In a move that is certain to stir international anger, Iran has announced plans to stage an international conference to examine the scientific aspects of the Holocaust and its repercussion. This official Iranian statement follows a series of inflammatory remarks by Iran's President Ahmadinejad who has described the murder of six billion Jews by the Nazis in the Second World War as a myth and called for Israel to be wiped off the map.
At this point of time it is not clear who would attend such a conference sponsored by Iran, it seems clear that the announcement of the conference will trigger suspicions that Iran's aim is to deny that the Holocaust happened.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Iran's denial that the Holocaust ever happened does not change history, nor the future when the world's worst Holocaust will take place according to Bible prophecy. Iran's President Ahmadinejad has been unashamedly outspoken since his election to not only deny the scientific evidence of the Holocaust, but proclaim that six million Jews were not killed by Hitler and the Nazis during World War II.
Ahmadinejad's rhetoric has intensified over the last several months and has been reinforced by official Egyptian newspapers, the Palestinian leadership in Israel, and various other anti-Semites around the world. This present-day scenario is actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Bible prophecy reveals that persecution of the Jews will intensify near the midway point of the seven year Tribulation Period, a time of judgment upon the earth in the future, Revelation 12:13, 17. The ancient Jewish prophet, Zechariah says that during that same time, two out of every three Jews on earth will be killed, a slaughter of Jews worst than the World War II Holocaust.
Iran's call for a conference to question the authenticity of the Holocaust is another step in setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
