Hello John and Doves,Zohran Mamdani was just elected the new mayor of NYC.Did this just increase the odds of NYC being Mystery Babylon?Mamdani won over 50% of the vote. Having a Muslim mayor will turn NYC into London. There is a lot of evil in both cities. Maybe New Yorkers just traded one type of evil (Cuomo and the old political dynasty) for a new one - even more evil than the last.Mamdani has promised free buses, government run grocery stores, rent freeze, free child care, $30 minimum wage. Appealing to the people's wants and needs.As for his Muslim beliefs, he's pro-Hamas and the global intifada/world caliphate. And he's a Shia Twelver. He believes in the 12th Imam who will lead the world caliphate. He is a deceiver, promising the people anything and everything to get into power.To fund his new utopia, he plans on raising taxes on corporations and the rich in New York City.Will we see 'the rich' and corporations leave NYC now? Then who will pay for his lofty plans?As for Mamdani's Muslim religion - he is Shia. The Shia religion believes in the 12th Imam - so he aligns with the Iranians. Shia believe the 12th Imam will come back and set up a global caliphate. He will bring justice and peace."Mamdani is part of the Khoja Twelver Shia branch of Islam.The 12th Imam has been hidden away by Allah until the day of judgment. Shiites refer to the 12th Imam as the Mahdi (messiah).This article notes 'contemporary influence' of the Shia millennial vision - "fueling protests against oppression" and "the Mahdi's occultation (hidden from view) inspires Shias to address societal shortcomings, preparing for Islamic rule.""..Christians view Jesus Christ as the Savior, while Muslims see him as the Dajjal (deceiver), and regard the Mahdi and Muslim Jesus as messianic figures opposing the biblical Christ. This suggests Islam may be Christianity's strongest adversary, embodying the "spirit of the antichrist" described in 1 John 4:1-3 which rejects Jesus as God. Islam's denial of Christ's divinity aligns with this spirit, necessitating passionate rejection by Christians.""The Islamic practice of taqiyya, permitting deception to protect Muslims, raises concerns....Scripture warns of end-time deception. Islam's eschatological narrative, with a divergent Christ and gospel, may represent a satanic delusion.""In the eschatological framework of Twelver Shia Islam, the return of Muhammad al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam, is a terrifying harbinger of divine judgment, poised to reshape the world in a cataclysm of violence and subjugation. Concealed by Allah since the Major Occultation of 941 CE, the Mahdi is prophesied to reappear amidst global turmoil, accompanied by Isa (Jesus Christ), who, in Islamic theology, is demoted to a subservient prophet. Together, they will unleash a merciless crusade against the "infidels" - all who reject Islam, including Christians, Jews, atheists and secularists. Their mission, rooted in hadiths and Quranic exegesis, is to eradicate disbelief through unrelenting warfare, leaving no corner of the earth untouched by their divine wrath.""According to Sahih Muslim (Book 41, Hadith 6931), Jesus will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya, signaling the end of any leniency for non-Muslims. The Mahdi, wielding a sword of divine retribution, will lead this slaughter, purging humanity of those who refuse submission to Allah (Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Book 33, Hadith 2999) Their triumph will establish Jerusalem as the epicenter of a global Islamic caliphate, from which Shariah law will govern with an iron fist, enforcing a theocratic order that crushes all opposition and reshapes civilization into a dystopian nightmare.""This apocalyptic vision is not a distant theological abstraction but a rallying cry for jihadist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, who actively work to hasten the Mahdi's return through strategies as cunning as they are horrifying...Their approach is a chilling blend of patience and subversion, exploiting the demographic vulnerabilities of Western nations....Al-Qaeda encourages Muslim communities to pursue high fertility rates, rapidly expanding their populations. Concurrently, they promote mass immigration to these nations, embedding operatives and sympathizers within societies that naively champion multiculturalism.""This "stealth jihad" aims to swell Muslim demographics until they form a dominant voting bloc, capable of electing Islamist candidates who will dismantle secular governance form within. Once in power, these leaders will impose Sharia-compliant laws, criminalize criticism of Islam and establish parallel legal