Its confidence in its drones and other military technologies will likely get it to take destructive actions that will result in severe retaliation. &#8230; Now as Isaiah 22 shows, Israel could very well be damaged by Iran before the the Great Tribulation begins. Iranian drones may well be a factor.

COGwriter, October 21, 2022)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Political pressure in the USA is already growing for the USA to take military action against Iran for its support of the Houthis (which have launched scores of attacks against USA interests in the past couple of months) as well as Hezbollah. Iran will be neutralized relatively soon.<\/p>\n<p>As far as Iran itself goes, it wants to lead all of Islam. It hopes by one day attacking Israel (according to a video it put out over a decade ago), it will get the rest of the Muslims to follow it. However, it will fail to become the leader of Islam&#8211; the Bible points to an Arabic power doing that in Daniel 11:40-43. Because of that, I have long felt that it may be that Iran would be &#8216;neutralized&#8217; before the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40) rises up.<\/p>\n<p>Iran could be also neutralized by internal unrest or other internal matters&#8211;and there is unrest in Iran. On the other hand, some of its military actions may well cause Israel, the USA, and\/or others to turn on it and destroy aspects of its military capability. Such a deployment by Iran looks to be consistent with the following biblical prophecy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision \u2014 Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6<strong> Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen<\/strong>, <strong>And Kir uncovered the shield.<\/strong> 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 8 <strong>He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 <strong>You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great<\/strong>; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. (Isaiah 22:5-10)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">Elam is a reference to at least some in Iran. The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">Iranians comprise nearly 70 percent of the country. Iranians, though Islamic, are totally distinct from the neighboring Arab peoples of the Middle East. They are a mixed people of the remnants of Media and Elam and other ancestors of Semitic and Hamitic stock. (Stump K. South Asia in Prophecy. Plain Truth, July\/August 1986, p. 5)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">As far as Kir goes, the Bible tells that after Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took over Damascus, he moved Syrians to Kir (2 Kings 16:9-10). God\u2019s word has the expression \u201cthe Syrians from Kir\u201d (Amos 9:7), which is basically confirmation that Kir of Isaiah 22 would include Syrians. The Bible also tells of a time when Kir will be destroyed (Isaiah 15:1b) and also says that Syria\u2019s capital Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1). While this does not mean that Kir must (or must only) be a reference to Syria, the fact that Syria is an ally of Iran is interesting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style4\">In Isaiah 22: 8, \u201cJudah\u201d is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel\u2013God will allow Israel to be attacked and greatly damaged! In Isaiah 22:9, consider that \u201cthe damage to the city of David\u201d is a reference to at least part of Jerusalem. This, in turn, would be expected to result in a massive Israeli, possibly with US involvement, attack against Iran and its allies, like Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s famed \u2018Iron Dome\u2019 will NOT stop the coming great damage that will hit Jerusalem, despite Israeli confidence. Perhaps Syria will be involved to somehow reduce its effectiveness when it \u201cuncovered the shield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If so, Israel will not like that and would be expected to retaliate.<\/p>\n<p>Now as Isaiah 22 shows, Israel could very well be damaged by Iran before the Great Tribulation begins. Iran likely will employ some drones in that attack.<\/p>\n<p>As far as Iran and Israel go, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/philadelphia-remnant-beliefs.htm\"><em>Continuing<\/em>\u00a0Church of God<\/a>\u00a0(CCOG) put together the following\u00a0<em>Bible News Prophecy<\/em>\u00a0video on our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/BibleNewsProphecy\">Bible News Prophecy<\/a>\u00a0YouTube channel, the audio portion of which was sent for broadcast on the\u00a0<em>European Gospel Radio<\/em> station AM 1323 kHz:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint inline-block style-scope ytd-thumbnail\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aZv63ScTY8g\" rel=\"null\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img\" class=\"style-scope yt-img-shadow\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/aZv63ScTY8g\/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEcCNACELwBSFXyq4qpAw4IARUAAIhCGAFwAcABBg==&amp;rs=AOn4CLD-zROLmfZYDrrW1ulPeCRKG4LnjA\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"overlays\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail\"><span id=\"text\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer\" aria-label=\"15 minutes, 3 seconds\">15:03<\/span><span id=\"overlay-text\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-now-playing-renderer\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"details\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"meta\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\"><a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Iran and Israel Conflict\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aZv63ScTY8g\" aria-label=\"Iran and Israel Conflict by BibleNewsProphecy 1 day ago 15 minutes 84 views\">Iran and Israel Conflict<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrel, has been brokering the nuclear negotiations involving Iran and said that he thinks the deal is \u201cin danger.\u201d Iran blames the United States, whereas the USA says they are not delaying it.
