Iran’s Slaughter Of Civillians Reaches Unprecedented Heights As Fiery Warnings Sound From America And Israel
The estimates of protesters slaughtered by the Iranian government range from 30,000 to 80,000. Many were shot in the streets, others were killed in hospitals, and still more were unofficially executed in jails and prisons. By far this is the largest slaughter of a civilian population by its government in this century. But the leftist marchers around the world seem to either be silent or just too busy protesting against Israel and ICE to worry about tens of thousands of dead Iranians who were risking their lives for their rights. Islam is off-limits when it comes to criticism. Muslims can be victims, but you better not call them perpetrators.
President Donald Trump has said that help is on the way for the protesters. This has led to both bluster and action from the United States, Israel, and Iran. US Senator Lindsey Graham assured the Iranian citizens, “Trump is a man of his word. He has your back.” Iran responded, “If our country is cornered, it will respond in a way it never has before.” Knowing that the ayatollah’s threats were directed at Israel as well as America, Prime Minister Netanyahu promised, “Any attempt by Iran to harm us will be met with a decisive response. It will be a big mistake, a very big mistake, one mistake too many.”
Other nations have joined the verbal fray. Some, like Germany, warning Iran, while others, like Turkey, warning the US.
As the words fly from one continent to the other, so do American arms. There has been a massive buildup of US power in the Middle East. Headed by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, the sea and air power in the region is enough to level Iran many times over. Reports are that Trump will institute a naval blockade of the Islamic regime by Friday.
In response, Iran has deployed their air-defense systems in three key areas. They have readied their thousands-strong arsenal of short-range Fateh-110 missiles and mid-range Qadr missiles. In addition, they have readied swarms of suicide drones along with coastal and cruise missiles. These assets can be used with deadly consequences against the many US bases in the surrounding nations and waters.
These rules are simple: first, abandon the military nuclear program; two, reduce dramatically the ballistic missile production capabilities; and three, completely halt the terror financing of proxy militias.
This is likely a deal that the ayatollahs cannot and will not accept. In fact, late breaking reports state that the regime has already rejected any stipulation that demands they stop their military nuclear program. What will Trump’s next move be? Your guess is as good as mine.
Reports are that the Iranian regime is at its most vulnerable since the overthrow of the shah in 1979. For those followers of biblical prophecy who worry about what a regime change might mean for God’s plan, particularly with regards to the coming Ezekiel 38 war, let me set your minds at ease.
Ultimately, it means absolutely nothing. Ezekiel 38:5 makes it clear that Iran (Persia) will be part of the axis of nations that sweeps down to attack Israel with an overwhelming force. Who is leading Iran and what their ideology might be has no effect on the truth of this prophecy.
When the moment comes in God’s timeline for the Ezekiel War to take place, the leader in Tehran, be he an ayatollah, a shah, a president, or any other title, will ensure that his military is aligned with Russia, Turkey, and all the others against the nation of Israel.
Turkey Eyes a Jerusalem Conquest
Speaking of the Ezekiel War coalition, the pieces just seem to keep falling into place. At one time, the Ottoman Empire led the caliphate, of which Jerusalem was a part. But then the Ottoman Empire ended in the 20th century, and with it any hold Turkey had on the holy city. Ever since that time, Turkey has had a bit of an inferiority complex, both within geopolitics and within Islam. Thus, their sobriquet as “the Sick Man of Europe”.
For Turkey to take the lead in Islam again, there needs to be some kind of Arab connection. This is what makes it especially interesting that Bilal Erdoğan, son and possible successor of the president, assured viewers in an interview this past week that his mother is Arab and that his maternal grandparents regularly spoke Arabic to one another.
In another story regarding Turks getting their Muslim cred back, a far-right Turkish politician encouraged President Erdoğan to seriously consider taking military action against Israel with the goal of ultimately taking back Jerusalem. Once again, it all fits back into the Ezekiel 38-39prophecy.
