About this ebook

The Mahdi, "The Expected One"represents the accumulation of events that had their beginning around 2000 B.C. during the time of Abraham. It is from this time the story unfolds. It is the start of two great peoples who through to the present day have become bitter enemies. Two brothers in competition for Gods favor, each wanting to destroy the other.

Into this mix are the archaic systems of government in todays world. Feudalistic empires and their serf armies struggling to control world resources. The age of industrialization and the new rise of economic powers in once deprived nations like China and India have pushed the envelope of world domination. Colonial rulers running crumbling empires and moralists spreading their philosophy of living, religion, and government have added to the chaos. The nations of the world continue to escalate weapons development racing to join the Nuclear Club even though their own countries can little afford the costs of the race.

Nations are forming alliances based on common interests both militarily and economically. Russia, China, and the Islamic world, the Tri-Pack, are being pushed together in a relationship of necessity. They are the odd puzzle pieces that dont fit in the world today. Out of this relationship will come a global power to be dealt with by the rest of the world.

Sir McKinder wrote in 1919 of the World Island. Today that World Island is larger than the original World Island. Russia in time will reacquire her old empire. China will settle the Taiwan question by force, and eliminate the problem in North Korea allowing Korea to re-unite under the Chinese sphere-of-influence. Out of the World of Islam will rise a leader who will unite Islam under one banner. All of Africa, except South Africa, West Asia, South Asia, minus India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, except Vietnam, East Asia, except Japan, and North Asia will comprise the New World Island.

The loss of Africa is a result of negligence of the Western world their only interests being cheap Raw Resources for their economic empires. Africa in the equation was the pivotal piece, handled properly could have derailed the New World Island.

Mexico, Central America, and South America are ripe for investments and relations with the Tri-Pack and could swing to the New World Island. Cuba, non-relations, has weakened the U.S. position. The use of the Monroe Doctrine and carrying a Big Stick has alienated this part of the world from the United States.

Not long ago the President of Iran stated he is preparing the way for the arrival of The Mahdi, "The Expected One".

    INTRODUCTION:

    "They stared in the mirror and saw themselves

    staring in a mirror at themselves staring in a mirror at

    themselves, but the last image of themselves in the mirror

    they were looking back" Author

    Introduction

    The morning air was filled with the thunderous roar of missiles lifting off near the Pyrenees Mountains close to the Spanish coast. Peio Bihotza, a Basque, was herding his sheep when he saw the missiles pass overhead going north to France. He thought to himself those crazy Spaniards. Peio was looking forward to his evening meal; Bacalao a la vizcaina, cod in pepper sauce, pastries de arroz, custard pie, and cider. Peio and his wife were celebrating their 50th anniversary.

    Tarragona Air Force base near Barcelona was less than a minute from destruction. General Manuel Diaz was in the CORTEZ underground Command Center2 having his morning coffee when their Defense Systems went to condition ‘Red’3 the monitors were showing incoming missile signatures. CORTEZ automatically started to lock down, massive doors closing as the last men entered CORTEZ. Jets and bombers were scrambling to lift off. One bomber and two fighter jets were airborne when the first MIRV missile, with a neutron warhead, exploded overhead followed by two other MIRV missiles dedonating. The neutron radiation seared through their flesh and bones disintegrating them into viscous fluid held together only by their flight suits. The two jets fell from the sky crashing into Barcelona neighborhoods erupting in balls of fire. The bomber veered off on a path to La Seu, Cathedral of Barcelona, home of Santa Lluc. She must have been protecting the Cathedral that day for at the last moment the bomber temporarily gained altitude and nose dived two miles away in an up scale neighborhood exploding in a fire storm that consumed several blocks, followed by secondary explosions of ordinance.

    Outside of Barcelona near the Pyrenees mountains and the Spanish coast was located the world’s largest shipping center, two hundred square miles. Owned by the Chinese it was a major supplier of goods to Europe and the Middle East from Asia. General Po Lao Chiang was looking at a monitor displaying the command center ‘Guardian’ in China. General Xiaong Che had just given the launch command five minutes ago. For days General Mohammad Al-Gazir and General Hasam Al-Gaadha organized and marshaled their forces ready for ‘Operation Genghis Khan’. Elements of the Moslem army were preceding parallel to the Pyrenees Mountains. This was the responsibility of General Hasam Al-Gaada’s Moroccan 2nd and 3rd armor and the 1st and 9th infantry divisions.4, 1st armor and the 8th and 2nd infantry divisions were moving to the Ebro River. Other targets for the missiles; Zaragoza, Morón Air Base near Seville, and Torrejon airbases near Madrid, and the Naval de Rota near Cadiz. The 1st, 5th, and 11th Tactical wing flew cover for the army of Islam, there was no resistance.

