It is sad that the word Apocalypse is equated to destruction, and death, because it isn't about that, it is about revealing, an appearance, a revelation.

Not with someone like Obama as President. Also, what if those with the agenda to destroy Israel didn't begin until the United States was reeling like a drunkard as a result of a nuclear attack? Imagine a city like New York being leveled in a nuclear explosion. We'd not know the origin of the attack. We'd be trying to rescue as many as possible. The markets would be crashing. Chaos would abound. We'd not know who did it. And even if we saw Muslim nations descending on Israel... we'd not really know if it were this Islamic front that attacked us. Surely, they could just be taking opportunity to strike Israel... while we're still trying to find out who was behind the attack on us. It would be a disaster.

Also, I have friends who live in Israel. Israel isn't chomping at the bit to use nuclear weapons. Remember, they aren't Americans. If we nuke a country, it's on the other side of the world. If Israel nukes a Muslim nation... you do realize, they would be dropping nukes right next door. They DON'T want to do this under any circumstance. And doing so would require a massive evacuation and refugee effort to save the Jewish nation from potential fallout. Ohio wouldn't drop a series of nukes on Indiana.

Then you will get to see the Caliphate hung upside down from Cypress trees, while a man with a CAT hat, overalls, and chawing REDMAN is asking his friends Boudreaux and Thibodeaux, to take a picture of him standing by the victims armed with his AK 47.

lol No comment. lol

I don't think you realize it wouldn't be that clear or easy.

Yes... but if this boogie man strikes first... I don't think you realize the ramifications. We'd not know it was him until well after his forces conquered Jerusalem. And even then, we might not know for certain.

I don't make these rules, but there is money to be made, and if a one world leader comes around and tries to grab all the cookies for himself, Then the rest of the kids are going to upset and place cyanide into his little milk carton.

No one said he'd be successful. Only that he'd try to fulfill the prophecies of Islam... which mirror what Christian Futurism warns us about. Of course he's going to fail.

Same devil, different dress. You aren't the first one to blow your horn and scream the sky is falling. You have a long list of individuals who had picked out world leaders to be the Antichrist. Napoleon, Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Barack Obama, and (I don't know how they will do it, but someone will figure something out) Hillary Clinton?

Again, that's not my point. lol I'm not screaming the sky is falling. I'm simply saying that Islam expects to not only see these events... but they are commanded in their holy writings to FULFILL them, to act and make it happen. And so... we have a religion with growing radicalization designed to DO what Futurists have warned about. And the only thing that can stop it from happening would be to convert ever Muslim on the planet... or ... rewrite over a thousand years of Islamic eschatology.

Of course, I don't know for certain if this is the Beast of the last days. My point is... we've NEVER seen this kind of enemy or potential player on the stage of prophecy.

We have always had bad guys, and bad guys have bad things happen to them. The United States of America has plans for their elite, and if anyone comes along riding a camel, and pointing an RPG at anyone... then someone will be more than pleased to saturate bomb their position.

I would hate to see these things happen, and know that it would bring death instead of life. Pray Aquila that what you are proposing never comes to pass, that my children, and Muslim children get a chance to grow up and have families of their own.

I do pray that this never happens. Here's something our pastor showed us in church several years ago:

It is sad that the word Apocalypse is equated to destruction, and death, because it isn't about that, it is about revealing, an appearance, a revelation.

The goal is to be spiritually, mentally, and physically prepared as one can be within the bounds of common sense.

America’s Strategy Deficit
A haphazard foreign policy makes a complicated world more dangerous.

No one thinks this administration is the A Team when it comes to foreign affairs, but this is unprecedented push-back from top military and intelligence players. They are fed up, they’re less afraid, they’re retired, and they’re speaking out. We are going to be seeing more of this kind of criticism, not less.

I will answer this whole post later, but I must leave you a complement.

Aquila no matter what our differences of opinion may be, your posts are very pleasant. Every time we had a discourse in the past, your posts are very pleasing to read, and so nice. Even if I disagree with every word (which I'm not saying I do) the posting has been quite enjoyable.

