Israel to Strike Iran Soon

Day in and day out, through both Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as local and national media, we are constantly hearing mixed signals from both the United States of America and its greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel that an attack is about imminent on Iran.  Iran has constantly and consistently been playing

“war words” with not only Israel and the United States but with the European Community as well.  What I have to say here is this:  Prophecy is about to be fulfilled, and we all need to be ready!

There is a problem however, with Israel attacking Iran.  Teheran, Iran’s capital, supposedly houses nearly 10,000 Iranian Jews.  Of course, Israel’s attacks may be more “surgical” in other areas where suspected nuclear weapons facilities are located, but still, what would Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad do with the Iranian Jews that still occupy Iran?  Will he murder them or release them to Israel or to the United States?  These are questions that need to be answered.

So, what may need to happen is for the innocent Iranian population to stand up once again and speak out on possible war.  It is going to be up to them to stand tall and oppose their president so that they can live the lives that they deserve to live:  in Peace.

Today, it is said that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made a statement that Israel will strike Iran by the spring or early summer.  This is irresponsible as it opens up the possibility of failure since the news is out.  This is what happened in the summer conflict between Israel and the Hamas in the Gaza Strip a couple of years ago.  News of Israeli troop movements was broadcasted over the Internet making it extremely hard for the Israeli ground units in their success.  Unfortunately, this can’t be stopped unless the internet is shut down.

I really hate to write things when it comes to possible conflict in the Middle East again.  When I say this, we have to remember that the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are not considered part of the Middle East, so they cannot be considered part of an overall Middle East conflict.

What I do like to do is point out some scripture from The Holy Bible that mentions the Middle East conflict that might be imminent here in the near future.  Then you might get a better grip on what we might expect.

The reason for Israel’s prominence today is biblical rather than political. The Bible says that God chose a special people to be His witness to the world:

‘”You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen” … And what nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land …’ (Isa 43.10)(2 Sam 7.23)

Although the nation of Israel was scattered some 2500 years ago, the Bible says that it will be regathered in the last days of this age:

‘”I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone … and bring them into their own land …”‘ (Ezek 37.21)

The ‘all-nation’ invasion is precisely that. God says:

‘I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle …’ (Zech 14.2)

At the very end of this age all nations will be gathered against Israel for war. But despite sophisticated weapons, they will be defeated by the God of Israel. The Bible indicates that this could be nuclear war:

“…the day is coming, burning like a furnace … (it) will set them ablaze … they will be ashes under the soles of your feet…” (Mal 4.1,3)

The president of Iran made the following statement to the world ….“Israel should be eliminated from the pages of history” … President of Iran, 2006. At no time would you hear a leader of the State of Israel make such a remark about another nation. Adolf Hitler during the Second World War did what he could to annihilate the Jews of Europe but failed. So, how does the president of Iran think he can annihilate Israel? God will not let it happen. Just as the Pharaoh of Egypt capitulated and allowed the Israelite’s to leave Egypt, so it will be that God will allow His People to survive another war.

The question is, how will they survive? God. The Jewish people were told that a savior would come to them and save them. This was mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible in the Book of Isaiah as well as other Books and this was fulfilled when Jesus Christ was delivered to earth.

So, Gog and Magog or not as was outlined in the Book of Elijah in the Old Testament, is being set. Will Russia and China and Iran and other countries of the region line up for war against the State of Israel at Meggido, a mountainous region overlooking Jerusalem? By the way, Megiddo translates into Armageddon.

Something or someone strong needs to intervene. It just might time for Jesus Christ’s return.
