Iranian media on Wednesday lauded US President Barack Obama for a speech in which he attested to "past mistakes" made by Washington, and said a favorable shift has commenced in the global community's attitude toward Tehran, AFP reported.

Newspapers in Iran hailed Washington's seemingly altered tone toward its long-time foe as alluded to in Obama's address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday during which he spoke of engaging in a "diplomatic path" with the Islamic Republic.

Netanyahu: We will not be fooled by Tehran’s "smoke screen"; US president scolds world body for inaction on Syria.

Preventing a nuclear Iran and solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are the two top priorities for the rest of his term, US President Barack Obama told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

“In the near term, America’s diplomatic efforts will focus on two particular issues: Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and the Arab-Israeli conflict,” he said. “While these issues are not the cause of all the region’s problems, they have been a major source of instability for far too long, and resolving them can help serve as a foundation for a broader peace.”

Basically He is Saying Give peace a chance, give Iran more time to reach a negotiated settlement, Irans regime is ok, no need to seek change there, yes we can have peace in the middle east, have faith in diplomacy and in me.

Also the US was wrong in the past to be so harsh on Iran, we all should just sit down at the negotiating table and working out our differences..by forcing Israel to give up more land for peace to the pals, Israel to disarm, Israel to disavow/ give up any weapons of mass destruction.

In short he is saying what?..."the world can have peace, once Israel is out of the way."

Full Text of the speech made by Obama before the UN.

Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen: each year we come together to reaffirm the founding vision of this institution. For most of recorded history, individual aspirations were subject to the whims of tyrants and empires. Divisions of race, religion and tribe were settled through the sword and the clash of armies. The idea that nations and peoples could come together in peace to solve their disputes and advance a common prosperity seemed unimaginable.

It took the awful carnage of two world wars to shift our thinking. The leaders who built the United Nations were not naïve; they did not think this body could eradicate all wars. But in the wake of millions dead and continents in rubble; and with the development of nuclear weapons that could annihilate a planet; they understood that humanity could not survive the course it was on. So they gave us this institution, believing that it could allow us to resolve conflicts, enforce rules of behavior, and build habits of cooperation that would grow stronger over time.

For decades, the U.N. has in fact made a real difference – from helping to eradicate disease, to educating children, to brokering peace. But like every generation of leaders, we face new and profound challenges, and this body continues to be tested. The question is whether we possess the wisdom and the courage, as nation-states and members of an international community, to squarely meet those challenges; whether the United Nations can meet the tests of our time.

For much of my time as President, some of our most urgent challenges have revolved around an increasingly integrated global economy, and our efforts to recover from the worst economic crisis of our lifetime. Now, five years after the global economy collapsed, thanks to coordinated efforts by the countries here today, jobs are being created, global financial systems have stabilized, and people are being lifted out of poverty. But this progress is fragile and unequal, and we still have work to do together to assure that our citizens can access the opportunity they need to thrive in the 21st century.

Together, we have also worked to end a decade of war. Five years ago, nearly 180,000 Americans were serving in harm’s way, and the war in Iraq was the dominant issue in our relationship with the rest of the world. Today, all of our troops have left Iraq. Next year, an international coalition will end its war in Afghanistan, having achieved its mission of dismantling the core of al Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11.

For the United States, these new circumstances have also meant shifting away from a perpetual war-footing. Beyond bringing our troops home, we have limited the use of drones so they target only those who pose a continuing, imminent threat to the United States where capture is not feasible, and there is a near certainty of no civilian casualties. We are transferring detainees to other countries and trying terrorists in courts of law, while working diligently to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. And just as we reviewed how we deploy our extraordinary military capabilities in a way that lives up to our ideals, we have begun to review the way that we gather intelligence, so as to properly balance the legitimate security concerns of our citizens and allies, with the privacy concerns that all people share.

As a result of this work, and cooperation with allies and partners, the world is more stable than it was five years ago. But even a glance at today’s headlines indicates the dangers that remain. In Kenya, we’ve seen terrorists target innocent civilians in a crowded shopping mall. In Pakistan, nearly 100 people were recently killed by suicide bombers outside a church. In Iraq, killings and car bombs continue to be a horrific part of life. Meanwhile, al-Qaida has splintered into regional networks and militias, which has not carried out an attack like 9/11, but does pose serious threats to governments, diplomats, businesses and civilians across the globe.

