The hidden twelfth Imam is the Messianic Mahdi of Iranian Shi’ite Twelvers. Lately media has been allowing information for Iranian perusal that the Mahdi will return at the Spring Equinox to begin the battle to subjugate the enemies of Allah to Mohammedanism.
This sounds like a theological belief similar to oft wrong Christians that predict the return of Christ in recent years. They have been incorrect for the Word of God says that day will not be known by humanity until it happens.
The concern I have with Iran pushing the Spring Equinox date as a time the Mahdi will manifest in the world smacks of Iranian Ayatollahs and Ahmadinejad exploiting the timing by initiating some kind of global mischief using the Mahdi as justification. Personally I believe this is the reason for the existence of the Iranian nuclear enrichment program. That program will lead to WMD. The WMD will lead to the chaos that Twelvers believe will precede the emergence of the Hidden Imam, aka the Mahdi.