The Lord bless you in Jesus name.

P.S. Islam is not mentioned once in our Bibles. But more of that later.

Thank you for your compliments. I truly enjoy reading your posts too. And, I tend to agree more than one might think.

P.S. Islam is not mentioned once in our Bibles. But more of that later.

Islam may not be... but the enmity between the descendants of Jacob (Israel) and Esau and the Arabs (Edomites, Moabites, Amonites) is. And while Islam isn't mentioned specifically, I find it interesting, as a Christian, in this study is that the Islamic Messiah, the “al-Mahdi”, is believed to do almost exactly what Futurist Christian Eschatology claims the Antichrist will do. Here’s a short listing of what the Antichrist will do according to the Bible:

• The Antichrist will be an unparalleled political, military and religious leader in the Last Days (Rev 13:1-9).

• The Bible says that the people of this world will be amazed and will follow the Beast (Rev 13:3,7). Many Christians believe that this is most probably after certain miracles have been performed and certain victories have been attained. The Bible describes him to have suffered a fatal wound, but was healed, thereby causing many people to marvel and follow him. Another reason is the Antichrist's military genius in conducting warfare.

• The Bible describes the Antichrist Empire as a resurrection of one or more of the seven Empires that preceded it (Rev 17:9-11). When the Apostle John recorded the Book of Revelations, the Empire at the time was the Roman Empire, the 6th Empire ("one is"), and one more was yet to come, which will stay for a considerable period of time. (Rev 17:10). The eighth and final Empire before the End of the World is from the seven, but it is not the Roman Empire (Rev 17:11).

• The Bible describes that ten nations will come under the rule of the Antichrist, and he "will subdue three nations" (Dan 7:24). Here, "nations" may not necessarily be the countries we know today. These ten "nations" will form the basis of his Empire, from which he will then seek to subdue the rest of the world.

• The Bible also describes some of the lands the Beast will lead (Dan 11:42, Ezek 38):

o Egypt, which he will attack and subdue (Dan 11:42).
o Meschek and Tubal (most likely parts of Turkey, parts of Southern Russia, parts of Iran),
o Magog (a region convering parts of either Syria and/or former Soviet Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Turkey, Iran, Dagestan),
o Persia (Modern Iran)
o Cush (African Cush covers parts of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia. Asian Cush covers Arabia through Euphrates),
o Put (Libya),
o Gomer (Cappadocia, Turkey),
o Togarmah (southeastern part of Turkey near Syria)
o Babylon (Modern Iraq. The Euphrates River in Iraq is also mentioned together with the two Beasts in Rev 16:12-13),

Basically, this is the region spanning N. Africa, Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asian Islamic Republics (the various -stans). All are MUSLIM dominated nations. The Bible says that these nations will then come together and attack the land of Israel.

• The Beast's Empire will combine characteristics of three previous Empires (Rev 13:2). The three empires described symbolically are:

o Babylon (symbolized by lion),
o Medo-Persian (symbolized by bear) and
o Greece (symbolized by leopard).

If we combine the three Empires, we again get almost the same geographic areas as above.

• The Bible describes the Antichrist as ruling for seven years (Dan 9:27).

• The Beast will appear from the region occupied by the Seleucid Empire, one of the four that the Greek Empire founded by Alexander the Great was broken up into after his death (Dan 8:8-9). This region spans from the Aegean Sea to Afghanistan. The region is Islamic today.

• He has a stern look (Dan 8:23) - probably means intimidating. He will be a master of intrigue - that means highly intelligent. Some say that he will look like an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14) - probably means that he behaves religiously and/or has good looks and/or that there is light or glow on his face.

• The ten nations are such that "They have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the beast." (Rev 17:13). This means that except for the subduing of the three nations, the rest of the league of ten nations will willingly give their right to govern their countries to the Antichrist. Also they will rule with the Beast for a short season (Rev 17:12).

