#2 I suspect that is Jesus were present in the world today we wouldn't be worried about petty little tyrants like Ahmadinnerjacket or about Islam much at all.

The Mahdi sounds like the Antichrist to me.

#3 The Mahdi sounds like the Antichrist to me.

Follow the link I put in the article, it leads to an eschatological comparison of muslim and christian's respective end times, in which everyone has his role well attributed.

#4 After his appearance the Imam would remain in Mecca for some time, and then go to Medina. ...

Damn, just another heavily scripted, Mecca today Medina tomorrow Apocalypse tour. If I was a Mahdi I'd want a little free time on the way to the end times. You know, maybe a little side trip to convert the Hinjoooooooos and sample the curry.

#5 LOL, Ship!

... in which the Mahdi will overcome his archvillain in Jerusalem.

Will it be on PPV like the WWE extravaganzas?

#6 Ahmadinejad asks WWJD? Why does Allah need a Mahdi to fight some glorius battle? Why can't he do it himself without a Mahdi and troops?

#7 An another end times perspective.

Seems like I might have little time to straighten my act... but should I get rid of my Pr0n stash on that possibility?

#9 No evidence in the REAL RELIGION signs with this warm winter like that pansy the Mahdi stands a chance against real warriors like Odin and Thor Like he's not anything as sharp as Loki or strong as the Mitgard serpent. Just a whimp in the well...

#16 Their spring time by the way is the Equinox March 21, 2007 funny part is March 2007 was the last estimated report I heard about Russia's expected Uranium delivery for Bashuer. Once Bashuer goes hot its game over for a US air strike option on the Iranian nuke program.

Another interesting part I thought was the part about how the anti-christ would be hung as the begining I wonder if that was a play on ole Saddam.

I wouldn't plan or change my calalendar on it but it is always good to see into the mind of your enemy. Mein Kof was seen as a joke when it popped out too.

Also if you go to the english Iran news homepage and read the Ayatollahs recent speechs and things you gotta wonder "does it sound like a speech to rally the troops for war or for peace?" Sounds like rally the radicals together to me.

#19 "The Mahdi sounds like the Antichrist to me."

He may well be, though I am not convinced that the Jews would accept him as the "Moshiach" they are expecting.

However, the link anonymous5089 posted is worth reading and considering.

I'm inclined to believe that "Mahdi" will lead Iran and allies into the Ezekiel 38 attack on Israel, and that the destruction of the invaders will pave the way for Antichrist to deceive Israel & the nations by appearing to save them.

However, the "New Age" view is that "Moshiach", "Mahdi", "Christ" etc are the same person, such as
the "Maitreya" touted by Benjamin Creme & his "Share International":

Who is Maitreya?

He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.


In any event, do not be deceived by anyone claiming to be Moshiach, Mahdi, Christ etc.
"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." (Matthew 24:23)

#20 though I am not convinced that the Jews would accept him as the "Moshiach" they are expecting.

Nope. The Jewish Messiah must not only be a lineal descendent of King David (I googled that once, and they have a bunch of websites with geneologies to the present day -- the then crown prince having been exiled to Babylon after the destruction of the First Temple, there are now an awful lot of them!), but must establish the Messianic Age here on Earth, when God is accepted by all the world. Since the Imam Mahdi is the last descendent of the line of Muhammed, he doesn't qualify.

#21 Iff supported = ratified by Moud + State, is basically akin to a DECLARATION OF WAR [agz Israel only?]this 2007 equinox period, as per IFF THE MAHDI/IMMAM DOES NOT COME, MOUD + MULLAHS + IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM WILL LOOK BAD BEFORE THE WORLD ESPEC WORLD MUSLIMS. And iff the Shiite "Messiah" does appear, however legit by this article ITS WAR ANYWAY = WAR MUST OCCUR. The Shiite Messiah can NOT appear ERGO NO WAR.
BUY THOSE EXTRA WEAPONS, SHELTERS + GUNS, ETC BOYZ, NOT JUST THE POPCORN.

#22 As WND reported this month, in a greeting to the world's Christians for the coming new year, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he expects both Jesus and the Mahdi, to return and "wipe away oppression."

Um, when you do NOT allow Christians to practice their religion w/in your borders, that's oppression. Better watch Jesus to see what he does, nutjob.

"My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today?

I'ma bettin' the MM's REALLY don't wanna find out the answer to that one.

What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries?

Um, yeah, we're the oppressive ones? Get back to me when Christians and Joooos can worship freely in Iran, or when the Talibannies re-establish those Hindu statues in Afghanistan, or when Christians can celebrate in the Haggia Sophia, for pete's sake.

Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?" asked the Iranian leader.

I got my hunches, but again, the MM's REALLY don't wanna hear those.

"If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?"

Reminds me of the bumper sticker I saw once, which while a parody, really rings true. It probably would offend some very prudish Christians, but I wholly endorse it.

"Jesus IS coming back! And, boy is He pissed!"