Just as significantly, the convulsions in the Middle East and North Africa have laid bare deep divisions within societies, as an old order is upended, and people grapple with what comes next. Peaceful movements have been answered by violence – from those resisting change, and from extremists trying to hijack change. Sectarian conflict has reemerged. And the potential spread of weapons of mass destruction casts a shadow over the pursuit of peace.

Nowhere have we seen these trends converge more powerfully than in Syria. There, peaceful protests against an authoritarian regime were met with repression and slaughter. In the face of carnage, many retreated to their sectarian identity – Alawite and Sunni; Christian and Kurd – and the situation spiraled into civil war. The international community recognized the stakes early on, but our response has not matched the scale of the challenge. Aid cannot keep pace with the suffering of the wounded and displaced. A peace process is still-born. America and others have worked to bolster the moderate opposition, but extremist groups have still taken root to exploit the crisis. Assad’s traditional allies have propped him up, citing principles of sovereignty to shield his regime. And on August 21st, the regime used chemical weapons in an attack that killed more than 1,000 people, including hundreds of children.

The crisis in Syria, and the destabilization of the region, goes to the heart of broader challenges that the international community must now confront. How should we respond to conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa – conflicts between countries, but also conflicts within them? How do we address the choice of standing callously by while children are subjected to nerve gas, or embroiling ourselves in someone else’s civil war? What is the role of force in resolving disputes that threaten the stability of the region and undermine all basic standards of civilized conduct? What is the role of the United Nations, and international law, in meeting cries for justice?

Today, I want to outline where the United States of America stands on these issues. With respect to Syria, we believe that as a starting point, the international community must enforce the ban on chemical weapons. When I stated my willingness to order a limited strike against the Assad regime in response to the brazen use of chemical weapons, I did not do so lightly. I did so because I believe it is in the security interest of the United States and the world to meaningfully enforce a prohibition whose origins are older than the UN itself. The ban against the use of chemical weapons, even in war, has been agreed to by 98 percent of humanity. It is strengthened by the searing memories of soldiers suffocated in the trenches; Jews slaughtered in gas chambers; and Iranians poisoned in the many tens of thousands.

The evidence is overwhelming that the Assad regime used such weapons on August 21st. UN inspectors gave a clear accounting that advanced rockets fired large quantities of sarin gas at civilians. These rockets were fired from a regime-controlled neighborhood, and landed in opposition neighborhoods. It is an insult to human reason – and to the legitimacy of this institution – to suggest that anyone other than the regime carried out this attack.

I know that in the immediate aftermath of the attack, there were those who questioned the legitimacy of even a limited strike in the absence of a clear mandate from the Security Council. But without a credible military threat, the Security Council had demonstrated no inclination to act at all. However, as I’ve discussed with President Putin for over a year, most recently in St. Petersburg, my preference has always been a diplomatic resolution to this issue, and in the past several weeks, the United States, Russia and our allies have reached an agreement to place Syria’s chemical weapons under international control, and then to destroy them.

The Syrian government took a first step by giving an accounting of its stockpiles. Now, there must be a strong Security Council Resolution to verify that the Assad regime is keeping its commitments, and there must be consequences if they fail to do so. If we cannot agree even on this, then it will show that the UN is incapable of enforcing the most basic of international laws. On the other hand, if we succeed, it will send a powerful message that the use of chemical weapons has no place in the 21st century, and that this body means what it says.

Agreement on chemical weapons should energize a larger diplomatic effort to reach a political settlement within Syria. I do not believe that military action – by those within Syria, or by external powers – can achieve a lasting peace. Nor do I believe that America or any nation should determine who will lead Syria – that is for the Syrian people to decide. Nevertheless, a leader who slaughtered his citizens and gassed children to death cannot regain the legitimacy to lead a badly fractured country. The notion that Syria can return to a pre-war status quo is a fantasy. It’s time for Russia and Iran to realize that insisting on Assad’s rule will lead directly to the outcome they fear: an increasingly violent space for extremists to operate. In turn, those of us who continue to support the moderate opposition must persuade them that the Syrian people cannot afford a collapse of state institutions, and that a political settlement cannot be reached without addressing the legitimate fears of Alawites and other minorities.

