ISLAM IN BIBLE PROPHESY WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED AND WHAT LIES AHEAD? THE DRAGON PART ONE BIBLE PROPHESY Notice that the following interpretations of the Dragon and the Beast were embraced by 100% of the old Protestant Reformers and their offspring. However, Protestant fathers occasionally varied when defining the False Prophet. Therefore, in "Part Two" of this page we are giving the False Prophet an up to date application that is based upon current trends. We truly pray that we are incorrect in our ideas concerning the False Prophet. Yet, when we consider the Dome of the Rock and how it uniquely fulfills Bible Prophecy we reason that our hypothesis may eventually prove to be correct. THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE (A.K.A. THE DRAGON OF REV. 12)
THE TIMELINE OF REVELATION 12 BEGINS WITH THE BIRTH OF MESSIAH JESUS THE "MAN CHILD." THE DRAGON, REPRESENTING THE DEVIL INHABITING OLD ROME TRIES TO DESTROY JESUS BUT CANNOT. THE DRAGON NEXT PASSES HIS POWER TO THE RISING BEAST. THE BEAST OF APOSTATE CHRISTIANITY REVELATION 13 IS PRINTED IN BLUE REVELATION 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 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. AS OLD ROME LOOSES ITS POWER, A BEAST RISES FROM THE SEA. (THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH) THIS BEAST IS CONTROLLED BY THE SCARLET WHORE (REVELATION 17) BEING APOSTATE OR SECULARIZED CHRISTIANITY. THE DOMINION OF THE BEAST EXTENDS TO THE 10 REGIONS OF THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE. THE SCARLET WHORE OF REVELATION 17 (ULTIMATELY CATHOLIC ROME) RIDES THIS POLITICAL BEAST UNTIL HE THROWS HER OFF AND DEVOURS HER FLESH. THIS CASTING OFF OF THE WHORE WAS FIRST FORESHADOWED WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH, CONTINUED IN THE APPEARANCE OF ISLAM AND WAS PROPHETICALLY FULFILLED DURING THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION. NOTICE THAT THE CASTING DOWN OF THE WHORE DID NOT TURN THE BEAST (THE REGIONS OF THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE) INTO A LAMB. THE OUTCOME OF THIS CASTING DOWN WAS SIMPLY THE LOSS OF SECULAR CONTROL BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND NOT THE CONVERSION OF THE BEAST.IN THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION
JOHN’S PROPHECY REVEALS THAT OLD ROME WOULD FALL, DIE AND YET RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE. THUS, OLD ROME INDEED RESURRECTS AS THE BEAST HAVING THE Scarlet Whore (SECULARIZED CHURCH) UPON ITS BACK. AS THE APOSTATE CHURCH INCREASES, IT RECEIVES THE POWER OF OLD ROME. CONSIDER THAT THE ROMAN CHURCH ASSERTS THAT IT INHERITED ITS SECULAR POWER FROM THE ROMAN EMPEROR CONSTANTINE. REVELATION 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. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? THE BEAST OF OLD ROME, DRIVEN BY CHRISTIAN APOSTASY WOULD OPPRESS ITS SUBJECTS FOR 1260 DAYS / YEARS. AT LAST THE REFORMATION WOULD BREAK THE CONTROL OF THE DRUNKEN WHORE AND HER PERSECUTION OF THE GOSPEL. REVELATION 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (1260 DAYS / YEARS) 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. THE APOSTATE CHURCH DIRECTED THE STATE TO KILL MILLIONS OF BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY LOVED THE SCRIPTURE AND PLACED THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE. TODAY’S POPE HAS OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZED FOR THE CARNAGE OF THAT PERIOD. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. ANOTHER BEAST WITH TWO HORNS WHILE THE FIRST BEAST ENJOYS ITS POWER, ANOTHER BEAST RISES FROM THE EARTH. THIS SIMULTANEOUS APPEARANCE AGREES WITH DANIEL CHAPTER 2 AND THE PROPHESIED FEET OF CLAY AND IRON MIXED AND ALSO REV. 13:14 WHEN WE ARE TOLD THAT THE SECOND BEAST EXERCISES HIS POWERS "in the sight of" THE FIRST BEAST. THIS SECOND BEAST IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE FALSE PROPHET.
