This is in reply to your 2/07 post Persia/Iran Is In Bible Prophecy. The U.S. Is Not. in which you stated that Pastor Hibbs "believes that the mindset of Iran is:  if the U.S. is going to destroy us because of our nuclear ambitions that we are not going to surrender, then we are not going to shoot against the US first, we are going to make our first shot count, that is we are just going to nuke Israel.  That's what they are thinking.  That's Islamic doctrine and policy."

While Iran might attempt to nuke Israel, the reason they will not succeed is simple because in my opinion the Lord will miraculously stop any nuclear bomb missile from ever reaching Israel.  Just like Persia/Iran is in Bible prophecy in Ezekiel 38-39, Israel has to be around for the Little Horn (Antichrist) to plant the tabernacles of his palace between the Mediterranean Sea & the Dead Sea in the glorious holy mountain shown in Daniel 11:45 which says, "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. The Third Temple has to be built in Jerusalem so that the daily sacrifices are taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up (image of the beast) according to Daniel 11:31 & 12:11, Matt. 24:15 & Mark 13:14 before the Antichrist according to 2 Thess. 2:3-4"...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."  Israel has to be around for all the nations to gather together on the plains of Megiddo for the battle of Armageddon in northern Israel against Jesus. Also Jesus plants his feet on the Mount of Olives at His second coming which splits it in half according to Zechariah 14:3-4. For all these reasons, I don't think that Iran will succeed in destroying Israel with a nuclear missile although they might try.
