Maybe it is the slow appearance of the awaited "hidden" or 12th Imam:)
‘Maybe it is the slow appearance of the awaited “hidden” or 12th Imam:)’
You added a smiley...but what a scary thought. You know, sooner or later time will cease, & judgment will come upon the world. Just as Satan inadvertently played a role in bringing salvation to the world [Satan entered Judas, who betrayed the Lord—sending him to the cross which, unbeknownst to Satan, played a crucial role in Jesus’ victory over sin & death], the devil could play a key role in drawing history to a close. His ‘appearance’ as the 12th Imam could be a reality—a very real part of the impending End.
[Please, no eschatological arguments. Despite what I just posted, I don’t go in for in-depth discussions along those lines. I just found the connection, however jokingly made, between Islam, the 12th Imam & Satan irresistible. It was a one off comment, though; no more will follow.]
