I had a dream last night that I was standing in a funeral home, viewing a casket with a person in it..the person in the casket was "face down." Then, all at once, the person came back to life!
Of course there was shock and amazement but also great joy, for this person who was dead is now alive.
In prayer this morning, the Lord began to reveal about the dream.
I believe as scripture says, in death to self you find life. It takes humility, on your face before God humility, and dying to self for the will of God to come forth. Losing your life for His sake is finding true life. We can do that only one place, the cross. Jesus died so we can have true life, and there is the great exchange.
Really nothing else matters but the will of God. Going through your whole life for your own sake is nothing. AS the word says, narrow is the way and few find it...narrow is the way, and it takes on your face humility to fit in that narrow way. You can't take anything with you! but Jesus.
Thank you Lord for your sacrifice so we can find true life. Help us to look at things in true perspective and not gloss over or glamorize but truly look. Thank you Lord for the narrow way that leads to life! in Jesus name amen.
We are excited about the great effectual doors God is opening for all of us in this hour. To walk into a new door - we have to close some old doors. The Holy Spirit is creating wind drafts of change to close the doors to the past and break open the doors to our future and destiny.
God has given us new strategic keys in Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven."
These keys will open new doors of anointing, blessing and increase in His Kingdom where we have never been before. The old keys only fit the old doors of the past where we have already been. The Lord told me that many people are still trying to build the "New Thing" with old keys and are stuck in traditions of how we have always done things.
Isaiah 43:18-19, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"
We must seek God for fresh revelation and daily manna. This is the time to ask God for spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is currently saying to His Church.
Revelation 3:7-8, "These are the words of Him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name."
God knows that our flesh is weak but our spirit is willing. He has gone before us using His strength to open the doors for us. He is such a gentleman, full of honor and grace to open the doors for His Bride. We don't have to use our strength to open the doors; He has already done that for us. All we have to do is walk through the doors, placing our confidence in His power.
Only the humble in heart will be able to bow down low enough to go through these new doors of opportunity and overcome our adversaries. 1 Corinthians 16:9, "because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me."
There is a new release of Holy Spirit power that has come in His Kingdom to propel us to a higher level. Our faith is being tested in the fire. If we continue to persevere, we will be found to be strong because we chose to believe His Word.
A Group of Eagles
Recently I saw a vision of a group of eagles. Each one was flying in perfect precision and rank in a "V" formation through the heavenlies. They were unified on a mission to bring the harvest into God's Kingdom.
Then I saw the Spirit of the Lord come underneath the team of eagles in the form of a huge, Mighty Eagle. His magnificent wing spread far and outreached that of the team of flying eagles. They could easily rest upon His strong pinions as He carried them.
Suddenly, the Lord quickly accelerated and moved in front of the "V" formation of eagles. I saw Newton's law of lift take place. His law states, "That every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it."
We will continue moving in a straight line at the same level unless there is a greater force that comes to alter our path or patterns. As the breath of the Spirit came, it created an updraft that lifted the whole team to a new level of anointing and breakthrough. The large Eagle continued to soar high above and in front of the team of eagles drawing them higher and higher.
The Scripture Deuteronomy 33:27 came to me: "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, 'Destroy him!'"
The Lord has gone out before us to destroy our enemies so we can soar through the heavenly doors and gates He is opening for us. All we have to do is learn to flow in the draft His Spirit is creating. Then the Holy Spirit gave me several more encouraging Scriptures that go along with this vision.
First, He spoke Psalm 90:16-17, "Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands."
I asked the Lord when He was going to cause His works to appear again. He replied with a question: "When are you going to do them?"
The Lord is getting ready to release some of His "greater works" upon His servants that are walking with Him in humility and have a pure heart. He wants us to trust Him on a new level. Prepare your hearts to receive a new wave of power that will sweep over you.
He also gave me Psalm 91:1-4: "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.'
"Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler."
We must learn to dwell in the secret place of His presence so we remain covered by His wings. This huge Eagle was leading the way and His wings were covering us. The Lord is going to demonstrate His intentions in this hour to bring you into alignment with your destiny and greater purpose.
Set Your Heart to See and Understand
The Lord is encouraging us to listen to the sound of the Holy Spirit's wind of change as His still small voice whispers a new direction. Anticipate the winds of change. Renew yourself in faith and rise up in victory. These God-directed changes will enable you to take a turn for the better and leave past troubles behind. You have been in a preparation process to receive the love of the Lord in a new way.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit..."
The Spirit of the Lord has been searching the deep things of God to reveal them to His friends. Set your heart to see and understand. He will begin to put all the pieces of your life together so you can see the big picture from His prospective.
The time to receive mantles like Katherine Kuhlman, Aimee Semple McPherson, John G. Lake, Jack Coe, William Branham and others has come! Ask the Lord to take you to higher heights to receive these heavenly mantles.
With this accelerated speed we will be able to overtake the plowman and expedite the harvest. Amos 9:13-14, "'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. I will bring back My exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.'"
God is moving to establish His Kingdom in our lives.
August 29, 2008. My Spirit is ready to come upon you. When My Spirit rested upon Jesus, He remained. May it now be said of you when you allow My Spirit to come upon you. As Saul had the Spirit rest upon him, two great things happened. He was changed into a different person and he began to prophesy right along with the seasoned prophets. I say unto you, ask and you shall receive, full measure, pressed down and overflowing. I will come upon you and manifest within you a river of living water gushing forth. Your life and relationships will change because you will be changed. Pray this prayer, “Come upon me Holy Spirit.”
1 Samuel 10:6 “At that time the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you with power, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.” Ras Robinson*
August 29, 2008. The mode of operation I have called those who follow Me to live by is faith. Your lifestyle shows you are consistently doing this. In many instances you have moved on into mountain moving faith. You have brought Me much joy, and I am pleased with you. I want you to live by the talents and gifts I have placed in you, but be sure your character is without question. Do not let your guard down concerning your character. Satan wants to get you in questionable places, with your faith and actions in decline. He is always looking for ways to destroy you. I am for your success, victory and abundance.
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Bev Robinson**
Look into My treasure chest and run your hands through these lovely jewels. Do you know these jewels represent you, My precious people, who will be with Me in eternity? All who see you will know that you are the ones I have exalted. You are the lowly and weak ones who totally depend upon Me for everything.
Oh, how I AM waiting for all of My precious ones! Some have already come to be with Me and others of you are still on earth. It will not be long before the fullness of time and I will gather all of My treasures together, those in heaven and those in earth. For you are My inheritance and I AM yours!
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5 KJV)
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” (1 Peter 2:9 KJV)
“And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJ)
“Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him." Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.” (Malachi 3:16-18 NKJ)

