Assassination: Israel Does It Again

 I do not rejoice that a man and an obviously talented Iranian Scientist was killed.  The deep sorrow that Mohsen Fakrizadeh's family felt must have been very painful and will never be forgotten.  Worst still -- Mr Fakrizadeh not only lost his life; he also lost his soul to an endless Hell if he did not have Jesus Christ dwelling in his heart by faith.  (This would apply to all -- whether Moslem,  Jew, Gentile).

Mr Fakrizadeh was a recognized Enemy of Jews.  His country's top goal was to totally obliterate Israel from off the face of the Earth no matter what or how long it took.  I am awed by the guts and timing  and patience this operation must have taken on the part of his Assassins.  Just one more reason I want our country to be on the side of Israel. 

How Israel Once Again Infiltrated & Embarrassed Iran

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.  (Romans 3)

Protesters in Tehran clash with riot police as they demand the Ayatollah RESIGNS and call for regime change after Iran finally admits to shooting down jet and killing 176 people - NTEB

PRESIDENT TRUMP ORDERS PENTAGON TO TAKE OUT TOP IRANIAN GENERAL IN STUNNING AIRSTRIKE: Talk about a difference, President Trump isn’t playing around not even one tiny, little bit. This administration is the polar opposite of how Barack Obama conducted business, allowing Iran to virtually walk all over us at every given opportunity. Mere days after pro-Iranian militia attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad, President Trump has ordered a precision strike on the top Quds Force general, and now he’s dead. Of course, the only problem this raises now is that war with Iran is becoming an ever-increasing and high likelihood. We’ve been telling you for months that 2020 is going to be a wild and out of control type of year, and that is exactly what we have been seeing all week. -- Now the End Begins