    Japan, Greece, Eastern Europe, and India were under attack as thousands of missiles had been launched at military and industrial targets. The United States was not spared. Two thousand warheads had been launched at her key military bases and naval ports, plus central hubs of communication and transportation. The Western world was reeling and had been caught by surprise, anarchy reigned. Of the six billion humans that were alive that morning two billion were dead or dying that night. What had brought the world to this terrible moment?

    CHAPTER 1: THE STAGE

    1:1 Abraham: The Curse of Hagar

    The Ancient Past

    Two women cannot live in the same tent

    Author

    Chapter 1 The Stage

    For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.’ [Genesis Chapter 21: 1]

    ‘And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.’

    [Genesis Chapter 21: 3]

    ‘And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.’ [Genesis Chapter 21: 9]

    ‘Wherefore she said unto Abraham, cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.’ [Genesis Chapter 21: 10]

    ‘And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.’ [Genesis Chapter 21:11]

    ‘And God said unto Abraham, let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of the Bondwoman: in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.’ [Genesis Chapter 21: 12]

    ‘And also of the son of the Bondwoman, will I make a nation, because he is thy seed’ [Genesis Chapter 21: 13]

    ‘And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it un to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba’ 1[Genesis Chapter 21: 14]

    Hagar was outraged at being banished from the ‘Tribe of Abraham’ with just bread and water for her and Abraham’s son, Ishmael. She swore a curse, as she looked back seeing Abraham standing outside the tent opening, and prayed that God would grant her this request, if not now, or the near future, in generations to come against the ‘Seed of Abraham and Sarah’.

    Abraham saw Hagar look back then turning away in disgust. Abraham felt faint as he took one last look at Hagar with Ishmael on the horizon, then they disappeared from sight. A terrible foreboding, as though by this action he had doomed the world. Before Abraham turned to go back in his tent he noticed someone off in the distance watching, a strange figure with a solid red cloak, and a hood covering up his face. It turned and moved away with a strange lopping gate. The Red cloaked figure said to himself, Some things you send your minions to do, and some you do yourself.

    1:2 Mecca, Saudi Arabia

    Mahdi – The Promise From Allah

    During the time of the Prophet Mohammed it was predicted that ‘The Mahdi’ would return. It would be a time of great need in a world that had lost it’s direction. Moses stated that God told him, ‘I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ [Deuteronomy Chapter18:18]

    ‘And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."2[Deuteronomy Chapter 18:19]

    1:3 Mecca, Saudi Arabia

    The Mahdi Lives

    I was born in Madinah, Muhammad ibn Abdallah, born into the Bani Hashim, Quraysh tribe. Our family made its way to Lebanon. But I never knew my family. My Step Father, Brother and Sister; all were killed by non-believers, infidels. My Mother and I were left alive after the bombing run and land attack by the Israelis in the Begaa valley in Lebanon. I have known all of my life that Allah, ‘Hu Haq Hoval Ali’, chose for me the path I now walk. Allah, ‘Ya Allah, Ya Alim, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim’, has in his perfect wisdom declared favor on me to lead the World of Islam as The Mahdi, ‘The Guided One’. The Imams and people await deliverance. All corruption, evil, hypocrisy will be effaced by establishing the governance of ‘Wilayah’.

    The Mahdi thought to himself of the hero’s who fought against the infidels in the 90’s and after. The struggle of Osama bin Laden, Sadam Hussein, the Hezbollah, and the Hammas against America, Great Britain, and Israel.

    The Mahdi cloaked in his own thoughts crossed over to the Kabbah for prayer, five months to Ramadan.

    The Mahdi was followed by his silent bodyguard of assassins who could trace their linage to the time of Mohammad, ‘Blessings be on his name’. Their exact numbers were unknown except to the Mahdi. They executed his orders without question. Hundreds of thousands would die when the Mahdi declared that he was the ‘Chosen One’. Entire families, old power structures, would be erased to make way for the ‘Deliverance’. Several ‘Royal Families’ had to perish do to their transgressions with the infidels.

    1:4 Vatican City, Rome, Italy

    Present, A Life Relived

    ‘Peter of Rome’ was extremely tired that night due to meetings with the Council and Diplomatic visits. A good nights rest is what was called for after today’s events. Peter fell into a deep sleep and started dreaming about being in a tent near a desert oasis. The woman before him was irate and angry that her son’s right of inheritance was in question. Her son had been mocked by the bondwoman’s child. Peter in that life as Patriarch of the tribe was forced to expel the bondwoman and her son into desert giving them only bread and water. Peter suddenly realized that he was Abraham and Sarah was his wife with their son Isaac, and Hagar was the bondwoman and Ishmael his son. Then it suddenly occurred to him was it possible that they had all reincarnated in this life, but he asked himself to what purpose. Then he remembered the two women he had affairs with while in the Middle East; one in Lebanon named Hagar, and the other woman in Jerusalem named Sarah. Peter suddenly sat up in his bed shaking. At the door entering his room Peter saw a fading apparition of Hagar the Egyptian. She was looking at him with hate in her eyes, and then she turned and passed through the door. There was a scent in the room and exotic fragrance, and an old memory came back to him it was Hagar’s favorite perfume. Peter thought, are the events of thousands of years ago to be played on the world stage again? Are Sarah and Hagar now alive and what of Isaac and Ishmael?

