Speaking of the Shah of Iran’s son ... :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Iran crown prince predicts regime will collapse within months. January 15, 2020, 4:08 PM EST Washington (AFP) - The heir of Iran's deposed monarchy predicted Wednesday that the clerical regime will collapse within months and urged Western powers not to negotiate with it. Reza Pahlavi said that major protests which erupted in November and again this month, after the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger jet, reminded him of the uprising that ousted his father in early 1979. "It's just a matter of time for it to reach its final climax. I think we're in that mode," the former crown prince told a news conference in Washington, which he lives near in exile. "This is weeks or months preceding the ultimate collapse, not dissimilar to the last three months in 1978 before the revolution," he said. While exiled activists have routinely predicted the fall of the regime, Pahlavi said that Iranians could "smell the opportunity for the first time in 40 years this time." The 59-year-old heir to the Peacock Throne, who has not been to Iran since he was a teenager, cited as evidence what he called an easing of fear among protesters and the growing distancing of self-described reformists from the Islamic regime. In an address to the Hudson Institute, Pahlavi largely supported President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign that has sought to isolate the Iranian regime through severe sanctions, saying that past negotiations have failed. "It has long been time to recognize that this is not a normal regime and that it will not change its behavior," Pahlavi said. "My compatriots understand that this regime cannot be reformed and must be removed." Iranians "expect the world to show more than just moral support. They expect not to be thrown under the bus in the name of diplomacy and negotiation." Trump previously held out hope of negotiations but has recently said he was unconcerned with talks and ordered the killing of a top Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani. Pahlavi, whose Western-oriented father was closely allied with the United States, has played down prospects for restoration of the monarchy. He says instead that he wants to support a broad coalition of Iranians who will replace the regime with a secular democracy. Asked whether he can represent all Iranians, Pahlavi said: "It's not about me, it's about the people of Iran." "You may not like the messenger, but is there something wrong with the message?" - Fair Use - This Reza Pahlavi could be one of the ten kings Anti Christ appoints when he combines the two legs after Gog/Magog. He is pro western. After Gog Magog, Iran is decimated by God. There is a political vacuum in the region. Anti Christ shall revive the Roman empire by creating a new alliance. This new alliance consists of the western leg and eastern leg. Don't sell short Reza Pahlavi yet as he could be the western puppet put in the office after Gog Magog. Going back to what Humbly Irrelevant posted, I have to disagree with him. Jesus is the head, and the church is his body. The body makes up many different parts. Some are good doing missionary, while some are good and gifted in revealing God's plan. Why should we stop these people when they have a better discernment regarding bible prophecy? I am always interested in listening to different perspective concerning the date of rapture and second coming. Does it bother me if they fail? Not at all. What we have to do is to judge them with the power of scripture. If they deviate too much from scripture, then we put a stop there. Examples are Revelation 12 sign in 2017, the astrological alignment of woman bearing a child. That is totally absurd and has no biblical basis. This is what we should have rebuked and I did. But for people who follow scripture only and did their reasoning based on scripture, we should give these people a chance. I agree 2nd Coming. Evidence based on scripture should be considered. I’ve read many intelligently thought out studies, including yours, but what I do not do anymore is hang my hat on any of them due to the let down I’ve experienced in the past. I cannot think of any topic that captures my attention like the Rapture of the church, most especially in the days we live in now. In times past any single big event had me sure it must be upon us. Today, with multiple events happening nearly on a daily basis we know it’s got to be very soon, and I expect that it is, but I don’t stay up all night on any given watch date. The let down is too depressing and depression is not from God. We might all be sitting around the Banquet Table discussing all of this tonight, and I truly hope we will be, but if not then tomorrow I’ll carry on with life and not suffer the blow that another night passed and we’re still here. Geri, I agree. This development could bring about “peace and safety” and why wouldn’t it? Israel has good relations with other Arab states and if Iran returns to its pre 1979 status then that would remove her biggest enemy from the scene. Whaat?!! No way ... you actually agree “that the development of the reinstatement of the Crown Prince of Iran could bring about the “peace and safety” announcement? :yahoo: Seriously ... I do think this has more potential of the scenario unfolding this way vs. the unveiling of Trump’s peace deal because .... I was reading they might NOT roll it out before the March 2nd elections. I’m just sooo tired of them dangling the carrot in front of the horse and then quickly snatching it away again. :negative:
