IRAN TESTFIRES MISSLE

We see in Ezekiel 38 that Iran will come against Israel in the future. So these missles tests are just the beggining of trouble in the Mideast.

Ezikiel 38:1-9
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Here we see RUSSIA the leader of this future muslim horde going to Israel to destroy them. And notice in verse 5 we see Persia (IRAN) in that horde. As well as other muslim nations. RUSSIA the leader, IRAN, IRAQ, ETHIOPIA, LIBYA, GERMANY, TURKEY, SUDAN AND PARTS OF AFRICA.

Why would these Muslim want Israel destroyed? Well in Psalms we see what Iran and the Muslims are calling for.

Psalms 83:3-5
3 They (ARAB NATIONS) have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Russia is supplying all these Muslim countries with weapons against Israel, the whole world is decieved into thinking Russia is a peaceful democracy and now we see Russia gave Iraq warning of the 2003 war before the states attacked.

Its all a Deception Russia will be the leader of the Muslims when they march to Israel in the future. And Egypt will be the leader of the muslim countries until then.

Iran says missile it fired can reach Israel

Invisible to radar, too: Israel and the United States warn that it's a sign of a country with aggressive plans The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's military said Friday it successfully test fired a missile not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously, a development that raised concerns in the United States and Israel. The Fajr-3, which means ''victory'' in Farsi, can reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East, Iranian state media indicated.

The announcement of the test firing is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's military intentions and nuclear ambitions. I think it demonstrates that Iran has a very active and aggressive military program under way,'' State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said in Washington. ''I think Iran's military posture, military development effort, is of concern to the international community.

Gen. Hossein Salami, the air force chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, did not specify the missile's range but said how far it can travel depends on the weight of its warheads. But state-run television described the weapon as ''ballistic'' - suggesting it is of comparable range to Iran's existing ballistic rocket, which can travel about 1,200 miles and reach arch-foe Israel and U.S. bases in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region. 'Today, a remarkable goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran's defense forces was realized with the successful test firing of a new missile with greater technical and tactical capabilities than those previously produced,'' Salami said on television.

A brief clip of the missile's launch was shown. 'It can avoid anti-missile missiles and strike the target,'' said Salami. He said the missile would carry a multiple warhead, and each warhead would be capable of hitting its target precisely. This news causes much concern, and that concern is shared by many countries in the international community, about Iran's aggressive nuclear weapons program and her parallel efforts to develop delivery systems, both in the field of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles,'' said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev.

The combination of extremist jihadist ideology, together with nuclear weapons and delivery systems, is a combination that no one in the international community can be complacent about,'' he said. Yossi Alpher, an Israeli consultant on the Mideast peace process, said the news ''escalates the arms race between Iran and all those who are concerned about Iran's aggressive
intentions and nuclear potential. Clearly it's escalation, and also an attempt by Iran to flex its muscles as it goes into a new phase of the diplomatic struggle with the U.N. Security Council.

Andy Oppenheimer, a weapons expert at Jane's Information Group, said the missile test could be an indication that Iran has MIRV capability, which are intercontinental ballistic missiles with several warheads, each of which could be directed to a different target. From the description, it could be a MIRV. If you are saying that from a single missile, separate warheads can
be independently targeted then yes, this is significant,'' he said. If the missile is adaptable for nuclear warheads, then they are well on the way,'' he added. ''But they have not made a nuclear
warhead yet.

The current estimates are it could take five years. Iran's existing ballistic rocket is called Shahab-3, which means ''shooting star.'' It is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Israel and the United States have jointly developed the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system in response to the Shahab-3.
