Prophecies for Iran

Hundreds of years before Christ, in the ancient empire of Persia, a fiendish plot was hatched. A palace officer named Haman decided to exterminate the Jews. We can read the account in the Bible’s book of Esther, and it makes us realize some things never change.

Persia is modern Iran.

Queen Esther foiled that plot, and the blowback on Haman was the ultimate punishment: he was hanged on the very gallows he built to murder Jews. What will be the fate of today’s mullahs in Tehran, thirsting as they do for Jewish blood? For more than a decade, the regime in Iran has specifically threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and the country’s rapidly-advancing nuclear program will be poised to do the trick.

Or is something else in play ?

For Bible prophecy students, the whole affair is hair-raising in the extreme, because never before have nuclear weapons posed a threat to the state of Israel. Indeed, the Jewish state has never admitted to having nuclear weapons, and has “enjoyed” a nuclear-free Middle East. Until now. Check out all books by Bill Salus !

The Prophecy of Elam - http://www.alamongordo.com

Revealing the Ancient Prophecy of Elam.

As Salus notes, a nuclear confrontation with Iran (when the Israelis say “Never again,” they mean never again) and Israel would have catastrophic implications for the Middle East and the world beyond, as oil supplies would have a domino effect on nations’ economies. Salus has delved into the prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to reveal a scenario far more dramatic than a Hollywood film.

Salus is particularly good at unraveling prophecies, using historical research and Scripture as his benchmarks. He points out that contrary to some popular opinion, Bible prophecy is not some murky tangle. In fact, he says Ezekiel 38 is a “well defined” passage that speaks of a confederation and invasion of Israel in the last days.

And Salus also points out fascinating data — his trademark — that escapes even sharp researchers. For example, he says that the mullahs’ stranglehold on their own people is perhaps not so much of a stranglehold after all:

“From approximately 500 believers in 1979 [the year of the Iranian Revolution], to several million today, Iran is the fastest-growing evangelical population in the world. Christianity is burgeoning so rapidly that the rogue Islamic regime has instituted harsh policies to curb its growth.”

Isn’t that stunning? There’s much more to stun in “Nuclear Showdown.” Salus has produced another thriller (though non-fiction!) by highlighting some overlooked prophecies that might point to the current Iranian situation.

Though most commentators focus on ancient Persia/modern Iran, Salus points out that most miss the focus on Elam, an ancient nation that predates Persia.

Salus shows us that Jeremiah 49:34-39 is considered by Iranian Christians to refer to a looming catastrophe: “The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts:

Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.

“For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.

“I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”

This “Judgment on Elam” is startling, especially if Iranian believers today are correct, because it means that a mass exodus will take place from Iran in the near future, with Iranian refugees dispersed to foreign countries: not to launch terror attacks, but to evangelize the nations!

In a supreme irony, the mullahs’ lust for power and nuclear arms is pushing the Iranian people to do the very thing the Islamic Republic most detests.

Dear reader, if you are even remotely interested in Bible prophecy, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of “Nuclear Showdown.” Salus has produced another sensational effort that is sure to stimulate much discussion as we peer into the rapidly unfolding near future.

Ronald Weinland Iran Prophecy

Ronald Weinland Iran Prophecy

Tehran – 20th September 2009 Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered the replacement of the US dollar by the euro in the country’s foreign exchange accounts. The September 12 edict was issued following a decision by the trustees of the country’s foreign reserves, Mehr News Agency reported. Earlier, the Islamic Republic of Iran had announced that the euro would replace the greenback in the country’s oil transactions.

Iran has called on other OPEC members to ditch the sinking dollar in favor of the more credible euro. Following the switch, the interest rate for the facilities provided from the Foreign Exchange Reserves will be reduced from 12 to 5 percent. Since being introduced by the European Union, the euro has gained popularity internationally and there are now more euros in circulation than the dollar. The move will also help decouple Iran from the US banking system.

The stability of the global economy is on very shaky ground, so much so that even a small country like Iran is making threats that can actually help push it over the edge. This week World Net Daily (Feb. 3, 2006) reported on an unusual move from Iran. The global economy is so insecure that something this small could actually start a final domino affect: Beginning in 2003, Iran began demanding oil payment in euros, not dollars, although the oil itself was still priced in U.S. currency.

Now, Iran is seriously considering establishing an Iranian Oil Bourse, with the goal of competing with the New York Mercantile Exchange, NYMEX, and London’s International Petroleum Exchange, IPE. Right now, the NYMEX and IPE use three oil “markers” to establish price – West Texas Intermediate crude, Norway Brent crude and the UAE Dubai crude. With the establishment of an Iranian Oil Bourse, Tehran wants to create a fourth oil marker, this one priced in the euro.

On Feb. 3, 2006 about 70 percent of the world’s international foreign currency reserves are held in dollars. If the petroeuro begins to challenge the petrodollar, this percentage could diminish drastically. The Fourth Thunder ! The United States depends on the dollar foreigncurrency reserves in order to sell the Treasury debt that sustains budget deficits. Most Americans are completely unaware of this threat Iran represents to the U.S. economy.

Even China has been hinting at shifting some of its reserves from the dollar to the euro. There is much economic uneasiness in the world today, and this is about to lead into an unprecedented economic upheaval worldwide.
