God is in Control
Today Persians go to the polls to vote in the next President of Iran. These elections are rigged. “First, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his cabinet of clerics (the “Guardian Council”) have already chosen four presidential contenders. They denied another 450 or so applicants from even being considered. This gives you a little taste of what democracy means in Iran.”(Joel Rosenberg’s Weblog)
This is Alireza Jafarzadeh’s, a leading Iranian pro-democracy dissident based in Washington, summary of the four radical leaders that have been chosen to “run.”:
- “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, by his own admission, was part of the quintet of the Central Committee of the Office of the Unity which led and operationally oversaw the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979. He was the special operations officer in the 6th special corps of IRGC’s Qods Force, responsible for sabotage and cross-border missions. In his current hat, he oversees his government’s expanding drive to perfect the nuclear fuel cycle and acquire the ultimate weapon.
- “Mir Hossein Moussavi is the current reincarnation of the moderate political animal in Iran. He was a founding member of the Islamic Republic Party- think of it as the mullahs’ Third Reich. Among honors on his resume, he lists: 144 extraterritorial assassinations during the premiership, the massacre of nearly 30,000 political prisoners on the eve of the signing of the 1988 UN Iran-Iraq cease-fire accord, and the 1983 embassy and marine barrack bombings in Beirut.
- “Mohsen Rezai ranks high in the pantheon of terror. He commanded the IRGC during the disastrous war with Iraq, with ultimate responsibility for sending tens of thousands of under-aged adults to their death in the battle fronts as human mine sweepers, many of whom were shrouded in army-issued blankets to prevent their body parts from splattering. Rezai played a decisive role in coordinating and directing the 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires, for which he was implicated by an Argentine court and for whom, in 2007, Interpol issued an arrest warrant.
- “Mehdi Karoubi is the least consequential. Nevertheless, he occupies a special place among the regime hierarchy. For, he is a permanent member of the Expediency Council, chaired by former president, Rafsanjani.”
The Supreme leader Khamenei hates America and Israel from the bottom of his heart and he will use whoever he chooses to secure his nuclear weapons.(washingtonpost) And these elections are just more time wasters to build nuclear weapons, in order to bring in their Islamic Messiah, known as the Twelfth Imam or the Mahdi.
We must remember that God is in control and He will put in to power whoever He wants, for His good purpose. We must pray that more Persians come to Jesus Christ. And fortunately more and more Muslims are seeing the light and choosing to believe in the Prince of Peace. Praise God!
We must pray for people around the world to find Jesus soon in these end times. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding be with us all.
