Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
Iranian groups are planning a massive rally to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran called the “Grand Day of Death to America.”
A new government bureaucratic group called the Death to the U.S. Committee is reportedly organizing the rally according to Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri.
“The crimes of U.S. leaders and international Zionism in dealing with Iran’s great nation will never be erased from public memories and minds,” Jazayeri said.
The New York Times reports the event will include the awarding of the First Major International Award of ‘Down With America.’ The award will be given for the best anti-American picture, poster, song, video or caricature. The winner of the award could receive up to $4,000.
The rally by hard-liners is seen as a response to recent reports that new President Hassan Rouhani is taking a more moderate position with the United States.
