Mahdi's justice is considered to be the most valuable year-round adventure. One way of understanding this interpretation and recognizing its dimensions and depth is to look at the comprehensive definition of "human oppression" before its emergence because the concepts of "justice" and "installment" are replaced by "oppression" and "law". The category of "cruelty" in the case of both sects is divided into three categories: unpardonable oppression, nonviolent oppression and oppression. If we look at the nature of these three kinds of oppression, we find the root of all of them in the clear and secret polytheism of man with his neglect of monotheism, then justice after the emergence is the opposite of polytheism in monotheism and monotheism.The Age of Advent is the age of manifestation of the truth of monotheism and the emergence of truth in the universe, and the future of humanity will be religious, and the earth is for God's righteous servants. The path to achieving monotheism the traditions is the knowledge of the Imam.This article seeks to examine how humans come to the knowledge of monotheism through the knowledge of the Imam in the Age of Advent, and concludes that the knowledge of the Imam has both the knowledge of monotheism and its relevance. Although in the time of absence, it is possible to reach this knowledge; however, in the age of the emergence thst is the age of domination of guardianship religion on the universe, by the presence of the Imam will be realized, and the whole of man will be attained by his contribution to the knowledge of monotheism, and the Imam with the oral and practicable language causes to the monotheism's knowledge.

The "Raj'at" (which translates to "The Return"), as one of the significant theories regarding how Islam sovereignty continues after Imam Mahdi, has gained great attention among the Islamic intellectuals. The examination of different dimensions and aspects of this concept not only brings about a brightener image of the future, but also will diminish contenders' theories-some of which have already turned into a pretext for the misled and enemies to injure the Islam and Mahdaviat (Imam Mahdi Reappearance).The present study aimed to examine and assess reports on the Fourteen Infallibles' Raj'at in terms of their content evidentiary proof (dilalah). The results revealed that the reports on Raj'at on the basis of specific or general content evidentiary proof are divided into five groups: those which signify the pure Faithful Raj'at, those which prove the holy Prophet (Muhammad) Raj'at, those indicating the Commander of the Faithful (Imam Ali) Raj'at, and those which reveal Imam Hussain (the third Shia Imam) Raj'at.Moreover, the results proved that the frequency of hadiths on the Fourteen Infallibles' Raj'at is to the extent that the very concept of Raj'at is proved in terms of meaning succession (tava'tor). However, only 11 hadiths on Raj'at are considered as valid in terms of their chain of transmission (sanad). In the case that the general weakness of the hadiths within the "Mukhtasar-Al Bassair" in terms of their validity is removed, 10 hadiths can also be added to them.The data of the present study were collected through documentary method and analyzed through descriptive-analytical method.

In this paper, after the recognition of the complex, easy & unobstructive concept of spirituality, the widespread use of the term in religious language and its distortion, misunderstandings, misperceptions and various considerations and paradoxes is discussed. This article by using descriptive-analytical method refers to the various manifestations of the Last Time and emphasizes that spirituality is not rooted elsewhere except in religion. The findings shows that human being is a creature of meaning and “meaningfulness” is the essence of human existence and it is also an undeniable truth in human life which is not human made. Instead, the Man searches for it so that he Liberate himself from the “meaningless anxiety” and the loss of the spiritual knots. Spiritual affairs are tied in human tissue and life and the human spirit and concern for “Being” is the root of Spirituality. Although The Man sometimes finds himself temporary separated from spirituality, his tendency toward it, is also an important human advantage on the animal. Then , in this paper , the crisis of spirituality in The Last Time has been analyzed and its features and causes is mentioned .In Conclusion, how to talk about spirituality and its conditions in The Last Time by Looking forward to the Appearance{ of Imam Mahdi )PBUH( {with positive components is explained.

Accordingly, the most important achievements of his government in this paper are order, growth, arousal and spirituality.

The language of ethics, which is a universal, innate and desirable precept in all societies, is concerned the global ethics. The term "global ethics" is a collection of common principles’ unanimity amongst religions, cultures, public intuitions, the wisdom of the community, and universal expectations. Proponents of this theory have tried to incline societies to a moral life. The whole efforts of them were in the direction of moral convergence; however, this theory has not been much practical enough. Is it expected to achieve a consensus and moral agreement despite differences between approaches? Divine religions have brought such a promise, and Islam, especially Shi'ism, has paved the way for such a promise. A promise in which ethics will be globalized; as a result, the moral world will be reformed. The issue of this paper is to examine such a problem under teachings of Shi'ism regarding the reappearance of the Savior and the expansion of universal morality. Accordingly, the world which is portrayed at the time of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (May Allah hasten his reappearance) will be pure of any flaws and discordances. Something that globalization is indebted to is the language of ethics that Imam (AS) conduct the people via it, and this is a war that spreads the Mahdavi government. The nature, wisdom, and conduct of the Prophet (PBUH) are as reasons for the establishment of the divine government, has confirmed this.

