Iran’s President Ahmadinejad is a Persian, and there has been a well documented, ethical sort of disdain for the Arabs by the Persians for centuries. Ahmadinejad has traveled more to foreign capitols per unit time than any other Iranian President in history. He has visited an unprecedented number of Arabic capitols that are blacklisted as the sponsors of Islamic terrorism.
He is now coordinating future terrorist activities with one of the most vicious supporters of terrorist in Africa, the nation of Sudan.
When the Islamic Jihad attack is finally launched against Israel it will not be a haphazard operation, but a well coordinated military endeavor by the 10 toes of Daniel 2 and 11.

Iran: The Radical Wins Again

March 1, 2007
Just a few weeks ago, we were told that Ahmadinejad’s star was on the wane, but he is emerging with his position in the Khomeinist establishment strengthened.
Ahmadinejad has cast himself in the role of the proverbial Islamic holy warrior who will ride his white horse into Jerusalem to liberate it from the infidel.
The nuclear program would not have been an issue in Iran just two or three years ago – most Iranians knew nothing about it. But today, largely thanks to Ahmadinejad’s constant hammering of the theme during his ceaseless provincial tours, most Iranians are familiar with the issue. And because Ahmadinejad has presented the dispute as an attempt by the great powers to deny Iran nuclear energy, many Iranians support the regime’s position. (New York Post)

Ahmadinejad blames U.S., Israel for wars

KHARTOUM, Sudan – Iran’s president blamed the United States and Israel for the world’s problems Thursday in a lecture to Sudanese officials and intellectuals during his visit to Sudan.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s comments came as Iran and Sudan face mounting international criticism –
Iran over its nuclear activities and Sudan over the conflict in Darfur.
Earlier, Iranian and Saudi media reported that the hardline president was planning a trip to Saudi Arabia in coming days. The rival countries have been holding talks for weeks in an effort to defuse conflicts in the region, including the sectarian strife in Lebanon and Iraq.
In his lecture Thursday titled “Iran and the World,” the hardline president reiterated arguments that he has made repeatedly throughout the standoff with the United States and its Western allies over Iran’s nuclear activities.
“There is no place in the world that suffers from divisions and wars unless America or the Zionists’ fingerprints are seen there,” Ahmadinejad told his audience in Farsi translated into Arabic.
He urged Muslims to rally behind Iran and accused detractors of Iran’s nuclear program of trying to prevent a developing country from making scientific advances.
“Our strength and the cornerstone of the victory is in our (Muslims’) unity … we have to pay attention to the devils who want to cause divisions among us,” the Iranian president said.
“They want to keep science in their hands only … they don’t want the rest of the world to progress,” he said referring Iran’s nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad arrived in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, Wednesday in a show of solidarity with Sudan.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir declared support for Iran’s nuclear ambitions while Ahmadinejad said Iran viewed Sudan’s progress as important as its own.
Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany have begun discussing a new round of sanctions on Iran for failing to halt uranium enrichment by late February.
Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor accused a junior member of al-Bashir’s Cabinet and another suspect of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.
The Sudanese government has rejected the allegations and said it would not hand the men over for trial.

Daniel 11:41-43 – 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. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
[43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
I have exposited at great length on verses 41 and 42 in many Blogs. I will cover only modern day Sudan (ancient northern Ethiopia) in this Blog. In previous Blogs we exposited fully on the entrance of the antichrist into Israel from the north, his conquest of Israel north of Beersheva, his driving of Israel into the Negev, his by-passing Jordan because of a lack of strategic value, the absolute necessity of his conquest of the Suez Canal, and his preparation to enter Egypt for a strategic base of his future activities during the next three plus years.
The antichrist is to be a tactical military genius. That being the case, he will follow the only logical way to conquer Egypt. Just what is Egypt geographically? It is bordered on the west by Libya, on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the south
by Sudan, and on the east by the western border of the Gaza Strip, the Negev, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Red Sea.
However, in reality, that is not Egypt. Egypt, population wise, consists of the narrow strip of coastline (up to three miles inland) touching the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Suez, and the Red Sea, plus its major population distribution along and 20 miles either side of the Nile River and its northern delta. The antichrist will lead a Jihad coalition of 10 Islamic nations, two of which will be Libya and ancient Ethiopia, which now exists as Sudan along the southern border of Egypt. He will not want ei ther of
these nations to share in land acquisition rewards from the conquest of Egypt, but he will use them to make his victory much easier. He will instruct Libya to mass its troops along its northern coastal border with Egypt, and the Sudan to mass its troops where the Nile River enters Egypt from the south. This will force Egypt to move some of its troops to these areas in a defensive mode, and, as a result, the antichrist will take Cairo in less than a day. His troops will move rapidly west along the northern coastline, south along the eastern coastline, and down the Nile River to the Sudanese border. This will complete his conquest of Egypt. All the rest of it has less than one percent of the population, and is virtual wasteland.
In his initial conquests only 10 Islamic nations will be involved. As you may discover in volumes of previous Prophecy Updates, these 10 have been tentatively identified as being made up of Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Sudan. Those directly involved in the initial Jihad onslaught from the north will be Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, with the Palestinians attacking internally out of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Sudan will be more involved in the strategic and logistical positional support than in actual combat. However, after quick successes against Israel and Egypt, the other Islamic nations will immediately jump on his bandwagon, and suddenly all the aspirations of Mohammed, and Biblical prophecies of a final evil empire, will be fulfilled. After all the Islamic nations climb on board the Caliphate will blanket as far to the west from Cairo as Daniel’s fourth beast (Roman Empire) conquered, that is to Morocco, and as far to the east as his second and third beast (Macedonian Empire) conquered, that is to India.
I am persuaded it will include the 10 already mentioned, plus Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates.
During the three plus years of antichrist’s reign, most of Europe will come under his control or strong influence, and in the final battle of Armageddon, which closes his reign, all the nations of Europe, Africa, Eurasia, Asia, and the Middle East will join him in a final massive attack again Israel in the Negev.
The antichrist’s Caliphate will be an empire that dominates the known world in the days the prophets wrote from Isaiah and Micah in 700 B.C. to John in A.D. 95. They wrote to the people of their day and we are meant to understand it the light of how they perceived it.
There is no question that God knew the world as we know it today,
but I am convinced He meant for us, in the prophecies relating to the extent of the antichrist’s empire, to interpret it as meaning the world as the prophets knew it. So, as regards the size of his empire, when they used expressions like “the whole world, all the earth, wherever men dwell, etc.,” it does not refer to the earth as we know it today, but to the earth as it was known by the writers. These same expressions, when used as pertaining to such things as the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, do mean the earth as we know it today by implication of the directive. The believing world today waits for an antichrist that will dominate the whole world as we know it today and, quite frankly, they could be right.
I am prepared for that!
But I am also prepared for an antichrist that dominates the aforementioned areas I have outlined. There is a distinct possibility of this eventuality. So watch the Middle East, and if such an empire does arise, then don’t set on your duff waiting for an antichrist to arise out of Europe that will dominate all the world as we know it today. If I am correct in what I believe as to the size and dominion of his empire, then it will shatter end time teachings that arose in the early nineteenth century, and eventually solidified in the twentieth century. In any case, I am convinced that the next six years is likely to settle the question as to the correct interpretation.
