Rafsanjani's Rise to
Supreme Power & the Beginning of
the End
4th President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Who's who in Iran, Dec 20,
2009
Forbes magazine at one time listed Rafsanjani in their list of
richest people in the world and has written that as the real power
behind the Iranian government,
he
"has more or less run the Islamic
Republic for the past 24 years,"
Persia,
whose name was changed to “Iran” in 1935, was ruled by empires and
dynasties. However, political revolution began to mount in this region so
that by April 1, 1979, the Islamic Republic was established in Iran. A
Constitution of the Islamic Republic was approved by national referendum
in December 1979.
Iran
now had elected leadership,
a clear transition from the past.
This ushered in the conditions for the end-time predictions of
Daniel 11 to become reality. One
key religious leader in the development of the Islamic Republic became
the fourth and one of the most influential leaders in
Iran
—the wealthy Hojatolislam Ali Alvar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Prophecy warns, "In
the latter days...three more kings will appear in
Persia [Iran], and then a fourth
[Rafsanjani], who will be far richer
than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he
will stir up everyone against the kingdom of... [Hebrew: "Javan"--Western
powers]," Daniel
10:14; 11:2.
We
have
written about Rafsanjani's eventual rise to end-time prominence for
nearly 21
years. The
prophecies tell us
Rafsanjani will "stir up everyone" in the
Middle  East
against "Javan"--the West. Why? Rafsanjani will become the new voice for Iran
when the
current leader Khamenei is
eliminated or dies. War
will spread across the globe and
World War III will quickly follow,
initiating the beginning of the end crisis according to Daniel's prophecies
(Daniel
8:1-7;11:2-3).
Soon thereafter comes the destruction of the Dome of the Rock when the Temple
Mount falls in ruin, likely due to a massive devastating earthquake or
war disasters in
Jerusalem at Purim 2012. Either way, Jews will be blamed for tunneling under the
Temple Mount, causing support structures to be weakened.
Mass anger will cause events to spiral out of control.
Rafsanjani
Quotes
"For
30 years you have been calling for talks with us and we refused.
Now, you lay tough conditions to make us talk with you? Have you
forgotten the time when the US hostages were in Iran and your
envoys came (here) for talks to secure their (the hostages')
release?" Rafsanjani, December 9, 2008
"The
United States is making a concerted effort to hurt Iran and is
therefore the primary enemy of the Islamic Republic," Rafsanjani,
December 2, 2008
"If
one day, the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like
those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists' strategy
will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear
bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will
only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate
such an eventuality," Rafsanjani, December 14, 2001

whose condemnation of opposition leaders was seen as too little, too
late."
