‘The Coming is Near’: New Eerie Iran Propaganda Vid Trumpets Imminent Return of 12th Imam
“New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi–or Islamic messiah–is about to appear.”
So begins an ominous report by CBN’s Erick Stakelbeck detailing a propaganda video reportedly “approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government.” That video explains “all the signs are moving into place — and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times.”
Regular Beck viewers may know the Mahdi by another name, the twelfth imam — a term not lost to Stakelbeck, who writes thattThe new video “describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical twelfth Imam or Mahdi — the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days.”
Stakelbeck reports, and includes excerpts from the video called “The Coming is Near:”
Joel C. Rosenberg, interviewed in the CBN piece, has been a guest writer on The Blaze. As part of our series “Understanding Egypt,” he wrote:
The leaders in Tehran could not be more excited by the revolution now underway in Egypt and are praying the Mubarak regime collapses and the Muslim Brotherhood come to power. For them, such events would be dramatic new evidence that the End of Days has come, infidel Arab regimes are on the road to collapse, Western influence in the Mideast is declining, Israel is one step closer to being annihilated, and the Twelfth Imam is one step closer to arriving and establishing the worldwide Islamic kingdom known as the “caliphate.”
Back in February, Beck devoted part of his TV program to the idea of the twelfth imam:
Beck’s documentary, “Rumors of War,” also details the scary beliefs of the “twelvers:”

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:36pmI think since I will rely on Christ. I don’t have to pay any attention to them one way or the other. For the ones who mock Christians so be it for you, but remember once Christ returns you won’t be able to change your mind, then it’s to late. If I were you before you write us off at least read the scriptures for your self starting with St John’s Gospel do not listen to what others say look for yourself before you make such an important decision. It does mean eternity you know that is a long time.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:35pmWhether you believe in God or not, bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes…and messianic prophecy has already proven that the rest well eventually come to pass too. Maybe you mockers should do some research on that.
What I see happening is the coming together of the enemies of Israel. Like in psalm 83, the Arab (islamic) nations will make war with Israel and be brutally defeated. That will further turn the world against Israel, and it will also lead to the peace treaty between Israel and the anti-christ.
As a believer in the rapture, I don’t know whether christians will see this war or not. However, no one can avoid what’s coming. It’s a part of God’s plan for the Ages, and Thank God it’s almost over!

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:27pmWould everyone (liberals and conservatives) please stop making fun of God. If you don’t believe in him, that’s your free will. But there is NO REASON to make fun of him, especially the liberals on here who always talk about being so open minded.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:26pmAt risk of sounding intolerant let’s keep in mind that the prophet Muhammad was born 571 AD. Prior to his cave born revelations he was exposed to heretical Jews and Christians. Can it be, like so many false prophets, Muhammad thought that by claiming the backing of Divine Providence he could exact the most control over his people? This does not mean that we shouldn’t take the fanaticism these folks seriously but he probably had access to the book of Revelations along with the rest of scriptures as he was developing his Quran. As my teachings tell me Muhammad is a false prophet. The problem is I’m not the one trying to bathe the world in blood and destroy Israel…

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 4:27pmMuhammad actualy did a good thing by uniting his people under 1 god as opposed to the dozens they were worshipping before he caved out. Muslims hadn’t really been to hateful toward Protestant Christians until Israel was re-born. Their beef was with the Catholics whom the muslims concidered idolotors and killers ( and they were ) The Muslims actualy helped some Protestant nations in their fight to free themselves from the grip of Rome. Doesn’t make their religion legit, but THERE, I said something nice about Muslims.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:22pmPolish-Sensation: The point is Iran doesn’t care if they get vaporized. They are going to try and blow up our friend, Israel and then they are coming for us. China and Russia are on the side of Iran. Can’t you see what is happening? It has all been foretold and it is all coming to be. In the end, God wins. Don’t you want to be on the side of God? Those on the sidelines, lose too.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 4:23pmWhen will you guys get it through your heads that Israel and Jewish propaganda are to blame for this Christian vs. Islam crap. Read the Jewish bible, aka “The Babylonian Talmud”. In this book it states that it hopes Jesus Christ is boiling in a caldron of Seaman, it refers to Mary as a Whore, it states that the reason for non-Jewish people (gentiles) to live is to serve the Jew, it states that if a Jew needs an organ he can kill a gentile and use his organ, it tells Jewish females to have affairs and sex with gentiles if it can benefit Judaism, it wants all gentiles to pay taxes and work hard labor while Jews write the laws, collect taxes and govern us gentiles, it states that we gentiles are in all reality more closely related to animals then to humans. I can list another 100 examples, this is from there official bible which is not the old testament (torah) it is from the Babylonian Talmud.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:18pmPeople, leave IRAN and the Muslims alone, they’re not the ones bombing the shiit out of three Christian countires. If Iran gets a couple of Nukes who cares, they know that if they use one they will get vapourized. Pakistan has had nukes for a minute now, they’re a Muslim country and they haven’t used them. Don’t listen to this propaganda to get us into WW3, the elites want this to go down SO THEY CAN CONTROL THE POPULATION HAHA

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:57pmWhoa…..
Your logic would make sense only if you were speaking of a group of people who value life. Muslims, especially Islamic Extremists don’t’ value life. They want to die a martyr! They want the virgins and all the trimmings. They embrace death.
You speak of nuclear weapons as if it was still the US vs the USSR. MAD (Mutually Assured Disruption) only can work when BOTH sides don’t want to die. The muslims don’t care.
If iran gets a nuke, we will all know it because Israel will be attacked with it. I pray to God iran never gets their hands on such a weapon.
Your logic is especially scary because WHEN you are wrong, millions upon millions of people will be vaporized. Your idealistic logic can play with point making here in a public forum, but when the rubber hits the road, your idealist vision will go to **** in a hurry. They will push that launch button so fast your head will spin – I promise you that. The only reason we haven’t seen a nuke used over there is that they don’t have one yet.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:13pmGlenn has been warning about this for years. I am nervous, but I trust in God. I also know that God will protect Israel. Iran is trying to build a world caliphate. Bad times are ahead for us all. Get some food & water stocked up and PRAY! We cannot charge what will be, but we can be prepare. Prepare to take care of your families and prepare your souls by repenting of your sins and ask our Lord to forgive you all of your sins.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:05pmAmen Jez, you are correct. The 5 foolish virgins represent rapture believing Christians. And the unwise servent who hid the coin in another parable, was likewise a rapture ready Christian. As was the Husbandman who slaughtered his entire household believing that his Lord had delayed his coming. I wish we could launch out of here alive and well, but the Bible says we won’t unless we survive Tribulation.
