Rapture according to Prophet Isaiah

And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones. (Isaiah 30:30 NASB)

This is definitely a scripture portraying the return of Jesus. Because it says the ‘Arm’ of the Lord descends. The word ‘descending’ might ring bells to most of us because it reminds about one of the most taught and read scripture in the entire Bible. You guessed it ! It’s 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17. It’s says;

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

See, Both Isaiah and Apostle Paul are talking about the same event. It’s the return of our Lord and gathering of believers unto him. Even pre-tribulation theorists admit the fact that this is talking about the same event popularly called as the Rapture of the Church.

The similarities in these scriptures are astonishing.

1) First of all there is ‘Voice of authority’ in Isaiah. Similarly there is a ‘Shout‘ from Lord in 1 Thessalonians. It means that Our Lord Jesus will come with a Mighty voice, a Shout ! Clearly it won’t be a secret event.

2) Secondly, In Isaiah the Arm of the Lord will descent from Heaven. Throughout the Bible Jesus, the Son of God is referred to as the Arm of the Lord. There are numerous scriptures to validate this statement. Some of them are given below:

“I have made the earth, the men and the beasts which are on the face of the earth by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to the one who is pleasing in My sight”. (Jeremiah 27:5)

God made everything by his arm, his Son, Jesus. John Chapter 1 confirms this by calling Jesus the Creator of all.

“You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted”. (Psalms 89:13)

Psalmist says that God’s arm, his right hand is exalted. We know it was Jesus who was exalted to the right hand of God from Acts 2:33.

“Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear”.

There are many more examples. Definitely Jesus, The Messiah is God’s right hand.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 Lord Jesus descends from Heaven. He is coming down for the Church. It doesn’t say that he touches the earth. Rather, believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air. It’s the rapture of the church, plain and simple.

Now we have proved both Isaiah 30:30 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 are talking about the same event, Rapture of believers. No we are going to study when the Rapture occurs.

Now consider the first scripture(Isaiah 30:30) again. It says what happens when Jesus  returns for the church.

“And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones“.

When Jesus descends, Fire and hailstones will be rained down to earth. This is an important insight! In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John also saw the same event. But When ? When the 7th seal was broken and the first trumpet was sounded  !

“The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up”.
(Rev 8:7 NKJV)

This is further proof that there is NO Pre-tribulation rapture. Believers will go through Tribulation. Rapture happens at the breaking of 7th seal when first trumpet is sounded ! You might think that Jesus returns with the Trumpet of God, not with the Trumpet of Angels.(1 Thess 4:16), In Revelation 8:7, it is the angel who is sounding the trumpet. There can be a little bit of confusion here. But it will be gone if we read the entire chapter carefully. Consider Revelation 8:2;

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

Trumpets belongs to God. They are his! But all of the 7 trumpets are ‘given’ to the angels to be sounded. This is a key scripture.

Blessings!

Replacement Theology, Misguided Theology?

REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY, FALSE DOCTRINE?

 

We at Revelation Revealed support & pray for Israel. There are many new people here, and many disparaging comments have been made about God’s chosen people. We believe scripture and prophecy which is Jesus/Yeshua. God tells us we are to pray for the Jewish people, and to bless them. Also, God IS a Zionist. Don’t believe me? Do a search on Zion/Sion in the bible. If people took the time to read their bibles, specifically Genesis 12, Genesis 15 (God’s covenant with Abraham that still stands), Romans 11, Zech. 12 & 14, Joel 3 and many other scriptures about Israel they would know that God’s covenant is still with his chosen people, and they are the reason for the Tribulation, to bring them to repentance. This is all about the Jewish people.

 

Jesus returns the minute they repent and accept Jesus as Savior, and not a minute before, which is another reason why the false pre-trib rapture is a lie from satan:

Matt 23: 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

 

As Gentiles we should not boast against his chosen people, God issues us a serious warning, in fact he tells us to fear him:

 

Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

 

God will pour out his spirit on his chosen people, and they will be saved:

 

Zechariah 12: 7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Replacement theology is from the devil. God is very clear in scripture, his covenant is with his chosen people forever. Would God be righteous if he broke a covenant? No, he would be a tyrant. We are grafted into this covenant as gentiles. We do not take over the covenant he made with his chosen people, but we are grafted into it, he is very clear about this: He says “my covenant unto them”. His covenant is forever, it always stood with his chosen people, and always will.

Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.

