Many of the commanders in the Israeli Defense Force, especially those in the Israeli Air Force, are openly calling for and in fact demanding a strike on Iran's nuclear program which is part of the discussion on how Israel will eventually deal with the threat of a nuclear Iran. Recent targeted assassination of Iran's nuclear scientist, the campaign to sabotage or slow down Iran's nuclear program, has been the method of choice by the Israeli government.
For the hardliners of the Israeli military, the targeted assassinations do not go far enough and these military leaders are getting louder and louder in their demands for a strike on Iran.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Israeli Air Force generals that are demanding a strike on Iran's nuclear program are being used to set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
In the early eighties the Israeli Air Force led the attack and the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Iraq in order to shut down Saddam Hussein's nuclear program. Now some of these same officers are demanding a similar attack on Iran's nuclear program, a program that is working to develop a nuclear weapon of mass destruction. Israel's political leadership says that Iran's potential for a nuclear weapon of mass destruction is the major threat to the Jewish state of Israel. Iran not only threatens Israel, but the entire Middle East is very concerned about a nuclear powered Iranian military.
The radical rhetoric and the ongoing development of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction is actually part of an agenda for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy. Ezekiel wrote some 2500 years ago that Iran would indeed be a major player in the last days. Ezekiel used the Biblical title for Iran when referring to them in Ezekiel 38:5 where he used the term "Persia". Until 1936, Iran was known as Persia but today they are known as Iran, the troubling nation of the east found in Daniel 11:44. Iran has become a major player in the unrest in the Arab world and Iran's influence impacts every single terroristic event in the Middle East region.
With good reason, the Israeli Air Force generals want to bomb Iran because Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
