MAHDI ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST MAY BE ON HIS WAY!
The new Iranian President is a “died in the wool” religious Islamic fanatic from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. The Apostle Paul was a “Hebrew of the Hebrews,” and President Ahmadinjad is truly a “Shiite of the Shiites.” He is locked in combat with the old conservative heads.
They have run Iran since the revolution that overthrew the Shah of Iran. He is trying to slip new leaders and departments into his new government. He is trying to get younger key members of the extremists from his Revolutionary Guard into top positions of power, putting out the old leaders who have held power for so long over all governmental decisions. It appears he has another revolution in mind, one in which he
has absolute power to form a very radical Islamic Republic
to replace the current conservative one. I truly believe the religious extremism in the fanatical Shiite beliefs among their literal interpreters is going to unveil the antichrist among them. Both the Sunni and Shiite sects of the Muslim faith believe in a coming Al-Mahdi, which we would relate to by our looking forward to the return of our Messiah Jesus Christ. The Shiites believe he has been hiding in a cave for some 1,100 years, but will soon come out to rule all Islam as the 12th Imam. Many Imams across Iran and Iraq are preaching his coming is very soon, and a fever for his arrival is growing. I do not believe the President of Iran is the one known as Antichrist, but I know he believes the 12th Imam is coming soon.
The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a Shiite religious literalist, who believes in the imminent return of the 12th Imam. His segment of the Shiite faith believes the 12th Imam went into hiding in the 9th century. The Sunni sect of Islam believes the Al-Mahdi, who is to arise and lead Islam to rule the world and establish a one-world Islamic religion, will be an ordinary man, born to an ordinary woman, and will live an ordinary life with the people of his time. But the Shiites under the same persuasion of their current President, believe that soon the 12th Imam, who disappeared mysteriously in the 9th century, will suddenly appear to lead the Shiites to victory over all enemies starting with the hypocrite mullahs and ending with the Jews. In the Shiite theology, belief in Imams is the cornerstone of their faith. They believe the 12th Imam has been living in a cave for more than ten centuries, and that he will suddenly surface from his hiding place as the Mahdi, their Messiah, and will meet Jesus, the Son of Mary.
They believe Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, will be second in command in that he will pray behind Al-Mahdi. They believe Allah will give Al-Mahdi the ability to rule all the Muslim nations with righteousness in the span of a night.
In the Shiite theology of the religious followers of the current President of Iran, the 12th Imam is still the sole source of legitimate power on the earth. I suspect a man will suddenly arise in Islam claiming to be the 12th Imam. He will declare himself to have returned with the power of Allah but in reality, he will be the antichrist.
Islamic writers indicate the signs in the next paragraph will precede the 12th Imam.
There are many signs that will precede him, a very important sign is that he will come at a time when there is great confutation, intense disputing, and violent deaths – when people are experiencing great fear. Calamities will fall upon people, so much that a man shall not find a shelter to shelter him self from oppression. There will be battles and conflicts before his appearance. The people will be troubled to such an extent that they will long for death. It is then that Imam will arise. The messenger of Allah said
he will be sent at a time of intense disputes and differences among people amidst widespread earthquakes.
It may well be that Paul’s man of sin, the antichrist, is the coming Islamic Al Mahdi.
The 57 Nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) met last week in Dakar. One of its greatest desires is the establishment of a great revived Islamic Caliphate.

Muslim nations seek change, new ‘Renaissance’
Islamic summit seeks democracy, dialogue with Christian world as it slams Israeli crimes, US policies.
March 15, 2008
DAKAR – A summit of Muslim nations on Friday agreed on measures to give their group greater global clout, as the head of the world’s most populous Muslim country Indonesia called for an “Islamic Renaissance”.
The summit’s final declaration attacked the United States, which has named a special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, for passing sanctions against Syria.
It also condemned “pressure” being put on Iran over its nuclear programme, but “strongly condemned” the Taliban militia and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
The OIC summit adopted a new charter allowing faster decision making and creating new institutions for the 57-nation body.
OIC secretary general Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said the Dakar summit had been “historic” because of the unanimous adoption of the new charter, replacing a 1972 version that he insisted was outdated.
