Russia has signed an agreement with Iran to deliver 29 of its Tor M-1 anti-missile systems to them, a system that could intercept cruise missiles and airborne missiles that the United States, Israel, and other western countries might use in an effort to keep the terrorist sponsoring nation from developing nuclear weapons or using them.
This report comes at a time when the Chief of Israeli Military Intelligence is telling the Israeli Knesset Iran will be a nuclear weapon ready state within two years and that Israel must consider taking military action against Iran. Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says his country cannot accept Iran with nuclear weapons, they are a danger to Israel, the Middle East, and other countries around the world.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Russia equipping Iran for war is a page out of Bible prophecy for the End Times and should get world attention. For a number of years Russia has transferred nuclear technology and technicians to Iran for, as they say, the purpose of building nuclear power plants. The Israelis have during this same time gone public with warnings that this nuclear technology was for the purpose of developing a nuclear weapon.
The United Nations, the European Union, and the United States have also been working to stop any nuclear program in Iran that could develop nuclear weapons of mass destruction, mostly to no avail. Even threats to take Iran to the United Nations Security Council has not slowed down Iran's nuclear weapons development program.
The news that Russia will supply Iran with a missile shield system to stop any preemptive strike on its nuclear program has added great concern to the mix. This report is like reading from the pages of Bible prophecy from the prophetic message of the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 38, the prophet reveals that two of the main players in the End Times scenario laid out in scripture will be Russia, the Gog in verse two, and Iran, the Persia in verse five. These two nations align themselves with other Arab and Islamic nations to come against Israel with a fatal blow to the Jewish state.
Even though the Lord intercedes on Israel's behalf, Russia equipping Iran for war sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
