Iran in End Times Prophecy

The nation of Iran was called Persia, its Biblical name, until 1935. Persia was one of the former great empires of the world, ruling from 539 B.C. to 331 B.C, until they were conquered by Alexander the Great. Kings such as Cyrus the Great, Darius, Ahasuerus (commonly known as Xerxes), and Artaxerxes ruled this once great empire. Persia was also the setting for the book in the Bible entitled Esther. Ironically, the book of Esther tells how a Jewish girl became the queen of Persia and how God used her to save her people from a plot to destroy them. The book also explains how a special festival, called Purim, was established to remember and celebrate the deliverance that the Jews had experienced. Purim is derived from the Persian word pur, meaning 'lot'. It recalls how Haman, the enemy of the Jews, cast lots to determine the best day to carry out his plan to exterminate them.

It would appear not much has changed in 2,500 years. A 'spirit of Haman' still influences the leaders of Iran in the present day. I quote now from The New York Times (October 27, 2005). "Iran's conservative new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said Wednesday that Israel must be 'wiped off the map'...Referring to comments by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution, Ahmadinejad said, 'As the imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map". Don't think it is just Iran's President who believes this. He is only a puppet of the Ayatollahs who actually run the government. Amazingly, Psalm 83:2, 4, is prophetic for our day. It says, "For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you (God) have raised their heads. They say, 'Come, LET US WIPE THEM OUT AS A NATION; let the name of Israel be remembered no more". Iran's leaders, in their hatred of Israel, have become a self-fulfilling prophecy by quoting Psalm 83:4. One day soon, according to the prophet Ezekiel, Iran will experience a 7-fold judgment from God. Its end has been decreed.

Unknown to many, Iran is an important player in the Bible's prophecies of the end of days. It was 2,600 years ago, prior to Persia even becoming a world empire, that the prophet Ezekiel was given a vision of the future that most every Biblical scholar agrees is speaking of the time period in which we are currently living. Specifically, in Ezekiel 38, there is a list of nations that will come together at the end of days for the express purpose of destroying the nation of Israel. This battle has been traditionally called the 'Gog and Magog' war. Among those nations listed is Turkey, who is identified by multiple ancient place names/locations that existed within that country's current borders (i.e., Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah). Also, Libya is identified. Some Bible translations use the word 'Put', which is simply the Hebrew place name for the area currently occupied by present-day Libya. Finally, Iran has been singled out by its ancient name Persia (Ezekiel 38:5).

This coalition of nations, and the Bible implies many more nations with them, will make an all-out assault on Israel at the end of days with the intention of destroying her. God told Ezekiel that this event would occur in the "latter years" (Ezekiel 38:8). At the last moment it will look like Israel will be wiped out, but God will intervene and Iran and the other nations will suffer a 7-fold judgement from God - a great earthquake, pestilence, bloodshed, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone (Ezekiel 38:19-22). To be sure, God will not need Israeli airplanes and troops to get this accomplished. In fact, the context of the Scripture implies that this event occurs when Israel is isolated by the nations, as is happening now, and is vulnerable to attack precisely because they are unable to rely on friends and allies. This is also occurring with each passing day.

When God makes Iran and the other nations an example of His divine judgement, He also reveals His divine purpose. Seven times, God's perfect number, He makes similar statements as the one found in Ezekiel 39:7, "my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel...and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel." There you have the reason for God's intervention. God's coming judgement on Iran and the other nations with them will be to reveal Himself, to magnify Himself, to reveal His holiness, to glorify Himself, and to make Himself known in the eyes of many nations - all these phrases found in the Book of Ezekiel. God intervenes on behalf of Israel in order to reveal to the nations that He is God alone, that the prophecies of old that spoke of Him are true, and that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah who came to bring salvation to all of mankind.

Additionally, revival will come to Israel. At the end of Ezekiel 39 it says that God will pour out His Spirit upon the house of Israel. God says, "then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land (prophecy fulfilled May 1948), and left none of them captive any longer. And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord God" (Ezekiel 39:28-29). According to the Apostle Peter in the New Testament, only Jesus Christ has been given this authority to pour out the Holy Spirit. In Acts 2:33, Peter said, in referring to Jesus upon His resurrection, "...being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear". On that day, Jesus Christ will gloriously reveal Himself to Israel and an unbelieving world as the one true Savior, Lord, Messiah, and God!