 

Where in the Bible did God retract the promise he made to his chosen people? Nowhere in Bible is there such a scripture because he didn’t, it’s an eternal covenant, God’s ways are not our ways, he doesn’t break covenants.

 

God’s covenant with Israel in Genesis 15 is unconditional. As I said, he is righteous, he cannot break his covenant with his chosen people. Christians (gentiles) are blessed to be grafted into the tree of life. The Jews were blinded in part so that we gentiles could be grafted in. We should thank his chosen people!

 

When Jesus returns on the Day of the Lord; the Second Coming, he will pour out his spirit on his chosen people, and they will believe. They will mourn when they realize they pierced their Messiah. In Matt 23 Jesus tells us when he will return…. When they repent and accept his as Lord & Savior, and not until then. This is about redemption of his chosen people, it always has been. Satan has tried with 7 different empires to destroy them, and has never succeeded, God won’t allow it, but uses his enemies to bring his people to salvation. The devil has one more try with the revived Turkish Ottoman Empire, the last (8th) Beast System of Revelation.

 

Evidence for An Islamic Antichrist, Part – II

In the last article we discussed how the Bible foretold that the coming Antichrist & last Beast system will be Islamic in nature. If you haven’t seen that, I recommend you to read and continue. Evidence for An Islamic Antichrist, Part – I.

Today we are going to explore more proofs that the Little Horn in the Book of Daniel will be the Caliph/Mahdi of Islam.

Here we go !

1. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF ANTICHRIST’S RISE :

The Holy Bible has different names for Antichrist. Surprisingly the word ‘Antichrist’ itself appears only four times in the scripture! All of them are in John’s 1st and 2nd letters. But Bible has different names for him:   The King of Babylon, Prince of Tyre, King of the North, The Assyrian, Man of Sin, Man of Lawlessness, Little Horn etc. Like many prophecy teachers claim, Will the Antichrist arise out of Europe or America ? What does Bible say about this? Lets travel through the scriptures !

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Revelation 13:2)

The Beast is the Empire of Antichrist, not Antichrist himself. It has the appearance of a Leopard. It has the feet of a Bear. How can we know what Leopard and Bear means ? We have to allow scripture to interpret scripture !

And behold another beast, a second, like to a Bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a Leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (Daniel 7:5,6)

The Bear is the Medo-Persian Kingdom which conquered Babylon. And the very next empire to conquer the Persian empire was Alexander’s Greek Kingdom, the Leopard must be ancient Greece (modern day Turkey).

Both the Persian and Grecian empire were located in Middle east. Both of them ruled Israel and Jerusalem. Modern nations now falling under this area are overwhelmingly ISLAMIC!  Satan, The Great Dragon will give power and authority to this beast when it comes and its location will be in the MIDDLE EAST, not Europe or America. So Antichrist arising from the Islamic Middle East will most certainly be Islamic.

2. METHOD OF EXECUTION :

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)

John saw souls of a particular group of people who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus Christ. They were killed because they had not received the mark of the beast nor worshipped him. These are none other than Christians. Faithful believers at the time of end will not bow down to Antichrist even if it cost their lives. Remember Jesus said in Mark 8:35, 

‘For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.’  

Testimony about Jesus is the Gospel itself ! Jesus foretold that whoever dies for him and his Gospel will save their lives forever ! Apostle John copied this word to word from Mark chapter 8. More than that, there is a WARNING from our Lord here. If any follower of Jesus wants to save his/her life temperorily by worshipping the Antichrist, then he/she will lose their salvation FOREVER.

Have you ever wondered why beheading is the method  used for killing Christians in last days? Because its the very part and parcel of Islamic heritage ! If there is one governing entity that practices beheading as a primary method of execution even in this 21st century, that’s ISLAM! You have all seen how 21 Egyptian Christians were killed by Islamic State terrorists at Libya’s shores. By beheading them! Its the Islamic way to kill one’s enemies. Allah himself advised Muslims to behead their enemies wherever they find.

‘When ye encounter the infidels (Christians and Jews), strike off their heads’ (Koran, Sura 47:4)

3. BY PEACE HE SHALL DESTROY MANY :

Through cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart, and by peace he shall destroy many.  He shall even rise against the Prince of Princes; but he shall be broken without human means. (Daniel 8:23-25)

‘ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE’ – I bet you have heard this a hundred times! If you ask a Muslim about Islam, they will say that Islam means peace. But is this correct? Simple answer would be NO. Islam does not mean Peace, Islam means Submission (Sharia Law). There are at least  109 scriptures in Koran which encourages Muslims to wage Jihad against Unbelievers.

