By Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington, D.C, September 2, 2011) -- Much of the world seems to be
asleep to the growing nuclear threat from Iran, perhaps thinking that
the threat has passed or declined, or simply consumed with other
seemingly more pressing issues. But storm clouds continue to gather.
"The U.N. nuclear agency said Wednesday it is 'increasingly concerned'
about a stream of intelligence suggesting that Iran continues to work
secretly on developing a nuclear payload for a missile and other
components of a nuclear weapons program," reports the Associated Press.
"In its report, the International Atomic Energy Agency said 'many member
states' are providing evidence for that assessment, describing the
information it is receiving as credible, 'extensive and comprehensive.'
The restricted 9-page report was made available Friday to The Associated
Press, shortly after being shared internally with the 35 IAEA member
nations and the U.N. Security Council."
Will the U.N. take action next month at the opening session of the
General Assembly? There is no evidence yet this will happen. Will the
Obama administration take decisive action against Iran? We've seen no
signs of that happening so far. That would leave Israel. Will the
Netanyahu government take decisive action to prevent another Holocaust?
This remains to be seen, but please keep praying for the peace of
Jerusalem, as we are commanded in Psalm 122:6.
My new political thriller, "The Tehran Initiative," focuses on Iran
acquiring nuclear weapons and the U.S. and Israel having to make a final
decision on how to respond. I hope it's just fiction, and that events
don't unfold as I've written them. But one way or another, the moment of
decision is steadily approaching.

"THE GATHERING STORM" SIMULCAST ON OCT. 22 -- In the last few weeks, the
U.S. stock markets have tanked. Americans have lost more than $2.3
trillion in personal wealth. Our economy has nearly stalled. Some 14
million American are out of work. We may be facing a double-dip
recession. Our debt is exploding. And Washington is nearly paralyzed
with partisan gridlock, even as Iran is building nuclear weapons, Syria
and Libya are slaughtering thousands, Egypt has imploded, and Israel is
increasingly threatened. Put it simply: Storm clouds are gathering. The
winds are picking up. The tectonic plates beneath us are shifting.
America is being shaken. Israel and the Middle East are being shaken.
The Church is being shaken. Why? Where are we headed? What is God doing?
And what is He asking followers of Jesus Christ to do?
At this critical moment in our history, I would ask you to please
prayerfully consider hosting a special 3-hour simulcast at your church
on Saturday, October 22, 2011. It is called, "The Gathering Storm: An
Urgent Call To Prayer, Fasting and Repentance for America, Israel and
the Church in the Light of Bible Prophecy." In the first hour of this
event, I will teach from the Holy Scriptures, analyze current events in
light of Bible prophecy, and offer practical suggestions on how
Christians should respond Biblically. Then, for the next nearly two
hours, I will answer questions from believers all over the country. To
learn more about "The Gathering Storm" event -- and to sign up your
church to host the 3-hour simulcast on Saturday, October 22nd -- please