    The Red Cloaked figure outside the Vatican smiled. You shouldn’t have sent them into the desert, now there will be ‘Hell to Pay’. He laughed, ‘Hell to Pay’, he hadn’t had a good laugh since Nero fiddled and Rome burned. Still laughing to himself he stepped into the shadows.

    1:5 Mecca, Saudi Arabia

    Aga Kahil Zag, Islamic

    It was the night of the first day of Ramadan and the Mahdi saw the Moon moving into the first stage of an eclipse. The darkness increased and the pilgrims were afraid, some murmured prayers of protection. This was unusual for there were no lunar eclipses during Ramadan this year. Several days later the pilgrims saw another celestial event that was impossible, a solar eclipse. The Mahdi smiled, it is time, as predicted. He hurried off to the Al-Hasan Conference Center.

    Everyone knew Aga Kahil Zag, the 90-year-old Islamic historian. He wandered the streets of Medina and Mecca, loved by all, a known authority on the Qur’an, Sunni, and Shi’i interpretation. His specialized interests were references to the return of the Mahdi, and the deliverance of the world from the corruption, evil, and hypocrisy. Aga hoped he would live to see the Mahdi, rumors said the Mahdi was already here waiting in ‘Occultation’. Aga was in Mecca to attend a conference of Imams from all over the Islamic world during Ramadan. There were presentations on history, current world matters influencing Islam, and dogma of the Islamic faith. Aga’s presentation was on the Mahdi and his return from ‘Occultation’ according to Hadiths and the Qur’an. Aga hurried across the street to the Al-Hasan Conference Center. Aga was feeling uncomfortable, like a heavy weight on his chest, and some difficulty breathing, but his discomfiture passed. He reminded himself to make an appointment to see the doctor and get a checkup. Days before during Ramadan the pilgrims had seen a strange sight, both eclipses of the Sun and Moon in the space of a few days. Aga thought of the event knowing it was a sign of the coming of the Mahdi. Emotions were running high in the Islamic world. As Aga entered the conference center he was greeted by several Imams, who venerated this old scholar. One of the younger clerics from Pakistan brought tea to the Imams and Aga. The conference was about to begin and Aga was the main presenter, subject, ‘The Return of the Mahdi’. The Imams always enjoyed his theological presentations for their depth and historical accuracy. Aga approached the podium, and the Imams stood up clapping their hands and bowing their heads as a sign of respect. Looking over his audience there was one particular individual that stood out over the crowd. There was something about his demeanor. Aga made a mental note to meet him during one of the breaks. Aga started, Quoting the Prophet, ‘Blessings be upon his name’, The world will not come to an end until God sends a man from my family, whose name will be the same as mine, and who’s Father’s name will be the same as my Father’s. He will fill the earth with justice and equity, as it is filled with injustice and tyranny3. Fatima was told by the Prophet, O Fatima, know that from Husayn, his ninth descendant, will appear al-Qa’im. In the past there have been many false or misguided Mahdi’s. Umar b Al-‘Aziz, Sayyid Muhammad, the Sudan Mahdi, and Muhammad Ahmad, to name others. Many of you have asked if the Mahdi is here today why it isn’t widely known. The answer is secrecy is necessary to protect him from traditional enemies, as it was in the past the Umayyads and Abbasids. God will keep secret the information until God fulfills his will on this matter. The Prophet told the people I have left you ‘Book of God’ and my family. Keep with you the ‘Book of God’ and your life will be guided until ‘Judgment Day’4. The Mahdi is in occultation amongst you. He knows all of the people and is in Mecca during pilgrimage and participates in rituals at the time of Hajj The Mahdi, from a cave in Antioch, will find the ancient book, the Torah and other heavenly sent books. At that time the people will be offered the faith of Islam. The people that reject Islam will be judged by the agents of Allah. At that moment the Hasan Conference Center started shaking, walls moving and tiles falling from the ceiling. The Imams started to head toward the exits to escape the building. Aga again felt uncomfortable, and suddenly he felt like someone had stabbed him in the chest with a fiery knife. Aga fell on his side rolling over on his back. The Mahdi hurried over to Aga and noticed how shallow his breathing was and that his eyes wandered. The Mahdi made him comfortable putting a cushion under his head. Even though the building was shaking many Imams stopped and milled around Aga concerned for his well-being. Aga whispered, I know that I am dying, but my wish that before my death would have been to see the Mahdi. Then he stared at the face over his, this was the man he wanted to talk to after his presentation. The Mahdi said to Aga, You have seen the Mahdi. The Mahdi stood and turned to all of the Imams milling around and with a booming voice said, "I am the Mahdi, the ‘Expected One’. My ancestry can be traced to Fatima, daughter of the Prophet, ‘Peace be upon him’. Even if there remained only one minute on earth, God promised I would return. I have all of the features of the ‘Expected One’, broad forehead, the shape of my nose, born in Medina, here on my face is the mole, and on my back the sign of the Prophet. I will unite all of the ‘Arab World, Turks, Persians, and Arabs will unite and follow me. I have the cloth from the robe of the Prophet. ‘Praise and peace be upon him’. I will give you justice, and protect you from the inequities of the world. My army will be made of hundreds of millions of followers from the East and West. As the signs promised from Allah, ‘Allah be Praised’ billions will join our ranks and turn toward Islam. The Christians, Jews, Sabians, and disbelievers will be killed if they refuse the offer of Islam. In Antioch lay hidden treasures of the ancients. From these the great judgment will take place with the Jews, Christians, and Moslems. In the Month of Ramadan you saw the moon eclipse on the first night of Ramadan, and the sun eclipse in the middle of Ramadan. This has not occurred since Allah created Heaven and Earth. Gabriel is at my front, and at my middle is Michael. I will meet and defeat and scatter our enemies. Allah, ‘La illaha illala’, has instructed me to pray at the Mosques in Cairo, Istanbul, and Mecca. The Mahdi reached inside his kaftan and pulled out, in a special case that hung around his neck on a gold chain, a black square of cloth from the robe of the great prophet Mohammad, ‘Blessings be upon his name’. The Mahdi said," This piece of cloth from the robe of our great prophet, ‘Praise and peace be upon his name’, shall be on our banner against the infidels. I am the Mahdi!"

