Dear friends:
The nations of the world and the mainstream media are fawning all over the UN visit of Iran delusional President Mahmood Ahmadinejad but the media are not reporting all he said in his speech. Note the final comments of his speech below and his closing prayer:

______________________

End of address by Iran President Mahmood Ahmadinejad before the United Nations, September 17, 2006.

"From the beginning of time, humanity has longed for the day when justice, peace, equality and compassion envelop the world. All of us can contribute to the establishment of such a world. When that day comes, the ultimate promise of all Divine religions will be fulfilled with the emergence of a perfect human being who is heir to all prophets and pious men. He will lead the world to justice and absolute peace.

"0 mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergen ce of your last repository, the promised one, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace. 0 Lord, include us among his companions, followers and those who serve his cause."

He ain't talking about my Jesus! Ahmadinejad is referring to Islamic Mahdi, the 12th Imam. Shiites hold that the Mahdi is Muhammad ibn Hasan, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad born in the 9th century and the 12th and final Shiite Imam. As a devout Shiite, Ahmadinejad believes that the 12th Imam was hidden away in a well by Allah at a young age and will someday emerge to bring justice and peace by establishing Islam throughout the world. After taking office Ahmadinejad allocated $20 million for the expansion of the Jamkaran mosque, a religious pilgrimage site where Shiites can drop messages to the "Hidden Imam" in a holy well.

Ahmadinejad ardently believes in the imminent return of 12th Imam, which he anticipates will happen in the next two years. He believes he has a personal, divine role in ushering in the return of the Mahdi and is preparing Iran for Judgment Day. That role in which he sees himself is that of beginning an Armageddon and final war and which includes destroying Israel and all Jews and from which the Mahdi will emerge. His public words clearly confirm his intention to destroy.

Some Islamic scholars believe that when their messianic figure, the Mahdi, comes, he will locate the ark of the covenant. According to a leading Islamic authority, "The coming of the Mahdi is established doctrine for bo th Sunni and Shi'a Muslims, and indeed for all humanity." One Islamic source states that the discovery of the ark will help the Mahdi win converts from both Christianity and Judaism prior to "eradicating" the remainder who do not convert to Islam, a part their plan of world conquest. This Mahdi may be the antichrist of the Bible, or connected with him. If so, that explains the "eradication" attempt probably during the Great Tribulation prophesied in the Bible to occur at the end of the age.

Things seem to be heating up very, very rapidly.