For example,

‘fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war’ (Koran, Surah 9:5)

Can you believe this?! A god who forces his people to lie

Besides, Jihad is mandatory for every Muslim and Allah calls those who doesn’t fight as hypocrites.

Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”  (Koran 2:216)

Islam is the only religion in the world which calls for the murder of those who leave the faith. Punishment for leaving Islam in Saudi Arabia and Iran (Sharia ruled nations) is DEATH!

” I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Messenger, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” (Bukhari Volume 9 #57)

Sounds peaceful to you? Sorry! I’m not buying it!

4. CHANGING SET TIMES AND LAWS :

He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time. (Daniel 7:25)

Antichrist will speak against YHWH, The God Of Israel and persecute his people. Then he will try to change Set times and Laws. Please note that Antichrist may or may not be successful in changing times and laws. He will at least attempt to change them. Which religious and political entity in our days wants to upset established times and laws? You guessed it! Its ISLAM!

In the West, Many Muslims want to establish Sharia law by toppling democracy. They believe Sharia is given by Allah and it must replace all man-made laws. According to a recent poll conducted by Centre For Security Policy among Muslims in America, 51% of them want Sharia to be the law of the land in the US ! These are shocking numbers indeed. In many western European nations like France, Britain etc there are ‘Muslim No-Go’ zones where local police has no control. These are dangerous Muslim enclaves where no native European want to go. To conquer land wherever they go and to establish Sharia there is considered as mandatory duty by many Muslims.

Bible says that Mahdi/Antichrist will attempt to establish sharia worldwide. Most likely he will succeed in doing this only in Middle East. But we will have to wait and watch.

We have tried our best to keep you informed about the coming Islamic Antichrist. Unfortunately majority of the Church is still waiting for a ‘New world Order’ or a ‘One World Religion’ and are blind to Islam. Islam and only Islam matches all biblical attributes needed for the Beast System. Antichrist, His religion, His power base all will be Islamic and Middle Eastern centric.

Evidence For An Islamic Antichrist Part – 1

If you are a regular visitor at our blog or Facebook page ‘Revelation Revealed’, then you would be certain that we stick to the theory that the Antichrist, long foretold by various prophets of the Bible will be Muslim. We strongly believe that the Mahdi of Islam is the Antichrist of the Bible. Just like Jews and Christians await for their Messiah, Muslims also are anticipating for a savior like figure known as Imam Al Mahdi, whom they believe will redeem and bring Islam to the top of the world. Many devout Muslims have asked themselves this question, ” If Islam is the one true religion of God, why have we been playing a second fiddle to Christianity all these 1400 years? “. This Mahdi along with Islamic version of Jesus will ‘break the cross’ and kill Kafirs (unbelievers) according to Islamic writings. Almost every Muslim scholar agrees that once Mahdi arises, he along with Islamic Jesus will appeal to all Christians to embrace Islam or otherwise be killed.  If we have faith, we should not fear. Satan wants us to fear, which is why Islam is so violent.

 2 Timothy 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Our Lord also foretold that during last days many will come in his name and shall deceive many.

Mathew 24:5 – For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

But how can we be 100 % sure that Antichrist will be Muslim? What is the Bible’s take on it? Following are some of the reasons for our assertion:-

1. BREAKING OF THE COVENANT :

“And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”  Daniel 9: 27 (NASB)

From this scripture, it is evident that Antichrist will confirm a Covenant with many for one week. Week in Hebrew means ‘Shabua’ or a period of seven years. But after just 3.5 years he will break the covenant and put end to sacrifice and grain offering. It simply means that Antichrist will not keep his promise and will desolate the holy place.

In the Muslim view, treaties with Infidels are NOT to be obeyed. They are to be entered into when Muslims feel that they are at the moment too weak to do otherwise, and where they sense that they can gain, in the end, by entering temporarily into a treaty with Infidels. For Muslims, every treaty with Infidels is merely a “truce” treaty, a “hudna.” The very idea that Muslims could recognize the permanence of an Infidel nation-state goes against everything in Islam. This is exactly what Antichrist is going to do. It’s no surprise that he breaks the 7 year treaty just after 1260 days or 42 months, because he obeys Allah and is a Muslim. That’s the time he needs for a final assault against Israel and Jerusalem.

