Iranian President Ahmadinejad has marked the Iranian al Quds Day in a televised address to the nation, in which he repeated calls for the Jewish state to be wiped off the map. Tens of thousands of people marched through Teheran during the event, first established by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khameini, chanting "Death to America! Death to Israel". Members of the the Basij, the Islamic army that is claimed to number 20 million suicide bombers and child soldiers, joined the march chanting, "Hizbullah fights, Israel trembles!". Iran had previously warned that if Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked, Israel would immediately face the wrath of the Basij. Children held balloons with "Death to Israel" emblazoned on them, and men and women held placards calling for the state of Israel to be obliterated. During his address to the nation, the Iranian President accused Israel of a Palestinian "genocide", and called on a Jewish state to be created in Canada instead of "Palestine".

Quote: ""Iran condemns fabricating such a pretext (the Holocaust) for the Zionist regime to commit genocide against the Palestinian nation and occupy Palestine," Ahmadinejad said in a live broadcast to mark the annual Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day in the Islamic Republic. "The Iranian nation and countries in the region will not rest until Palestine is free and criminals punished," he said in the speech before Friday prayers.

On Wednesday I had trouble with my car, and had to take a taxi home from work. During my conversation with the driver, he happened to mention his trip to Poland, during which he visited the Auschwitz concentration camp. He isn't a Christian, but said it was a very moving experience. He said that during the war, when the Jews were taken to the camp, they were told they were being sent to Canada. The Nazis told them to pack all their belongings in their suitcases, and put all their money and valuables in their coat pockets. The Jews were then taken to the showers and gassed. Their pockets were rifled, their suitcases emptied, and the bodies of the Jewish people were transported to Canada I and Canada II, two massive incinerators where Hitler destroyed the evidence of genocide. So when President Ahmadinejad mentions Canada, I can't imagine what must be going through the minds of the Jewish people. His comments reveal his true intentions. There is no doubt Ahmadinejad would not be satisfied with the eradication of Israel, if that were possible. For he believes in the forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which states that the Holocaust is a myth, that the Jewish people are in total control the media and that they are the sole cause of all the problems the world faces today.

Some Christians believe that the Scriptures actually mention the atrocity of the Holocaust. Psalm 102 deals with the persecution of the Jews. The chapter states that the Jewish people would eat ashes like bread. The two incinerators which the Nazis used to burn the bodies of the Jews belched out a thick cloud of ashes, which covered the ground around the camp like a layer of snow. Psalm 102 also mentions the establishment of the state of Israel, and the return of Christ to set up His Millennial Kingdom...

Psalm 102:13
Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

Psalm 102:16
When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

Although the Jewish nation will have to endure one more persecution before they will turn to their Messiah, praise God that just as this first verse has been partly fulfilled, so the second must soon come to pass.
