When will Israel, Iran's proxy war Ignite? - opinion
Jerusalem Post ^ | 5/11/22 | Neville Teller

Posted on 05/12/2022 3:14:13 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

On Wednesday, April 27, according to Syria’s Defense Ministry backed by the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), Israel launched a missile attack on positions near Damascus killing four Syrian soldiers. The Syrian state news agency claimed the missiles had been launched from Tiberias in north-eastern Israel. According to the head of SOHR, Rami Abdel Rahman, the missile attacks hit arms depots in several suburbs of Damascus used by Iran-backed groups. At least five separate sites were targeted.

The SOHR was established in 2006 to catalogue human rights violations by the dictatorial regime of Bashar Assad in Syria. Since the Arab Spring rebellion against the Assad regime in 2011, it has set up a vast intelligence-gathering network in every region of Syria and become an authoritative source of information about the effects on the civilian population of Assad’s ruthless conduct of the conflict, backed – as his forces are – by both Russia and Iran.

Israel issued no statement on the reported April 27 attack, nor about one reported on April 14 when several missiles hit Syrian army positions near Damascus. What Israel has said in the past is that any Iranian or Iranian-supported presence near its northern frontier is a red line and that it targets the bases of Iran-allied militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, which has fighters in Syria backing the Assad regime.

I’ll save you some time. This is all in the article that you’d care about:

In Washington on October 20, 2021, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid warned that Israel was prepared to use military force to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons capability. “Iran has publicly stated it wants to wipe us out,” said Lapid. “We have no intention of letting this happen.”

Should force be required to stop an Iranian bomb, Israel would have to act and almost certainly act alone. That is how the long-standing Israel-Iran proxy war could assume a terrible reality.

Pre emption is good when you see what is brewing over your border.

I think it will be a few decades. I think Iran will be a part of a coordinated attack on Israel fulfilling Ezekiel 38, but I believe that will be the World War III that will launch immediately after the great catching up of the saints to meet Jesus in the air to take them out of this world along with the Holy Spirt.

The Holy Spirit is “what withholds” the “mystery of iniquity” and “that Wicked” (2 Thess. 2:6), so all hell isn’t going to break loose until then. Some may say, “All Hell has already broken loose” but you ain’t seen nothing yet. When it all comes crashing down - in a few decades IMO - then in seven short years the entire population of the earth will be destroyed except for a few stragglers.

Sounds a bit like what is happening in Ukraine. Which I do not mean as a criticism.

BTW, it’s a fulfilment of Ezekiel 38-39, the beginning of WWIII I believe.

In this first part of the war, Iran and Russia will badly lose, Russia limping back with only 1/6th left and their weapons will be burning for the next seven years (Ez.39:9) and they will be burying the dead for the next seven months (Ez. 39:12).

Israel is bolder and far craftier than other countries. Unless they are stabbed in the back by a supposed ally, they will prevail.

True, they will want to act before Iran has a usable bomb, and with Biden in office, that probably means very soon.

The Six Day War was preemptive, and secured Israel’s survival. No reason to think they wouldn’t do it again.

If someone who has the means to do so says they’re going to kill you, you should believe them.

Hmm, maybe soon. They’ll hit from Lebanon, ship from Iraq and Syria and Isaia 17:1 and Ezekiel 38,39 will start cooking off while all the nations will ask,”Magog, what the hell? Have you come to take a spoil? China broke us.”

And they’ll have to do so by themselves.

The Six Day War was not pre-emptive. Every nation was already at war with Israel. The United Arab Republic, led by leaders calling for the Mediterranean to run red with Jewish blood, were already shelling Israeli towns and blockading Israel. These are acts of war. They made the mistake of starting a war before marshalling their forces because the Soviets falsely had told them that Israel was planning a first strike.
Israel begged the Jordanians to stay out, once the war started.
