Christians Must Heed
Jesus
... They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning
hooks.... (Isaiah 2:4; Micah, 4:3)
There will therefore be no more bloodshed and no more wars in
the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh). The corruption of
the antichrist will have come to an end. Peace will come to the nations
of the world. Nobody will seek war in that time; that is because the
main reasons for war - superstitious ideas, the Darwinist-materialist
mindset and the self-interest, selfishness and soullessness that this
mindset brings with it - will have disappeared.
The radical faith and ideologies that turn people away from true
devotion, and thus the mindset underlying violence and lovelessness,
will also disappear. The Golden Age that will take place with the ap-
pearance of Jesus and the Mahdi will be the happiest, most comfortable,
most peaceful and most plentiful period ever. The Mahdi is alive and
Jesus has descended. We now await the appearance of these two
blessed personages. Both are currently engaged in an intellectual strug-
gle against the corruption of the antichrist secretly or openly. When
they appear we will be heading directly toward peace and comfort. Be-
fore that, however, we are told of a time when corruption and war af-
flict the whole world. The time we are living in is the time of corruption
and conflict preceeding the appearance of the Mahdi and Jesus.
Some Evangelicals believe that a war known as Armageddon will
take place in the future in the Middle East, and specifically in
Mesopotamia. Their worst error lies in the fact that Armageddon has
long since broken out in the Middle East, and is still continuing.
The sinister objectives behind the
scenarios of Armageddon
Some Christians claim that blood reaching as high as horses' hal-
ters will be shed during Armageddon, which is reported in the Gospel
