We are in week 4 of a comparison of Today's World Scenario to the Prophetic description of how the world will look in what Scriptures call the End Times. Thus far we have examined a number of incredible things which we will summarize in the end. The last of which involved a brief look at the coming Anti-Christ who would arise from the chaos with his main man, the False Prophet. And at how these two would rise to world power together. Today, we will look at simply amazing information in Scriptures and in the world which give powerful clues as to the identity of these two pawns of Satan and where and how these ominous figures will arise. Again, for those who were not here, Satan loves to mimic everything God does on this earth. And when Satan attempts to set up his kingdom in place of God's, he too will have a Trinity to mimic the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This Unholy Trinity will be comprised of Satan himself, the Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet.
Let's examine some details about Satan's two henchmen. Here is an accumulation of details concerning the coming Anti-Christ: He is portrayed in Revelation as a rider on a white horse, who comes in the End Times at the start of the Tribulation: Revelation 6:2. He comes as the greatest spiritual, political and military leader in the history of the world: Revelation 13:4. He comes in a time of chaos in the Middle East, and offers a long awaited Peace in a Seven Year Peace Treaty with Israel: Daniel 9:27. He makes his first appearance in an area of the world which encompasses parts of all of the previous Four World Empires which arose since the time of Daniel (Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman): Daniel 2:36-44, Daniel 7:7-12, Revelation 13:1-2. He makes a military move to take Jerusalem halfway through the seven years, desecrating the Temple and proclaiming he is god from Jerusalem: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4. He changes the calendar and the laws of the whole earth: Daniel 7:25. He targets and annihilates Jews and Christians particularly, with great hatred: Revelation 12:13-14, 17; Daniel 7:25. He will kill those who resist him as god by beheading: Revelation 20:4. He has an ally of the Unholy trinity to join him here in Jerusalem as one who does wonders and proclaims to the world that the Anti-Christ is god: Revelation 13:12-13. Now that we have an overview of many major aspect of the Anti-Christ's reign in the Tribulation, let's do a direct comparison to the facts of our world today; facts in culture, statistics and religion that paint an incredible picture. 1) The Muslim Religion is currently the fastest growing religion in the entire world. Muslims are now a majority in 49 countries worldwide. In the decades to come, they are projected to grow more than twice as fast as the population on earth—soon surpassing even Christianity. 2) Anti-Semitism is at a record high since WWII and growing worldwide. [Here is one U.S. Report from this very month.] [And one European report from this very month.] 3) Christians are the number one most persecuted group in the world. (BBC Report) 4) The Islamic Religion, almost inescapably shows us where and how the Antichrist and False Prophet will arise. The Muslim faith has two main sources of inspiration and teachings. The Qur'an and Ahadith (Plural for Hadith). The Qur'an, is the Muslim Holy Book, Sunahs or Ahadith, are narrative records of the sayings and customs of Mohammed. These writings are integrated into every nation that is at the Center Stage of the End Time Events in the Middle East, and the world; leading the way in Jewish and Christian persecution; growing exponentially worldwide; have writings in their eschatology which are so perfectly identical to the End Times Scenario to everything written in the Old and New Testament, that it is undeniable—even by their own scholars and teachers—except that they are written in complete reverse, and it is these writings which fuel and lead the middle east movement and the Muslim push for world dominance. Please listen to their own words, as they describe their coming messiah. In the Islamic Religion, there is an appointed spiritual leader position called an Imam. In Islamic Shia and Sunni, the 12th Imam is to be a spiritual savior of the world. In 868 or 869 A.D. a son, the Mahdi, was suppose to have been born to the 11th Imam and was sent into hiding under persecution. Shiites continue to believe he is alive and leading Muslims. Right now, around the world, Muslims believe Mahdi will rise as their messiah and redeemer in the end of times. Look at the comparison of this Shia messiah in the end times, to Antichrist (with many Qur’an and Hadith writings—all of this is documented in their writings). The Mahdi comes riding a white horse (Symbolic or literal). A number of Islamic Leaders have kept a white horse as a symbol of this status, just in case. Saddam Hussein had a mural painted in Baghdad, of him liberating Jerusalem on a white horse. "I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets (Bible). For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him…went forth conquering and to conquer. It is clear that this man is the Mahdi who will ride the white horse and judge by the Qur’an (with justice) and with whom will be men with marks of prostration on their foreheads." - Muhammad Ibn ‘Izzat and Muhammad ‘Arif in their book Al Mahdi and the End of Time. He comes as a spiritual and military giant who will lead a world revolution and establish a new world order under Allah. He will rise at a time of great turmoil and suffering. He will make a Seven Year Peace treaty with Israel, with a Jew of priestly lineage. The Mahdi will come to power in the Middle East (Black flag with the word, "Punishment" will be flag of Mahdi). He will conquer Israel and make his world headquarters in Jerusalem. He will rule for Seven years and then die. He will cause Islam to be the only religion in the world. He will establish Sharia Law and the Islamic Calendar worldwide. He will persecute Jews and Christians. He will behead those who resist his reign. He will discover ancient biblical manuscripts near the Sea of Galilee stating the Jews and Christians were wrong, and that Jesus is a Muslim prophet. He will amass a great army to defeat the coming antichrist. He will be joined by another who will point the world to him. The