Beloved, My Words through your voice shall go across the land as angels are sent forth when they hear My Word. These are charged with My Presence. Even as thunder breaks forth in suddenlies in the sky above your head, so My angels are loosed at the voice of My Word.
Ps 103:20-22 NKJV
Bless the LORD, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word. Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the LORD, all His works, in all places of His dominion.
Ps 26:7-8 NKJV
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Your wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.
Jer 50:2 NKJV
"Declare among the nations, Proclaim , and set up a standard; Proclaim — do not conceal it.
Isa 61:1-2 NKJV
To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.
WORD STUDY: PROCLAIM
OT PROCLAIM
qara'
OT:7121 qara' (kaw-raw'); a primitive root [rather identical with OT:7122 through the idea of accosting a person met]; to call out to (i.e. properly, address by name, but used in a wide variety of applications):
KJV - bewray [self], that are bidden, call (for, forthself,, upon), cry (unto), (be) famous, guest, invite, mention, (give) name, preach, (make) proclaim (-ation), pronounce, publish, read, renowned, say.
NT PROCLAIM
euaggelizo
NT:2097 euaggelizo (yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo); from NT:2095 and NT:32; to announce good news ("evangelize") especially the gospel:
KJV - declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the gospel).
I have to obey the Lord in what He is telling me. He is speaking to ministers, prophets, pastors, teachers and those who have an assignment from the Lord. He said “When the anointing arrives at that place where I send you, the yoke will instantly be broken from my people.” (Isaiah 10:27) And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Some pastors have not allowed the five fold ministry to function in their churches for many reasons. God gave Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists, and Teachers for the work of the ministry and for the perfecting of the saints. Some pastors have tried to be all in all to everyone. They have been afraid they will lose members and finances. No one should be trying to steal their people in the first place, but they have crippled their congregations from breakthrough.
There are many good and obedient pastors and prophets who have become weary in well doing. (Galatians 6:9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. The Lord is touching you today. He is giving you a brand new anointing. It is the most powerful anointing you have ever known. His anointing is the special empowerment of the Holy Spirit to do the job that you are instructed to do.
He is telling you to go to Him. Spend time in His presence. He is giving you a fresh anointing for a fresh work. This is His prophetic timing for your breakthrough. When you arrive at His destination, the yoke will be broken. He has already gone before you. He is ready to set the captives free.
Prophets, as some of you travel to specific places that God is leading, the Lord is saying, “When you arrive, my anointing will be there to break the yoke off my children.” You are bringing it.
Some of you are waiting for a move of God that you know is about to break forth at your church. The Lord has already called your prophet to come. You have prayed for so long. The Lord is saying when the anointing arrives, it will be done. Get yourself prepared. Pray, fast and seek God. Most of all, EXPECT it. The anointing is coming for you.
A small number of you are in pastoral positions in the Church. To these few, God has not called another Prophet for your breakthrough. You are the prophet that He is calling. You are to stand up flow in His anointing. Prepare the atmosphere for my anointing. When the anointing comes, the yoke will be broken. There will be healing, deliverance, salvation, and more. It will be a more powerful anointing than you have ever known. You are my prophet/pastor. (1 Corinthians 14:25) And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
There are many churches that God is sending His prophets to bring this breakthrough anointing to your people. Seek God. He will be letting you know who you are to call and when. Depend on His ability to get through to you and not your ability to hear from Him.
Prophets! You are not there to take from any church, but to add to that church. Give! You cannot out give God.
Pastors, members, you must prepare for your breakthrough anointing! The anointing of breakthrough is on the way!
In Him,
Prophetess Frances Lloyd
Arise in the Spirit and make your requests known. Bring your concerns to Me and then yield to My leading, for I will certainly show you the way, says the Lord. Refuse to allow yourself to stand still and shake in your boots due to doubt and fear that cause you to stumble in faith. Keep your heart in strong belief that I hear and answer your prayers. Encourage yourself in the Word and stand on that truth.
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Marsha Burns
Beloved, I am the God of freedom. I have already declared freedom in you and over you, but you must receive it and walk by faith in the freedom that I have already purchased for you. Right now you are walking by faith, and that is good. But I want you to know, deep down in your heart, that you will soon walk in the full manifestation of My freedom in every area of your life–for by My blood you are free!
I have set you free from worry, and I have set you free from fear. I am at work in the lives of those around you to break off wrong mindsets concerning you, that you might be free to do all that I have destined you to do. Yes, My beloved, I want you to walk in the freedom of Who I am in the fullest.Live and walk in My freedom, for this is My perfect will for you.

