Iran and Their Belief that the Mahdi is Soon Coming

Iran hoisted a red flag over an important mosque yesterday.  The red flag symbolizes their desire to avenge the death of Soleimani but also announces their belief that the Mahdi will soon come and turn the world into an Islamic caliphate.

The grandson of Muhammad, Hussein was decapitated in A.D. 680 during the Second Islamic Civil War, when Muslims were fighting over who was the proper successor to their prophet. The act was met with bloody retaliation from Muslims who considered Hussein's death unjust and sought to avenge him.

Obviously the Iranians are viewing this as something much bigger than simply extracting sufficient revenge for the death of a deeply loved national leader.

Rather, they seem to be using this moment as a call to wage jihad against all of the enemies of Shia Islam.

And as I mentioned above, the fact that this flag was raised over this particular mosque is a very big deal.

The Jamarkaran Mosque is considered to be one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam, and it is also associated with the future reappearance of the Mahdi.  In fact, as the flag was being hoisted there was a direct reference to the Mahdi...

As the flag was raised in Qom, the mosque speakers called, 'O Allah, hasten your custodian reappearance,' a reference to the end-times reappearance of the Mahdi.

In Iran today, most of the national leaders believe that the 12th imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, was born in Iraq in 869 and never died.  Just before judgement day, the Mahdi is supposed to reappear along with Jesus during a time of war and chaos "to bring peace to the world and establish Islam as the ruling faith across the globe".  

It is also commonly believed that the Mahdi is coming very soon, and so that explains why so many top Iranians seem to relish the thought that war could be coming.  They need war to come first in order for the Mahdi to appear, and since the Mahdi is supposed to return during the coming apocalyptic war and establish Shia Islam as the faith of the entire planet, they aren't exactly too concerned about the threats that President Trump is making.

Please remember that while the leaders of Iran may believe this crap, the people or Iran aren't necessarily on board.  Many of them are tickled pink that Trump whacked their terrorist general. Also thousands upon thousands of Iranians have rejected Islam and have embraced Jesus Christ as their savior.

Do even though the MSM and their Democrat supporters are screaming about Trump and Iran, know that God is working His mighty hand on the Persians as we speak.
