Hello John and Doves,
Did we just witness a miracle?
Both Vice President Pence and Secretary of State Pompeo said that the Iranians intended to kill U.S. troops in the ballistic missile attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq. They had no doubt our soldiers were targeted by those missiles.
Even Iran claimed 'tens of people were killed or wounded' as they sent in a couple of waves of ballistic missiles to do the job - they were so sure there were casualties that they announced them to the world. And the MSM picked up the stories and ran with them.
When the smoke cleared, there were no casualties found - no American soldiers were killed and none were wounded. And very little damage was done to these bases.
So what happened? Iran was sooo sure there were casualties reporting this for all the world to see. The MSM here in the U.S. ran with Iran's stories. And the MSM ran with 'war with Iran is on the brink!! Trump has done it now!' Just freaking out.
When the truth came out about no casualties, Iran turned around and said the missiles fired at the bases used by U.S. troops in Iraq were 'not intended to inflict casualties - they were intended to hit military machinery'. (Very little damage was done to these bases.) In spite of this, they are standing by their stories that reported on Americans killed and wounded. They can't comprehend there were not casualties.
Yet Iran was able to hit two major Saudi oil installations. It was reported that "...the precision nature of the attacks - the targets appear to have been hit dead center - suggests some degree of finesse in weaponeering - the selection and modification of munitions pursuant to the intended physical effects. Hence, developments in Iranian military technology appear to be accompanies by improvements in the human and organizational "software" required to carry out complex operations against defended targets with precision conventional munitions." https://warontherocks.com/2019/09/under-the-radar-irans-cruise-missile-capabilities-advance/
Under the Radar, Iran’s Cruise Missile Capabilities Advance - War on the Rocks
So either Iran suddenly became very bad shots with their missiles...or...God stepped in and diverted the missiles - maybe stopping WWIII before it is prophesied to start. If there had been American soldiers killed, I don't think President Trump would have hesitated bombing those '52 sites'.
If Iran really intended to kill our soldiers and were sure their missiles were right on target, and can't figure out what happened...then they have to be contemplating the Hand of God diverting them. That would be sobering.
This did happen in the Middle East, where, during the 1948, 1967, and 1973 wars, military miracles were widely reported - by Arabs and Jews. Nothing will happen without God's approval. When it's time, it will happen.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!

Here's an article from August 2014 "Miracles in Israel: Hand of God diverts incoming missile, mysterious fog helps troops" http://godreports.com/2014/08/miracles-in-israel-hand-of-god-diverts-incoming-missile-mysterious-fog-helps-troops/
Miracles in Israel: Hand of God diverts incoming missile, mysterious fog helps troops | God Reports
In one remarkable case, an Israeli Iron Dome operator says he witnessed ‘the hand of God’ divert an incoming Hamas rocket into the sea during the week of July 27th.
According to Israel Today, the commander said, “A missile was fired from Gaza. Iron Dome precisely calculated [its trajectory]. We know where these missiles are going to land down to a radius of 200 meters. This particular missile was going to hit either the Azrieli Towers, the Kirya (Israel’s equivalent of the Pentagon) or [a central Tel Aviv railway station]. Hundreds could have died.” Then a second interceptor was fired and it missed.The commander took the appropriate action to stop the missile. “We fired the first [interceptor]. It missed.”
“This is very rare. I was in shock,” the commander reported.
“At this point we had just four seconds until the missile lands. We had already notified emergency services to converge on the target location and had warned of a mass-casualty incident,” he said.
But then something amazing happened. “Suddenly, Iron Dome (which calculates wind speeds, among other things) shows a major wind coming from the east, a strong wind that … sends the missile into the sea. We were all stunned.”
