That moderation will continue indefinitely.<br /><br />However, in the moderation process there was one sentence which passes muster for posting:<br /><br />"<i>Sean, your right, Israel does not have 8 months to move logistics and personnel in place to protect the Petroleum Shiekdoms.</i>"<br /><br />This is about as close as I think this 'Anonymous' individual is capable of approaching a confirmation of the prophetic alliance that has long been evident between "<i><b>Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all the young lions thereof...</b></i>" that is the centerpiece of the Ezekiel 38:13 prophecy.<br /><br />This prophetic alliance has been in real-world evidence ever since the "Tanker War" that erupted in the Persian Gulf during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. Once again knowing or learning recent history provides a basis for understanding the very basis for the inerrant accuracy of the Ezekiel 38:13 prophecy.<br /><br />It is no great mystery that the safe transit of petroleum supertankers from Sunni nations (primarily from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar) of the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz were protected by "<i>Tarshish and all the young lions thereof</i>" after the Iraqi airstrikes on the Kharg Island oil terminal in 1984. <br /><br />The Iraqi airstrike was intended to force Iran to attempt a closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all Sunni commercial oil traffic and thereby bring the US and other western nations into the war on Iraq's side at a time when the war was not going in Iraq's favor.<br /><br />The Iranian counter-invasion of Iraq landlocked Iraqi oil shipments and made Kuwait indispensable to Saddam's ability to sell his oil. This was the basis for Saddam's invasion and seizure of Kuwait exactly two years after the August 1988 conclusion of the Iran-Iraq War in in August 1990. The US-led Coalition of Nations in Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm resulted, which eventually led to the second US-led Coalition war against Iraq known as Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. <br /><br />This is one of the reasons I see Jeremiah 49:34-39 as another future US-led Coalition war against a nuclear-armed Iran, as a proactive defense of the "Sheba and Dedan" allies against Iranian nuclear hegemony in the oil-rich Gulf.<br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-91995099418123396502014-04-27T06:47:22.520-04:002014-04-27T06:47:22.520-04:00Ken,

However, the prophecy from Jesus' own lips tells us that the next strong leader will be the one who comes in his own name and not for our need.

The problem however, is this, we have yet to be reduced to a 3rd rate power and isn't the scenario described in Ezekiel a precise description of us today? I would submit that the reason we only offer a half hearted, toothless protest is because sadly under the current administration we simply don't care about our longstanding, trusted ally Israel.hartdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554733830775640375noreply@blogger.com
