Radical Shi'ite leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
Is waging a war with the West- to bring on;
The return of the Mahdi...(see below)..
Complete chaos, like what's happening in Iraq;
is promised before...
The Prophet returns....
I just wonder, what kind of Prophet are they expecting?
One that thrives on murder, vengance, and terror?
A stark contrast to the Christian version-
Of Christ...
At least in that version, love, righteousness, and life;
Is the message, not death and destruction.

President Ahmadinejad of Iran predictions of the soon return of the Mahdi
Iran state media is broadcasting predictions of the soon return of the Mahdi,
the 12th Imam or the Islamic Messiah. Some Islamic sources state that the Mahdi
may come during a Spring equinox. The Mahdi was believed to have disappeared
several centuries ago, but is expected to reappear in the end times to conquer
the world for Allah. The reappearance of the Mahdi has been predicted several
times by President Ahmadinejad of Iran, who is actively preparing his people
and the nation for his arrival. At the start of this year, sources close to
Ahmadinejad stated they believed the coming of the Mahdi was as close as a few
years away. Part of Iran's preparation for the Mahdi includes the development
of nuclear weapons, enabling Iran to become a powerful force in the Middle East
and defeat the enemies of Islam (namely Israel).
Quote: ""The Mahdi's far sightedness and firmness in the face of mischievous
elements will strike awe. After his uprising from Mecca all of Arabia will be
submit to him and then other parts of the world as he marches upon Iraq and
established his seat of global government in the city of Kufa. "Then the Imam
will send 10 thousand of his forces to the east and west to uproot the
oppressors. At this time Allah will facilitate things for him and lands will
come under his control one after the other," the website declared. "After his
appearance the Imam would remain in Mecca for some time, and then go to
Medina... a descendant of the Prophet's archenemy Abu Sofyan will seize Syria
and attack Iraq and the Hejaz with the ferocity of a beast... finally Imam
Mahdi sends troops who kill the Sofyani in Beit ol-Moqaddas (Jerusalem), the
Islamic holy city in Palestine that is currently under occupation of the
Zionists," the IRIB added.
Muslims believe that the Mahdi will return with the Prophet Jesus as his
"Lieutenant", who will kill Dajjal (the Muslim Antichrist) and rule over
Jerusalem for a period of seven years. This Prophet Jesus will then kill the
pig and break the cross until Islam is the only religion left. After 40 years
the Prophet Jesus will die and be laid to rest beside Mohammed.
Quote: "Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary
(Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and
will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya (a tax taken from
the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then
there will be abundance of money and no-body will accept charitable gifts.
This is of course remarkably similar to the end time scenario as described in
the Old and New Testaments. The Bible states that the Antichrist will
effectively rule from Jerusalem for a period of seven years, with his false
prophet who will be given power by Satan to work all manner of lying wonders
(Revelation 13:13-15, 2nd Thessalonians 2:9). This false prophet will cause all
who do not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. In the Scriptures,
Satan also persecutes the woman (Israel - the "pigs") who brought forth the
manchild (Jesus Christ), and those who keep the testimony of Jesus (the
"crosses" - tribulation saints) - Revelation 12:17.
It's important to remember that while the Muslims may have part of the "truth"
regarding the end times, they don't have it all. Satan knows the Scriptures
better than we do and has deceived Muslims in such a way that the ultimate goal
for them is to worship Satan as God. For the "Christian" world - all those who
didn't have salvation, had no teaching on the rapture and remain behind after
it has taken place, it will be the natural thing to listen to what the false
prophet is saying (Revelation 13:11). And for the Jews, a time of trouble
(Jeremiah 30:7) that has never been experienced before, nor will be after
(Matthew 24:21).
