An Islamic Anti-Christ? (Part 2) - Pastor Mike Taylor
Islamic Anti-Christ? (Part 2) - Pastor Mike Taylor -
"He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these; a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price." (Daniel 11:37-39)
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
Last time, in part 1 of Islamic Anti-Christ, we looked at the possibility of who or where the coming Anti-Christ could come from. I then had numerous emails with messages that proposed the same thing as I am considering the Anti-Christ being Muslim...Pete Garcia proposed near the same as I did, and spoke of Chrislam as the end time One World Religion, and a brother in Christ sent me a four part series dealing with the same subject..Which I will post the first part below and let all who wish to read this possible scenario that may come upon the earth that are posted on my blog, one right after the other in four parts:
Note that the articles point to one man in Saudi Arabia...Is he right? Things is, we won't know for sure who the AC really is until he is revealed at the signing the confirmation of a covenant of 7 years with Israel. We may have a good idea, but Paul told us in 2nd Thessalonians that we won't be here..
6 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2nd Thessalonians 2:6-10)(in bold, my emphasis)
But now let us take an even closer look at who and where the AC could come from and decide if our brother above is right or not as even my brother in Christ proposes an Arabia Crown Prince as the possible coming AC...But one caution, we may not know the man, or see him before Jesus comes, but the times we live in are pointing to one "religion" that will melt with another for the objective of ruling the entire world. Let us look closer....
In the times we live in, there are no greater mysteries that make men wonder than who will be the Anti-Christ, and who or what will be the mother of harlots, Mystery Babylon. For a time, it seems they are joined loosely together and form a one world religion and a one world government.. That much is proven in your bible, but it will be broken when the man of sin and his government is through with this harlot and will eat her flesh, strip her naked, and burn her with fire.
In the last message of Part 1 of this topic, I have proposed that the Anti-Christ may come out of a major religion that will still be powerful on this earth and will deceive unrighteous men with a false "messiah", called the Mahdi and a pact made between this evil man and a one world religion embodied by the Roman Catholic Church.
I have had disagreements with this scenario and many reasons for the embracing of the traditional view of an European Union or Western leg of the Revived Roman Empire type of Anti-Christ and they forget that there was an Eastern Leg of the Roman Empire that outlasted the western by a 1000 years..., but note that the Bible gives no nationality to the origin of the AC. It only gives types and anti-types of examples of a man who fits many of the historical figures already come upon the scene (ie. Antiochus Epiphanes, and all the way up to modern day Hitler and even Barack Obama, who are all Anti-Christ.) I look to three areas of investigation, this being only one possible explanation. I look to Rome and the Pope (religious apostacy), New York City, (the economic hub of modern day commerce) and a satanic inspired POTUS (present or future), and a Muslim Caliphate located in Mecca being moved to Jerusalem.
In my studies, I have noticed that the Roman Catholic Church has been fervently trying to draw all religions into an ecumenical relationship that we "are all brothers, and can't we all just get along? Come back to the "mother church" type of message. I have hypothesized that when the true church, the Bride of Christ is removed from this world that two major religions will be still in force and will set out to deceive the world domination, for power and money. This, I believe is embodied in the Roman Catholic Church finally joining forces with the Muslim world and both wishing to rule together. When true believers and the Holy Spirit are suddenly gone, then the world will be ripe for anyone who can calm their fears and let them continue in their own unrighteousness and give them a sense of security, even if it be a false security for a season.
JOINING OF CATHOLICISM AND ISLAM: CHRISLAM!!
In this message, I want to turn attention to a possible scenario that is playing out right now in front of us. I wish to dive further into the relationship between the Anti-Christ and his harlot religion.
In many articles that I have read, and many U-tube videos, people have tried to discover for themselves by interpreting scripture with their own understanding. We ask for God's Holy Spirit to lead us, but I must profess, that all we can do is search the scriptures and watch the signs of the times, because until God lays it down in concrete before us, we will not be 100% certain of what He was trying to convey to us in the message. But Jesus told us something that we should all take very seriously in our individual lives.34 "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."(Luke 21:34-36)
I firmly believe that all the prophecy teachers and ministers of our present day (including myself) who are watchers on the wall of our end times, some may if not all, have a head slapping moment when they take the palm of their hand and raise it to their forehead and say "Ah, ha....that's what He meant." We are told to watch and pray, but also understand, that when these demonic forces start to become more clear, we who look to our bible will not be confused or misled this side of our departure from this earth to be with the Lord forevermore.
