When you're dealing with Iran currently, they don't care if they get blown up. Not at all. They do not care one bit. And this is the thing that honestly sent a chill down my spine.
If you start studying Islamic eschatology, don't I don't recommend you spending any time on this, by the way. If no, the Mahdi is unbelievable. That's where you're going. That's where I'm going. Okay.
So, in Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi will emerge as a charismatic messianic world leader during global chaos. He will take control of the world and destroy everyone who resists him. He will invade many nations. He will rule and reign for 7 years. He will broker a 7-year peace treaty with the Jews. He will conquer Israel and massacre the Jews. He will establish an Islamic one world government headquartered in Jerusalem. He will establish Islam as the only acceptable religion. He will come, Bro, this is insane. He will come on a white horse with supernatural power doing signs and wonders. He will be assisted by a powerful prophet.
So, we know, you and me know, the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 is the Antichrist. They use that verse to describe their end times messianic Mahdi. Honestly, man, they also believe Jesus is going to come back too. The prophet that they believe will assist the Mahdi. They believe that's Isa. The Islamic view of Jesus is what the New Testament calls another Christ, a false Christ.
I'll do one more. If you view Ezekiel 38 as an eschatological prophecy, I do. I do. It says that all these nations are going to unite against Israel and come to attack Israel. That that will be the moment that Christ, the true Jesus returns and like you said, he just lays waste to the enemies of God.
The modern-day geographic correspondence to all of those nations are as follows. Gog and Magog that could be part of Russia or Central Asia. Meshech and Tubal that's in Turkey. Persia, that's Iran. Cush is Sudan. Put is modern-day Libya or broader northern Africa. Gomer is Turkey. Beth Togarmah, that's also Turkey. With the exception of parts of Russia, every single one of those nations today is a dominantly Islamic nation. I don't know how to read this stuff and not go, "Hey, man, Islam might be the strong delusion that ushers in these end times things."
Everything you've just said is absolutely accurate. The other thing is there's two major groups of Muslim, the Shiites and the Sunnis. The Shiites, their version of the Mahdi is there has to be chaos and war to usher in the Mahdi. When you're dealing with Iran currently, you're going to find out if this regime stays in power. They don't care if they get blown up. Not at all. They do not care one bit. So, the leaders of Iran don't. They want to do whatever it takes to get the Mahdi to come. That's it. Honestly, the ones that have been in power want global war to trigger Islamic eschatological events. Yes. Yeah.
You keep going. I do believe that this one world religion that will be in existence in the tribulation will have a very strong Muslim influence to it. Okay.
