We’ve heard for years from President Trump and other presidents’ declarations that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. This objective is the primary reason given for the war waged against the terroristic Iranian regime–in the first attack on Iran’s nuclear centrifuges called Operation Midnight Hammer.

The radical Islamists in control of Iran since the revolution that overthrew the shah in 1979 have proven to never let up on their declaration to destroy all who oppose their version of Islam. The leaders and the people who follow them have screamed their chants for years: “Death to the big Satan—America,” and “Death to the little Satan, Israel.”

These have waged war, usually terroristic, with small groups of militants, or with individuals with bombs strapped to their bodies or the bodies of their children. They strike in the screaming rant that “Allah is great!”

The theological premise used to foment such deadly fanaticism is based upon the Koran and passages declaring that all who are not willing to bow the knee to their version of Islam are infidels, thus are worthy of death.

This fanatical Islamist history of murderous intentions leaves the rational among us realizing that if the Iranian regime ever achieved nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, they would act on their desire to eliminate the United States and especially Israel. These Islamists hold to the Koranic dogma that by bringing on the final world war, they’re doing the will of Allah, thus they must do whatever possible to bring on that war.

It is a satanic rage from which they suffer, spawned by the hater-in-chief against all humanity, and against God’s chosen people and nation in particular. That hellish rage was made manifest for the world to see on October 7, 2023, when the most wicked atrocities imaginable were carried out with the massacre of men, women, children, and even infants. Hostages were taken and the current ongoing action grew from that attack.

So, is there any wonder that this president and Israeli’s leadership have declared that this evil regime must not be allowed to achieve deliverable nuclear warheads? 

President Trump has consistently said the nuclear material, now apparently enriched to 60 percent, must be given over or Iran will face an unthinkable consequence. This continues to be both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s threat.

Why has this removal not yet been accomplished? Trump has proven time and time again to mean what he says. Yet he keeps moving the dates, etc., choosing to seemingly hope for talks with the Iran fanatics who’ve now become the leadership to be diplomatically successful.

All the while, prices rise worldwide because of the regime’s threatened action against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and other reprisals for American and Israeli military action.

The regime’s leadership, it is conjectured–and I think Trump and Netanyahu believe—will never surrender their nuclear material. Nuclear threat is the only ingredient within their deadly plans that gives them credence on the world stage of geopolitics. If they surrender the nuclear material, they will no longer hold the world in fear of their madness.

At the same time, Mr. Trump and his team of military know the option they have is to destroy the enriched uranium believed to be beneath the Bushehr mountains. As a matter of fact, with today’s sophisticated surveillance capabilities, there is no doubt where that material is located.

America has proven this area could be struck at any time, thus eliminating the threat.

Why has this decision not yet been made?

I believe it’s all part of God’s restraining hand as placed upon prophecy yet future. I’m almost certain that the president, of course, has no understanding of this prophecy. But Mr. Trump does know about the kind of havoc an all-out attack on this nuclear material would cause.

Therefore, this is where I believe Bible prophecy might enter the matters involved.

My friend Bill Salus has written extensively on this prophecy. His book, Nuclear Showdown in Iran: Revealing the Ancient Prophecy of Elam, involves the very region where resides the nuclear material that is at the heart of conflict in Iran.

That Jeremiah 49 prophecy is as follows:

It is true that such destruction might come from catastrophe such as a massive earthquake rather than as an attack upon Iran’s nuclear material hiding place. This prophecy, however, seems to be in view to those who “watch” as commanded by our Lord. If President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu determine that this regime of Islamist fanatics will in no case surrender this enriched nuclear stockpile, an attack to obliterate that stockpile might likely be launched.

This could result in just the kind of chaos and scattering the prophet Jeremiah warned about.

This potential nuclear disaster for the Iranian people is why, I believe, every effort at diplomacy is being employed at present. These administrations–American and Israeli—want to make it clear that this was the only option in the final analysis, if indeed the attack is launched.

This is a time for all Christians who believe Bible prophecy is truth from God’s Word to be watchful.

We at RaptureReady.com certainly intend to continue to view all that is happening under the light of God’s prophetic Word.

All of God’s Word, of course, speaks to the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The first phase of that return will be the Rapture of the Church–the taking of all believers into the clouds of Glory and safety from all that will then transpire on this judgment-bound planet.

Here is how to make sure you are called by Christ to that safety at the Rapture:

That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
