Bible Prophecy Today, as well as quite a few others got hoodwinked in a ploy over facts of a story versus the "inside sources" leaking a story to manipulate news services.
None of these sites, to date, do retractions or admit Error, But I do.
Normally I post questionable stories in "What Do You Beleive" and save FACT based and proven details for "The Time is at Hand" I posted the article below and was wrong to do so in that Forum, it should have been here as Rumored.
I wish, the other sites as well as wherever you read this story admits they made a mistake, because in factg we are dealing with God, not making and creating sensationlism to sell ourselves, our books, our name or our site.
DEBKAfile confirms: Israeli PM Netanyahu DID NOT travel to Russia Monday as mistakenly reported
September 10, 2009, 10:06 AM (GMT+02:00)
Our sources confirm as unfounded the media claims that prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu traveled secretly to Moscow Monday, Sept. 9 for talks with Russian leaders. He did not leave the country at all, either for Moscow or any other destination.
The erroneous accounts of his putative trip have caused the Israeli government acute diplomatic embarrassment. Wednesday, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and prime minister Vladimir Putin officially denied that they or any other high-ranking Russian officials had held talks with the Israeli prime minister or met him in Moscow.
Someone has EGG on thier face, You will have to decide Who....since both can't be right and Israel and Russia officially deny the story and many experts question it's validity.
Netanyahu’s Secret Trip to Moscow Confirmed
By Joel C. Rosenberg
“A senior Kremlin official confirmed Wednesday to the Russian paper Kommersant that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu did make a clandestine trip to Russia on Monday,” reports the Jerusalem Post this morning.
“The report in the Russian newspaper comes despite a statement Wednesday from the Kremlin press service that ‘nothing is known’ about reports of the visit. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, also said he had no information, the Interfax news agency reported.
Nevertheless, there was never any official denial of the report from Moscow.
On Wednesday night, the Prime Minister’s Office appeared to stick to its original version of events: that Netanyahu was occupied with ’secret and classified activities’ during his unexplained absence of more than 12 hours.
...What is almost as mysterious as whether the trip took place, is what might have been discussed, with speculation focused on Iran, possible Russian arms deals to Iran and Syria, or the disappearance of the Arctic Sea cargo ship – suspected of carrying Russian made S-300 anti-aircraft missiles bound for Iran – that went missing last month.
The trip, if indeed it took place, would not have been the result of an impromptu, emergency decision, since there was already talk among Netanyahu’s inner circle during his visit to London and Berlin two weeks ago about a possible visit to Russia ahead of the United Nations General Assembly meeting at the end of the month.
Interestingly, almost exactly two years ago, then-prime minister Ehud Olmert paid a lightning visit to Moscow to meet with then-Russian president Vladimir Putin, a day after the Russian leader returned from a trip to Teheran in which he warned outside powers not to attack Iran and said there was no evidence it was developing nuclear arms.”
The mystery surrounding the trip comes as ex-Mossad chief Danny Yatom tells the Israeli media that he now believes the only way to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons is through the use of military force.“Only military action can stop Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capabilities, former Mossad chief Danny Yatom told Army Radio late Wednesday night, though he added that he doubted the United States would approve such a step.Another sobering report in the Russian and Israeli media this morning:
Responding to an interviewer’s query, asking Yatom if he had reached the conclusion that only military action could stop Iran’s drive toward nuclear weapons, the ex-Mossad head said ‘yes, I have reached that conclusion.’
According to the former intelligence chief, the ‘world needs to understand — an Iranian bomb poses a risk to its safety.’”
“Russian report: Netanyahu may be planning attack – PM’s rushed visit to Moscow under cloud of secrecy occupies Russian media.Kommersant paper quotes ‘informed Israeli’ source as saying ‘It can’t be ruled out that Israel may be ready to move on to decisive actions with regards to Iran, and Netanyahu decided to inform Kremlin of this’”This morning, the Wall Street Journal has a must-read op-ed by former U.S. Ambassador to Germany Dan Coats and two foreign policy colleagues entitled, “Taking Iran Seriously: Tehran is on course for a nuclear weapon next year.”
In light of such developments, please continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for wisdom for U.S. and Israel leaders, for the strengthening of the Church and the spread of the gospel in the epicenter — and in Russia — and for the Church in the West to be awakened to the threats and the opportunities.
TO be Fair to Joel Rosenberg being Wrong, Bible Prophecy Today being wrong, I have to admit, I erred and was wrong posting this story in my Blog "The Time is at HanD" lending credibility to a manipulated source, which happens at times which is Why I use "what Do you beleive? for questionable or inaacurate stories.
Lately more and more Prophecy sites are Selling more and fact finding less and becoming unreliable as a Source for Bible Prophecy so the Reader need be wary and PROVE ALL THINGS. Do not accept a popular person anymore than yoiu accept a salesman selling bibles. Jesus said he would lead you inot all truth and alot of these sites rarely mention Jesus and the gospel but include a "obscure link" if you want to get saved.

Russian report: Netanyahu may be planning attack
Russian report: Netanyahu may be planning attack
PM's rushed visit to Moscow under cloud of secrecy occupies Russian media. Kommersant paper quotes 'informed Israeli' source as saying 'It can't be ruled out that Israel may be ready to move on to decisive actions with regards to Iran, and Netanyahu decided to inform Kremlin of this'

Russian media on Thursday continued to cover Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's mysterious visit to Moscow, that was leaked to the media from his office.
Kommersant newspaper quoted "experts" as saying they believe a visit of this kind could have stemmed from urgent circumstances, "for example, in the event that Israel plans to attack Iran".At first, Moscow denied a visit ever took place, but after Netanyahu's office was forced to admit to the PM's Military Secretary Meir Kalifi's lie, a senior Kremlin source also confirmed to Kommersant that the Israeli prime minister did indeed visit the city.Russian media also directed questions on the visit to the Israeli embassy in Moscow, but embassy sources said that if there was such a visit, "We know nothing about it."The paper then quoted what it called an "informed" Israeli source, who wished to remain anonymous, as saying, "Such a visit could be related to new information and could threaten the Iranian nuclear program. It should not be ruled out that Israel may be ready to move on to decisive actions with regards to Iran, and Netanyahu has decided to inform the Kremlin of this."Russian Foreign Minister Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko published an announcement saying, "We have no knowledge of a Netanyahu's 'secret' visit to Moscow. We saw reports in various media. They are inconsistent. Other than that, I cannot tell you anything. I have no detailed information in the matter, or any information in the matter. We have seen the reports."On Wednesday, Ynet revealed that Netanyahu left Israel on a private jet belonging Israeli millionaire Yossi Maiman. Earlier Wednesday, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that his destination was Russia.
announcements of his whereabouts were a loss for words.Wednesday night the Prime Minister's Office published yet another announcement in an attempt to rectify the damage, said, "The prime minister was busy with secret, classified activity. The military secretary took his own initiative to defend this activity."
