Israel Proves that Iran Lied about Nuclear Program

The Israeli government pulled off an amazing achievement in the field of espionage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed dramatic intelligence which clearly shows Iran is “brazenly lying” about its nuclear weapons program and shows the country is not complying with the nuclear deal it signed in 2015.

The Israeli Mossad gained access to a “highly secret” location in Tehran that held a trove of documents. Netanyahu said the “half a ton” of files contained material spread over 55,000 files on 183 CD’s.

“These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program,” he said.

Netanyahu briefed President Trump about the intelligence last Saturday and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday. European counterparts were also made aware prior to the speech, officials said.

Their revelation was a gut punch to the media and European leaders. The first couple of days they didn’t know what to say about information that showed overwhelming proof that Iran was lying. Netanyahu had incriminating documents, charts, presentations, blueprints, and photos. There were even details about a desire to build missiles that could deliver a warhead to the other side of the globe.

After a couple of days, the press collectively decided that the “accusations” by Israeli President Netanyahu are simply old news. They argued that the document pre-dated the nuclear agreement. Netanyahu has already provided an answer to this excuse. “After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files,” Netanyahu said. “In 2017, Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in Tehran.”

Netanyahu did make the mistake of going on CNN with Chris Cuomo. Because the nuclear deal was signed by Obama, CNN is by fault on Iran’s side. Cuomo turned the tables on Netanyahu by saying Israel needs to come clean about its nuclear weapons capabilities. After Cuomo repeatedly badgered the Israeli Prime Minister to the point of disrespect, Netanyahu won the argument with a final jab. “You can make all your assumptions. One thing is clear; Israel is not threatening the annihilation of another country,” he said.

Iran is so dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the US, it regularly has demonstrations with protesters trampling on Israeli flags, and some chanting “death to Israel” and “down with the USA.”

After we got fooled by North Korea with its nuclear program, it should be an obvious conclusion that Iran will pull the same stunt.

Iran has killed Americans on several occasions. In 2011, the Iranians tried to carry out what US officials called “an act of war” when it was discovered that Iran was plotting to hire a Mexican drug cartel to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador in a D.C. restaurant blast. The world just seems to have dementia when it comes to remembering Iran’s past sins.

The Bible gives no indication that Israel is going to be destroyed by a nuclear holocaust. The fact that Iran has promised to bring about Israel’s destruction should have leaders worried about conflict. Iran may decide to attack America to weaken its Jewish ally. Israel will certainly act to preserve itself from annihilation.

I was reading a financial article that said oil could rise to $300 a barrel if a major war was to break out in the Middle East. The glut of oil has dried up, and demand is very near supply. A disruption in the flow of oil is made certain by the eventual need for Israel to take action.

The most likely reason why our leaders are making such foolish decisions is the lack of prayer intercession. Where there is no prayer, Satan is allowed to influence world events. The Iranian Nuclear deal was so insanely flawed, it would require some type of demonic influence for its creation. Because we made so many immoral decisions, I don’t see how we could turn the corner. Netanyahu’s revelation only proves that the world is only willing to reaffirm its errors.

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:1–4).

False Accusers

In thinking on Paul’s “perilous times” characterizations of end-times man, we have covered most all of them as they seemed to become most prominent in daily life.

Here, again, is the apostle’s forewarning of things to come in this regard:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

We have looked at each individually and collectively. Paul’s description of how humanity will be while the wrap-up of the Age of Grace nears its end has proven to be stunningly accurate. Of course, this shouldn’t surprise, because the apostle received  the descriptive directly from the mind of the Living God.

Paul tells us that the nearer the Church Age comes to its conclusion, the more self-centered human beings will become.

We have discussed in these commentaries that–in my view, at least, the “selfie” –photos of one’s self–is such a manifestation of Paul’s prophetic characterization.

It is perhaps somewhat of a humorous example, but an example, nonetheless. Combined with social media and the desire of so many to one-up others in lifestyle creation -often fictional–the selfie becomes even more significant in fulfillment of this prophetic element.

We have gone over other characteristics of end-times man Paul lays out in this prophetic passage. Another example of these characteristics manifesting in our society and culture today is that men will be “without natural affection.”

My own view of this prophetic manifestation in our time is, of course, homosexuality and abortion.

My wonderment has always been: How can anyone consider sexual relations with a person of the same sex as “natural” activity? How can anyone believe abortion to be “natural” in a mother dealing with a baby in her womb? Yet these are two of the most prominent social and cultural manifestations of our day.

We know from our daily news of how “fierce” people can be in dealing with each other. This sort of murderous news seems to be the kind that most interests the viewing public–thus stimulates the news-reporting sources to broadcast it.

All we have to do is consider many of our congressional leaders and other governmental “servants”–such as those within our judicial system–to see the truth in Paul’s condemning words about mankind being “heady” and “high-minded.” These more often than not go against the will of the people in making decisions that “rule,” not “serve,” we the people.

Now we come to the title of the commentary–the characteristic Paul terms “false accusers.”

This characteristic of end-times man has, in my view, become the most manifest of all for this particular hour while the end of the age draws to its conclusion.

The 2016 presidential election has brought this one front and center for all to clearly discern. Any sound-thinking people can–if they simply open their eyes and ears–realize that the effort to destroy this president and his presidency has been the drive of the political left. As a matter of fact, I have characterized it as a satanic rage by both human and demonic minions that come against this administration’s efforts to get America back on track.

Certainly, America has been derailed, moving farther and farther away from God’s directions for life on earth as put forth in His Holy Word. Having been founded on godly principles by the Founding Fathers, it has been Satan’s plan to remove all tethers from those spiritual moorings. He has been phenomenally successful in doing so. The former presidential administration and its deleterious achievements are proof of the fallen one’s success in that regard.

The nefarious work of Satan and the minions continue. They do so through “false accusation.”

There are so many false accusers and false accusations that one commentary could not begin to cover them. So, we will look briefly at the most obvious of the false accusations.

I’m thinking here about Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence agent who, for payment, apparently, by the opponent candidate’s campaign against Donald Trump, wrote a fictional dossier, falsely accusing Trump of salacious activity while in a hotel room in Russia. This was done, it has been proven through many months of closely examining the facts, in order to give the FISA judge reason to issue permission to open investigation into Trump’s collusion with Russia in the defeat of Hillary Clinton.

It is all totally false, of course, but Muller’s investigation goes on. This is false accusation manifest for all the world to see.

No matter which channel or network that is giving news, this is the number-one story. And, it has proven to be totally “fake news.” That, friends and countrymen, is “false accusers” doing their minion work right in our faces.

This particular characteristic of end-times man, forewarned by Paul the apostle, threatens to create a constitutional crisis, threatens to tear apart the United States by dividing America in a way not even the Civil War could accomplish.

The only comforting thing those who are under the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ can take from all this is that seeing all this in our headlines today means that our redemption is drawing near.