As we pursue a settlement, let us remember that this is not a zero-sum endeavor. We are no longer in a Cold War. There’s no Great Game to be won, nor does America have any interest in Syria beyond the well-being of its people, the stability of its neighbors, the elimination of chemical weapons, and ensuring it does not become a safe-haven for terrorists. I welcome the influence of all nations that can help bring about a peaceful resolution of Syria’s civil war. And as we move the Geneva process forward, I urge all nations here to step up to meet humanitarian needs in Syria and surrounding countries. America has committed over a billion dollars to this effort, and today, I can announce that we will be providing an additional $340 million. No aid can take the place of a political resolution that gives the Syrian people the chance to begin rebuilding their country – but it can help desperate people survive.

What broader conclusions can be drawn from America’s policy toward Syria? I know there are those who have been frustrated by our unwillingness to use our military might to depose Assad, and believe that a failure to do so indicates a weakening of America’s resolve in the region. Others have suggested that my willingness to direct even limited military strikes to deter the further use of chemical weapons shows that we have learned nothing from Iraq, and that America continues to seek control over the Middle East for our own purposes. In this way, the situation in Syria mirrors a contradiction that has persisted in the region for decades: the United States is chastised for meddling in the region, and accused of having a hand in all manner of conspiracy; at the same time, the United States is blamed for failing to do enough to solve the region’s problems, and for showing indifference toward suffering Muslim populations.

I realize some of this is inevitable, given America’s role in the world. But these attitudes have a practical impact on the American peoples’ support for our involvement in the region, and allow leaders in the region – and the international community – to avoid addressing difficult problems. So let me take this opportunity to outline what has been U.S. policy towards the Middle East and North Africa, and what will be my policy during the remainder of my presidency.

The United States of America is prepared to use all elements of our power, including military force, to secure these core interests in the region.

We will confront external aggression against our allies and partners, as we did in the Gulf War.

We will ensure the free flow of energy from the region to the world. Although America is steadily reducing our own dependence on imported oil, the world still depends upon the region’s energy supply, and a severe disruption could destabilize the entire global economy.

We will dismantle terrorist networks that threaten our people. Wherever possible, we will build the capacity of our partners, respect the sovereignty of nations, and work to address the root causes of terror. But when its necessary to defend the United States against terrorist attacks, we will take direct action.

And finally, we will not tolerate the development or use of weapons of mass destruction. Just as we consider the use of chemical weapons in Syria to be a threat to our own national security, we reject the development of nuclear weapons that could trigger a nuclear arms race in the region, and undermine the global non-proliferation regime.

Now, to say these are America’s core interests is not to say these are our only interests. We deeply believe it is in our interest to see a Middle East and North Africa that is peaceful and prosperous; and will continue to promote democracy, human rights, and open markets, because we believe these practices achieve peace and prosperity. But I also believe that we can rarely achieve these objectives through unilateral American action – particularly with military action. Iraq shows us that democracy cannot be imposed by force. Rather, these objectives are best achieved when we partner with the international community, and with the countries and people of the region.

What does this mean going forward? In the near term, America’s diplomatic efforts will focus on two particular issues: Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. While these issues are not the cause of all the region’s problems, they have been a major source of instability for far too long, and resolving them can help serve as a foundation for a broader peace.

The United States and Iran have been isolated from one another since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. This mistrust has deep roots. Iranians have long complained of a history of US interference in their affairs, and America’s role in overthrowing an Iranian government during the Cold War. On the other hand, Americans see an Iranian government that has declared the United States an enemy, and directly – or through proxies – taken Americans hostage, killed US troops and civilians, and threatened our ally Israel with destruction.

I don’t believe this difficult history can be overcome overnight – the suspicion runs too deep. But I do believe that if we can resolve the issue of Iran’s nuclear program, that can serve as a major step down a long road towards a different relationship – one based on mutual interests and mutual respect.

