The Threat of Iran

Iran has apparently produced an intercontinental missile with a range that far exceeds the distance between Iran and Israel. Last week, satellite imagery taken by Israel's Eros-B Satellite showed a new missile launch site capable of firing an ICBM. On the launch site was a new 27 - meter long missile never seen before.

The missile and launch pad indicate Iran's Ballistic Missile Program is an important part of its Nuclear Weapons Program. As a result, Iran is not merely a threat to Israel but also to Europe and the United States.

Of equal concern for Israel is the diplomatic action taken by the Joint Plan of Action initiated by the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, China and Russia. The Joint Plan signed with Iran in November of 2013 placed no limitation on Iran's Ballistic Missile Program. The agreement is supposed to limit Iran's enrichment of uranium. However, since the agreement, Iran actually has expanded its uranium and plutonium work. It appears now Iran has sufficient quantities of uranium to produce two nuclear bombs with a missile launch site.

Additionally, since the agreement Iran has repeatedly refused to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency access to its nuclear installations. The United States and its partners do not know for sure what nuclear installations Iran has or what nuclear development work it has undertaken.

How do the leaders of Israel, the United States and Europe respond to the news of almost immediate danger from Iran? They all need the wisdom of God! In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses renewed the Old Covenant given at Mt.Sinai in three messages. The first message in Chapters 1-4 proclaim obedience brings blessings from God. Chapter 4  verses 1,6,7, and 8 say, "Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe. . .therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom . . .For what great nation is there that has God so near to it?. . .And what great nation is there that has such statutes?" The leaders mentioned earlier will receive blessings and especially wisdom as they obey His statutes. 

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
