Mahdi Watch 
Mahdi Info
The Mahdi is the Islamic messiah who they believe will bring about world Islamic Dominion.  The idea of the Mahdi is just beginning to be understood in the West, but has been a staple of Islamic theology, since the time of Mohammed.  The Mahdi is driving much of the expectation within Islam and is becoming more evident even from a cursory reading of the news.  The following articles chronicle some of these news stories that are talking about the Mahdi.  Please enjoy and learn!  I have also included links to articles on Islam and links that I think are important.  Sincerely yours pastor Wenner

Web sites of interest.

End of Times Watch out for Al Mahdi!!! You are not going to believe what you are reading.  This is not a Christian site but is Islamic.    I was surprised to find the Muslims have a fully developed escatalogy and this site has much information on what they believe is going to happen.   What surprised me is that Al Mahdi sounds a lot like the Antichrist.  Check it out.  Not many Christians have covered this information.   If you don't believe that this belief is what is driving the Middle east today then just do a google search of "Mahdi".

Check out this website for some very interesting stuff on Mahdi and comparing it to what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ.

               Books on the Mahdi  and Prophecy.
 

LivingstonCheck out Robert Livingstons excellent book on how Islam could be the final beast.  A very through provoking read.   By the way both Luther and Calvin saw Islam as a final player in end time events, so I do not believe that Livingston may be far off.   Description: Livingston’s study of Islam and end-time Bible prophecies unite and unavoidably lead to an Islamic connection with the book of Revelation. He uncovers powerful evidence weaving together the path of Islam, America, Israel, and the Church during the last days. Are we entering into the final clash of kingdoms? This book poses new challenges for God’s people concerning their priorities in everyday life and in the near future. The author encourages the reader to live for the kingdom of God and prepare for potential trials that may lie ahead.  Listen to Robert Livingston talk about some of the elements of his book

911to666From 9/11 to 666  is a book written by Ralph Stice that deals with the topic of Islam and eschatology.  It is very compatible with Robert Livingston's book.  He talks about the nature of Bible prophecy and the nature of Islamic prophecy.  He has an extensive section on the coming of the Mahdi and the Islamic believe about the second coming of Christ.  I highly recommend this book to those who want to read and learn more about Islam and prophecy. 

Hear from a former journalist and veteran cross-cultural worker in Islamic communities as he explores:

Why has God allowed the rise of Islamic fundamentalism?
What did the Iraqi invasion have to do with biblical and Islamic prophecy?
What does the price of oil have to do with the End Times?
What are Muslims really like.

Islam's  Terrorism  Info
There is a growing awareness in the Islamic world that there needs to be a union of all Islamic nations under one banner.  Islam historically was ruled by Caliph's who ruled a vast empire.  This empire came to an end in 1919 at the end of World War 1.  The radicals in Islam want to restore the caliphate that once ruled all of the Middle East.  We in the West need to be aware of what is happening in our world, ignorance is not bliss.  Just as ignorance of Adolf Hitler was not bliss either. I have included links that I have found on the Internet to news stories that deal with the rise of radical Islam and their desire to restore the caliphate.

This article is a must read Mark Steyn is one of my favorite authors.

The future belongs to Islam

The Muslim world has youth, numbers and global ambitions. The West is growing old and enfeebled, and lacks the will to rebuff those who would supplant it. It's the end of the world as we've known it. An excerpt from 'America Alone'.
