So we are just a couple days into 2020, but if the first two days are any indication of what lies ahead, we had better buckle up. Since the start of the new year and decade, here are some things that have already taken place: 1) Netanyahu asks Knesset for immunity from prosecution in a risky bid to better position himself to stay in power in the coming third election in March. 2) Jordan confirmed that they have started receiving natural gas from Israel. 3) Deliveries of natural gas were supposed to begin from Israel to Egypt on Jan 1 4) Netanyahu went to Greece to sign a natural gas deal on Thursday between Israel, Cyprus and Greece to build an underwater Mediterranean pipeline, which is sure to make Erdogan and Putin just giddy. Can you say hook? 5) The US assassinated Iran's top military general, Qassem Soleimani, greatly increasing the volatility of an already volatile Middle East powder keg. Quite an eventful couple of days, don't you think? It’s truly amazing, the times we live in. I remember back a few decades ago when any one event seemed so significant and now it seems we read daily of significant events taking place. IIRC, Jordan and Egypt are not involved in the War of Gog and Magog. Interesting that they are getting natural gas from Israel and likely at a pretty reasonable price. Definitely can see the potential pipeline being thr hook in the jaws. Rocket lands near U.S. embassy in Baghdad as Soleimani funeral kicks off "According to Lebanese news channel al-Mayadeen, Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah Brigades warned the Iraqi security forces to be at least 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) away from all American bases starting Sunday evening." Looks like Iraq is the battleground between US and Iran for now. They have launched attack on US bases in Iraq. I wonder how shall this conflict lead to the three shepherds war in Zechariah 11? Per Sean Osborne at Eschatology Today ... here is his take on what’s happening and where he thinks its leading to ... :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Why did Soleimani and his entourage fly into Iraq last night? A) To lead a coup d'etat against the pro-American government of Iraq. B) To double down on the attempt to seize the US Embassy. C) US Diplomats and Embassy security forces were to be taken and held as hostages until all US military forces were withdrawn. D) Kata'ib Hezbollah was to be the lead coup d'etat and Embassy siege force. This plan was discovered by Israeli intel. US military force ended it swiftly. January 3, 2020 at 10:52 AM We are watching the intro to Jeremiah 49:34-39 on our TV screens in real-time. Jeremiah prophesied saying the Lord would send the sword after them. Is the US that sword, or is a coalition of nations the sword? How about the Iranian people being that sword? Taking out Khamenei is not what our objective is or should be. That's for God to determine. Someone asked His response - Fair Use -
Sean, do you think we might see an IDF strike on the Bushehr Nuclear Plant?
Preemptive strikes are all but certain on Iran's underground nuclear weapons sites IMHO. However, the same effect is possible via major earthquakes in the ancient Elamite region of Iran. The same is true for the Iranian underground missile complexes.
