God bless (and have mercy on) America!

This news is 3 days old, but I don't think I mentioned it yet here -

DEBKAfile Reports: Two US carrier-strike groups are bound for Persian Gulf region, bringing number back to three Our sources note that with their arrival, three American naval, air and marine forces will again confront Iranian shores at a time of crisis in the military and civilian leadership of Iran - signaled by the abrupt change of Revolutionary Guards Corps commanders, rising Israel-Syrian tensions and a troubled situation in Lebanon.

So, if this is true, Debkafile is reporting 4 US aircraft carriers in the region: 3 opposite the shores of Iran in the Persian Gulf, and 1 (the USS Kearsarge Expeditionary Strike Group) off the shores of Lebanon. So let me get this straight:

• Germany doesn't support any more UN sanctions on Iran;
• Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards are attacking the US in Iraq;
• Syria and Israel are about to (or are) at war over the Golan. Israel just completed an airstike against Syria - possibly against a North Korean sponsored nuclear facility of some sort;
• Hamas is firing qassam missiles at Israel from Gaza, and has re-armed to the teeth with Iranian weapons.
• Hezb'allah has re-armed after last summer's war with Israel with Iranian/Syrian/Russian/Chinese weapons.
• The US is reviewing "carpet-bombing" scenarios against Iran, and with three carrier strike groups off Iran's shores, I don't doubt they could do an efficient job of it. But there's a small problem with annihilating Iran:
• Iran has literally billions of dollars in contracts in nuclear and oil with Russia and China respectively. I'm not a trade expert, but they won't like it too much if the US obliterates their major trading partner.
• It should also be mentioned here that Russia's Putin is acting like a Czar, and China has massively increased spending on its military.

• Am I wrong in saying Zechariah 12 and Joel 3 (etc) are here, and this age is about to end...and Christ is about to come for his elect (Matthew 24:31) , to restore all of Israel, and to end all this nonsense?
• I can't stress this enough: PREPARE YOUR HEARTS!!! (Luke 21:36)
  

Luk 21:29	Then He told them a parable: "Behold the fig tree and all the trees;
Luk 21:30	as soon as they put forth {leaves,} you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. [fig tree = Israel]
Luk 21:31	"So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.
Luk 21:32	"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.
Luk 21:33	"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Luk 21:34	"Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
Luk 21:35	for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.
Luk 21:36	"But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Zec 12:3

"It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

Joel 3:1	"For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joel 3:2	I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.
