Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
|
The Prophet Daniel wrote about a
future confrontation between the king of the north and the king of the south.
We are now in the time when these two major powers are quickly rising! The king
of the south is stirring up trouble every today. It is critical that you know
the identity of this prophesied power!
Do you know the identity of these
“kings”? It is critical that you do! I want to prove to you that Islamic
extremism is going to be the king of the south. You need this understanding.
After the Iranian Revolution
which was the Islamic revolution that replaced the secular monarchy of Shah Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi with a religious dictatorship led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
occurred in Iran
between January 1978 and February 1979, the
country got transformed from its secular status to what it is now- the Islamic
Republic of Iran. The causes of which continue to be the subject of historical
debate and are believed to have stemmed from, in part, a conservative backlash
opposing the westernization, modernization and secularization efforts of the Western-backed
Shah as well as from a more popular reaction to social injustice and other
shortcomings of the ancien régime.
When Shah Mohammed Reza Pah lavi
led Iran, he was a strong
ally of America.
But American liberal press and politicians thought he was too undemocratic, so
they helped to drive him from power. As he was falling, America gave him little or no
support.
Then, in 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini overthrew the shah. Khomeini established Iran as the world’s number one
state sponsor of terrorism. Ten years later, shortly after Khomeini died, Hashemi Rafsanjani
became president and intensified Iran’s international network of
terrorism. It was only then that some observers began to see what terrible
mistake liberals had made in assisting the shah’s downfall. Back in 1994, then
Secretary of State Warren Christopher called Iran “the world’s most significant
state sponsor of terrorism.” How pathetic to make such a statement and do
nothing about it! Just how much of a superpower is America?
America has known for years who
“the world’s most significant state sponsor of terrorism” is. But it lacks the
will to deal with Iran—to
hold Iran
accountable for its terrorist acts of war! We must go back in history to see
terrorism’s roots. It’s not enough to destroy the branches. We must pull the
terrorist tree up by the roots. It’s the only way to win this war. US attitude
towards Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi before, during and after the revolution
taught Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini a big lesson. No wonder he says ‘America can not
be trusted’. And very soon same thing will happen to the Jewish State. Shortly
after Trump leaves office, the US
will abandon Israel
to fend for itself in the hostile middle-east. Watch Israel become more vulnerable to regional hostility and more.
Iran has been so ambitious to
dominate the middle-east and therefore, the presence of the American troops or
any Jewish state in the region, is nothing but a threat to its ambition to rule
the middle-east politically and to dominate religiously and even the rest of
the world through the act of terrorism. Therefore, it’s important we understand
what has taken place in Iraq
in the past years, and resently I Afghanistan because it provides clear proof that Iran is
determined to rule the middle-east.
Back in 1992, the New York Times
wrote, “Becoming second to Saudi Arabia
as a world oil power, Iran
expects to further its greater ambition of being the most important regional
power in the Persian Gulf, a long-held
foreign-policy objective” (Nov. 7, 1992).
The article examined how Iran planned to achieve this objective: “More
troubling to other countries in the area and to the West is the other side of Iran’s plan to
achieve this objective: a huge rearmament program, financed largely by the new
oil money.”
The Islamic Affairs Analyst of
Gloucester, England, printed an article in August 1994 that said “Iran is pursuing a parallel policy of
surrounding Israel
with implacable enemies.” Turkey
is moving closer to Iran.
To Israel’s north, Iran has deluged Hezbollah in Lebanon with money and weapons.
With Hamas in control of Gaza, Tehran could ignite
another conflict on Israel’s
western and northern borders at any moment. Iran
is also opening another front in the West Bank, which crawls with zealots
sympathetic to if not in the pay of Iran. And Egypt, since the ouster of President Mubarak, is
moving rapidly toward discarding its peace treaty with Israel as it moves into Iran’s camp.
Of course, the Shiites control Iran and are a majority (60%) in Iraq. The U.S.’s removal of Saddam Hussein in 2003 opened
the way for Iran to heavily
infiltrate Iraq,
providing armaments, financing and training to Shiite militias, sending thousands
of operatives into the country and establishing economic ties with it.
Moreover, the most powerful political party in Iraq
is allied with Tehran.
This could be a decisive factor causing Iraq
to fall under Iran’s
control.
Iran
is now effectively in control of Iraq. Sooner or later, the US will withdraw its troops because President Donald
Trumb will not remain in power forever although, the death of Iran’s top general, Qassem Suleimani, in a drone
strike by the United States,
the attack demonstrates the stark differences between the Trump and Obama administrations.
Yet, while there is some heavy resistance against Iranian rule, that resistance
will provide futile. And we see it happening now as Afghanistan falls into the hands of the despirate Taliban, an Iran back terror group.
These trends have continued to today and progressing. Iran has continued to send arms shipments to
Islamists in Somalia.