ONE WORLD RELIGION...CHRISLAM
Let us take a moment and look at a symbol that John paints in the book of Revelation chapter 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.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
What is a harlot? When it is denoted of a human, it means being unfaithful with different lovers and committing fornication or adultery. In John's account of the Mother of Harlots, this woman sits as a queen riding upon a beast and controls the beast in a loose relationship as noted in my past messages. In ancient times, Babylon was located in the land what is now Iraq, but hardly fits the final scenario of what will be the modern definition of Mystery Babylon. Many writers have tried to determine what this city is, and where it is located. Does the Bible gives us any clues to its location? I believe it does, but again, until it be revealed, we can only watch and pray.
In the bible, a harlot is denoted by a religion that follows after false gods and prostitutes herself with that religion. In ancient history, Jerusalem and the Israelites fit that category when the kings of Israel became corrupt and took the gods of the people surrounding them and became worse than they were. God delivered judgment upon Israel by dispersing her twice. The first time for 70 years and the last time, for almost 2000 years beginning in 70 AD, until Israel became a nation again in 1948. But where is Mystery Babylon today? Is she alive? Is she on this earth right now? I believe she is and we will watch and pray, as God will reveal it to His people when the time is right. But let's look at some key scriptures that may point to her existence.
First John talks about a queen who sits over the kings of the earth. John was given a description of this mysterious woman who is a harlot and tells us in John
17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
POSSIBLE CULPRITS OF THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
A religion that supports a false god, has a capital that is her base and which resides her power. In Catholicism its power is in Rome. In Islam, where is the religious capital of the Muslims? That would be Mecca. There are many harlot religions in the world. Besides these religions, just name them off. If they believe on any other God, than the God of the Holy Bible or pervert it in anyway, then they are harlots. What are harlot religions? Any religion that does not recognize the God of the Universe, Jehovah or Yahweh, and His only Son, Jesus the Christ (Messiah) or pervert the Gospel message is a harlot. Each have only one thing in common, who their father is, Satan the devil. Satan is who is called the father of lies and has infiltrated men's minds and deceived them into worshiping false gods to their eternal damnation. Each of them deny the only Begotten Son of God, either in deed or in word. They are Anti-Christ.
In Eastern religions when you say the mother of anything, then it means the greatest. So when John was saying that this harlot is the Mother of Harlots, it means she is the greatest and the most perverted of them all. So it comes down to one question, "Who is the most dangerous, the most blasphemous, the most dangerous, and the most seductive of all religions in this modern world?"
In Isaiah chapter 21, the prophet makes known of a great nation that will fall. John saw the same thing when He wrote in Revelation:14:8
" And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
Isaiah makes a reference to an area by the sea as an idolatrous nation using names of cities that are part of this country. Can this be the center of this harlot religion? Note this is but one possibility of who the harlot is. In Chapter 18, Isaiah also uses terms that I have identified, in the past, as pointing to the USA as the harlot, but further into the book, he speaks of nations in the Middle-east that are also harlots against the living God. He identifies this area in chapter 21 with these attributes of location. Isaiah uses other terms other than harlot, but is talking about judgment on a geographical area that is in idolatry:
1 " The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease."(Isaiah 21:1-2)
The KJV renders the phrase "burden of the desert of the sea.", but can also in context be rendered. 'burden of the desert BY the sea.". So in context we see that this possible Harlot resides in a capital that is in the desert and is by the sea. So let's look at some attributes that point to this possibility. John also makes the same inference when he writes in Revelation chapter 18:
17 "For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!"(Revelation 18:17-18)
It gives you the picture that this capital is in the desert and has a either a port, or a way to ship her goods via the merchants and captains of the sea.
Let's go look at another prophet who spoke of the destruction of a people located south of Israel located in a desert by the sea;7 "Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him."
Skipping down:
20 "Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea."(Jeremiah 49:7-8,20-21)
WHAT LAND ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
Where are the cities mentioned in this passage? Where is Teman? Where is Dedan and Edom? If you look at a historical map of the ancient world, we find that Dedan and Teman are the cities located in Yemen and stretching to Northern Saudia Arabia. So we've narrowed it down to a city that is in the desert, by the sea, and is located on the Arabian Peninsula.
