Harbor No Hope in the Iranian President's Intentions - Deluded or Not.

In the unfortunate circumstances the world may find itself in, certain things can be counted on, and others cannot. One thing that should definitely NOT be counted on are the actions of the Iranian president, who, over the intervening years since he was put into power by his ayatollahs, has demonstrated his propensity for everything the world should not expect from world leader, and yet he continues to completely defy the world's hopes for a man of moderation in a place of sensitive power.

There is no real way of understanding if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has any ultimate sensibility of just what he is proposing in his sector of the world; only that his open statements leave very little need for interpretation if he were to finally possess the power he is evidently seeking to underscore and underwrite his claims for world power. If he indeed believes that the twelfth Imam is just a world war away and obtains the power necessary to advance his delusion that he is the one to bring it to pass, only Almighty God knows whether or not he is confident in his vision to make it happen.

We who have faith in Almighty God to bring HIS visions to pass in prophetic fulfillments of the circumstances surrounding Israel, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's intended target, know that there are specific passages that place Elam (Persia) in the place of judgment as partners with a force intended to displace Israel according to the WORD of Almighty GOD. Do we think the Iranian president is part of that? The time to tell such things is closely coming to view, and it would not surprise this reader if, in fact, just exactly that is about to happen.

Then salvation, not that of the Iranian president, but of all who have their faith in the Almighty God of Israel and His Son Yeshua HaMashiach, will have its fulfillment, and the world will finally see the peace of Jerusalem.
