The prophetic consequences of the Iranian nuclear deal Over the years, many people have been trying to identify where America is in the Bible. There are many disagreements over it, mostly on symbolic references and speculation. We must remember that the Bible is not a Western book, but rather one with end time events described from a Middle Eastern point of view. But that does not exclude the United States from taking part in the march of prophecy as it did over the weekend in advancing the Ezekiel 38 prophecy clock. One of the major players in the end time battle described in Ezekiel 38-39 is Persia--modern day Iran. The occupant of the Oval Office has effectively negotiated an agreement with Iran that could secure its end time position against Israel. Ezekiel 38 names Iran as one of the main countries that joins Gog of Magog in storming the mountains of Israel in that day. Verse 5: Persia (modern Iran), Ethiopia (modern Sudan), and Libya (modern Libya) with them; all of them with shield and helmet. Verse 9: Thou shall ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Verse 16: Thou shall come against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O God, before their eyes. America is not mentioned, but its leader has assured a form of participation. The US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany agreed with Iran to lift some sanctions if Iran will slow down its nuclear activities and allow inspection of its facilities. But the ramifications are far greater. The Geneva agreement is described by the UK Independent: It marks a victory for the Shia in their growing conflict with the Sunni Muslim Middle East. It gives substantial hope to Bashar al-Assad that he will be left in power in Syria. It isolates Israel. And it infuriates Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Kuwait and other Sunni Gulf States which secretly hoped that a breakdown of the Geneva nuclear talks would humiliate Shia Iran and support their efforts to depose Assad, Irans only ally in the Arab world. The US president has taken a giant step toward legitimizing a terrorist sponsoring state. While many will continue to point to the schism between Sunni and Shiite, Islam is first Islam and its unification is evident in the Ezekiel 38 passages. Even when the Lord returns and is defeating the forces against Israel, the division between Shia and Sunni is evident. Ezekiel 38:21 says, And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every mans sword shall be against his brother. Notwithstanding, the US will suffer consequences for the decisions of its president to support Islam at the expense of Israel. Zechariah 12:9 says, And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. The dawn of the mourning caused by the wicked bearing rule is soon upon us.
