No doubt many of you have been keeping abreast of the news regarding the   
   escalating situation with Iran.   
      
   There is a lot of drum beating and bravado on display right now from all   
   quarters, but I hope that all of you can see the extreme hypocrisy that is   
   on display right now as well.   
      
   If you don't understand why I say this, then I encourage you to read some of   
   my articles on the Endtime Prophecy Net website such as "Saddam Hussein's   
   Execution and the Euro Dollar War", "Capture Of Saddam Hussein And The New   
   Babylon" and "Obama, McCain And The Bush Legacy".   
      
   Let us not forget that George W. Bush illegally, and foolishly, invaded and   
   occupied Iraq, a sovereign nation, under the pretext of finding nonexistent   
   WMD. When that deception was exposed, they repeatedly changed reasons   
   concerning why the USA invaded Iraq. Of course, the sad tragedy now is that   
   almost nine years later, Iraq isn't in much better shape than it was before,   
   and may in fact be on the verge of civil war, or being split up into three   
   federal states.   
      
   At any rate, what U.S. President Barack Obama is doing now with his current   
   bravado towards Iran is just as bad as what George W. Bush did. Obama is   
   beating the American war drum -- encouraged by Israeli instigation and   
   prompting -- based on mere assumptions and suspicions.   
      
   To set the record straight, absolutely no one has presented any clear proof   
   that Iran is intent on creating a nuclear bomb at some point in the future.   
   Furthermore, currently, the Iranians possess neither the weapons-grade fuel   
   for such a bomb, or even the technology, know-how, or actual components for   
   such a bomb. All indications are that they are not as far along as the   
   sensationalistic mass media -- and certain world governments -- would like   
   for us to believe. It is mass psychological manipulation through and   
   through, and it precedes every war which has ever been fought, because   
   people have to justify a war in their minds in some way that is acceptable   
   to themselves.   
      
   To reiterate, all of the current media sensationalism -- at government   
   prompting -- is no doubt meant to sell a new invasion package, or a new   
   attack plan, to the American public, as well as to the rest of the world.I   
   have been warning about this for several years now, ever since the USA began   
   to demonize Iran. But will the rest of the world be as gullible this time?   
   Did they learn anything from turning a blind eye when the USA belligerently   
   chose to invade Iraq contrary to world opinion?   
      
   The hypocrisy in this situation is that the nations who are currently   
   pointing the finger at Iran, and warning Iran, and leveling severe sanctions   
   against Iran, possess enough nuclear warheads to totally destroy the entire   
   planet. Furthermore, none of them are about to totally give up their   
   devilish nuclear toys. They may be willing to give up a few of their nuclear   
   toys through treaties -- such as SALT I, SALT II, START I and START II --   
   and pretend that they are going through the motions of becoming non-nuclear   
   states, but please don't be deceived by these public shows. The parties   
   involved still possess enough nuclear warheads to destroy us all!   
      
   The bottom line is that by pressuring countries such as Iran, nuclear   
   nations like the USA are simply striving to preserve their own elite nuclear   
   club. Obviously, they don't want any new members in their club. That way,   
   they can maintain superior positions in the world.   
      
   It should be evident that the only way that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation   
   Treaty will ever be successful, is if all nuclear nations totally abandon   
   their nuclear weapons. Quite frankly, knowing human nature, and the   
   corruption of world governments, I don't believe that will ever happen until   
   it is too late, and millions or billions of people are dead. It may very   
   well take a severe tragedy in order to knock some sense into the current   
   nuclear states. While I don't know it for a fact, perhaps global nuclear war   
   is what Jesus was referring to when He said the following in the   
   twenty-fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew:   
      
   "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of   
   the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should   
   be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the electÕs sake those   
   days shall be shortened."   
   Matthew 24:21-22, KJV   
      
   That sounds like a very drastic, extreme situation to me. What could   
   possibly result in almost the entire world dying, if not an out-of-control   
   nuclear war?   
      
   So who are the guilty parties at this current time? Consider the following   
   list of known nuclear states:   
      
   China   
   France   
   India   
   Israel   
   North Korea   
   Pakistan   
   Russia   
   United Kingdom   
   United States   
      
   Even though 190 parties have signed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty   
   since it went into force in 1970, nuclear proliferation continues. Why?   
      
   Warning: Kids with toys eventually play with them. They just can't help   
   themselves.   
      
   Blessed are the peacemakers, and not the warmongers!
