IRAN: ARMAGEDDON AT HAND, PREPARE FOR WAR
Islamic messiah Mahdi expected to return with Jesus, kill infidels
Iran is again asserting that Armageddon is at hand and that the Islamic regime’s followers, indeed all of Islam, must prepare for a monumental change in the world.
Officials of the Islamic regime last month held their annual conference on the Mahdism Doctrine to prepare for the coming of the last Islamic messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam, Mahdi.
Shiites, whose clerics rule Iran with an iron fist, believe that at the end of times, Mahdi, a 9th century prophet, will reappear with Jesus Christ at his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners of the world, establishing worldwide Islamic governance.
Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, said at the conference that, “I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that of the righteous government before the coming,” according to Fars News Agency, the regime’s media outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards.
“Righteous government” is a key to Mahdi’s return, the Shiites believe.
“It has been stated in the Islamic hadith that a wave of uprisings (such as the current upheavals in the Arab world) … takes place before the main uprising and that the righteous government (takes place) before the coming, which I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that.”
The speaker said that metaphysics and modern technology have diminished human spiritualism, causing a sense of nervousness in which people have lost hope, and that this effect will reach its maximum before the coming.
“All mental crises are rooted in hopelessness and despair in life,” Larijani said, “and from a society point of view, this is because the big powers of the world are pushing for a culture that has no identity and with their power give their illicit desires a legal aspect. With the help of their media, they explain away the biggest corruption.”
Many regime officials participated in this year’s conference, including military commanders, and several guests spoke of the importance of the Shiite ideology on Mahdi’s coming and the need for jihad for the final battle. The Mahdaviat conference is convened annually to prepare for the coming.
A high Iranian politician said recently that he believes the Syrian revolution could be the catalyst for sparking a worldwide conflagration that will usher in an era of Muslim domination of the world.


One wonders if we are not nearly at the end of the world. Jesus Christ has the power of judgment as He said. At the voice of the Son of Man the graves will open and the just and the unjust shall come out. Judgment on the church seems to be current as well as judgment on nations. Who will be ready when the Lord comes in the clouds of glory to receive us unto Himself forever as He said. As for Armageddon. Who knows? The Pentecostal, Charismatic, Evangelical and Fuindamental Churches have imbibed John Nelson Darby’s (Founder of Exclusive Brethren and Plymouth Brethren) heretical doctrine of 1828. Sadly, it is most unscriptural and yet we have been brain washed by it from our pulpits, book stores and preachers. It took me many years to discover this and to find the Bible truths. It is very hard to find out others are so wrong and I have to part from them in regard to a popular but non Biblical belief.
