Well, he may also be a lunatic, but have you ever known a politician who didn't love to see his name in a newspaper?

And yes, I had a bad feeling about Y2K.

I can honestly say I didn't, but at that point in time I wasn't an active Christian. But I can see what you are saying, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what unfolds.

Hey there,your assessment leaves out Isreal in its permutations.There is the wild card so to speak as they will not be idle if Iran gets much closer to wmd.The US may be willing to supply the hardware,but they are in a bad spot to actually attack iran.Both politically,and militarily.
Isreal can hardly be expected not to take unilateral action militarily in the near future.If the new air defense package the russians have sold iran is deemed sufficient to foil such an air raid by IDF.
The scenario is a near duplicate of the Iraq raid on Osirak.The major differences in the amount of sites and the political climate aside.The sheer threat to Isreals survival is too great to preclude their sitting on their hands while ANY arab nation arms itself with WMD.(nuclear)Specially a radical one.
The variables are inumerable,but the constant remains,Isreal will do whatever it takes to survive.They have shown that they are willing to be the agressor several times in the past,when they felt that they had no other option.
Consider this as well.....the US and IDF,combined in arms may well be the most potent military force that could be brought to bear on the whole region.......though just how they may end up both engaged at the same time over there is not clear.......
I am sure that they would be very hard for any other combination of countries in the region to match.Support for the Islamic alliance would probably be too late in showing up to make a large difference in the out come of a major engagement.
Think of the months it took for the forces to amass before the gulf 1 gulf 2 and iraqi campaign.Isreal.and the US are there in force now on the ground.Their weapons systems are unparallelled by most radical muslim arms.It would be likely that if security of Isreal is threatened through widening of the war in some unforseen manor,that they would not hesitate to jump into the fray.This all may sound far fetched,but the build up to these situations may not be a long one if any one of hundreds of factors changes drastically.
Iran could very well have a nuclear weapon or two up its sleeve right now.It is apossibility that i have mentioned in several posts,and should not be discounted.......
Iran got much of its nuclear start from a rouge Paki scientist of radical pursuasion.
He had motive and opportunity to supply them as well as the availability of russian nukes that are missing .Irans latest missle Sahib3 sic. i believ is reported to be nuclear capable.
The potential for widening the war is crucial to the situation.When and if we hear more and vehement denounciations of either Iran,Or Syria,i believe we can expect it.
If either situation occurs,it will be a wide open ball game .
There is no doubt in my mind that Isreal will be proactive in dealing with the Iranian nukes as soon as they are positive that the Iranis are proceeding with enrichment,aand they have a reasonable chance of success.(success in this case may even be the setting back of their nuclear program for a certain time period.YRS)
What other crucial detail have i missed?

good eve,
or was she,lol

just the fact man, you have added toomuch literalism to your opinion and you are now in that zone of i think this and can prove it with more literal words from other texts.

most of you again here trying to understand whether the iran contra affair lol will trigger the russian assistence to provke the next war of the worlds -----oouch----sounds like the hail may be falling soon.

you know guys prophecy is beautiful in that it leaves room for the imagination to guess what God will do next. But you know what?, leave God alone and look into yourselves, get right in Him and trust in Him and all the God guessing will come to a dull roar and you will e able to sit back and enjoy the show and just be as you are, one with Him, in Him as He unfolds the mystery.

you know this is His movie, His stage, He is the producer, and director and sets up the entire show, including all the lights and the stars and all actors accordingly.

First try to see Him and as He has set up the beginning stages of the end times, start there and all the second part of the week will unfold on a timely basis. God will not fail you are me and will comfort us in His embrace and make all things new and the joys of singing the songs of Moses and the increase, that is prosperity of the His promise will be as it is written.

so while trying to guess these Irans, iraqs, russian allies and Indians on line with pakistans and the americans all too set in with the Israelites, to defend them from the muslim suiciders xyz and abc, just keep in mind that all the nations are lined up and the AC is allready actively working in a force to face the lamb in a different battle that they will loose, and the virgin daughters of israel will win ie the bride, but don't loose site of the continuing madness the world will be thrown in as all goes on outside of the walled village of peace.

sometimes you need to just see what is, as just that, forces of evil that are overseen by God as it is written several times over in the OT.

think peace in yourself and find it there first.

once you see peace within then peace without is possible.
the evil world tries to make peace from without, they can never succeed.

the same for you, trying to measure the world from without, not possible, trying to superimpose places and writings from the past and incorporate them geographically today is not 100% possible.

the symbolism, and figures of speech coupled with the places that have changed names and so on will not be exactly the same.

Hi

I have a simple Question.

Why do we have the right to have nuclear Technology and not other countries.

On what grounds do we claim the right to deny this technology to others who wish to develop it.
There are two kinds of nuclear plants. One that makes material that can be used in a bomb. The other does not. Which one did they make? And for what reason? Hmm....

And yes, I had a bad feeling about Y2K.
As for Y2K, the year 2000 was NOT the beginning of the third millenium. The modern calendar began with year 1 (and not 0) so the first year of the 21st century was 2001.