• The Revelation states that "he was given a crown." (Rev 6:2), indicating that he was not of royalty, nor one that attempts to gain power at first. Instead, he was somehow persuaded to take up his rule.

• He will come riding on a white horse and conquering (Rev 6:2).

• The Antichrist will have the treasures of Egypt, Libya, Nubians (Northern Sudan, Southern Egypt) to give to his followers (Dan 11:43). All are Islamic states.

• He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers (Dan 11:24). He will distribute land (Dan 11:39).

• The Bible says that the Antichrist will enter peaceably the "richest province" (Dan 11:24). Note that in Hebrew, "richest" comes from the word "shiman" meaning fat, oil, grease. The Hebrew word for "province" is "Medinah".

• He will make a treaty with many (likely Israel and possibly the West) for 7 years (Dan 9:27).

• He will break the treaty when the time is ripe; he is said to terminate the sacrifice in the middle of the seven years (Dan 9:27).

• The Antichrist "by peace shall destroy many" (Dan 8:25), indicating an empty promise of global peace.

• He will invade Judea and desecrate the Temple Mount (Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11). Jesus also alluded to this prophecy (Matthew 24:15) in His famous discourse on the End-Times in (Matthew 24).

• The Beast will set himself up in the temple on the Temple Mount and exalts himself there (2 Thess 2:4).

• The Bible says that the Antichrist will have a prominent assistant who will help him (Rev 13:11-17). The Bible calls this assistant the Second Beast (symbolic of a person, not interpreted as literally an animal) or the False Prophet.

• The Second Beast is a religious figure to bring in a global religion (Rev 13).

• The deputy is subordinate to the First Beast and will support him and deceive people to follow the First Beast (Rev 13:21).

• The 2nd Beast will have horns that look like a lamb's but speak like a dragon (Rev 13:11). Lamb in the Bible obviously refers to Jesus who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29, 1:35-36). Horns in Biblical symbolism often represent power and authority. Thus, we see that the second Beast will claim to be Jesus and exercise power (eg. miracles) and authority in his name, but is in reality not the Biblical Jesus. The dragon is the father of lies (John 8:44). That means the second Beast will employ lies to help the 1st Beast and bring about the new Empire. Lying will be allowed to bring about the desired results.

• Jesus alluded that an imposter will be accepted as the biblical Jesus (John 5:43).

• The two beasts will have a powerful army to dominate the world and create a new world order (Rev 13:7).

• Together, they will institute a global religion over the whole world (Rev 13:8,15). The second beast is the religious leader that will help the first beast institute and enforce this new religion.

• There will arise from the Euphrates (modern Iraq) an army of 200 million (Rev 9:14-16). This does not mean that they are all from that region, but could be a gathering of people, and it also does not mean that that is the size of the army of the first Beast.

• The Bible says that people will worship the person behind the Beast because power was given to the Beast (Rev 13:14). People will say, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" (Rev 13:14).

• They will change existing laws (Dan 7:25).

• They will change the calendar system (Dan 7:25).

• The Beasts will persecute the Jews and Christians, and will be allowed to win over them (Dan 7:2, 8:24; Rev 13:7,10).

• The Bible says that the Antichrist will attack Israel (Dan 11:41).

• The world will attack Israel. "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem." (Zechariah 12:2. Also Ezekiel 38).

• They (and his deputy below) will attack and conquer Jerusalem (Dan 9:26).

• The Bible says that those who refuse to follow the new world religion will be killed (Rev 20:4, 13:10).

• They will use beheading as a means to execute those who do not follow them (Rev 20:4, 13:10).

• The False Prophet will require a mark on people's head or hand so that they can buy or sell (Rev 13:17). As the False Prophet is the religious leader of the new world order, his system of marking obviously distinguishes between those who are submitted to the world religion and order, and against those who are not.

• The Second Beast will be able to perform miracles (Rev 13:13).

• The Bible prophesies that many Christians will turn away from the biblical faith (2 Thess 2:3, Matthew 24:10-13, 1 Tim 4:1-2, 2 Tim 4:3-4). In Luke 18:8, Jesus asked poignantly, "when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?".

