The Islamic Mahdi Expectation is the Spirit of Antichrist!

Regardless of what Israel, the United States, and the vast international community of nations does to Iran, whether they blow up all its nuclear facilities or wipe it off the face of the earth, the dye is cast – the spirit of the expectation of the long awaited Mahdi is burning ever brighter in the hearts of Islam, and it will not be extinguished.
Having lived among Islamic believers, attended technical institutes with them, and trained them, I know what they believe, and have, for some 32 years, tried in desperation to warn what was coming in the Middle East that would eventually affect the entire world.
I don’t know what else I can do! The prophetic world has turned a deaf ear to my claim the Antichrist would not come out of Europe, and many of my own faith have branded me as a false prophet, revisionist, or heretic.
Forgive me – I am not saying this as part of a “pity party” for poor old Tom. I knew what would happen at age 44 when I finished writing my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” some 30 years ago. I went into this with my eyes open. I am only hopeful, that as those who disagree with it begin to watch it all unfold in the Middle East, it will be of some value to them.
The following article by Yaakov Katz in the Jerusalem Post has got it quite right as to the long-term goals of Islam.

‘Iran wants to Change World Order’
By Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 9, 2006
“Wiping Israel off the map is just one step in Iran’s attempt to create a new world order,” said Brig.-Gen Yosef Kuperwasser, head of the IDF Military Intelligence’s research division.
“Iran is interested not only in turning into a superpower, but also in changing the world order,” Kuperwasser said at a conference on power projection at the Fisher Institute of Strategic Studies in Herzliya.
“Iran is at the forefront of global terrorism, and aids Hizbullah in Lebanon, al Qaida, and Palestinian terror organizations, and is behind attacks on US armed forces in Iraq,” the general asserted.
Obtaining nuclear power, Kuperwasser said, would not only establish Iran as a superpower on a global level, but would also assist the country in establishing its domestic regime.
“Nuclear capabilities would ensure that regime returns to its former glory and revives the Islamic revolution there,” he explained, adding that there were elements in Iran who believe that the race to achieve a nuclear bomb, plus the government’s support of terror, was having an adverse effect on reviving the revolution.
“Power projection”, the subject of
the conference, addresses challenges originating from terror organizations in distant countries.
Just hours before the UNSC votes on sanctions against Iran, Maj-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad said that he believed Iran was vulnerable to sanctions.
“Iran is Not North Korea,” Gilad said. “It’s a country of intelligent, intellectual people.”
Earlier Tuesday, Gilad had told Army Radio that Israel should place itself at the forefront of the Iran conflict, as the crisis over the country’s nuclear program was “international.”
Gilad said, referring to Vice Premier Shimon Peres’ remarks Monday that “Iran can also be wiped off the map,” that any threats Israel made should be “big” but not pointed.
