Iran’s ‘King of the South’ Plan

Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Iran

A former CIA agent who was born in Iran, made some comments on Iran’s plan:

If it were up to Reza Kahlili, he would immediately order a bombing of his native Iran, in order to halt its nuclear program and bring down the Islamic Republic and the ayatollahs. And since he doesn’t believe the United States will do that, he hopes Israel will…

In his book and lectures, Kahlili tries to convey one message: The Iranian regime is a danger to world peace. When asked whether a nuclear Iran would ever consider using its destructive weapons, he replies that the West doesn’t understand Iran.

“I strongly think that the establishment running Iran right now is a messianic one, the true believers of Mahdaviat, those believing in the end of times. They have gone through centuries-old hadiths and believe that most of the signs of the return of the last Messiah have already taken place. The only one remaining is to destroy Israel, attack the oil fields in the Persian Gulf and European capitals, and activate their agents inside the U.S. This would bring about the chaos, lawlessness and total breakdown in the global economy where one-third of the world’s population will die and the rest will experience extreme hardship. This is when they believe that Imam Mahdi will reappear, killing the rest of the infidels.” (Melman Y.

Now the above will not happen quite as described, but it does make several points (and consequences) that I would like to address.

Many believe that Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be addressed militarily, probably by Israel.
Actions by Muslim terrorists in Europe tend to increase the Europeans against Islam.
Military actions often end up with some type of ‘peace deal’.
Iran’s leaders believe that various signs preparing the way for the Imam Mahdi have already taken place. Several of those are documented in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect (especially chapter 8).
The one that Shi’ite and some Sunni Muslims refer to as the Imam Mahdi seems to be the similar to the final King of the South in Daniel 11, and the King of the South will eventually provoke the Europeans into a major war.
The end of Islam as a major player will happen shortly after Israel and the United States are effectively eliminated.
For a scriptural sequence, recall that the Bible teaches that the nation of Israel starts on the road of being eliminated beginning in Daniel 11:31 (which is what Jesus warned about in Matthew 24:15), the USA is taken over in Daniel 11:39, and the final King of the North is provoked by the King of the South in Daniel 11:40 and then eliminates the King of the South and his supporters in Daniel 11:40-43.

And while Iran’s ‘King of the South’ plan will not work out as it intends, Iran’s actions are highly likely to provoke enough warfare that many in the Islamic world will look an Imam Mahdi type leader AND will be willing to accept a peace deal such as the one in Daniel 9:27.

Notice the following which is attributed to Mohammed (there are several accepted spellings):

Rasaullah [Muhammed] said: “There will be four peace agreements between you and the Romans [Christians]. The fourth agreement will be mediated through a person who will be the progeny of Hadrat Haroon [Honorable Aaron — Moses’ brother] and will be upheld for seven years.

Thus, a deal between someone from Europe (Romans above) and Israel (descendant of Aaron) and an Islamic leader is expected.

An Islamic prophetic writer wrote the following:

…a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you and the Banil Asfaar (Romans) which they will break and attack you.

Hence, some within Islam seem to understand that a temporary, but false peace, will happen with it broken by an attack from the Europeans. (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, 2009, pp. 83-84).

Thus, certain Islamic plans parallel the Bible and will come to pass, though more precisely as the Bible, and not their traditions, teach.

Events are moving forward in the Middle East and Iran for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Some items of possibly related interest may include:
