A recent video implies that the Iranian government views the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi, or Islamic messiah, will soon appear. CBN News obtained a video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place and that the nation of Iran believes it will soon help usher in the end times.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Entitled "The Coming Is Near," the video shows that the Iranian regime believes the current chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand.
The propaganda footage has reportedly been approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government.
"The Coming Is Near" 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.
"This video has been produced by a group called the Conductors of the Coming, in connection with the Basiji -- the Iranian paramilitary force, and in collaboration with the Iranian president's office," Reza Kahlil, a former member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards who shared the video with CBN News says.
