Iran is closer than ever to developing nuclear weapons and the world continues to snooze through it. Read the following from the a Jewish watchdog organization that obtained files revealing the nuclear progress being made.
DEBKAfile reports that the documents came from materials contained in a laptop stolen from one of the heads of Iran’s nuclear program in Tehran in late 2006 by Iranian dissidents. It was passed to the CIA. Despite this evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program, sixteen US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, combined last year to announce this program was suspended in 2003.
Even the nuclear watchdog’s director Mohammed ElBaradei, who often meets the Iranians halfway, has concluded that Iran’s nuclear activities are of “serious concern” and require “substantial explanations.” which Tehran has refused to offer.
His latest report describes Iran’s installation of new IR-2 and IR-3 centrifuges for enriching uranium at the Natanz site as “significant” yet not communicated to his agency. IAEA inspectors on a visit in April were denied access to the sites where the centrifuges are manufactured and the scientists involved. Some, the report states, were produced by Iran’s “military” (a reference to the Revolutionary Guards corps which is in charge of Iran’s nuclear weapons industry).
An official connected to the watchdog disclosed that since December, the Iranians have processed close to 150 kilograms, double the amount produced in the same period 18 months ago.
Image what would happen should Iran break through to having its own nuclear arsenal.
We are not looking at a nation desiring to project itself onto the world stage simply to be a partner in power. Rather, Iran is led by men who are bent on nothing less than destroying Israel and its one remaining ally. Then, if that is not enough, it desires to take the lead in forcibly spreading Islam around the globe. If Iran is unable to accomplish that mission by threat, it will do so by catastrophic means. Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinijad is rabid in his intent to fulfill his destiny: to bring back the hidden 12th Imam--the infamous Mahdi. He will do it by evangelism (and I use that word lightly) or by chaos.
Further, it was widely reported today that the Sudan (ancient Cush in the Book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39) has signed a military cooperative agreement with Iran in order to upgrade its equipment and train the 120,000 man standing army. Iran's intent is to bypass the oil-drunk Saudis and create another threat to Israel from the region of the Red Sea. How interesting that the alignments of nations mentioned in Ezekiel is happening before our sleepy eyes. Even Egypt is alarmed at this particular development. What does it say to the alert believer in Jesus? I believe the warnings are being clearly sounded by events, if not by watchmen shouting from the walls.
Should we wring our hands in fear? Absolutely not! This is the hour when we must increase our understanding of the times and see that the greatest opportunities for sharing the Prince of Peace with the world is at hand. Good Christian, awake, arise, and shine. Time is short!
Happy Day! (For real!!!)
