As world leaders focus on the defiance of Iran and its refusal to stop development of its nuclear weapons program, Russia and China are working on securing an agreement with Iran that might bring an acceptable solution to this standoff.
In Europe: the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, are calling for an emergency meeting of the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, they want the issue referred to the United Nation's Security Council which is in line with US policy as well. Meanwhile in Israel, acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says that Israel will not allow a nation with hostile intentions, like Iran has for Israel, to have Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD).
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Russia and China working together to stop Iran's development of a nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) has an interesting link to the End Times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. Iran's defiance to the pressures of the world as it relates to their nuclear program and the development of a Nuclear WMD has brought together some very interesting partners focused on this issue.
The US has joined their voice with the European Union and especially the United Kingdom, France, and Germany in an effort to curtail Iran's buildup of a nuclear arsenal. Now, Russia and China have partnered to see if they can first, stop the implementation of UN's sanctions on Iran and second, to work with Iran to help develop a nuclear program that would not be a threat to the entire world. Meanwhile, Israel says no way will it allow Iran to have a Nuclear WMD that would strike them with intensity.
This present-day scenario has an interesting link to the prophetic scenario of Bible prophecy. Russia, the Magog of Ezekiel 38:2, who is a major player at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation Period and China, the Kings of the East, Revelation 16:12, a major player at the end of the Tribulation Period working with Iran who is the Persia Ezekiel 38:5. Add to that mix Israel, the focus of all of Bible prophecy, and the stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