2. ISLAMIC LUST FOR JERUSALEM :

Far be it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son. ”  Have you ever heard this phrase? This is one among many inscriptions that we can see on the Islamic Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and Christianity. This is the place where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac. This is the place where God’s Temple once stood. This is the place where Jesus was crucified and will one day rule the whole world. Satan knows what his end would be. He knows Eternal fire is his reward. But he is trying to upset God’s plan by using Muslims as puppets. Satan wants to prevent Jesus returning and reigning from Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the city God has chosen. King David said ” If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill “. That’s the passion of Jewish people towards that city. Not just Jews and Christians, Muslims also consider Jerusalem as their holy place even though Jerusalem isn’t even mentioned in Koran once. Muslims believe that this is from where Mohammad ascended to heaven. In 1967, Jews recaptured Jerusalem from Muslims. After almost 2,000 years Jerusalem was once again under Jewish custody. To Arabs, this failure is their ‘Greatest Disaster’ in the history of Islam. Bible foretold that Jerusalem would be the focal point of world conflict during last days.

On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. (Zechariah 12:3)

Jesus also foretold us that Jerusalem will be trampled by gentiles.

 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)

Now we only need to know who these invading people are. Are they Europeans as popular Bible teachers say?

Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. (Zechariah 12:2)

Key word is Surrounding Peoples. Who are the people group that surrounds Israel on every side? They are Muslims ! You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. They are the same people who call for the death of Israel day and night, not Europeans.

3. WORSHIPING THE DRAGON :

People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” (Revelation 13:4)

Here, we can see that the people will worship the Dragon/Satan which gives Power to the beast empire. Who are these people that worship the beast? How can we recognize them? The word Worship is the key. When we Christians hear the word worship we often think about singing hymns and shouting hallelujah ! But that’s not what Revelation 13:4 is trying to convey. The Greek word used for Worship here is ‘proskuneo’ (STRONGS G4352). It means ” To fall upon the knees and touch the ground with forehead as an expression of profound reverence “. This is exactly how Muslims pray to Allah ! Muslims will worship Satan/ Allah for reviving their Caliphate. An Islamic Caliphate is simply a political and religious Super State which contains almost all Islamic nations under one man, the Caliph or Khilafah in Arabic, ruled according to sharia.

4. DENIAL OF FATHER AND SON :

Who is the liar, except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. (1 John 2: 22)

Christ in Hebrew means Messiah, who is the anointed one from God. The Messiah is God himself as he is called YHWH, Our Righteousness.

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He will reign as king and act wisely And do justice and righteousness in the land. “In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell securely; And this is His name by which He will be called, ‘The LORD our righteousness.’  (Jeremiah 23: 6)

Messiah Yeshua exists with God from Eternity to Eternity !

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Micah 5: 2)

So whoever denies the deity of Messiah and the Fatherhood of God is the ANTICHRIST.  Antichrist system MUST deny the Father and the Son. May people think that Pope is the Antichrist and RCC will be his institution. But that is incorrect. The Roman Catholic Church believes that Jesus is the Christ. They believe that God is the Father of his people. They believe that God is triune. They believe that Jesus died for the sins of the world. But Islam DENIES ALL OF THESE !

a) Islam denies that Jesus died on the cross:-

And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them.  (Surah 4: 157a)

  And lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. But Allah took him up unto Himself.  (Surah 4:157)

b) Islam denies that God is a Father:-

And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: “We are the children of Allah and His loved ones.” Say: “Why then does He punish you for your sins?” Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all). (Surah 5:18)

c) Islam denies that Jesus is the Son Of God :-

The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ( Surah 9:30, Yusif Ali)

d) Islam denies Trinity :-

They have certainly disbelieved who say, “Allah is the third of three.” And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (Surah 5:72-73)

Now tell me, if Islam isn’t the Antichrist system, then what is? The information I have provided here is only a fraction of what Bible really has to say. If God wills we will be adding more information to the blog as we could. And do not forget to subscribe to our blog if you like. Blessings !

Will Antichrist defeat and rule all nations including US ?

Many Christians think that the Little horn the Antichrist will literally rule the whole world from America in the west to Australia in the east. There are people who think that every last nation of this world will go against Jerusalem to destroy it. But is this true? Is this Biblical? What does the Word of God has to say about this controversial subject? Let us open our Bibles and examine!

1. God will raise up Powerful Military nations against Antichrist before he returns:

For many people its hard to swallow. But this is true. There are many references where Bible says that Nations will be at war against the Antichrist and his army. Consider Ezekiel 28:7,8-

” I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor. They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently in the heart of the seas. “

See, here God says that he will bring foreigners against the Antichrist. These nations are the ‘terrible’ and ‘terrifying’. It simply means these are nations with a Mighty Military force. They are terrible in battle and Most Powerful. So if God raises up nations against Antichrist to fight against him, we can definitely conclude that he CAN’T rule the whole earth.

