Gary Varvel: Divine judgment

What’s next for Iran and the ICC’s outrageous arrest warrant

GOD DEPOSES IRAN’S PRESIDENT

“He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others.” (Daniel 2:21)

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi — who is a mass-murderer known as the “butcher of Tehran,” and called for “Death to America” — met Divine judgment when his helicopter crashed into a mountain in northern. You can read about Raisi’s crimes here.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian also died with Raisi in the crash.

Townhall’s Spencer Brown writes about the United Nations’ members honoring Raisi and others who died in the crash and that U.S. Ambassador Robert Wood stood to join the moment of silence for the ones who called for “Death to America.” That’s right, Biden appointed and Senate confirmed U.S. Ambassador honored those who want to destroy us.

RedState reports that Biden’s State Department sent a letter of condolence to Iran and the Democrat-led U.S. Senate opened with a prayer for the Iranian people who mourn the dead, genocidal Iranian President.

Let’s remember that Raisi killed thousands of people including women and children. He funded the October 7 attack in Israel that killed 1,200 innocent Israelis and took over 240 hostages. And Biden’s administration mourns Raisi’s death. What about his victims?

Former Vice President Mike Pence had a better take, writing on X he said, “Raisi is dead and the world is a safer place.”

So what’s next for Iran? Raisi’s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, 69, will take over as the acting President. Who is he? Here is a Jerusalem Post story about him.

Raisi’s death leaves a lot of questions unanswered about Iran future. The Ayatollah Khamenei is 85 and it was believed that he was grooming Raisi to take over for him as the new Dr. Evil, I mean, Supreme Leader. Now it’s anyone’s guess.

The Bible says in Ezekiel 38-39 that Iran (Persia) will be among a coalition of nations including Russia and Turkey that will attack Israel. Verse 8 says this war will happen “In the latter years.” I believe, along with many prophecy scholars today, that this war is in the future and could be in our lifetime. 

Since Biden removed the economic sanctions on Iran, there has been an escalation in attacks against Israel by Iran’s proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Islamic Jihad and Fatah. Could this all be leading to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in our time?

CALLING GOOD EVIL

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20)

The International Criminal Court (ICC), wants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli war council members over imaginary war crimes. The Federalist’s David Harsanyi writes about it here.

This is a perfect example of calling good evil. Netanyahu is trying to protect his people by destroying the terrorist group Hamas. If Hamas would surrender and stop the fighting, there would be peace tomorrow. But their charter calls for the extermination of the Jews. The people who support Hamas are calling evil good.

Writing on X, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wrote, “Israel is fighting a just war for survival, and the ICC is attempting to equate Israeli officials to the evil terrorists who perpetrated the October 7th massacre. It’s clear the ICC’s decision has been advanced due to the Biden Administration’s pressure campaign against Israel and its outlandish State Department investigations. In the absence of leadership from the White House, Congress is reviewing all options, including sanctions, to punish the ICC and ensure its leadership faces consequences if they proceed. If the ICC is allowed to threaten Israeli leaders, ours could be next.”
