Iranian President
Ahmadinejad, the Iranian military chief, and even the leadership of the
Supreme Council of Iran, the Ayatollahs, the Islamic leaders, say that
they are prepared for an attack from Israel, the United States, or any
other nation that may decide to move against the Islamic Republic. The
Iranian threat to the Middle East, Europe, and even to the United
States, is the development of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction in
Iran that could be used to destroy the Jewish state as has been called
for by the Iranian president.
Israel recognizes
Iran as their number one threat and have put in place a strategic plan
to make certain that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon of mass
destruction that could be fired on the Jewish state and that plan may
well be a preemptive strike against Iran.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The saber
rattling by Iran against Israel and the fact that there is evidence
Israel is preparing for a preemptive strike against Iran is a precursor
to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the
last days.
There has been
much discussion among Israeli officials in recent days that seems to
indicate the Israeli government may well be ready to order a preemptive
strike against Iran in order to dismantle Iran's development of a
nuclear weapon of mass destruction. Iran has responded to these
discussions with a declaration of readiness to go to war with Israel.
The Israeli government says they will not allow the Iranians to launch a
long range missile with a nuclear warhead towards the Jewish state of
Israel. Almost every Israeli leader believes that Iran is indeed
Israel's number one threat and that they must be dealt with.
What is so
interesting to me as a student of Bible prophecy is that this scenario
was foretold 2500 years ago by the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 38:5 mentions the nation Persia as one of the nations that will
align themselves against the Jewish state. Until 1936 the nation of Iran
was called Persia - today it's Iran. In the Scriptures we find out that
the Lord will intercede in the affairs of man and destroy Iran and the
other nations aligned against the Jewish state when they make their
attack against Israel (Ezekiel 38:18 - 39:6).
Israel is as
expected preparing to take care of their number one threat Iran.
However, the Lord will be the one to defend the Jewish state that is
according to Bible prophecy - Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
