Corsi 'Prophecy Tour' in Topeka tonight

"Atomic Iran" author Jerome Corsi will continue his cross-country "Prophecy Tour" with a stop tonight in Topeka, Kan.

With events in Iran unfolding much as his book predicted, Corsi is on a tour hosted by "The Prophecy Club," a nationwide Christian ministry that serves as a central information source on current events that coincide with biblical prophecy.

Corsi will be in Topeka tonight at The Prophecy Club, 1403 SW 41st Street.

The tour concludes tomorrow night in Des Moines, Iowa, at the Marriott Hotel, 1250 Jordan Creek Parkway.

Previous stops were Plano, Texas; Stockton, Calif.; Portland, Ore.; St. Louis; Milwaukee; Romulus, Mich.; Lansing, Mich.; and Cleveland.

"The Prophecy Club presents an opportunity to spread the information contained in 'Atomic Iran' to an audience that understands the widespread implications of world events – personally, politically and spiritually," Corsi says. "I am not claiming that the book is prophecy, or that I am a prophet, or that the book is inspired by God. I speak to every audience that wants to hear the message of 'Atomic Iran,' because the subject is so terribly important."

In the updated edition of "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," now available in paperback from WND Books, Corsi reveals new predictions and analysis about an Iran marching toward destructive nuclear power and related Middle East events.

Corsi was ahead of the fray when "Atomic Iran" was first released last year, having forecasted many of Iran's disturbing developments before President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad publicly pronounced them this year.

"The predictions in 'Atomic Iran' continue to come true," Corsi said. "I continue to see a war coming with Israel. I continue to think Israel will use tactical nukes to get Iran's deeply buried concrete-embedded nuclear facilities – like Natanz," Corsi said.

Among the predictions Corsi is addressing during the tour are these:

Iran will have an atomic bomb no matter how many times the country asserts that its intentions are entirely "peaceful."
Israel will use tactical nuclear weapons in the pre-emptive military strike against Iran.

"The business with Ahmadinejad and the Mahdi scares me, too – especially if Ahmadinejad believes he has to cause an apocalypse to bring back the Mahdi (Islamic messiah)," Corsi says. "Iran says it will tell the United Nations on August 22 their answer to the nuclear incentives offer. This is a sacred date in Islam. This, too, scares me."

The date corresponds with the Islamic date of Rajab 28, the same day on which the great Saladin conquered and entered Jerusalem.

Corsi writes: "The anticipation is that when the Mahdi returns, Islam will triumph over all other religions such that an Iranian-style Shiite Islamic theocracy will replace every other government on the face of the Earth. The belief in the Second Coming of the Mahdi is similar to the belief of many evangelical Christians who anticipate the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Yet there is an important difference. The cult of the Mahdi holds that the world must experience an Apocalypse before the Mahdi comes back."

Ahmadinejad's apocalyptic scenario was highlighted this past week in a Wall Street Journal editorial by scholar Bernard Lewis of Princeton University.

Corsi said that while it's possible Iran plans to launch an attack on Aug. 22, it's more likely that if Tehran has a nuclear weapon it will just go ahead an use it.

"Terrorist don't brag about things they're going to do until after they do it," Corsi explained. "This is more typical of the bragging they do when they want to gain attention. They are not ready to strike."

When Ahmadinejad is capable of taking action, Corsi said, "he will do it without any warning or bravado; he'll just do it."

Corsi believes that the current conflict in Lebanon, which Tehran is waging through its proxy Hezbollah, was designed only to take attention away from demands made during the G-8 meeting for Iran to stop enriching uranium.

"They didn't expect Israel to react they way they did," Corsi said.

Now that Israel has taken the initiative in pressing the case against Syria and Iran, he continued, "the key thing is whether or not the world community allows Israel to get the job done."

"Any premature attempt to get Israel to stop will not be in the best interest of Israel and the U.S.," Corsi declared.