2. Antichrist will make war against many nations:

Daniel 11:39-

” He will attack mighty fortresses, aided by a foreign deity. To those who recognize him he will grant considerable honor. He will place them in authority over many people, and he will parcel out land for a price. “

See, Antichrist will attack “Mighty Fortresses” using a foreign diety. Common sense would tell us that if all nations are going to be under his rule, why are nations at war with him? So he cannot possibly rule whole world.

3. There are nations which will ‘Escape’ from Antichrist’s grip:

Daniel 11:41-

” Then he will enter the beautiful land. Many will fall, but these will escape: Edom, Moab, and the Ammonite leadership.”

Parts of Edom, Moab and Ammon are all located in modern day Jordan. So from this verse, we can understand that Jordan will escape from from his armies. We dont know how but Bible says it and we believe it!

4. According to Prophet Micah God will raise seven shepherds and eight principle Men:

Micah 5:5,6-

” He will give us peace. Should the Assyrians try to invade our land and attempt to set foot in our fortresses, we will send against them seven shepherds, make that eight commanders. They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, the land of Nimrod with a drawn sword. Our king will rescue us from the Assyrians should they attempt to invade our land and try to set foot in our territory. ”

Assyrian, specifically Turkey is none other than where the coming Beast System will be . When he invades Israel, God will send seven shepherds (Nations) and eight Principle men (Leaders). This is furthur proof that Antichrist will not rule all nations.

5. Understanding the meaning of word ‘Earth’ :

Let us consider Revelation 13:3-4, 13:8, 13:12, 13:17 and 17:8. In each and every single one of these verses, however, the word for “earth“ is the Greek word “ge“, which will often be referring to “a country, land enclosed within fixed boundaries, a tract of land, territory, region”. Moreover Old testament prophets like Zechariah, Joel, Ezekiel etc shows us that Antichrist’s rule will be limited geographically, and they point towards Surrounding nations (Muslims) as the people group who will gather against Jerusalem to destroy it, not every nation of the Earth.

6. Only Jesus can rule the whole world:

We have travelled through different scriptures of Bible which all states that Antichrist’s rule will be limited to Middle east and N. Africa. He cannot and will not rule the whole world. Next time if someone says to you that America will be defeated by Antichrist, Be ready to say a big NO! ‘ Hello, This isn’t what my Bible says. I respectfully disagree! ‘. One day a Jew will rule the whole world. Only Jesus will be able to rule all nations. Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Cyrus of Persia, Alexander of Greece, Ceaser of Rome, Ottoman Muslims etc have all tried to accomplish this dream and they all failed miserably. Our God will reign over ‘ALL NATIONS’ from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 9:6,7-

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

God Bless All of You !

Who is Allah?

Allah is Ba’al (satan), pagan worship that goes back to ancient Babylon. satan has used many different names in many different cultures, but it’s the same old pagan demonic god. Interestingly enough, one name for Allah was “Sin”.

People who think that Rome is where the beast comes from fail to realize this goes back to Ancient Babylon, it’s crescent moon worship, Ba’al was the “desert moon god”. Islam worships the same desert moon god now that they did in Babylon. Rome is not the beast system. Jesus said in 1John2:22 that Anti-Christ is denying the Father & the So. Even though the Catholic church has idols (we all do), they are not Anti-Christ.

Satan has tried to destroy the Jewish people since God made his covenant with them. He’s used 7 different empires, Egypt, Assyrian, Babylonian, Greece (Turkey), Persian (Iran), Rome, and the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was the only empire to conquer all the previous empires, and it will be the 8th and final empire, the empire that will bring forth the Anti-Christ/Mahdi.

How do we know? Ezekiel 38, Meshach & Tubal, where Gog is from is ancient Turkey (Assyria). Daniel 11 speaks of “The King of the North”, which is North of Israel. If you draw a line straight North of Israel, it goes directly through Ankara, Turkey, which is the capital of Turkey. He comes out of the 4 divided Kingdoms of Alexander the Great, specifically Ancient Assyria, which is Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran & Turkey.

