Forget Iran, the Obama administration appears to be more worried about Israel’s nukes.
It appears the next phase in the standoff over Iran’s apocalypse-inducing nuclear weapons program is beginning to come into focus.
In the months ahead, don’t be surprised if the efforts of the Obama administration to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions become predicated on the nuclear disarmament of the Jewish state. Why is this likely? Simple: Such a mandate is the inevitable outgrowth of the foolish yet increasingly pervasive tendency to consider as equals the nuclear ambitions of Israel and Iran.
This false moral equivalence between the nuclear programs of Iran and the Jewish state is currently on display in New York, at the month-long Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (npt). The conference is supposed to focus on revising and updating the npt, of which Israel has never been a signatory. But when the conference opened Monday, it quickly became evident that UN member states had set their sights on a “predictable target.”
That would be Israel.
In one of the first addresses Monday morning, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa spoke on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, which is the largest single coalition within the United Nations (118 of the 192 UN countries are members). According to Asia Times, Natalegawa noted specifically that it was Israel’s refusal to sign the npt that had “resulted in the continued exposure of non-nuclear-weapon states of the [Middle East] to nuclear threats by the only country possessing these weapons of mass destruction.”
Forget Iran’s fearless scramble for nukes—most UN member states apparently believe the greatest nuclear threat in the Middle East comes from Israel’s refusal to sign the npt.
After Natalegawa’s address, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the only head of state who personally attended the conference...

Hopefully, then, such posts will not be yours.
But I don't care who argues that a given Fulfilled Prophecy has NOT been fulfilled; in standing up for the integirty of God's Word and the Bible's 100%-perfect record on Prophetic Fulfillment -- I'm arguing against the Post, not the Poster.
Do you also believe the Great Tribulation has already occured then?
I'm assuming that by "loves and adores", you mean "would sell Israel bound, gagged, and nekkid to her enemies for a complimentary photo-op. Or maybe a pizza".
Because that seems to be the nature of the Left's "love and adoration" for Israel.
Lemme ask someone who's disagreed with me on this thread, already. Buggman, would you agree?
I believe that the Tribulation prophesied by Christ when He said, "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled", did in fact occur in AD 66-70: the time, times, and half-a-time of the three-and-a-half years-long Jewish Wars.
Christ said that such a tribulation would occur within the generation of His listeners, and He was proven correct. (Unsurprisingly -- Him being God, and all).
And there you have it!!! That ALWAYS blows there theology right out of the water IMO.
Well, except that there's my #47 in answer, and all.
There is NO way what John reveals has taken place and you know it. Anyway, we TOTALLY disagree and enough with the banter.
Have a good one!
Shalom
Most of John's Revelation has been fulfilled.
Certainly, the parts corresponding to Matthew 24, of which Christ said "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled", have indeed been fulfilled in the Jewish Wars of AD 66-70.
Just as Christ predicted. He said it would happen within that generation, and it did.
The biggest hole in your argument is that Christ stated in Matthew 24:29-30 (King James Version):
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Last checked, He has NOT returned and therefore, the 'great tribulation' connected to the 'abomination that causes desolation' he refers to in 24:15 is a future event from the time he stated it and not to be confused with the destruction of the Temple.
Maranatha!
Of course NObama is after Israel’s nukes...
NObama is a Muslim—he was born as such because his daddy was a Muslim.
Obama is after the complete and total destruction of both Israel and America. He will begin by taking away our ability to defend ourselves.
In the mean time Iran’s missile program will launch a nuke (or several nukes) into space. The nukes will detonate over America and every piece of electronic gear in the country will become toast from EMP. Without electronic ignitions and computers, it will only be a matter of weeks before Americans begin to starve to death because we no longer grow our own food and we can no longer even supply it from external sources like Chile. We can’t even pump drinking water to our homes without electronics; and forget the winter, we’ll all freeze to death.
Obama is the worst thing that has ever happened to our country.
Actually, earthquakes and heavenly signs featured quite prominently in the destruction of Jerusalem.
As noted, the Matthew 24 passages referring to Christ's coming refer not to His future Bodily Return to Earth, but rather to His heavenly coming in judgment upon Jerusalem.
So, yet again, we see the Biblical Prophecy is always 100% Right.
“As noted, the Matthew 24 passages referring to Christ’s coming refer not to His future Bodily Return to Earth, but rather to His heavenly coming in judgment upon Jerusalem.”
Wowsers, that’s a leap! Don’t see any mention of a ‘heavenly’ return in Matthew 24.
Um, it's all about the "heavenly". The word "heaven" appears seven times in Matthew 24, several times in reference to Christ's location in the narrative; the word "earth" (not counting one reference to "earthquakes") only twice, and neither time in reference to Christ's location. Read it again:
Here's some Josephus again, to reinforce the point:
...for, before sun-setting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armour were seen running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities. Moreover, at that feast which we call Pentecost, as the priests were going by night into the inner [court of the] temple, as their custom was, to perform their sacred ministrations, they said that, in the first place, they felt a quaking, and heard a great noise, and after that they heard a sound as of a great multitude, saying, "Let us remove hence". -- Josephus
