regarding the coming of the Mahdi - [link to www.answering-islam.org]
A brief summary of the page is below, people who have studied the biblical description of the antichrist will notice striking resemblances.
1. The Mahdi is Islams primary messiah figure.
2. He will be a descendant of Muhammad and will bear Muhammads name (Muhammad bin Abdullah).
3. He will be a very devout Muslim.
4. He will be an unparalleled spiritual, political and military world leader.
5. He will emerge after a period of great turmoil and suffering upon the earth.
6. He will establish justice and righteousness throughout the world and eradicate tyranny and oppression.

He’s way too late. Indiana Jones found it in the 1930s.
Ping...
Hope Nazis don’t show up...
Ping!
Where was this when Steven Spielberg needed it for “Raiders of the Lost Ark?”
This is interesting. I remember seeing a documentary about the Ark on PBS or something. It was kept in very low key church in Ethiopia. Monks would guard the church. Now if a nice miracle would occur, that would get a few heads turning. I wonder what Pope Benedict thinks of it all? I thought the ark was taken away during the Babylonian captivity? Did they sell it to some ethiopian merchant for a nice price back in 600 BC?
So, it turns out the mahdi is an Ethiopian Christian patriarch.
Now com’on, how on earth has anyone kept this secret for centuries?
Hey if he can find this, have him go after the Obama birth certificate!
I’ll believe when there is independent confirmation of its authenticity.
No..It will enable the Madji to come fourth.
