QOM, Iran -- Iran's president believes Allah has chosen him to prepare the world for the coming of an Islamic 'savior' called the Mahdi.

But before the Mahdi's return, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes there must be global chaos - even if he has to create it himself.

Whether it's his belief that Israel should be wiped off the map, denials of the Holocaust, obsession with going nuclear, or support for radical Islamic terrorist groups, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a man on a divine mission.

To understand him, and that mission, you have travel to the small dusty village of Jamkaran tucked in a corner of Iran's holy city of Qom.

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, CBN News made that journey heading south out of Iran's capital, Tehran. Some 95 miles, and a couple of wrong turns later, we arrived at the Jamkaran mosque on the outskirts of Qom.

Behind the Jamkaran mosque there is a well. According to many Shiite Muslims, out of this well will emerge one day their version of an Islamic 'savior.'

They call him the Mahdi or the 12th Imam.

Ron Cantrell has written a book about the Mahdi. He explained, "The Mahdi is a personage that is expected to come on the scene, by Islam, as a messiah figure. He is slotted to come in the end of time, according to their writings, very much like how we think of the return of Jesus."

Shiite Muslims believe the Mahdi, a descendent of the Prophet Mohammed, vanished in the middle of the 9th century.

Cantrell told us, "The 12th Imam disappeared, around the age of 9, with a promise that he would return and he would bring Islam to its total fruition as the world's last standing religion."

Enter Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Since becoming the president of Iran in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has emerged as the Mahdi's most influential follower.

Cantrell said, "[Ahmadinejad] has stated that his mandate is to pave the way for the coming of this Islamic 'messiah'."

In almost all his speeches, Ahmadinejad begs Allah to hasten the return of the Mahdi. At a recent military parade attended by CBN News in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said, "Oh, Allah, please facilitate Imam Mahdi's early return and make us one of his supporters."

He said something similar last September just before ending a speech at the United Nations in New York.

Ahmadinejad said, "Oh mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository [a reference to the Mahdi], the promised one, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace."

A few days later, back home in Iran, Ahmadinejad told a group of religious leaders that during his UN speech, he felt a 'bright light' around him.

His reactions were captured on video and later posted on a conservative Iranian website.

Ahmadinejad said, "I felt it myself. I felt that the atmosphere suddenly changed, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, all the leaders of the world did not blink. When I say they didn't move an eyelid, I'm not exaggerating. They were looking as if a hand was holding them there, and had just opened their eyes to the message of the Islamic Republic."

Ahmadinejad is reportedly tied to a radical Islamic society in Iran that believes man can hasten the appearance of the Mahdi by creating chaos in the world.

Cantrell explained, "Ahmadinejad has stated that this chaos must take place before the Mahdi can come on the scene."

Some wonder if Ahmadinejad believes these are 'the end times,' and whether his calls for the destruction of Israel and nuclear pursuits are ways to accelerate the divine timetable.

Cantrell further explained, "With him it is a win-win situation. If we attack him, he wins because chaos happens. If we don't attack him, he gets to create the chaos which he has said he is willing to do and he will do."

In Shiite Muslim teaching, the Mahdi's second coming will be marked by apocalyptic times. Wars, famines and floods will ravage the earth and then comes judgment day and a battle between good and evil.

As the sun dips behind the mountains that surround Jamkaran, the faithful, many of whom voted for Ahmadinejad, arrive by the thousands from across Iran to pray for the Mahdi's return.

Ezatallah Alimoradi, a follower of the Mahdi, said, "I feel so refreshed in my spirit when I come here to Jamkaran."

Akram Alsadat Emmami, Follower of Mahdi, said, "This day belongs to the Mahdi and I've come to share my heart with him."

The night begins with a visit to the sacred well. CBN News is given a rare opportunity to visit with people praying there. The opening of the well is covered by a green-like metal box to prevent people from jumping in.

Most of the time here is spent praying and kissing the metal box. Others scribble prayer requests to the Mahdi on pieces of paper that are then dropped into the well.

A man asked the Mahdi to forgive his sins.

A man, Follower of Mahdi said, "If you ask in the right way, your prayers will be answered."

Another person seeks healing for family members.

Emmami explained, "I don't come here just to pray for myself. I also ask the Mahdi to take care of my family and their needs."

Many, like this young boy with a flashlight, believe the Mahdi is actually hiding at the bottom of the well reading those prayer requests.

