Mamdani and the Madhi - Ep. 860 - February 27, 2026

New York, Iran, and end-times claims are colliding fast. In Ep. 860, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland lay out why theology always turns into action, and why that matters right now. This episode tracks the headlines through a biblical lens, from rising tension with Iran to growing anti-Semitism, and then to New York City's new mayor, Mamdani. Along the way, the conversation connects Islam's end-times expectations (the Madhi, also spelled Mahdi) with the kind of deception Jesus warned about in Matthew 24. The goal is simple, spot the pattern, stay grounded in Scripture, and don't get numbed by the noise. Topics covered:  * Iran, war risk, and the spiritual story behind the conflict  * Dominionism, replacement theology, and where the ideas overlap  * The "hidden imam" and 12ver Shiite end-times teaching  * False prophets, discernment, and why signs and wonders require caution  * Why Christians can't ignore Politics when leaders shape culture and public life Referenced in the discussion: an article from Prophecy Newswatch (also shared via kingdompropheticsociety.org).
