• He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8–10)

Imam Mahdi dan Masalah Penantian

by : Arif Mulyadi

KEPERCAYAAN pada konsep dan eksistensi Imam Mahdi agaknya sudah menjadi kepercayaan umum, baik di kalangan Islam maupun non-Islam, baik Ahlusunnah maupun Syi’ah. Hal ini dapat dibuktikan dari berbagai kajian ilmiah yang terbit di Tanah Air. Yang menjadi objek perselisihan di kalangan umat Islam adalah masalah penetapan identitas Imam Mahdi itu sendiri.

Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors (Chinese: 三皇五帝; pinyin: Sānhuáng wǔdì; Wade-Giles: San-huang wu-ti) were mythological rulers of China during the period from c. 2852 BCE to 2205 BCE, which is the time preceding the Xia Dynasty.

The actual translation of 帝 dì/dei⁵ is a problematic one in that it is most often translated using its modern sense, which did not arise until after the advent of an imperial state under Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇 Qínshĭhuáng/Cen⁴héi²wong⁴). Its original meaning, and the most likely translation thereof, is that of supreme being, a kind of Übermensch, rather than ‘emperor’. The character 帝 originally represented a shaman wearing a liturgical mantle.