Since I took office, I have made it clear – in letters to the Supreme Leader in Iran and more recently to President Rouhani – that America prefers to resolve our concerns over Iran’s nuclear program peacefully, but that we are determined to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon. We are not seeking regime change, and we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy. Instead, we insist that the Iranian government meet its responsibilities under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UN Security Council resolutions.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons, and President Rouhani has just recently reiterated that the Islamic Republic will never develop a nuclear weapon.

These statements made by our respective governments should offer the basis for a meaningful agreement. We should be able to achieve a resolution that respects the rights of the Iranian people, while giving the world confidence that the Iranian program is peaceful. To succeed, conciliatory words will have to be matched by actions that are transparent and verifiable. After all, it is the Iranian government’s choices that have led to the comprehensive sanctions that are currently in place. This isn’t simply an issue between America and Iran – the world has seen Iran evade its responsibilities in the past, and has an abiding interest in making sure that Iran meets its obligations in the future.

We are encouraged that President Rouhani received from the Iranian people a mandate to pursue a more moderate course. Given President Rouhani’s stated commitment to reach an agreement, I am directing John Kerry to pursue this effort with the Iranian government, in close coordination with the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China. The roadblocks may prove to be too great, but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested. For while the status quo will only deepen Iran’s isolation, Iran’s genuine commitment to go down a different path will be good for the region and the world, and will help the Iranian people meet their extraordinary potential – in commerce and culture; in science and education.

We are also determined to resolve a conflict that goes back even further than our differences with Iran: the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. I have made clear that the United States will never compromise our commitment to Israel’s security, nor our support for its existence as a Jewish state. Earlier this year, in Jerusalem, I was inspired by young Israelis who stood up for the belief that peace was necessary, just, and possible, and I believe there is a growing recognition within Israel that the occupation of the West Bank is tearing at the democratic fabric of the Jewish state. But the children of Israel have the right to live in a world where the nations assembled in this body fully recognize their country, and unequivocally reject those who fire rockets at their homes or incite others to hate them.

Likewise, the United States remains committed to the belief that the Palestinian people have a right to live with security and dignity in their own sovereign state. On the same trip, I had the opportunity to meet with young Palestinians in Ramallah whose ambition and potential are matched by the pain they feel in having no firm place in the community of nations. They are understandably cynical that real progress will ever be made, and frustrated by their families enduring the daily indignity of occupation. But they recognize that two states is the only real path to peace: because just as the Palestinian people must not be displaced, the state of Israel is here to stay.

The time is now ripe for the entire international community to get behind the pursuit of peace. Already, Israeli and Palestinian leaders have demonstrated a willingness to take significant political risks. President Abbas has put aside efforts to short-cut the pursuit of peace and come to the negotiating table. Prime Minister Netanyahu has released Palestinian prisoners, and reaffirmed his commitment to a Palestinian state. Current talks are focused on final status issues of borders and security, refugees and Jerusalem.

Now the rest of us must also be willing to take risks. Friends of Israel, including the United States, must recognize that Israel’s security as a Jewish and democratic state depends upon the realization of a Palestinian state. Arab states – and those who have supported the Palestinians – must recognize that stability will only be served through a two-state solution with a secure Israel. All of us must recognize that peace will be a powerful tool to defeat extremists, and embolden those who are prepared to build a better future. Moreover, ties of trade and commerce between Israelis and Arabs could be an engine of growth and opportunity at a time when too many young people in the region are languishing without work. So let us emerge from the familiar corners of blame and prejudice, and support Israeli and Palestinian leaders who are prepared to walk the difficult road to peace.

Real breakthroughs on these two issues – Iran’s nuclear program, and Israeli-Palestinian peace – would have a profound and positive impact on the entire Middle East and North Africa. But the current convulsions arising out of the Arab Spring remind us that a just and lasting peace cannot be measured only by agreements between nations. It must also be measured by our ability to resolve conflict and promote justice within nations. And by that measure, it is clear to all of us that there is much more work to be done.

