Two news stories have caught my attention today. Both of these items in combination lead me to believe a military conflict between Israel and Iran could be just around the corner.
First, Iran recently test fired long range missiles that have the capability of hitting Israel. I would not be surprised to see Israel take action to knock out the Iranian capability to launch such weapons.

Second, a Russian official believes Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant will be fully operational by this August. Couple this story with the first and there is no way Israel will allow Iran to become nuclear capable, or allow those missile silos to stay functional with the threat of nuclear weapons being fired out of them.
The coming weeks and months could be very critical in the tense state of affairs between the two. Christians should in this time redouble their efforts to pray in the following areas:
1. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem - Psalm 122:6
2. Pray for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have wisdom as he makes decisions on how to act regarding the Iranian threat and the increasing pressure from world leaders to sacrifice land to make peace.
3. Pray for U.S. President Barack Obama to understand the necessity of our government to stand beside Israel and bless her and not curse her. - Genesis 12:3