'Israel reaches strategic decision not to let Iran go nuclear'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:
Israel will not agree to allow Iran to achieve nuclear weapons and if the grains start running out in the proverbial egg timer, Jerusalem will not hesitate to take whatever means necessary to prevent Iran from achieving its nuclear goals, the government has recently decided in a special discussion.
According to the Israeli daily Ma'ariv, whether the United States and Western countries will succeed in toppling the ayatollah regime diplomatically, through sanctions, or whether an American strike on Iran will eventually be decided upon, Jerusalem has put preparations for a separate, independent military strike by Israel in high gear.
So far, Israel has not received American authorization to use US-controlled Iraqi airspace, nor has the defense establishment been successful in securing the purchase of advanced US-made warplanes which could facilitate an Israeli strike.
The Americans have offered Israel permission to use a global early warning radar system, implying that the US is pushing Israel to settle for defensive measures only.
RELATED
Survey: Most Americans may back strike on Iran
Because of Israel's lack of strategic depth, Jerusalem has consistently warned over the past years it will not settle for a 'wait and see' approach and retaliate in case of attack, but rather use preemption to prevent any risk of being hit in the first place.
Ephraim Sneh a veteran Labor MK which has left the party recently, has sent a document to both US presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama. The eight-point document states that "there is no government in Jerusalem that would ever reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran. When it is clear Iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, an Israeli military strike to prevent this will be seriously considered."
According to Ma'ariv, Sneh offered the two candidates the "sane, cheap and the only option that does not necessitate bloodshed." To prevent Iran's nuclear aspirations, Sneh wrote, "real" sanctions applied in concert by the US and Europe is necessary. A total embargo in spare parts for the oil industry and a total boycott of Iranian banks will topple, within a short time, the regime which is already pressured by a sloping economy and would be toppled by the Iranian people if they would have outside assistance.
The window of opportunity Sneh suggests is a year and a half to two years, until 2010.
Sneh also visited Switzerland and Austria last week in an attempt to lobby those two states. Both countries have announced massive long-term investments in Iranian gas and oil fields for the next decade.
"Talk of the Jewish Holocaust and Israel's security doesn't impress these guys," Sneh said wryly.
Hearing his hosts speak of their future investments, Sneh replied quietly "it's a shame, because Ido will light all this up." He was referring to Maj. Gen. Ido Nehushtan, the recently appointed commander of the Israeli Air Force and the man most likely to be the one to orchestrate Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, should this become the necessity.
"Investing in Iran in 2008," Sneh told his Austrian hosts, "is like investing in Krups Steelworks in 1938, it's a high risk investment." The Austrians, according to Sneh, turned pale.
In related news, Israel Radio reported that Iran has finished installing an additional 4,000 centrifuges in the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. The Islamic Republic also announced it will install an additional 3,000 centrifuges in coming months.
The pan-Arabic Al Kuds al Arabi reported Friday that Iran has equipped Hizbullah with longer range missiles than those it had before the Second Lebanon War and also improved the terror group's targeting capabilities.
QUOTE
According to the report, which The Jerusalem Post could not verify independently, Hizbullah would begin a massive rocket onslaught on targets reaching deep into Israel's civilian underbelly in case the Jewish State would launch an attack on Iran.

