The two articles which follow, the first from YNet News, and the second from the New York Post, present the weird prophetic dreams of the once great 600 B.C. Persian Empire of Biblical Daniel’s day, mixed with a hodgepodge of the Qoran and Islamic traditional prophetic teachings since 600 A.D.!

Ahmadinejad: What would Jesus do Today
?
Iranian president in New Year’s message to Christians: ‘God willing, Jesus will return with Imam Mahdi and wipe away oppression’

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a greeting to the world’s Christians for the coming New Year, in which he has linked Christianity’s deity, Jesus, with the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, saying he expected both to return and “wipe away oppression.”
“I wish all the Christians a very happy new year and I wish to ask them a question as well,” the Iranian leader said, according to the Iranian Student News Agency.
“My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries
? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?” the Iranian president asked.
“If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?” He added.
‘Occupiers warned to evacuate Iraq’
Ahmadinejad then linked Jesus with Imam Mahdi, a Shiite leader believed by the Iranian president to have gone into hiding centuries ago, and who is expected by Shiite Muslims to return and usher in a period of messianic dominance for Islam.
“All I want to say is that the age of hardship, threat and spite will come to an end someday and God willing Jesus would return to the world along with the emergence of the descendant of the Islam’s Holy Prophet, Imam Mahdi and wipe away every tinge of oppression, pain and agony from the face of the world,” Ahmadinejad said.
The Iranian president also called on the United States and Britain to evacuate Iraq, saying, “We warn the occupiers that if they do not evacuate Iraq on their own accord, then the powerful hands of the Iraqi nation would do that and cast them out of this country in shame and humiliation.”

I wonder what the Wise Men, who observed the Star of Jesus to the west as they stood in the eastern area of the vast Persian Empire, would have thought of Ahmadinejad’s Eschatology teachings.
Matthew 2:1-6 – Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, [2] Saying, W here is
he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
[3] When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. [4] And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. [5] And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, [6] And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Although presented in religious terms, Ahmadinejad’s ambition to restore Iran’s position as the dominant regional power has deep roots in Persian nationalism. Ever since it emerged as a state over 25 centuries ago, Iran has always tried to extend its western frontiers and reach the Mediterranean.
With the shattering of the balance of power in the Middle East, partly thanks to U.S. intervention that destroyed Iran’s enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq, such moves are no longer regarded as a fantasy
in Tehran.
Iran is already present in Iraq and hopes to dominate the county once the U.S. has abandoned it. Iranian influence is also expanding in Syria, where Iran maintains a major security presence while thousands of Syrians are converting to the Khomeinist brand of Shiism. Iran is also trying to seize control of Lebanon through its Hizballah proxies, who have declared war on Premier Siniora’s democratic government.
Ahmadinejad has claimed that the U.S. was already defeated in the Middle East. “They are like rubble, and we are like the flood,” he said. “That kind of talk can only lead to war,” says Sami Faraj, an expert in regional security. “Ahmadinejad feels that, with the U.S. wavering in Iraq, nothing can stop him.
The region may have to pay a high price to prove him wrong.” (New York Post)
