For a lot of people, this war with Iran is not just another war. Millions of Shiite Muslims all over the world are convinced that this is the war that will result in the rise of the Mahdi. In fact, most of Iran’s key leaders are eagerly watching for the appearance of the Mahdi. So why would they give up if they actually believe that the Mahdi is going to show up at any moment?
To them, that wouldn’t make any sense at all. On the other side, there are millions of Christians all over the world that believe that this war with Iran is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Of course there is a tremendous amount of debate within Christian circles about which passages of the Bible are actually being fulfilled. But if this war with Iran is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, we should expect other major events to soon follow.
According to someone that once knew Mojtaba Khamenei very well, Iran’s new supreme leader is “obsessed with the end of days”…
It comes as another source, a former study partner of Mojtaba, revealed that the new Supreme Leader is said to be ‘obsessed with the end of days’ and is ‘more dangerous’ than his father.
The man that is making this claim is an exiled Iranian official named Jaber Rajabi.
He says that Mojtaba truly believes that his destiny is to “have a special part” in ushering in the return of the Mahdi…
While studying with Mojtaba at The Qom Seminary – the most highly regarded center for Islamic scholarship in Iran – Rajabi described him as ‘obsessed with the end of days’ and that he believed ‘he himself will have a special part in hastening humanity down that path’.
According to Twelver Shia – the largest branch of Shia Islam studied by Khamenei at Qom – the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is believed to be in hiding, will return at the end of times to establish a period of global justice in which oppression is eradicated.
Islamic apocalyptic traditions describe major conflicts happening before this era, including the Malhama al-Kubra – a great battle sometimes interpreted as a confrontation with Western powers (United States and Western backed oil countries?).
If Mojtaba and other Iranian leaders are convinced that this war with the United States and Israel is actually “the Malhama al-Kubra”, why in the world would they ever give up?
From their perspective, that would be unthinkable.
It is so important to see this war from their perspective.
