Iranian Video Says Mahdi is 'Near'
CBN ^ | 3/28/2011 | Erick Stakelbeck

Posted on 03/28/2011 11:12:57 AM PDT by Clairity

New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi--or Islamic messiah--is about to appear.

It's called The Coming is Near and it describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical tweflth Imam or Mahdi -- the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days.

The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching.

Matthew 24:

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Ha, I’ll be gone by then.

By the way, how do you think the whole economic system is going to collapse? (Hint: In the blink of an eye tens of millions of wage earners, producers and consumers will be gone.)

I think it is the Chinese who are going to teach them a real lesson.

Once the establish the ‘caliphate’ and try to take over the rest of the world, the chinese will send waves of millions of people marching down there to kill the muzzies and take the women. (China has a severe shortage of wimmin folk)

The bible says this too, about the end times. There would be armies of millions of men and such armies were never possible before now. China has them. They will not stand for being taken over by Islam.

I can’t see any reason for them to attack the USA- we mean no harm to them and we owe them a bunch of money.

Yes, and the Evil One’s talent is mimicking God to his advantage. If the Evil One is working with his false religion (Islam) concerning the coming of the Islam Mahdi, then maybe he knows the time is near, too.

They will have to wait until 2012. Right now he’s our president.

They may be partly right, but I’m beginning to think, based on BIBLE prophesy, that they guy may actually be the Antichrist, and he will have victory over all non-muslims in the “second to last” days, followed by the last days, where Jesus has the final victory.