    Then a voice spoke to all of the minds of those at the Conference and Imams all over the Islamic world, "This is the Mahdi, listen to him, obey him, he is my ‘Khaleefatallah’."5 They were all stunned, Allah had spoken to them, and the Mahdi had arrived.

    The Imams began chanting Mahdi, Mahdi, Mahdi. Aga smiled his wish had been granted, and he died. The word spread to the streets of Mecca, and hundreds of thousands converged on the Al-Hasan Conference Center. It began raining, a torrential downpour all over the Middle East. Plants that hadn’t been seen in the desert for a thousand years began to grow. Ancient rivers flowed that had been dry for tens of thousands of years. Word spread around the world, and hundreds of millions of people marched in the streets of Islamic countries shouting Mahdi, Mahdi, Mahdi. Old regimes and pro-west governments were toppled, replaced by Imams and clerics of the Islamic faith. Nothing would be the same again in the world.

    1:6 The Mahdi

    Issues A Fatwa Of Unity To The Islamic World

    Statement signed by ‘The Mahdi’, Amir, leader of all of the Moslem world, praise be to God:

    Many sects in the past have been at war with each other. Sunnis, traditional orthodox believers, the shi’ites, began as a following of Ali, 661 A.D.6 There are other Islamic groups; The Wahhabis, who believed that Islam had been distorted, the Nizari, assassins, my own bodyguard, the Baha’i who have lost their way and others.

    I am issuing the following fatwa to all Muslims, In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful:

    This I command to all sects, there will be no more sects, we are all Moslems. Moslem must not kill Moslem. Arab must not kill Arab. All blood feuds, vendettas, inter-sect violence will cease.

    For the first time since the death of Mohammad, peace existed in the Islamic world. Old hatreds had been set aside.

    1:7 Hopi Village, Northern Arizona

    The Near Past

    The Elders descended the ladder into the Kiva7 and proceeded to sit around the fire pit. The ‘Old One’ looked at his companions and thought of the changes that were occurring and those to come showing the ‘End of The Fourth World’. The ‘Old One’ said, The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. Many signs have been fulfilled, and so few are left. Some Elders nodded and others were silent."

    The ‘Old One’ said, We have seen our way of life disappear. The missionaries say they are here to help us find the way to salvation through their God. They preach from a book and condemn our practices as godless yet they themselves do not understand the world they live in. Many of our brothers are no longer here and their lands have been taken by the white man. The white man has no respect for nature and destroys those things he touches. The Elders said as one voice, Our brothers to the North, East, West, and South tell us this is so."

    The last sign we wait for is the ‘Night of Saquasohuh, The Blue Star’8. The Elders remained silent lost in their own thoughts. The ‘Old One’ said, This has yet to happen but soon, very soon.

    1:8 Earthquake

    USGS Denver Office
