Iran's President Playing With Fire
The new president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been making various pronouncements about Israel since he came into office. Israelis should all go back to Europe. Israel should be wiped off the map. The holocaust never happened. These statements coming from a head of state are troubling enough. But adding Iran's nuclear ambitions, pronouncements and threats makes for a Middle East situation that is increasingly explosive.
Iran's new intent to fund Hamas, the democratically elected and recently installed revolutionary government of the Palestinians complicates the situation even more.
But why is Iran's president playing with fire? Because there is another factor involved in the Jewish future. That is the Bible. There is a troubling Scripture with which to contend if one is filled with hatred toward the Jews.
It is this one: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse." This is called the Abrahamic Covenant, pretty well illustrated by history. Hitler set himself on a self-destructive course against the Jewish people even as Haman of old did in the book of Esther. The results have been self-evident.
Cursing the Jews or even the Arabs as children of Abraham is not the smartest thing in all the
world to do. Especially since both descend from Abraham.

Read a very ineresting article in the Western Standard. It told of tapes and documents being translated by the CIA that show that Sadam Hussein was very much in touch with Osama ben Laden and how they spirited the weapons of mass destruction out of the country by 747 jets to Syria under the guise of humaitarion aid when they realized that the US was going to attack.
