Iranian Nuke Attack on US Easy as EMP?

Prophecy Sign: Rumors of Wars and Perilous times

Why is it that the Western nations, and Americain particular, don't seem to be included in biblical end-times prophecy? Well here is another possible explanation. Perhaps at some point during the Tribulation period, North America will be rendered impotent by a powerful EMP blast. This, according to the following article, would knock

America

back into the 1800's. That may be alright if you are prepared for such an event, or live on a large farm somewhere. But for the tens of millions that live in cities and live day to day, it would become their own personal Armageddon.

Scary stuff. However now is the opportunity to make that long procrastinated decision for Jesus Christ, while the time is still availed to you.

From the article:

There's nothing new about fearing Doomsday. The Norsemen warned of Ragnarok, the Mayan calendar ends Dec. 2012 and the Bible foretells Judgment Day. What's new is how the world will end, as fears tend to change as our world does. The latest: a massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

An electromagnetic pulse is a burst of electromagnetic radiation from a nuclear weapon. If the weapon is detonated high in the atmosphere, above a target area, it can produce a radioactive pulse across a huge area. The effect could knock out electricity and fry sensitive computer processors, even a total blackout that could last months. Some Americans fear Iran could get a lone nuclear missile onto a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, and detonate it over the central U.S.

This scenario is captured in the best-selling novel One Second After, written by military historian William R. Forstchen with a forward by Republican leadership candidate Newt Gingrich. In it, American technology is knocked back to the early 1800s - vehicles stop moving, medications spoil in useless refrigerators and phone lines drop dead. Most of the population starves to death.

Pentagon estimates show that Iran could have missiles capable of reaching the East Coast of the United States by the year 2015. If the Iranians acquire a nuclear bomb, they might be able to cripple their "Great Satan" even sooner through an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack off America's coastline. "Within a year of an EMP event, at least two-thirds of the American population would perish from starvation, disease, and societal collapse. It's a high-tech means of killing people the old fashioned way," Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, president of EMPact America, explained.
