For weeks now, I’ve been feeling that a key factor in the timing of a unilateral strike against Iran by Israel was the Israeli election. This past week we’ve seen several headlines that suggest that Israel might very well be contemplating it.
Acting Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert said of a nuclear program in Iran, ‘”In any case, Israel will not accept a situation in which it is threatened.”
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz stated, “We are giving priority at this stage to diplomatic action … but we cannot tolerate a nuclear option for Iran and we must prepare ourselves,” Mr Mofaz said. “We must develop the option of our defense with all that implies.”
The war drums are beating just a little louder these days in Israel!
If Israel does in fact decide to act, she will most likely be doing it alone. Why will no one step in and stand with her? Because of Iranian oil, of course! There is no doubt that the western world’s thirst for oil will prevent it from taking an active military role in this one.
Israel will probably be blamed for skyrocketing oil prices in the future. Hmmm… Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle – does this ring a bell?
Until next time,
George

In thinking about the prophecied coming battles which will kill one-third of all mankind, one would have to be part of that war to become part of those which are killed. We are not to love our life (or the oil/money)unto death! We KNOW prophecy SHALL be fulfilled. It is written. “Whomever blesses Israel shall be blessed, and whomever curses Israel shall be cursed.”… “When Israel is surrounded by her enemies, look up, your redemption draws near.”(parenthesis mine) We should be certain we are “sealed for redemption by the Holy Spirit.”

We must remember the words of Paul, the purpose for Israel is that ALL be saved by Yeshua.
May the coming demonstration of power to save Israel, cause the salvation of Jew and Gentile alike. In the meantime let’s fast and pray as Watchman for Zion’s sake. Isa 62:1-4

I’m thinking Israel will have to go nuclear on this one. The bunker busters they have from the US will not go deep enough to destroy the underground facilities. They will be expecting a heavy response back afterwards and will probably take out Syria at the same time. Not sure what will happen at the temple mount, but somehow it will probably change hands to the Jews in all this to come. (just my speculation) I know the most inportant thing is to keep our eyes on our Lord and Savior Jesus.

The only problem with Isreal bombing Iran just yet is that we, the US are physically in the way. Iran, in a counter strike would have to go through our forces in Iraq, AND risk being flanked from Afghanistan in order to get to Isreal. I’m not at all saying that it will not happen, but the Iranians will have to get rid of the US in Iraq before they can get to Isreal, which is their ultimate goal. Has anyone else heard about the “Iranian oil Bourse”? If not, mabye Google that phrase and find out about it. I think it is how Iran will get us out of Iraq.

When our great country was formed the foundation was made with our faith in the lord. For many years we stood strong and prospered. Now every day passes that the foundation of this country is being torn away. Politicians who claimed the lord as their driving force turn their back on him everyday as well as the people who gave them their positions. The pathway to hell is paved with good intentions. As christians it is our duty to stand up in the name of Jesus and his father, our creator. If you were to listen to the media you would believe that this country is no longer great. The media sympathizes more with the enemy than is does with the people that protect it. I do not listen to anything but my heart which is filled with the love of my savior Jesus Christ. We are stronger than what we are made out to believe. Together we have to unite in the name of God and stand for all that is right for everyone and not just ourselves. To fail is not to believe. I believe and I will stand for Isreal. Greed has corrupted our politicians as they watch so not to lose favour in the mid-east. We have alternatives that greed has silenced. Choose wisely whom to select to stand for what you believe in. God, family, and country is the order which they must stand.

I am very surprised at how ignorant many people are on this site, I guess you better pray if Israel gets there way their will be no one on the face of the earth but them. Actually they can’t kill all the enemies they are currently making and for anyone that seriously calls themself a Christian better get a better source of education on world events and fast. I guess you also don’t realize the Israelis killed and destroyed Qanaa a Christian landmark where many Christians lived and were killed, they kill anyone who gets in their way, American, Christian, Women, Children. Did you forget Jesus? They are a Military Democracy. Wow Wake UP

If Obama or Clinton are elected as President, you can bet Israel will be left alone to fight. Ezekiel states that while the ARAB coalition attack, America will stand back and watch. Why?
Because after we leave Iraq, the American people won’t “want” to go back and help. That’s when we see Gods intervention. “Praise the Lord!”
By the way, according to polls in the U.S., it appears that a Democrate “will” be the next President. Also, you notice that “DEMO”crates and “DEMO”ns have something in common? FYI.

It is time to witness like never before, if you can get “The way of the Master” teaching, teach it, and go into the highway and hedges. God wants his house filled for the wedding feast! Lets try and get as many to the universal wedding that we possibly can NO MATTER WHO IT IS… WITNESS LIKE CRAZY! Birthpangs come on quicker and quicker and quicker and suddenly new life! AMEN!

Just look at how Israel handled Iraq and Syria with regard to nuclear weapons. I don’t think it will be any different for Iran.
I pray the U.S. will continue to support Israel.

I know one thing, if Isreal went to war and needed my help,I would be honored to fight by their side. Just to be included in the fight to defend God’s people would be a blessing.