REVELATION 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. A DIVIDED ROMAN EMPIRE IN WHICH
THE KINGDOM OF OLD ROME DIVIDED Daniel 2:40-43 "And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." THE SIMULTANEOUS EMERGENCE OF THE TWO BEASTS REPRESENTS TWO GREAT APOSTASIES CONTROLING THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE. DURING THE MIDDLE AGES (OR DARK AGES) BOTH ROME AND ISLAM WERE THESE APOSTASIES AND PERSECUTED TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO WORSHIPED CHRIST AS THEIR ONLY HEAD. THESE TWO APOSTASIES WERE CLEARLY FORETOLD IN THE FEET OF BOTH IRON AND CLAY. (Daniel 2:41) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PART TWO THE FALSE PROPHET PREVAILS ISLAMIC CONFEDERATION? DANIEL’S VISION OF THE FEET OF CLAY AND IRON WERE APPARENTLY FULFILLED IN THE SIMULATIONS APPEARANCE OF ROMANISM AND MOHAMMEDISM. HOWEVER, IN REVELATION 13 WE MIGHT BE SEEING THE SAME STORY BUT WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS. IT IS NORMAL FOR SUCCESSIVE BIBLE PROPHETS TO REVEAL SUPPLEMENTARY BITS OF INFORMATION. BECAUSE JOHN FORESAW THE FALSE PROPHET AS ULTIMATELY TAKING ALL THE POWER OF THE FORMER BEAST, WE THEORIZE THAT ISLAM (ALTHOUGH SUFFERING CONTINUOUS INTERNAL CONFLICTS) MAY EVENTUALLY SEIZE THE REMAINING REGIONS OF OLD ROME AND ENJOY ROME’S FORMER POWER. THUS, ISLAM MAY ULTIMATELY EXPAND INTO LARGE PARTS OF EUROPE THROUGH EUROPE'S CARELESS IMMIGRATION POLICIES. ALSO, BECAUSE EUROPE HAS LARGELY REJECTED ITS CHRISTIAN ROOTS, GOD MAY GIVE EUROPE OVER TO THE MUSLIMS EVEN AS HE ONCE TURNED ISRAEL OVER TO THE BABYLONIANS.
REVELATION 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. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. THE IMAGE OF THE BEASTAS EUROPE PROGRESSIVELY BECOMES MORE CONTROLLED BY AN INCREASING MUSLIM POPULATION, (presently 22 million) MASSIVE PERSECUTION WILL BE INSTITUTED AND THE DARK AGES WILL BE REBORN UNDER THE TEACHINGS OF THE KORAN. THIS PERSECUTING POWER WILL FILL THE FORMER REGION OF THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE AND WILL THUS CONSTITUTE THE MAKING OF "THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST." PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO BOW DOWN TO THE FALSE PROPHET OF REVELATION, AS THEY ONCE BOWED TO THE SCARLET WHORE OF ROMANISM. FIRE FROM HEAVEN NATIONS THAT ARE NOW UNDER FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIC LAW ALREADY LIVE UNDER A TORTURES INQUISITION. REMEMBER THAT THE KORAN CLEARLY DICTATES THAT UNBELIEVERS MUST BE BURNED IN THE FIRE TO TEACH THEM TO SUBMIT. TO THE FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIM THIS CONSTITUTES A FIRE FROM ALLAH WHICH NON DARE RESIST. OF COURSE A RESURGENCE OF ISLAM MIGHT ALSO SPAWN SATANIC MIRACLES BEFORE THE LORD’S COMING. ONLY TIME WILL REVEAL THE EXACT MEANING OF "FIRE FROM HEAVEN." BEWARE, GREAT DECEPTION IS CERTAINLY COMING MANY MISTAKEN CHRISTIAN LEADERS INFORM US THAT ALLAH IS THE SAME GOD THAT THE CHRISTIANS WORSHIP. HOWEVER, THE WORDS OF THE KORAN INFORM US THAT ISRAEL’S GOD (JEHOVAH) IS DEFIANTLY NOT ALLAH. THE KORAN ALSO TEACHES THAT JESUS IS NOT ALLAH. THEREFORE BY ISLAM’S OWN DEFINITION, ALLAH IS ANOTHER GOD AND THUS, TO THE CHRISTIAN ALLAH MUST BE DEFINED AS AN ANTICHRIST AND THE SPIRIT OF SATAN. WHEN ISLAM CONTROLS MANY WILL BOW AND SOME WILL GIVE THEIR LIFE. CONSIDER WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE WHEN MUSLIMS RULE EUROPE. VISIT PRESENT MUSLIM NATIONS TO FIND OUT WHAT MAY BE COMING. UNDER ISLAM ENGLAND WILL CEASE TO BE JOLLY AND FRANCE WILL NO LONGER BE SWEET! REVELATION 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. BE FAITHFUL, GREAT PERSECUTION IS COMINGTHE MARK OF THE BEAST IS LARGELY FULFILLED UNDER ISLAM TODAY. IF THE FALSE PROPHET EXPANDS HIS POWER INTO EUROPE THE PREDICTIONS OF JOHN WILL BE TOTALLY FULFILLED. REVELATION 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. AN INTERESTING THOUGHT... SATAN NEVER BRINGS PEACE! ALTHOUGH ISLAM WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE EARTH AND PARTICULARLY IN EUROPE, THERE WILL BE NO PEACE. THE GREED OF MUSLIM WAR LORDS WILL CAUSE