World powers hold talks on Iran's nuclear program

Only days after Iran was accused of secretly building a second uranium plant, world leaders sat at the table with representatives of the Iranian government to discuss their controversial nuclear program even as Germany said that Iran was failing to cooperate in the talks. As 5 members of the United Nations Security Council; Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany met with the Iranians, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency reported that Iran has been on the wrong side of the law in hiding the uranium plant, breaking a requirement of all members of the United Nations.

As these meetings are going on in Geneva, Switzerland the world is watching - especially the nation of Israel as they sit under a threat from Iran who said that Israel must be wiped off the Earth and they then test fired missiles that they say can reach any target in Israel.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As world leaders meet with Iran to discuss the threat of their nuclear program, a student of Bible prophecy realizes that this scenario can be found in the prophetic passages of God's word.

The game plan for the leaders of Iran over the years related to their nuclear program and the development of a weapon of mass destruction has been to talk until the talks fall apart, wait for some time, and then start new talks. This procedure has been repeated over and over and now a group of 6 major world powers have fallen into the trap and are now talking with the Iranians. This delaying action by Iran has only allowed this rogue nation to move closer to a nuclear weapon of mass destruction as they continue to enrich weapons grade uranium.

This scenario has set the stage for the prophetic scenario for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy. Iran, referred to in Ezekiel 38: 5 as Persia, has given evidence that they want to have Israel removed from the Middle East, in fact, the entire world. Iran's president, Ahmadinejad, seemed to quote Psalm 83:4 when he called for Israel to be destroyed and her name be forgotten forever. Though Israel is preparing to defend itself from an Iranian nuclear attack, the Bible says that the Lord will intercede to protect the Jewish nation from Iran (Ezekiel 38:18 - 39:6).

Talks or no talks in Geneva - Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
