<(Washington, D.C., February 18, 2011) -- Quick
update before the Iran story: Mahmoud Abbas is trying to force a U.N. vote to
condemn Israel for building "settlements" on territory the Palestinians claim is
theirs but refuse to sign a peace treaty to get. The good news: the Obama
administration is threatening to veto the resolution if it comes before the
Security Council. The bad news: the U.S. is proposing to condemn Israel in a
different manner to appease Abbas and the Islamic world.
"The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security
Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body 'does not accept the
legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,' a move aimed at avoiding
the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the
settlements illegal," reports Foreign Policy magazine in a story posted on its
website. Unbelievable. Way to treat our only true democratic and stable ally in
the Mideast. I'm posting updates on the blog as the story develops.
Now, back to Iran.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is telling the people of Iran that the
Twelfth Imam is managing the the revolution now underway in Egypt and in various
parts of the Islamic world, and that "the final move has begun" to destroy
America, Israel and the influence of the Western powers in the epicenter.
"We will soon see a new Middle East materialising without America and the
Zionist regime and there will be no room for world arrogance (the West) in it,"
Ahmadinejad told a crowd chanting "Death to America, death to Israel and death
to Mubarak" last Friday. Agence France Presse reported that "in his fiery style,
Ahmadinejad, showed his messianic beliefs on Friday, saying the world was
witnessing a revolution managed by Imam Mahdi, the 12 Shiite imam who
disappeared as a five-year-old in the 10th century and who Shiites believe would
return on the judgement day."
"The final move has begun," said Ahmadinejad. "We are in the middle of a world
revolution managed by this dear (12th Imam). A great awakening is unfolding. One
can witness the hand of Imam in managing it."
The Twelfth Imam and Iranian eschatology are topics that deserve more attention
than they are getting from the media or our government officials. Let us pray
that our leaders wake up to the true gravity of the threat posed by Iran's
apocalyptic regime before it is too late.
UPDATES:
* Yesterday, Glenn Beck devoted an entire one-hour program to the topic of the
Twelfth Imam, which I was glad to be able to assist with. I've posted a link to
a YouTube clip from the program on my blog. My comments are part of a video
segment that begins at 6:22 minutes into that clip. I was glad to see other
people interviewed for the program included Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania
and former Delta Force commander Lt.-Gen. (ret) Jerry Boykin.
* Anne Graham Lotz, the internationally renowned Bible teacher and daughter of
Billy Graham -- and a speaker at our upcoming 2011 Epicenter Conference -- has
written an excellent column on "Prayer for Egyptian Believers" that is now
posted at www.joshuafund.net. Please take a moment to read it and share it with
others.
* Also posted on my blog is my recent interview on Fox News Channel discussing
the implications of the fall of the Mubarak regime for Israel, for followers of
Jesus Christ in Egypt, and for the battle between Radicals and Reformers in
Iran.
