Future War with Iran?

Reuters reports that, according to the German foreign minister, “If the United States terminates the Iran nuclear deal or reimposes sanctions on Tehran it could result in Iran developing nuclear weapons and raise the danger of war close to Europe” and that such a move “would give Iranian hardliners, who are against negotiations with the West, the upper hand” (October 14, 2017). The foreign minister also noted that the potential acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran could cause a nuclear arms race in the region.

With the technological advances in the 21st century, it is sobering to consider the possibilities of a nuclear war involving Iran or North Korea. Yet, students of Bible prophecy should not be surprised. God warned long ago that the end of the age would bring wars and rumors of wars that will threaten the future of human civilization (Matthew 24:6, 22) by causing mass devastation on the earth before Christ returns and enforces world peace (Revelation 6:6-8).
