Eyes on Iran - Part I

There is a prophetic scene developing in the Middle East. I read daily accounts of Iran pursuing nuclear technology, each day moving closer to the possibility of nuclear warheads being available to a member of the Axis of Evil. President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claims that Iran is simply pursuing a means to clean electricity for his country as an alternative to other fuels; however, the leaders of Iran have called for the annihilation of Israel. Russian and China are 2 of the 5 permanent veto-wielding members of the United Nations Security Council. The other 3 are France, United Kingdom, and the United States. If a resolution is submitted to the Security Council and vetoed by any one or more of these 5 countries, the resolution fails. The United States and other European countries have called for increased economic sanctions against Iran to inhibit their ability to proceed with nuclear developments; however, Reuters informed today that China dropped itself from a meeting to discuss tougher sanctions on Iran. Russia, which has strong economic and military ties to Iran, also opposes economic sanctions - stating that further diplomatic meetings may resolve the tension the West has with Iran.
May I remind you that we are seeing the possible development of prophetic events foretold thousands of years ago through the prophet Ezekiel. The Bible tells us that Gog and Magog will bring an attack against Israel. When will this occur? Will we know who is involved? Stay tuned to the Conservative Cafe blog for more insight!