In March 2008, Iran signed a
military agreement with Sudan.
In May 2008, it further boosted its ties with Eritrea, signing trade and
investment agreements. Again, the following year, in April 2009, Iran and Eritrea,
together with Algeria,
agreed to expand their bilateral cooperation. Iran
has a frightening influence and control in North Africa,
which greatly intensified with the unrest that began errupting in Arab states
in early 2011. The Tunisian government fell in January, probably into the hands
of the radical Muslims. The Ennahda Party, the Islamist party banned under the
dictatorship of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, quickly emerged as probably the most
powerful political force in the country. Iran
has also heavily infiltrated Yemen
and Bahrain, and it is
deeply entrenched in Afghanistan. Many moderate Arab nations fear, and are afraid
to offend, Iran.
One of the most worrying aspects of Iran’s growing power is its
flirtation with nuclear weaponry. On top of this, Iran has had a nuclear program of
its own for many years. There have been information leaks that show Iran,
while publicly stating that its program is purely for energy use, actually
wants other nations to know it could be a nuclear threat.
In May 2011, the International Atomic Energy
Agency reported that Iran
has worked on developing a trigger for a nuclear bomb. Here is what the Islamic
Affairs Analyst of May 13, 1992, said: “The main strategic aim of Iran is to dominate the Persian
Gulf and environs. An important step in achieving this goal is to
gain undisputed leadership of the radical Islamic camp.” Many of the good
intelligence reports about Iran
have proven true. Do we see just how powerful Iran is becoming militarily?
Prof. Barry Rubin wrote in July 2007, “Iran tries to
extend its influence in three ways: propaganda and incitement; the promotion of
client groups, and projecting the state’s own power. Today, Iran sponsors radical Islamist groups in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Lebanon,
and among the Palestinians as well as in other countries. Its two most
important clients are Hezbollah in Lebanon
and the Palestinian Hamas group” (Global Politician, July 25, 2007).And the U.S. “superpower” allows Iran to continue sponsoring violent
terrorism!
(Daniel 11:40). Let’s not forget that this is an
end-time prophecy. Iran
has a foreign policy with a lot of “push.” And since the end of its war with Iraq in 1988, Iran has accumulated a massive
arsenal of weapons to back up its aggressive foreign policy, and that arsenal
includes chemical and biological weapons. The king of the south, or Iran, is going
to “push at him”—that is, the king of the north (the European Union). Gesenius’
Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon says the word push means
“to strike—used of horned animals,” or “to push with the horn.” It is “used
figuratively of a victor who prostrates the nations be fore him.” It also means
to wage war. Push is a violent word! This push no doubt revolves around Jerusalem and biblical Judah
(called Israel
today)—just as the clashes in the time of the Crusades did. That city is the
third-most holy city in the Islamic world.
Pope John Paul ii spoke publicly of possibly
moving the Roman Catholic Church headquarters there. These two great and
powerful religions both passionately desire Jerusalem. Most people believe the Israeli
peace process and other similar negotiations are leading to peace. Actually
they are leading to war! That is what you should put to consideration when I
say Iran may not directly go
to war with the US.
Iran has already planted
people in the US government
to help weaken it so that he won’t be prevented from achieving its aim of
dominating the middle-east and capturing Jerusalem
and from there rule the world. Same ambition has the king of the north.
According to history, during the previous Crusades,
Jerusalem was
always the main prize. This city is of supreme religious importance to Jews,
Christians and Muslims. The so-called Christian Crusades were really Catholic
crusades. The Roman Catholics generally clashed with Muslim armies. It is
important that we understand this history. It is about to be repeated—again.
After prophecy, history is our next indication of what the future holds. Jerusalem was the capital of Israel. And in the end-time
prophecies about Jerusalem, America and Britain are included. The British
peoples (biblical Ephraim), America
(biblical Manasseh) and Judah
are all prophesied to fall at the same time (Hosea 5:5). Shortly after the king
of the north conquers the king of the south, its ambition will grow beyond just
conquering Jerusalem.
The blatantly bold and aggressive foreign policy
of Iran
must lead to war. It will either conquer or be conquered. Bible prophecy makes
it clear that Iran will be
conquered—but not at the hand of America
and Britain.
These latter two countries are going to fall into social and economic ruin
before this prophecy is even fulfilled. If that is not true, then why isn’t America
leading, or at least involved in, this prophesied war? A new superpower is
rising in the European Union. The Bible labels this conglomerate the king of
the north. It takes one king to topple another king. The time when Britain and America were superpowers, or kings,
is history! And we need to understand why. Can we see this new European
superpower rising on the world scene now? Yes, we can. You can get a good
insight into it by watching Germany
and France.
Britain and America defeated Germany in two world wars. Then
they led the Germans in rebuilding their powerful nation—especially after World
War ii. Britain and America saved France in both world wars.
