Pre-emptive strike?

According to this news story, Israel has tried two or three times to nuke Iran, only to be turned back by the USA.

Wow.

... just... wow.


Let me spin a hypothetical scenario:

If Israel did this, the entire Muslim world would attempt to retaliate... and we're right next door, in Iraq. Several well-placed nukes could take out America's ground forces, leaving us with only the big guns to defend ourselves. A defacto Pax Americana would result.

Following such an attack, religious leaders and secular leaders everywhere would demand answers. Eventually, it will be decided that a one-world government and a one-world religion is the only way to go. The people of the world, desiring safety more than freedom, will gladly cede their sovereignity.

This would set the scene for the Antichrist.

Alternately:

At the moment of escalation, someone will call out for a halt to the violence. That person will appear to be Jesus, returned at the right time to keep us from destroying the world.

"Jesus" would claim that monotheistic religion is causing all the problems, and proclaim a pantheistic religion similar to Hindu is the real truth. People would believe him. After all, it's Jesus!

Only those who know the truth, that there is only one God, and that He sent His Son to die for our sins, will hold out. We will be shunned, spited, and eventually, disallowed from public economy. We will be reduced to beggin on the streets if we refuse to follow "Jesus".

The President of Israel has a seven year term...

  • I believe th anti-Christ will be a Jew, who else would Israel let into the temple, into the Holy of holies, except a Jewish high priest?

    VERY interesting about the 7 yr term for the Prez.

  • Who else would the Jews worldwide proclaim as Messiah?

    It's not a conspiracy, nor a supremacy thing. Israel, God's chosen people, rejected Jesus the Messiah, and continued the sacrifice and search for a Messiah. If Israel declares someone to be Messiah, that person is not.

    You see, anti-Christ originally meant something like "pseudo-Christ". (Christ is Greek for Messiah, which is Hebrew for Anointed.) This person will have all the signs and powers that would make it clear he is Messiah -- except that he's not.

    Which is sort of ironic, because Jesus said He was equal to God, and they killed him for blasphemy, which would have been right -- except that He really IS equal to God.

    Sigh. The best thing Christians can do is get in touch with a Messianic Synagogue in their area, and find out what brought them to Jesus. You might learn something interesting about apologetics.
