State Department rejects call for Iran deal to affirm Israel's 'right to exist'

A State Department official dismissed a plea Friday from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Iran nuclear agreement include clear recognition of his nation's "right to exist," declaring negotiations are "only about the nuclear issue."

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, in a terse response to a question about Netanyahu's concerns, told reporters, "This is an agreement that is only about the nuclear issue" -- a comment that indicates the Obama administration is not looking to enshrine Israel's security into a final agreement.

And thus, in ten words, Harf has made it official: The U.S. has abandoned Israel.

If we are not going to demand that Iran, one of Israel's sworn enemies -- and our enemy as well -- affirm Israel's right to exist in exchange for allowing Iran "peaceful" use of nuclear research when everyone knows their real intent is to acquire a nuclear weapon, we have abandoned our greatest ally in the Mideast.

The end is upon us.

God gives us the lists the major nations that will attack Israel, and they are:
• Magog - this is modern day Russia
• Persia - this is modern day Iran
• Meshech and Tubal, Togarmah - this region is modern day Turkey
• Ethiopia - this is modern Ethiopia
• Libya - this is modern day Libya
• Gomer - this is modern day Germany

While there is slight debate among bible scholars, the above list represents the best consensus of
the identity of the nations in Ezekiel 38. Suffice to say that the main players, of which there is no doubt, are Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya and Ethiopia. Now if we were living in the End Times, there
would have to be a growing union between the biggest players in this group. A quick look at some
recent headlines tells us this:

• Russia, the biggest End Times player, has already helped Iran build a nuclear reactor
• Iran has repeated over and over their desire to wipe Israel off the map
• Iran now has nuclear weapons capable of reaching Israel
These nations will attack Israel, the bible says, "To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land."
Ezekiel 38:12

I'm pretty much convinced we're seeing bible prophecy unfolding in our lifetime...
May people keep fighting the good fight, preaching the Word, and enduring until the end.

Lots of conjecture/speculation here..............so, I'll take all of this with a grain of salt...............I ain't real convinced when folks say they are able to interpret Revelation. And I can't help but remember what the last couple of verses in Revelation say about people "adding to," or "taking away" from it.

Like some here who say the US will be destroyed before the end of all because the US isn't mentioned in Revelation,

Wisdom of man pales in comparison to Truth.

I am just watching and waiting for the one that will be able to unite all the waring muslim factions to attack Israel.
It can't be much longer.

It isn't Revelation. It's from Ezekiel 37-39.

Just another pull of the rope that rings the proverbial bell of looming destruction while belting out the death knell for the nation.....!

Thing is, in Ezekiel, Gog is a person from the land of Magog, which is believed to be modern day Turkey. *shrugs*

I don't think Russia is the nation the prophecy is about, anyway. I believe the northern kingdoms that try unsuccessfully to destroy Israel are Islamic, and quite nearby.

Well the way Russia's economy and Putin's need to have escalation dominance is right now, I speculate that something is going to happen soon with them. They may or may not be the ones prophesied about, but they sure are making nuclear threats towards NATO and the Baltic states. With all this saber-rattling, someone is gonna jump the gun. We're at the 5-yard line, brothers and sisters!
