Prosperity in Proper Context Can be Blessing; Abused, It Can Be a Cursing

The Tanakh has many lessons of blessing and cursings, all of which are determined in this observation by how a nation is blessed or chastised in relation to obedience or rebellion to the LORD of Lords. This is especially true in the admonitions to Israel. Other nations, such as the ones that seem bent on destroying Israel, are tools of justice that are called in their repudiation of things Jewish, then destroyed themselves for theirs acts of acting in ambitions of evil empire and are taken down themselves. Bablylonians, Assyrians and Romans come to mind. What does anyone who watches the Iranian Islamic Regime think is coming due along with Islam in general when all the houses of cards fall flat in disrepute and Israel is saved?