• There will be the use of lies in the world religion (2 John 1:7, Rev 13:11, 14, 19:20) – probably in order to win over people and to rule them.

• The Bible describes Two Witnesses at the End Times (Rev 11:1-14).

• The Witnesses will work many miracles. "And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire." (Rev 11:5-6), and "these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth." (Rev 11:10).

• The Witnesses will wear sackcloth, signifying repentance and atonement. Atonement in Hebrew is Kippur, from the root word kpr (in Hebrew f and p are the same letter, the latter being a hardening of sound of the former).

• The Witnesses will be killed by the Beast and the whole world will see their bodies without burial for three and a half days (Rev 11:8).

• The Witnesses will be killed in Israel, "And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." (Rev 11:8).

• At the death of the Witnesses', the world will rejoice and send each other gifts (Rev 11:10).

• The Witnesses will rise from the dead three days later and ascend into Heaven for the entire world to see (Rev 11:11).

• Three unclean spirits gather the armies of the world for the great day of God Almighty (Rev 16:13-14).

• The ten nation confederacy turns on the Antichrist and destroys his capital (Jerusalem) upon realizing he is an imposter (Rev 17:16-18).

• The Antichrist confronts Christ in the valley of Armageddon (Rev 19:1).

• The Antichrist and the False Prophet are taken with their armies by the angels led by Christ Jesus as he descends from Heaven (Revelation 19:20-21)

• According to the Bible, the Antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ, denies the Son and the Father, ie. Father-Son relationship between God and Jesus (1 John 2:21-23, 4:3), denies that Jesus came in the flesh, i.e. God came in flesh (1 John 4:2-3, 2 John 1:7).

All of the above Scriptures tell us plainly what the Antichrist will do. I find it interesting that Islam teaches an “anti-parallelism”, describing the Islamic “savior” as doing the very things attributed to the biblical Antichrist according to Futurism.

Oh, we get hit first scenario?

Ah yes, science fiction and dystopian future, in the even slightest event that someone is able to fire a bottle rocket without out NORAD knowing then ICBMs would automatically launch towards the attacking position. So, even before the Masih ad-Dajjal can even blink his one good eye, the Mahdi, and all the other bad guys will be crisper than charred bacon left on the grill for an hour. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

Aquila what you are describing isn't reality. Especially after 9/11 the United States is in eternal lock down. Meaning that she has more things set in place to keep track of every eyelash flicker, so if someone gets overly zealous to send a ICBM to Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery, our defense system goes right to DEFCON 1 then the Empire will strike back. Unleashing weaponry of unbelievable accuracy and devastation. Your Mahdi will have now entered a world of hurt raining down upon him. Leaving nothing more than a greasy spot.

Wait, you all of a sudden are back to something reasonable like maybe some Muslim country attacking Israel? Instead of Super Muslim Messiah Antichrist?

Listen, you see what happened to Gaza when some Qassam rocket spiral their way towards Israel. Beat down and boot stomping. Could you imagine if Super Muslim shows up armed with an arsenal that would make any world despot salivate? The Israelis would unleash the Borg, with big smiles on their faces incinerate anything that twitches under the sun.

Yes, indeed I know, the ramifications if Super Muslim even had the thought of launching his android assassins from Mecca. The last thing he would feel is a snap as the bullet ripped through his cranium fired from a sniper's rifle outside his palace.

That is when Iron Man would be sent to unleash death and destruction from above.

The Mahdi and the Masih ad-Dajjal aren't even close to the Beast of Revelation. They fit as much as Hitler, Mussolini, or Hillary Clinton. Your words "NEVER seen this kind of enemy or potential player" That was parroted every time a crisis was presented by a scary world leader. While the Mongol Hordes stormed down upon Europe from one direction, the Vikings from another, and the Muslims from yet another. People believed their end would surely come. So they searched for a dark figure, messenger of Satan, the Antichrist. Again, same old devil, different dress.