Abbas Rezaie, Follower of Mahdi, told us, "I was looking into the well with my flashlight hoping to see the Mahdi. But not to tonight."

Shia tradition teaches that if you come to Jamkaran 40 weeks in a row, you will "see" the Mahdi.

A Woman who did not give her name said, "I have not had the privilege to see him yet, but I've had many dreams about him. In one of my dreams I saw a big bright light in the sky and this figure standing over me."

The next few hours are spent praying inside the Jamkaran mosque.

I stood at the entrance to the Jamkaran mosque; and I've been told that as a non-Muslim I am not allowed to go inside the mosque. The truth is every day, tens of thousands of men and women come through this mosque to say their prayers but also to pray that one day soon the Mahdi would return."

Nedal said, "And because we believe that he is going to come back soon we can believe in heaven and hell and we can believe in the life after death."

Ahmadinejad's government reportedly gave $20 million to help renovate the Jamkaran mosque. There are rumors that he's planning to build a railway line connecting Tehran and Jamkaran, to ferry the faithful.

And apparently Ahmadinejad has also drawn up the plans for the road the Mahdi will take when he returns.

Cantrell said, "...that will actually serve as the red carpet rolled out in Iran for the Mahdi to appear."

And if all this wasn't mystical enough, there's also the belief that when the Mahdi comes back, he will be accompanied by Jesus Christ.

Cantrell further explained, "The Mahdi will take Jesus to Mecca, they will circum-ambulate the Kabah together. The Mahdi will teach Jesus to pray; at which time Jesus will then replace the Gospel with the Koran, and then all of us Christians, wherever you are on the face of the earth, will convert to Islam because Islam will be deemed the one lasting pure religion."

As the West drifts closer to a potential showdown over Iran's nuclear program, followers of the Mahdi are getting ready for judgment day.

And many of them are convinced that President Ahmadinjead will fulfill his divine mission to prepare the world for the coming of the Islamic 'savior.'

Fulfill the word of God

Thank you God for giving me an opportunity to get to know you and Who you truly are and What you stand for... God bless your people all over the world. God please bless Israel and help them through their hardship in the name of your son Jesus (Yeshua). Amen

Jesus (Yeshua) came to fulfill all of God Commandment and Decrees as stated below. 

Deuteronomy 18:15-19 ESV

“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ And the Lord said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.

Acts 3:22-23 ESV

Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

Matthew 5:17-19 ESV

“Do not think that I have come to abolish   the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but   to fulfill them.  For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Romans 15:18-21 ESV

For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”

Jesus (Yeshua) came to Fully teach and preach the word of God.

Amen

Torah 1st Chapter- Learning

End of Genesis 1 and chapter 2 until verse 3

The earth was formless (unformed) and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

The Spirit of God hovered  (moving) over the face of the waters.

1st day -  God created Light and darkness.

2nd day - God created the heavens.

3rd day - land, sea vegetation grass plant yielding seed fruit trees bearing seed in them.

4th day - God created Day and night, for signs for, seasons, days and years.
God created a greater light for the day (which is the Sun) and I lesser lights for the night (which is the Moon).

( As you just read, God created the Sun and the moon, for we to use to determine the season the days and the years.)

5th day - God created living sea creatures everything that living in the sea and that creeps on the sea he created the birds that fly in the air he created.

6th day - God created living creatures on the earth like cattles and beast and every creeping things. Then he created men and women in God's image he created them.

As it says: God said Let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls (which means birds) of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And also on the sixth day God said I have given you every herb yielding seed and every tree which has fruit yielding seed to eat.(that is what we were supposed to be eating)
And for the animals he said they can eat every green herb for food.

God makes it a point to say every creation that God created has a living soul.

As it says- every beast of the earth and to every fowl (bird) of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul.
(God have given) every green herb for food.

7th day- God rested he rested on the seventh day and proclaimed it his day of rest.

End of Genesis 1 and chapter 2 until verse 3

The first chapter of the Torah.

Leviticus 11

God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus:11:3; 
And Deuteronomy:14:6).

These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy:14:4-5).

He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:4-8).

He later lists such "creeping things" as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (Leviticus:11:27).

He tells us that salt and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten (Leviticus:11:9-12), but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, squid, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten.
God also lists birds and other flying creatures that are unclean for consumption (Leviticus:11:13-19). He identifies carrion eaters and birds of prey as unclean, plus ostriches, storks, herons and bats.
Birds such as chickens, turkeys and pheasants are not on the unclean list and therefore can be eaten. Insects, with the exception of locusts, crickets and grasshoppers, are listed as unclean (Leviticus:11:20-23).