As it regards the nation of Iran and the other participating nations, they may want to consider the Bible's graphic description of the aftermath of this judgement captured in Ezekiel 39. It says, "For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land" (v. 12). Then the Lord, speaking through the Prophet Ezekiel says, "Speak to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, 'Assemble and come, gather from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth..." (Ezekiel 39:17-18). God says that one day He is going to make a feast out of these fallen armies for all kinds of scavengers. Iran's destiny and end has been decreed. The Persian people need Jesus Christ. They need their eyes to be opened, the same way that King Ahasuerus' eyes were opened because of a young Jewish girl named Esther.

BIBLE PROPHECY : DAMASCUS (Syria) WILL BE DESTROYED BEFORE THE END OF TIMES !!!!

BIBLE PROPHECY : DAMASCUS WILL BE DESTROYED BEFORE THE END OF TIMES !

BIBLE PROPHECY : DAMASCUS WILL BE DESTROYED BEFORE THE END OF TIMES !

Syria is almost a ‘city-state’ with much of its population living in and around the city of Damascus.  Some historians and archaeologists believe Damascus may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the world and there is no record in ancient history of it ever being fully destroyed.  Syria is also the home of many Islamic terrorist groups and its army invaded and has occupied Lebanon for almost 30 years.  Currently, Syria (with Iran) is supporting the Hezbollah in southern Lebanon against Israel.  Syria, like the rest of Israel’s Islamic neighbors hate Israel, have invaded and attacked Israel on several occasions, and have publicly called for the destruction of Israel.  It is interesting to note that recently an Israeli general, on commenting on the growing threat of Syria, said the easiest thing to do to protect Israel from Syria would be to drop a nuclear bomb on Damascus.

Damascus, Syria will someday be completely destroyed and become a ‘ruinous heap’ : “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap” (Isaiah 17:1) This prophecy is happening at this very moment !!! The Bible warns it will also be a time of trouble for Israel : “And in that day (usually refers to the coming ‘Apocalypse’) it shall come to pass,  (when God says ‘it shall come to pass’ it always happens.) The glory of Jacob (Israel) shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.” (Isaiah 17:4) Serious problems for Israel after the Destruction of Damascus !!!

We are told here (and in other prophetic passages) that a faithful few in Israel will turn back to God and His Word and may discover, from Scripture, that Jesus-Yeshua, is the Eternal One (see Micah 5:2) and Holy One of Israel : “At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One (Messiah) of Israel.” (Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah) (Isaiah 17:7) There will be a coming time of trouble unlike anything in the history of the nation coming to the land of Israel … Jeremiah calls it ‘the Time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) Trouble … and it is hard to tell if this happens after Damascus is destroyed, or at the same time.  We do know from Bible prophecies there will be a coming 3 1/2 year period of false peace in Israel brought in by a strong, powerful, and very popular world leader (also called the “Antichrist”) who will someday enforce a ‘peace plan’ upon nation Israel just before the coming ‘Apocalypse’ and Armageddon …

God tells us why Jacob’s (Israel’s) ‘trouble’ will come : “Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy Salvation, and hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy strength (the “Rock” is Messiah) (Isaiah 17:10) God says none of His prophecies shall fail : “For I am God, and there is no other for I am God, and there is none like me . Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done.” (Isaiah 46:9-10) “Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these (prophecies) shall fail, not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.” (Isaiah 34:16)

“Indeed I (God) have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it. Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness.” (Isaiah 46:11-12) “Before the decree is issued, before day passes like chaff, before the LORD’S fierce anger comes upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger comes upon you! Seek the LORD, all you meek of the Earth, who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD. (Zephaniah 2:2-3)

Several Prophecies ForeTold the Destruction of Damascus before the start of World War III

Edgar Cayce foresaw the third world war even before the end of the second world war.  He spoke of strife arising near the Davis Straits, Tunis, Libya, Egypt, and Damascus. The funny thing is that he named Damascus last ! When you look at the Arab Spring : It started in Tunis, Egypt, Libya and at this very moment we are at the time of the LAST prophecy : DAMASCUS ! When you look at the Nostradamus Prophecies and the prophecies of Baba Vanga : World War III would start in November 2010, when you look back in time : the end of 2010 was the time the Arab Spring was planned and started !!!

