There Will Be False Christs

The President of Iran spoke again at the United Nations and invoked the return of the 12th Imam.

Remember that Shiite eschatology says that Jesus will return as a sidekick with the 12th Imam.  So as you read his comments, take note that he is not invoking Jesus to return as the King...but instead invokes the 12th Imam....and Jesus will come with him...as a sidekick....kind of like Batman and Robin...with Jesus being Robin.

Of course there are VERY FEW Christians who are awake enough to understand what he is saying.  And no doubt, many will read his speech and say, "Oh...isn't that nice!  He wants Jesus to come back just like we do!"

Notice how misleading even the headline of Al Arabiya News is;

Ahmadinejad hails imminent arrival of ‘Ultimate Savior, Jesus Christ’

Loathed in the West and weakened at home, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrapped up his annual address to the U.N. General Assembly on a theological note Wednesday, hailing the imminent arrival of an “Ultimate Savior.”

“God Almighty has promised us a man of kindness,” the Iranian leader told world leaders and senior officials gathered in New York, at what was expected to be his last speech to the assembly as president of Iran.

Ahmadinejad said the savior is “a man who loves people and loves absolute justice, a man who is a perfect human being and is named Imam al-Mahdi, a man who will come in the company of Jesus Christ and the righteous.”

As a Shiite Muslim, Ahmadinejad reveres Islam’s twelfth imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, who disappeared from the earth in the 10th century and is said to be due to return, accompanied by Jesus, to save mankind.

The date of his return is not known, but Ahmadinejad indicated that he felt the arrival would come quickly, telling delegates: “Now we can sense the sweet scent and the soulful breeze of the spring, a spring that has just begun.”

Some critics of Iran’s Islamic regime have expressed concern that messianic Shiite beliefs might drive leaders like Ahmadinejad to seek an apocalyptic confrontation with those he sees as foes of God’s will on Earth.

Remember, the Bible tells us that the beast and the false prophet will accompany the Antichrist when he comes.

 

Is it possible that this 'Jesus' of whom Muslims speak will actually be the false prophet who accompanies the Antichrist?  If so, that would make the 12th Imam a candidate to be the Antichrist.

 

Of course we don't know this....it's just another interesting development to watch.

 

Let's also remember to pray that the Lord will give us discernment during these days of evil and lies in which we find ourselves.
