16. Prophet Daniel Speaks About the Riser Ahmed
Prophet DanielPBUH said: [31] “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. [32] The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, [33] its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. [34] As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. [35] Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But
the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. [36] “This was the dream . . .” (Daniel 2).
After DanielPBUH interpreted the gold, silver, bronze, and iron as being the four kingdoms that will be set up on the earth. He said:
[44] And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, [45] just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure” (Daniel 2).
The Riser Ahmed is the stone that will break and put an end to all kingdoms of oppression, deviation, tyrants, and Satan, as will become clear in the next paragraph.
When DanielPBUH saw a vision of beasts: a lion, bear, leopard, and a fourth, terrifying beast stomping the rest, he said:
[9] “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
[10] A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened. . . 146
[13] “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
[14] And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed (Daniel 7).
The text is clearly talking about the redeemer whose nation will be given the kingdom, and of whom all nations will inquire. The ancient of days is Imam Al-MahdiPBUH, and the son of man whom his master set and given everlasting dominion that shall not be destroyed, is his son, the Riser Ahmed. He is the trustworthy and wise servant according to Jesus'PBUH description, and it has been previously mentioned that he is the one worthy to open the scrolls and seals in the Revelation to John.
Regarding the fourth terrifying beast, Daniel said:
[11] . . . as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. [12] As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time (Daniel 7).
The lion that has wings symbolizes the British Empire which was established in Europe; its emblem is a lion with wings. The bear is the emblem of Russia; “devouring much flesh” means killing a lot people. . . . As for the fourth beast of iron, it is the American Empire that has now stamped the entire earth and controls the entire world with weapons and money.
As the prophets had warned their nations about the tribulations of the greatest Antichrist, the Prophet of Islam, MuhammadPBUH, also warned his nation when describing him: “All prophets before me described the Antichrist to their nations, but I will describe him with a description that no one else has given. He is one-eyed.”147 It means that he will see with one eye and only look at whatever suits his interests, even at the expense of the blood of millions of people.
It has been mentioned that his military instrument is "a mountain of fire" and his economic instrument is "a mountain of food." The ProphetPBUH said: “He has a paradise and a fire. His fire is actually paradise and his paradise is fire. He has a mountain of bread and a river of water. . .“
Regarding his entry into Iraq (Babylon), Kaab said: "The first water the Antichrist will arrive at is Safwan, a Hill overlooking Basra.”149,150
All these descriptions apply to the Iron mountain (America) in the end times that DanielPBUH talked about. It is the Antichrist that God’s MessengerPBUHAP warned us not to be fascinated or deceived by. America entered Iraq precisely from Safwan Hill, and the Riser will send it to the fuel of fire.
We will now return to the understanding of the stone that God will use to stamp out all falsehood and establish the structure of truth in order to fill the earth with equality and justice after it had been filled with inequality and oppression.