In Isaiah 21, the prophet goes on to pass judgment on cities of Dumah, Seir, Tedan, Arabia, and Kedar and it is prophesied that their splendor will come to an end. Where are these cities located in what country? They are located in the modern land of Saudi Arabia. Just as John, Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke of, Saudi Arabia is a desert by the sea and is surrounded by sea. In Arabic, Saudi Arabia is known as "Al Jazeera Al Arabia" or Arab Island and also can be called a "desert by the sea.". Note that modern day Iraq and the ancient site of Babylon are not by any port, or any ocean, or is a vast desert. At least not like Saudi Arabia with Mecca with a close by port, or Rome with Catholicism, or New York, if we count the USA with their ports for shipping, but only Mecca is surrounded by desert. What is the dominant religion of this area? Islam is the only (false) religion of idolatry in this area. All other religions that dare set foot in Saudi Arabia are either persecuted, or executed. And what is the center of this false religion (ideology, as it's not a religion, per se)? Right, it is Mecca. Where is Mecca? Mecca is in the desert, by the RED SEA and is the spiritual capital of Islam.
An interesting note to ponder is that Mount Sinai is where God gave the Hebrew people His law, the Ten Commandments. Mount Sinai is located where?, It is located in the Arabian desert. Sinai or Suen is Arabic for Satan. So there God gave His law for a standard to live by and to bring a people unto Himself. He gave Satan a resounding defeat by delivering His people from Egypt, and will continue to defeat him again at this time and in the near future.
STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED
I submit for your study, to search scripture and see if you agree. In the end times, if it turns to be true, Islam will be the major religion in all the earth at the beginning of the Tribulation. It may be joined by another world religion, as I've mentioned, the Roman Catholic Church. Catholicism is attempting to re-unite the "mother" church and it's protestant daughters and blend it with another major "religion" of Islam, calling this blend "Chrislam". I note Rick Warren at Saddlebrook Church is promoting this blasphemy and Kenneth Copeland is estatic that the current pope, Pope Francis is reaching out to call the apostate church of loosely held Laodecian beliefs into one fold, with one "shepherd"...of course, that will be the pope. Pope Francis is making a move to bring all religions together in "one big, happy family" including and especially Islam. Each will fulfill their desire for power in the short term. Each will use the other to rule all the earth in certain geographical areas, until the Beast Power and the Anti-Christ needs them no longer. Note that the beast destroys this Harlot with fire, this blend of Islam and Christianity, possibly called Chrislam in the final days of man-made rule..
You ask, "How will this area be destroyed and by whom? If the Anti-Christ is Islamic, why would he destroy his own religion?
Good questions and a detail that might point to Mecca in Saudi Arabia as the Harlot of Revelation. Here is what Jeremiah had to say about this time:
51:11 " Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, Because His purpose focuses against Babylon to destroy it; For it represents the vengeance of the LORD, vengeance for His temple.
51:12 Lift up a signal against the walls of Babylon; Post a strong guard, Station sentries, Place men in ambush! For the LORD has both purposed and performed What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
51:13 O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, The measure of your end." (Jeremiah 51:11-13)
This was accomplished once before when the Medes invaded Babylon and took the city without much effort. But remember, the Bible is dual in prophecy, as the passages were written for our modern time, and this will happen again, soon.
Who are the Medes? Correct. They are the inhabitants of the modern nation of IRAN!!. Now why would Iran hate their Muslim "brothers"? Because the Mother of Harlots is still a whore. Iran will hate her, because she has become more Westernized than all of her counterparts. She has dealt richly with the West and have provided herself with untold riches and luxuries. Remember she reigns as a queen over the kings of the earth as noted in Revelation chapter 17 quoted above.
THE WINE OF HER FORNICATION
But what have they been ruled by and what? Revelation 18:3 "For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality". (adultery)
These verses could apply to two dominant religions on this earth at this time...both have blood dripping from their hands of the death of millions of innocents who would not bow their knee to the rule of these two religions...Islam and the Roman Catholic Church. Both were possessed to bring all men under their rule, almost concurrently during the Dark Ages, and spilled countless men and women's blood for the own conquest.
But looking at Islam located in Saudi Arabia, what "wine" does Saudi Arabia possess, that would cause the world to commit fornication with her and become rich in the process? The answer is OIL! A barren land has become rich with the wine of her fornication. She controls the world with the price of her wine...OIL!
So how can we be sure that the wine of Revelation is the OIL of Saudi Arabia? Isaiah spoke of their destruction in chapter 34:
8 "For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Its streams will turn into pitch, And its loose earth into brimstone (sulfur), And its land will become burning pitch (bitumen).
