Iran will begin fueling in three days

Uh-oh. All eyes are in Israel. Just like the bible said we would be in the last days.

Jerusalem Post: Obama won't hit Iran
Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he didn't see "any signs whatsoever that President Obama would make the necessary decision" to strike Iran's nuclear reactor, speaking in an interview with Israel Radio Tuesday. Bolton claimed Israel has only three days to strike before Russia "begins the fueling process for the Bushehr reactor this Friday," after which any attack would cause radioactive fallout that could reach as far as the waters of the Persian Gulf. In an interview with Fox Business Network earlier Tuesday Bolton had said the deadline was eight days, but he revised it to three in the Israel Radio interview, saying Iran and Russia had announced they would begin fueling on Friday. "It has always been optimal that military force is used before the fuel rods are inserted," Bolton explained. "That's what Israel did in Osirak in 1991, and when they attacked the North Korean reactor built in Syria." Israel bombed the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq in 1981, and a Syrian reactor in 2007. However Bolton didn't see any indication that an Israeli strike was going to happen. "Obviously if Israel were going to do something it wouldn't exactly be advertising it. But time is short."

There is grave meaning in those three words that Former Ambassador Bolton used: Time is short. The entire period of the Time of Jacob's Trouble, or Daniel's 70th week revolves around Israel. Israel's struggle to survive. Israel's persecution. Israel's battles. We see that the world's eyes are turning to Israel and it is not liking what they see. Hating it as a matter of fact, both the nation and her people.

We know that the first and second seals are about conquering and about war. Peace is taken from the earth. The entire earth will not know peace until Jesus returns. The very end of the birth pangs Jesus mentioned would indicate imminent Tribulation are full of war: the Psalm 83 war, Damascus destroyed (Isaiah 17:1), the Gog-Magog battle. And then the 70th Week starts and things get really warlike. We have Kings of the North, Kings of the East. Armies marching, battles, wars, death, and more wars.

However it comes about, the Middle East tension is building and when it blows, it will blow sky-high and remain that way until Jesus comes at the final battle: Armageddon.
