Since taking power, Iran's president, Mahmud Ahmadi-nejad, has made some remarkable statements which have garnered the attention of the world's media and the concern of the world's governments. Just look at some of what Ahmadi-nejad has claimed:

• The Holocaust is a "myth" and never really happened.
• "We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world."
• Iran's "culture of martyrdom-seeking" is the country's best guarantee of national security.
• In an open letter to President George Bush, Ahmadi-nejad invited Bush to become a Muslim; then later said in an interview, "Those who refuse to accept an invitation to good will (to follow Islam) will not have a good ending or fate."

President Ahmadi-nejad follows a radical sect of Shi'a Islam that is awaiting the return of the "12th Imam," or the "Mahdi," a figure Shi'a Muslims believe will return to earth and usher in a time of peace and justice...after Islam has taken over domination of the world. When he was mayor of Tehran, Ahmadi-nejad advocated widening the roads in order to accommodate the Mahdi's triumphant entry into the city.

Iran's people are constantly hearing the messages of the Mahdi's return; but with the help of VOM readers, they are also hearing messages about another return: the return of Jesus Christ. CLICK HERE to learn how you can help.
