Preface

This book is written in honor of the truth revealed about all false pagan religions mentioned in the Holy Bible, but discussed in rare terms by the religious community and the secular world that need our undivided attention today. The book is also written specifically about the religion of true Islam because not even Muslim scholars know that their origin, evolution, and destiny are clearly foretold in the Bible. Another focus of this book is on the true nature of the religion of Islam and its core sacred doctrines as found in the Quran, the Hadith, and all Sunnah—to settle the idea once and for all if they are meant for the good of mankind or for evil and to discover the true unrecognized origin of Islam outside of their own sacred books and teachings 2,500 hundred years before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad and the religion we know today as Islam.

This examination of true Islam based on the Bible is fair, hard, and historically true. It is not meant to be disrespectful to the religion of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, or to the Muslim people, but to reveal an unpopular truth and hard facts staring the world in the face about this moon god religion that worships a god of war and its sacred doctrines, which takes guts to discuss in the open market place of truth and ideas in today’s political and religious climate. So it is without pride or prejudice that I present true Islam to you in a manner in which you may not have considered before this project.

May God bless the reader by giving you new insights, and teach you something you may not have known before about the religion of true Islam and see it as it truly is, and see where Islam is taking the world in the future because it has all been foretold.

Chapter 1

Why Islamic Muslim Terrorists?

Being a half-in half-out Christian in February 1993 was a pretty normal state of mind that caused me to care more about my own self-interest of career, stock portfolio, and how much one could actually keep up with the Joneses. There is nothing wrong with these things of course, but it was my life’s priority with my Creator that was the problem. The idea of being a full red-blooded all-American male trying to etch out my very own stake in the American dream was pretty much my only concern at that time. Often contemplating my life as to how it should be lived, whether to be myself and do the very best that I can because that’s all people should expect from you anyway. Should one seek to be completely devoted to Christ, or is it okay where I am, on the fence, only chasing the material gusto of life? Be a nice person they say. Observe the golden rule of life, and try to get along with everyone as you would like everyone to get along with you, and the results should be a pretty good safe life here in America. So I thought.

My carefree life was pretty good until, out of nowhere, radical Islamic terrorist Ramzi Yousef, seditious coconspirator, the blind sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, and others set off a truck bomb in the basement garage of the World Trade Center, North Tower, in New York City. The reason this act of terror sieged my attention the way that it did was because my sister’s mother-in-law was at work in the North Tower at the time when the bomb went off. She survived and was not harmed physically. But there were at least six casualties, multiple injuries, and the trauma of the shock wave from the blast, making the entire building shake violently, and the toxic smoke filling the office work spaces was more than enough to emotionally devastate all who were in the building, especially those closest to the blast zone. Post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmares, and the constant wonderment of how she almost died at work in America—or could have been killed while sitting in her office at her desk on what was considered a normal day—was a heavy emotional burden to carry for many after that dreadful day.

Afterward, family members and I had many deep thought discussions on the matter along with my brother-in-law who was 82nd Airborne at the time. We concluded there was very little, or nothing, that anyone in the family could have done to stop such an insidious, evil, and deadly surprise attack on the civilian public. We all felt totally helpless about what had happened. We often thought that if these Islamic jihadists could get past our government’s military, our national security apparatus, and slip under the radar of local law enforcement, then the general public didn’t stand much of a chance against such a determined enemy.

The same Islamic jihadist ideology, almost ten years later, returned to repeat the attack, only this time to be more than successful on September 11, 2001, of bringing down both Trade Center towers. This same mother-in-law was in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and when the first plane hit the building next to hers, it shook everything, along with making a disturbing sound; and my sister’s mother-in-law instinctively knew that familiar experience all too well. She said when the voice came over the intercom to remain seated and stay calm until they find out what’s going on, she was already moving out of the building telling others to follow her lead because she was leaving nothing to chance. Some, who would have normally remained seated, got up at her behest and followed her out of the building. And no sooner had they gotten out of the building, the other hijacked airliner plunged into the second tower from where they had just escaped. She retired immediately after that infamous day. Radical Islam accomplished their goal this time by suicide assassins of the Islamic jihadist ideology flying commercial airliners loaded with innocent men, women, and children into buildings, including the Pentagon, and with the downing of United Flight 93, killing almost three thousand people in one multipersonnel coordinated terrorist attack.

