Ahmadinejad: what's it?

That it would have never believed that the baby born on 26 October 1956 a day would grow up to be the sixth President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He was the fourth of seven children and his father was a poor, although a very devout and religious man. Mahmoud father skips work trying to support his family. Several times he was a shopkeeper, a blacksmith and a Barber.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inherited the religious zeal of his father. Even though he's only 5 '4 "seems to be that they have formed for any physical shortcomings with his intellectual prowess." It has been reported that Mahmoud was 132 over 400,000 candidates to enter the Iran University of science and technology in 1976. Although one might think that a man of such religious fervor might have a degree in Islamic theology, instead he earned a Ph.d. in transportation engineering in 1997.

Role of Ahmadinejad in the Iranian army is a bit gloomy. Intelligence sources say he was a senior officer in a unit of special forces with the Revolutionary Guard. In 2003 he became the Mayor of Tehran. He began to spout his radicalism of his mayoral soap box. "Today our great nation due and prophetic mission is to prepare for the formation of the universal rule of the Mahdi". The prophecy of the coming of the Mahdi of Ahmadinejad has had a major effect in his foreign policy as President of Iran. In a nutshell its foreign policy is removed from Israel in oblivion and the hope of an implosion of the United States to similar to what happened to the Soviet Union. The Mahdi is the Redeemer of Islam who will return to Earth in the years before the judgment of God. You will reign with Jesucristo and together to rid the world of evil and injustice. Christians resist this idea and are offended much which by those that are propagated to a concept of Jesus to share his throne with the Mahdi. A Christian this borders on blasphemy.

Ahmadinejad announced his candidacy for the Presidency in April 2005. Thousands of candidates were eliminated by the Government. The final ballet was only 8. It seems highly unlikely that Ahmadinejad, who was just elected Mayor of Tehran in 2003, would win an election for the Presidency. He was killed last while probe only 2.8 per cent of the votes. He declares a miracle of Allah who won the Presidency in runoff crushing against his opponent, Rafsanjani. Surely, this long shot for the Presidency was chosen by Allah. On the other hand, Western intelligence tells us that Iran policy is not very different from politics in Chicago.

Unusual leader of Iran has again reiterated his claim of being a kind of precursor or John the Baptist next Mahdi. It is believed that it is the end of the age, but missing a few years and the Iranian people is not to sit passively waiting for the preparation that fall from the sky. Sincerely believes that he is the 'chosen', he is actively, aggressively instigate war between the Iranian forces and those of the United States and Israel. The Mahdi does not come to establish his Kingdom up to the "great Satan" (America) and the "Small Satan" are attracted to the confrontation. Ahmadinejad says that it will use the atomic bomb once achieved it is not joke. Feel a divine calling to destroy as many 'infidels' as possible to pave the way for the Mahdi.

Addressing the United Nations General Assembly in September 2005 shocked the peoples of the world at the end of your presentation with this bold prayer, "O mighty Lord, beg you to speed up the appearance of your last repository, the promised one, that human being perfect and pure, that will fill the world with justice and peace." Once again, this is a blasphemous statement Christians who believe that Jesucristo was the only pure and perfect human being. Its perfectly qualified to sacrifice on the cross to become an effective propitiation for the sins of humanity.

Humility seems to be a foreign feature to Ahmadinejad. He stated that during his speech to the United Nations was surrounded by an aura of mysterious light and "for the duration of the twenty-seven or twenty-eight minutes, they do not blink." I am not exaggerating. I looked up and saw. They were transfixed. "It was if a hand held." Strange that nobody reported this strange appearance that day.

Some would argue that radical theology of the Christian would affect foreign policy in the same way that could radical theology of Ahmadinejad. Some might fear a repeat of the Crusades. It might very well be possible but Christ never encouraged or directed his followers to pick up the sword. Ahmadinejad has his followers became frightened in his attempt to reign destruction down quickly before the appearance of the Mahdi. Christians are instructed not to do such a thing. Tell us that no man knows the day nor the hour of the coming of his (Jesus) and therefore we are to "occupy until I come." (Luke 19: 13). The Christians were not highlighted on waging a battle. We live in peace and relief knowing that "the battle is the Lord 's"

¿Irán: Ahmadinejad Vs Jamenei - el principio del fin?

