<\/em>Those who have stated that the nuclear deal with Iran has changed Iran’s practices, may wish to understand what its Ayatollah Khamenei said today:<\/p>\n

July 18, 2015<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday that a historic nuclear deal reached with world powers earlier this week won\u2019t have any effect on Iran\u2019s policy toward the U.S.<\/p>\n

Khamenei said in a televised speech that U.S. policy in the Middle East runs counter to Tehran\u2019s strategy and that Iran will continue to support its allies in the Middle East including the Lebanese, Hezbollah, Palestinian resistance groups and the Syrian government.<\/p>\n

“Our policy towards the arrogant U.S. government won’t change at all,” he said. He was addressing a large crowd in Tehran, broadcast live on state TV, to mark the end of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Iran calls its Lebanese ally Hezbollah a “resistance movement” while the U.S. describes it a terrorist group. And Iran continues to call for the destruction of Israel; Khamenei in his Saturday speech described Israel as a “terrorist, baby-killer government.”<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly opposed the deal, saying it will enable Iran to emerge from crippling economic sanctions while doing nothing to moderate Iran’s aggressive behavior around the Middle East.<\/p>\n

“U.S. policies in the region are 180 degrees in contrast to Iran’s policies,” Khamenei said. “Whether this text (nuclear deal) is approved or disapproved, we won’t give up supporting our friends in the region. The oppressed Palestinian nation, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, the honest mujahedeen of resistance in Lebanon and Palestine will enjoy our constant support.”<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s direct talks with Washington was only limited to the nuclear issue and that there can\u2019t be any dialogue or deal with the U.S. over any other issues, he said. However, Khamenei has said in the past that he door to other issues could open should the U.S. carry out its obligations under the deal in good faith.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2015\/07\/18\/iran-supreme-leader-says-nuke-deal-wont-change-policy-on-us\/<\/a><\/p>\n

July 18, 2015<\/p>\n

DUBAI\/BEIRUT (Reuters) \u2013 Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei withheld his verdict on Iran\u2019s nuclear deal on Saturday but in a fiery address vowed enduring opposition to the United States and its Middle East policies, saying Washington sought Iran\u2019s \u2018surrender\u2019.\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

Khamenei repeatedly used the phrase \u201cwhether this text is approved or not\u201d, implying the accord has yet to win definitive backing from Iran\u2019s factionalised political establishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether the deal is approved or disapproved, we will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon. Even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant U.S. will not change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement reached on Tuesday, sanctions will be gradually removed in return for Iran accepting long-term curbs on a nuclear programme that the West has suspected was aimed at creating a nuclear bomb. Iran denies it seeks a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s combative remarks about U.S. policies in the Middle East may sit awkwardly with a diplomatic offensive Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif plans in coming days in the wake of the deal. …<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans say they stopped Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,\u201d Khamenei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know it\u2019s not true. We had a fatwa (religious ruling), declaring nuclear weapons to be religiously forbidden under Islamic law. It had nothing to do with the nuclear talks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later on Saturday, the Supreme Leader praised Iranian negotiators who thrashed out the accord in marathon negotiations in Vienna.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the nuclear talks, we saw the Americans\u2019 dishonesty over and over, but fortunately our officials fought back and in some cases showed revolutionary reactions,\u201d Khamenei said during meetings with senior Iranian officials and ambassadors from several Muslim states, according to his official website. …<\/p>\n

\u201cREAL TERRORISTS\u201d<\/p>\n

Khamenei maintained that the Islamic Republic\u2019s policies in the region would continue to defy the United States, and the nuclear deal was an exceptional instance of dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have repeatedly said we don\u2019t negotiate with the U.S. on regional or international affairs; not even on bilateral issues. There are some exceptions like the nuclear programme that we negotiated with the Americans to serve our interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said U.S. policies in the region were \u201c180 degrees\u201d opposed to Iran\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans dub the Lebanese resistance terrorists and regard Iran as a supporter of terrorism because of its support for the Lebanese Hezbollah, while the Americans themselves are the real terrorists who have created Islamic State and support the wicked Zionists,\u201d Khamenei said. \u00a0http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/newswires\/3040293-iran-leader-vows-opposition-to-us-despite-nuclear-deal\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Iran had hoped that West wanted a deal so badly that it would make a deal closer to what Iran wanted–and it has.\u00a0It is very likely that the Ayatollah will accept it.\u00a0 The deal agreed to this week will give Iran access to about 150 billion dollars of frozen assets that Iran can use again.\u00a0 Some of those assets will likely be used for its economy and to partially deal with the Islamic State, but other funds will likely go to terrorist groups and other groups that oppose the USA and\/or Israel.<\/p>\n

Notice that Iran’s Ayatollah claims that it is the USA that are the real terrorists and that the nation of Israel is called ‘wicked Zionists.’\u00a0 Iran has no intention of wanting to be the friend of the USA or anything but an enemy to Israel.<\/p>\n

Iran’s top leader clearly has a different public view of the deal than the USA’s top leader, Barack Obama (see also Barack Obama praises Iran deal, Saudis want to take action, and Israel condemns the deal with Iran<\/a>).\u00a0 As far as his no nuclear weapons fatwa goes, he can always change the fatwa.\u00a0 He made statements years ago supporting the idea that Iran could have nuclear weapons (see Khamenei Has Claimed Iranian Nuclear Weapons Need for the Arrival of the 12th Imam<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here is a report related to Barack Obama and the deal as he tries to gain more acceptance of it:<\/p>\n

July 18, 2015<\/p>\n

U.S. President Barack Obama says this past week’s deal to get Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons does “more than anyone has done before” to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