The Pentecostal movement emerged in the 1990s, with the emphasis on the eschatological issue, the revelation of the Holy Spirit and the advent of the gifts, as a document of truth and sign of the coming of the Messianic age. Pentecostals believed that after seven years of suffering and tribulation, the eschatology and the Age of Appearance would begin and the church would meet its bride (Christ). Because of this, they began to evangelize with the age of advent. After decades of the beginning of the movement and the coming of Christ, a wave of disillusionment was formed among Pentecostals. Therefore, to control the situation, they presented a new interpretation of the Age of Advent. In the same vein, they adopted social, cultural, political, and economic approaches and practices to speed up Christ's return by providing the foundations for a comprehensive Christian church. This article attempts to challenge the formation of a cathedral and Pentecostal approaches with the descriptive-analytical method after the introduction of Pentecostal eschatology and its various dimensions.

Evolution ofQuality of Roj'ahfrom the Subjective Commentators' Perspective

Self-knowledge and wisdom refinement with each time of Qur'an reading will promote a commentator from the "worldly" state into an "ego-related" state, in which the commentator will obtain the inner layers of divine revelations and providea commentary of the Qur'an called anfosi(subjective) commentary. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this paper introduces subjective commentaryand prominent subjective commentators, and evaluates the quality of roj'ah(return) from the subjective point of view. There was no explanation for the quality of roj'ahuntil before the contemporary century, and the presented commentary was on the basis of Resurrection and how it occurred. It was in the current century that AllamehTabatabaitried to develop the bodily resurrection with roj'ah and Imam Khomeini (RA), AllamehHassanzadehAmoli, and AllamaJavadiAmoli explained the quality of roj'ah. The results of this research show that roj'ah is a bodily resurrection which started with IbnArabi's explanation for the egoand its characteristics and his influence on other commentators, and the questions and doubts related to it were answered in Hekmat-e Mota'aliSadraei (MollaSadra's Transcendent Wisdom). What can be implied from the perspective of subjective commentators is that roj'ah is possible with the material body, although, for the transcendent egos, roj'ah means return at any time and place to the material world, purgatory world and heavenly world and is possible with a body tailored to each world.

Christian Interpretations of the Signs of the End Times

per
Religious texts of Abrahamic Religions are replete with prophecies about a future which is filled with dramatic events and disasters. According to the most famous interpretation, these prophecies speak of the signs of the end times. However, a review of Christian exegetical works suggests that there is not a unanimous agreement among Christians in this respect and various Christian groups have understood these verses of the Bible in a different way. The Christian views in this regard can be classified into four groups/schools: allegorical interpretation, historicism, preterism, and futurism. These schools have been reviewed in this paper. In the introduction of each school, I will try to describe the main issues such as the general orientation, history, principles and exegetical methods. I will also refer to some of their advantages and disadvantages. In addition to this introduction, two issues have also been taken into account: the social and political context of each school and how it has considered the course of history, because socio-political situation and religious disputes have had a significant impact on the development and prevalence of exegetical views. Moreover, about the second coming of Jesus Christ and his reign on the earth, the advocates of each school have chosen a standpoint which is in harmony with other principles of the same school. Therefore, a meaningful correlation between the principles of each school and its view about the earthly kingdom of Christ could be demonstrated.

The most important geopolitical region around the world placed across the middle-east which has a vital role for the Apocalypse. Middle-east is a term that stands for the countries that placed between Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf which is the cross-road between three continents including Europe (by the side of Turkey), Asia and Africa (by the side of Egypt).The concept of Apocalypse also is one of the essential words used among the celestial religions in order to encourage their followers, when they are living under heavy pressures in the world, they will see a glittered future in front of them. That's why the word "Apocalypse" is a keyword among celestial religions particularly Islam, Christianity and Judaism so we can see many interpretations of their holy books about Apocalypse.There are many similarities between these religions on the future describing specially about the time when the Savior will be coming out of latency (or be born), but the most important thing is that we will see wars in that future based on these interpretations which will give a hand to the followers of these religions to go out form the darkness to a pure prosperity.This article is looking for an answer for this question: "What is the role of the middle-east in the Apocalypse wars from the eyes of the three religions and what similarities and differences we can find among the interpretations of this prospective event?"
