In an act of solidarity with Israel, Christian and Jewish leaders are expressing their deep concern for Israel, the US, and countries that boarder Iran in the event that Iran should acquire nuclear weapons. According to The Christian Post, “Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, joined Paul de Vries, president of the New York Divinity School and leader of the New York Evangelicals, and Joseph Potasnik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis, in issuing a statement urging all governments to apply sanctions as a tool for effective diplomacy and to encourage human rights efforts in Iranian citizens.” The leaders went on to state that for Iran to have nuclear weapons would be a “grave threat,” in the region that could spark a “nuclear arms race that would cause instability in the region; strengthening the rule of the militant Shia regime against Iran’s new reform leaders and youth attracted to human rights; and likely total confrontation with Israel and the world to hasten the return of the 12th imam.”
The primary reason why the Shiite Muslims would want such a confrontation to happen is because they believe that it would hasten the coming of their Imam Mahdi, who apparently comes to the Earth as a physical being, and has a supernatural ability to enforce Islam as a one world system. It is thought that Iranian President Ahmadinejad also embraces this belief, and that it is one of the root reasons why he has said that he wants to wipe out Israel and the US – in his mind, they are the root of Judaism and Christianity.
A resistance group in Iran called The National Council of Resistance of Iran is also urging the nations to take stronger action to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Chairman Mehdi Abrishamchi has said that the international community’s attempts to pacify Ahmadinejad are only serving to further his regime’s nuclear ambitions.