In 2001, the lower Euphrates was dry as predicted by many, and the tragic events of 9/11 occured as i predicted and others. IMO, 9/11 marks the beginning of the Battle of that great day of God Almighty (also called the Battle of Ar Mageddon). It has already spread from Afghanistan to Iraq; and it looks like it will soon spread to Iran and ultimately spred to Israel. Another evil capital east of the Euphrates is Pyong Yang.

So it appears that the Great Day of God Almighty is indeed the 3rd millenium AD as was predicted by many dispensationalists.

Hi dvd_holc

You are missing the point what gives us the right to say only we can have nukes?

Its not like we can claim so moral High ground and say we would never use them on civilian populations. I do not need to remind you we are in fact the only country that has used them on civilians and done so twice. We have made it clear we will use them on whoever we feel is a threat to our security at whatever time we feel is appropriate.

Why do they not have the same right. Who are we to dictate what a country may and may not develop to defend themselves.

As I have shown in other posts in this thread it is clear to anyone that has paid attention that if you have nukes we will not invade you if you don't we will do it when ever we feel like it regardless of what theUN and the rest of the world thinks.

.
There is the point. It is not for defense. It is a offensive weapon. They have lived without it now for so long. They don't need it. Who is the main threat to them that they need a nuke? We won't use a nuke on them. Besides the point of their allies having nukes (Russia and Pak.). It is clear from their commits they don't want it for their own safety.

Secondly, why should those who have it stop those from don't? Oh let me see...Iran will multiple nukes...gives one to a terrorist. I guess that is not big enough.

Those on top always have the big guns. If they don't have them then someone else will have them. It is more of a statis quo...But lets say Hitler had one or more...he would not have waited a sec from using them to get what he wanted. The people who are trying to get them are also trying to get them as a stepping stone to get what they want.

We are the main threat in their eyes. We invaded both countries on either side of them. We invaded Iraq even when they said over and over they had no nukes that they did not even have a program.

Have they ever said they are even developing Nukes....NO..................Have they said they will use Nukes on anyone if they had them .........NO................

Just because you enrich uranium does not mean you are developing a nuke. it just means you do not want to have to buy it that way. And even if they do plan to build a nuke do you reallythink they would use it knowing fullwell there would not be one single Iranian left alive if they did. IT IS CALLED MAD

You are still missing the point what gives anyone the right to say OH we can have nukes and you can not. Either everyone is allowed to have them or no one is allowed to have them anything else is Hypocracy.

If they had no intentions of making a bomb they did not need have any desire to make that particular plant. Second, of course they denied it. Third, do you really think their government has any true concern for their people? Nope. They care about their own desires for power and money. If they lose their power they will do all that they can to destroy what remains. And if you have not missed it already:

They want their holy war.

Hummmm are we talking about Iran or America...................the reality is that comment is true about all governments.

lets see who has caused more pain and suffering for Iran’s people Iranians or Us.

We overthrew their elected government ......................put in one of the Worst dictators in the History of the World....who then tortured and murdered the people en masse.

We they revolted and threw him out we paid Iraq billion to invade them ......then we betrayed Iraq and sold weapons to the Iranians weapons that killed ten of thousands of iraqis........................then when the Iraqis shot missiles at us we invaded them.

IN ALL OF THIS IRAN never attacked another country never left its own soil never did anything but defend itself from us and our greedy self righteous self serving politicians.


Everything I have said is 100% true …………I know it is hard to face the Truth but it is there for all to see…………….Do the Iranians have reason to fear us ………………….. you bet they do………if they had nukes would we invade them……………….. NOT ON YOUR LIFE………………..if they don’t get Nukes will we invade them YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR WE WILL.

Is that your thing, 100% true all the time? Oh pride...and don't forget some of what you said is subjective.

Anyway, I agree about all governments...part. But you are not right about the worst dicator in the history of the world. I am sorry but how many did he kill? How was he worst than Hitler, Caesars, and all the other dicator

Are you from Iran? You have such limited arrangement of facts that is striking. Do you have any idea of the public opinion of Iran? Do you not know there are many people in Iran right now who want a more open life than what the last decades have given them...Do you not know that many people feel betrayed that the extreme people of Iran destroy their freedoms? As I have know a person who has lived in the area for many years, I do have a little more understanding than what you credit me to have.

But for you to act like that America is the worst thing for them...You have your persumptions. And, it is a know fact that Iran has back terrorist and is opening wanting to wipe Isreal off the map it just so happens right now they want a particular people to have it because it backs their cause as a rallying point.

You are confused on many things.

Do you know that 50% of America feels the exact same way...they are sick and tired of religous fanatics trying to take over everything and sucumvent the constitution and laws of the land.

The reality is the vast majority of Iran supports the government. More then
Americans support the current American government.

They are not my assumptions ...................they are what the Iranians have said. And given our History with them I would say they have good reason to feel that way.

No they want the Palestinians to have it because that is who it belonged to for thousands of years before we decided to give it to someone else. Why because we felt bad we had not helped them when Other Europeans wanted to wipe them out. But that is not the point here.

You have avoided my point from the beginning.

What gives anyone the right to say we can have this weapon and you can not.

In addition can you please name a government that Iran has overthrown or Invaded.

Tell me if it is 100% true then tell me what where the aims and intentions of Iran and USA where as the leaders of the governments, public, and individuals so that the full 100% of the true might be known. Until then how do you claim it is 100% true. You report on but a partial truth to begin with.
