The Events Leading up to the Appearance of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in Judaic Scriptures

According to Jewish tradition, before the appearance of Hazrat Mah-
di (pbuh) (or the Messiah, as they refer to him), there will be a huge mo-
ral collapse stemming from atheism. People's feelings of shame will dec-
line. Pride and oppression will grow. No one will have any compassion,
the devout will be reviled, and corruption and denial will spread. On the
larger scale, there will be a succession of wars and oppression. Land will
become increasingly less fertile, and the cost of living, famine and poverty
will increase.
Some of the features of this period preceding the coming of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) are described in Judaic scriptures:

1. The appearance of portents in the End Times:

"And I... am about to come and gather all nations and tongues, and
they will come and see My glory. I will set a sign among them…"
[declares the Lord.] (Isaiah, 66:18-19)

"I am the Lord... See, the former things have taken place, and new
things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to
you." (Isaiah, 42:8-9)
