Unholy Alliances

Chushan-rishathaim was the king of Mesopotamia. (Judges 3:8) He conquered all lands from the Tigris river to the Egyptian border. Chushan-rishathaim is known as Mitanni king Tushratta Egyptian king Akenaton's cousin. Israel revolted against this king with Othniel winning victory. Tushratta then had a major rebellion on his hands. There was rebellion in Syria, then a civil war and Tushratta lost his life. Throughout Israel's history we see her enemies go down in defeat. Tushratta believed his cousin Akenaton would save him, yet Akenaton had dedicated his life to the solar sun god. Egyptians were living in anger that Akenaton had abolished all other Egyptian gods in favor of his sun god and Akenaton's own land was in crisis, while Israel lived in peace.

Today, we have Iranian dictator Ahmadinejad acting like Chushan-rishathaim wanting to have domination over the entire Middle-East. Arrows have been updated to missles. Israel is surrounded by enemies and the modern world merely watches as Ahmadinejad builds his nuclear weapons. The nations on Israel's borders should fear Iran instead of Israel. Unlike Chushan-rishathaim, Israel will destroy Iran and Iran's allies whom have created Unholy Alliances against the Jewish nation.
