Why Do Iranians Burn Obelisks?
In February 2011, young Iranians astounded the world by a move that no one had ever thought about in the entire world.
On the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on the 10th of February 2011, an obelisk was burnt as a symbol of Satan.
This great move in the recent years was followed by a larger reflection and made the Iranian youth a symbol for the whole wide world.
But what was the Cause of this Move and why is Iran its Origin?
To answer this question, one should examine what obelisk represents among Muslims, because Iran is an Islamic country and Islam leads the direction of its movement.
Ramy al-Jamarat – Stoning of the Devil
The answer lies within an event that took place many years ago, when Prophet Abraham (AS) was ordered by Allah to sacrifice his son Ishmael (according to the Holy Bible, the sacrifice was Isaac). Abraham (AS) trusted God and walked towards the altar with his son. This was a test for them so that a bright future would be given to them as a reward. Therefore, Satan was terrified of the Divine gift of God and tried to prevent them from executing God's Will; Satan appeared three times in three different locations in front of Abraham, to defeat him using his weakness as a father. But the prophet, who had a firm faith in God's Will and no word but that of God's had an effect on him, each time, threw seven pebbles (jamarat) at Satan (this act is called ramy al-jamarat) and took refuge in God. Thus, he successfully passed the test from God and God gave Ishmael back to him and gave him the Imamate reward by blessing him with "Ishmael", and told him “I will give you a holy generation through Ishmael so that my rules would be executed on earth by them.”
Genesis chapter 17 verse 21: And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
This action is called Ramy al-Jamarat and each year is implemented at the Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj, as one of the principle rituals. Ali ibn Jafar said: I asked Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s), “Why is Ramy al-Jamarat obligatory?” He answered: “Because the doomed Satan appeared in front of Abraham in that spot and Abraham stoned him, therefore, this became a ritual in Hajj.” (Bihar al-Anwar, chapter 96. page 273)
The Background of Obelisks
Jamarat means the place of aggregation of pebbles. Naming these columns (the locations where Satan appeared) may have several reasons. One of the reasons is that these columns were found on the spot which is the place of aggregation of pebbles (by Abraham). The second reason may lie behind the fact that these columns were made of pebbles and cement and therefore were called jamarat.
Late Fazel Esfahani has written in the book „Kashf ol Letham? on the interpretation of jamarat: “Jamara is a column that is found or it is the place of this column.” (Adapted from a new research about jamarat by Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi)
In this event of Rami al-Jamarat, in exactly the same three spots where Satan appeared before prophet Abraham, Muslims throw seven stones to accompany the messenger of God symbolically.
"Rami al-Jamarat is considered a symbol of evil and throwing pebbles at the columns is known as a symbol of hating and disgusting Satan as it is said in the prayer regarding the ritual: “Oh Almighty God, Keep Satan away from me!” (Adapted from the book: Vasael o-Shia). Time and cause of origin of these columns are unknown, but what is clearly known, is the very similarity of these jamarats to the Obelisks. Obelisks are a series of quadrilateral pyramid shapes and are called "the Devil column."
The important fact is the antiquity that this symbol has in human history, although it wasn't named Obelisk but it was named "Baal". The Holy Qur'an (Sura Safat, verse 125) reads: "Do you call upon Baal and leave the Best Creator?" Here, it is clear that they had an idol known as "Baal" which they prostrated in front of it. Prophet Elias prevented them from such an ugly deed, and invited them to the Great Creator of the world and pure monotheism. It is said that the golden idol was so big that its length was 20 cubits and was four-sided, and his crew were over four hundred people. (Adapted from the book Tafsire Nemoone)
Elsewhere, in the book of the Torah (Old Testament, Kings, Chapter 17, verse 16), it reads:
"And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal".
But we must search for the big examples of this symbol in Egypt's religious centers and the Kabalistic Pagan world. Obelisk was a symbol of fertility among Isis and Osiris, and as a result,
Horus, the Sun god was born. On the other hand, it symbolizes the death and the dead world because Osiris was the god of the dead world and revelation.
