Iran’s President supports deal, but does not want his pariliament to make it a ‘legal obligation.’ Is Barack Obama’s role in this consistent with prophecy?

Hassan Rouhani

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani explained at a press conference that the nuclear deal is voluntary and Iran should not make it obligatory:

August 29, 2015

TEHRAN, Iran — President Hassan Rouhani said Saturday he opposes a parliamentary vote on the landmark nuclear deal reached with world powers because terms of the agreement would turn into legal obligations if passed by lawmakers.

Rouhani told a news conference that the deal was a political understanding reached with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany, not a pact requiring parliamentary approval. The deal also says Iran would implement the terms voluntarily, he said.

The historic deal calls for limiting Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

“If the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is sent to (and passed by) parliament, it will create an obligation for the government . it will mean the president, who has not signed it so far, will have to sign it,” Rouhani said. “Why should we place an unnecessary legal restriction on the Iranian people?”

Of course, Iran’s leader believes that the West unfreezing financial assets must be obligatory for Iran to even consider voluntarily cooperating on this deal.

Iran gambled that the West wanted a deal so badly that it would make a deal closer to what Iran wanted–and it has. The deal agreed to last month will give Iran access to about 90-150 billion dollars of frozen assets that Iran can use again. Some of those assets will likely be used for its economy and to partially deal with the Islamic State, but other funds will likely go to terrorist groups and other groups that oppose the USA and/or Israel.

Iran is still involved in international terrorism.

Of course, the deal still is before the Congress of the USA and its President Obama (and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton) has pushed for the deal. Many in the US Congress oppose the proposed deal. However, if they vote it down, they would apparently need a two-third’s majority to override a likely presidential veto. If the US Congress does get a 2/3rds majority and goes against UN approval for the deal (which already has happened, see UN approves Iran deal, US tells Israel it may need to agree to disagree), this will make the USA look bad on the world scene.

So, what will happen with Iran? What does it really want?

Iran wants to takeover Jerusalem and lead the Islamic world. It then wants to takeover the world. It would prefer to knock out the USA whenever it can and it believes that mystical powers will allow it to do that.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has already said that his own election was because of the intervention of a mystical Imam Madhi, who Shi’ite Muslims (the type that predominate in Iran) believe has been alive for over 1300 years and who will become publicly manifested in the end times to bring victory to Iran over non-Muslims (see Iran’s President-elect wants to negotiate with the USA and credits the ‘Islamic messiah’ for his election).

Why is any of this ‘Imam Mahdi’ rhetoric of any value. Well, among other reasons, because there is old Shiite prophecy involving him that seems to tie him in with someone like Barack Hussein Obama personally. Notice what Forbes’ writer Amir Taheri reported:

Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

…a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”

In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.

Since we are near the end of times and Barack Hussein Obama is considered to be black and he is basically the “ruler in the West” and he now leads the” strongest army on earth,” it makes sense that a lot of Shiite Muslims could believe that he may fit that Islamic prophecy.

Information on this prophecy was also in another article in Arabic that was translated into English:

According to the text that is the foundation of modern Shiite Islam, a prophecy that a tall black man would rule the West portends the coming of the Islamic redeemer.

Ali Ibn Abi-Talib—the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law and the most revered figure in Shiite Islam—prophesied that before the return of the Mahdi, the ultimate redeemer in Islam, a tall black man will rule the West and will carry a “clear sign” from the Third Imam,Hussein Ibn Ali, according to the report by Iranian-born, London-based journalist Amir Taheri…

The Mahdi (Arabic for “the guided one”), is supposed to return before Judgment Day to eliminate injustice and tyranny. The appearance of the Mahdi is not mentioned in the Quran or the Sunnah (Prophet’s teachings), and many Sunni scholars view it as a Shiite invention…in the 132-volume work by Shiite scholar Mullah Majlisi (Nayouf, Hayyan. Translated from Arabic by Sonia Farid. Shiite scholar denies Obama link to Muslim savior. Dubai. November 4, 2008. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2008/11/04/59490.html viewed 05/19/09).

The fact that his name also seems to closely fit that prophecy suggests that he may. And while in I do not believe that Barack Hussein Obama himself believes that “he is with us” (as “o bama” apparently means in Persian) refers to him in that prophecy, the fact is that no other USA president has ever been as close to Muslims as President Obama. And no US President has ever supported a deal remotely like this with Iran.

At this moment, the Obama Administration keeps trying to tell everyone what a great deal it made with Iran while Iran keeps making statements that it plans to do what it wants and that it will not have to comply with the deal. Barack Obama IS with Iran by pushing for the deal, which Barack Obama claims will lead to peace.

As I have written before, a temporary peace will come to the Middle East (cf. Daniel 9:27, see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27), but this Iranian deal is not that one.

Notice also the following:

August 29, 2015

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney launched a broad attack against President Barack Obama’s foreign policy in an excerpt of a forthcoming book that was published in The Wall Street Journal on Friday.

Both Cheneys accused Obama of lying about the Iran nuclear deal and said that the agreement would lead to the first use of a nuclear weapon since 1945.

“Nearly everything the president has told us about his Iranian agreement is false. He has said it will prevent the Iranians from acquiring nuclear weapons, but it will actually facilitate and legitimize an Iranian nuclear arsenal,” they wrote. “The Obama agreement will lead to a nuclear-armed Iran, a nuclear-arms race in the Middle East and, more than likely, the first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

The Obama administration has aggressively defended the deal, saying that it cuts off all pathways to a nuclear bomb. Secretary of State John Kerry has said that a better deal simply does not exist. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dick-cheney-iran-deal_55e20a7de4b0c818f618224c

Iran wants a nuclear bomb and the proposed deal will not prevent it from acquiring one.

The reality is that Iran hopes to takeover the Islamic world, then the rest of the world. It may well feel emboldened to do so once it gets most of its financial assets back like the proposed deal provides for. Bible prophecy, however, does not show that Iran will lead the Arab world (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:2-9), thus the deal that President Obama is pushing will likely cause Iran to do something that will result in its power/influence ultimately being reduced.

Iran is dangerous, and it is subject to being hurt by its own actions and statements (cf. Jeremiah 49:34-38).

Iran has no real interest in world peace and no one in the West should believe otherwise. Today’s statements by its President Rouhani are additional confirmation of that.