The new constitution streamlines the OIC’s operations, allowing new countries to join with just a majority vote instead of the usual unanimous agreement for which decisions are normally taken.
Agreement was reached after several days of intense talks and despite the absence of several prominent leaders — including Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, Libya’s Moamer Gathafi and Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf.
The OIC leaders strongly warned about Islamophobia in the West, complaining that Muslims were often unjustifiably treated as terrorists.
Many leaders called for stronger action by the OIC and western governments to stop “insults” such as cartoons published in Denmark which lampooned the Prophet Mohammed and the looming release of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch far-right MP.
In a speech to the summit, Indonesia’s President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called for a jihad of peace, including greater democracy and efforts to empower Muslims to restore the religion’s pro-enlightenment and pro-science origin.
“The possibility of an Islamic Renaissance lies before us,” Yudhoyono told the summit, but first, he added: “We need to get our act together as an organisation of Muslim nations.
“When the Islamic Renaissance comes it will be the natural fruit of a peaceful and constructive ‘jihad’.”
Yudhoyono said the OIC was “unique” because it covers three continents and “Muslim countries supply 70 percent of the world’s energy requirements and 40 percent of its raw material exports.”
But he said “protracted conflicts in Muslim societies bring shame” to the Muslim world and meant that “Islam has unjustly been associated with violence.”
“We must disabuse the world of this terrible misconception,” he said, calling for greater efforts against ‘Islamaphobia’ in the West but also greater democracy in Muslim nations.
“We must strive for good governance and attend to our democratic deficit.”
Indonesia, with more than 230 million people, is the world’s most populous Muslim nation and its third biggest democracy.
“History tells us that Muslims in the past contributed immensely to the march of civilization through groundbreaking achievements in the sciences, as well as in arts.” But Yudhoyono added that Islam was now “on the defensive”.
He called for efforts to “improve the plight of the Muslim peoples,” adding that this meant “extensive economic cooperation among ourselves … pooling of resources and plugging of the development gaps all over the Muslim world.”
Yudhoyono said there should be investment schemes and “Islamic free trade areas”.
The summit’s final declaration “condemned” the United States over its sanctions against Syria last year which the leaders called “blatant prejudice in Israel’s favour”.
The declaration attacked the “terrorist and criminal activities” of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, specifically highlighting the growing number of suicide attacks.
“We continue to strongly condemn all forms of extremism and dogmatism which are incompatible with Islam, a religion of moderation and peaceful coexistence,” the declaration said.
Muslim leaders proposed a high-level international meeting to promote a “dialogue of civilizations” with the Christian world.
“We believe that it is important to plan along such lines a preparatory phase by organizing a major international gathering on Islamic-Christian dialogue that involves governments among other players,” it said.
In an apparent reference to the Palestinian fight against Israel, it said terrorism should be differentiated from “legitimate resistance against foreign occupation”.
Leaders of the OIC — the second largest inter-governmental bloc after the United Nations — had harsh words for Israel, condemning it for “war crimes” against Palestinian civilians.
“The conference denounces the current and increasing Israeli military campaign against the Palestinian people and the serious violation of human rights and war crimes including the killing and injuring of Palestinian civilians,” an OIC statement said.
It called Israel’s “collective punishment of civilians” a violation of international human rights law and said “the occupying forces must be held responsible for these war crimes”.
Muslim leaders acknowledged the challenge.
“We the Kings and heads of state and governments of the OIC renew our pledge to work harder to make sure Islam’s true image is better projected the world over … to combat an Islamophobia with designs to distort our religion,” their communique said.
The summit called on wealthy member states to finance a $10 billion (5 billion pound) solidarity fund aimed at fighting poverty, especially in Africa. Only $2.6 billion has been contributed so far, to the disappointment of African leaders.
“If it’s true that we belong to the same community … then we should be showing more solidarity to each other,” Guinea’s prime minister, Lansana Kouyate, told reporters.
But the summit approved a project to build a railway stretching across the continent from Senegal to Sudan.
One success on the sidelines of the summit was a peace agreement between Sudan and Chad, meant to end cross-border rebel attacks in a region that includes Sudan’s war-torn Darfur. But Chadian rebels said they would fight on regardless.
The next OIC summit will be held in Cairo in 2011.