parallels are completely unavoidable—but our Scriptures were completed from 600 to over 2000 years before the words of Mohammed. Our Scriptures were written by more than 40 authors, over 1600 years, on 3 continents, in 3 languages, by people from every walk of life, in perfect unity, with scientific and medical knowledge beyond It's time, and thousands of prophecies, multitudes of which have already proven true, backed by Christian, Jewish and Secular history through thousands of years, with no historically or archeologically proven errors. The Quran, in comparison was written hundreds of years following the Bible and just revealed to one man. And although revealed by only one man in just 23 years, the Quran still has blatant historical errors, and has no fulfilled prophecies, and has scientifically inaccurate claims. But when you consider the writings of this book, knowing the massive growth and influence over all the world today, knowing the words now taught about end times, we no longer have to wonder what would drive multitudes to follow a religious tyrant to conquer the world in the name of a false religion? We no longer have to wonder how people could accept a man as a holy savior and rise up against God Himself when He Returns? We no longer have to wonder how Christians and Jews could be targeted by the new world order, out of all other people? We no longer have to wonder how people could accept the disappearance of millions? How about if they were the enemy of the new god?2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. As if that weren't enough, here is the icing on the cake. Remember when we said that the Anti-Christ would have another to join him? One who joins halfway through the Tribulation? At about the time he appears in Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount, to proclaim himself as god? The one with great power for signs and wonders? Who humbly points to the Anti-Christ, not himself, as god? Well as some of you may know, the Muslims believe very strongly in Jesus. There are many writings of Him in the Qur’an. They just adamantly reject that He was the Son of God. [“O People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to God nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God... So believe in God and in His Messengers, and do not say: ‘God is a Trinity.’ Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. For God is indeed (the only) One God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son...” - Quran 4:171. “And they say: ‘The Most Merciful (God) has taken (for Himself) a son.’ Assuredly you utter a hideous thing, whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins; That they ascribe unto the Most Merciful a son, when it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Merciful that He should take a son. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Merciful as a slave.” - Quran 19:88-93]. They do not believe that He was raised from the dead, or that He is the Savior. [“…They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but (another) was made to resemble him to them…” - Quran 4:157] They believe He was a misunderstood prophet of Allah, Who had another die in his place and ascended to Allah. Until his time to return to earth in the Last Days has arrived, where he will be the one to find the hidden writings near the Sea of Galilee which prove he was not the Messiah, and he will be the one to offer allegiance and worship to the Mahdi in Jerusalem—telling the Christians and Jews they were wrong, and to follow the Mahdi. ["Jesus will descend from heaven and espouse the cause of the Mahdi. The Christians and the Jews will see him and recognize his true status. The Christians will abandon their faith in his godhead." - Al-Sadr and Mutahhari] We read part of this earlier, now year who executes this action: ["The Son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just ruler; He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah (non-Muslim tax)." - Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Hadith Number 656]. He will be the one to lead the armies against the real coming Jesus Christ in the Last Battle, claiming the real Jesus is the false messiah. How exact does that fulfill the description of the False Prophet of Revelation, who points the world to the Anti-Christ? Now listen again closely to the incredible description God gave to us about this False Prophet in the Book of Revelation: Revelation 13:11-13. I personally checked every usage of the word, "Lamb" by John, in the entire Book of Revelation—not one time is it used for any other reason than to portray or refer to Jesus Christ. This False Prophet was shown to be a false image of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, in this passage, calling himself, and looking like, Jesus to the world, but speak with the poison of the dragon Satan himself! And just as Islam says, this False Prophet points everyone to their savior Mahdi the real Anti-Christ. In Islamic documentary, they claim Jesus appears in Jerusalem giving great signs and miracles to prove he is from Allah, and convince the world to join the Anti-Christ. Just looking at current world events as compared to Scriptures written from 2000 to 2700 years ago, we find all in one generation: Israel scattered across the earth for 2000 years and returned as predicted. Russia, Iran, and many other nations in the right place, with the right alignments and military powers to begin the war at the start of the Tribulation. A world in need of peace in the Middle East. A world economic system in place, which could match the one predicted 2000 yrs ago. Technology to fulfill impossible predictions of telecasts in Last Days. Major shifts in hatred towards Jews and Christians worldwide. Islam becoming the fastest growing religion worldwide. This surging religion, which just happens to be the very religion of every country involved in the scenario, and just happens to be that fastest growing religion in the world, has an exact description of the Anti-Christ as their long awaited ruler of the world—which pushes it's believers not only to embrace world dictatorship under a false god, but pushes them to prepare for war with the real God just as all predicted over 2000 years ago. And none of it can begin to happen until we are removed. You tell me. How true do Scriptures look to you now? How close do you think we are? Revelation 22:12-14, 20.
