Jerusalem Post—Saudi official warns Iran: Attack us at your own risk:
A senior Saudi official, responding to Iranian criticism of Riyadh’s management of the haj pilgrimage, urged Iran to end what he called wrong attitudes towards Arabs and warned it against any use of force in its rivalry with the kingdom.
Mecca province governor Prince Khaled al-Faisal, in remarks likely to be seen as a reference to Iran, added that the orderly conduct of the pilgrimage this year “is a response to all the lies and slanders made against the kingdom.”
The remarks carried by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) on Wednesday evening follow an escalating war of words between Shi’ite Muslim Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia since a crush at the annual haj pilgrimage a year ago in which hundreds of pilgrims, many of them Iranians, died.
SPA quoted Prince Khaled as telling journalists his message to the Iranian leadership was “I pray to God Almighty to guide them and to deter them from their transgression and their wrong attitudes toward their fellow Muslim among the Arabs in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and around the world”.
“But if they are preparing an army to invade us, we are not easily taken by someone who would make war on us.”
“When we desire, and with the help of God Almighty, we will deter every aggressor and will never relent in protecting this holy land and our dear country. No one can defile any part from our country if any one of us remains on the face of the earth.”
No top Iranian leader has called for war with Saudi Arabia, something neither country wants.

This article was introduced in an email with the following teaser: “Is a new Gulf War imminent?”
Given that the issue being discussed involves the Middle East, the answer to that question is unquestionably YES. The only remaining question is who will be involved? As things stand now, it looks as though Muslim sects may fight each other before one or several of them join forces to attack Israel again.
Watching prophecy play out in real time is very interesting, but it’s fraught with difficulty for those who think they have all the answers. Sometimes I jokingly refer to them as people who must think that they are on the planning committee for the Second Coming.
This is the bottom line: Yahweh is Sovereign. He will do things His way, and His ways are not our ways. This is how Yahweh explained it:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares Yahweh. (Isaiah 55: 8)
It pays not to guess about what Yahweh might do. We should pray that He will enable us to see His works as they unfold.
I’m not dismissing the importance of legitimate prophets. Isaiah was a prophet, but now as then, there are few of them. Again, now as then, there is an overabundance of people who pretend to be prophets. It pays to keep that in mind.
Test the spirits and those who claim to be prophets. Yahweh will make sure that His people see His hand at work while He’s performing His mighty acts. The best course, the only safe course, is to follow the leading of Yahweh’s Spirit.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
