What does it do or launch? [addressed below] Persia (Iran 1935-Muslim) and the Medes history relating to Israel is very interesting. Cyrus and Darius were very favorable to Israel, as was the last Shaw of Iran. In my biblical interpretation, I surmise Iran’s near future is bleak, but its national future is bright. Elam, one-sixth of modern-day SW Iran, will suffer a tremendous humanitarian crisis and flee for their lives. This area is where most of Iran’s nuclear facilities and storage are located (Bushehr area). If I were to gander a guess, the description sounds like nuclear fallout to me, and they will flee to every nation on earth. As we see for the first time, instead of Iran using their proxies to attack Israel, they directly sent missiles and drones themselves. If Israel is serious about “Never Again,” they will have to eventually deal with the head of the snake instead of the symptoms. Whether the Lord Himself sends an earthquake or the IDF attacks Elam, it will become desolate. Then, there is the Ezekiel 38-39 invasion, where Persia is a central player. Not only are 5/6 of Iran’s invading force going to be obliterated, but the Lord will also deal with their home country. I suspect these two events are going to crush Allah and Islam. According to all reputable reports I have seen, Iranian citizens are receiving visions and dreams, and many are turning to Christianity under the penalty of death. 35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, The chief of their might. 36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And will scatter them toward all those winds; And there shall be no nation Whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, And before them that seek their life: And I will bring evil upon them, Even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; And I will send the sword after them, Till I have consumed them: 38 And I will set my throne in Elam, And will destroy from thence the king and the princes, Saith the Lord. 39 But it shall come to pass xin the latter days, That I will bring again the captivity of Elam, Saith the Lord. “And I will set my throne in Elam.” (Persia-Iran) We know Jesus’s throne will be in Jerusalem, so what does this mean? I take it Iran will become followers of Christ, a Christian nation, casting off Allah, the false god. What do you think? In light of October 7, 2023, and the escalations, could we say Jerusalem is becoming a cup of trembling? I do not think this declared war will be protracted (cease-fire), to allow Israel’s enemies time to rearm, supply, and strategize. With all these global public protests in support of the barbarians HAMAS, 95% of UN Resolutions against Israel, and so on, are we seeing the world rapidly turning against Israel? And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:3) The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He did not rescind this promise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting perspective; I have not thought about this matter in such a way.

Or perhaps don't look is the better thing, just know there is nothing left for the imagining. Mankind is not falling further, what is happening is more a "dead cat bounce".

The largest of the projectiles featured is Fattah. Per WIKI it is; "Fattah is an Iranian hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in 2023. It is Iran's first hypersonic ballistic missile. According to Iran, its high maneuverability and speed allows it to defeat all missile defence systems. Its name, meaning "conqueror" or "bringer of victory", "victor" in Arabic, is in reference to Al-Fattāḥ, was selected by the Supreme Leader of Iran. Some ballistic missiles already reach hypersonic speeds, Fattah however belongs to a new class of weapon that only a limited ranks of countries possesses." There was commentary in the newspaper about the imagery, but it was yesterday's Times of Israel newspaper and is gone now. Sorry I failed to keep that portion of the article. Didn't realize I had no access to past editions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a USA resident I cannot imagine living under billboards with such messaging. Can't even begin to comprehend how that would favorably influence anyone. But obvoiusly it must. Somehow the lyrics of a Paul Simon tune are coming rumbling into my mind. "A man walks down the street It's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the third world Maybe it's his first time around He doesn't speak the language He holds no currency He is a foreign man He is surrounded by the sound, "... "It's a cartoon grave yard" begins to make sense. It's not just Iran....it's everywhere. NOBODY wants peace. EVERYBODY wants war....EVERYBODY. No talk is heard promoting peace. The attitude everywhere is that war is permissible if its kept on simmer level. There is nothing good about a crock-pot war. No nation that continues in everlasting war can long survive - that include the United States. We are all of us headed toward a massive global debacle at top speed. It is time to REPENT and seek peace with God while time allows. A great many of us may soon be standing in front of Him. that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

(Isaiah 6:9-10) While I am tempted to agree, I find exception in at least one strong voice in America ( USA). It is now a political voice, that of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who is seeking a place on every ballot at every State of theUnion of United States, including petition signatures gathering occurring right now at Florida. I won't do a commercial for RFK Jr. here, but simply want to share there is a voice one that like His uncle and father both knew how to negotiate and the why of doing so, and also recognized the excellent mindset of Eisenhower who had warned of the military industrial complex with it's might. One can find details at Kennedy24. Well I guess that did become a bit of a commercial, sorry bout that. But it does refute and for me give hope too that there are some at least one that is not like all the rest of the pack, pack of jackels- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Isaiah 6:9-10) From my reading of early 20th century history, the same mindset existed prior to the first world war. Anarchists, tension and a relaxed approach to diplomacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
