Hello World:
Today I want to mention briefly about Christians in Iran who are being persecuted. As many of you know, I have discussed Iran on several occassions here in years past. I have discussed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the falsehood of the Ayatollah, and I mentioned about the nuclear debate with Iran. I have mentioned about Jews living in Iran, but I had not covered Christians living in Iran.
There are Christians who live in Iran, and who visit Iran who are persecuted when they are found out. I have read and seen reports of Christians being imprisioned because they are Christians. This is not right. To those Christians who have been put in prison in Iran, and to each and every Christian in Iran, God sees you, and God knows what you are going through. Be encouraged and continue to trust in Him, because He is there with you.
Wherever you are in Iran, or whatever you are going through, God is there with you. I am praying for God to deliver the persecuted and imprisioned Christians, and I believe it is very important for Christian believers worldwide to pray for the Christians in Iran, and pray for Christians who are persecuted in other parts of the world, especially Christians who are in predominately Islamic countries. Again, I want the Christians in Iran to know that God is on your side.
I ask that Ahmadinejad free or release all Christians from prisons or jails in Iran, and I also ask Ahmadinejad to fight to stop all persecutions against Christians in Iran? God is NOT happy with the way Christians are being persecuted and imprisioned by the Iranian government. God is also NOT happy, and has NEVER BEEN happy, with the mistreatment of Christians in many other countries.
Ahmadinejad made some comments about Israel that were under dispute a few years back. There were several reports that said Ahmadinejad said he wants to wipe Israel off the map. Many people everywhere, including many Christians interpreted that as him meaning he wants to kill all Jews. However, I believe everybody is wrong with that interpretation.
Ahmadinejad did DENY that he said he wants to kill the Jews. I believe that what Ahmadinejad said is political rhetoric. I believe what he really was saying is that he wants the land that is called today by the name Israel, to be under a different name. NOT meaning to literally blow up the land of Israel or get a nuclear bomb and kill all the Jews in Israel. No.
Another way of saying what Ahmadinejad is saying, is that he wants the Israeli government to fall, or the Israeli/Zionist government to collapse. People need to understand saying that, is VERY DIFFERENT from saying kill all the Jews. The western media is trying to spin that against Ahmadinejad. It is also a combination of western brainwashing with word meaning and differences between western and eastern languages.
I do NOT believe that Ahmadinejad's aim, for himself, is to kill all Jews, key word there being all. Evidence of that, as I proved in my archives, which mention that there are some 25,000 Jews still living in Iran today; who seemingly are not in danger of dying or being killed, and whom COULD NOT even be bought or paid by the Israeli government to leave Iran.
Now Islam as a whole may want to kill all Jews, because it is believed from reports that the religious doctrine of Islam, in itself, calls for death or slavery to Islam for all NON-converts. However, again, this is not happening to Jews inside Iran, as of right now or with today's post. As I reported earlier, above, Christians are being persecuted and some have been marked for death in Iran, but not Jews.
I also want to ask Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to come to Jesus Christ. I also want to ask Muammar Gaddafi to come to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not just or only for the west or only for a certain race of people. Jesus Christ is for anyone who believes in Him that He is the Savior. Jesus Christ is for you Ahmadinejad and for you too, Gaddafi, if you will believe on Him and repent. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He is God, He is the Savior and He is uncomparably higher than Mohammed. It is not too late for each of you, yet.
I wish I could talk to Ahmadinejad and Gaddafi face to face about Jesus. I would ask Ahmadinejad to go and visit a Christian church service somewhere, and see what it is like. You know, there is a lot of talk that Ahmadinejad is in trouble with the Ayatollah and Iranian clerics, and that he, Ahmadinejad may get ousted from power by religious leaders in his own party. It seems like he may not be President of Iran too much longer.
It would be really something if Ahmadinejad and Gaddafi both went into exile or left their countries, and became born-again Christians by accepting Jesus Christ. I believe for them to be safe from religious persecution or from being killed, they would have to go to a country that is friendly to Christians.
I want to come back in the next post to say more about nuclear energy issues and problems concerning Iran and Japan, and discuss a little about Greece an Somalia.
