European leaders believe Israel will strike Iran in November or December

European diplomats told the Financial Times that Western countries are discussing imposing financial sanctions on Iran in early November for fear of a possible Israeli military strike against the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities.

These diplomats will be joined by the US and its allies without the support of the UN as they impose these economic sanctions on Iran because they believe Tehran is accelerating its nuclear program which increases the chances for an Israeli military response. Israeli officials have said they cannot and will not allow Iran to develop a Nuclear WMD even if they must deal militarily with Iran by themselves.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Israel says they cannot allow for a nuclear Iran and they must stop them; however, Bible prophecy says divine intervention will stop Iran's desire to wipe Israel off the map.

Israeli intelligence agencies have said for years now that Iran is the biggest threat to the Jewish state. Israeli leaders told me they cannot allow Iran to develop a Nuclear WMD, they must respond to Iran and soon with a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Over the last six months, the world has witnessed that Iranian President Ahmadinejad has ratcheted up his radical rhetoric against Israel.

All of this talk of a military strike on Iran led by the IDF is a possible lead up to an actual attack, but according to Bible prophecy, Iran will be stopped by divine intervention. Ezekiel 38:5 mentions Persia as one of the nations that will attack Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation Period. Biblical Persia is Iran today, the focus of this discussion. Ezekiel 38:18-22 and 39:1-6 reveal that the Lord will intervene when Iran and the other member states of the coalition attack Israel and will destroy five out of every six of all the peoples of the nations attacking Israel, including Iran.
