Exactly. When I read of anyone saying that Israel is going to be utterly destroyed, I remember my Bible and what the Lord God has said, over and over again...Israel is Mine. I will never completely forsake her, and I will defend her" (my paraphrase).

If Israel is wiped off the map and its' inhabitants killed, then (in my view) the Bible is a dead document and there is no God. If that's the case, there's no reason the whole world shouldn't just devolve into barbaric madness.

I believe that Israel is going to attack, and I think they're going to win so unbelievably huge that it'll stun the world.

Meanwhile you have to go through the Seven Seals and the Seven Trumphets.Yes, God wins and sends Satan “into the lake of fire”

Its called tbe Samson Option. It has been written about in two books: “The Samson Option” and “The Bomb in the Basement”.

Yup, the Brits are seeing that coming to a head in the Faulkland Islands too.

Israel needs to worry about reality. Not believe in fairy tales .

[jmacusa]

Yeah, I’m aware of it. It’s just that years ago I heard it referred to as the “Goliath Option’’. In any event it’ll be a nuclear Massada.

[U-238]

The seven seals (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5), seven trumpets (Revelation 8:6-21, 11:15-19), and seven bowls/vials (Revelation 16:1-21) are three succeeding series of end-times judgments from God.

[U-238]

I agree. They would do it.

[jmacusa]

I couldn’t imagine the mullahs in Iran being that crazy as to allow one man, ‘’Amadeani-whatever -his-name-is’’ to drag them all to Hell by doing something like this. Any Iranian Army officer with an ounce of brains, especially any who have ever lived in the US or studied here would have to know they’d be dead in a hour after a first launch. Anything is possible with bat-poop crazy Saracens but I’d have to think if it ever came to it the mullahs or at least one Army officer with the will to live would pull out a pistol and shoot Amadeani in the head.

There has been several times between the US and USSR(Russia) in the last 60 years, both sides has come close to launching a nuclear attack. Read the book "War Scare" by Peter Pry. It chronicles several periods that the USSR has almost pulled the trigger because of false radar ecoes, errant missile tests,coupt etats,etc. In 1979, an Air Force airman loaded a wrong program in NORAD command computers that caused an serious alarm.To this day, both sides are ready to launch a nuclear war at a moments notice.

The conflict you so eloquently described herein, could be paralleled to the following video.

Here you have the - (1) instigators, (2) the forceful response to the aggressive instigation, and (3) the Stop! Stop! Stop — Western voice.

And in case you’re wondering. The responder was acquitted of his actions! Please forgive my first video link, I hope my attaching it meets protocols:

Dagan is a leftist idiot.
I wrote the following in 2010 about the US, but the logic applies to Israel. http://nycright.blogspot.com/2010/08/nuclear-iran-means-nuked-american-city.html

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Not “The Samson Option”. The “Big Bang Theory”.

Either way, it’s gonna be one helluva show, and a lot less Moslems to worry about.

[U-238]

The “Samson Option” is just the Israeli version of a doomsday machine.

[Nebr FAL owner]

There are more ways to skin a cat besides sticking it’s head in a boot jack & pulling real hard on the tail, the Israeli’s understand this. Ideally the Iranians will have a work related accident while preparing the nuke for testing taking out lots of the Iranian brain trust/production facility.

The Samson option would mean the Israelis were all dead too. Maybe some version of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) would work—if the Iranian leaders know that the Israelis will 10 Iranians for every one Israeli they kill (just using that figure because Iran has about 10 times as many people), they might be more deterred by that than by feeble warnings from the UN or the White House.

Ten to one is too low a ratio. The Iranian people should know that, should their country force the Samson option, the largest concentration of living Iranians would reside in Tehrangeles, CA.
