Iran and the 16th Summit of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM)
Hark, the uproar of a multitude in the mountains, like that of a great people! The noise of the tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathering together! The Lord of hosts is mustering the host for the battle (Isaiah 13:4)
Sometimes news comes from left field. I was reading the Saturday 25 August 2012 edition of our local paper (the Canberra Times - Canberra is the capital city of Australia) and came across an article about Iran taking over chairmanship of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) for the next few years. I believe that Iran is a key player in the immediate destiny of the Middle East, with worldwide ramifications (Isaiah 13 shows Iran as a nation of aggressive influence in the Day of the Lord!), so this news caught my attention.
· The initials NAM also stand for New Age Movement and is MAN in reverse (there could be unexpected meaning in this!)
So what amazing timing for Iran to take over chairmanship of this group (from Egypt), providing it with a broadly based political/international forum to promote its agenda on Israel and the United States, and influence the politics of member countries! The 16th summit of NAM is being held in Tehran from 26 to 31 August 2012. The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a group of states considering themselves not aligned formally with or against any major power bloc. As of 2012, the movement had 120 members and 17 observer countries.
More details on NAM are available on Wikipedia (link below) - the list of member countries and observer nations and organisations is remarkable. This is a forum that could well play an important role in end time events the first Committee mentioned is the Committee on Palestine!

An article from www.globalresearch.ca (direct link below) highlights the role of this group, and the summit currently underway. The NAM is the second largest international organization and body in the world after the United Nations. Some excerpts from the article are below the link.

Ecerpts from Global Research article: “The upcoming summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will be held in Tehran from August 26 to 31, 2012. What will take place is an international extravaganza, minus NATO and its key de facto members. African, Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American officials will be there in full strength. The Chinese, which have the status of observers in the NAM, will be there. The Russians have been invited as Iran’s special guests. To help the Palestinians, Hamas will also be given a special seat at the table under an invitation sent from Iran to Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to participate at the summit alongside the US-Israeli puppet Mahmoud Abbas.”
“The gathering of NAM leaders will doubtlessly be an important event for Iran’s international prestige and status. For almost a week Tehran will be a key center of the world alongside the offices of the UN in New York City and Geneva. Not only will Iran be the venue for one of the largest international get-togethers of world leaders, but it will also be handed over the organization’s chairmanship from Arab powerhouse Egypt. Iran will retain this position as the leader of the NAM for the next few years and will be able to speak on behalf of the international organization.”
