Arab Nations Running Scared of Iran in the Middle East!
Supplement to October 24, 2006 Blog (Saudis are getting Worried)

I have long listed three of the Arab nations given in the Jerusalem Post article, which follows the Scriptures, as being toes and horns on Daniel’s statue and horns on the Revelation beast. This is a Supplement to our Blog of October 24, titled “Saudis are getting worried.”
Middle East Arab countries have a choice of joining Iran or preparing to defend against her by obtaining deterrent nuclear capability.
The prophetic noose of a Middle E
ast war is slowly encircling and tightening around a great area enclosed by a line from Morocco to Turkey to Afghanistan to the United Arab Emirates to Sudan to Morocco. Whether the world believes the prophecies of the Bible or not, the dire end time prophecies of what is known as the time when “the fullness of the Gentiles” is fulfilled, will soon begin. As you well know, my guesstimate of the beginning of the attack again Israel, which begins the final three and one-half years of great tribulation before the Second Advent of Christ, is at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
The Middle East events of the last two years have reinforced the likelihood of my guess being correct.
I expect ten of the Arab nations within the aforementioned prophetic noose to join Iran and Syria in the final attack against Israel, which begins some three and one-half years before the final battle of Armageddon. The great statue of Daniel 2 once stood in the midst of this prophetic noose in what became the southern flank of the Roman Empire.
For a thorough description of all the Scriptures that follow, Please see Archive Prophecy Updates 233B, 234A, 235A, 236A & 236B.
Daniel 2:42-44 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces
and consume all these kingdoms, and it sh
all stand for ever.
The kingdom of Daniel 2:44 that will consume all these kingdoms is the same kingdom of Revelation 11:15, and the kingdom of Daniel 7:27.
Revelations 11:15 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (See Archive Prophecy Updates 73D, 74A, and 144A)
Daniel 7:24-27 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
[26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Revelation 17:12-14 –And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Report: IAEA to help Arabs go Nuclear
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
November 4, 2006
Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are all seeking nuclear technology, the British newspaper The Times reported Saturday morning.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the countries involved claimed they were only interested in building civilian nuclear energy programs, a goal which is permitted under international law.
“Some Middle East states, including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, have shown initial interest [in using] nuclear power primarily for desalination purposes,” Tomihiro Taniguch, the deputy director-general of the IAEA, told the business weekly Middle East Economic Digest. He also added that after preliminary discussions with the governments, the IAEA would offer its support in helping to build the power plants, The Times reported.
Mark Fitzpatrick, an expert on nuclear proliferation at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, pointed to Iran as sparking the sudden rush for nuclear technology.
“If Iran was not on the path to a nuclear weapons capability you would probably not see this sudden rush [in the Arab world],” The Times quoted him as saying.
While Egypt and other North African states can justify the technology as necessary in the face of high oil prices, others, such as Saudia Arabia, will have a more difficult time defending their decision.
In addition to owning healthy reserves of oil, Saudi Prince
Saud al-Faisal, the Foreign Minister, told The Times earlier this year that his country was opposed to the spread of nuclear power and weapons in the Arab world.
