Iran War started. Pray for Peace. And for Victory.

I wouldn't rule him out, but the Jewish yoke must be cast off.

Vance and Gabbard were the only ones in the Trump cabinet to oppose this war, I've heard.

 

If I may, I’m requesting prayers for young Jacob Hall currently on duty aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford in Iran. The family belongs to my parish and I saw his worried grandmother this morning. This hits home. Thank you.

 

Thanks, Mario. I’m old enough to remember when his father and mother were first married. !!!!!

 

In my prayers HH

 

But yet we have this hope...


"if then my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and heal their land"

- 2 Chronicles 7:14

 

And we can pray and stand in the gap for them.

 

Here am I being arm-chair general, but human beings, not statistics are dying and at risk. May God protect the innocent, which is most combatants.

 

Back to my arm-chair, a precise summary of the war at this moment:

Excellent! Highly recommended.

I admit I’m not even halfway through it (it’s rather long) but what I’ve read so far is truly insightful and informative.

 

This is very grave indeed.

And it’s not only George saying that. Other credible military analysts are suggesting that.

Mr Netanyahu cryptically said a couple of days ago “we’re not done yet “.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but this suggests that the war is not going according to plan but they can change its course with tactical nuclear weapons.

 

If Netanyahu uses nukes, Iran will fire as rapidly as possible every missile and drone it has left (thousands of each) at a defenseless 'Israel'. Given the respective population densities of the two countries, there will be far more of Iran and its citizens left than 'Israel'. I've heard that the prevailing winds in the region are south-westerly from Iran, so the fall-out would be on the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia. A disgruntled Saudi Arabia might even call in its ally, Pakistan to give the coup-de-grace to 'Israel'. Not that I would expect any of these distinct possibilities to deter Netanyahu.

If this purported nuclear attack did not subdue Iran, it must be borne in mind that the new Ayatollah is not, unlike his father, opposed to nuclear weapons. The Iranians, if they put their minds to it could develop nukes in weeks, if they haven't already done so. They have proven themselves to have far superior delivery systems than Israel, including hypersonic missiles.

All in all, things are looking ominous for 'Israel'.

I am not sure whether the content of the link above is true, but if it is, it would represent the destruction of the global oil markets. I imagine that, overnight, countries would be forced to buy Russian oil under a wide range of concessions.

 

First customer would be China. Europe would have to put out the begging bowl.

 

There is also the issue of Russian natural gas supplies to Europe: Putin could run a “super promotion” for his European adversaries by offering secure supplies of oil and natural gas under certain conditions, or he could take the path of double revenge by prioritizing only his allies or politically neutral countries on the global stage.

In fact, yesterday Trump said that 100 million barrels of Venezuelan oil had been taken to refineries in Houston and that another 100 million barrels from there are also on the way. So it seems that Europe may end up being the one that suffers the most.

 

Yes. This is the logical analysis. So Israel will never resort to nukes right?

Wrong. Crazy people do crazy stuff.

Why did Hitler invade Russia? Any military analyst would say this was
madness. Didn’t he know history? Didn’t he know what happened to Napoleon and every army that tried to invade Russia?

And yet it happened and the rest as they say is history.

I’m afraid Israel is on a similar path.

 

I admire your faith Mike.. But I think we have reached a turning-point of sorts.

The dilemma for heaven, in my humble opinion, was probably to allow the evil to continue; so that as many souls as possible might turn back to God, and be saved.
But now, the world is so wicked that to allow things to persist; would probably see more and more souls actually fall away from God, and be lost.

Dear God I hope I'm wrong!!

 

That's what I meant in my reference to Netanyahu. He's fit for anything.

 

Praying !!!

 

Yes. I am convinced that there is still the equivalent of " the ten good men" Abraham begged God for to save Sodom. There are many Christians who are praying right now and living Godly lives. Perhaps as Our Lord said to Abraham "for the sake of the few i will save the many"
