Iran Threatens Israel Again

“Iran reportedly test-fired two ballistic missiles Wednesday with the phrase ‘Israel must be wiped out’ written on them, a show of force by the Islamic Republic as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden visited Israel” (Time, March 9, 2016). A leader in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard stated, “The 2,000-kilometer (1,240-mile) range of our missiles is to confront the Zionist regime… Israel is surrounded by Islamic countries and it will not last long in a war. It will collapse even before being hit by these missiles” (ibid.). All this is happening while the U.S.-brokered nuclear deal is apparently underway with Iran.

As turmoil continues to grow in the volatile Middle East, Bible prophecy reveals that Jerusalem will be a “cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples… a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut into pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it” (Zechariah 12:2). However, Bible prophecy also reveals that Iran will not destroy Israel and particularly Jerusalem with missiles. Instead, look for a German-led European “beast” power and even the Catholic Church to become deeply involved in protecting and administering the Holy Land in the years to come!