Also the prophecy about the assassination of “4 Heads of State” could be correct :

• President of Tunis Zine El Abidine Ben Ali (first head of state)
• The Libyan leader Moammar al Qadhafi was killed (second head of state)
• Hosni Mubarak of Egypt (Third head of state)
• The last one, the fourth head of state is Bashar al-Assad the leader of Syria !

After the fourth head of state Bashar al-Assad is removed, World War III will start and we al know that Iran or Syria cannot start WW-III, if there is a third world war, the only nations that can start or have to fight for getting a third world war are : US/NATO against Russia and China. All the other nations will pick a side, here is a possible scenario :

EAST : Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, N.Korea, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, …

WEST : US, Europe, India, Japan, S.Korea, Australia, Israel, …

Given the wars in the last years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Tunis, Libya, Egypt, Syria and the tensions in the Middle East with Iran right now, a third world war could certainly be a certainty. Edgar Cayce spoke specifically about a “wild dictator” that would lead to the fall of the Mideast (This could be Bashar al-Assadbut it could also be the Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) and a global war that would “decimate humankind.”  He predicted that it would all happen after the Damascus prophecy.

When asked in June 1943 whether it would be feasible to work  towards an equitable international world currency or a stabilization of international exchange levels when the war WW III had ended, Cayce replied that it would be a long, long time before this would happen – it would be centuries before humans enjoy the freedoms and liberties that mankind experience in the 1930s and 1940s.

COMMENTARY: The Bible is clear on the future of 'Palestine'

Commentary

Many world leaders have plans for the formation of a Palestinian state in the Holy Land. Unbeknownst to most, the future state of Palestine and its terror-controlled neighborhoods has already been declared in Scripture.

In a major step towards statehood, Palestinian leaders, with help from the United Nations, have designs to divvy up Israel’s sovereign land. Their plan is to introduce a resolution at the UN on November 29 recognizing the Palestinian-controlled areas of Israel as an “observer state”, with the ultimate goal of seizing Israel’s sovereign land as their own state and making Jerusalem the capital of a newly-formed Palestine.

However, the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, from whom Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi takes his orders, declared that a Palestinian state will not happen by U.N. efforts. Claiming that Jihad (war) on Jerusalem is the only way to seize control, Sheikh Mohammed Badie declared, "Jerusalem is Islamic ... and nobody is entitled to make concessions" on the Holy City.

President Obama does not make it clear whether he intends to back U.N. efforts to give Israel’s sovereign land to the Palestinians, or to privately support the Muslims as they wage Jihad on Israel’s soil. A quick check of President Obama’s foreign policies at WhiteHouse.gov reveals that he does intend to help create a “State of Palestine”: “two states for two peoples – Israel as a Jewish state and the homeland for the Jewish people and the State of Palestine as the homeland for the Palestinian people.”

Currently obscured by man’s plans to create a “State of Palestine” on the land of Israel, stands the word of the Lord regarding His plans for Palestine.

The Bible declares, “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands …if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’…then they will be established among my people. But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it, declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 12:14-17)

So, we see that the Lord has plans to uproot and destroy any nation that seizes the land He gave to the Jews as an inheritance. The question now remains, when?

The words of Yeshua ha’Mashiach (Jesus) provide a major clue to the end of Palestine. Yeshua told Judah (the Jews) that He had other sheep not of their fold. He told the Jews He came for the lost sheep of the House of Israel, also called Ephraim or Joseph. (John 10:16)

Yeshua further identify the lost sheep of the House of Israel in John 10:27, where He stated, “my sheep hear my voice.” In essence, Yeshua claims that His followers are the House of Israel, otherwise known as Ephraim or Joseph.

