Israel Versus Iran and the Point of No
Return
Also: 2010
Epicenter Conference DVD begins shipping
today.
By Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington, D.C., August 12, 2010) --
"For the Obama administration, the
prospect of a nuclearized Iran is dismal
to contemplate -- it would create major
new national-security challenges and
crush the president's dream of ending
nuclear proliferation," writes reporter
Jeffrey Goldberg an article in The
Atlantic entitled, The Point of No
Return. "But the view from Jerusalem is
still more dire: a nuclearized Iran
represents, among other things, a threat
to Israel's very existence. In the gap
between Washington's and Jerusalem's
views of Iran lies the question: who, if
anyone, will stop Iran before it goes
nuclear, and how? As Washington and
Jerusalem study each other intensely,
here's an inside look at the strategic
calculations on both sides-and at how,
if things remain on the current course,
an Israeli air strike will unfold."
Very interesting article. Raises many
troubling and intriguing points. I've
posted a link to the full article my
weblog. A few other summer updates:
* A reader emailed me last week asking
why The Joshua Fund is going to hold the
next Epicenter Conference in Israel and
have a prayer & vision tour there in May
2011 when the prospect of war is
growing. It's an important question, and
I've posted my answer on the weblog
(http://flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com/)
* The Joshua Fund staff is holding
several days of prayer and strategic
planning next week. Please keep us in
your prayers. We're exploring ways to
expand our humanitarian relief efforts
next year both for Israelis and
Palestinians. Check out the latest
developments at www.joshuafund.net, and
please prayerfully consider making a
summer donation to help us touch as many
lives as possible through the warehouse
and 7 food distribution centers we're
currently supporting. Thanks.
* The DVD collection of
speeches/presentations made at the 2010
Epicenter Conference in Philadelphia
begins shipping to customers today. It
includes messages by General Boykin, Kay
Arthur, Greg Laurie, Hormoz Shariat,
Mosab Hassan Yousef, myself and others.
It also includes a special two-hour
seminar bonus feature with Hormoz
Shariat and Tom Doyle on how to share
the gospel with your Muslim friends. If
you haven't already ordered your copy,

* Tyndale is finalizing my fall book
tour for "THE TWELFTH IMAM." We'll