Iran not only threatens the peace of the Middle East, but now the Iranian terrorist regime is building bases of rocket launch in America of the South — specifically, Venezuela. The goal of the President Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ali Khamenei Supreme Leader is carried their form of Islam around the world--by force. Both believe that they are in direct communication with the Mahdi, the twelfth Imam (Muslim Messiah) who has "revealed" to them living in the end times.

According to Hadith, Islamic written, the twelfth Imam will be introduced to the world through global chaos, which is one of the main reasons why the Iranian regime is racing toward nuclear capability. In addition, led by Mahdi Ahmadinejad and Khamenei that Israel should be deleted prior to its introduction, which seems to be another "necessity" of nuclear weapons.

Another "necessary" step for the introduction of the Mahdi includes the predominance of the East by Iran. Thus, once Iran conquers the region, removes the Israel and create global chaos through the launch of nuclear weapons, the twelfth Imam will supposedly be step on the world stage and initiate Islamic, Sharia.

As Israeli leaders understand the objective of the Iranian regime, have announced that you could not be allowed to Iran achieve nuclear capability. Unfortunately, it does not seem that the other power in addition to Israel, what could potentially stop the nukes, United States, Iran rush will make a serious attempt to intervene, as the White House has issued statements indicating that it has accepted a nuclear Iran.

This means that Israel can potentially only stop the Iranian regime. Given that some nuclear experts have indicated that they believe that Iran will achieve nuclear capability by the end of 2011, look to Israel for launching a military attack by the end of this year.

However, Iran currently seems to be a divided House. For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fired three Ministers from the Cabinet in a game of power for control of Iran. The move comes as part of a power struggle important between Iranian President and the country's Parliament. Ironically, all three Ministers are loyal to Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad has already weakened its position significantly through the development of a conflict with the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. This perceived weakness is leading to more challenges to the authority of Ahmadinejad from internal sources, the Parliament included. In fact, Ahmadinejad's support base is bad scratch. In addition, critics are now emboldened against Ahmadinejad as a result of a confrontation with the Supreme Leader humility.

It seems that the crack in the Iranian regime is to extend a crack that began with opposition to the illegal election of Ahmadinejad to the Office of the President more than a year and a half ago. This can be important, as it could eventually lead to the fall of the regime. If, for example, Israel attack Iran, the growing Iranian opposition movement can use the resulting chaos to overthrow the regime.

Because Iran is championing of terrorism in the Middle East, Iranian regime change would dramatically affect the region. The upending of Ahmadinejad's reign hurt terrorist organizations, like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Syrian regime (if still standing, by then). In addition, the Elimination of the terrorist regime to encourage dissidents who yearn for freedom in the Middle East.

This would then provide a conducive atmosphere for the final performance of the times. For example, the Bible predicts that a Treaty of seven years between Israel and ten leaders of other Nations will be confirmed. (The Palestinians will not be between the co-signers of the Treaty and the United States, which is absent from biblical prophecy, will not be in the mix, or.) Currently, Iran stop any progress towards a Middle East Treaty with Israel through its support to terrorist Hamas (representing the Palestinians of Gaza), who recently signed an agreement of unity with Fatah (Palestinian in the West Bank) - and its pressure on the Palestinian Authority. So, with the Ahmadinejad regime in place, it seems that there will be no treaty; with the last regime, the way opens to the Treaty that will occur.

In addition, the Bible also predicts that, in connection with the Treaty of end times, leaders of the world believe that they have achieved "peace and security". But they aren't remotely possible with a support system to terrorists that is racing towards the nuclear capability of Ahmadinejad Khamenei "peace and security". However, with the last Government, "peace and security", then appear to be a realistic possibility - at least in appearance, for the region and the world.

As the gap in the Iranian regime, with the "help" of Israel, leading towards the eventual fulfillment of the prophecy of the end of time, we could see God in the work of preparation for prophetic fulfillment. That in itself it would indicate that we are living in exciting days!