Constantinople, Turkey, now called Istanbul is the former seat of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it is the only connection Rome has with end times/Tribulation Beast system. Jesus said in Revelation 2 that Pergamon/Pergamos was the seat of satan and where he dwells. Interestingly enough Istanbul the name has absolutely no meaning, which is unusual in the Middle East. Names hold serious significance.

Some other names of Ba’al: The Baal Principality has been called god of a thousand faces. Some of his other names are:
Apollo, Zeus, Marduk, Ahura-Mazda, Osiris, Tammuz, Dagon, Prometheus, Jupiter, Nimrod, Mithra, Ra, Lucetius, Dyaus, Dionysus, Hermes, Adonis, Pan, Hades, Eros, Uranus, Gaea, Assur, Merodach, Ninus, Shamas, Zeus-Belus, Bacchus, Shiva, Allat.
Satan does not want us looking in the right place, so we will be deceived. We must focus on the Middle East, and not on Rome.

The connection to Islam is glaringly apparent. What symbol sits upon the top of every mosque in the world? A crescent moon!

Where in the Middle East does the Anti-Christ/Mahdi Rise from?

Daniel 11 speaks about the Selecuid Territory, one of the 4 divided Kingdoms of Alexander the Great which includes all of Ancient Assyria; Turkey, parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The King of the North (Turkey shall come against the King of the South (Egypt). Isaiah 19.

The 6^th Empire was Rome, the 7^th was the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and will be the 8^th:

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

1. Egyptian empire

2. Assyrian empire

3. Babylonian empire

4. Persian Empire

5. Grecian Empire 4 divided Kingdoms upon Alexander the Great’s death (his 4 generals took a Kingdom each), which eventually was divided into 2, Ptolemy & Seleucus or Selecuid.

– Ptolemy-Egypt-Lysimachus-Asia Minor-Seleucus-Ancient Assyria-.Antigonus-Macedonia

6. Roman

7. Ottoman Turkish (Muslim) Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 8. Ottoman Turkish (Muslim). The 7^th Beast system, Turkish Ottoman was the only empire to defeat all the previous empires. Some say Rome did, but that’s incorrect, Rome never conquered Persia.

Jesus said himself in Revelations, Pergamos or Pergamon is the seat of satan, which is in Turkey.  Rev 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not.

In Revelations 13 he speaks of the Beast that rises out of the sea, which is symbolic of many people & nations.

² And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

The leopard is Turkey, and the Bear is Persia (Iran), the Lion Babylon (modern day Iraq)  & the dragon satan.    This shows us ancient Assyria, made up of Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Turkey & Iran are part of the coming Beast system.

³ And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

The deadly head wound is not a man, but a Beast system.  The Turkish Ottoman Empire received the deadly head wound in 1924 with the signing of the Balfour Treaty.  Britain and the US split ancient Assyria apart into secular states, and what we are seeing now is a revival of the Ancient Assyrian Empire just in time for Tribulation!  The head wound is being healed now as we speak!  God is so amazing!

What’s the next big prophetic event to happen according to Bible ?

Some say it’s the rapture of the church. Others say it’s revelation of the Antichrist. Some believers expect a peace treaty between Israel and surrounding Arab nations. But what does Bible really say about this ?

Let’s have a look ! God’s word is the authority.

I have always been fascinated by End time prophecies. The book of revelation says that the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy. So we should give that respect to Bible prophecy. Jesus wants his church to know everything the Bible has to say. EVERYTHING. Not just the Gospel. In fact all prophecies in the Bible are ultimately about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was blown away when I realised the fact that almost 30 % of Bible consists of Prophecies, both fulfilled and unfulfilled. Let’s return to the topic.

We believers know the truth that the return of our Lord is near. But the church is still sleeping. Many of the so called Christians aren’t even bothered about the Return of Jesus and it is really a sad thing. When we study about the first century Church, that eschatological urgency could be seen in their lives. They expected the Lord’s return in their life time. That prompted them to gave their lives for faith in Yeshua.

I believe that we are living in the last days. We are going to see Jesus coming with the clouds of heaven. What a glorious event that will be ! HALLELUJAH !

In the book of Daniel chapter 8 we see a vision God gave to him during the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar.

And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. 

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

Daniel:8-2,3 KJV

Here while Daniel was in Shushan which is in the province of Elam (Modern day Iran) he saw a Ram having two horns. One was higher that the other. Higher one came up last.

The Ram pushed westward, southward and northward and no animal could withstand him. The Ram did according to his will and it became great.

