ISIS, Imam Mahdi and the Anti Christ

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Caliph and leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) fits the picture of the Sufyani that will kill the children and rip out the bellies of women.

"A man will emerge from the depths of Damascus. He will be called Sufyani. Most of those who follow him will be from the tribe of Kalb. He will kill by ripping the stomachs of women and even kill the children."

"Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, `even' he that denieth the Father and the Son."

Current events in Syria and Iraq bears the hallmark of many biblical prophesies about the apocalyptic end of the age. The ISIS atrocities and the coalition forces combating them are setting the stage for the final battle that would usher in the anti Christ and finally the Messiah.

Christian and Islamic eschatology both believe that at the end of age a messiah would come to help the world. Although the two believes appear to be similar, they are markedly different.  Whereas Christian end time prophesies bear it that at the end of the age Yeshua (Jesus Christ) would return to judge the world, separating the evil ones from the righteous, Muslims believe that their messiah, Imam Mahdi would come to bring peace in the world. 

That is where the core difference lies and where Christians should be very wary. Christians were sternly warned to beware of the deceiver, the anti Christ who would come towards the end of age to lead humanity away from God. The anti Christ would deceive virtually every one on earth because he would come as a PEACEMAKER.

The world would be deceived. For those who are vigilant and alert as Christ advised, they will be able to know who exactly he is following the following pointers provided by The Warning.

When Jesus Christ makes a come back to the earth, he come not as a man or peacemaker as he did previously, he will rather come as a Judge. Jesus will never walk the earth a second time. He will not walk in the flesh. Therefore anyone who walks the earth claiming and acting to be Christ will be the anti Christ.

How to identify the anti Christ  (The Warning.)

• Just as Christ first came from the Middle East, the anti Christ, in trying to mirror him will come from the East, and not the West.
• He will charm the world who will  love, honour and revered across the world.
• The antichrist will quickly bring about, with the help of the enemies of God, a war between two nations headed by two stubborn and powerful leaders. These wars will escalate and then will spill into other countries. When the threat becomes so serious that it begins to affect the most powerful nations, then peace negotiations will begin.
• Out of nowhere, will step the beast (anti Christ), and with a skill that will impress the world, he will bring to an end the wars. He will have a powerful voice. He will be highly intelligent and will create an impressive charismatic image. His handsome good looks, charm and sense of humour, will be like a powerful hypnotic magnet. He will draw great praise from well-known world leaders and the media, and he will become a celebrity. His demeanour will appeal to business leaders, who will see him as being instrumental in creating wealth, as the economies will begin to grow.
• So special will the antichrist appear, that nations will clamour over themselves to encourage him to visit their countries. He will be loved and will copy the last detail, every moment of My Mission, when I walked the Earth. Preaching of the importance of love, peace and the importance of unity among nations, he will be seen to create great wonders, wherever he goes. This is not a man like any other. This is not a man like any other charismatic figurehead. His star will shine and glitter, like no other before him. He will be seen as a figurehead of the one world humanitarian religion. The so-called success of this abomination will be attributed to him. Everyone will drop at his feet. Images of his face will be everywhere. He will be seen with the heads of many religious denominations. It will soon be said that people will be healed spontaneously in his presence. Through the power of Satan, he will be able to create acts, which will shock many and these will be deemed to be miraculous.
•  By then, to the ignorant, he will be seen as the Messiah. He will then hint that he has been sent by God to save the world. Many, including those in the world who do not accept My Existence, will be persuaded that this man is the Son of man, Jesus Christ. Those who honour, obey what he asks of them, and who adore him, will be infested with such evil that their souls will be sucked into a vacuum, out of which they will find it impossible to extradite themselves.

The Mahdi as the anti Christ

Muslims are strongly awaiting the coming of a man known as, “The Mahdi,” who would help them rule the world. Al-Mahdi means, “The Guided One” in in Arabic, and sometimes referred to by Shi’a Muslims as Sahib Al-Zaman or Al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar (“The Lord of the Age” and “The Guided/Awaited One”).
 John 2: 22 clearly identified who the anti Christ was: Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, `even' he that denieth the Father and the Son."

