Elias Bejjani/Text & Video: The Fall of Assad’s Regime: A Faith Certainty and a Foreshadowing for the Iranian Mullahs’ Dictatorship Elias Bejjani/December 08/ 2024
The fall of the tyrannical Baathist Assad regime in Syria, after 55 years of oppressive rule, marks the definitive end of an era rooted in serving the forces of evil, represented symbolically by Lucifer, the prince of darkness. This regime’s collapse is a testament to divine justice and a vivid reminder of the biblical principle that all oppressive and malevolent systems inevitably meet their demise. The same fate undoubtedly awaits the Iranian Mullahs’ dictatorship, another regime entrenched in terrorism and injustice.
Assad’s downfall is not just a political event but a divine reckoning, foreseen in scripture and faith. The Bible reminds us repeatedly that God, in His infinite wisdom and justice, allows time for repentance but never neglects to bring judgment upon evil. As it is written, “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God” (1 Corinthians 6:19). Assad’s regime, like all oppressive systems, desecrated this sacred principle by violating the dignity and humanity of countless individuals in Syria, Lebanon, and beyond.
Biblical Parallels and Divine Justice
The fate of the Assad regime is mirrored in biblical prophecies:
“Woe to you, destroyer, you who have not been destroyed; woe to you, betrayer, you who have not been betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed” (Isaiah 33:1). These words echo the inevitable justice that awaits all oppressors. Assad’s crimes against humanity, his betrayal of his people, and his relentless destruction could only lead to his shameful fall.
“Whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you” (John 16:23). The prayers of the oppressed, the cries of the tortured, and the faith of the just have been answered. This is a divine intervention, not merely a human effort, ensuring that no injustice remains hidden, and no tyrant escapes judgment.
A Message to the Iranian Mullahs
The collapse of Assad’s regime serves as a harbinger for the Iranian Mullahs. Just as the Baathist dictatorship fell despite decades of ruthless control, the Mullahs’ regime, founded on oppression, terrorism, and the distortion of religion, will face a similar destiny. History and faith assure us that regimes built on lies and injustice are doomed to fail. The same divine justice that dismantled Assad’s regime will undoubtedly dismantle the Mullahs’ grip on Iran and their regional proxies.
The Iranian regime has brought untold suffering, not only to its people but to nations across the Middle East through its sponsorship of terrorism and its hegemonic ambitions. The Bible’s teachings emphasize that “there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known” (Luke 12:2). This assurance reinforces our belief that the Mullahs’ crimes will not go unpunished.
Faith in Action
The fall of Assad’s regime is a call to action for all who value justice and human dignity. It is a moment to reaffirm faith in divine justice and to actively oppose oppressive regimes that violate human rights. With faith, prayer, and perseverance, the downfall of the Iranian Mullahs will follow. As Christians and believers in the principles of justice, we are called to stand firm in the truth, saying, “Yes, yes, or no, no,” and rejecting all forms of complicity or apathy in the face of evil.
The Road Ahead
We pray and work for a Middle East free of tyranny and terror. Assad’s fall is a milestone, but it is not the end of the journey. The next chapter begins with the dismantling of the Iranian regime, whose policies have perpetuated suffering in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and beyond. Let us remain steadfast, united in faith and purpose, until the forces of darkness are vanquished and the light of justice prevails.
In the words of scripture: “The righteous will rejoice when they see vengeance done; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked” (Psalm 58:10). This is not a call for violence but a prophetic assurance that justice, both divine and earthly, will prevail.
