Iran suggests “punch” will stun West on Feb. 11 – Update

What the heck is going on in Iran? I’m going to guess this will end up being a non-story, or more likely something the “West” already saw coming. I don’t expect a nuclear bomb test or major terrorist attack on Feb. 11.

But what could it be? Nobody is speculating, so maybe it’s just words to get everyone into a party atmosphere to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. Bring your hard hats, blows to the brain can kill.

See the update at the bottom of this post.

Update 2: Click here to get punched … well at least to see my new post on the subject.

From Breitbart, with my emphasis in bold.

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a “punch” that will stun world powers during this week’s 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

“The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned,” Khamenei, who is also Iran’s commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.

We already know they are going for a higher enrichment of uranium, but delivering a “punch” can be something tactical like a terrorist attack, or launching a one-time rocket up and over Iraq, Jordan and Israel into the Med. It could also be more strategic like suggesting they will launch a world-wide Navy including an aircraft carrier, maybe a commercial  satellite launch service, or even announcing they will land on the moon within 10 years.

Who the heck knows. Remember, the supreme leader announced he was certain annihilation for Israel was near.

Even the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is on board with the Feb. 11 date. He announced a “harsh blow” on Iran’s Press TV six days ago. Hat tip to Sweetness & Light, but many others discussed Ahmadinejad’s proclamation last week.

I find it interesting he’s talking about being trapped in materialism. Keep that in mind when the big announcement comes forth.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the nation will deliver a harsh blow to the “global arrogance” on this year’s anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

“The Islamic Revolution opened a window to liberty for the human race, which was trapped in the dead ends of materialism,” Ahmadinejad said during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

“If the Islamic Revolution had not occurred, liberalism and Marxism would have crushed all human dignity in their power-seeking and money-grubbing claws. Nothing would have remained of human and spiritual principles,” he added.

Update: News reports a-plenty concerning Iran’s new “attack” drones and an air defense system. Last year it was noted Iran had squat for air defense, and could not get Russia to agree to provide them with a system. In March of last year, Iran had drones flying in Iraqi airspace that turned out to be good target practice for the US military.

    I posted last week to pay attention to this threat as it is very serious . The number 211   in Judeo Christian gematria means "God of Recompense" which is found in the Bible Jeremiah 51:56. The whole chapter of 51 speaks of Iraq gathering into iteself a foreign people who fill the land with sin. God then executes a BIG  destruction  to render justice for all the evil taken place in Zion. ….211  means mighty warrior….  to burn or sink down…and   means the lion and the zodiac sign of Leo. The Lion is a traditional symbol of Iran . The planet Mars which in astrology represents the God of War is presently in the house of Leo. As above so below is an ancient modus operandi of nefarious deeds. America needs to take this threat with the highest urgency. So much as one missle being erected on an Iranian launch  pad needs to be striken down. If an Iraq town is going to be bombed, some people in Iraq who are working for Iran will be tipped off and be seen leaving the city with all their belongings packed. Look for suspicious signs of exodus or movements of people on 2/10. This is not a time to be lax and asleep on the spying or hesitant to take bold actions.

    Iran: what can one say?  The leadership has spent decades fostering hatred against Israel and the west.  They have put hands and feet on their rhetoric: sponsoring terrorist groups, engineering attacks and wars against Israel (the "little" satan – we're the Big Satan in their eyes) preparing WMD for use against other western nations.  And what does western leadership do?  Basically nothing but "tut-tut," and handicap Israel from any ability to protect themselves from annihilation until it's virtually too late.

    Don's comment was interesting because the Bible is filled with prophecies concerning a judgement work against accumulated sin and evil on the earth.  Many appear to be in the process of being fulfilled during our times.  In the Scriptures, God has oftne allowed other "ungodly" nations to "wake up" His people, in the hopes they will turn back to Him.  In the west, supposedly Christian nations have made everything their priority but God, truth, and moral standards – we see the results all around us.  We may be better off going back to much more basic life-styles and seriously examining ourselves to see if we truly "be in the faith," or if lip service only is being paid to God.  Presidents and politicians seem to end a speech by saying "God bless America."  We need to change that to "America bless God" or more serious trouble is on the way.

    We do not need a fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophesy at this time. A nuclear blast would fulfill 51:61 to make babylon unfit for man or beast and desolate forever. The stage  is set in great detail. 51:27 speaks of a gathering of Ararat, Minni and Ash'chenaz kingdoms. These are  present day Armenia and Georgia which have sent troops to Iraq. The attack 51:28 is lead by Kings of Medes, present day Iran. The attack succeeds by making the rulers of Iraq drunk and asleep. We have a big snow storm that has closed Washington DC just when Iran threatens a punch on 2/11. Even the death of Congressman Murtha is right on cue. May his passing be a sin offering. It seems to me the son of Abraham has been laid at the altar. The daggar is in hand. Abraham is plunging his arm downward but God does not really want to do this execution. He needs to hear a voice No ! Stop! Don't do this! and somewhere one of our men in the field will be alert and foil the plot.