We should not be so quick to forget the historic event and move on mentally concerning our thoughts on this tragedy because of the enemy who perpetrated it and why. Stop for another moment and really think about 9/11 again. Think about the nearly ten-year incubation of evil, and their ability to blend in with us, and the ease of cunning stealth in which they used to live among us in plain sight here in America that was so hell-bent and determined to destroy us eight years later with eagle eye nonwavering focus. If that is not the hallmark of a true enemy, I don’t know what else would qualify or how to define an enemy. If it’s not an in-your-face declaration of war, and a clear outright clash of civilizations and religions, for both political parties to be 100 percent behind on a bipartisan basis, I don’t know what is. Research revealed that 9/11 was not an arbitrary date to Osama bin Laden, but a date entrenched in Islamic war history. Ignorance of this enemy and his designs against Israel, America, and the non-Muslim world will not suffer fools, because with this enemy, it puts us in harm’s way in ways we are totally unfamiliar, unprepared, and at a grave disadvantage. Islam is dedicated to certain Muslim sacred doctrinal directives and is motivated by a universal Islamic Creed to a pagan god of war, and we discount the seriousness of this because, to us, it’s just religion. And not only is it religion, it’s a religion in which the majority of Americans are dangerously ignorant. None are more ignorant of true Islam than most of our own American politicians and pastors. If America and the free world don’t get the difference between religion and man being reconciled to God our creator through a personal relationship with his son Jesus Christ, we are all doomed to be overcome and utterly defeated by the dark ancient pagan religion of Islam. What is America’s countermeasure to Islam’s ancient war cry creed, Allahu Akbar, My god is greater than your God? How do we react in response to this pagan clash against Christian civilizations? America may not be thinking this way, but truthfully what we face is a clash of the gods between Islam’s pagan god and America’s Judeo-Christian God, and let no one tell you differently! What is our creed of faith and what does America really stand for? Politics only, or does America stand for the God of the Bible? This question will not be ignored because America and the free world will be tested and tried by this pagan moon god religion and will be forced to answer. This question will be forced upon us all to answer one way or the other by this nation, by Israel, and by the rest of the free world in its own time Allahu Akbar, Is their god greater than your God? Think this question is not serious? Islam believes this pagan creed and ancient war cry enough to die for it! What are we willing to die for? There is calm within the storm" now because there have been no major terror attacks in America lately on the same scale as 9/11, but friend, things have never calmed since the Global Jihadist Movement started in the 1930’s with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler. It only appears calm, because the same enemy of 9/11 is still here in America—but in greater numbers now, waiting, because the coming storm of the Islamic jihadist movement against the world has only just begun. The Islamic jihadists have not even warmed up yet. Please ask yourself, why?

The Anatomy of an Enemy to All Things Non-Islamic

It is written from the mouth of God himself, Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9 KJV). Jesus raised the opposing possibility of war by stating that peacemakers belong to God. So we must consider that some people don’t want peace or are meant for something other than peace. What would be the opposite of peace? If you answered war, you would be correct. What would be the opposite of a peacemaker? I realize this is rudimentary questioning, but bear with me. I’d like to keep my examination of true Islam real simple. So what would be the opposite of a peacemaker—if a peacemaker makes peace? If you answered a warmonger, again, you would be correct. And if peacemakers are called the children of God, based on his word, then a warlord, or warmongers, or a people of war and strife must be the children of the wicked one. If we as a civilized society cannot clearly distinguish the peacemakers from the warmongers, especially with the help of the Holy Scriptures, then we should all examine our moral humanity.

Has anyone heard of a public declaration of peace with Israel or America from Islam? I haven’t heard it either, and you won’t. Has anyone seen or experienced any global peace initiative or peace policy from Islam? But we did hear that Osama bin Laden issued a war fatwa (an official decree handed down by an Islamic leader that any Muslim may try to enforce) against America and made good on it during 9/11. We continue to hear the cry for war against the West and Israel by many Islamist and by who we consider moderate Muslim state leaders. Islam desires Sharia Law to be implemented over the whole world; and in many cases, to accomplish this, it will require war. Maybe we do need to brush up on our understanding of true Islam?

For the past ten years in America, the news media and certain politicians have the tendency to make us feel that it’s our fault we got attacked by terrorists. We should realize by now that it is a political lie when politicians say things like Guantanamo Bay is a recruiting tool for terrorists or that there is something else that we can do as a Western Christian society is a tool to increase terrorist recruitments and the joining of the Islamic jihad movement. Every politician or news pundit who says this is either grossly uniformed about Islam or misleading the public intentionally. No exceptions. No exceptions, because the true origin of the Islamic antagonism the world experiences with Islam is not political, it only appears that way on the surface, but it is in fact spiritual in nature and quickly moves into the realm of pure pagan religion. It is not so much of what others have done to Muslims that causes them to be antagonistic to others; it is much more who and what Islam is. The reality is all you have to do is be Jewish, Christian, or non-Muslim, in that order, to be the enemy of Middle Eastern Islam. It is fundamental Islamic doctrine to war against you and to subdue all things non-Muslim. It has been that way in Islam from its inception and even before; we’re just finding out about it the hard way by our experiences with Islamic jihad. And if you think that I am exaggerating or overstating my position, then continue to read and learn about true Islam from my perspective, and you will be greatly amazed and surprisingly reinformed about the darkness that exists in true unveiled Islam.

