which cannot be predicted; and if the sign is described in this way, it is evidence of its complete change of the course of history, as it overturns constants, transforms solids, and brings about what was thought to be eternal and everlasting. The phenomenon of the two revolutions is a sign that emerges at the beginning of the twenty-first century in the appropriate time and place.

What do the two revolutions mean? The Tunisian revolution was mentioned in another quatrain, and its name lies in the emergence of the first spark, and its connection to the appearance, which is not mentioned in the noble hadiths. If the matter is related to the appearance of the Mahdi, then it seems that what is meant is the Egyptian and Yemeni revolution, where the Yemeni appears, the true one, and the Egyptian appears, the supporter and the helper. Regarding Muhammad bin Muslim, he said: An Egyptian and a Yemeni will emerge before the Sufyani. The change in the two countries is their preparation to receive the era of appearance. Therefore, he said: Le mobil signe à son endroit si ingere Meaning that the influential sign enters its appropriate place in Egypt and Yemen. When the change is completed, the world will proceed to its inevitable end, and political, natural, and astronomical events will accelerate the appearance.

En l’an cinq cens octante plus et moins, On attendra le siecle bien estrange : En l’an sept cens, et trois cieux en tesmoings, Que plusieurs regnes un à cing feront change.

In the year 580, more or less, we will truly await a strange century. In the year 700, and three heavens as witnesses, many kingdoms will change from one to five.

There are many quatrains that speak of a pivotal and decisive century in human history. The poet refers to it by the demonstrative pronoun: "this" or calls it the "new century."
