ISRAEL VS IRAN: WHO WINS?

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cold (35 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw: 4 deer, 3 robins, the big dipper and a huge, bright, orange moon! Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I saw this recent (4/17) headline from FOX NEWS.com: “Netanyahu says 9 chilling words as Iran’s president vows to completely destroy Israel.”

In the article, Lawrence Richard reported: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday left no doubt in a statement regarding what his Jewish country might do should current tensions with Iran escalate further, saying ‘Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself,’ Netanyahu said in a statement. The comment came after separate meetings with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in Israel on Wednesday, during which the ministers discussed actions Israel could pursue to retaliate for Iran’s unprecedented, direct attack on Israel over last weekend.” To which, Iran’s President replied: ‘Nothing would remain” (of Israel),’ vowing to “completely destroy Israel if it launches the ‘tiniest invasion.”

Question: “Who would win a war between Israel and Iran?” Answer: Israel, based on the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 where, just when it looks like Russia, Persia (Iran) and a host of other nations invade Israel to “capture a spoil,” the Lord God Himself comes to Israel’s defense and completely destroys the invaders. Glory to God! However, that doesn’t mean that all of Israel will be in the “good graces of God.” They won’t, based on the prophecy of Zechariah 13:7-9, where only 1/3rd of the Jews will accept Jesus as their Messiah and Savior and enter the kingdom of God on earth.

So, let me ask you: “What do you believe about Jesus?” Have you agreed with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believed He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16)? If so, you are on your way to heaven. Question: “Now what?” Answer: Watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love, Doug (4/21/24)
