‘Give it here,’ Walid said, dipping his head towards the phone. ‘Hand it over.’ He ignored the shaking hand that passed him the handset. Too late to get rid of him now, he thought.

The phone was already ringing as he raised it to his ear.

‘THE number is active,’ the ASIO tech said. ‘Tracking is up. We are now live.’

Clarke grabbed his radio. ‘Samurai to Ronin One. Tracking is live. I repeat, tracking is live. Stand by for orders.’

‘Ronin One to Samurai. Copy. Standing by.’

The flashing green circle that had suddenly appeared on Clarke’s screen covered the entire map. Clarke turned to the technician. ‘Isn’t that thing supposed to be a dot?’

‘We’ve only just begun triangulating the signal, sir,’ the technician replied. ‘It will get smaller as we close in.’

Clarke remained hunched over the screen, watching the circle slowly shrink. Right then it was a green beach-ball bouncing over the entire prison, and the phone could have been anywhere in the jail.

‘Come on!’ Clarke rode the circle like a racehorse. On-off, on-off, the ball returned again and again to the screen, getting a little smaller with every bounce.

Clarke picked up the radio when the circle was half its original size and positioned on the right-hand side of his screen.

‘Samurai to Ronin One,’ Clarke barked. ‘Move to the Echo Gate. I repeat, move to the Echo Gate and wait for further orders.’

‘Ronin One to Samurai,’ the call came back. ‘Copy. We are on the move.’

JAX locked his cell then grabbed his iPhone and laptop. Back on his bed and connected, he went straight to his search bar. He typed in ‘And he shall rise 93:241’ and pressed enter. The screen filled. Jax clicked on the first result.

And he shall rise on the day he was born, scorched altars, numbering his resurrection, burned. 93:241

Jesus Will Return with Imam Mahdi: The Return of Jesus in Islam

Muslim scholars, irrespective of their denominations, are quite unanimous that upon the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), Prophet Jesus will also descend to Earth from the heavens. During that time, Jesus and Imam Mahdi will spread peace and justice on earth and the earth will attain unprecedented peace, justice and welfare. Jesus will be like the minister for Imam Mahdi and his main mission will be to correct the dogma of Trinity and to clarify his humane personality and servitude to God.

The Islamic doctrine of the descent of Jesus to Earth is derived from two Ayah in the Quran and many hadith which are narrated by both Shi’a and Sunni narrators.
