The Trumpet knew about how Iran would benefit from the Iraq War when that war began in 2003. In fact, we knew about it a decade before that! In our July 1992Trumpet, we quoted the Islamic Affairs Analyst of May 13, 1992: “The main strategic aim of Iran is to dominate the Persian Gulf and environs.”
Then, in December 1994, Mr. Flurry asked in a headline, “Is Iraq About to Fall to Iran?” He asked the same question in the June 2003 issue of the Trumpet.
The Bible discusses the “king of the south,” radical Islam led by Iran, as a terrorizing and dominating power in the region. This is why the Trumpet knew Iran would eventually dominate its biggest enemy at the time, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. We knew that America’s removal of Hussein would empower Iran more. We knew about Iran’s history of lies and duplicity. The Trumpet has always known about how irrational Iran’s leaders are. We knew about Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions—just like President Obama does. But unlike the president, we know that Iran will not be stopped from pursuing its efforts by a nuclear deal. In fact, the Bible reveals what will ultimately and permanently stop Iran: full-scale war!
