(September 24, 2007) Columbia University invited the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to speak at the college in a public forum. The controversy surrounding this invitation was the subject of many news and radio programs. Talk show host Michael Savage also discussed this event on his national radio program. Many commentators referred to Ahmadinejad as Hitler jr. and other such epithets. Mr. Savage took it a step further and called him the Antichrist. He also said that he thought that Ahmadinejad would be assassinated by his own people in Iran. Indeed Ahmadinejad has called for the destruction of the nation of Israel. He is an anti-semite of the first degree and as such does follow in the footsteps of Adolph Hitler in his desire to exterminate the Jews. However, his rhetoric leaves nothing to the imagination. Just as Hitler laid out his plans for the domination of Europe and its inhabitants so too Ahmadinejad has discussed openly his wish to see Israel and the Jews destroyed. This is where the Antichrist analogy breaks down. The Bible makes it clear that the Antichrist is going to deceive the world through a false message of peace. The prophet Daniel declared concerning the Antichrist, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:25) The apostle Paul stated that in the End-Times the world would be fooled by these peaceful overtures, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5:3) Unless Ahmadinejad changes the threatening tone of his message he would not fit the description of the Antichrist. As far as an assassination attempt, the Book of Revelation does indicate that the Antichrist (or beast as John refers to him) will suffer a fatal wound from which he will be resurrected, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:1-4) I don’t know who the Antichrist is but when he does arrive on the world stage, he will come across as a peaceful messianic figure but actually will be the most evil man ever to walk the earth. He will hunt down the followers of the God of the Bible and persecute them mercilessly. The world will follow after him and he will lead them down the path of destruction.
