Psalm 83

Psalm 83

3 With cunning they conspire against your people; 
   they plot against those you cherish. 
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, 
   so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

Ahmadinejad, president of Iran is leading an alliance of Israel's enemies towards an attack on Israel. He is developing a nuclear capability, thought to be related.

 5 With one mind they plot together; 
   they form an alliance against you— 
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, 
   of Moab and the Hagrites, 
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, 
   Philistia, with the people of Tyre. 

Note the last two can be related to Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

8 Even Assyria has joined them 
   to reinforce Lot’s descendants.

Assyria was a border area including todays northern Iraq and Iran.

Iran has funded and trained Hezbollah and Hamas fighters, arming Lebanon and Gaza with 10,000's missiles and rockets, many via Syria.

In January 2011 Hezbollah and Iran took control of the government in Lebanon.


Following events in Egypt in February 2011 Iran is working with its allies to ?link with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and secure North Sinai as part of a future Palestinian State. Egypt has been responsible for securing Israel's southern border and this is now vulnerable.
