State media says, ‘Shiite messiah will kill archenemy in Jerusalem, could come during spring equinox'
A triumphal religious prophecy has appeared on an Iranian official state media website, heralding the return of the Shiite messiah.
According to the website, "Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca."
The Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting (IRIB) website said in a program called 'The World Towards Illumination,' that the Mahdi will reappear in Mecca and form an army to defeat Islam's enemies in a series of apocalyptic battles, in which the Mahdi will overcome his archvillain in Jerusalem.
"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 God 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. According to the Iranian series, the Mahdi will reappear on earth with Jesus: "We read in the book Tazkarat ol-Olia, 'the Mahdi will come with Jesus son of Mary accompanying him.' …Imam Mahdi will be the leader while Prophet Jesus will act as his lieutenant in the struggle against oppression and establishment of justice in the world. Jesus had himself given the tidings of the coming of God's last messenger and will see Mohammad's ideals materialize in the time of the Mahdi."

"Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden..."
Religion makes people idiotic all of a sudden!
All I'm hearing is more "blah blah blah".
Five stories below this one, doom and gloom is predicted for 2007. Israel has predicted trouble from Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran this spring. Now, we have this story. Coincidence? I certainly hope so.
Yawn ... now they're saying it'll happen by the spring equinox; they keep moving the date back - what's up with that?
Judging from the antics of liberals, fascists, socialists, communists and other atheists in history, it does not take religion to make people indiotic.
Only semi-joking: what an opportunity to eliminate that death cult forever!
Erase the Ka'aba from earth, while thier "madhi" appears. Pity about the collateral damage, we'll just deduct it from your karmic debt.
So Jesus is supposed to be the "lieutenant" of this Mahdi guy?
Some folks are going to be very surprised.
My Muslim brothers, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the Mahdi is returning in march
....Cheers, tears, and back slapping....
The bad news is he is REALLY pissed at us.
they're not eating the right kind of shrooms and get their dates wrong- http://sacredscoop.com
Amen brotha- Modern Islam isn't a religion- it IS however a vile evil political entity that exerts strict man made rules on people through the force of the sword. Modern Islam purports to be a religion, and falsely displays itself as such but it is not- Yet, as you stated liberals, fascists, socialists, communists and other athiests, of which Modern Islam is a part, have all proven that religion is not the greatest threat to peace the world has ever known, but that ANTI-RELIGION has been the greatest threat. http://sacredscoop.com
Is the Mahdi and 12th Imam the same person?
Seriously, does this have any bearing on Iran's nuclear program? Are they going to have a nuke ready this spring?
Wasn't the Mahdi suppose to come out of his well with the fall of Constantinople in 1453?
The IMAM is no learned man of GOD's word but a false prophet for lo --
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Jhn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
I thought according to Iamjihadmad, the 12 imam was supposed to come out of some well in northern Iran.
The belief in the 12th Imam is, of course, false. Anything beyond the 7th Imam is heresy and should be punished.
