O.K...let's have a quick review. Iran, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan are all neighbors of Israel and they all have tried to wipe Israel from the earth at various times since 1948.
Currently, Israel is incapable of putting together a government. Most recently, Tzipi Livni was elected and given the chance to put a coalition together, but she was unsuccessful so now there are new elections scheduled in Israel for next February 10. The above muslim countries view this as a sign of weakness in Israel.
Yesterday, the U.S. elected Obama to be president. The muslim countries are jumping for joy since they believe Obama is more apt to seek comprimise with them rather than confrontation. The muslim countries also view this as a sign of weakness. In their mindset, only wussies give in to comprimise...real men stand their ground and defend their honor to the death.
Rumors started building last summer that Israel may pursue a military strategy against Iran and they may try and do it before Bush leaves office on January 20, 2009. Why?? Because Israel felt it could rely on Bush to come to their aid (if needed) more than they could rely on Obama. Those rumors made it to Iran and they are taking them seriously and may be seriously scared of a surprise attack from Israel.
Without a government in Israel, it now seems VERY UNLIKELY that Israel will attack Iran before Bush leaves office. On the other hand, it now seems more likely that an attack ON Israel could happen at any time...because the enemies of Israel now smell double-weakness.
The enemies of Israel also have to realize that Israel may be close to electing a hawk...Benjamin Netanyahu. If elected he will totally destroy any notion of "land for peace" and will be more apt to start kicking butts and taking names.
So the enemies of Israel have to ask themselves..."are we better off to attack Israel now while they don't have a government and America is in transition or should we wait a few months when Netanyahu may be at the helm and he won't give us an inch plus he may be willing to go to full on war with us...but Obama will be in the White House which may leave Israel vunerable???"
Hmmmm....what are the enemies of Israel going to do??? I'm glad God knows.
Not saying that any of the following is true, BUT, if Eze. 38 is coming to pass, prophetically speaking, with the Israeli gov't and leadership in chaos, it seems that an absolute MIRACLE of Jehovah would be the only explanation if/when Iran attacks (with a coalition) that they and allies are crushed....seems like the time could be ripe. (just a thought)
