Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke outside of the United Nations building in New York on Tuesday, which was also the start of Yom Kippur, the most holy Jewish holiday.

Ahmadinejad said, "Iran has been around for the last seven, 10 thousand years.  They (Israelis) have been occupying those territories for the last 60 to 70 years, with the support and force of the Westerners.  They have no roots there in history.  We do believe that they have found themselves at a dead end and they are seeking new adventures in order to escape this dead end.  Iran will not be damaged with foreign bombs.  We don't even count them as any part of any equation for Iran.  During a historical phase, they (the Israelis) represent minimal disturbances that come into the picture and are then eliminated," reported The Wall Street Journal. 

In October 2005, Ahmadinejad quoted the Ayatollah Khomeini, who said, "Israel must be wiped off the map."  In 2008, Ahmadinejad said, "Israel has reached the end of its function and will soon disappear off the geographical domain."  Iran's Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said, "The Iranian nation is standing for its cause, that is the full annihilation of Israel." 

This threat of genocide against the Jews and Israel goes back to the 1980's, during Iran's revolution, when Ayatollah Khomeini said, "One of our major points is that Israel must be destroyed." 

You can see Obama in the photo above, hugging Ahmadinejad, as though they are the very best of friends.  You will rarely see Obama hug anyone and smile as big as he does in that photo, nor Ahmadinejad.  Yet, Ahmadinejad makes it no secret that he hates America as much as he does Israel, referring to America as "big satan" and Israel as "little satan."  Knowing Ahmadinejad hates Israel and America as much as he does, why do you suppose Obama and Ahmadinejad are so "chummy?"  Does Ahmadinejad know something about Obama's mindset that we American's don't even know?

Obama is certainly doing little to nothing to help protect Israel against annihilation.  He faced heavy criticism from Romney for referring to the unrest in the Middle East as "bumps in the road" and dismissing concern for Iran's nuclear program as "noise."  Mitt Romney retorted, "These are no 'bumps in the road.'  These are human lives."

During his UN speech yesterday, Obama said, "The United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."  The cold reality is that after nearly four years of failed diplomacy and half-hearted sanctions, which he opposed until Congress forced his hand, neither Iran nor Israel believe him, reported The Wall Street Journal. 

With Iran's imminent threat against Israel, and Russia's full support, we can see the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 unfolding before our eyes:

"The Word of the Lord came unto me (Ezekiel) saying, 'Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (modern day Russia), and prophesy against him and say, 'Thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against you, oh Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and I will turn you back and put hooks in your jaws and I will bring you forth with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia (Iran), Ethiopia and Libya with them, all of them with shield and helmet...After many days, you will be visited.  In the latter years, you will come into the land that has been brought back from the sword and has been gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which has always been waste, but is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely, all of them.  You will ascend and come like a storm; you will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands and many people with you...Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, 'Thus saith the Lord God, in that day when my people of Israel dwell safely, do you not know it?  And you will come from your place out of the north parts, you and many people with you; all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army; and you will come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it will be in the latter days and I will bring you against My land, that the heathen may know Me, when I will be sanctified in you, oh Gog, before their eyes.  Thus saith the Lord God, are you he of whom I have spoken in ancient times by My servants, the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days, many years, that I would bring you against them?  And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog will come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that My fury will come up in My face, for in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken, 'Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, the fowls of heaven, the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the earth and all the men that are upon the face of the earth will shake at My presence; and the mountains will be thrown down and the steep places will fall and every wall will fall to the ground.'  I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God; every man's sword will be against his brother.  I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood, and I will rain upon him and all his bands and upon many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone.  Thus will I magnify Myself and sanctify Myself and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they will know that I am the Lord    Ezekiel 38:1-5, 8-9, 14-23.

Are you on the right side of this battle?  Will you be God's friend or foe when the Lord returns?  You only need to read the last book of the Bible to understand that you don't want to be against God (Revelation 20).  Are you saved and ready to stand before God?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
