Will Nuclear Weapons Be Used Against Iran?
Reports are coming out of the Arab Media that two Israeli "Missile Boats" passed through the Suez Canal, on February 6th, enroute to the Red Sea. Speculation is that the ultimate destination is, in fact, the Persian Gulf.
Last summer, another Israeli warship passed through the Suez Canal accompanied, reports say, by an Israeli submarine. You may read the article HERE.
These reports combined with Iran's recent promise to strike the west with a "stunning blow" on February 11th, would lead one to conclude the stage is being set for a "counter strike" should Iran go through with it's threat.
There is another line of thought, which says the stage is being set for the attack by Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities.
The Egyptians are reporting that the Israeli Navy, in cooperation with the US Fifth Fleet, have been charting Persian Gulf waters and Iranian shorelines in preparation for attacks by the Israeli naval and special operations forces. These reports, for what they are worth, and frankly, we don't know yet, are saying the Israelis and Americans are locating and defining routes to be used by their forces to drive into Iran, by air and by ground, to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to Debka Files the Egyptians are reporting that Saudi officials are pressing the US to explain why they were not told of US assistance to Israel in planning the attack on Iran. These same reports say that some Gulf intelligence services and navel units have actually tracked some of the Israeli/American movements and are able to document them.
You may read this report, in its entirety, at DEBKA FILES HERE.
Why do we give this report and others concerning these Israeli naval movements credence? Because Iran has been making aggressive noises lately. As others have noted and reported, Iran tends to do this when they feel nervous and threatened. This would explain their most recent threats to strike the west "a stunning blow" on February 11th.
A couple of things: The American President, Obama, is NOT-- I repeat -- is NOT, a supporter of Israel. Number two: Bebe Netanyahu doesn't give a d**n what Obama does or does not support! Netanyahu will do whatever is necessary to preserve the lives of Israelis and the nation of Israel - and -- in our opinion, he should.
Obama's lack of support for Israel is another mistake, a HUGE mistake, on his part. The American people, generally speaking, support Israel. We tend to always pull for the underdog, especially if that underdog is a democracy. Remember, the US was the first nation to recognize the State of Israel as a new state. We have supported Israel, to one degree or another, ever since -- right up until Obama.
We would suggest the Obama Regime get real -- and get real fast -- because there is another player in all this - Russia. Russia will almost certainly be involved in any fight between Israel and Iran. They will be in the fray on the side of Iran. Russia has a very real interest in Iran as a countermeasure to what they see as U.S. Mideast dominance.
No matter how one interprets the latest news about the Israeli Missile Boat maneuvers, one thing is certain: Israel is preparing to strike Iran and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. That is a given. It is also a given that no matter what Obama thinks about Israel, the US WILL be involved in the fight against Iran and Russia.
In all likelihood Iran's surrogate Syria will attack Israel from the north to force Israel to commit a large portion of its military resources to a fight on its own ground. Anything thrown at Syria will not be thrown at Iran.
Obama, and other national leaders with weak knees, should not be surprised if Israel uses nukes against Iran to ensure Iran's nuclear facilities are completely destroyed. Netanyahu knows he will be condemned by most European nations if he facilitates his nuclear arsenal. That is NOT, however his concern. Netanyahu's only concern is the preservation of Israel.
Iran has repeatedly declared that it will "wipe Israel off the map" and the IDF is taking this threat seriously -- as it should.
Whatever happens, Israel has been preparing for war with Iran for many months. The Israel Defense Forces, some months ago, purchased three new Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) and have several submarines on alert in the region.
All of this comes at a time when President Obama is asking for a 25% cut in the US Military. Even without a third front, a third war in the Middle East in which the US military is involved up to it's waist, it makes absolutely NO SENSE to reduce the size of the US Military by one soldier, let alone by one-quarter of its force. With the current developments in the Gulf, America may find that it must re-establish the draft to ENLARGE its standing military force. In fact, the Progressives are so enamored of the draft that may be exactly what they are attempting to do.
My crystal ball remains dark. I cannot predict what will happen in the short run between Israel and Iran. In the long run, however, a crystal ball is not needed. At some point in the future, Israel and Iran WILL collide in war. Alongside Israel will be the US. Alongside Iran will be Russia. With US forces stretched to the limit, the use of nuclear weapons by the US will certainly be on the table. The only question is - will Obama have the intestinal fortitude to use them. Or -- will he allow US forces to be annihilated?

But, then again, the White House is ruled by Freemasons - the satanic cult that also rules the synagogue of satan mentioned in Revelations 2:9 & 3:9 - the false 'Israel'.
The REAL Israel is going to be inherited by those who 'take refuge in the name of the Lord'. That name is Jesus Christ - a person the Jews have completely denied. The yanks are hypocrites and practice apostacy. The US rules from Babylon now. It will fall. Babylon is a metaphor for the economic system of the west - it will fall; ESPECIALLY when the Iranians block the Persian Gulf and 40% of the world's oil supply.
You and the false 'Israel' are on the brink of destruction. Just cross that line ...
Good on Russia for supporting the underdog!
And, don't forget China!!!! You've trodden on their toes enough times now for them to join Russia. The red dragon will drag one-third of the stars out of the sky as the book of Revelations 12:4 says. China only has to shoot all of the US satellites out of the sky for the US military to be put out of action completely. The yanks can't pee straight without a GPS system.
But keep trying with that crystal ball thingy ...

And then there are all those hundreds, maybe thousands, of floating submerged mines all across the exit area of the Gulf to manouvre huge ships around without blowing the sides off them. No, not much shock or awe there.
I'm dumbfounded that the yanks and jews could be so stupid as to think that going into the Persian Gulf to attack Iran is a great idea because it worked with Iraq - twice. Iraq was right down the end of the Gulf, making it easy for ships to move freely. But, Iran completely surrounds the tiny little entrance strait so ships are in full view of attack for many miles. Plus - there are all those floating mines that they are definitely going to put across the exit zone.
Too late now though ... Sitting ducks ...

Secondly, both powers have MINESWEEPERS guess what those mines in the gulf could be removed in all of 24 hours.... and unless nuclear force is used neither the Iranians or Russia could take out the American force with direct confrontation. Plus China would not dare directly go against America, our economy still controls the world if we fail, they fail plain pure and simple because they have bought in to our debt they have an interest in how we do and if they attack us we can declare that the debt is no longer valid.
Third,your verses Rev. 2:9 and 3:9 are written to churches in Asia minor, NOT to Israel, and do not forget that back in the biblican time period Jew did not mean what it does today. Peter tells us that there was never meant to be a split between Judaism and Christianity but that it is simply how it happened after 100 or so years, which while started to happen during the time revelation was written did not happen as we know it until after John was dead. Also Isaiah 10: 5-6 is not an end time prophecy but talking about a*syria which you would know if you knew history.
While there will eventually be a war, Israel is said that she will prevail, the NATION of Israel that is, because God keeps covenant. Also it never once says America is the 'new babylon' quite the opposite it says that what we know today as the EU (called the renewed rome which the EU started with ten regions that originally made up the Roman empire) Gog and Magog which are Russia and China, and the middle east are the major players in the battle that we know as Armageddon which is actually simply where the final battle takes place. America will not be the major power it is now but we will play a role so America cannot be Babylon.
Learn how to read in things in context, look at todays events, and overall argue with intelligence. It is not that hard to realize these facts.
P.S. Its stupid to think that a bullet would be able to be aimed at something moing at the speed of sound or greater or go up to 30 or 40 thousand feet.... don't you ever wonder why people dont shoot at jets? by the time you hear them they are already gone and they move faster than that bullet you are shooting.