Isaiah 11:13-14: “Ephraim (House of Israel/fullness of gentile nations who follow Jesus) will not be jealous of Judah (the Jews), nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia (modern day Gaza) to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will subdue Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites (modern day Jordan) will be subject to them.”

Therefore, when followers of Yeshua and the Jews unite as one nation, then you will see the end of the Palestinian threat in Israel, and Jordan will be in submission.

Of course, the Lord of the Bible not only has plans to deal with Gaza and the Palestinian attackers of Israel, according to Zechariah 12:9, He will deal harshly and severely with all nations who attack Jerusalem, “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”

Vatican under fire from Israel over deal with Palestine

Agreement is the first between both parties since Palestine was recognized by the Vatican two years ago.

The Palestinian Authority considers the Vatican one of 136 states to have recognised Palestine's sovereign status [AP]

The Vatican has come under fire from Israel after signing a historic first accord with Palestine that called for "courageous decisions" to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The historic accord signed on Friday covers the activities of the Church in the parts of the Holy Land under Palestinian control, is the first agreement since the Vatican recognised Palestine as a state in February 2013 and drew immediate response from Israel.

"This hasty step damages the prospects for advancing a peace agreement, and harms the international effort to convince the Palestinian Authority to return to direct negotiations with Israel," Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said.

The product of 15 years of discussions, the agreement between Palestine and the Vatican was finalised in principle last month despite Israel's opposition to both the symbolism of Palestine signing international accords and the specific content of the agreement.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Al-Malki said at Friday's signing ceremony that it would "not have been possible without the blessing of his Holiness Pope Francis for our efforts to reach it".

The minister said the "historic" accord enshrined Palestine's special status as the birthplace of Christianity and the cradle of the monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism).

Paul Gallagher, the British archbishop who is the Vatican's de facto foreign minister, signed the accord on behalf of the Holy See in the presence of guests including Vera Baboun, the mayor of Bethlehem, the Palestinian town considered to be the birthplace of Jesus.
Ending the conflict

Gallagher said the accord's provisions to ensure the rights of Christians should serve as a model for other Arab and Muslim states in their relations with Christian minorities facing increasing persecution in the Middle East.

He said it was "indicative of the progress made by the Palestinian Authority in recent years, and above all of the level of international support (for recognition)".

"In this context, it is my hope that the present agreement may in some way be a stimulus to bringing a definitive end to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which continues to cause suffering for both Parties.

"I also hope that the much desired two-State solution may become a reality as soon as possible. The peace process can move forward only if it is directly negotiated between the parties, with the support of the international community," Gallagher said.

"This certainly requires courageous decisions, but it will also offer a major contribution to peace and stability in the region."

The Vatican's recognition of the state of Palestine followed a November 2012 vote in favour of recognition by the UN General Assembly [EPA]

The Palestinian Authority considers the Vatican one of 136 states to have recognised Palestine's sovereign status.

The Vatican has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1993 but has yet to conclude an accord on the Church's rights in the Jewish state which has been under discussion since 1999, with issues related to the status of Jerusalem proving hard to overcome.

Nahshon said the Vatican-Palestinian accord contained "one sided texts" which "ignore the historic rights of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel and to the places holy to Judaism in Jerusalem".

He added: "Israel will study the agreement in detail, and its implications for future cooperation between Israel and the Vatican."

Russia, Islam and the New World Order

Column: Politics

Region: Russia in the World

In his speech at a meeting of the Valdai Club on October 24 Russia’s President Vladimir Putin made a number of frank, sharp remarks regarding US policies. In fact, the Russian leader made it clear that the United States and the West were presented with two options: they can work together with Russia and other emerging economies in a unified effort to create a more just world, or Russia will be eager to act according in response to the current US modus operandi. Since Washington has a habit of infringing upon rules and ignoring the norms of international law, Moscow can play in tune to stay on par with its chief contender. There’s little doubt that such steps may weaken global security and contribute to an increase of instability in the world, especially in the Middle East. In Sochi, Vladimir Putin has virtually announced a new foreign policy aimed at countering US attempts to dominate the world. Speaking to a diverse audience of foreign journalists and political scientists, he said that the United States had repeatedly violated the rules by unleashing military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and by fueling countless color revolutions.

