Iranian Internal Protests Will Aid False Peace Generation,
Internal Revolution In Iran Will Have a Favorable Result By
Changes In INTENT Of Initial Purposes Of Iranian Revolution!
The original motivational purpose behind the election Protests
Is undergoing transformational changes toward a different Goal!
It will be interesting to See if Dictatorial Hardline Mullahs Will Kill It
By overwhelming military and police state force and great Bloodshed,
Or if only a show of military and police state force” can defuse Protests,
In either case the activity in Iran is a part of the beginning of False Peace!

While the U.S. has been caught up in the notorious “change” President’s activities, the Iranian President and the Mullah’s find themselves caught up in an electorate that wants “change.” All this is directed toward a worldwide government “change,” but the change is the “change” referred to as THE SECOND ADVENT, followed by the Millennial Reign of the world’s new King, the Lord Jesus Christ.
However the current revolutionary activity turns out, it will weaken the government of Ir an, even if they continue to rule with
an iron hand. The door may well be open to deceitful negotiations with the West leading to a brief period of false peace, in an effort to deceive the U.S. and Israel into believing a lie, and to quietly accommodate their own regime’s internal populace.
This internal revolution will weaken their economy. Consequently, the huge flow of cash and weapons to Hizbullah, Hamas, and their other terrorist affiliates, will not be as robust. So the Iranian sponsored terrorist groups and buddies, scattered over hill and dale, will be much more inclined to agree to a period of deceitful false peace in order to recover their balance from the Iranian uprising now going on.
The root cause of the major problems in the Middle East is Religion. It has, since the Koran was written hundreds of years after the New Testament completion, been the creation of darkness that attempts to counter the redemptive work of God’s Son, the Savior Christ Jesus. The Islamic Religion is the spirit of antichrist. It is now accepted as the faith of the one true god Allah, who has no son, and the redemptive work of Jesus is made void because they do not believe he sacrificed himself by his death on the cross, shedding his blood for their sins. Martyrdom to get them into heaven is not the shed blood of Christ, but the shedding of their own blood. More than one-sixth of the world’s population believes this strong delusion, which is the essence of the spirit of antichrist. The Antichrist himself is likely, in my OPINION, to be revealed at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
II Thessalonians 2:8-17 – And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: [14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. [16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, [17] Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word
and work.
A little more than one-sixth of the Antichrist’s military force will be destroyed in the Tribulation Period. He is Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Ezekiel 39:1-6 – Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: [3] And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. [4] Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. [5] Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Elections in Iran – Part IV: The Protests – A Civil Revolution?
By: A. Savyon *
June 18, 2009
The following is an analysis of the events in Iran following the June 12, 2009 presidential election:
Up to now, the current mass protests in Iran have had three prominent characteristics:
1. They were not directed by the leaders whom the demonstrators support;
2. They were not backed by any senior religious figure; [1]
3. They focused on the issue of election fraud, and did not present any positive ideological agenda challenging that of the regime.
Now, however, several changes are taking place: [2]
1. Iranian civil society – primarily youth, students and women – does not seem to be capitulating, but is forcing the weak leaders (Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, along with Khatami and Rafsanjani, who support them) to take the helm and lead the public protests.
Mousavi and Karroubi (with Khatami’s backing) are indeed starting to take charge, calling on the protesters to stage peaceful demonstrations dressed in mourning, to signify their solidarity with the protesters who were killed. (Such protests are part of the collective Iranian memory and have powerful connotations for the Iranians). [3]
2. For the first time, Mousavi is receiving some support from a religious authority. Ayatollah Asadollah Bayat Zanjani wrote on his website, “Now is the time to stand firm against those who oppose the law and who, out of selfishness, disrespect the law and the will of the majority of the people.” He added that he had been warning for years about the course of the regime, which is drawing farther and farther away from Khomeini’s way and philosophy, thereby turning the Islamic Republic into an Islamic regime (i.e. divesting it of its republican features). [4] Ayatollah Yousef Sanei, known as a critic of the regime, has likewise expressed his support for Mousavi – though he has offered only to pray for him, explaining that he (Sanei) is isolated and that nobody listens to him. [5]
3. The protests have taken on a positive ideological message. According to reports, in the past few days the protestors have been distributing a seven-article manifesto; so far it is not known who published it. This document calls, inter alia, for impeaching Khamenei and Ahmadinejad; for appointing Ayatollah Ali Hossein Montazeri as temporary leader until a committee is established to reassess the constitution; for recognizing Mousavi as the legal president of Iran; for forming a new government; for immediately freeing all political prisoners; and for dissolving all oppressive regime institutions, both known and secret. [6]
It should be noted that although the protestors (especially the youth, women, and students) want to see a change in the regime, the leaders of the protest movement – Mousavi, Karroubi, Rafsanjani and Khatami – wish to preserve the existing regime frameworks, for they are part of the Islamic Revolution and were among its founders.
None of them has so far come out against Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and their main demand is to hold new elections, stop the regime’s oppressive measures against the public, and free the detainees of the last few days. [7]
It should also be noted that there are several different groups among the protesters, and that some of these want to preserve the Islamic Republic regime in its present form. Therefore, it is hard to predict where the protests will lead.
If in the past the Iranian regime managed to suppress sectorial protests (by students, intellectuals, workers, and women), the present protests erupted because a national common denominator emerged – namely rage over the election fraud – which spans all sectors of Iranian civil society.

[1] On June 13, 2009, Mousavi called on the clerics of Qom to denounce the injustice that had been perpetrated in the election, saying that silence on their part would be more harmful than the election fraud itself. But his call met with no response (Aftab, Iran, June 13, 2009). Even Iran’s most senior ayatollah, Ali Hossein Montazeri, who opposes the regime, said that the protests were justified but called on the demonstrators to maintain the public order (website of Montazeri’s office, Iran, June16, 2009). The clerics of the prominent religious organization Jame-ye Rohaniyat-e Mobarez (Combatant Clergy Association), who support Mousavi, likewise urged his supporters to refrain from taking to the streets and to maintain the public order, in accordance with the Islamic principle that “tyranny is better than anarchy.” They stated that the harsh disputes of the election were part of the election campaign and must not be carried further, because any sort of riots and disorder only benefited Iran’s enemies. The organization called to maintain the unity of the nation and to obey the Supreme Leader. (ILNA, Iran, June 14, 2009).
Finally, the daily Jomhouri-ye Eslami, which is associated with the religious seminaries in Qom, likewise refrained from fully backing the protests, though it officially supports Rafsanjani. On June 16, it stated that the riots of the last few days in Tehran ran counter to the interests of the state and the regime, and were unacceptable. It explained that the reservations about the election results must not lead to clashes and riots. While calling on the regime to look into the three candidates’ complaints, the paper stressed that they and their followers must keep their actions within the confines of the law. It added that the protests were presented in the foreign media as heralding the end of the regime, and warned against assisting this foreign propaganda.

[2] An examination of the Iranian protest movements in the last 100 years – such as the Tobacco Protest of 1891-2, the Constitutional Revolution of 1905-6, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution itself – reveals that their political success depended on several key factors. One such factor is the presence of a senior religious leadership that directed the movement or at least supported it. Ano ther is
the existence of a compelling ideological agenda, presented as a challenge and alternative to
the existing oppressive order.
In the recent Iranian elections, it was Ahmadinejad – rather than his rivals – who presented the public with a clear ideological, political, economic and cultural agenda under the slogan of “Second Islamic Revolution.”
[3] Peaceful anti-regime protests by demonstrators dressed in shrouds took place during the 1891-2 Tobacco Protest and during the Islamic Revolution.