France
and Germany both have every
reason to be close friends with America
and Britain.
But the opposite is true! Media headlines are showing us that daily. Believe it
or not, God is raising up that European power to punish America and Britain.
Middle East
peace treaties dominate the news—as all kinds of peace treaties did just before
World War ii began! It is just another major sign that war is about to explode
in the Middle East! And it will lead to World
War III. Being spellbound by peace treaties has kept the Western world from
fully seeing and recognizing Iran’s
massive plot to control the Middle East. That
will never be stopped by a peace treaty! Only a superi or power could ever stop
this extreme Islamic movement! The most precious jewel of Iran’s plan is to conquer Jerusalem. This would then galvanize the
Islamic world behind Iran!
It will go far in its ambition but never fully conquer Jerusalem.How could I
possibly know this? If Iran
or radical Islam were to conquer Jerusalem, then we would look very
ignorant.
But your Bible says it will not happen. However,
the Bible also states that another specific power will conquer Jerusalem. Such statements should cause you
to prove why we can make these prophetic statements and watch them come to pass
exactly as we said. You need to prove what we say—while there is time! Mr.
Blair and Mr. Bush had the vision to see that our nations can’t win the war
against terrorism without using our power! They attempted to restrict Iran’s influence by toppling the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq,
but even they didn’t want to take on Iran. Most of our world
politicians, the press and our universities do not understand terrorism—nor do
they understand history!
After the push, the king of the north will come
at the king of the south like a “whirlwind.” We have seen how the king of the
south could push at the king of the north. Gesenius’ Lexicon says this about
the word whirl wind: “used of the commotion of a storm or tempest … to sweep
away in a storm, to rush like a tempest; to be fierce as a tempest; with the
implication that the people are ‘terror stricken.’” Strong’s Concordance
defines it, “to cause to shiver with fear.” This is the type of warfare
implemented by the king of the north. It is blitzkrieg warfare! That is because
Germany
leads the European combine. It could well be a nuclear bomb attack which
creates a firestorm! The king of the north will destroy the king of the south.
Gesenius’ Lexicon further defines whirlwind as “creeping of the skin of a
person terror stricken.” We are now entering such terrifying times! All of the
enormous stockpiles of armaments are going to be used. The weapons created by
men have always been used! Bible prophecy tells us how they are to be employed.
Both kings are vying for power in a very
aggressive way, and the rift between the two is growing. The clash between
these two kings is not an insignificant event on the world scene. It is a clash
that will alarm the whole world! It is implied in Daniel 11:40 that there will
be an immediate response to the push. That is the Nazi-style warfare of World
War ii. The king of the south probably thinks Germany
will react like the U.S.—which
is indecisive at best. If it thinks that, it is in for a bitter jolt!
Even the style of warfare described here is
somewhat revealing about which nation heads the king of the north. The Ger mans
move lightning fast in war fare—unlike the slower Russian bear. When the king
of the south clashes with the king of the north, the European king will be
victorious. Then, the king of the north will unite with the rest of the Arab
world not allied with Iran
to destroy America, Britain and Judah
(called “Israel”
today). After war explodes in the Middle East, there will
probably be a thunderous call for a peacekeeper in Jerusalem. The king of the north will no
doubt take the job, but then quickly will continue its war-making! (Ezekiel 23
discusses a shameful double cross.
Russia and China
will then strike fear in the king of the north. “But tidings out of the east
and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great
fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many” (Daniel 11:44). The king of the
north will then be defeated. “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace
between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end,
and none shall help him” (verse 45). Here we see a great religious leader—with
“tabernacles of his palace”—moving his headquarters to Jerusalem. But he also will come to his end.
Why? Back in 1994, before the much-hyped millennial jubilee celebrations by the
Vatican, Pope John Paul II made this statement: “We trust that with the
approach of the year 2000, Jerusalem will become the city of peace for the
entire world and that all the people will be able to meet there, in particular
the believers in the religions that find their birthright in the faith of Abraham”
(Parade, April 3, 1994).
The pope was very accurate in this statement: “Jerusalem will become the city of peace for
the entire world,” but not the way he believes. Jesus Christ will be here in the very near future. And He will bring peace
to the entire world! That is one big reason there is so much violence over Jerusalem in this end
time. Satan knows that God is going to rule the world, and even the universe,
from Jerusalem.
The Bible says we are about to see a religious clash that will stagger the
world! This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled. Of course, Satan hates this
prophecy because at that time he will be cast into a bottomless pit (Revelation
20:1-3).
What a glorious future man has. And all of that glory is going to emanate
from Jerusalem!
Mankind has been wrestling with the questions associated with forming
governments throughout history. The only hope for justice, peace, and truth and
right solutions to all the world's problems is the coming in power and glory of
Jesus Christ to set up world government – the government of God.
