ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (JANUARY 12th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Our Prophet (saas) says that the antichrist will appear following a burst of anger. Something that will anger him will happen, and them he will reveal himself. In other words, he will oppose Hazrat Mahdi (as). But he is not someone Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be able to deal with as he will employ hypnotism and marvels. For example, he will show someone his dead father.” Look,” he will say “this is your father”. And since people are strongly influenced by their parents, his father will call him to disbelief for instance. “Follow the antichrist, my son,” he will say. And when his son looks at him he will see his father, his dead father. He will say, ”he brought me back to life, and you must follow him.” They will then believe that he is the Prophet Jesus. That is in fact how the Christian belief goes. He will claim deity- Allah forbid- and it is said that he will resurrect the dead. And they will see as if he had resurrected the dead. And he will also claim deity - Allah forbid!- He will say, “look, this is your mother. Your mother also says that I am divine. She says that I am Allah. So you must follow me. And the antichrist will attract a great mass of followers. Under those circumstances, there is nothing Hazrat Mahdi (as) can do. The antichrist is not something that can be defeated intellectually or culturally. He is a creature, like satan in human form. But at just that point the Prophet Jesus will return, as a blessing from Almighty Allah. He will return to earth. When the Messiah returns he will confront the antichrist. Probably in the form of a gathering, he will gather all the people. The antichrist will put on a spectacle, a kind of show. “Call on the person known as Jesus,” he will say “I will also show him that I am Allah.”- Alllah forbid. He will again try to supposedly bring someone’s dead father back to life. But there and then the Prophet Jesus (as) will break his hypnotic spell. The man will see that neither his dead father nor his mother are there. The crowd will be enraged this time. Our Prophet (saas) says when it is realized that the so-called Messiah, the antichrist, was lying, the antichrist will seek to escape in the direction of the Gate of Lud. But the Prophet Jesus (as) will follow running and catch him. He will catch and neutralize the antichrist at the Gate of Lud in this wise.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KARADENIZ TV (February 13th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: The Gate of Lud is in Israel. It is currently in ruins. It is said that the Prophet Jesus (as) will pursue the antichrist and catch up with him there. The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will catch him together and neutralize the antichrist there. Said Nursi says, “even a microbe, a cold would kill him in body.... But what really counts is his intellectual system.” In other words, he says the Prophet Jesus (as) will kill that. Because the antichrist cannot be vanquished intellectually, because he performs hallucinations. Said Nursi says “only a prophet with marvels is now needed”. And that prophet is. He says: “the Prophet Jesus (as) who is accepted by the majority”.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (FEBRUARY 16th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: ... This is for the atheist Zionists’ and Freemasons’ Armageddon plan, this is the Armageddon plan. The plan of the antichrist. This is the plan of the system of antichrist to wipe out Muslims, but it will fail. The Prophet Jesus (as), the true Messiah, will come. He will combine with Hazrat Mahdi (as) and eliminate this very sinister Armageddon plan. In fact we see the worst dimension of Jewish enmity here. This is such a genocide preparation that it is incomparable, that is incomparably worse than that perpetrated by Hitler among some Christians and that is in fact an immense Jewish enmity. The reason why some Christians are supporting the Jews at the moment is that they regard them as powerful enough to eradicate the Muslims. But then, this time they will eradicate the Christians. That is their plan. The 144 thousand is referred to in the corrupted New Testament. And they have, by misinterpreting the New Testament, by expounding these according to their own minds in such a way, drawn such a conclusion. In other words, they thus arrived at this massacre plan. That is why this is what the antichrist whom they await will do. He will first organize the Jews and unleash them against Muslims. Then after professedly annihilating the Muslims, the antichrist will join forces with the Christians again and kill everyone apart from 144,000 Jews. However this is a very deep-rooted belief and a very widespread one. The people are not aware of this genocide I mean of these preparations for a genocide, people are a bit distant in respect of knowledge from this giant event. This is an important fact that needs to be emphasized. Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the person who will prevent this disaster. When Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes, he will prevent that genocide, prevent this disgrace and also eliminate the antichrist’s claim to divine status. He will cast his lies back in his face. But he will do this together with the Prophet Jesus (as). The Prophet Jesus (as) will thwart the antichrist’s snares. The antichrist will lay on a spectacle with hypnosis. He will make people think that he had resurrected their dead parents. As you know, particularly in the End Times many parents will turn their children away from the true path and some of them lead them to kuffur. Thus the antichrist, who is well aware of this power, will show people their dead mothers and fathers as hallucination and make them approve his divinity. May Allah forbid, he will ask “am I Allah or am I not?” And they will say “You are Allah”- May Allah forbid- and they will tell their children ”Abide this person, he is Allah.” may Allah forbid. Hazrat Messiah will come insha’Allah by Allah’s leave, and the blessed Messiah will thwart that ruse, and he will put an end to it by working together with Hazrat Mahdi (as). Because a miracle-working prophet is required to do that says the Blessed Said Nursi. In other words, it is not something Hazrat Mahdi (as) can achieve on his own. And the time when it will take place is approaching fast. The system of the Mahdi (as) has already begun. And we will soon see the coming of the Prophet Jesus, insha’Allah.
