JD: From Tehran they’re making the statement that every empire will come to an end. Well that’s true, the Medo-Persian Empire did but they’re still in the battle. Talk to us about this.
KT: Well the Iranians, look Jimmy they are suffering at the hand of US and increasingly internationally sanctions. This said the Iranians clearly are trying to step up the tensions militarily in the Strait of Hormuz. I would take as far more serious the statements from Iranian military leaders who are warning both the United States and Israel not to patrol the Strait of Hormuz and not to enter into the Persian Gulf. That to me is a far more serious statement than the foreign minister thumping his chest and wondering how he’s going to access his US bank account.
JD: Iran’s sending a warning to Israel, if you get involved in the Persian Gulf and as you mentioned the Strait of Hormuz there’s going to be smoke over Tel Aviv. That’s a pretty strong statement isn’t it?
KT: That is a strong statement and those statements I think are quite serious. The Iranians do not want to see an international coalition in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea area that would inhibit their activities and now they see it surging back into the area and they’re worried. So they’re desperate to keep foreigners out. The two biggest ones they’re worried about the US and the UK obviously but also they’re worried about Israel. Israel has offered to join a multi lateral naval force to maintain freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf. And here is where the Iranians threaten Israel at home should they do such a thing.
JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on Iran’s statement and activities this week in our world.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Iran’s recall of the history of empires is correct. We have
history of Gentile world powers, Gentile empires that have fallen in the past.
In fact the Medo-Persian Empire is one of those empires that has fallen some
2,500 years ago, that’s Daniel 11:3 & 4.
As Iran try’s to put together their worldwide empire they
must remember that empires will fall. Their empire will fall as well. That
Iranian empire will be a part of an alignment of nations, Ezekiel 38. That future
Islamic empire will also fall in the future, that’s Ezekiel 38:18-39:6. The
Iranian statement this week is correct, empires will fall.