When peaceful transitions began in Tunisia and Egypt, the entire world was filled with hope. And although the United States – like others – was struck by the speed of transition, and did not – in fact could not – dictate events, we chose to support those who called for change. We did so based on the belief that while these transitions will be hard, and take time, societies based upon democracy and openness and the dignity of the individual will ultimately be more stable, more prosperous, and more peaceful.

Over the last few years, particularly in Egypt, we’ve seen just how hard this transition will be. Mohammed Morsi was democratically elected, but proved unwilling or unable to govern in a way that was fully inclusive. The interim government that replaced him responded to the desires of millions of Egyptians who believed the revolution had taken a wrong turn, but it too has made decisions inconsistent with inclusive democracy – through an emergency law, and restrictions on the press, civil society, and opposition parties.

Of course, America has been attacked by all sides of this internal conflict, simultaneously accused of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, and engineering their removal from power. In fact, the United States has purposely avoided choosing sides. Our over-riding interest throughout these past few years has been to encourage a government that legitimately reflects the will of the Egyptian people, and recognizes true democracy as requiring a respect for minority rights, the rule of law, freedom of speech and assembly, and a strong civil society.

That remains our interest today. And so, going forward, the United States will maintain a constructive relationship with the interim government that promotes core interests like the Camp David Accords and counter-terrorism. We will continue support in areas like education that benefit the Egyptian people. But we have not proceeded with the delivery of certain military systems, and our support will depend upon Egypt’s progress in pursuing a democratic path.

Our approach to Egypt reflects a larger point: the United States will at times work with governments that do not meet the highest international expectations, but who work with us on our core interests. But we will not stop asserting principles that are consistent with our ideals, whether that means opposing the use of violence as a means of suppressing dissent, or supporting the principles embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We will reject the notion that these principles are simply Western exports, incompatible with Islam or the Arab World - they are the birthright of every person. And while we recognize that our influence will at times be limited; although we will be wary of efforts to impose democracy through military force, and will at times be accused of hypocrisy or inconsistency – we will be engaged in the region for the long haul. For the hard work of forging freedom and democracy is the task of a generation.

This includes efforts to resolve sectarian tensions that continue to surface in places like Iraq, Syria and Bahrain. Ultimately, such long-standing issues cannot be solved by outsiders; they must be addressed by Muslim communities themselves. But we have seen grinding conflicts come to an end before – most recently in Northern Ireland, where Catholics and Protestants finally recognized that an endless cycle of conflict was causing both communities to fall behind a fast-moving world.

In sum, the United States has a hard-earned humility when it comes to our ability to determine events inside other countries. The notion of American empire may be useful propaganda, but it isn’t borne out by America’s current policy or public opinion. Indeed, as the recent debate within the United States over Syria clearly showed, the danger for the world is not an America that is eager to immerse itself in the affairs of other countries, or take on every problem in the region as its own. The danger for the world is that the United States, after a decade of war; rightly concerned abou

And why should Israel or the American citizens listen to this President after his Syria Fiasco?

In agreement with you Victory Chanter, when I heard our President, I thought oh no, now what will happen to America next?

See John McTernan about 'as America has done to Israel'.

This is starting to look like a telenovela to me, where nothing anyone does makes much sense or has any real benefit and they themselves don't know why they do what they choose to do. They just go around everyone's backs and stir, stir, stir drama.



Our hope is that the Lord has final say in everything.

I honestly thought the church would not be here witnessing the absurdity of humanity's worship of lies ~~

the world is utterly insane, blind to Righteousness ~~ the devil, gaining his foothold one last time upon Israel, is spiraling head long toward the abyss, having his head crushed when Jesus returns ~~ amazing times, amazingly even more on this planet, evil is blatantly proud to call good evil and evil good ~~

~ what lies!!

'...US president scolds world body for inaction on Syria..."

--- Um, it's you who started the inaction with going back on your word, since you still have the power to do something in Syria, without ever involving Congress, but why are you persuing this if the world has already made its decision? Other agenda?

