On July 27, just before Friday prayers, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei summoned top Iranian military chiefs for what he called “their last war council.“We’ll be at war within weeks,” he told the gathering.
Meanwhile Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, July 31, that he hasn’t yet reached a decision on attacking Iran. He then went on to say, “The ayatollahs have inscribed Israel’s destruction on their banner” and stressed his personal commitment “not to permit Israel to come under Iranian atomic threat.”
U.S. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta said this week "I think the president has made clear that the United States stands with Israel and the international community in making very clear that we will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon,"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we are heading to a showdown in the Middle East. More and more characters are entering the stage too. This past week saw the movement of a Chinese Navy vessel into the region. This move is unprecedented and indicates just how perilous the situation is growing. The fulfillment of the great Gog / Magog war is coming into focus. While the Iranian drama continues to intensify the Syria conflict is racing to what may soon be fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy concerning the destruction of Damascus.
Isaiah 17:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.
It should be clear even to the most casual Bible reader that we are living in pivotal times. Big changes in the way we live and perhaps where we live are coming very soon. Do you know Jesus as Savior? Have you come to the point in your life where you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to Heaven? You can know for sure and this certainty can only come by trusting Christ. Watch the little video in the right sidebar. Let me know if you have trusted Jesus. I would like to rejoice together with you!
