Israeli activists worry that Netanyahu’s new majority will mean new measures against dissent

MiamiHerald.com – ‎11 May 2012 By SHEERA FRENKEL TEL AVIV, Israel — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cemented his power this week with a strategic coalition shift that makes him the most powerful head of government Israel has seen in nearly three decades…Israeli political analysts point out that Netanyahu now also enjoys a consensus on the issue of Iran. Talk of an Israeli strike on Iran has picked up in recent days, as analysts pointed out that instead of busying themselves with a national election, Israeli politicians could now form a consolidated front against Tehran. http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/05/11/2795452/israeli-activists-worry-that-netanyahus.html#storylink=cpy

In my view, Prime Minister Netanyahu has tended to be more focused on a “best case” scenario for an Iranian invasion.

Since Iran is not the prophesied King of the South (Daniel 11:40) so something must change to reduce its Islamic militaristic influence.

Of course, the religious leaders of Iran do not want a regime change that would eliminate their version of an Islamic empire. They may decide that they have no choice but to fight back hard believing that doing so represents their real opportunity to fulfill their view of Iran’s Islamic destiny. Earlier this year, Iran’s “supreme leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated “In light of the realization of the divine promise by almighty God, the Zionists and the Great Satan (America) will soon be defeated” (for more details see Ayatollah Khamenei Claims America “Will Soon be Defeated”). That would suggest that he might want Iran to fight back hard.

It would seem that such a regional war in the Middle East would possibly get out of control, especially presuming Syria is involved. If so, not only Iran and Syria, but Israel and possibly the USA could incur much greater damage than the better case scenarios that the Israelis would tend to hope for. There are chemical and biological weapons that could affect Israel and the USA, as well emp type bombs, “dirty” bombs, and other nuclear-type bombs that Israel and/or the USA may have underestimated. Terrorist and other attacks are also possible.

If we are near the time that Damascus is prophesied to be destroyed and for a time ceasing being a city (Isaiah 17:1), major problems may soon be upon that area (more than the current uprisings in Syria have been so far). At this time, it would seem that the destruction of Damascus could happen if opponents to the Syrian Assad regime felt that they had been harmed so much that eliminating Damascus would be necessary. Since Israel and the USA tend to be sensitive to international opinion, such prophesied destruction of Damascus suggests that somehow Syria will first inflict significant harm to one or more of its enemies. If this is involving outsiders like Israel, it seems that the Bible suggests major complications could occur if Israel does attack Iran and/or Syria and that Iran and Syria strike back.

Whether Israel attacks first or an Iranian/Syrian/Lebanese/Iraq etc. confederation (and not necessarily all of them) attacks first, either way, the somewhat Shit-ite Muslim confederation led by Iran will not succeed with taking over the Middle East. And while Israel (and possibly also the USA) will suffer from a regional war, Iran will not win or attain its desired objectives.

The situation in the Middle East is tense and could change overnight. As Jesus said, “37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).