Dear Brother John, it looks like Jerry Springer on a national scale.
Our comfort and hope is that God is not snared in the tangles of nations. God knew all from the beginning and is allowing all this to sift, sift, and sift again the nations. Light and Dark. Wheat and Tares. Trees that bear fruit, trees that do not bear fruit. He is going after the lost sheep and will show His power before all nations as He did when Pharoah was overthrown, all his chariots destroyed.
Why? Just to have a huge fireworks display? Of course not.
God's plan is to save men, that men see the salvation of the Lord, power, authority of the Lord and believe.
It is written that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Come quickly Lord Jesus

I agree.

wow ...they have really cracked up .
America should remove herself from "the table" , we are
no longer capable of handling diplomacy of other countries or with other countries . We can't handle our own ....given over to a reprobate mind(minds ).

The world...Its like the lunatics are now running the asylum.

But hey, rather than take responsibility for the way things are, the whole world is lining up to blame little tiny Israel for all its problems:

For they the world says;

No don't blame Russia for sponsoring terrorism, selling Nuke tech to Iran, Syria, Iraq, its not Russia's fault.

No don't blame Iran, its only trying to achieve self determination and self rights before the world. Especially against those in the west who only want to enslave Iran into its colonial system.

No don't blame China, they only want to Achieve first nation status, and be a Superpower like the US. After all its only right since after what the English, and Japanese did to them in the past.

No Don't blame Europe, they only want to become more one, and embrace a one world of peace and Harmony, without the Judea Christian God, but fallow the likes of past German philosophers like Nietzsche. They only want to include most of the mid east in their grand scheme of peace and security. This of course includes Israel (Palestine) into their Revived Roman Empire. It only means of course that Israel would be flooded with millions of illegals who would all but wipe out the Jewish state demographically...oh well peace and membership to the EU has its price, get over yourselves Israel.

No Dont blame South America either, Chaves, Castro and the like kind of Banana republic socialists dictators only want to make their name great, lift their people outta poverty via communistic style socialism. So what if a few hundred thousand innocent people disappear like the did in Argentina in the process, that's social justice and progress after all. Besides the USA made them do it.

No don't blame Japan either, they only want the oil, its not their fault that the oil happens to be from Iran, and that Israel objects to it. They need the oil more badly than ever, and will go so far as to scrap their avowed constitution of no wars abroad, and weapons of self defense only to get it, keep it, make sure the supply is safe.

No don't blame the USA. That country only wants world peace, at any cost. Thinks that Israel should make all the compromises. After all that was done for them in America, Israel should just agree 100 percent to its leaders Demands, and give up anything asked of it. Besides all that its in the best interest of the USA to make sure China and Russia are happy with it. The cold war is over after all, and besides American corporations need cheap Chinese goods to sell to people in USA. Besides the world is interdependent now, and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (sorry Israel, that means you are the few). Its a big job being a superpower, besides no one understands the mid east problems, so peace must be enforced by someone. Besides all that USA has a right to tell others how to behave. Never mind the USA funding Moslem brotherhood, helping Al Qaeda in Syria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt. Its all in the name of Democracy and freedom, so what if those same groups want Israel voted off the planet, its bigger than you Israel, get over yourselves.

All these countries are innocent, they never did anything wrong.

Its all Israels fault, they did everything wrong by wanting to live, to keep all their land, build settlements for its people to live in, to exist in real peace and security, which sad to say the world although at times promotes and promises that to them, will never deliver. But will soon force Israel one way or another to sign a covenant with death. Or in other words sign such a one sided peace and security agreement that has at the final result a plan by the whole world to sign off on its doom.

Now that Israel is regathered/ continues to be regathered back into its God given land, the whole world is also gathering against it. The whole world is not going to just be gathered itself to be against Israel, But be gathered against the God of Israel.

Any country who fights Israel's right to exist is not fighting tiny Israel, as if its just another man made state, its Fighting God Himself, who created the State of Israel.

Therefore the whole world is Guilty, guilty before Almighty God.

No matter how much the whole world blames Israel blames the God of Israel, in a game of blame the victim the whole world is to blame and will soon be made to be called into account.

I still do not understand how congress and the senate are going along with all this? If nothing else, they have to be concerned about the future of their families. Why is everyone silent and going along? Surely not everyone can be delusional!

