Death of King Abdullah is prophetic trigger for attack on Israel, return of Islamic messiah, Iran’s leadership believes
By Mark Ellis, Special To ASSIST News Service
The
highest levels of Iran’s leadership believe there are only two
prophetic triggers before the return of their long-awaited messiah and
one of them just happened: the death of 90-year-old King Abdullah of
Saudi Arabia.
“Iran’s
leaders believe they can facilitate the coming of the last Islamic
messiah,” says Reza Khalili. “They believe the centuries old Hadith
predicts this and that the time is close.” Khalili ( a pseudonym) was a
member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard who became a CIA spy before he
escaped to the West.
The
second trigger is the destruction of Israel. “The first trigger is a
sign that the second trigger needs to take place,” he notes. “Once King
Abdullah dies, that will tell them the time is now.”
This
thinking – which may seem fanatical or impossible to Western observers —
pervades the highest levels of Iran’s leadership. “He (Ayatollah
Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran) told close associates that he will
be the one to pass the flag of Islam to Imam Mahdi, the Islamic
messiah. Khamenei believes he is the one.”
“They will attack Israel and we are allowing them to get the nuclear bomb,” Khalili warns.
In
2012, the supreme leader referred to Israel as a “cancerous tumor that
should be cut and will be cut.” In 2013 he questioned whether Israel’s
leaders are worthy of the “title human,” called Israel “a rabid dog,”
and questioned the historicity of the Holocaust.
“The
Holocaust is an event whose reality is uncertain and if it has
happened, it’s uncertain how it has happened,” he said last year.
