Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking to his own nation’s youth, the next generation. He said what his generation has always believed, that is, that Jews must be killed.

He stated that the state of Israel, founded on May 14, 1948, must be “wiped off the map.” In other words, all Jews must be slain. That is the typical degradation given to Jews by Muslims. Jews are referred to as “Jew-pigs and descendants of monkeys.”

With this tirade coming from the top and going to the youth, it can hardly be believed that the Roadmap to Peace is going anywhere but into the black hole of history.

Iran’s President said that “anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury. . .”

In other words, America in particular is right up there with Israel for being wiped out. If Israel has to go, the US must go as well as any other nation that backs Israel.

As for the “Islamic nation’s fury,” Ahmadinejad includes not only Iran but all Muslim countries leveling the final blow to all pro-Israel peoples. In other words, once again it is all Muslims versus all non-Muslims, just as the Koran’s Allah dictates.

“The World Without Zionism” was the conclave attended by the Iranian young people. So it is the same bloody litany that civilized persons of the planet have had to listen to for decades. Most important to Ahmadinejad is that he implant that same hatred in the upcoming leaders who will take over when he and his murdering cohorts have left the earthly scene.

No wonder that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has referred to Islam as “an evil ideology.” US President George W. Bush has referred to it as an “ideology of hate.” Finally these two democracy leaders realize that Islam is not a “religion of peace.”

Ahmadinejad pointed to the current upheaval in Gaza. With that, he assured his listeners that the Palestinians will “wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world.”

Note that the Iranian President did not refer merely to “the world” but to the “Islamic world.” One can only interpret that as being that one day all Islamics will rule with no Islamics alive on the planet. It will be the Islamic rule worldwide which means no one but Muslims will breathe.

In providing historical backdrop to his threatening delivery, Ahmadinejad quoted Ayatollah Khomeini, founder, Islamic Revolution, who demanded the same, that is, that Israel be destroyed. Therefore, Khomeini, then Ahmadinejad, and now the next generation of Iranians are to continue with the project of eliminating Jews and those friends of Jews.

Had anyone hoped that with Ahmadinejad coming to power in August that there might be a change of heart in Iran toward peace in the world? With this recent speech all such hopes are gone.

One also could reason that any hope of Iran not preparing for nuclear build up to destroy is gone as well. Therefore, all the back-and-forth from Iran and the peace world about Iran having nuclear power for peaceful purposes is obviously bogus.

Yet what about Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon seeing through the removal of his own people from the Gaza Strip to make way for Palestinian settlements there? Was that not a move of goodwill? Did that not call for much heartache among the Jews and many questioning the leadership skills of Sharon? Did not Sharon put his own political neck on the line by opening up Gaza turf to Palestinians?

No, Ahmadinejad reasons. Sharon played magician by tricking the Arab world by providing land for Arab dwellings. In that trick was implicit the plot to force Arabs to recognize the State of Israel, that is, making that nation legitimate in the eyes of the world. Therefore, nothing good can come from Sharon’s turnover of Gaza to Arabs. Nothing. It’s all a scheme of ongoing deceit on the part of the Jews and their friends.

“Anybody who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world,” the Iranian President delivered to his listening youth.

There were countless Jews and Gentiles who wondered about Sharon’s wisdom in turning over Gaza. It was considered a gross mistake, a travesty, and a lack of good judgment and extremely painful measure against his own people. Now one can realize that Arabs, zealot Muslims in particular, do not consider any goodwill can come from anyone but Muslims. And so the warfare ups its fury.

There are those researchers of biblical material who conclude that no lasting peace can come to the Middle East until Christ, the Prince of Peace, returns to rule from Jerusalem, just as biblical prophecies predict. He will be regarded as the “King of Kings,” according to The Book of Revelation. Then He and His redeemed will rule in holiness and peace from Jerusalem throughout the planet.

Until then, biblical prophesizes set forth that wars and rumors of wars will heighten until the Battle of Armageddon is waged in northwest Israel. It will be at that time that Christ will leave the right hand of God the Father in heaven, descend through space, and speak the word by which He will win the battle. Vultures will then eat the defeated dead at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Christ’s feet will then touch the Mount of Olives by which it will split in half, signifying His holy power to rule and judge.

Until that occurs, many Christians believe that anxiety will fill Israel’s borders, Muslims who despise infidels will continue their agendas to slay all non-Muslims, leaving world leaders to plan fruitlessly for peace in the Middle East.
