General Boykin to Beck: ‘I Believe Iran Has a Nuclear Warhead Now’

[Littlejoe]

On the Glenn Beck Program tonight, Glenn welcomed two eminent guests with a great deal of experience analyzing the current state of world affairs to talk about the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. Joining Glenn were General Jerry Boykin, and author Erick Stakelbeck, each of whom came equipped with a great deal of knowledge and some frightening predictions. Video and highlights follow:

Don't worry, President Obama says he's not bluffing now, Glenn, he's not bluffing. He really means it this time," Stakelbeck said sarcastically. "When you have to reassure your enemies that you mean business, you're not bluffing, you're probably bluffing."

When Glenn asked how close Iran was to having a nuclear weapon, Stakelbeck said he believed they were "very, very close." General Boykin was more pessimistic.

"I have a different view, Glenn, I believe that Iran has a nuclear warhead now. Now, that's gonna shock a lot of people, but they've been working for 25 years and they've had the assistance of North Korea as well as the Russians. You don't work for 25 years without succeeding in the development of a warhead."

I concur with General Boykin.

Everything is in place,they have the weapons.All i believe is their waiting on the prophecy of theirs
to come to a head,the 72 months prior to the mahdi and war to happen.It also essentially tries to explain who is Seyed Khorasani (the current top leader of Iran). It also says that 72 months prior to the arrival of the Imam Mahdi that Seyed Khorasani will appoint Shoeib to assist. It then asks if “Doctor” Ahmadinejad could be the Shoeib. It shows Ahmadinejad making various speeches and discusses him taking over Jerusalem in the future–and prior to the arrival of the Imam Mahdi. It basically ends with stating that the Imam Mahdi will rise up soon and that all should praise God with Jihad.Various prophecies of the Mahdi state that the Mahdi would return in an even numbered year, like the end 2012 (the Islamic calendar runs differently than the Roman calendar). Iran may claim that Ahmadinejad received some other type of “appointment” that happened in 2006/2007 that counts, as opposed to being appointed president in 2005. And that would be consistent with a late 2012 (or sometime in 2013) Mahdi arrival (though according to my understanding of Iranian prophetic understanding, taking over Jerusalem anytime between now and late 2013 would probably fit). The Mahdi is supposed to be recognized in an even numbered year, and since Ahmadinejad’s term ends in 2013 (Islamic year 1434), and he indicated he wanted to cause the Mahdi to arrive before he leaves office, he may cause enough chaos to try to cause this to happen soon (the current Islamic year 1433 ends November 26, 2012, so the current year until then is another time that the Mahdi could be expected based on Islamic prophecy).

DUH! Hasn't Sean been faithful in telling us this over and over and over. Maybe Glenn Beck needs to be a member of Rapture Forums.

The General is yet another credible witness.....25 years in the effort..... game over!

Doubters that Iran has not completed their effort should re-visit Occam's razor. Occam's razor is also called the principle of parsimony. These days it is usually interpreted to mean something like "the simpler the explanation, the better" or "don't multiply hypotheses unnecessarily." In any case, Occam's razor is a principle which is frequently used outside of ontology, e.g., by philosophers of science in an effort to establish criteria for choosing from among theories with equal explanatory power.

They want to usher in the last inman and they are doing to do what they think it will take to get that job done....

Yup, that's what i've been sayin' all along. And they've had a dozen Russian-made 200kT nuclear-capable cruise missiles (Raduga Kh-55SM Granat- top image) for over a decade (since late 2001) plus at least three (3) operational ICBM systems for the past couple of years (Russian-designed North Korean-built BM-25 (middle image) and their indigenously produced Safir and Kavoshgar space launch vehicles (bottom images).

and Kavoshgar

But don't take my word for it and it's not a big secret anymore either...

"Secret American intelligence assessments have concluded that Iran has obtained a cache of advanced missiles, based on a Russian design, that are much more powerful than anything Washington has publicly conceded that Tehran has in its arsenal, diplomatic cables show."

[SonSeeker]

So, they've got the Bomb, and the delivery vehicle. Have they married the two together and test fired it? Any luck at all, the test will perform perfectly, then the real thing will blow up on the pad.

[Everlasting Life]

A result of America's stance on Iran the last few years or so.

[Sean Osborne]

Have they married the two together and test fired it?

Only one nation on earth has ever test fired a nuclear weapon via its delivery vehicle - The United States of America. Ours was a one-time nuclear test which has never been repeated or even attempted by any other nation. That test was the 600kT "Frigate Bird" shot conducted by Commander JTF-8 on 6 May 1962 during a series of 36 nuclear tests known as Operation Dominic. The Polaris A2 missile (SLBM) was not fired from land but from the ballistic missile submarine USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608).


Watch the movie... 85 Specials - Frigate Bird - YouTube

At least we know ours will work... no other country can make that claim.

[Duncanmc]

It raises a couple of questions if he is accurate. Such a device would be relatively crude but could still be in the tens of kilotons yield. Could Israel survive such a strike on Tel Aviv? Also, we know that Iran is part of the Ez. 38/39 prophecy which WILL come to pass yet future. If struck by a nuke Israel would destroy Iran. If their were an exchange that did not completely destroy each nation then that would fit my understanding of prophecy but I just don't see Israel surviving such a strike without divine intervention.

[mattfivefour]

I just don't see Israel surviving such a strike without divine intervention.

Bro, Israel wouldn't even exist today if it weren't for divine intervention. Don't you worry about it. God's hand is on that people and that nation. He WILL do that which He has said. Once the Church is gone, He will once again turn to that nation and redeem it to Himself.

Gen Jerry Boykin, the Knight of Columbus? Hmmmm....

Occam's razor is a principle which is frequently used outside of ontology, e.g., by philosophers of science in an effort to establish criteria for choosing from among theories with equal explanatory power. When giving explanatory reasons for something, don't posit more than is necessary.. is also called the principle of parsimony. These days it is usually interpreted to mean something like "the simpler the explanation, the better" or "don't multiply hypotheses unnecessarily."

Micah's Razor sits rusting on a shelf...but if I were to posit something philosolophicalal, I'd say run it by Scripture first, continually, and last. In other words, start to finish.

Iran can have as many nukes as they like, their appointment with prophecy is already set. So, when Mahmoud shows up at your door, glowing a faint green and growing another head, you can say "told you so...".

The Boykin saga interests me more, because nobody much is talking about it. Time for a little searching....

[WalterNZ]

Id be surprised if we get through this year without a war...

[Elijah's Mantle]

does that mean if our hind end's get blown off our politically correct heads ,don't have to know about it

[Cricket55]

Would not doubt that Iran has the warhead.

[KissimmeeBeliever]

Is there not a chance that this upcoming action could be another instance of G-d allowing those surrounding nations such as Iran the ability to crush Israel to bring the Jews back to Him? That G-d could be lifting His hand soon as He has done at other times in history? Let's not jump on me like tends to happen on a messageboard of MUCH "Smarter people." It's a question for all to pursue. I've been reading the OT and mainly the time when Assyria plundered G-d's people. Now I've been reading where Tel-Aviv is the homosexual resort that all want to flock to these days. That sounds like a Sodom/Gommorah type of scenario to me not to mention the secularism of the people. Is there anything in the Word that might show a time like this later down the pike?
