Understanding Iran

Iran is moving along with its nuclear bomb program, its president keeps saying that America and Israel will be wiped out, but why are they saying this crap? Maybe because they believe that the 12th Imam is coming soon to kill all infidels and rule the world.

Official Iranian radio has completed broadcasting a lengthy series on the imminent appearance of a messianic figure who will defeat Islam's enemies and impose Islamic Shiite rule over the entire world – even speculating on specific dates the so-called "Mahdi" will be revealed.

English-language transcripts of "The World Toward Illumination" programs can be found on the website of IRIB, a public broadcast arm of Tehran.

"Be joyous my heart, miracles of the Messiah will soon be here," reads a poem used to conclude the first broadcast. "The scent of breaths of the One we know comes from near. Grieve not of sorrow and melancholy, as assured I was … last night that a Savior will come, it's clear."

After the coming of the 12th imam, or Mahdi, "liberal democratic civilization" will be found only in "history museums," explained the program.

This could explain Iran's craziness and aggressive position. Christians also believe that the Messiah (Jesus) is coming again to establish his kingdom here on earth, but we are also not trying to help him along, he will come in his own time, that IS a big difference. Maybe understanding their delusions can help us understand where they are coming from, and that may help advert a war with Iran. I pray we don't have to war with Iran, but if we do, then let it be fast and furious and end quickly, with them doing the dying and us feeling bad about it.
