FF. It takes some panache to both be a strict Biblical literalist and believe that the book of Revelation is about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but I think our man can pull it off.

believe that the book of Revelation is about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

just for the record, this is obviously not correct. 

I have simply stated the Iranian leadership give every indiciation that they are religiously driven to destroy Israel.  The bible, but not the book of Revelation, says that Iran and Russia will lead an alliance to attack Israel during the end times, but no timetable is given for such a war - it could be a long way off, even hundreds of years.  It is simply the pace of events, not any doctrine that I hold, that leads me to lean toward it being within the next 20 years.

But, aside from any biblical interpretation, Iran should be taken very seriously

OK, now you've got me intrigued. I was deliberately a bit cheeky using that phrasing, and expected you to say that any identification of current Iranian events with Biblical prophecies was your own speculation, since obviously the Bible doesn't explicitly mention Ahmedinejad or anyone else by name. But now in your more serious reply, in discussing not your own eschatological inquiries but the actual content of the Bible, you state that the Bible says that Iran and Russia will lead an attack against Israel? Where? I can imagine Biblical references to ancient Persia and Israel, but Russia?
