With al-Masih having escaped, an international incident is brewing as the people he led to Israel’s border starve; when news of his escape reaches them, they receive further resolve to stay. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency steps in to help the Israeli authorities find al-Masih and figure out who he is, led by Eva Geller (Michelle Monaghan). After Dahan thinks he sees him, but instead it’s just a look-alike, al-Masih resurfaces at the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza (also known as the Temple Mount or Dome of the Rock) in Jerusalem. He preaches a sermon to the crowd, including apocalyptic phrases like “history has ended”. His sermon is interrupted by the Israeli police, who move to capture al-Masih, but fail to do so after a gun is heard to go off and it seems a boy is shot. Al-Masih lays hands on the boy, who rises unharmed. A bloody bullet is shown to the crowd. Many Muslims view this as a miracle. Al-Masih then disappears into the crowd.