Victory Chanter: I am glad you mentioned the fact that God is surely going to react to this speech of O's, I had forgotten that part.

It really is Amazing how the whole world is going along with calling good evil and evil good.

Are we now seeing the Strong Delusion, so that all who don't believe will believe in the Great Lie? Therefore caught in the great snare that is now ensnaring the whole world?

Is this what we are seeing a big part of the Great lie. Its like "see, everything is going to be ok, the world war has been avoided, there will be peace now in our time, see we are all going to get along, nothing is wrong with anyone, except Israel, who stubbornly refuses to get with the program--they must be forced to agree if need be to keep the peace at any costs."

Its like the whole world has become like Germany was towards the Jews in the 1930's.

We all know how well that went.

Now its looking like its WW3 time.

WW3 = Tribulation?

Most likely it will be, especially when the 2nd horse man gets released.

They are all crying peace and safety (false). The sudden destruction cannot be afar off.

The Rapture therefore must be even closer.

Lord Jesus, come now, Your Bride Awaits. Father God, please release your son to come get his Bride.

Iranian president: World should focus not just on preventing states from acquiring nuclear arms, but also on disarming countries that have WMDs; calls for a conference on "complete elimination" of WMDs within 5 years.

NEW YORK - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani denounced the proliferation, use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons on Thursday, in his first extensive speech on nuclear arms since assuming office.

Calling for a "nuclear-free zone" in the Middle East, Rouhani said that Israel was the only country in the region that had not yet signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and requested that it do so "without delay."

Iran clearly calling out Israel before the whole world (at the UN)

A not so veiled jab at Israel.

In other words the new Iran strategy is really simple. Look like a gentle co-operative lamb before the west in regards to its own nuke program. Then call on the whole world for peace and security. After the whole world agrees to this "peace initiative" to disarm Israel. Once Israel is disarmed, de-clawed and helpless, Attack Israel on all sides with everything they got, with all kinds of countries by your side in battle.

Oh wait, I remember reading that somewhere..oh that's right..that would be the AC coming along to make firm the peace (is this the peace, or part of it?). Then come and attack.

Oh that would be the Ezekiel 38 and 39 battle, with Iran leading the Charge forward. That would also most likely be the 2nd horse, the second seal of Revelations being opened. That would be WW3.

One other thing, why not extend the 5 year idea out to say 7 years?

That would be the length of the trib, also the length of the treaty the AC makes strong with the many.

Tick Tock, no more time left on the ol clock.

Pastor JD says it well in this weeks Prophecy update, "we're to learn from history but it seems its the one thing we haven't learned from."

Yes, Bonnie, they've been given over to depraved minds. Unfortunately, this is our leaders.

So the world crashes as the NWO rises. Bush #1 mentioned this on 9-11 and look where we've fallen since then! The whole world seems intent on following this demonic pattern. They've been so deceived and refuse to listen to anyone who still has some semblance of common sense and their eyes wide open.

Rieom, Yes, God will act on this but it is also part of His plan to wake people up and give them one more chance to accept Him as Lord and Savior. Much is coming at us and will follow each other in quick sequence now. The Lord will protect us but what we see I fear will break our hearts. Now is the time to reach others for Christ when these things start to pass. This world is full of evil and can't continue the way it is going. He will intervene to let His wrath be known. Not as bad as after the rapture but I think much sorrow is ahead for many ..just prior to it. Hopefully, He'll have their attention then and we can add souls to the kingdom in a final late harvest move. He will protect and provide for us during this time. But it doesn't mean we won't be heart broken at what we see around us. Thankfully we know He is always with us even if it doesn't always feel like it. I sense some very dark days ahead before the rapture.

I am convinced that our POTUS is being influenced by demonic activity that we cannot even begin to phathom. :( Praying for him, but we all know the time's we are living in and this should be even more reason to pray for Israel's safety....for we know the Lord will take care of His!

Nothing surprises me anymore that comes out of Washington...let's all lift up our leaders in prayer for our time here is short!

Blessings & love ya'll~
