NEW ORLEANS – Iran is the greatest threat to the world and its nuclear program must be stopped…

“The greatest danger facing the world is the prospect of a nuclear Iran,” he said. “It sponsors terror in Lebanon and Gaza, confronts the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, establishes beachheads in Saudi Arabia. Its influence has spread even to this hemisphere in South America. It has done all this without nuclear weapons. Imagine what it will do with them. http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?id=194512

The Israeli prime minister probably does not expect the world to do very much. He may be making these statements to justify Israel taking future military actions against Iran on its own.

Much of the leadership in Iran is looking forward to war as its current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, feels that a war may result in the rise of a religious figure known as the Imam Mahdi. The Imam Mahdi (who sounds like he could be the final King of the South in Bible prophecy) is supposed to lead the Islamic world to various victories according to most Shi’a and some Sunni Muslims.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has already gone on record that he is opposed to the current Middle East peace talks (see Iran’s Ahmadinejad Does Not Want Peace). He apparently wants war.

It may take one or more wars in the Middle East to end up with the peace deal that the Bible seems to be referring to in Daniel 9:27. But that deal may happen as soon as 2011 or 2012.

Some items of possibly related interest may include:

The Arab World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What does Islam teach about the Imam Mahdi?
Is There A Future King of the South? Some no longer believe there needs to be. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Is he the Imam Mahdi? What does the Bible say?
Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel Are the Americans, Canadians, British, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?
Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided? Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people?
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2010, 2011, or 2012? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
