We titled our previous BLOG as: “Will Mudville Ahmadinejad Strike Out?” Then followed it with a perversion of the famous “Casey at the Bat” – “Somewhere the Sun is Shinn ing
and somewhere Fanatics shout, but there will be no War this Weekend, if Iranian Radicals Strike Out!”
The DEBKAfile article quote in our previous BLOG was systematic to our title, and read as follows.
“DEBKAfile reports that up until now, the moderate pragmatists are on top of the debate. Forcing the radical president to postpone his press conference
gave them a victory. But the debate continues and is still unresolved.”
Well, happily, the moderate pragmatists won the debate, and President Ahmadinejad struck out, which created joy in Great Britain
and the free world. But, as I have maintained for some time, at some point in time the Islamic radicals will gain control in the terrorist countries.
My guesstimate is it will be at a point in time between 2008 and 2012. I believe the final war of this age will begin in the Middle East at some point in time after 2008 begins and before 2012 ends.
How do I know the Islamic Radical’s ideology will eventually become the predominant mindset of the Islamic world? How do I know Islamic pragmatists will eventually lose to the radicals, thereby instigating the final war in the Middle East? Since I believe all Scripture must be fulfilled, then my answer is the cumulative conclusion portrayed by the following Scriptures.
Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
[25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 17:17 – For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
II Thessalonians 2:8-12 –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.
Matthew 24:32,33 – Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Iranian TV: British sailors will leave Teheran on Thursday
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
April 4, 2007
Iranian state television on Wednesday showed British sailors talking to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the country’s presidential palace apparently as they were being released.
The footage showed Ahmadinejad shaking hands with the sailors and smiling and chatting.
A caption to the footage said the conversation was taking place as part of the “process of release” of the British sailors.
The channel said that the British sailors would leave Iran on a plane
on Thursday.
At the meeting, the sailors were wearing suits and spoke to the president through a translator.
“We appreciate it. Your people have been really kind to us, and we appreciate it very much,” one of the seized sailors could be heard on the footage saying in English to Ahmadinejad.
One the sailors also was heard saying in English: “We are grateful for your forgiveness.” Ahmadinejad responded in Farsi “You are welcome.”
Earlier Wednesday the Iranian president had announced in a press conference that he had pardoned
the 15 British sailors and marines that Iran seized in the Gulf last month and would release them immediately.
“I announce the freedom and return [of the sailors] to the people of Britain. I request the government
of Mr. Blair not to question these people or put them on trial for speaking the truth, and I request Mr. Blair that rather than increase international controversy and the occupation of other lands, [he should] take steps towards peace, truthfulness and justice,” Ahmadinejad said.
“On the occasion of the birthday of the great prophet (Muhammad) … and for the occasion of the passing of Christ, I say the Islamic Republic government and the Iranian people – with all powers and legal right to put the soldiers on trial – forgave those 15,” he continued, referring to the Muslim prophet’s birthday last Saturday and Easter, next Sunday.
“This pardon is a gift to the British people,” he said.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s office says it “welcomes” the release of the sailors but are still studying the implications of such a gesture and shall release an official reaction only after they have properly assessed the news.
The Iranian president announced the pardon minutes after he gave medals of honor to the Iranian coast guards who intercepted the sailors and marines, saying Iran will never accept trespassing of its territorial waters.
“On behalf of the great Iranian people, I want to thank the Iranian Coast Guard who courageously defended and captured those who violated their territorial waters, the president told a press conference.
He then interrupted his speech and pinned medals on the chests of three Coast Guard officers involved in capturing the British sailors and marines in the northern Gulf on March 23.
“We are sorry that British troops remain in Iraq and their sailors are being arrested in Iran,” Ahmadinejad said.
He criticized Britain for deploying Leading Seaman Faye Turney, one of the 15 detainees, in the Gulf, pointing out that she is a woman with a child. “How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children? Why don’t they respect family values in the West?” he asked of the British government.
The announcement came 45 minutes after the beginning of his speech about the grievances Iran has suffered from the hands of the West over history.
