70 WEEKS OF DANIEL’S PROPHECY – PART 8

July 3, 2009

70 WEEKS OF DANIEL’S 9:24-27 PROPHECY – Part 8

For many years I have challenged anyone to produce a book published as a commentary on the Bible prior to 1740 that taught or showed the following:

1. The “HE” in Daniel 9:27 as representing the future antichrist.

2. The “rapture” occurring at, or before, the “first of the week.

”

3. The “rapture” occurring in the “middle” of the week.

4. A “last of the week” diagram divided into two 1260 sections.

I am not saying that 1 to 4 do not exist. I am saying I have searched diligently for many years, and have never been able to find such books or publications before 1740. So what will I do if someone ever answers the challenge and does present such a legitimate published document?

I will simply ask this question – Why is this book the only one floating in the midst of a sea of publications that teach otherwise? One of the strongest natural instincts in the human nature we brought out of our mother’s womb is “ACCEPTANCE.” And anyone who is blind to the effect that it has on their way of thinking in a society based on religious, social, and group ACCEPTANCE, is indeed blind to what could be the greatest motivation factor in what they teach, and why they teach it.

I was made ACCEPTABLE to God by grace through faith some 65 years ago, and now I persuade men to be well pleasing (ACCEPTABLE) to him

rather than to men. To be ACCEPTABLE (well pleasing) to God does not always mesh with being ACCEPTABLE (well pleasing) to man.

Ephesians 1:6 – To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us ACCEPTED in the beloved.

II Corinthians 5:9-11 – Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be ACCEPTED of him. [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

[11] Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

There are two different inspired words translated as “accepted” in these two Scriptures. The one in II Corinthians means “well pleasing.”

Colossians 3:23-25 – And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; [24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. [25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

THE PROPHESIED DESOLATIONS OF JERUSALEM!

What Did the Jews Know from Daniel 9:24-27?

Daniel 9:1,2 – In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; [2] In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books

the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish seventy years in the DESOLATIONS of JERUSALEM.

They knew that the 70 weeks of years (7 X 70 = 490), during which the desolations of Jerusalem would occur, were to begin as stated in Daniel 9:25.

Daniel 9:25 – Know therefore and understand, that FROM the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem UNTO the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

The 490 years were to begin when the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was issued, which some thought was the Artaxerxes Longimanus commandment issued in 457 BC.

And they knew it would be 483 years when Messiah the Prince arrived to fulfilled the last 7 years (7 + 62 = 69 weeks of years = 69 X 7 = 483 years).

However, after completing the 484th, 485th, and 486th years, he was cut off (crucified) by the Jews between the 486th and 487th years, that is, in the “midst” of the seven year period, between the third and fourth years. The word AFTER in 9:26 is a continuous running narration of 9:25 and, as such, is understood to contain the seven weeks without repeating them, hence the Messiah was to be cut off AFTER the 69th year DURING the 70th week of years.

Daniel 9:26 – And AFTER threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

According to the preponderance of the evidence, Jesus was born in 4 BC, and came as the Messiah the Prince to be baptized by John in 27 AD at age 30, which was the age a man could be a priest in the line of Aaron, and it was this event that marked the beginning of the 484th year since the 457 BC commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem had been issued. Jesus began the last week of Daniel’s 70 weeks when he was baptized. He completed more than three years of it, but less than three and one half years, probably leaving some 1335 days to be completed before the final desolations of Jerusalem were completed.

Daniel 12:12 – Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

The completion of the 1335 days marks “the end of the days” in Daniel’s 490 year prophecy, and Daniel will stand on this earth in his resurrected glorified body at that time.

Daniel 12:13 – But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Daniel 9:2 – In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish SEVENTY YEARS in the DESOLATIONS of JERUSALEM.

Daniel 9:27 – And HE shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week HE shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations HE shall make it DESOLATE, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

All three of the “HE’s” are the Messiah the Prince, who was cut off (crucified) between the 486th and 487th years of Daniel’s 490 year prophecy.

FIRST DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM (SPIRITUAL)
The first desolation of Jerusalem occurred when the Messiah the Prince declared it to be spiritually desolate just before he was cut off from Israel by crucifixion.

Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

SECOND DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM (PHYSICAL)
The second desolation of Jerusalem, which followed the rejection of the Messiah the Prince, occurred in 70 AD when Titus destroyed the Temple and the City.

Luke 21:24 – And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

THIRD DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM (PHYSICAL)
The third desolation of Jerusalem occurred in 135 AD when Hadrian finished the desolation of Jerusalem and gave it the name of a Roman city.

FOURTH DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM (PHYSICAL)
The last desolation of Jerusalem will occur when the antichrist overruns it, sits on the temple mount, even “showing himself that he is God.”
Daniel 11:41 – He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Daniel 11:45 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
II Thessalonians 2:4 – Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Zechariah 14:1,2 – Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

The attack of antichrist will mark the beginning of the last three and one half unfulfilled years of Daniel’s 490 years, and the 490 years will be completed at

the Second Advent of the Messiah the Prince.

Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I Peter 1:18-21 – Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; [19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

RESTORATION OF JERUSALEM (SPIRITUAL & PHYSICAL)
Isaiah 62:1-12 – For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness

thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. [2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. [3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. [4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. [5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. [6] I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, [7] And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. [8] The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: [9] But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink

it in the courts of my holiness. [10] Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highways; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. [11] Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [12] And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 12:1-6 – And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. [2] Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. [3] Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. [4] And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. [5] Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

[6] Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

The Simmering Iranian Revolution

July 2, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The following series of excerpts, from a variety of news sources, will give the readers a good insight as to the nature of the type of revolution we are now observing in Iran. This particular update is really a continuation of the last blog we issued on July 1.

Keeping hope alive in Iran

Mousavi’s criticism of the Iran regime is no longer about the election – it’s about the future of the opposition movement

Baqer Moin

guardian.co.uk,

Wednesday 1 July 2009 20.30 BST

No election since the inception of the Islamic Republic has left the Iranian nation so divided in all its components as the one that took place on 12 June. It has divided the clergy in Qom, the leading political conservative or principalist actors in Tehran and the state institutions. It forced the supreme leader to side with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a great cost to his own position and the ruling clergy, undermining the very agreed consensus among the top officials. Statements issued by losing candidates Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi are a sad reflections of the Iranian reality couched in the language of hope for millions who are waiting in expectation that something might be done. “Not all is lost” is the core of their messages.

Both candidates are frank about the difficult predicaments they are in, and yet they want to keep the newly formed opposition movement united and act within the law.

They want their supporters to use every opportunity to express their disapproval of what they consider an illegitimate government.

By emphatically saying all is not lost, it seems that they are banking on creating a democratic movement based on the constitution and preparing the ground for the next election, or for a time the ruling bloc exhaust itself with its radical policies.

The pragmatics among the conservatives are concerned about the handling of the election by the Guardian Council and the supreme leader’s office. “Ahmadinejad pulled wool over the supreme leader’s eyes” a leading conservative clergy is quoted as saying. Mousavi may well be banking on the fact that the conservatives would soon start to fight each other, as has been the case the in the past. Some may see this as a pious hope.

The election has also brought to light the depth of maturity in Iran’s civil society: calm, rational and pragmatic about change. Would the civil society keep its hope alive, or would it turn into a cynical, demoralised and depoliticised mass

? This is the danger for Mousavi, Karroubi and Mohammad Khatami, the former president. That is why they are threading a fine line between remaining loyal to

the constitution and at the same time containing the radicalisation of a movement that no longer wants to take the supremacy of the clergy for granted.

Mousavi made an interesting remark in his statement that illustrate the dynamism of the Iranian situation: “At the beginning, the objective for us all in participating in the election was to bring back religious rationalism to the management of the country, but en route we were guided towards higher objectives.” He goes on to conclude: “The rulers will have to understand that peoples’ votes and will are above them all, which they no longer can ignore.”

Excerpt 1 from Washington Post

Defiant Iranian Opposition Leaders Refuse to Accept Ahmadinejad Government

Thomas Erdbrink

Three opposition leaders including leading presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, former speaker of parliament and presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi, and former president Mohammad Khatami openly defied Iran’s top political and religious authorities Wednesday, vowing to resist a government they have deemed illegitimate after official certification of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s reelection. They called for annulment of the June 12 vote and the continuation of protests.