Since Zionists, Satanists, and other such groups,the root of faith is "Kabala" and since they hold Egypt as the origin of these teachings(they believe to Jebt and idolatrous), it led them to choose Obelisks as their main symbol because of its central role in Ancient Egypt.
The importance of this column is so widespread that in recent centuries, hundreds of Obelisks were built around the world, including in countries like America, Britain, Russia, Italy, Sweden, France, Scotland , Uruguay, Ireland, Pakistan, Singapore ,Argentina, Israel, New Zealand, Venezuela, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Philippines, Canada, North Korea, Turkey and most recently, Azerbaijan. The most famous Obelisk in the modern era, which is also the largest Obelisk in recorded history, is the Obelisk commemorating George Washington, first American president and a senior member of the Masonic Lobbies, that was built in the nineteenth century in America
Protection of the Devil Column
The idol Baal, which was worshiped by Pagans, is attacked each year in Hajj by Muslims with pebbles with hatred. Hence, upon the Western domination's orders, an Israeli architect named Norman Foster, with the cooperation of Al Saud (leader of the Wahhabi sect) and under the pretext of overcrowding, has built a wall around the columns of the devil to keep the pebbles from hitting it. And virtually, monotheistic ritual of Hajj in the world was stripped of this anti-Zionist and anti-Satan movement.
This action was a declaration of a new war by the Satan worshipers and the pioneers of Satanism, specifically the Zionists.
So it was necessary to act against this Satanist action. A group of young Iranians proceeded to burn this satanic symbol to show the world that "the devil's plot is weak indeed." And "there is no power except the power of God."
After this move, in the summer of 2011, an earthquake caused a crack and a three degree tilt to the world's largest Obelisk which is 169 meters and located in the famous city of Washington .This made Iranians very happy and made them stronger in this fight. It was as if God also had a message for the worshippers of devil.
But really, why can't everyone dare to make such a move?
Iran, the Real Freedom
The fact is that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the leader of pure Islam, the main opponent of Zionism and its head, the terrorist state of Israel. One reason for this disagreement with Zionists is that is has usurped the land of Palestine. Israel, with its crimes and atrocities in Palestine and other countries, is a clear example of human rights' violations.
All these crimes are happening while the governments of Israel, America and England use the establishment of peace and restoration of human rights in other countries as an excuse to invade and exploit other countries.
These governments, led by Israel, are the followers of Satan. They are using many different ways to try to spread Satan's ideas in the world. This is the main reason for Iran's opposition against Israel.
In addition, many people around the world are not aware of the fact that these governments - especially Israel – have the advantage of being largely involved in the global media and big media giants in the world and thus, can spread their satanic beliefs very easily.
Nobody in any country dares to criticize them and if they ask any questions of such kind, they will be ostracized. Among all countries, the governments and people of Iran, due to their independence from these governments and faith in the fact that their enemies are weak, stand against oppression and tyranny, and accept the sanctions while relying on Allah. And they are sure that if they help Allah, He will help them and strengthen them. As a result of enduring of these sanctions, Iran is the only country that has the true meaning of freedom of expression.
Israelis and Obelisks
The Obelisk is actually the symbol of “New World Order", the same one that was introduced by Jewish and Zionist Rockefeller and later was used by Bush father and son, an event that they wanted to celebrate with overall propaganda campaign in 2012 and as usual, failed to do so and lagged behind the New World Order.
That was what happened in 1980, but with the blessing of Iran's Islamic Revolution, it was postponed to another year such as 2000 and 2007 and 2012.
What draws attention is the sanctity of Obelisks for governments like Israel, America and England.
All the claims that Israel has on the land of Palestine and Jerusalem are based on religious excuses. They consider themselves Jews and the followers of Musa (AS) and want to cover up all their evil deeds using this theory, and that's what the governments of Britain, America and Saudi Arabia also follow.
But how can a Jewish, Christian or Muslim who truly believes in his/her religion walk in the path of Satan's purposes, the same Satan that God has declared to be His enemy?
