It really makes you wonder when you look back at Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s statement of April 23rd, less than a month ago, as he threatened Israel with annihilation. It was during a visit to Pakistan that Raisi referred to Israel as the “Zionist regime,” whose destruction he promised if they would dare to attack Iran.
Because when thinking about the Biblical accounts of cause and effect, it’s only natural to make the comparison of someone who, after threatening the Jews, ended up hanging on his own gallows. But who was Ebrahim Raisi, and is it possible to connect his sudden and unexpected demise to a sovereign act of God – even in the year 2024?
At age 63, Raisi, whose full name was Raisolsadati, was the son-in-law of a prominent Imam. He became Iran’s eighth president in 2021. As a prosecutor and Deputy Chief Justice of Iran, he rose to prominence as the country’s president when appointed by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Earning for himself a fearsome reputation, he was labeled “The Butcher of Tehran,” “responsible for the execution of thousands of political prisoners, accused of crimes against humanity by international human rights organizations and United Nations special rapporteurs.”
You’d be hard-pressed to find an individual who was more of a hardliner in Iranian politics than Raisi, and, perhaps, that accounts for the remark made by IDF Intelligence Chief Major General Tamir Hayman who commented, upon hearing his demise, that “it would be hard to find someone worse.”

More likely, his death was a political assassination orchestrated by Grand Poobah, Ali Khamenei. Why? Because Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, wants to succeed his father and become the next grand poobah, and his chief rival was Raisi:

There’s no spiritual or Biblical significance to the modern state denominated “Israel”.
Therefore the answer to the question is probably “no”.
What is funny is how acronyms change in meaning. Before WWII, when a pilot said IFR he meant “I Follow Roads.”
Mossad or cia are to incompetent to pull this off
It’s either an inside job or shear luck
I say inside luck as there is no such thing as shear luck
If there were the slightest chance he’d be replaced by somebody not as evil I’d say maybe. But there isn’t. He’s gonna be replaced by another sleazebag who looks, talks, and acts the same.
Amen. He is patient and gives sinners chances to repent, but some people choose judgment unto themselves.
I agree. The 'side' where we get to 'grow spiritually' isn't that much fun...
OTOH, God could have caused/allowed them to make some really bad judgment calls about the best flying conditions.
And just when Iran was going to release his new breakfast cereal, Raisi Bran.
“OTOH, God could have caused/allowed them to make some really bad judgment calls about the best flying conditions.”
Possible. But I’ve known Iranians, and they don’t need God’s help to make bad judgement calls. When your culture tells you that whatever thing happens is due to Allah’s will, what’s the incentive to think anything through? A guy who trained Muslim’s in flying the aircraft his company sold would take a qualified pilot up, but it into a flat spin and ask them to recover. He said, they’d start screaming “Allahu Akbar” (I think that was it.) But they wouldn’t take the actions he had taught them. He’d backhand them, take the controls and pull out of the spin. Then they’d do it again. The thing was, because God was in control, they weren’t. Until he could get them to recover from a flat spin, he wouldn’t sign off on them flying the plane. (He was a massive, big guy. He said, only physical force could overcome their innate stupidity.)
I believe it was.
Those Mullahs wear those black headdresses to hide their horns.
No. To believe that you’d have to believe God was ok letting Hitler and Stalin do their bloody work. And you would have to believe there is no free will and that god still throws lightning bolts at bad people.
He doesn’t play silly games in the temporal world. He is more about your soul and eternity.
LOL
He’s got a mission to accomplish with Israel. And an unfulfilled promise (or dozens to be exact).
He will not allow them to be destroyed.
The proof is in the obstacles and insanity they run up against in every generation, yet they are still here and he will make examples occasionally of morons who test His limits (Haman, Herod Agrippa, and others).
Has anybody ever done the math on Jewish & Arab Populations?
Both races came into being with Isaac and Ishmael.
2020 Estimated Global Population
Arabs 465M
Jews 15.7M
Mathematically, Jews should be almost even with Arabs - but no, that is not the case.
Nobody asks and wonders why. Somebody, somewhere is trying to genocide them off - since the beginning.
It does not have to have been the pilot’s bad decision or skills. I suspect Raisi was the kind of guy who wanted to move when he said so. Probably “knew” Allah was on his side and any decision he made was the right one. Therefore, the heck with any opinion the pilot might have had. After all, who says NO to the guy who has a resume of killing lots of people.
Sounds similar to Kobe’s crash. Although in that situation, Kobe’s pilot wanted to keep his job. So he took that risk. And the rest is history.
