Is Operation Pillar of Fire coming to Iran? In the aftermath of Operation Pillar of Cloud there are many “expert” opinions. Here is a simple review that answers the question of what is next?

Despite strong disappointment in Israel and elsewhere that the operation stopped short of toppling Hamas, there were solid results. Hamas is defanged, if only temporally. Most of their stock of Fajir-5 rockets were destroyed. The Western powers were generally supportive. Even President Obama clearly stated Israel’s right to defend itself from thousands of rockets targeting civilians. And all of this accomplished with relatively modest “collateral damage”.

Yet, the most important result affects Israel’s major goal, the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear threat. If, as many believe, that Israel will attack Iran’s facilities in the spring, it will be quite clear that the disarming of Hamas was timely indeed.

Some have asked me if the Gog and Magog War of Ezekiel 38 & 39 will break out this spring. It will not, because the Psalm 83 War comes first, when Israel will defeat the Arab nations immediately around her borders, listed in the Psalm. Then Israel will rule from the River of Egypt (Nile) to the great river, Euphrates (in eastern Syria) according to Genesis 15.

On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”. Genesis 15:18

This promise has never been fully realized. Ezekiel lists the nations in the Gog/Magog War, including Iran, Turkey, Libya and Sudan. Where are the Psalm 83 nations in Ezekiel?

Therefore, the result of the Pillar of Fire (as good a name for it as I can think of), will be a neutralizing of Iran which will allow for Israel’s necessary victory of Psalm 83. Then after a period of real peace (see No Walls below) for Israel, Iran will be back with a new coalition of anti-Christ Muslim nations to try to finish Israel.

NO WALLS – Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’” Ezekiel 38:10-11

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
