In response to what they see as coming fulfilment of ancient prophecies, Iran’s leaders have commissioned a feature length documentary, which is currently being shown to Iranian Revolutionary Guards Commanders.
According to Reza Kahlili, a former member of the Revolutionary Guards who later spied for the CIA, the movie will then be screened at mosques and Islamic centres in Iran and throughout the world. An extract from the video appears below for readers to judge for themselves.
Leaving aside the prophecies themselves the film itself may offer insight into how Iran’s leaders view the world and their plans in it.
Its theme is the long predicted return of a figure known as al-Mahdi.
Unbeknown to many Christians, what their preachers refer as the “end times” has a counterpart in Islam known as Qiyamah.
Many muslims believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi who was born July 29, 869, will return with Jesus Christ – or Isa as he is known to Muslims – to wage a final war against the forces of evil.
