"The Relationship Between Russia and Iran"

What if Nazi Germany had developed the atomic bomb? The prospect is unthinkable. Would there be an Israel today? Would there be any Jews today?

Today, the modern day Haman, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, has threatened on several occasions to wipe Israel of the map, and it is well known that his country is trying to develop nuclear weapons.There are different estimates as to how long it would be until Iran would be able to join the nuclear club, however, the Daily Telegraph in the UK had a headline that read: "North Korea helping Iran with nuclear testing.

"The Telegraph also reported that: "Under the terms of a new understanding between the two countries, the North Koreans have agreed to share all the data and information they received from their successful test last October with Teheran's nuclear scientists." With the help of North Korea Iran could have the bomb much faster. It's crunch time, the sea and the waves are roaring and it is a fearful time in the earth.

There are signs that the United States is preparing for a confrontation with Iran. as reported that the USA has sent another Aircraft Carrier to the Gulf. It is very doubtful that either the United States or Israel want any kind of a conflict with Iran at the moment, they are both up to their eyes with other problems, however they are being forced into a corner.

It was also reported today on the Jerusalem Post website that Iran has received Russian Missiles for air defense. The system purchased by Iran is the Tor-M1, a high-precision missile system designed to destroy aircraft, manned or unmanned, and cruise missiles. Russia is also building the Bushehr reactor in Iran. As Europe is becoming increasingly dependent on Russia for natural gas and oil, Iran is even more dependent for political backing, weapons and defense. In fact, at any moment Russia could pull the plug on Iran's nuclear program. Why don't they?


There are probably two answers: Simple economics and control. Russia has about 6% of the world's oil reserves while Iran is sitting on about 10%. I'll bet that Russia would like control of that 10%. Yes, I think Russia would like control of Iran. When we turn to Ezekiel 38 we find Persia in verse 5 with those other fairly easy to identify nations Ethiopia and Libya. They are part of Gog's/Russia's company and he is a guard to them just the same as the rest of the company with him. The Hebrew word translated guard means custody or guard. So the idea is that Gog/Russia has guardianship over his entire company, he is the absolute ruler or autocrat.

Consider the authority he will have over the European continent, but he will have equal authority of Iran. Today Iran is slipping into Russia's grasp. It just maybe that as military threats and sanctions build against Iran, Russia will volunteer to take control and stabilize the situation -- and all because of a nuclear reactor that Russia so graciously provided.

Does Russia want Iran to have nuclear warheads? Probably not, but it does want control of Iran ...... We will have to watch closely as the inevidable will indeed unfold before our eyes.....
