Forced into a war that it did everything to avoid, Iran is now insisting that it will not return to a corrupt status quo ante. The Americans who have been forced to pay for one more war whose sole beneficiary is Israel, thanks to AIPAC and Jewish backers like the late Mr. Radvinsky, who channeled $11 million in ill-gotten gains from his porn site Only Fans into AIPAC coffers should not be forced this status quo ante either. The system of Jewish control of our Congress and culture needs to be broken up, and at this moment in time, the Iranians are the only geopolitical players who have the will and the wherewithal to accomplish this goal.
This is not the first time Iranians or Persians, as they were known then, played a crucial role in salvation history. When Belshazzar, son of Nebuchadnezzar, the man Jeremiah referred to as “the servant of God” because of the role he played in chastising an incorrigible Israel, profaned the Temple vessels to impress his retinue during their drunken revelry, a hand appeared out of nowhere and wrote on the wall of his banquet hall, “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin,” an Aramaic phrase, which means, “You have been weighed and found wanting, and your kingdom will be divided and given to the Persians.” Daniel told Belshazzar and his father that “The Most High rules over the kingship of men (Daniel 4:14),” but Belshazzar had to learn that no earthly king is above God’s moral law the hard way by being deposed, and then blinded, and then left to meditate on his fate until he died in exile. “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin” is not simply an ancient riddle; it is “a dramatic biblical declaration that God numbers, weighs, and divides the fates of nations and individuals according to His justice. The story of Belshazzar’s feast remains a timeless theological warning: no power, however grand, escapes divine scrutiny.”[5]
Like Nebuchadnezzar, Donald Trump “killed whom he pleased, spared whom he pleased, promoted whom he pleased, degraded whom he pleased. But because his heart grew swollen with pride, and his spirits stiff with arrogance, he was deprived from his sovereign throne and stripped of his glory.”[6] Like Nebuchadnezzar, Donald Trump’s pride and arrogance became so great that they deprived him of his reason; “his heart grew completely animal; he lived with the wild assess, he fed on grass like the oxen, his body was drenched by the dew of heaven, until he had learnt that the Most High rules over the empire of men and appoints whom he pleases to rule it.”[7]
Trump, as of this writing, is thinking of cutting his losses by withdrawing from the region leaving Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. We pray that he follows the example of Nebuchadnezzar, who finally came to his senses after a period of derangement and admitted that “the Most High rules over the kingship of men.” But he could end up like Belshazzar, the blind leader of a blind people. “Caecus dux, caici populi” is the phrase Silvio Aeneas Piccolomini, who became Pope Pius II, applied to Jan Zizka, the Hussite general. Belshazzar was literally blinded by the Chaldean king who inflicted God’s chastisement on Israel because “you have not humbled your heart. . . . You have defied the Lord of heaven.”
Cyrus, the Persian king who defeated Belshazzar, set the Hebrew captives free and told them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. God is now using Persia to inflict punishment on Israel. Let’s pray that the same rod will destroy the Israel Lobby and free America from its Jewish oppressors. Trump needs to heed the warnings now emanating from Tehran and abandon his faithless Jewish partners in crime, lest he end up like Belshazzar.
