June 26, 2011 (pg69-78)

It’s a big deal to have someone who has been an undersecretary saying the type of things Boykin is saying. To say that Iran is the biggest threat to the entire world is a big deal. I think this is why he pauses. Not only was he in the know but even to this day his words still carry weight.

Want to remember…

Mahdi – Islamic messiah
Caliphate – one sole authority and leader in Islam

I like the way they review the five goals of the section. It helps me organize and remember. 

I like what they are saying about the lines in the sand… or red lines. The two things that Israel will not allow to have happen. I also really agree with all Boykin is saying about not having to wait to defend yourself until something is done to you… if you know it is going to happen.

They, Iran and Mohammed Ali Jafari, on not quoted as giving a reason for attacking the US as well. I wonder what that is? I know the normal stuff, we help Israel … etc, but I would think they would need tangible / substantial reasons or face consequences from UN and like. What would that reason be?

On to chapter 7…

I have to say it again… I like the organization they use in this book and also the repetition. The thing that is making me day this is the way on pg 75-76 they go over the nations that are predicted in scripture and the modern day equivalent. It helps to see them side by side. I also like the way they include verse. Very cool!

I would really like to remember them all.

Lots of agreement that Iran is the big threat and the biggest part of that is them being nuclear. I would like to look into more specifically what the United States has done to prevent this. I honestly don’t know.

The four pronged attack to Israel… not just Iran, but also Syria, Lebanon, and Palestinians. I would like to research why these specifically and would also like to remember these are the main four. Maybe they will go more into it.

Still not satisfied with the answer they gave at bottom of 78 to my question. There must be other reasons. Will have to research.

Until tomorrow…
