Luke
21: [25] And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28]
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Nuclear Weapons
In future updates, Lord willing, I will be dealing with the use,
or non-use, of nuclear weapons during the tribulation period. So, in
this update, I will give a brief history of nuclear weapon development
by Israel.
Israel, in return for her cooperation with France in the 1956 Suez
Campaign against Egypt, asked France for a nuclear reactor. The U.S.
was opposed to the acquisition, but France, as she usually does, ignored
U.S. protests. In 1957 the French, assisted by Israel, began to build
an atomic reactor at Dimona in the Negev Wilderness. Israel assured
both the U.S. and France she would only use the reactor for the peaceful
commercial needs of her people. Of course, all three nations knew full
well she would use it to produce an atomic bomb. By 1960 the French
finished work on a 24-megawatt reactor at Dimona.
In order to develop an atomic bomb, the power must be increased to 120
plus megawatts. So, immediately after the French left, Israel began the
process necessary to increase the reactor's power. They eventually got
it to produce 150 megawatts. In 1964 they completed their first atomic
bomb. I will not discuss or reveal the what, when, where, and how
Israel tested her atomic weaponry.
In May of 1967 high-level Egyptian over flights of Dimona made Israel
very nervous. They were afraid of an Arab air strike against Dimona
from three directions. That is the reason for the pre-emptive strikes
in June of 1967, when the famous Six Day War began and ended. What is
very significant about this is the fact that Israel had a few atomic
bombs in position for use, but did not use them.
In 1968 about 200 tons of crude uranium (yellowcake) was smuggled into
Israel off a Liberian tanker operating from a German port. In 1969
Israel used this material to develop a hydrogen bomb. Perhaps the most
significant thing about all this involves Israel's non-use of her
nuclear weaponry in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Her enemies made initial
quick gains into her territory on all fronts, yet Israel did not use her
numerous nuclear weapons.
Israel now has hundreds of nuclear warheads. She also has numerous
chemical and biological warheads. Many of these nuclear, chemical, and
biological warheads are mounted on about 200 to 300 Jericho Missiles in
the Negev.
Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, and by now probably Iran and Iraq, are very
much aware of these missiles and warheads. Spy satellites, launched out
of Plesesk and Turatam in the former Soviet Union, watched Israel's
development of what has previously been described. The Soviet's shared
their intelligence with Syria, Egypt, and Jordan before the 1973 Yom
Kippur War.
The long and short of all this points to a conclusion that I firmly
believe. Israel will not launch nuclear, biological, or chemical
warheads against the Arab nations unless they first launch them against
her. More about this in the next regular update.