Then they will surely be crushed by Israels response! This next war will be NOTHING like the last war with Hezbollah.

If that happens then Isaiah 17 could be next. Israel has already said once before that Damascus Syria will be attacked when Hezbollah launches its missiles, even if Hezbollah only attacks from Lebanese territory.

What is the likelyhood that the US or Israel will hit Iran
I think very high. Seems like some time will go by then sudden coordinated attack will take place. Israel and US WILL NOT ALLOW Iran to be Nuclear capable. We better not or God help all of us.
I still have a feeling that something will happen to Iran, not devastation but crippled some what. If they continued, untouched, and developed or acquired a nuke, they would not even let Russia or anyone else attempt to destroy Israel. They would saver in the moment of destroying Israel themselves. Crazy man could also take all the credit, and claim he is ushering in his "well-dweller". What keeps coming to mind is Gods Word. In Ezekiel 38 God does not mention Persia until He lumps them in with others in verse 5.
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
If Persia was strong, wouldn’t God mention them at the beginning, co-equal with Russia, instead of later co-equals with everyone else? God does not indicate they are in the lead in any way, but followers with everyone else.
You may well be right. There has been so much saber rattling and so many good times and excuses to do it and everybody has passed. Every day of delay results in Iran having their defenses better integrated and more defenses "on line" the job gets harder.
Then add the political instability of both us and Israel...my gut says we are gonna fool ourselves and keep making excuses as to why we can wait until its too late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Restrainer(Holy Spirit) is still with us to allow,such nuclear warfare to happen.
He prevents the fruition of evil to its worst(in nuclear warfare,no man will be alive).
Maybe the next thing to watch at this point is the rapture.
Because from what i have read in one of the articles is.In this stand-off(everybody waiting for the next move of israel).Her option is to do a samsonian suicide,(according to the article,israel has the best nuclear warfare,which the sorrounding ME countries fear)in desperateness to defend herself(which the Lord will prevent).Thus the time for the rise of the PEACE maker/breaker,will happen perhaps.Which we all know will give way to the building of the temple for three and a half years.And because israel has peace(artificial)they will be lowering down thier armaments because of the protection of the AC(They thought to be thier messaiah).Then comes the end of the three and a half years,where in the AC was revealed to the israelites as false messiah.Then russia and the rest of the ME will take advantage of the situation to battle israel(armageddon).Where in Jesus will return the second time to save Israel.
Only my rationalization.Not to be taken seriously.
I fear for the nuclear war to happen,because i know that that includes all of the world to be affected.
"Her option is to do a samsonian suicide" Actually, Israel does have a plan referred to as the "Samson Option".
as to why Ezeikel 38 occurs before the Trib, not Mid-Trib or during the Trib:
Mid Trib- the Israeli's have to start to run for their lives immediately after the mid point, so they cant spend seven months burying their own dead, let alone the dead of the Russian invasion forces.
Ezekiel 39:12-13
12. " 'For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13. All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I am glorified will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign LORD.
Also, being on the run, they don’t have time to gather seven years worth of weapons, why would they be burning weapons when they need them for protection.
End of Trib
Israel is involved in a life or death struggle against the Antichrist, and would not be living peacefully.
