Kland, it doesn't matter what the Iranians do or don't do with nuclear material. What matters is what Jesus does or doesn't do about it. Even if Iran owned all the weaponized nuclear material in the world, it wouldn't matter because Jesus is in control. If Iran were to launch nuclear bombs, whether or not they explode and inflict casualties is up to Jesus. He can intervene and prevent them from causing harm. Or, He can choose to allow them to spread death far and wide. The responsibility rests with Jesus - not Iran, not evil angels.

If Iran were to be allowed to use centrifuges for producing nuclear bombs and missiles, would you say they would be making use of the same destructive power as Japan did by failing to have a backup plan for their nuclear reactors resulting in all kinds of death and destruction? Do you understand the question? Is it the same destructive power in both instances?

If Jesus were to cause the Iranians to use centrifuges for producing nuclear bombs and missiles, would you say Jesus would be making use of the same destructive power as Jesus did when He caused Japan by failing to have a backup plan for their nuclear reactors resulting in all kinds of death and destruction?

M: APL, have you earned the right to preach your view of justice and punishment? You believe Jesus withdraws His protection and permits evil men and evil angels to torture and kill innocent women and children.

K: And you think Jesus tortures and kill innocent women and children?

Tell us, which fits in with our fundamental beliefs better, which explains the great controversy better: Evil men and evil angels torturing innocent women and children or Jesus torturing innocent women and children?

M: So, as soon as Jesus feels death, disease, and destruction are in order - He turns it over to evil men and evil angels to fill the order.

K: I know of no where that APL has said that Jesus turns things over to evil men and evil angels to fill the order. Could you show us?

We cannot know how much we owe to Christ for the peace and protection which we enjoy. It is the restraining power of God that prevents mankind from passing fully under the control of Satan. The disobedient and unthankful have great reason for gratitude for God's mercy and long-suffering in holding in check the cruel, malignant power of the evil one. But when men pass the limits of divine forbearance, that restraint is removed. God does not stand toward the sinner as an executioner of the sentence against transgression; but He leaves the rejectors of His mercy to themselves, to reap that which they have sown. Every ray of light rejected, every warning despised or unheeded, every passion indulged, every transgression of the law of God, is a seed sown which yields its unfailing harvest. The Spirit of God, persistently resisted, is at last withdrawn from the sinner, and then there is left no power to control the evil passions of the soul, and no protection from the malice and enmity of Satan. The destruction of Jerusalem is a fearful and solemn warning to all who are trifling with the offers of divine grace and resisting the pleadings of divine mercy. Never was there given a more decisive testimony to God's hatred of sin and to the certain punishment that will fall upon the guilty. {GC 36.1}

Men cannot with impunity reject the warning which God in mercy sends them. A message was sent from heaven to the world in Noah's day, and their salvation depended upon the manner in which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race, and they perished in the waters of the Flood. In the time of Abraham, mercy ceased to plead with the guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot with his wife and two daughters were consumed by the fire sent down from heaven. So in the days of Christ. The Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation: "Your house is left unto you desolate." Matthew 23:38. Looking down to the last days, the same Infinite Power declares, concerning those who "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved": "For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. As they reject the teachings of His word, God withdraws His Spirit and leaves them to the deceptions which they love. {GC 431.1}

I don't know enough about nuclear material to answer your question. Is nuclear material the same in power plants and bombs blasts? Why do you ask?

M: Kland, why did Fukushima happen? And, why didn't Jesus intervene and prevent it?

K: If Iran were to be allowed to use centrifuges for producing nuclear bombs and missiles, would you say they would be making use of the same destructive power as Japan did by failing to have a backup plan for their nuclear reactors resulting in all kinds of death and destruction? Do you understand the question? Is it the same destructive power in both instances?

I wonder, as the rain began to fall, did they sit around debating whether it was caused by God, or Satan, or perhaps by one of their own perversions of the Earth's natural forces?

Brothers and Sisters, it's time to get on the boat!

"But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:37