10 It will not quench night or day; Its smoke will go up forever From generation to generation it will remain desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever."(Isaiah 34:8-10)
ISRAEL: THE CENTER OF ALL PROPHECY
What one commodity can make the world turn against the land of Israel and because of its desire for riches? OIL!! REMEMBER ONE THING. ISRAEL IS THE DOOR TO END TIME PROPHECY AND JERUSALEM IS THE KEY!! It's the never ending story of the struggle between Isaac and Ishmael, the Hebrew people (Israel) against the Arabs. And in the end, it is the treatment of Israel that will cause untold judgment on the inhabitants of this earth. Getting back, could oil be the wine that has made the world drunk? IN that day, the streams of crude oil which is what pitch and bitumen are, will fill their land and burn and the land will be uninhabitable. Because of the world's desire for oil, and to placate the oil rich center of the Middle East who controls 20% of the known world oil supply, they have, even today, abandoned Israel and attempted to divide up her land, in order to drive down the price of the wine of their intoxication...OIL!! Would it surprise you that world policy, especially the USA under the past administration, and other administrations beyond that have done the bidding of the most powerful nation that controls the engines of the modern world? You guessed it, Saudi Arabia. We do her bidding, at the expense of God's chosen people (especially in recent years) to run our own factories, run our cars, and grease our palms with the untold profit that has been generated by this one country. Right now, Israel is the center of attention with the rage on the Temple Mount and the rise of Palestinian terror besieging the country and the past POTUS did nothing but try and divide the land of Israel....why, because of oil and I believe a deep loathing by the past resident of the Oval Office (a Muslim sympathizer and/or a Muslim himself) for the nation of Israel and especially its leader, Bibi Netanyahu.
But the rest of the world of Muslims hate the economy of Saudi Arabia, because in their mind, since they deal with the West so heavily and we have,( in the past), been a proponent of supporting Israel, they look on her as a whore to their own religion. The other sects of Islam hate the ways of Saudi Arabia for dealing with the West and indirect support of Israel.
But God hates her for a different reason. Mecca is the "spiritual" capital of Islam. So why do you think God hates her? Mecca is the center of the largest false religion on earth, and has in its city the largest idol prayed to by all Muslims five times a day. It is the Kaaba stone.
A COUNTERFEIT RELIGION
History shows us that Mohammed, when he conquered Mecca, looked upon their idol worship of many gods as disgusting and destroyed all gods, but made "allah, the moon goddess, the supreme god for worship in Islam. He destroyed all temples, stripped them naked, and burned them with fire. As it was then, so it will be in modern times. Our God, the Almighty Jehovah hates the idol of Kaaba which is a black meteorite with images of female genitalia on it's face, as He does all idol worship.. The Kaaba is a cube shaped shrine of a black meteorite that is supposed to have the image of the god allah on its surface. As I mentioned, it is the image of the female genitalia. You may investigate this by Googling "Kaaba Stone " and see a picture of it and a description.
Zechariah chapter 5 speaks of this abomination.
5 " Then the angel who spoke with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this goes forth."
6 I said, "What does this signify?" And he said, "This represents the ephah going forth." Again he said, "This signifies their appearance in all the land.
7 (and behold, a lead cover appeared lifted up); and a woman sits inside the ephah."
8 Then he said, "This represents Wickedness!" And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight upon its opening."(Zechariah 5:5-8)
The Kaaba represents the basket, or ephah that gathers grain. And what is the grain? It is the people who worship this abomination. Inside you have a woman sitting in the middle. Remember what I told you about the symbol that is present on the surface of the Kaaba? Do you also remember that allah was the moon goddess allat, or allai, known today as "allah"? Here it shows that the false god has feminine attributes, as do many other false religions that try to replace the Lord God of Israel by a feminine false god of the pagan worship out of ancient Babylonia and call her the "queen of heaven"..sound familiar?
BRINGS END-TIME DESTRUCTION
Isaiah chapter 21 shows that God will stir up Iran and will bring her down to destroy this city.
Now why would Iran, besides what I've mentioned here wish to destroy the center of their religion? If the Anti-Christ is Islamic, he is an impersonator!! Note the scripture quoted in the beginning of this message. The AC will embrace no god, but promote himself. Also note that Iran is Shia or Shiite by majority and Saudi Arabia is Sunni by majority and embraces Wahhabism as the state religion. Both are at direct odds with the interpretation of what Islam is and how it should be followed. Could it be that the Anti-Christ will come forth from an alliance of Shiite Muslims, with Iran as their leader outside of Saudi Arabia? Will the Anti-Christ be Iranian or a similar sect of Shiite Islam, like their neighbor to the north, Turkey? Interesting! Stay alert. And the most persuasive is the following verse for their reasoning to destroy this area.
Daniel 11:37 "He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all."
