The Reality
Even if you don’t believe the Bible, world circumstance are unfolding just as foretold. Either the prophets are prophets or they are just really good guessers.
A call for a unified Islamic world is now being called for. Iranian president Ahmadinejad in 2005 to UN stated,"From the beginning of time, humanity has longed for the day when justice, peace, equality, and compassion envelop the world. O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the promised one, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.When that day comes, the ultimate promise of all Divine religions will be fulfilled with the emergence of a perfect human being who is heir to all prophets and pious men. He will lead the world to justice and absolute peace."
Her the West had their first introduction to the Mahdi. Iran has now established an institute dedicated to the study of the Mahdi. It even produces children’s magazines and many other educational materials.
The Mahdi will be able to call lightning down from heaven. The Shahab, the choice name picked for Iran’s missile, literally means lightning. The countdown has begun. They even have the mosque ready for his coming.
Hojjatieh is the society of the Shia muslims that is all about the coming of the Mahdi-The Lunatics Are Running the Asylum
They are Governed by a conviction that the 12th Imam’s return can be hastened by causing chaos upon the earth. Ahmadinejad’s mentor and spiritual advisor, Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, is considered by many to presently be the highest-ranking member of the Hojjatieh Society.
The defining element has many in the world that are paying attention concerned, that the Mahdi returns at time of Chaos and bloodshed.
Netanyahu describes the group as “I was looking for an analogy to try to explain to Americans what it is that is so dangerous about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. You remember those crazy people in Waco, Texas? Imagine David Koresh with nuclear weapons. Imagine David Koresh, not with hundreds of followers, but millions of followers, with nuclear weapons, wanting to obliterate America, wanting to obliterate America’s allies, wanting to take over the world’s oil supply. If the lunatics escape from the asylum, that is one thing; however, if they can get their hands on a nuclear weapon, that is another. This is that kind of cult. It’s the cult of the Mahdi”
While focusing on this in Iran they miss the infestation that this view is also spreading to Iraq in both Shi’a and Sunni sects. January 2007 American troops killed a guy claiming to be the Mahdi. One of my buddies was actually on that mission. According to Zeyad, there are now at least 7 different Mahdist sects in Iraq, each one believing the return of the Mahdi is imminent.
Even in the 19th century in Algeria this was happening.
FALSE CHRISTS
Christ said in last days many would rise, this is happening in the Middle East. Muslims have a sense of entitlement that world domination is their destiny. There have been calls to return Muslim caliphate. Sheikh Raed Salah of the Islamic movement in Israel stated, "Jerusalem will soon be the capital of a Muslim Arab Caliphate, and all efforts by the Israeli establishment to Judaize the city will amount to nothing...soon Jerusalem will be the capital of the new Muslim caliphate, and the caliph's seat will be there."
Many surveys show since the US began fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan Muslims see this as a war on ISLAM. Muslims regard themselves as UMA or community of believers. They share a brotherhood.
The Caliphate is still esteemed by modern day Muslims. How many times have we heard most Muslims are moderate, yet we don't hear that over 2/3 in many surveys call for a Caliphate and implementation of Sharia.
It is a requirement that the Caliphate declare official Jihad, this is part of the reason that Muslims say they are against terrorism, because it has not been OK’d by the Caliphate. Once there is a Caliphate, it is law that they must declare Jihad.
Gog Magog
It is time for Christians to get their house in order. We see Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83 coalition forming right before our eyes. New developments seem to fall into place daily. Among specific nations Turkey, Iran, Sudan Syria and Libya
Analysts all agree the most significant thing from the war in Iraq is the power of Shi’a has risen. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been top in oil production. Simply put, whoever has the oil has the money and the power. Iran is the 2nd greatest oil producer. In this whole thing This whole thing nations are taking sides. One side we have is primarily Sunni and so-called moderate Western friendly coalition, and on the other side is a divided Shi’a/Sunni coalition that is staunchly anti-west and far from moderate.
This division fits perfectly with what we are to see in end times Daniel 2:41 “The Kingdom will be divided”
In light of blatantly violent calls from Islamic nations to destroy Israel, the belief peace can happen is like Neville chamberlain’s peace treaty with Hitler. Septmeber 30, 1938, "PM Neville Chamberlain arrived back in the UK today, holding an agreement signed by Adolph Hitler which is stated the German leader's desire never to go to war with Britain again. Mr. Chamberlain declared the accord with the Germans signaled 'peace for our time,' after he had read it to the jubilant crowd gathered at Heston airport in west London. The German leader stated in the agreement: 'We are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe."
Likewise and even more frightening, is the apostle Paul's warning in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
CONCLUSION
Nearly every statistic is pointing to the direction of the end. The world we live in is forming to the world prophesied, and the time is shorter than we can imagine, therefore, let us hasten the work of God. Let us not fall short of that which we are called to. Let us stand and be burning lighthouses that can be seen from the ends of the earth to the deepest darkest reaches of the shadows. We must speak Christ to this world, and truly live or lives for Him. It is what we have been made for, to serve and be in intertwined relationship with our King who loved us so much, He did not even spare His own life. We must kill the man inside, die to ourselves daily, and allow Christ to reign in our lives, and in so doing take His message to the world. We will give an account before the Bema seat what we did for the Kingdom. That day is fast approaching, much quicker than most realize. What will you have left when your treasure and inheritance is tested with fire?
