| The world is waiting to see how Israel will retaliate against Iran for their missile strike against Israel on the first of October. Israel claims that it will be a devasting and unexpected blow against Iran. News commentators are all speculating on the possible targets that Israel may hit. Iran’s nuclear facilities, oil infrastructure, or Iran’s missile launching infrastructure are some possibilities. Israel’s retaliatory strike may happen any day soon just like the long anticipated “rapture.” America and other G7 nations are worried that if Israel should destroy Iran’s oil infrastructure, the repercussions of that could very well cause oil prices to spike affecting the world economy. This is particularly true if Iran should attack the oil infrastructure of other oil producing nations in the Persian Gulf in retaliation. Iran has deep underground bunkers to protect their military weapons and nuclear facilities that are believed to be Iran’s ticket for producing nuclear weapons. Does Israel have the capability for effectively striking any deep underground bunkers which are also shielded by rugged mountains? The first video linked below demonstrates the various bunker busting bombs in the U.S. military arsenal. We know that Israel used several heavy bombs to bust down over 60 feet deep to take out Hezbollah leadership recently in Beirut, Lebanon. This tactic would probably not be successful against the deep Iranian bunkers, especially when Israeli aircraft would need to fly long distances to reach their targets in Iran. Near the end of the bunker buster bomb video, it mentions the use of nuclear warheads for reaching the deepest and better fortified bunkers. Does Israel possess nuclear warheads for hitting Iran’s underground bunkers? Israel has remained silent on whether or not it possesses nuclear weapons. Fearing the unknown can be a helpful deterrent to use against your enemies. As in playing poker, you don’t allow the other players to know what cards you are holding in your hand until all bets are final. There are those who are betting against Israel and want to call its bluff. The second video is an example. I gave it a thumbs down. Well, we will soon see if Israel is bluffing. While watching that second video it caused me to realize that Israel may at long last reveal its hand to put the “fear of God” in the Iranian leadership which seeks Israel’s destruction. Is a potential nuclear strike by Israel against Iran found in Bible prophecy? This may be what Zechariah five is showing us. I thought it was depicting a nuclear attack against Israel as I have discussed in previous articles. But with current developments, it may be depicting a nuclear attack against Israel’s enemies. Verses 5 through 11 of Zechariah 5 mention a “woman” in a basket with a lead cover. As I have noted in other articles, the Hebrew word for “woman” could be translated as “fire.” That’s because Hebrew is written without vowels. Depending on which vowel is added determines whether the verses should mean “fire” or “woman.” Zechariah five may be describing a nuclear weapon. This basket or weapon is carried away on “wings,” which could be depicting aircraft. Time will tell if any of these interpretations have any merit. Regardless, we are entering uncertain times which demand our attention and spiritual readiness for we do not know what tomorrow may bring.