As an alternative, Russian President has put forward the plan of a new world order based on new alliances and unions. “The logical way – is the cooperation of countries and societies in search for collective answers to the ever increasing challenges, a joint risk management” – he said. The world needs a “legal, political, economic basis of the new world order that would ensure security and stability, while promoting healthy competition.”

Some Western political analysts believe that by making these statements Putin put out a trial balloon to check if there’s still a general willingness among Western governments to engage in dialogue. Moscow is prepared for the most serious substantive discussion on the issues of nuclear disarmament and the rules that will determine when a conflict can be resolved by military intervention. This might as well be Putin’s last warning, since the threat of global chaos has surpassed the threat of major confrontations. It’s was no coincidence that Russia’s President hinted at the risk of new conflicts involving major powers, especially “at the junctions of geopolitical interests”.

Putin’s position is as simple as it is justified: since the United States is responsible for the spread of chaos around the globe, Russia has the moral right to take the certain steps. If there are no rules for the US, there can be none for Russia. It’s clear that Moscow is not looking for confrontation, and politics can still come into play, especially due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. “America needs Russian help in its fight against ISIL — Putin said – and the cooperation in this field can be the first step to certain changes. “

Yet, it seems that at this stage reconciliation is hardly possible, since Washington has clearly crossed the red line and it shows no signs of regret over this fact.

Historically speaking, a hundred years ago a war between European empires and monarchies erupted out of nowhere, it was later called the First World War. It was quickly followed by another major conflict - unleashed by Hitler in his strides toward world domination. The clash of empires was quickly transformed into a war of nations. Once the Second World War ended, the conflict of ideologies – or the Cold War was to start, when Communist regimes fought with liberal capitalist “democracies“. In geographical terms, this war was waged by entire continents, but soon it all ended with the break-up of the Soviet bloc at the end of the century. The new century began with a new historical event on September 11, 2001. Terrorist attacks on the United States have become a point of no return, a reason for the so-called “war on terror”.

If you look at history, you will notice that all major conflicts were provoked by smaller ones. The so-called “war on terrorism” did not surface out of nowhere with the onset of the new century, in fact, it has longstanding historical roots.

One can say that it all started with the Muslim Brotherhood movement created by an Egyptian imam Hassan al-Banna to oppose colonialism and domination of the West a hundred years ago. After the collapse of the Soviet bloc, with Marxism ideology seeing a sharp decline, Islamism has become the dominant liberation base against Western hegemony in the Islamic world, especially the Middle East. This struggle stretches across the entire Middle East, from Afghanistan and Pakistan in the east to the Arab Maghreb in the west, including Iran, Turkey and the whole Arab world. Judging by its scale one may say that it will last for a decade or two.

Once terrorism was suppressed in America, Europe and Russia, terrorists rushed to the Middle East, thereby expanding the spread of this plague. But beneath the veil of this major conflict, there’s a number of smaller clashes, which are no less important. Among these one may name the “inter-Islamic conflict” which is raging in the region due to the cultural diversity of the Muslim states. Unjustified aggression against Iran launched by Saudi Arabia and its partners in the GCC can serve as a perfect example of an inter-Islamic conflict. Some states are torn apart by internal conflicts, the most vivid example is Iraq. The underlying cause for these clashes are the historical differences between the Iranian, Turkish, European, Caucasian, Central Asian and Arab forms of Islam.

Today Iran represents a new model of social development, it shows no signs of external aggression while preserving its traditions and cultural originality. Turkish Islam – is a moderate wing of Islam, which exists within the framework of a secular state. A new kind of adherents of Islam, or rather Islamism – Salafists are openly supporting terrorism. As for Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the conservative monarchies of Arabia, they profess the aggressive exterior and interior Islam, while most Arab states profess traditional Islam, which gradually transforms into its secular version. Volga and the North Caucasus Islam were integrated into the secular structure of the Russian state, with its predominant Christian identity, but some small groups that adhere to Wahhabism and Salafism are prone to religious extremism and terrorism. This situation is similar to Central Asia Islam.

