Iran faces heat for its nuke programme
Vienna, Nov 28: With Board of Governors Meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passing a resolution on Friday, Nov 27 on Iran nuclear issue, the United Nation's nuclear watchdog agency slammed Tehran for failing to resolve unanswered questions about its nuclear program.

The resolution that requires Tehran to mothball its new nuclear facility along with following UN Security Council resolutions and stop uranium enrichment, came after 25 nations including India, out of the IAEA's 35-nation decision-making board voted in Vienna.

The resolution against Iran by the IAEA, which is the first since Feb 2006, saw backing from six super powers the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, indicating a rare unity in policy against Iran.

However, Iran defiance was verbalised by the country's chief representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who said that Tehran his country would resist 'pressure, resolutions, sanction(s) and threat of military attack'.

Iran should not arouse concern. Georgia is the most dangerous flashpoint. The Bible says: "At the appointed time [the king of the north = Russia] will return back [will regain the influence, which it lost after the break-up of the Soviet Union] and come into the south [many indicate that this might be Georgia], but it will not be as the former [1921] or as the latter [2008]. For the dwellers of coastlands of Kittim [the West] will come against him, and he will be humbled, and will return." (Daniel 11:29,30a) Then Iran will be humbled also. "But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur [Russia] and troubling Eber [inhabiting on the other side the Euphrates]." (Numbers 24:24a, BBE) At that time, peace will be taken from the earth and the "great sword" - nuclear sword - will be used. (Revelation 6:4) However, it will be neither the great tribulation nor "the end of the world" (Armageddon). As Jesus foretold, that will be "the beginning of birth pains". (Mathew 24:7,8) If the Heavens planned a full return of Russia (and much suggests this) the present economic crisis will deepen. Then also the European Union and NATO will not stands. In the same way the earlier prophecy had fulfilled: "And (he) [the king of the north = Russia] will go back (to) his land with great wealth [1945]; and his heart (will be) against the holy covenant [state atheism]; and will act effectively; and turned back to his own land [the break-up of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact, the return of Russian troops to country]." (Daniel 11:28)