And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Daniel 8:5-7 KJV

Suddenly Daniel was shown a Male Goat coming from west. It rushed so fast towards the Ram without touching the ground. Goat had only one horn compared to Ram which had two. The Goat attacked the Ram with furious power. It broke the two horns of Ram and trampled him to the ground. No one could rescue the Ram from the Goat.

Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Daniel 8:8-10 KJV

After the victory, the Goat became so great. But at the height of this victory the large horn was broken. In the place of it four notable horns came up towards four winds of heaven. Out of one of them came a “little horn” which grew exceedingly great even towards the Glorious land, which we know that is Israel. The little horn didn’t stop there. He grew up to the host of heaven and cast down some of stars to the ground.

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.  And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Daniel 8:11-12 KJV

He exalted himself and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away. This little horn has an army by which he will accomplish this. He cast truth to the ground and he prospered.

This is the summary of vision Daniel saw. What’s the meaning of this? Thankfully God has the meaning for this in the same chapter.

So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.  Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.  And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
Daniel 8:17-19 KJV

The first thing Gabriel told Daniel was that the vision is for the “time of the end”. This will be fulfilled in the “latter time of the indignation”.

The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Daniel 8- 19,20.

So we now have the understanding of what really Ram and Goat indicate . Ram with two horns are Kings of Media and Persia  (Modern day Iran) and the Goat is the King of Greece (Yavan, which is modern day Turkey, not the Greece of today). The Great Horn between the eyes of Goat is the first King (Leader).

Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Daniel 8-22,23,24.

Here that Great Horn of Goat is “broken” and in its place four new horns came up. But it won’t have the same power. After this out of one of this region, a ” King of fierce countenance ” will come. He understands ” dark sentences “. His power will be unprecedented. Its Satan himself who will be giving power to this king. He shall destroy wonderfully. In other words, He will be a man of destruction. He will destroy mighty and “Holy people”.

The ”Dark sentences’ could mean the Quran. Quran contains at least 109 verses encouraging violence against Jews and Christians. ”Holy People” are Jews and Christians, the Children of God. ”King of fierce Countenance” is the Antichrist himself.

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:25-

He shall again magnify himself. He will destroy many by “peace”. He will fight against “Prince of princes” who is Jesus Christ. And finally he will be destroyed by God himself.

This is the summary of the vision. Many Bible prophecy experts claim that this prophecy is already fulfilled when Grecian empire under Alexander conquered Persia. But the scripture again and again says that the vision is for LAST DAYS. Alexander conquered Persia before Christ’s birth. Then how can this event be linked to end days ? Did the world end just after Alexander ‘s victory ? NOT AT ALL !!

So Daniel 8 war is NOT a past event. It will be fulfilled very soon. This war which culminates in a Turkish victory over Iran will mark the arrival of the Antichrist.

In Short,

1. Iran will attack nations West, North and south and no power will be able to stop them UNTIL Turkey counter attacks.

2. Turkey will come without touching the ground (using their airforce ?) and defeats Iran. Iran won’t be able to stand against Turkey as it’s the second biggest military force in NATO after US.

3. Turkey becomes very great (could be because of the praises of the world for saving the region from Iranian aggression ? )

4. At the height of their victory, the King or leader who will lead the attack will be either thrown out of power or killed. Bible says that the horn is “broken”.

5. Then the region (ancient assyria) will be divided into 4 parts, out of which the Antichrist arises.

6. This little horn or antichrist will destroy many by peace( How many times you have heard that Islam means peace ?). He will be Islamic without a doubt.

So what we really need to watch is the coming Iranian- Turkish war. This war will bring the Antichrist on to the world stage. We need to watch and Pray as Jesus commanded. Mark Davidson in his book ” Daniel Revisited ” has written extensively on this subject. I recommend everyone of you to read that book.

Blessings !

We will be adding content, notes & posts as we are able, so please be patient!  Blessings.

Who is the Antichrist, the Whore of Babylon, and the 3500 yr connection between Israel/Arabs/Muslims, and prophecy to be fulfilled soon.

How to understand what the Islam/Jewish connection is, who the Mahdi/AC is, where he will come from according to scripture, and links, and videos for proof. Also who the Whore of Babylon is.

Biblical proof of Jewish/Arab resentment 3500 years ago.

