An Iranian video recently released with the full blessing of the Iranian regime is currently causing much excitement across the Middle East.
The video declares the time for the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the Mahdi is almost upon us.
However, for those of us who hold fast to the one true and only word of God, the Holy Scriptures, the interpretation of that event is viewed in a completely different light.
Fundamentalist Born Again Christians see the arrival of the arrival of the Islamic Messiah, or the Mahdi, as being the arrival of the one the word of God calls the Antichrist, and that those two are actually one in the same individual.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
