CBN News reports, "New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi--or Islamic messiah--is about to appear."
"CBN News has obtained a never-seen-before video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place -- and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times."
"While the revolutionary movements gripping the Middle East have created uncertainty throughout the region, the video shows that the Iranian regime believes the chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand."
"The propaganda footage has reportedly been approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government."
"It's called 'The Coming is Near' and it describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical twelfth Imam or Mahdi -- the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days."
"The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching."

If you read my blogs for February 2nd and 3rd you will see that I was asking is he near? (I did refer to him as the thirteenth Imam).
How long before war between Israel and Iran?
Is either side willing to use nuclear weapons?
The Iranians want to occupy Jerusalem so I believe are less likely to use weapons of mass destruction if they have them.
I'm less sure of the Israelis.
Remember the prophecies claim the Mahdi cannot come until chaos reigns.
For some this means they must bring about chaos in order to usher in the Mahdi's coming.
Don't lose sight of the fact that the Mahdi is a Shia figure not Sunni.

Why Ireland?
Today, I learned that the Irish have decided to resolve their financial/fiscal problems by printing Euros. Apparently this is allowed, provided it is first approved by the European Bank.
What a nice simple solution!
My first question is Why Ireland?
If members of the European Union can print money, why did Greece not do so?
Why are Spain and Portugal not doing the same?
I know one cannot answer a question with a question but...
I wonder how the Germans are going to feel when it becomes common knowledge that the Irish are printing Euros? Will they be relieved they are no longer be forced to bail the Irish out? Or will they be angry that the successor to their 'beloved' mark is being destoyed by the Celts?
A second question;
Is this dispensation afforded to the Irish, as a reward or a punishment?
Back a couple of years ago the Irish people were unwilling to support the notion of a European Constitution. The result of a national plebicite was no! Europe was check mated. Without an Irish yes, there could be no Constitution.
The Celtic Tiger started to falter. The Irish realized the bubbble was deflating or might indeed pop. A second referendum was organized and the Irish reversed themselves, saying yes by a small majority. A majority put the potential for continued prosperity before conscience.
End of problem?
It seems not.
The bubble popped.
The political leaders, putting the needs of the bankers paramount, all offered to guarentee the assets of the Irish banks without counting the cost of what they were doing. The rest is history.
But, it seems the simple solution to National Debt is just to print one's way out of the disaster. Paper and ink are cheep. Can a $50 Euro note can cost much more that twenty five cents to print?
So, to return to the first question. Is Ireland being rewarded or punished for saving the European Constitution? If punished, by whom?
As I ponder the questions, I am put in mind of an old legend about Ireland.
Saint Patrick on meeting God was allowed to know the 'end times' situation of his beloved people. On finding they will lose the 'faith' before the end, he asks for a different outcome. The solution offered, is that before Ireland looses the faith, the Island itself will be inundated by the ocean and sink beneath the waves.
This is the good news for Ireland. I wonder what the good news is for the rest of the world?