A number of certain similarities in views can be observed in terrorist radical political parties and religious terrorist groups. Thus, the Muslim Brotherhood movement keeps on supporting several terrorist groups, and therefore is considered a terrorist organization in some Arab countries and in Russia. Even the West de facto rejected the idea of persuading the Muslim Brotherhood to renounce terrorism. And this struggle within the Islamic camp has been going on for decades.There’s also the struggle of the West against Islam and those Islamic countries which follow their own unique route of development, such as Iran.

The struggle within Islam is now impossible to stop, it will have to be accepted and dealt with one way or another. Individuals, groups and nations in the East can identify themselves as citizens of a modern nation-state no more, instead they reached out to the old traditional definitions. They call themselves Muslims, and then there is a fractional division into Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites, Zaidi. And this despite the fact that at the national level, those same people are divided into Arabs, Persians, Kurds, Turks, Pashtuns, Tatars, Uzbeks, Chechens, etc.

Terrorism, of course, is not an inherent property of Islam. Most nations have managed to break away from the past, they created a new system of coexistence, while preserving religion by forcing it to keep up with the changing times. This problem, however, hasn’t been solved in the majority of Muslim states, but it’s up to the people to decide, not religious officials. Today political Islam supports a large population that perceives it as the only weapon to resist the onslaught of Western aggression.

It turns out that Marx’s theory is still accurate, since the West is trying persistently to maintain its position as global ruler, while Russia, China, India, Iran, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and other emerging economies are seeking justice, not only in distribution of wealth, but also in taking part in international decision making.

The current war for influence in the hydrocarbon-rich Middle East, along with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, was pushed to the surface by the current global system. And Russia has found itself on the same side with China, India, Iran and most Arab countries, due to the US’ poor political decisions, since politicians chose to expel it from the camp formed around Western Christian values. And it’s all for the best, since the West is doomed to play a secondary role, as the powerful and rapidly developing economies of Asia, Latin America and Africa will occupy a dominant position in the political and economic fields pretty soon.

That is why Vladimir Putin stated in Sochi that the world needs “the legal, political, and economic basis for a new world order that would allow for stability and security, while encouraging healthy competition.” Hence – there’s a need to build new alliances and unions for collective protection against aggressive moves by the US and its allies. And since the main struggle is now unfolding in the Middle East, Moscow must first look at those states that share common interests with Russia. That is – Belarus, Armenia, Iran, Central Asian countries, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, to some extent Afghanistan and Pakistan, and perhaps even Turkey, which was not accepted into the EU, but is still being ordered around by NATO. The core of this security-oriented organization could be formed by a strategic axis of Russia, China, India, and Iran as the most influential countries of Eurasia. Besides, Russia together with Iran and Iraq have the oil and gas potential that exceeds the capabilities of the Arab Gulf monarchies. Over time, the economic component of this axis can be connected to a hydrocarbon-rich Venezuela, and then the new alliance could come on par with the southern soft underbelly of the United States. Agreements with other emerging economies would allow the new axis to replace the UN, since the UN and its Security Council, has been transformed by the White House into an obedient servant, that can provide a flare of legitimacy to US actions. The new partnership can rally all countries that are not NATO members and such US allies as Japan, Australia New Zealand and the US vassals in the Arabian Peninsula.

US and NATO countries do not need a new world. They are already falling apart, rotten from the inside, while the moral decay and intellectual degradation are still at their height. After all, they have violated all Christian morality norms and lost their spiritual orientation that keeps on inspiring the world of Islam and Orthodoxy, led by Russia. Gay community, gay marriage, same-sex parents, depersonalization in children, pedophilia, Nazism – that’s the present and future of the West. No wonder that immigrant communities from Asia and Africa despite their energy and determination are starting to rot from the inside in Western states .

In this situation, the advantage in the balance of political, economic and military force would be on the side of the new alliance, and the West would have to play by the rules that had been set by the majority rather than so-called Western democratic leaders, willing to impose their will on the majority.

So this would be a real “end of history”, but not the one predicted by Francis Fukuyama, but as a natural step in the development of human civilization, the true liberation from the unbridled power of Anglo-Saxons.