The three made clear that they do not oppose Iran’s system of religious government, but they charged that the country is turning into a dictatorship.

(Washington Post)

Excerpt 2 from New York Post

Ahmadinejad Unwelcome in Parts of Iran

Amir Taheri (New York Post)

For 30 years, the tradition has been for each newly elected president to travel to the “holy” city of Mashad, to the tomb of Ali bin Mussa, the only one of Shiism’s twelve imams buried in Iranian soil.

This year Ahmadinejad was forced at the last minute to scrub

the trip. The authorities couldn’t guarantee the president’s safety – let alone deliver the enthusiastic, welcoming crowds that he requires for propaganda purposes.

Last Friday, his visit to Shiraz, Iran’s cultural capital, was called off on “security grounds.”

The authorities have had to deploy tens of thousands of security agents, kill dozens of protestors and imprison more than 4,000 dissidents to prevent Ahmadinejad’s victory from being challenged by millions of protest marchers every day.

He governs thanks to the batons and bayonets of the security agents – not what populist Ahmadinejad had hoped.

Opposition movement in Iran not over, experts say

Analysts say Iran protests may decrease but that opposition will persist

Some liken regime’s foes to U.S. civil rights activists of ’50s and ’60s

Post-election unrest left at least 17 people dead in Iran

Author says movement is about people seeking greater freedom

By Samari Simore (CNN)

July 1, 2009

(CNN) — The chants, the clashes, the outrage, the blood — for more than two weeks, the world watched as the fallout from Iran’s presidential elections unraveled from peaceful demonstrations to government-led crackdowns on city streets.Saying it has tallied the votes and investigated the complaints, Iran’s Islamic leadership considers the election that gave incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad an overwhelming win “case closed.” And the massive protests that concentrated in Tehran are growing thinner in number.

Yet for the hundreds of thousands who spilled into the streets — demanding that their votes be counted, their voices be heard — the movement is far from over, experts say.

“This movement isn’t going away anytime soon, but it may not manifest itself as we’ve seen as of late,” said Trita Parsi, president of the Washington-based National Iranian American Council.

But how it will play out is up for debate, w

ith some experts recalling the Islamic revolution that overtook Iran 30 years ago, while others liken the opposition players to the civil rights champions who rocked the United States.

“This is a movement that has swept across all dividing lines in Iranian society — both rich and poor, the merchants and the intellectuals, the young and old,” said Reza Aslan, author of the book “No God But God,” an analysis of Islam in politics and culture.

“They’re not united because they want certain civil rights; they are united in what they don’t want,” he added. “They don’t want the present course that is leading to the militarization of the state — other than that, they have nothing else in common.”

Still, other Iran experts who have watched the chaos unfold compare the opposition movement not to the Islamic Revolution that ushered in Iran’s theocratic establishment, but to the civil rights movement that sought to outlaw racial discrimination against black Americans in the United States in the 1950s and ’60s: A long-term push, bolstered by conviction, challenged by setbacks, moments of progress and, at times, bloodshed.

“This is a civil rights movement — this is not a revolution,” said Hamid Dabashi, professor of Iranian studies and comparative literature at Columbia University in New York. “Comparatively, we have to have a frame of reference — in this case, the civil rights movement of the United States.”

The demonstrators “acknowledged they’re not going to overthrow the government and they didn’t intend to do that,” said Pantea Beigi, a native of Iran and human rights expert with Colorado-based PeaceJam, focusing on youth movements.

“It is a closing of a chapter of events that took place, but it’s also the start of every citizen being an activist. … And as in any civil rights movement in any part of the world, it always starts like this.”

The movement will likely change strategies, possibly shifting from demonstrations to general strikes and other organized efforts, said Abbas Milani, the director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University.

“They are continuing the struggle,” Milani said. “It’s not over yet — only one aspect is over.”

Iranians understand the restrictive regime they live under. What’s at stake, experts say, is the big picture: The Islamic republic could grow into a militaristic state with more power handed to its Revolutionary Guard (think North Korea), or it could maintain its repressive state and still open lines to the West (think China).

The Revolutionary Guard — which directly answers to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei — effectively cracked down on demonstrators with its troops and members of the Basij, the guard’s paramilitary arm that dispersed the crowds and attacked scores of protesters.

