Was it really?
This is the beginning not the end.
Operation Rising Lion
Jeremiah 49:34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Elam refers to a portion of Iran where there ballistic missiles are kept. Zedekiah was the last king of Judah. So the judgment falls on Elam at "the beginning of the end". Zedekiah means "Jehovah is righteous". What we are seeing is righteous judgement. As you have done it will be done to you, and the pit you have dug you will fall into.
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
The bow of Elam refers to their ballistic missiles. Iran is very foolish. They had to know that as committed as they were to destroying Israel, that Israel was equally committed to seeing that this does not happen. This was really a spiritual warfare, they did not appreciate that God the omnipotent and omniscient defends Israel.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
This is what happened to Israel in 70 AD. That was a warning to Iran, what has happened to Israel will happen to you. If you watch a prize fighter destroy another fighter in the ring, that should be a warning to anyone looking to fight him. You saw what God did to Israel and now Iran wants to take on God? Take a look at the news this morning, IRGC members are fleeing Iran.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
This is righteous. This is what Iran did to others. They used proxies, they did sneak attacks, they financed terrorism. With what measure you have measured it will be measured again to you. 80 leaders and generals were killed last night in that attack. They are dismayed. One of the reasons the Israelis are so successful is because the Iranians are sick of these leaders and are turning on them.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.
A throne is set for judgment. What is interesting is that there is a Christian revival in Iran. Many Iranians despise the Islamic leaders. Imagine how glorious it would be for Iran to become a Christian nation.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
This revival of Christians in Iran is a fulfillment of prophecy.
