Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said this week that Israel will not survive another 25 years (“Iran Deal,” Breitbart, Sept. 9, 2015). On Twitter, Khamenei said, “God willing, there will be nothing as Zionist regime by next 25 years.” Khamenei is a big user of Twitter. November 8, 2014, he tweeted, “This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated.” In an address to an assembly of tens of thousands of Basij militiamen in November 2013, Khamenei declared that Israel was doomed to fail and characterized the “Zionist regime” as the “sinister, unclean rabid dog of the region.” He said Israelis “cannot be called human beings.” Footage of the event showed the crowd shouting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” In an address in Tehran in September of this year, General Moshen Kazzemeinni said, “The Islamic Revolution will continue enhancing its preparedness until it overthrows Israel and liberates Palestine” (“Commander: Iran Continues Military Enhancement until Collapse of Israel,” Fars News Agency, Sep. 2, 2015). This is the outfit with whom the Obama administration has made a life or death treaty. The Bible tells us exactly what is going to happen, both to Iran and to Israel. Israel will be deceived by the Antichrist and one-third of the Jews will be converted during the Tribulation and enter Christ’s kingdom when He returns. A converted Israel will be at heart of that kingdom. Iran, which is ancient Persia, is going to join the Gog/Magog military coalition described in Ezekiel 38 and be destroyed on Israel’s mountains. “And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet. ... And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone” (Ezekiel 38:3-5, 22).
