Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
Iran’s unwillingness to stop its race to create nuclear weapons has resulted in the European Union leveling more sanctions against the nation.
EU Foreign Ministers meeting in Luxembourg passed measures strengthening restrictions against banks, trade and gas exports. The actions were taken in an attempt to hamper the ways Iran has earned revenues for their nuclear program.
One of the measures passed bars all transactions between European and Iranian banks unless explicitly approved by government officials.
The import, purchase and transport of natural gas from the country is now banned similar to the restrictions placed on Iranian oil in July.
All Iranian-government backed television and radio stations have been barred from satellites that broadcast to Europe. While they will still be available to countries in the middle east the only way they can be accessed in Europe will be via internet.
In light of the sanctions, Sweden summoned and berated Israel’s ambassador claiming the new deal could jeopardize a contract between the nation’s telecommunications group, Ericsson and Iran’s mobile cell phone operator.
“I will react quite sharply against Israel,” Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt told the TT news agency.
