Persia in Prophecy / Jerusalem World News
Almost daily, the leader of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fires verbal darts at both Israel and the United States. With his calls to “wipe Israel from the map,” his continued denial of the Holocaust, his aim to arm Iran with nuclear weapons, and his disdain for the world in general, and the U.S. in particular combine to make Ahmadinajad one of the most dangerous leaders today.
Even more dangerous than the rhetoric of Iran’s president is his belief that the second coming of the Mahdi will be prompted by an apocalyptic event. It will usher in the Mahdi and a worldwide Islamic caliphate in which Christians and Jews alike would be forced to bow to Islam or die.
This Apocalypse of death and destruction in the Islamic prophecies precedes the Mahdi’s return. Ahmadinejad or anyone else seeking to fulfill the Islamic prophecies could decide that a nuclear attack on Israel is predestined. The resulting chaos might result in a nuclear retaliation by Israel, or by Israel’s allies including the United States.

Obama threatens our future - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
"While tens of thousands of Turkish protestors chant anti-Semitic Nazi-style battle cries, on top of Prime Minister Erdogan’s wild incitement (which even outdid Ahmadinejad’s rhetoric,) and while all Muslim world radicals join forces in a venomous, unprecedented anti-Israel campaign, the deafening silence of the Obama-led United States is especially conspicuous."
Obama Announces U.S. to Give Palestinians $400 Million
"When P.A. (Palestinian Authority) leader Mahmoud Abbas met with President Obama in the White House Wednesday he received a commitment that the U.S. will be sending the P.A. $400 million to build schools, roads, and homes in Gaza, as well as the West Bank. When asked how the U.S. will assure that the money will be used for the proposed purposes, Obama said, ...."

DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A 100% CHANCE OF AN EARTHQUAKE TODAY!
YES! There's a 100 percent chance of an earthquake today! Though millions of persons may never experience an earthquake, they are very common occurrences on this planet. So today -- somewhere -- an earthquake will occur.
It may be so light that only sensitive instruments will perceive its motion; it may shake houses, rattle windows, and displace small objects; or it may be sufficiently strong to cause property damage, death, and injury.
It is estimated that about 700 shocks each year have this capability when centered in a populated area. But fortunately, most of these potentially destructive earthquakes center in unpopulated areas far from civilization.
Since a major portion of the world's earthquakes each year center around the rim of the Pacific Ocean (Ring of Fire), referred to by seismologists as the circum-Pacific belt, this is the most probable location for today's earthquake. But it could hit any location, because no region is entirely free of earthquakes.
Stating that an earthquake is going to occur today is not really "predicting earthquakes". To date, they cannot be predicted. But anyone, on any day, could make this statement and it would be true. This is because several million earthquakes occur annually; thereby, thousands occur each day, although most are too small to be located. The problem, however, is in pinpointing the area where a strong shock will center and when it will occur.
Earthquake prediction is a future possibility, though. Just as the Weather Bureau now predicts hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe storms, the NEIC may one day issue forecasts on earthquakes. Earthquake research was stepped up after the Alaska shock in 1964. Today, research is being conducted by the USGS and other federal and state agencies, as well as universities and private institutions. Earthquake prediction may some day become a reality, but only after much more is learned about the earthquake mechanism