WARS TO CONTINUE WITHIN THE KINGDOM OF ISLAM UNTIL AT LAST ISLAM WILL BE OVERTHROWN BY CHRIST, LEST "no flesh be saved." Matthew 24:22 "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."DID PAUL FORESEE THE RISE OF ISLAM? "That Man of Sin Revealed" 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, (THE SECOND COMMING OF CHRIST) except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."A Falling Away First By the 600s the Roman Church had deserted the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Egyptian Gnosticism (Christians that denied Jesus’ divinity) had also contributed to the corruption of the organized Christian Church. Nevertheless, Satan was not content with his success. A new level of darkness was about to be introduced into the world. The MAN OF SIN was about to take his seat upon Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
Above is the Dome of the Rock (The Temple of Allah) located in Jerusalem. Allah is derived from two words in conjunction. (Al = the ilah = god) This building is the literal fulfillment of the Abomination Desolation. Abomination -- The false god Allah occupying the site of Jehovah’s Temple in Jerusalem.Daniel 11:31 "And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."Desolation -- The Temple of God removed / destroyed.Matthew 23:37-38 JESUS SAID: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."Notice that the Abomination Desolation that Jesus predicted was first fulfilled in 70 AD when the armies of Rome destroyed God’s Temple in Jerusalem. Many Christians then obeyed Jesus and fled from Jerusalem before the final assault. After the Temple was destroyed (the desolation) a Roman idol was set up (an abomination) in its place. This idol was later removed and is now replace by the anti-Jehovah temple (still an abomination) called the Dome of the Rock. Amazingly, the enemies of Jesus fulfill his predictions to the letter. That Man Of Sin Revealed
Islam was born as a religion to oppose Jesus the Christ and Jehovah the God of Israel. The Koran stands firmly in opposition to the deity of Jesus and his power to save. Through Islam we see that men are turned away from the Saving Blood of Jesus and are pointed to an idolatrous black stone and a mysterious enclosure. What evil could be hidden inside? Some say that Allah is an ancient idol hidden within the mysterious Kabul temple in Mecca but we cannot prove this allegation. Unfortunately, with or with out a material idol Islamic souls are still without Christ and these wonder in the sorrow of sin! We observe that Islam might be "that man of sin" because it uniquely sits upon the site of God's Temple in Jerusalem. This reality seems to constitute a literal fulfillment of Paul's prophecy. AFTER ISLAM TAKES EUROPE DID GEORGE WASHINGTON FORESEE
WORDS OF THE KORAN PERIL #3 TAKEN FROM "And again I heard the mysterious voice saying `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. (Notice that Islam already controls the necessary parts of Africa and Asia. The fall of Europe will totally set the stage for an Islamic Confederacy.)Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast armies devastate the whole county and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sword, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast. Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle. Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious! Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: `While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word Union, he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, Amen." THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER In the Prophecies of Daniel the Prophet, (below) we read of a future worldwide kingdom. That kingdom's ruler (the stone) is Jesus. The followers of Mohammed believe that Jesus will return in the last days and congratulate them. Counterwise, the prophecies of Daniel indicate that Islam will be cast down by Jesus and a righteous kingdom will then be established. Dan. 2: 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. If you are a Muslim consider the teachings of the Koran. |
