Mahdi, Qiyamah, The Messianic Age And Boiling Oceans

Over the last four years, more than 200,000 people have died in the E.U. due to extreme heat.

The world’s oceans are boiling and rising at an accelerating pace as Qiyamah predicted. Warming seawater is the biggest factor, while melting glaciers and polar ice sheets are increasingly pouring more water into the oceans each year. Earth’s oceans reached their highest heat levels on record in 2025, absorbing vast amounts of excess energy from the atmosphere. This steady buildup has accelerated since the 1990s and is now driving stronger storms, heavier rainfall, and rising sea levels.

While surface temperatures fluctuate year to year, the ocean’s long-term warming trend shows no sign of slowing. The ocean acts as Earth’s primary heat sink. More than 90% of the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases ends up in the ocean rather than the atmosphere or land. Because of this, ocean heat content provides one of the clearest and most reliable measures of long-term climate change that is Planet Earth’s new Armageddon.

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere much more quickly than previously thought. Nitrous oxide is the third-most-important long-lived greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane, and it’s currently the dominant ozone-depleting substance produced by human activities.

And global cancer cases have surged dramatically, doubling since 1990 and reaching 18.5 million new diagnoses in 2024. Deaths have also climbed to over 10 million a year, with the steepest increases hitting low- and middle-income countries.

Without urgent action, researchers project more than 30 million new cases annually by 2050. Alarmingly, around four in ten cancer deaths are tied to preventable risks such as smoking, alcohol use, poor diet, and high blood sugar.

It is widely accepted that human activities are the primary drivers of global warming. However, the debate over how best to address these issues is far from settled. In political circles, “green growth”—the concept of making economic activities more sustainable—has emerged as the most popular solution. The idea of green growth is to continue expanding populations and economies while minimizing environmental harm.

However, critics argue that this approach has failed to curb climate change. Despite international efforts since the 1970s, carbon emissions and populations have continued to rise. As the World Inequality Report reveals, nearly half of fuel emissions occurred after 1990. Incremental policy changes, technological innovations and shifts in consumer behavior have not been enough to reverse this trend.

Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam has a powerful eschatological strain. It anticipates an end to the world as we know it; a final historical confrontation between good and evil; after which human life will be transformed. As the Qur’an states: ”Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews, Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, and do righteous good deeds, shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”. (2:62 and 5:69) Notice that the Qur’an specifically stresses religious pluralism in God’s judgment.

As ibn Babuya writes in Thawab ul-A’mal, “The Apostle of God said: `There will come a time for my people when there will remain nothing of the Qur’an except its outward form, and nothing of Islam except its name, and they will call themselves by this name even though they are the people furthest from it. “The mosques will be full of people but they will be empty of right guidance. The religious leaders (Fuqaha) of that day will be the most evil religious leaders under the heavens; sedition and dissension will go out from them and to them will it return.” More is not better.

Secularists believe that these apocalyptic visions of the future are absurd, although many secularists themselves fervently believe that run away genetic modification of food and/or extreme climate change is going to doom all of human civilization in the next generation.

The basic difference between the pessimistic, humanist secularists and the religious optimists is that those who believe in the God of Abraham also believe that God’s inspiration guarantees that the spiritual forces of good will overcome all the world’s evils at the end of days; and justice, peace and religious pluralism will prevail.

Or as Prophet Micah envisions it: (4:1-5) “In the end of days the mountain of the Lord’s Temple will be established as the highest mountain; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. Many (not all) nations will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. who will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’

Torah will be broadcast from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. God will judge between many (not all) peoples and will settle disputes among powerful nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into ploughs, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more. Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken. All the nations will walk in the name of their gods, and we (Jews, Christians and Muslims) will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

The classical rabbinic exegetical text Pirkei deRabbi Eliezer, attributed to the late first century Jewish sage, Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha, contains references that prophesied the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple not just by Jews; but also by bnei Yishmael, (the sons of Ishmael). The Pirkei deRabbi Eliezer final chapter 30, lists 15 things that the sons of Prophet Ishmael will do in the holy land at the End of Days. One is particularly interesting: “Rabbi Ishmael said: The sons of Ishmael will do fifteen things at the end of days… They will rebuild the breaches in the wall of the beyt hamikdash (bayt al maqdis); and build a broadcast structure near the central sanctuary of the Holy Temple”

A virtual reality broadcast station in a small physical building on some open space near the Dome of the Rock over 600 feet North of the Al Aqua Mosque. Millions of Muslims can join every day with tens of thousands of Muslims pilgrims praying and circling around the cube-shaped Kaaba at Islam’s most sacred site; Jews would be able to strap on a headset and enter the holy city of Jerusalem, and see and hear Jewish prayers at the Western Wall, and someday God willing, as broadcast from the virtual reality Jerusalem Temple, without ever leaving their own homes.

Thus, the Bible and the Qur’an’s final judgement is the self-destruction of violent, hate filled terrorism and narrow ‘my way or death’ philosophy and the victory of kindness love and religious pluralism. There will be no peace until both Palestinians and Israelis declare the chant ‘From the river to the sea’ becomes an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, and not death, destruction, or hate.

We can make it truly aspirational by making it focus on both peoples first, and the land second. “From the river to the sea Palestinians and Israelis should be freed of hatred and suffering by ‘a two state for two peoples sharing of the land peacefully solution.’” And Palestinians and Israelis will say that the other has a right of return.

This era will come about when Israelis and Palestinians make a long lasting two state partnership of peace; thus fulfilling the 2700 year old vision of Prophet Isaiah: “In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel  will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing upon the heart. The LORD of Hosts will bless them saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”(Isaiah 19:23-5)
