Israeli preparations for a military strike on Iran appear to be escalating. According to the following article Israel is moving missile boats into the Persian Gulf. Two reasons seem logical for this action on Israel's part. First, they could be readying to launch a preemptive strike against Iran before that nation acquires a nuclear weapon. Second, with February 11 only days away, the day Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has promised to send a message to the world, they could be positioning themselves for a retaliatory strike against Iran if they are attacked.
With tensions so high in the region, the smallest spark could ignite a full scale war. Iran (known as Persia in scripture) will one day attack Israel as part of a Russian led coalition according to Ezekiel 38 &39. Any confrontation between the two nations bears watching to see how it could further set the table for this future invasion.

I will once again state as I have here many times before, we as Christians must pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Also, we must pray for our nation's leaders to have wisdom in our country's role in this situation. I pray for our country's sake that we stand beside Israel in any future action they may take. We do not want to be found in the eyes of God as a nation that is cursing Israel and not blessing Israel (Genesis 12:3)
