Every religion has its “final coming”. The Kalki avatar of the Hindus, Messiah of the Jews and Christians is the equivalent of the Mehdi of the muslims.

The final coming is a hope that every religion lives by to offer its adherents reason to belive it will be all alright in the end. Whatever pains and injustices of life you are suffering now, will be avenged and wiped out in time by divine intervention.

Ofcourse, people misuse this to their political / military end. As your article says, it has been used in the past, and will be used in the future. Lets just be aware of it, so we can deal with it when it arises !