In his weekly Saturday address, Obama said Iran cannot cheat on the deal because the verification process it sets up is “comprehensive” and “intrusive.” …<\/p>\n

He said without the deal, the world risks having another war in the most volatile region in the world. http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/obama-iran-nuclear-deal-goes-further-than-any-before\/2867526.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would say that with the deal, the world risks having another war in the most volatile region in the world.<\/p>\n

The Obama Administration is trying to get the United Nations to approve the deal:<\/p>\n

Republican lawmakers are fuming that the Obama administration is asking the U.N. Security Council to endorse the newly struck Iran nuclear deal before Congress gets a chance to have its say.<\/p>\n

A vote on the agreement before the Security Council already has been set for Monday, with the resolution itself written and ready for consideration. Top-ranking lawmakers have fired off a series of letters to the president urging him to delay the vote, calling it an “affront” to the public and Congress to go to the U.N. first.<\/p>\n

“President Obama’s attempt to circumvent Congress and hastily move forward with a United Nations Security Council vote on the Iran nuclear agreement is outrageous,” Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Under legislation agreed to earlier this year, Congress has a 60-day window to review the deal, which curbs Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars’ worth of sanctions relief.<\/p>\n

The White House is lobbying Congress hard, and faces an uphill battle trying to convince members of both parties to support the agreement. http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2015\/07\/17\/republicans-fuming-over-un-voting-on-iran-deal-before-congress\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many in US Congress oppose the proposed deal.\u00a0 However, if they vote it down, they would apparently need a two-third’s majority to override a likely presidential veto.\u00a0 If the US Congress does get a 2\/3rds majority and goes against likely UN approval, this will make the USA look bad on the world scene.\u00a0 Of course, if not, then a deal that will not stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be able to go forward.<\/p>\n

So, what will happen with Iran?\u00a0 What does it really want?<\/p>\n

Iran wants to takeover Jerusalem and lead the Islamic world. It then wants to takeover the world.<\/p>\n

It hopes that the West will let it get far enough in its military plans to make that a possibility.<\/p>\n

The time may well come when Iran ‘overplays its hand.’ \u00a0We in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> do not believe that Iran will be the final King of the South<\/a> of Bible prophecy (cf. Daniel 11:4-43).\u00a0 Because of that, I have tended to believe that Iran may somehow get \u201cneutralized\u201d before this final king rises up.\u00a0 And it may<\/em> be that provoking some type of conflict with Israel (through an attack or through simply possessing nuclear bombs) and\/or the USA, etc.\u00a0 Since no later than May of 2010, I have been writing that since Iran cannot be the final King of the South<\/a> that it may be neutralized (see Iran Slams Russia<\/a>).\u00a0 If it overplays its hand, it may well be neutralized.<\/p>\n

Notice that it is biblically possible that God will allow Iran to strike the nation of Israel.<\/p>\n

1 The burden against the Valley of Vision.<\/p>\n

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, \u201cLook away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision \u2014 Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen<\/strong>, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots,And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.<\/p>\n

8 He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great<\/strong>; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.<\/p>\n

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning,For baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: \u201cLet us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!\u201d<\/p>\n

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,\u201dSurely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,\u201d says the Lord God of hosts. (Isaiah 22:1-14 NKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elam seems to be a reference to at least some in Iran. Isaiah 22 shows, presuming that it has a future application, that a time is coming when God will take away the protection of Judah and the City of David (Jerusalem, cf. 2 Kings 9:28).<\/p>\n

Although Iran wants to dominate the Islamic world, Bible prophecy shows that it will not. But, because leaders like its past and current presidents credit a non-existent Imam Mahdi for various events and its Supreme Leader has claimed to actually speak to him, the regime in Iran must be considered unstable and capable of taking steps that would seem illogical to outsiders.<\/p>\n

This makes Iran dangerous. Iran may well damage Israel (Isaiah 22:1-14) and even the USA. But that will not end well for Iran (cf. Jeremiah 49:34-38)<\/p>\n

But although it does provide support to various Islamic causes now, and probably will in the future, it will not be the power that the Bible teaches will be the coming King of the South.<\/a> And if it is discovered not properly handling its latest nuclear agreement, its neutralization could come soon from outside sources.<\/p>\n

If Iran hits Israel hard like Isaiah 22 indicates, this may result in Israel hitting Iran back hard enough militarily to greatly reduce Iran\u2019s influence–and perhaps trigger revolts or other actions there.<\/p>\n

Notice the following prophecy which indicates at least part of Iran’s destruction before the latter days:<\/p>\n

34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:<\/p>\n

‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
\nThe foremost of their might.
\n36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
\nFrom the four quarters of heaven,
\nAnd scatter them toward all those winds;
\nThere shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
\n37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
\nAnd before those who seek their life.
\nI will bring disaster upon them,
\nMy fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
\n‘And I will send the sword after them
\nUntil I have consumed them.
\n38 I will set My throne in Elam,
\nAnd will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.<\/p>\n

39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
\nI will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 49:34-39)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At this moment, the Obama Administration is trying to tell everyone what a great deal it made with Iran.\u00a0 It describes the deal quite differently than how the Iranians seem to view it.<\/p>\n

While a temporary peace will come to the Middle East (cf. Daniel 9:27, see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27<\/a>), this deal is not that one.\u00a0 However, let me add that the fact that it has a time element to it, in that sense will help set a precedent for a time period like the one for Daniel 9:27. Daniel 9:27 could be, for example, a ten-year deal, that is ‘confirmed’ after three years (or an eight year deal confirmed after one, etc.).<\/p>\n

Anyway, despite the proposed deal with Iran, expect more conflict in the Middle East for a time.<\/p>\n
