In a chilling pronouncement on Monday, August 17, Ali Saeedi, the spokesman for Iran’s Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a Shi’a Muslim) called on Muslim countries to prepare for the coming of the Mahdi. The Mahdi is the prophesized savior of Islam who is believed to return at the end of time to bring a new era of peace.

Saeedi’s statement asserts that the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the direct representative of the Mahdi and that other Islamic countries should join forces under an Iranian command. He asserts, “We have to train honest forces that can stop the obstacles that may hinder the coming of the Mahdi like the United States and Israel.”

“Since the armed forces are commanded by the Supreme Leader, they are thus obeying the orders of the Awaited Mahdi.” He continues with an announcement of supremacy stating, “The [Iranian] Revolutionary Guards and the armed forces in Iran hold religious authority to prepare for the appearance of the Mahdi.”

...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a staunch follower of the Mahdi theology and has been chastised by fellow Iranians for mixing religion into the running of the government.


In a speech given last month, Ahmadinejad made an unprecedented admission that he believes the Mahdi is directing “all the affairs of the country” including its day-o-day politics.

“We must solve Iran’s internal problems as quickly as possible,” Ahmadinejad states. “Time is lacking. A movement has started for us to occupy ourselves with our global responsibilities, which are arriving with great speed.”

On July 12, the Iranian news agency ISNA published a letter written by
Chief of Staff Hassan Firouzabadi to the Shi’ite Messiah, the Hidden Imam. He asked for assistance for the regime, defended the brutality of the Basij against peaceful Iranian demonstrators, and laid blame for the disturbances on the West.

Three are the immediate consequences of Ahmadinejad’s stay in power. This man, as we know all too well, is an “enlightened” radical awaiting the coming of the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam, and the triumph of Islam via chaos and violence; Ahmadinejad sincerely believes that he is the one called to speed up this development. The first consequence is the need to acknowledge that do-gooding and having a conciliatory attitude with the regime in Tehran will only lead to failure. Obama has been wrong about extending a hand to Tehran, thinking that it would suffice to change things in Iran. The Europeans were just as wrong when they believed that radical and “enlightened” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would lose at the ballot box to the apparently more moderate Mir-Hossein Mousavi – or as wrong as those who believed that the accusations of election fraud would culminate in a recount favoring not Ahmadinejad but another candidate or repeating the presidential elections.

...

The sec4ond problem has to do with Iran’s nuclear ambition. Ahmadinejad is popular among Iranians due largely to his advocacy of the atomic program and nothing can make him think that he must give it up now. He has threatened Israel repeatedly and nothing has happened to him; he has interfered as much as he has wanted in Iraq, where Iran was actually in open warfare against American and British forces and neither Washington nor London did anything against this affront. Iran is notoriously present in Afghanistan, complicating the security of this country and threatening coalition forces due to the aid that Iran renders; yet the Persian country has not suffered any punishment for its deeds. Ahmadinejad has just won a new term in office that has provoked a blood bath; however, all that one can hear is some weak international protests and the great American willingness to enter into talks with him. Why is he going to change now? – particularly when, for the first time, one can observe important policy differences between the White House and the government in Jerusalem.

In fact, during all these days when the world’s attention was centered in the hope of achieving real change in Iran through street demonstrations, Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, and tir people have gone ahead with Iran’s nuclear program as if nothing had happened, even announcing that the Bushehr plant is now finished and ready thanks to Russian aid. According to what we know from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, the centrifuges have not halted their uranium enrichment process. If everything goes on as today, Iran will have enough enriched uranium to build its first nuclear bomb – if it chooses to do so. And Iran does want to do so.

Yeah, your right. You are wrong. When its all said and done, the curse of ALL organised religion will be removed from the face of the earth, and mankind will have a spiritual knowledge direct from within.

No longer will man need someone else to tell him what to beleive.

THANK GOD.
