The Time of Prophet Jesus’
                                  (pbuh) Second Coming








                             1371, and informs us that the Mahdi will launch his ef-
                             forts 30-40 years after this date. This date is the period
                           between Hijri 1401-11 (Gregorian calendar: 1980-90).

                              In the latter part of his speech, Bediuzzaman said that
                           the Mahdi will silence the ideology of disbelief via the
                           benefits of science and civilization. The date of this ideo-
                           logical superiority will be half a century later: Hijri 1421.
                           (Gregorian calendar: 2001)
                              "Maybe not now (1371), but 30-40 years later…"

                                By God's Will, he will demolish them after half a
                               century.
                                      1371 + 50 = 1421 (Gregorian calendar: 2001)
                                     Bediuzzaman calls attention to Hijri 1400 as
                               the beginning of Mahdi's ideological struggle against
                            disbelieving philosophies. He further points out that
                             between the years 1401-11 (1981-91), he will unite the
                            benefits of science, skills, and the goodness of civiliza-
                            tion to be used in his struggle, and discloses Hijri 1421

                              (Gregorian calendar: 2001) as the date when the
                              Mahdi will ideologically destroy the disbelieving
                            philosophies.
                              Another of his explanations related to the End Times
                             is as follows:
                              "In [13]71, the Sun began to rise or will rise. Even if this is
                              only the initial redness in the horizon, in 30-40 years the
                              second enlightenment will appear."("The Damascus
                              Sermon," p. 23)
                              1371 + 30 = 1401 = 1981
                              1371 + 40 = 1411 = 1991