Why does God identify some animals as suitable for human consumption and others as unsuitable? God didn't give laws to arbitrarily assert control over people. He gave His laws (including those of which meats are clean or unclean) "that it might be well" with those who seek to obey Him (Deuteronomy:5:29).

Although God did not reveal the specific reasons some animals may be eaten and others must be avoided, we can make generalized conclusions based on the animals included in the two categories.

In listing the animals that should not be eaten, God forbids the consumption of scavengers and carrion eaters, which devour other animals for their food.

Animals such as pigs, bears, vultures and raptors can eat (and thrive) on decaying flesh. Predatory animals such as wolves, lions, leopards and cheetahs most often prey on the weakest (and at times the diseased) in animal herds.

When it comes to sea creatures, bottom dwellers such as lobsters and crabs scavenge for dead animals on the sea floor. Shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels similarly consume decaying organic matter that sinks to the sea floor, including sewage.

A common denominator of many of the animals God designates as unclean is that they routinely eat flesh that would sicken or kill human beings. When we eat such animals we partake of a food chain that includes things harmful to people.

As nutritionist David Meinz observes: "Could it be that God, in His wisdom, created certain creatures whose sole purpose is to clean up after the others? Their entire 'calling' may be to act exclusively as the sanitation workers of our ecology. God may simply be telling us that it's better for us believers not to consume the meat of these trash collectors" ( Eating by the Book, 1999, p. 225).

The following list, based on Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, identifies many of the animals God designates as clean and unclean. The list uses their common names.

Now you have an understanding of what is good for you to eat and what's not good for you to eat.  

I AM WHO I AM

God created the Universe. He created everything we can see and everything we cannot see beyond our universe.

There will come a time that the earth will change in a blink of an Eye.

There will be catastrophe that will affect the whole entire world.

It will be like any other day,  some will be working while others will be at home and others just enjoying the day or evening.

Then all will change in a blink of an Eye. The ground underneath your feet will given way...

The World will morn and you will hear the cries of many. You will either die in a blink of an Eye or be saved to be witness to what's to come.

I hope you have made your peace with everyone.

You will wonder what happened? If you we're one of the lucky ones to survive? I'm not sure if you are really lucky or not?  Even people that believe they were following Gods will, Will question their faith. Many Church's will wonder what happen? Why are we still here? For the scriptures say there will only be 1 church that will be saved from those days.

That church loved the Lord enough to find out what the Lord wants from his followers. They lived their lifes for the Lord and thru the grace of Jesus they learned the truth.

All of this will happen in a time you do not expect.

Or are there signs that we may know the time is getting near?

As it says in the Bible, It will be like the days of Noah!!!.

What was happening in the days of Noah? What was taking place to cause such a flood that the World had never seen before?

Let's take a look at what was happening, before the great flood.

The great flood has been reported throughout cultures.

The book of Enoch- explain that there we're Watchers on earth in those days. Since the beginning of mankind.

Imaging the Watchers exist as God first creation and they traveled the universe with 'Our creator'.

As it states in the Old Testament and The Torah,  the Lord says, I AM WHO I AM.

It's possible, since GOD
( I Am ) can do anything he wants. I AM is the creator of the world, the universe and everything beyond our understanding.

Bible says:
Exodus 3:14 ESV
God said to Moses, “ I am who I am .” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘ I am has sent me to you.’”

And Jesus said:
John 8:58 ESV
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Thanks be to GOD ( I AM )

The Bible teaches, that God love's mankind and only wants the very best for his People.  Who are his People? 
It was Israel, those were and are God choicen people. But thanks be to Jesus we all have a chance to love our Lord and love eachother and keep God commandment and decrees as Jesus did.  

We need to love God enough to have a personal relationship with our mighty creator and learn what he likes and doesn't like. For that is a relationship.

Okay let me get back to God first creation which existed before man we're created.

We currently call them Angels. In other books they were called the Watchers or the Fallen Angles or the fallen ones spoken about in the book of Enoch? Or do we call them now Aliens?

Some of God watchers wanted to help mankind. While others wants to see us dead.

For there are those who work with the man of lawlessness, the evil ONE. 

There are powers beyond our realm that are fighting against us!!!

Lucifer was the angel of the air, he was the most beautiful angel, until he fell from grace or so we have been told.

To be continued
