excusmcsgt...actually,history was my favotite subject. And what was persia was not in Iraq, Iraq used to be Babylon. As for the other countries you mentioned,isn't it amazing that they are MUSLIM countries,mostly fundamentalist , with the exception of India,which has a large % of fundamenalist muslims.Which is not only exactly what Ezekiel says,but is exactly the point.Iran,backed by Russia,with a federation of fundamentalist islamics WILL lead an invasion of Israel,and be defeated again.But of course it's only coincidence that the leader of Iran,who recently signed a defense treaty with Russia, says that "WHEN" he gets "the bomb" he's going to use it on Israel.And todays news says that Israel will NOT allow that to happen.I would say that a strike on Irans reactors would convince enough muslems that "allah" wanted them to finally "Wipe Israel off the map",as he puts it.Course , it's only a coincidence,isn't it?

Concerning a proported Israeli plan to strike Iran, it is virtually certain that Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, including a pre-emptive strike. If there was ever any conservative reasoning within Israel to refrain from a pre-emptive military action, the president of Iran has tilted the balance of reason within Isreal through his inflammatory speeches. Israel is closely monitoring Iran's nuclear progress, and it knows about how much time it has before a decision must be made. That is why is is outwardly promoting diplomatic solutions with full cooperation with the international community. But make no mistake about it, it that should fail, and it becomes apparent that Iran is ready to use enriched fuel for weapons, there will be a strike, nuclear or not, and it will be a real war, because Iran has used oil money to greatly modernize its airforce in during the last ten years (yes, Russian aircraft, but also Chinese and others). Those of you who are spouting religious propaganda in here are part of the problem, not the solution.

ZykraCosmos-

Very good points, Sir. But I fear they are wasted on those who choose to get their facts from Ezekiel.......

While true that Russia has invested in Iran's nuclear power capabilities, it is an error to associate that investment with some sort of military alliance. Russia started selling nuclear technology to Iran years ago, when they were near bankruptcy and were looking for external cash. They sold technology for development of reactors to make money (yes, and aircraft too). Iran and Russia have no strategic alliance. Iran wants to develop nuclear power and Russia wants to bring in outside money. The fact is Russia is in direct competition with Iran for influence with the 28 million Muslims that live in the southern region of the former Soviet Union. Iranian money has been used to finance Chechnyan rebels, separatist movements in Ossetia, and elsewhere. Iran needs Russian technology to develop oil reserves in the southern Caspian region. Russia needs Iran to transport goods through their country for shipment out of their port in the Arabian Gulf. It's a precarious relationship. There are no cultural or ideological reasons for a military alliance. Russia is aware that the Iranian investment in nuclear technology supplied by them could be destroyed at any time, but it is already paid for. For those of you that consider Russia anti-Israel, you need to know that at this time Russia is planning expansion of its oil/gas pipelines through Turkey to be a direct supplier to Lebanon and Israel. It has a financial stake in Middle East peace.

That is a fair comment. I wish you all the best Sir, and I thank you for the decent way in which you have argued your point.

I would contend that you have to go no further in the Bible than Genesis to see that it paints an impossible scenario. If you can buy it, Negriods, Mongoloids, and Caucasians all came from Noah and his wife.

Yet, amazingly, there is a multitude who follow it as "gospel".......again, go figure.

vancouverboo..I beg to differ.Persia is now IRAN. ROSH is the root word of russia , MESHEK is MOSCOW and TUBAL is now Tubulsk , the eastern capital of RUSSIA. MAGOG's identity is up for grabs as it seems to be a "title",like "leader" posssibly. But good to see that your reading it for yourself..

Likewise. However, the U.N. and by definition, the international community considered it to be Palestine. The fact that you do not, I'm sorry to say, carries much less weight with me, Sir.

Our PREDISDNET GEORGE W. BUSH is a true leader and HE does have the guts to do what ever it takes to protect the AMERICAN people and run the UNITED STATES to the best of his ability. Like I said before, All of the anticipated news is the devil stirring up the world trying to get people fight each other. Dont let the devil temp you. Stand up for GOD and HIS WORD and HE will REWARD you

Please read the military history of the mandate.

Territories are not countries Sir. The Arabs didn't own the land after the 2nd world war.

Anyway, nice to have a lively historical debate
with an inteligent person, rather than just having someone yelling soundbites.

By any chance are you related to Curtis LeMay?

I'll bet all countries, not just Israel, have plans to destroy Iran's nuclear plants. It would be foolish not to.

If Bush had any balls, we would be the ones taking those nuclear facilities out.

Good. Let them do it. We've been their toadies long enough. Bad enough that we have to bankroll them. Let them kill their own enemies.

Sorry to correct you here, but Ezekiel makes no mention of Russia or Iran. Read it again.

AlanCE..Russia and Iran HAVE teamed up,not as I say tho,as Ezekiel says. Nice to know someone else IS reading it too. Incase you've missed the news lately , it's RUSSIA who is helping Iran build their reactors! Approx. 2 yrs ago I read that Russia had signed a defense treaty with Iran, and last year I read tht it was russian anti-aircraft missiles that Iran had installed at their reactor sites to prevent an Israeli strike like the one they used on Saddams reactor back in the 80's!Guess you better start taking Ezekiel as seriously as I do !And still, Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.....

I'll add that as children we had "faith" that Santa would bring us goodies because we were told as much with no basis in fact. Some obviously never outgrow the need to believe in fairy tales.