This son of perdition, this man possessed by Satan himself, will allow no worship of any other god, but himself and through his agent, who Satan will possess, (the Anti-Christ) will Satan receive worship he so lustily desires. He will destroy any and all religions that are in conflict or take away from his perceived glory. Even Islamic prophecies talk about Mecca being destroyed and Jerusalem being the head of One World Government.
"The Mahdi will rule from Jerusalem, because Mecca will be destroyed." (Yawm Al-Ghadab, Safar Alwaly). If we want to take any stock in a Muslim prophecy, but it show that it is in their mind already.
God also hates this land because of their sins of human slavery. The Saudi kingdom has been the focus of many human rights violations and the slave trade of forced labor. Know that the Arabian peninsula produces nothing, but one thing...crude oil!! It imports everything else that it desires, in with her vast wealth, the nations of this earth have become rich. She drowns in gold and jewels and has gold shops that line their streets. Revelation 18:11:
"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more-
12 cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble,
13 and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives." Revelation 18:11-13)And even more importantly, the Arabian peninsula has been the center for human sex slave traffic the world over. She attempts to conceal her human rights violations, the sex slave trading, the luxurious lifestyle that her oil barons and sheikhs live in, but the God of the Universe sees and knows it all.
Very soon, a man will arise and proclaim the religion of Islam , as the one true religion of the world. The Mahdi will proclaim himself the Islamic Messiah. Wonders will be produced probably at the Kaaba or at the Vatican by the false prophet who has accepted the message of the Mahdi and wants the world religions to unite. Could he be the Roman Catholic Pope that will promote the unholy trinity of Islam, Roman Catholicism and the Caliphate, the Islamic Messiah....The Anti-Christ? All will claim that to follow the Mahdi will bring peace, tranquility and untold luxury for a world united....Don't you believe it!
This scenario will last but three and a half short years. In the end of this beast rule, he will destroy this Chrislam, both Islam and false Christianity, its false prophet, and the land it resides in (Saudi Arabia?) . The Anti-Christ indwelled by Satan will allow no worship of anyone but himself, even of the false god, allah. Recall what the prophet Daniel wrote concerning this beast:
Daniel 11:37 "He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, (allah?) for he shall magnify himself above all."
He will destroy the center of Islam, (Mecca) and it's end time empire and set up his government in Jerusalem. There he will enter the Holy of Holies and Satan through the Anti-Christ beast, proclaim himself, a god. This starts the Great Tribulation and the attempt to destroy all of the Jewish people, as they realize that this "false" political messiah they have embraced to protect their land, is of the devil and blasphemes against the true God, Yahweh.
A WARNING TO THE SEEKER OF ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
IN the beginning, a pilgrimage may be commanded to take place and journey to Mecca to worship at the Kaaba at the beginning of the Tribulation, as it will change at the mid-point as noted that the Anti-Christ will move his headquarters of his one world government to Jerusalem. God tells us to stay away from Mecca, and to come out of her. Stay clear of Mecca, should the preceding comes to pass, as we stay alert, focused and breathing God's Word to warn others. I write this for you may have come to a Christian website looking for answers to the terrible destruction that has suddenly come upon your land, your country, and your home as millions have suddenly disappeared and there is no rational explanation of the event. Jesus warned. in Matthew chapter 24, a most prophetic chapter from God in the Flesh:24:26 " Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
Be not fooled. The man they want you to go see, is an imposter. He will proclaim great things and if you allow yourself, you will be swooned into accepting his demonic message. He may be Islamic and only time will tell if this be true, but will tell you what you want to hear to calm your fears, only to lead you into the most horror filled terror of your short lived lives. It is the beginning of the greatest time of human destruction on this planet that if it were not stopped, no flesh will be saved. In this hour, your hope is in Jesus Christ and Him alone. Either side of this journey leading up to and beyond the tribulation, Jesus is the answer to the question you seek. Call upon Him while there is time to do so.
"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."(Matthew 24:22)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."(John 3:16-18)
8 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:8-13)
Remember, faith in Jesus is the ONLY way to be delivered from what is coming. Even if we are close to the Tribulation, this time will test all who are so unfortunate or rebellious to enter into these coming 7 years, known as the Tribulation, or Jacob's Trouble. We must stay focused on Jesus and what He did for each of us, and the promise He made to the end time church of Philadelphia..
10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." (Revelation 3:10-11)
As I've preached, Jesus will keep us from this coming hour of temptation that shall cover the whole earth. Don't wait a moment longer, as today is the day of salvation....we are not promised even tomorrow...
