Tomorrow the 4th is the Fast of Esther (Ta’anit Ester, Hebrew: תַּעֲנִית אֶסְתֵּר) a Jewishfast from dawn until dusk on Purim eve, commemorating the three-day fast observed by the Jewish people in the story of Purim.
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.
Major movement in Iran’s nuclear program. Is this the unveiling of the Prophecy against Elam? Will it bring an Israeli airstrike against the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant or some other natural disaster in the near future?
Iran has begun construction on two new nuclear plants as negotiations with America over its contested program continue in Geneva, according to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
Construction of the nuclear plants, which Iran claims are for peaceful energy purposes, was revealed on Tuesday, the day before Secretary of State John Kerry was to meet with his Iranian counterpart for talks in Geneva.
News of the two new nuclear plants come on the heels of reports that Iran has been operating advanced missile sites in Syria and also building a secret nuclear plant there.
Rouhani touted the new nuclear construction following a meeting with investors in Iran’s southern Bushehr province, where the nuclear facilities are being built.
The new nuclear plants are being constructed with help from Russia, which signed an agreement in March with Iran to aid in the endeavor.
German reports also have claimed that Iran is building a clandestine nuclear site in Syria.
Tehran wants to massively ramp up the number of enrichment centrifuges — in order, it says, to make fuel for a fleet of power reactors that it is however yet to build.
An Iranian source told AFP on Sunday that the extension could be “six months or a year.”
Another extension — as happened with an earlier deadline of July 20 — however carries risks of its own, including possible fresh US sanctions that could lead Iran to walk away.
It will also fuel accusations from Israel, the Middle East’s sole if undeclared nuclear-armed state, that its arch foe Iran is merely buying time to get closer to the bomb.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned against Iran.
Will the US cave on its demands and give Iran the green light to build? The fast approaching deadline to reach a nuclear agreement is November 2014.
The US, which fears Tehran may enrich to weapons-grade level used to arm nuclear warheads, ideally wants no more than 1,500 centrifuges left operating. Iran insists it wants to use the technology only to make reactor fuel and for other peaceful purposes and insists it be allowed to run at least the present 9,400 machines.
The tentative new US offer attempts to meet the Iranians close to half way on numbers, said two diplomats who demanded anonymity because their information is confidential. They said it envisages letting Iran keep up to 4,500 centrifuges but would reduce the stock of uranium gas fed into the machines to the point where it would take more than a year of enriching to create enough material for a nuclear warhead………
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said that Israel “strongly opposes leaving thousands of [uranium] centrifuges active in Iran,” adding that “this deal is reminiscent of the failed deal reached in 2007 with North Korea, which now possesses 10 nuclear warheads.”
Regardless of the outcome, Israel will not stand for Iran to build a bomb. Iran has repeatedly made the statement of “removing Israel” from the map.
In battling the political echelon for defense budget increases on Sunday, the commander of the Israel Air Force, Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel, reminded everyone that the same planes used to attack Gaza over the summer could be called upon at any moment to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Israeli Prime Minster said Sunday night that Iran’s capacity to reach a nuclear weapon capacity in a short time is one of the top threats facing Israel today.
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