If the Arab nations surrounding Israel can be traced back to Abraham through his son Ishmael, then the roots of Jewish/Arab resentment can be traced back 3,500 years. This shows how obvious to whom the Lord’s wrath is against, how Islam will come against Israel, and with whom the Peace treaty will be signed.  Esau’s descendants want their inheritance that Esau forsook returned to them. Even though Esau was Isaac’s first son, he forfeited his inheritance to Jacob and turned against his people, Israel.  Even though Isaac had told Esau not to marry into that pagan people (Canaanites), Esau married his half cousin, Ishmael’s daughter, who was Abraham’s granddaughter by Sarah’s slave, Hagar.  Ishmael is the Father of Islam.  Both Ishmael’s & Esau’s descendants are to whom God’s wrath is against.

The prophecy concerning Ishmael in Genesis:  Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

Gen 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

How accurate this is to describe Arabs/Islam today! Mal 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Mal 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.  About Esau, Jacob’s twin brother who gave up his inheritance to Jacob for ‘pottage’ (stew), and represents Edom, whom God’s wrath is against when he returns (Edom means red)-which Esau was, red & hairy all over. Jacob represents Israel in the bible. Jer_49:10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not. 

Oba_1:6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!Oba_1:8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom,(Jordan) and understanding out of the mount of Esau? Oba_1:9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. Oba_1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it. Oba_1:19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. Oba_1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

THE ISLAMIC ANTI-CHRIST &  MYSTERY BABYLON :

The AC is Muslim, not the EU or Rome. The Old Testament is very clear on it.

Dan 11 shows us he comes out of Alexander the Great’s 4 divided kingdoms, which his generals fought over, and it become two, the Kingdom of the North, and the Kingdom of the South.  The North was ancient Assyria, which is now Turkey, parts of Iraq, Iran & Syria.  The South was Egypt & North African countries.

He comes specifically the Seleucid territory, which is ancient Assyria. Turkey will be where he comes from, the revived Ottoman Empire

Rev 17:10  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Rev 17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

The seventh Empire was the “Turkish Ottoman Empire”.  It lasted longer than any of the previous empires.

He’s called the “Assyrian, the Pharaoh of Egypt, the King of Babylonia, the King of Tyre”. He’s not the pope or the EU. The people of the prince to come in Dan 9:26 were under Titus, but none of them were actually “roman”, they were all Arabs (mixed ppl) from the Middle East. There’s a short page proving that below, Joel Richardson, who are the people of the prince to come.

Josephus saw them and documented it, along with other historians living in Jerusalem at the time.

If you read Obadiah, you will see who God’s wrath is against,  Esau and his descendants, who want their “inheritance back. The AC will not dominate the “whole world”. The word for world used here is “Yee” meaning that region of the Middle East.

The whore of Babylon is Saudi Arabia, and the whole world has drunk the wine of her fornication (OIL). Isaiah 21 & Jeremiah 49:24 say so. The bible is “Middle Eastern Centric, not USA Centric”. Also if you look at Micah 5, Dan 11:30, & Ezk 28, you will see that God raises up 7 shepherds (nations) & 8 principal men, who will kill the AC. I believe the U.S. and parts of Europe, Germany will each be one of the 7 shepherds, possibly Australia and other non-Muslim countries.

Mat 25:32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: Mat 25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

The goat nations are Islamic, those trying to destroy Israel & hate her, as they are trying now.  The sheep nations are the Christian nations who love Israel.

The peace treaty will be signed with many, not just Palestine & Israel.  The AC as Dan says will have 7 countries, similar to the Camp David accords.  Turkey is the only stable country in the Middle East now capable of bring this peace treaty between the Muslims & Israel.   Most Muslims in the Middle East are waiting for the Madhi, or 12 Imam to return.  He’s the pope of Islam, just as the Roman Catholic Church has a pope.  They have been without him since the Balfour Treaty was signed between Turkey & the U.S. and Britain in 1924, causing the “deadly head wound”.  A head is a country or Kingdom in the bible, not a literal human head.

Rev_13:3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Rev_13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Jesus also says in Revelations 2:  (Pergamon or Pergamos is Istanbul, Turkey)

Rev 2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; Rev 2:13  I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

The Muslims want to be reunited, and the Neo-Ottoman Empire is the one to do it.  Our history has lied to us, they say the RCC has killed millions of saints; actually it was Islam, over 1400 yrs.  While the RCC is an anti-christ spirit, (not the ppl, but the institution) they aren’t the AC.  They have covered well for the Islam they created.  (Mohammad’s wife was a rich RCC nun).  Many ppl don’t realize that Islam is a Christian cult.  They deny the father & the son. 1John 2:22   they are the only Theocratic system that is capable of bringing in the AC.  They are trying to instill Sharia law in the world.

Below are links to prove what is said above.