No Israeli is safe until just after the end of the Tribulation
Again, Israelis are fleeing for their lives, no time to bury the dead.
The birds, not Israel, clean up the bodies at the end of the Tribulation
(Rev:17)
After Ezekiel 38, Israel will then have witnessed the Miracle of God. They will be ripe and ready for their Messiah. They will be ready to sign a peace agreement, tired of war. Enter AC, whom they will believe to be the Messiah, as he will bring a peace, but a false peace. The Tribulation begins the moment the peace agreement is signed.
Israel is aware that if they attack Iran, they will most likely be attacked on other different fronts also. JMHO
Israel attacks Iran - but doesn’t devastate Iran- Israel is attacked on other
fronts
Isaiah 17:1 Damascus gets destroyed
Isaiah 17:2 Jordan drawn in to the battle - Israel recovers its ancient land
from Jordan (also Jordan destruction Jeremiah:49 1-2) (Israel flees to Jordan in
Revelation 12)
Isaiah 17:3 Israel destroys the PA in the Westbank
Isaiah 17 1-3 occurs consecutively – at the same time.
When the smoke clears, Israel has regained all of her ancient land from Jordan, and her immediate enemies around her have been destroyed, and Israel feels "safe" may be even a brief pseudo peace agreement.
Russia now has the "hook" in its jaw firmly planted, to come against Israel.
Next event, Ezekiel 38

Thank you for this summary!
Your more than welcome, its my privelage. Just some footnotes:
Aroer is a region on the northern bank of the Arnon River in what is today Jordan. In Moses day, it marked the southern boundary of the territory given to the two and a half tribes who received their land inheritance on the east side of the Jordan River. Aroer was in the territory of Reuben. There was another Aroer in the territory of Gad, near Rabbah. Rabbah is today called Amman, capital of Jordan.
Isaiah 17:2
2.The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
“The cities of Aroer are forsaken “ they are gone. The "flocks that will lie down " in safety - with Damascus, Amman, and the PA gone, they, "the flocks" - the Israeli's, will feel "safe", in their reclaimed ancient land once more."none shall make them afraid", because they're gone!
The land of the tribe of Ephraim sits in the middle of the "West Bank". The "fortresses"" in Isaiah 17 verse 3 "shall cease"
Isaiah 17:3
3.The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
The final statement " and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts", is a strong statement of the judgment against Syria. Isaiah was writing during the time that the Assyrians had devastated the northern 10 Tribes of Israel. Perhaps Isaiah is saying that Syria will experience the same.
God Bless
I have a theory:
I believe that Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities this fall...possibly with low-yield bunker-buster nukes.
In turn, Iran wil retalliate (sp?) with vollies of scud-type missile attacks against Israeli urban centers and shipping in the Strait.
Also, Iran will unleash Hezbollah, Hamas, and the rest of the terrorist orgs under there control to attack Isreal.
Israel's response to this escalation will be large scale conventional bombing campaign against military targets in Lebanon and Syria.
Hezbollah will respond with a chemical/biological attack against civilians in Tel Aviv or Haifa, causing mass Isreali casualties.
As Israel has stated, they will respond to such an attack with nuclear weapons. Damascus, Beruit, and possibly even Tehran will be destroyed via the IDF's nuclear attack.
It's also possible that there will be a US/Russian exchange mixed in..not necessarially nuclear, but that's a possibility.
A temporary cease-fire will be established by a third party (the UN or France or England), but will be broken when Russia and the rest of the Gog/Magog players attempt to destroy Israel....we all know what happens then...
Hopefully we'll all be watching this not on CNN, but from the heavens!
I couldn't of said this better myself.

