Iranian regime in turmoil over The Coming is Upon Us

Two weeks ago, Reza Khalili (a pseudonym), a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard officer who has defected to the United States, disclosed the release of a short (28-minute) video about the imminently expected arrival of the missing 12th Imam, the Shiite Messiah. I thought I had run a story about this, but apparently I did not. Here's the video with English subtitles.

Let's go to the videotape.



Khalili reports that the Iranian regime is quite upset that the video is out.

The film reveals the regime’s true ideology and plans for the world. As I stated in my release, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei — President Ahmadinejad’s top adviser and chief of staff — was directly involved with this project, and he was the first one to be sacrificed over the movie’s publicity in the West. Ahmadinejad, who had strongly supported Mashaei, had no option but to fire him from that position, which was announced on April 8.

One day later, Mashaei denied any involvement with the makers of the movie, though he did not deny all of its facts.

However, the objection to this movie came not only from those opposing Ahmadinejad but also from some hardline radicals, including Hossein Shariatmadari — the managing editor of Kayhan, Iran’s major state newspaper. He lambasted everyone, claiming that now the enemy (the West) is using this video to weaken Iran by showing the intimacies of their sacred beliefs to the world.

The Iranian regime never intended for the documentary to be made public. Reports indicate that funds for its production came directly from the Revolutionary Guards: they intended to distribute it en masse throughout the Middle East to incite further uprisings, while calling for the unification of Arabs to overthrow U.S.-backed governments and promising the destruction of Israel and the imminent coming of the Shiite messiah.

The revelations in this movie have even caused the Grand Ayatollah Sistani in Iraq to show concern, as he has long opposed the radicalism coming out of Iran.

...

It is important to note that in the video, Grand Ayatollah Khomeini — the founder of the Islamic Republic — is quoted as saying that he had three goals for Iran:

1. Overthrowing the shah

2. Establishing an Islamic state

3. Creating the situation for the return of the last imam

It goes on to say that the one following him will be the one to pass the flag of Islam to Imam Mahdi for the conquest of the world by Islam. There is also a quote claiming Khomeini personally told Ayatollah Khamenei that he will be the one to bring about the End of Times and the final glorification of Allah.

While the Iranian leaders are scrambling to stop the damage caused by the publicity over this video, it is important to note: they truly believe their mission to destroy Israel and bring about the reappearance of Imam Mahdi.

This morning, reports claim the Iranian regime has filtered the website of “The Conductors of The Coming,” along with the movie and all of the related information.

Hmmm....
