Iran's grand ayatollahs: Earth belongs to Muslims, end is near
Many in the Islamic regime believe that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who became the Iranian supreme leader after Khomeini's death, is the chosen one to pass the flag of Islam to Imam Mahdi. In fact, statements made by close associates of Khamenei indicate that the supreme leader himself is convinced that he is the one who will trigger the coming.Mahdi, in Shiite belief, will reappear at the time of Armageddon. The holy mans in Iran have set up a center in the city of Qom specifically to track signs for the coming as they rely on centuries of hadiths from Muhammad and his descendants that have predicted signs in which the end of times will come and the last Islamic Messiah will reappear, killing all infidels and those who won't convert to Islam and raising the flag of Islam across the globe. The coming of Mahdi only awaits these last signs, as all of the signs that the hadiths herald have already taken place: Chaos, famine and havoc will engulf the Earth; major wars with dark clouds (atomic wars) will burn the Earth; one-third of the Earth's population will be killed, and the rest will suffer hunger and lawlessness. As revealed last year, an Iranian secret documentary, "The Coming Is Upon Us," clearly indicates that the bully boyz ruling Iran believe that worldwide war and the destruction of Israel will trigger the coming of the last Islamic Messiah.
