Iran is a main Biblical prophetic player that comes against Israel, igniting a colossal end times battle prophesied in Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38:2 says, “…set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against them.” Magog, Meshech, Tubal are all located in what is now modern Turkey. Verse 5 says, “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them…” Persia is modern day Iran. For decades, the UN Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), tasked with preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, has been useless against Iran’s terrorist Islamic leaders enriching uranium. Now IAEA head Rafael Grossi says Iran is continuing to enrich uranium beyond commercial grade use.
Reuters reports that Grossi said Iran was enriching uranium at an elevated rate of around 60% purity, which is close to nuclear weapons grade. Iran continues to deny it is building nuclear weapons, but Reuters reports it is the only state that has enriched uranium to that level without producing them. In December 2005, The Daily Jot reported, that then IAEA chief Muhammad ElBaradeisaid that if Iran resumed enrichment of uranium as threatened, the rogue nation would have a nuclear bomb within a few months. A month before, ElBaradei said that there was no evidence that Iran had a nuclear weapons program. His feckless leadership and often delusional ideas of trusting Iran have largely brought the world to the brink of a nuclear terrorist-sponsoring state.
Three years later in 2008, ElBaradei admitted to the LA Times that the UN’s policy toward preventing Iran from a nuclear arms program “has been a failure.” This from the man who balked at Bush Administration concerns that Iran was moving toward building a nuclear weapon in a November 2004 news conference, “I am not ready to jump to the conclusion and say this is a weapons program,” he said, “unless I see clear cut proof that this is a weapons program. And we are not there yet.” The IAEA leadership under El Baradei and Grossi have played the “could have a nuke in six months” card nearly every year for two decades. If not for Israel’s clandestine efforts to thwart Iran, the terrorist state already could have developed nukes.
Also, former president Barack Obama accelerated Iran’s nuclear ambitions by signing a nuclear weapons deal with Iran in 2015 and sent them $100 billion on pallets, which was used to continue its nuclear and missile development program. President Trump ended the agreement and froze billions in Iranian assets which hindered Iran’s nuclear development. Joe Biden unfroze the billions for Iran and now we have the IAEA saying Iran is enriching nuke-grade uranium again. Obama said that without the Iranian deal the US would be faced with a choice of a nuclear Iran or another Middle East war. Well, we have an Iranian-sponsored terrorist war in the Middle East today, and Iran continues its nuclear program. Psalm 122:6 says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.”—a good place to start. The prophecy clock ticks ahead.
