Iran's Defiance Makes Sense

(Comic link: http://www.coxandforkum.com/archives/000720.html )


Ahmadinejad makes the statement that Iran poses no threat to anyone, even Israel.


Iran continues to defy UN's demands to halt its nuclear program, and why not? Has the UN proven itself to be an intimidating force? For years throughout the 90's Saddam Hussein time after time violated UN resolutions after the Persian Gulf war. Hussein flies over designated "no-fly" zones and what does the UN do? It simply wags its finger, Now Now Hussein you bad boy, don't do that. Hussein restricts weapon inspections and the UN again only wags its fingers, Now Now Hussein, don't do that. Then after a decade of this nonsense when the US and UK decide it's time to implement Plan C, since Plan A and B didn't work, it could not get the support of the UN, who insists on sticking to the same old ineffective tactics. So no wonder Iran doesn't take any demand of the UN seriously.

However, The arming of Iran falls right in line with prophecy. Iran was named some 2600 years ago as one of the nations in a coalition that will come against Israel in the end times.

Ezekiel 38:3-5
and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.

"I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company {with} buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords;

Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them {with} shield and helmet;

Persia, which is obviously Iran, will attempt a momentous attack with many other nations against Israel, but will have its armies destroyed when the Lord intervenes. Even though it is divine intervention that has held Israel as a nation in the midst of the numerous attacks from her enemies for 50 years, after this incident there will be no doubt to the world that the Lord is protecting His people in His land.

Sha ' alu Shalom Yerushalayim! Continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
