Israeli intelligence estimates have cast doubt on the widespread assumption that a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would set off a catastrophic set of events like a regional conflagration, widespread acts of terrorism and sky-high oil prices.
The Midrash-Book of Metaphor prognosticates, In the end the Arab People will rise but then they will fall and Persia will become the predominant power in the Middle East. With the fall of Iraq, Iran has become the only country that can threaten Israel and the Jewish People.
Arab and Persian Islam differ in perspective – the Persian Muslims look to the future, the coming of Moshiach; the Arab Muslims are more traditionally oriented. Israel is also divided up between those wanting stability and those wanting Moshiach to come.
Religious extremists in both countries are the fueling the rush to war; even Christian extremist are assisting Jews coming to Israel hoping to bring about their dogma – Armageddon, the destruction of Israel and the Jewish People. The worst of all wars are fought over religion.
Moshiach is the promised present from God bringing intellectual illumination into a world where, Fools do not want to understand; fools only want to reveal their emotions. The Cabala explains, the human being stands erect so the intelligence can rule over the emotions.