I think Israel will attack Iran's nuclear program just enough to set it back 2-5 years and there might be some limited exchange between Iran and Israel but nothing too big and i'll go out on a limb and say the US economy won't collapse, Iraq will become a peaceful democracy, Babylon will be rebuilt, the US will be praised by the world community and everything will seem wonderful and happy. Then the rapture will occur simultaneously with Gog/Magog and the US will be crippled by this.
That is what I would predict if I had to predict the future.
I have NO Idea.......
Israel cant demolish Iran because they join the attack w/ Gog/Magog
Isreal is only demolishing irans nukes not them. Iran is destroyed by God in the Gog/magog war.
If, huge IF, Israel and/or the US goes after Iran's nukes I think they will go after the leadership too. They and the Iranian people want regime change in Iran.
Her option is to do a samsonian suicide,(according to the article,israel has the best nuclear warfare,which the sorrounding ME countries fear)in desperateness to defend herself(which the Lord will prevent).
The Restrainer(Holy Spirit) is still with us to allow,such nuclear warfare to happen.
He prevents the fruition of evil to its worst(in nuclear warfare,no man will be alive).
Maybe the next thing to watch at this point is the rapture.
Because from what i have read in one of the articles here in rr is.In this stand-off(everybody waiting for the next move of israel).Her option is to do a samsonian suicide,(according to the article,israel has the best nuclear warfare,which the sorrounding ME countries fear)in desperateness to defend herself(which the Lord will prevent).Thus the time for the rise of the PEACE maker/breaker,will happen perhaps.Which we all know will give way to the building of the temple for three and a half years.And because israel has peace(artificial)they will be lowering down thier armaments because of the protection of the AC(They thought to be thier messaiah).Then comes the end of the three and a half years,where in the AC was revealed to the israelites as false messiah.Then russia and the rest of the ME will take advantage of the situation to battle israel(armageddon).Where in Jesus will return the second time to save Israel.
Only my rationalization.Not to be taken seriously.
I fear for the nuclear war to happen,because i know that that includes all of the world to be affected.
I'm getting an uneasy feeling that America pretty much abandons Israel to its fate.
I'm confident if Obama gets into presidency, he would either betray or abandon Israel. And this may well by why America isn't mentioned as defending Israel. The bible mentions the ships of Tarshish being able to cause Gog to halter. That I firmly believe is the US navy ships, no other nation on earth could cause Gog to faulter as described.
But the bible does not mention the US actualy aiding Israel, simply using diplomatic words against Russia.
Clearly something has to break and cause the "sudden destruction", and the 1/3 of the city captured. And a lack of US support would surely embolden the middle east to attack with the huge numbers described in the bible. A conventional attack, not an exchange at range, the city does get occupied by the horde.

There is another option as to why the U.S. isnt involved, and thats because the Rapture happens!

I hope so....

In which case, what would happen?
Would the president (whoever it may be) stand by the age old support of Israel still? Or would it turn against Israel as the bible seems to suggest.

Whom ever the President would be would have no world power, and would submit to the AC. The Christians are gone, there would be panic and confusion.
My take on it:
Psa. 83
Isa. 17
Eze. 38-39
Revelation
I agree and stated this before in another thread. Things will happen in that order.

'Israel reaches strategic decision not to let Iran go nuclear'
Israel will not agree to allow Iran to achieve nuclear weapons and if the grains start running out in the proverbial egg timer, Jerusalem will not hesitate to take whatever means necessary to prevent Iran from achieving its nuclear goals, the government has recently decided in a special discussion. According to the Israeli daily Ma'ariv, whether the United States and Western countries will succeed in toppling the ayatollah regime diplomatically, through sanctions, or whether an American strike on Iran will eventually be decided upon, Jerusalem has put preparations for a separate, independent military strike by Israel in high gear.
