'China will not stop Israel if it decides to attack Iran'
Haaretz ^ | 9/21/11 | Yossi Melman

Posted on 09/21/2011 8:42:18 PM PDT by Nachum

"Of course we understand that Iran aims to acquire nuclear weapons and we are concerned about this," said Prof. Yin Gang. "While it declares that its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes, the Chinese government and intelligence services believe that Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb." This clear statement was made by an independent Chinese expert on the Middle East who recently visited Israel at the invitation of Signal, an organization that furthers academic ties between Israel and China.

—a PLAUSIBLE analysis, alright.

I’m still skeptical that any of us have all that near all figured out.

Sounds like a good assessment of the people groups involved.

It comes directly from scripture Quix.

Before that the countries that touch Israel’s boarders will attack her. Sometimes called the inner ring of nations in talk of prophecy. These will be the nations described by Psalm 83.

Thank You CynicalBear.

Does Damascus get destroyed as well because of the inner ring attack against Israel?

Isaiah 17:1 (NIV) 1 A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

Yes, Israel will regain most of the territory given originally by God. Most all of Syria will again be Israel land along with Jordan, much of Saudi Arabia, Gaza and Lebanon. Damascus being the capitol of Syria will be totally destroyed. Keep in mind the nuclear arsenal just a few miles from Damascus and imagine the devestation. The first war will be won by Israel but the war of Ezek is totally God destroying the armies that come against Israel.

Does Israel become a super power? Is this why the AC needs a treaty? Does it come after Ezekiel 38?

Daniel 9:27 (NKJV) 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

Not a super power but much more feared then they are today. We aren’t told why the AC makes the treaty but one can imagine that when God totally annihilates the armies of Gog and Magog in the battle of Ezek 38 the fear from the rest of the world will grow exponentially. Yes the battle of Ezek 38 will occur before the treaty which starts the seven year tribulation.

LOL not sure why you would want to scratch a chicken.
However you might want to brush up on READING chicken scratching. AS in CHINEESE WRITING.
Are you from Rio Linda?

China just stepped up to the world power stage and had/showed more leadership than the US government. Wow!

That is how China will show its power while the US and the EU fall into monetary and political recession/depression.

Nonsense. China wants freedom do whatever they want. They don't want to lead.

That is how China will show its power while the US and the EU fall into monetary and political recession/depression.

And how exactly could China force Israel to do anything it didn't want to do? Cut off aid? Park a carrier off her shore? Send troops? Organize a coalition of like-minded states under her leadership? What?
