Iran: Mahdi will defeat archenemy in Jerusalem
State media says, ‘Shiite messiah will kill archenemy in Jerusalem, could
come during spring equinox'

A triumphal religious prophecy has appeared on an Iranian official state media
website, heralding the return of the Shiite messiah.
According to the
website, "Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear
all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his
reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca."
The Islamic Republic of
Iran broadcasting (IRIB) website said in a program called 'The World Towards
Illumination,' that the Mahdi will reappear in Mecca and form an army to defeat
Islam's enemies in a series of apocalyptic battles, in which the Mahdi will
overcome his archvillain in Jerusalem.
The series has been regularly updated throughout November and December.
"The Mahdi's far sightedness and firmness in the face of mischievous elements
will strike awe. After his uprising from Mecca all of Arabia will be submit
to him and then other parts of the world as he marches upon Iraq and established
his seat of global government in the city of Kufa.
“Then the Imam will send 10 thousand of his forces to the east and west to uproot
the oppressors. At this time God will facilitate things for him and lands will
come under his control one after the other," the website declared.
"After his appearance the Imam would remain in Mecca for some time, and
then go to Medina... a descendant of the Prophet's archenemy Abu Sofyan will
seize Syria and attack Iraq and the Hejaz with the ferocity of a beast… finally
Imam Mahdi sends troops who kill the Sofyani in Beit ol-Moqaddas (Jerusalem),
the Islamic holy city in Palestine that is currently under occupation of the
Zionists," the IRIB added.
'Jesus will be Mahdi's lieutenant' (NOTE: THE KING OF KINGS AIN’T GONNA
BE NOBODY’S LIEUTENANT!)
According to the Iranian series, the Mahdi will reappear on earth with Jesus:
"We read in the book Tazkarat ol-Olia, 'the Mahdi will come with Jesus
son of Mary accompanying him.' …Imam Mahdi will be the leader while Prophet
Jesus will act as his lieutenant in the struggle against oppression and establishment
of justice in the world. Jesus had himself given the tidings of the coming of
God's last messenger and will see Mohammad's ideals materialize in the time
of the Mahdi."
"The seat of the Mahdi's global government will be the city of Kufa , where
his headquarters will be the Sahla Mosque… From here he will dominate the east
and the west to fill the earth with justice," the special series predicted.
The website added that prayers for the Mahdi's return were said daily in Iran:
"In our time, many pray for his appearance and each day they renew their
allegiance to him. 'O God, make me one of his companions, show me his respected
and bright visage, and hasten his reappearance.'"
'Mahdi to come during spring equinox?'
The IRIB website is filled with details of the Mahdi's return, including descriptions
of physical attributes of "the perfect human being."
"He will appear as a handsome young man, clad in neat clothes and exuding
the fragrance of paradise… He has a radiant forehead, black piercing eyes and
a broad chest. He very much resembles his ancestor Prophet Mohammad (SAWA).
“Heavenly light and justice accompany him. He will overcome enemies and oppressors
with the help of God, and as per the promise of the Almighty the Mahdi will
eradicate all corruption and injustice from the face of the earth and establish
the global government of peace, justice and equity."
'The World Towards Illumination' series cites some Islamic sources as saying
that the Mahdi's return "may coincide with the Spring Equinox... A saying
attributed to the Prophet's 6th infallible heir, Imam Ja'far Sadeq (PBUH) says
the Mahdi will appear on the Spring Equinox and God will make him defeat Dajjal
the Impostor or the anti-Christ as the Christians say, who will be hanged near
the dump of Kufa."