Muslims deny that Jesus is Christ. They also deny that he is the Son of God! The anti Christ must therefore come from such a religion that denies Christ and persecutes his followers. Anti Christ will bring about one world religion religion and government. Muslims are currently pursuing a global Islamisation agenda. The Islamic State is a microcosm of the one world government and religion that the anti Christ would bring across the world. People who do not believe in Islam will be beheaded as foretold by many bible prophesies. 

The Muslims believe that:

Imam Mahdi who will be a normal man will walk the earth following true Islam. His name will be Muhammad and his father name will be 'Abdullah. He will be a descendant from Ali and Fatima (daughter of the prophet Muhammad. The Mahdi will be very just and his capital will be in Damascus. The Mahdi, the Rightly Guided Khalifa will lead Muslims to a great victory against the Christians. The great war would be called al-Malhamah al-Kubrah or Armageddon. It will end up with a great victory to Muslims against Romans after six years. Muslims will take over Rome (Vatican city). In the seventh year, the Anti Christ will appear and a greater war will start between Jews and Muslims for 40 days and virtually everyone on earth will be converted to Islam. The war will end with the coming of Jesus Christ. 

However, according to Revelation 5:6; Rev 13:12,14; the man who be the anti Christ will pretend to be a peacemaker, until he is dealt a deadly wound [probably after he is identified as to what he truly is]. After his recovery ("resurrection"), he would be possessed by the spirit of Satan (anti Christ spirit) and would begin to unleash terror on the earth, especially Christians and Jews who rejects his authority.

This event secures the base of Antichrist’s power and provides a justification for the Abomination of Desolation, when Antichrist proclaims himself God in the rebuilt Temple.)

The “resurrection" of the anti Christ will solidify the perception that he is all-powerful savior - an indestructible, God-like figure, who cannot be defeated, and men will flock to him. He will possess tremendous authority and the world will marvel at his power.

How to identify the Mahdi:

Among the many signs that will precede the emergence of the Mahdi is that he will come during the time of strife, intense disputes and differences among people, and earthquakes"

"He will come at a time when there is great confutation, intense disputes and violent deaths. When people are afflicted by disturbance and experiencing great fear. Calamities will fall upon the people, so much so that a man shall not find a shelter to shelter him self from oppression. There will be battles and fitnaas (an Arabic word connoting trial, affliction, or distress) before his appearance. Every time a fitnaa has come to end, another will start, spread and intensify. The people will be troubled to such an extent that they will long for death. It is then that Imam Mahdi will be sent."

A second sign before Imam Mahdi emerges is that an inter-tribal war will take place in Mina. "In Dhul Qaidah (Islamic Month) the tribes will fight, Hajis will be looted and there will be a battle in Mina in which many people will be slain and blood will flow until it runs over the Jamaratul Aqba. Their companion (referring to Imam Mahdi) will flee to a point between the corner and the Maqaam and will be forced to accept people's allegiance." (Al-Fitan, Nuaim ibn Hammad) 

Another major sign is that River Euphrates (which flows through Syria and Iraq and finally opens in the Gulf) will disclose a mountain of gold over which people will fight and die. "The shall not occur until the Euphrates will disclose a mountain of gold, over which people will fight. 99 out of every hundred shall die, and every one of them shall say, 'perchance I shall be the one to succeed." 

Another sign is that the Sufyani (a descendant of Abu Sufyan) will emerge before the Mahdi from the depths of Damascus. The Sufyani would be a tyrant who will spread corruption and mischief on the earth before Imam Mahdi. He will be such a tyrant that he will kill the children and rip out the bellies of women. "A man will emerge from the depths of Damascus. He will be called Sufyani. Most of those who follow him will be from the tribe of Kalb. He will kill by ripping the stomachs of women and even kill the children. A man from my family will appear in the Haram, the news of his advent will reach the Sufyani and he will send to him one of his armies. He (referring to Imam Mahdi) will defeat them. They will then travel with whoever remains until they come to a desert and they will be swallowed. None will be saved except the one who had informed the others about them." 

While the Sunnis accuse Bashar al Assad as the Sufyani, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Caliph and leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) fits the picture.

There is no doubt that the long awaited Imam Mahdi is the long awaited anti Christ and events that will usher him into the world are already happening!
