MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Is Iran pronouncing judgement upon itself, again?  The Prophet Isaiah seems to suggest that when the time comes to destroy the enemies of Israel, the Holy One will Himself do so, and He will do it in just a “single day” …

Isaiah 10:17, 24-25, “And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day… Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, ‘O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod and lifts up his staff against you, the way Egypt did. For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction.'”

By Ryan Jones, Israel Today – “Almost baiting Israel to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the representative of the Islamic Republic’s ‘supreme leader’ to one of its most secretive military forces stated this week that Iran is now just waiting for the right excuse to destroy the Jewish state.

Seemingly contradicting himself, Hojjat al-Eslam Ali Shirazi, Ayatollah Khameini’s liaison to the Qods Force, told reporters that Iran would need just ’24 hours’ to destroy Israel in what he called a ‘war of attrition.’

The Qods Force is a clandestine wing of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and answers directly to Khameini. It’s primary field of operations is outside Iran’s borders.

Shirazi said he believed Israel was foolish enough to try a preemptive strike on Iran, and that Iran would then use its ‘expertise in fighting wars of attrition’ to bury Israel.

Iran fought an extremely bloody eight-year war of attrition against Iraq for the better part of the 1980s. But, of course, Iran does not share a border with Israel, so any war of attrition between the two states would be carried out largely with air and missile forces, where Israel enjoys a significant advantage, both in quality and numbers.

Meanwhile, the Times of Israel cited unnamed Iranian sources as saying the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is accelerating.

‘More and more young graduates and people are brought in every day,’ said one source who works at one of Iran’s nuclear facilities. ‘We have been working non-stop.'” Read more.

Flashback: Iran: If The Jews Do Not Leave Israel We Will Bury All Of Them In Their ‘Promised Land’ And Make Jerusalem A Mass Graveyard – “Iranian analyst Alireza Forghani boasted today that Jerusalem, which he claims was invaded over 50 years ago by the ‘pig-faced’ Jews, will soon become a mass ‘graveyard’ for the Israeli people. Forghani, a strategy specialist in the camp of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, boasted that every city in Israel will turn into a killing ground and the longsuffering of Muslims worldwide ‘will be justified by the mighty Islamic Iran.’ No one then will listen to the cries of the women and children of Israel, the author warned, when Jerusalem becomes ‘the biggest graveyard in the world.’” Read more.