Amnesty International says as many as 1,000 people, including demonstrators, dissidents and journalists, have been jailed.

“We know that there will not be some sort of huge power change or revolution, but what I believe is that Iran is at a crossroads,” Beigi said. “One road is complete militarization and control of the people and being completely cut off from the rest of the world like North Korea, and another road is being the dictatorship it is but opening up to the rest of the world and moving forward with the rest of the world in technology, in athletics and many other respects, which would in turn naturally provide a little bit more freedom for the youth each step of the way.”

Which brings us to the unlikely leader of the youth-dominated opposition, Mir Hossein Moussavi. Observers say it’s not that his supporters thought he would bring major changes to the Islamic regime — but, as a reformist, he may have shifted the government out of Ahmadinejad’ s hardline policie

s.
Iran’s election authority — the Guardian Council — initially declared Ahmadinejad the winner of the June 12 elections, sparking huge protests and, at times, clashes between demonstrators and government troops and the Basij. At least 17 protesters were killed in the chaos, according to official statistics, though the actual number may be higher.

While the protests at first signaled outrage at the election results — with the vast majority of protesters supporting Moussavi, Ahmadinejad’s chief rival — the collective movement is no longer about the elections, observers say.

Moussavi himself — Iran’s prime minister under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who spearheaded of the Islamic revolution and the overthrow of the shah of Iran — became an unlikely leader of the electoral backlash.

“This has been quite a surprise … he’s a reformist but not a revolutionary,” said Ali Alfoneh, a research fellow at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute who has researched the relationship between Iranian civilians and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

Moussavi, along with candidate Mehdi Karrubi, questioned the legitimacy of the June 12 vote count and demanded that the Guardian Council annul the results.

The council never entertained the idea.

And even though Moussavi continues to defy the government, some say he’s not a practical choice for any long-term movement.

The government has warned him to stand down, and human rights organizations have reported that his campaign advisers have been detained as political dissidents.

Thus, he, too, is at a crossroads: Will he make nice with the government and accept

the election results? Or will he choose to support the movement, risking imprisonment or expulsion?

“Mr. Moussavi may face no choice other than seeking refuge,” Alfoneh said.

Even so, Moussavi’s supporters and key figures, including senior politicians and clerics, fueled rifts within Iran’s Islamic leadership that were “evident for the whole world to see,” Dabashi said.

Khamenei, the supreme leader, publicly supported Ahmadinejad in the election while former President Mohammad Khatami –who served under Khamenei — withdrew his own bid for the 2009 presidential race to support Moussavi.

Other senior clerics — responsible for preserving the principles of the Islamic revolution and expressing loyalty to the supreme leader — spoke out against the government’ s crackdown on the prote

sts. For example, Grand Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri issued a statement on his Web site, saying that confronting protesters threatened the legitimacy of the Islamic republic because it was no longer representing the people.

The movement is about people asking for greater freedoms, Aslan said. “It’s about the people who created the Islamic republic to begin with, saying, ‘Wait a second, that’s not what we wanted.’ ”

What’s clear is that those fed up with a heavy-handed Islamic regime did make history with their movement.

Many experts suspect they will continue to do so.

“Nobody can go back to business as usual,” Dabashi said. “It doesn’t matter if they voted for Moussavi, or if they voted for Ahmadinejad — that’s entirely irrelevant.”

The candle of freedom from oppression will continued to flicker underground and behind closed doors in Iran until it has a strong enough light to shine outwardly in the midst of the darkness of tyranny generated by the current regime. The Supreme Ruler and Ahmadinejad realize this and, if they think it is becoming strong enough to overthrow them, what better way to get the public behind them, than to generate a war with Israel by getting their satellite Hizbullah to draw Israel, Daniel’s king of the south, across her northern border to start a war with Syria. It is quite possible that during the period 2010 to 2015,

the suppressed Iranian revolution will regain enough strength to cause this scenario to become a reality.

Hizbollah Will Eventually Trigger An End Time Jihad!

Daniel 11:40 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Alexander the Great, the “notable horn” in Daniel 8:5, which was “broken” and replaced by four other horns in Daniel 8:8 that represented the four generals who would divide his kingdom among themselves after his death, was still very much alive when he captured Israel in 332 B.C., only to fall dead nine years later in 323 B.C.

