Hi John and Doves,
Iran is now out in the open. By attacking Israel directly, from it's own soil, Iran has more or less declared war on Israel. Iran is no longer hiding behind it's proxies. We are hurtling toward a huge war in the Middle East. A short excerpt from the excellently detailed article in the link:- "In some ways, the rise of Iran and Turkey as more powerful than the Arab states, fits an historic pattern of Persia and Ottoman Turkey dominating the region".
What has happened before will happen again. There is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9. I consider this article a Must Read!
Please come, LORD Jesus.
