Over the last year Iran has developed a major presence in the middle east conflicts and “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are now leading war action in four Mid East arenas: Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon,while building Shiite “popular” armies deferring to Tehran in three: Syria, Iraq and Yemen.”
Like so many other Middle East countries, the country of Yemen has recently fallen into civil war with the Iranian backed Houthisat the center. With the recent solar eclipse behind us, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in a joint effort, have attacked the country of Yemen. It seems the predictions of Middle East expert, Avi Lipkin are now coming to past. The end game is the capture and control of Islam’s two most holy cities. That of Mecca and Medina located in Saudi Arabia. Both the Sunnis (Saudis) and the Shiites (Iran) want control.
If you didn’t catch it, there are many interesting numbers surrounding this election. You can read about it below. Does this election mark the beginning of the many prophetic events on Israel’s horizon?
The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has announced that it has finished building an altar suitable for the Temple service. The altar, which took several years to build, can be operational at little more than a moment’s notice, reported Matzav Haruach magazine.
“I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.” Isaiah 46:13 (KJV)
This Tuesday March 3rd, the Israeli PM Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress and the ending result of that speech will be the most important in Israel’s history and arguably the world. His speech before Congress will be directed against an unfavorable nuclear deal between the White House Administration and Iran. Why is this important?
Because the US Congress is the last line of defense against an unfavorable deal with Iran on the Nuclear accord. If Congress gets enough votes, they can override whatever may be put in place at the time by the White House Administration.
The threat against the continued existence of Israel is the greatest in their history. Israel is completely surrounded by Muslim nations that are slowly but steadily moving closer to their borders. Iran has on multiple occasions threatened to eliminate Israel from the map and if given the chance with a nuclear bomb, make no mistake, they will do so….
A group of Iranian dissidents said on Tuesday that Iran has an “underground top-secret site” that is enriching uranium intended for nuclear weapons and which has been hidden from the West for years
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psa. 2:4
Fortunately, the bible tells us Israel will not be eliminated, and Iran/Persia will be defeated on two accounts. But, will this speech lead to the ancient, obscure Prophecy against Elam triggering one event after another leading up to the Gog and Magog war and then the Tribulation? Read about Prophecy against Elam below:
Following Obama’s threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.
According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.
The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administrationrevealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
The US has been a friend to the nation of Israel since its’ creation in 1948. Will Congress intervene if an unfavorable deal is reached between Iran and the White House? What will the future of the US hold?
“It is my duty as Israeli prime minister, and as one who looks out for the future of the Jewish people, to do everything possible to convince the sole body [Congress]capable of perhaps preventing such a deal,” Netanyahu said.
As you read the address by Netanyahu below, keep in mind the following scripture. Written back in the first book of Genesis, it has held true throughout the generations of man. The U.S. has been a friend to Israel since its creation in 1948.
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3
Tonight I want to address some important questions that have undoubtedly been on your minds. First, why am I going to Washington? I’m going to Washington because as Prime Minister of Israel, it’s my obligation to do everything in my power to prevent the conclusion of a bad deal that could threaten the survival of the State of Israel. The current proposal to Iran would endanger Israel. It would enable Iran to breakout to its first nuclear device within an unacceptably short time. And it would allow Iran to build an industrial capability to enrich uranium that could provide the fuel for many bombs in the coming years.
A regime that openly calls for Israel’s destruction would thus have finally the means to realize its genocidal aims. Now mind you, I’m not opposed to any deal with Iran. I’m opposed to a bad deal with Iran. And I believe this is a very bad deal. I’m certainly not opposed to negotiations. On the contrary – no country has a greater interest, a greater stake, in the peaceful resolution of the Iranian nuclear question than does Israel. But the current proposal will not solve the problem. It will perpetuate and aggravate the problem. It would provide a path for Iran to become a nuclear power. And therefore it’s very important that I speak about this in Washington.
Second question: Why am I going to Congress? Because Israel has been offered the opportunity to make its case on this crucial issue before the world’s most important parliament; because a speech before Congress allows Israel to present its position to the elected representatives of the American people and to a worldwide audience; because Congress has played a critical role in applying pressure to the Iranian regime – the very pressure that has brought the ayatollahs to the negotiating table in the first place; and because Congress may very well have a say on the parameters of any final deal with Iran. That’s why I’m going to Congress.
I think the real question that should be asked is how could any responsible Israeli prime minister refuse to speak to Congress on a matter so important to Israel’s survival? How could anyone refuse an invitation to speak on a matter that could affect our very existence when such an invitation is offered?
Why go now? The deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran is March 24th.
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
