UK military steps up plans for Iran attack amid fresh nuclear fears

Guardian, UK – Nov 2, 2011

Britain’s armed forces are stepping up their contingency planning for potential military action against Iran amid mounting concern about Tehran’s nuclear enrichment programme, the Guardian has learned.

The Ministry of Defence believes the US may decide to fast-forward plans for targeted missile strikes at some key Iranian facilities. British officials say that if Washington presses ahead it will seek, and receive, UK military help for any mission, despite some deep reservations within the coalition government.

It seems likely that at some point in time, Iran will be involved in at least a regional conflict in the Middle East. Perhaps also involving Syria.

Here are some points to consider:

Many believe that Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be addressed militarily, probably by Israel, but perhaps with British and/or American support.
Military actions often end up with some type of ‘peace deal.’
Iran’s leaders believe that various signs preparing the way for the Imam Mahdi have already taken place (e.g. see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: World Order About to Collapse, Mahdi Behind it).
Iran is getting somewhat impatient and its current president may not have much time in office to provoke the conflict that he seems to believe will be necessary to cause the Imam Mahdi to arise (e.g. see Iran’s Ahmadinejad to Conquer Jerusalem?).
Since Iran is not the King of the South, it may be neutralized to some degree before the final King of the South rises up.
The one that Shi’ite and some Sunni Muslims refer to as the Imam Mahdi seems to be the similar to the final King of the South in Daniel 11, and the King of the South will eventually provoke the Europeans into a major war.
For a scriptural sequence, recall that the Bible teaches that about 3 1/2 years after a peace deal (Daniel 9:27), the nation of Israel starts on the road of being eliminated beginning in Daniel 11:31 (which is what Jesus warned about in Matthew 24:15), the USA is taken over in Daniel 11:39, and the final King of the North is provoked by the King of the South in Daniel 11:40 and then eliminates the King of the South and his supporters in Daniel 11:40-43.

And while Iran’s ‘King of the South’ plan will not work out as it intends, Iran’s actions are highly likely to provoke enough warfare that many in the Islamic world will look an Imam Mahdi type leader AND will be willing to accept a peace deal such as the one in Daniel 9:27. There are some interesting Islamic prophetic views. Notice the following which is attributed to Mohammed (there are several accepted spellings):

Rasaullah [Muhammed] said: “There will be four peace agreements between you and the Romans [Christians]. The fourth agreement will be mediated through a person who will be the progeny of Hadrat Haroon [Honorable Aaron — Moses’ brother] and will be upheld for seven years.

Thus, a deal between someone from Europe (Romans above) and Israel (descendant of Aaron) and an Islamic leader is expected.

An Islamic prophetic writer wrote the following:

…a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you and the Banil Asfaar (Romans) which they will break and attack you.

Hence, some within Islam seem to understand that a temporary, but false peace, will happen with it broken by an attack from the Europeans. (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, 2009, pp. 83-84).

Thus, certain Islamic plans parallel the Bible and will come to pass, though more precisely as the Bible, and not their traditions, teach.

Events are moving forward in the Middle East, Iran, and other parts of the world for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