In the division of his kingdom into four parts, Egypt and Israel were given to Ptolemy I, and his descendants ruled over Israel until 212 B.C., when Antiochus III conquered Israel from the north, and the Seleucids ruled over Israel until 167 B.C. The many Seleucid kings that ruled over Syria were individually identified as the “king of the north” by Daniel, and he called the individual Ptolemaic kings that ruled over Israel and Egypt the “king of the south.”

Daniel prophesied Alexander’s death some 268 years before it occurred.

In Daniel’s prophecies from Daniel 11:5 to 11:45 he refers to two types of kings, kings of the north, who would rule as Syrian kings to

the north of Israel, and to kings of the south that ruled over the territory that made up the Ptolemaic kingdom to the south of Syria. So the king of the south in Daniel 11:40 is the ruler in Israel “at the time of the end,” while the willful king of

the north is the ruler in Syria. I firmly believe that it will be the terrorist army known as Hizbollah, under the directions of Syria and Iran, that will deliberately perform an act designed to get Israel to push north into Syria and Lebanon as an act of retribution, which will give international justification for 10 Arab nations, led by the Syrian ruler, to rumble south into Israel in a lightening surprise Jihad.

I have watched the rise of the Hizbollah terrorist arm for some 25 years, and observed a weaving of its tentacles across many nations in an ever increasing involvement in the amazing recent growth of worldwide terrorism. I think it worthy of giving a brief history of the movement, and an outline of its current activities, because I believe it will be the catalyst used by Islam to lure Israel into the “end time” push into the territories of Syria and Lebanon.

WILL FALLOUT OF THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION BE MIDDLE EAST WAR?

June 30, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The Iranian revolution is not over, but it has been successfully suppressed by brutal bloody masses of Ahmadinejad’s radical murderous Shiite thugs. It will continue to simmer behind closed doors from now until the government believes it will resurface on a scale that might overthrow it. At that time Iran will use Hizbullah and Hamas to trigger a war with Israel in order to unite the Iranian people in a war against the nation of Israel. If there is a danger of losing power, starting a war with enemies is a tried way of uniting all your internal enemies against a common foe. I believe the excerpt from DEBKAfile, which immediately follows, has a good possibility of being valid, with a Middle East war breaking out at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.

After Iran vote recount, Mousavi calls new gov’t ‘illegitimate’

July 1, 2009

Jpost.com staff and Sabina Amidi,

JPost correspondent , THE JERUSALEM POST

After Iran’s Guardian Council acquiesced to popular demands and conducted a recount of the contested June 12 vote which left incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power, announcing Tuesday that the election case was closed, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who has become the spearhead of the popular movement that disputed the vote, called the new government “illegitimate” in a posting on his Website Wednesday afternoon.

“It is our historical responsibility to continue our protests and not to abandon our efforts to preserve the nation’s rights,” the posting said, according to Reuters.

Mousavi also said he would join a planned association of leading figures which would follow up people’s rights and “ignored votes” in the election.

The group’s demands would include “halting security and military confrontation with the election, returning the country to a natural political atmosphere, reforming the election law to prevent vote rigging, securing freedom of holding rallies and freedom of press,” the statement said.

Mousavi also called on the authorities to release detained “children of the revolution,” in reference to scores of leading reformists arrested since the disputed poll, saying he could not compromise over people’s rights.

He called for a lifting of a ban on some moderate newspapers and websites, after Iranian authorities shut down a paper identified with Mousavi’s supporters earlier on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, sources in Iran told The Jerusalem Post in a telephone interview that six supporters of Mousavi were hanged in the holy city of Mashhad on Monday. There was no independent confirmation of the report.

Underlining the climate of fear among direct and even indirect supporters of Mousavi’s campaign for the election to be annulled, the sources also reported that a prominent cleric gave a speech to opposition protesters in Teheran earlier this week in which he publicly acknowledged that the very act of speaking at the gathering would likely cost him his life.

“Ayatollah Hadi Gafouri said that the Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] never wanted [current supreme Leader] Ali Khamenei to succeed him.