systems....""The Quran's mandate to "fight those who do not believe in Allah (Surah 9:29) drives this demographic conquest, with Al-Qaeda operatives blending seamlessly into communities, biding their time until their numbers ensure political dominance....Muslims could constitute significant minorities - or even majorities - in key Western nations, poised to rewrite constitutions and erase centuries of democratic tradition in favor of the Mahdi's impending rule.""Far more terrifying is the apocalyptic fanaticism of ISIS, whose hyper-violent ideology seeks to ignite a global war to force the Mahdi's return. Drawing from hadith's prophesying a "great war" (al-Malhama al-Kubra) where Muslims confront the Dajjal - equated with Western powers and Christians (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 36 Hadith 4081) - ISIS believes that sparking World War III will create the chaos necessary for the Mahdi and Jesus to descend. Their strategy is to provoke the West into an all-consuming conflict through atrocities that shock the conscience: beheadings broadcast on social media, bombings in crowded markets and mass executions of captives....to inflame global tensions, goading NATO into retaliatory strikes that ISIS hopes will escalate into Armageddon."They call for "lone-wolf attacks to sow chaos, envisioning a world where nuclear arsenals, cyberattacks, and biological weapons plunge humanity into a dark age, ripe for the Mahdi's conquest.""The endgame is a vision of unmitigated horror. Jerusalem...would become a fortress of Islamic supremacy, its streets stained with the blood of executed dissenters. Shariah law..would impose barbaric punishment: public beheadings for apostasy, amputations for theft, and stoning for adultery. Non-Muslims would face a grim ultimatum: convert to Islam, live as humiliated dhimmis under a crushing jizya tax, or perish by the sword....secular Muslims and Christians would be hunted to extinction.""The Mahdi's global caliphate would brook no resistance, using advanced surveillance to enforce compliance, transforming technology into a tool of oppression. Hadiths describe rivers of blood flowing as the Mahdi purges the earth, a prophecy that inspires jihadists to commit atrocities in his name. Churches and synagogues would be razed, replaced by mosques where allegiance to Allah is mandatory. Western capitals - London, Paris, Washington - would fall to jihadist uprisings, their landmarks incinerated as symbols of infidel decadence. The world, stripped of freedom, would groan under a totalitarian yoke, with no refuge from the Mahdi's merciless rule.""This eschatology's spiritual implications are even more alarming. From a biblical perspective, the Mahdi bears an eerie resemblance to the Antichrist of Revelation, a figure who deceives nations and demands worship. ( Revelation 13:7-8). The Muslim Jesus, who denies his divinity and destroys Christianity, mirrors the False Prophet, leading multitudes to perdition (Revelation 19:20). This inversion - where the bliblical Christ is vilified as the Dajjal and the ANtichrist is exaslted as savior - suggests a satanic counterfeit designed to ensnare billions. Scripture warns of such deception.""Jihadists, driven by this theology, are unwitting pawns in a cosmic rebellion against God, advancing a demonic agenda to supplant Christ's kingdom with a lie." The Quran claims that Allah is the "best of deceivers" (Surah 3:54)"Christians must awaken to this peril. The Bible commands vigilance....The Mahdi's eschatology, with its promise of conquest and oppression, stands in direct opposition to Christ's gospel of redemption. As Al-Qaeda and ISIS advance their diabolical plans, believers must expose this deception, the stakes are eternal, and the time to act is now, lest the world fall to the Mahdi's shadow."New York City has fallen. The march to a global caliphate continues across the West. New Yorkers have been deceived - falling for the 'free' everything - and Islam will fix all your problems.Again, I pose the possibility that NYC is Mystery Babylon - doomed to a massive judgment.Revelation 18:4: "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."IF Mystery Babylon is destroyed at the start of Tribulation....'come out of her, my people' could be pointing to the Rapture.I wrote a recent letter to Doves about ex-CIA specialist, Sarah Adams. She has been relentlessly, this year, warning the U.S. of Islamic sleeper cells (Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, etc.) - their attack is not a 'maybe' - it's coming! Maybe Mamdani's win will embolden them.Just some thoughts...Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!Maranatha!Chance
