A recent quote from Hajjat al-Eslam Ali Shriazi, a leader of the Qods Force, the foreign agency of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards:
‘Iran just needs 24 hours and an excuse to destroy Israel’.
Do not doubt, Iran will attempt to carry out its threats to annihilate Israel. They will do this for several reasons:
1/ The Islamic leadership of Iran is in trouble, the Iranian people no longer support their incompetent and repressive rule.
2/ Ahmadinejad will lose power next year and he believes it is his destiny to bring about the advent of the 12th Imam, the Isl*mic Mahadi.
3/ The economy is in a shambles, partly due to the sanction imposed because of their nucle*r programme and to mismanagement and corruption.
4/ A scapegoat is needed to divert the attention of the people and note the rhetoric of Ayatollah Khomeini; ‘We do not worship Iran, we worship All*h. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land burn, let this land go up in smoke, provided Isl*m emerges triumphant’. 1980
And Ahmadinejad: ‘Israel will cease to exist, we will remove the cancer from our midst’. Because by now, the world treats them as a bad joke and considers they are just bluff and bluster, then as soon as they have their WMD’s ready, they will say: ‘Now we will show the world we are for real’!
5/ But Bible prophesy is the best indication we have that very soon Iran and it’s proxies, [Psalm 83:6-8] will commence their attack on Israel.
Isaiah 21:2b...Advance Elam, up Media: To the siege! Do not hesitate!
Isaiah 22:6 Elam took up the quiver, the war chariots of Aram are readied and Kir has uncovered the shield.
Isaiah 22:8a The heart of Judah’s defences are laid open.
Jeremiah 49:35-39 I shall break the bow of Elam, the chief weapon of their might. I shall bring the four winds against them and will scatter them. I will terrify Elam before their foes and bring evil upon them, in My fierce anger, I will consume them with My sword until I have made an end to them. Then I shall set My throne in Elam and destroy their rulers and officers. Yet, in days to come I will restore the fortunes of Elam.
Ezekiel 7:14 The war trumpet has sounded and all are ready, but no war happens, as their actions have instigated the wrath of the Lord. Ref: REB, verses abridged.
Elam and Media: now Iran. Aram: now Syria. Kir: probably Iraq or Turkey.
Judah’s defences laid open – This may refer to Isaiah 21:2a, how a traitor will betray Israel.
I shall break the bow of Elam, their chief weapon. - Their nuke weapons are destroyed.
The Lord’s anger will consume them. – As described in Psalm 83:13-17... the Lord’s enemies will be scattered like chaff, with fire, blazing flames and tempests of storm winds, they suffer disgrace and perish.
The wrath of the Lord – This will be the great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, a repeatedly prophesied judgement by fire, described to us as a CME sunstrike. It will be the Sixth Seal, resulting in the fulfilment of the punishment of all the nations. Habakkuk 3:12, Psalm 2:8-9
