Meet the World's Most Dangerous Man
In his provocative, well-researched exposé of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock unveils the insidious agenda behind this radical Shiite's regime:
Ahmadinejad plans to hasten the return of the Islamic messiah
by ushering in his vision of the apocalypse.
His ultimate goal-driven by his fanatical ideology-is to bring the Mahdi, or Twelfth Imam, out of hiding. And he plans to do so by arming his country with nuclear weapons, then exporting the Iranian revolution to the world by destroying Israel and the United States.
But there's a bizarre twist to Ahmadinejad's nightmarish intentions: This ardent zealot may well be part of God's plan to set the stage for a scenario prophesied more than 2,500 years ago. Hitchcock presents compelling evidence that Ahmadinejad's actions, including his alliances with Russia and many of Iran's neighbors, have placed his nation-and the world-on a collision course toward the war of Gog and Magog.
Discover the truth about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his role in biblical prophecy, and what it means for the world-and you.