HISTORY:

We can historically trace Islamic terrorism against America back to as early as 1805 with the Barbary Wars, skirmishes with portions of the Ottoman Empire, and War with Muslim Tripoli, which led to the formal creation of our nation’s first navy and the Battle Hymn of the Marines The Halls of Montezuma. There is absolutely nothing we or anyone else can add or do for Islam to be more hostile toward the nation of Israel and Western Christian civilization than they are now—absolutely nothing! The long-standing history of Islamic war and conquest and their hostility toward all things non-Muslim originates from a place far beyond their sacred doctrines and religious philosophies found in the Quran, the Hadith, and all Sunnah. Even some modern-day prophecy analysts think that the nucleus of what is now the Islamic religion dates all the way back to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel’s religious rebellion against God and man, which continues today. This place in history that I refer is approximately 2,500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad, back to the original father of the Arabic/pre-Muslim people, Ishmael, who in this study is designated as the progenitor of the nations of strife and the pagan moon god religion we know today as Islam.

Islam is something the world must grasp a true understanding of what it is, where it came from, what the Bible says about Islam, and where it is taking the world in the future. We must travel beyond the limited road of secular history alone and pay close attention to what the Bible record says about this and all other pagan religions. Even Islam and Islamic scholars are totally unaware of their own evolution and destiny found exclusively in the Bible. We must comprehend this critical dilemma in which the world finds itself with moderate Islam and radical Islam because it has all been foretold. The Bible, which we ignore too often, has given us the politics and the religious foreign policy of the future. Neither your favorite politician nor the average priest or pastor most likely knows what’s coming in the future. The Bible warns man in advance about the consequence of worshipping false pagan gods of false religions that apply in the here and now. The nations of the world will experience judgment in this life far before we ever encounter a Judgment Seat in the afterlife. How do we know this exactly? Because it has been foretold by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Bible prophets. My question to the world is have we been listening?

I LOVE ARAB PEOPLE:

Please understand the focus of this project is on the darkness of all pagan religions, but in particular the religion of Islam, and not necessarily on the Arabic people. Though God loves Muslims and died for them also as he did for all men, yet there is dreadful judgment in store for all false pagan religions and those who worship pagan gods, according to the Holy Scriptures. This book is written partially in consideration for the Muslim people and with the intent to share the truth of Jesus Christ and their true origin with them that they may learn something about their own religion and its destiny they may not know and upon finding out they themselves might be saved (believe on Jesus Christ as the Son of God and personal Savior).

Friend, we are in a war between two worlds, and this coming destruction in which I refer is not cynical in nature, or fearmongering in its intent on my part, but rather it is to heighten our awareness and the importance of the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for mankind and our personal need of him as Lord and Savior of the world, as the Ark of Safety for our eternal souls, and as the Keeper of the Planet’s Peace between our humanity and our very own inhumanity to our fellow man. It is written, The heart of man] is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it or who can know the depths of its evil (Jeremiah 17:9). Who can know the unlimited potential of man’s evil heart indeed? So it is this dark side of the truth about man’s heart that we must reluctantly examine that forces me to reflect on recent history in support of the premise for this book, and ask, did we know that men’s hearts could be as evil as Hitler’s Nazi Germany and the Third Reich because of the inhumane atrocities they committed against the Jews and the free world. Well, the Creator of man’s history has promised the world one worse than Hitler, and though it may not be a bright spot in our humanity, I’m here to explore how this will happen to mankind again, because this time, the coming religious world leader will produce a potential human race–annihilating outcome far beyond the sixty million killed by Nazi Germany in WWII!

Christ No Longer Functions As the Meek Lamb

Do we really think that Jesus Christ would suffer for the world and lay down his life and spill his innocent blood to provide a saving salvation for all humanity, and the world can casually ignore the free gift and treat his personal sacrifice of love with a take it or leave it attitude, and there is no price for the world to pay for it in this life? The term saving us from our sins is not a casual religious expression. It is much, much more. There is certain eternal danger in every man’s future, and Jesus Christ saves us from that future danger. Also, many assume that the retribution for sins is limited to the afterlife only, but the eventual day of the reckoning of God awaits us in the future in this life, and no one on the face of the earth—rich or poor, bond or free—will be able to avoid the coming storms for the punishment of sins (Proverbs 11:31). In the same language as the scriptures, it will be a very dark dreadful day (Isaiah 13:10), a bloody savage affair of the likes the world has never experienced for which I will try to prepare all men and warn as many as I can in this exposition on true Islam to flee from the wrath to come!

The world still perceives the Christ of Christianity as a meek and mild lamb instead of the resurrected Lion of the Tribe of Judah over whom death no longer has dominion. Who among the followers of Christ has the urgency to preach in equal fashion as they do the love, mercy, and the second chance grace of the gospel message along with the Day of Vengeance of the Lord Jesus Christ? Who has the courage to bear witness of the Christ whose eyes are as a flame of fire, and upon whose head are many crowns, and the Christ whose vesture worn is dipped in the blood of his enemies and the armies of heaven do follow him? And who will testify about the Christ out of whose mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it, he will smite the nations that we live in, and rule them with a rod of iron. Or who will preach the Christ who treads the Winepress of the Fierceness and the Wrath of Almighty God? They are two sides of the same coin. Is it far-reaching for students of the Bible to say at Christ’s return to earth, all false pagan religions will unequivocally be destroyed (2 Thessalonians 1:7– 10; Daniel 2:44–45; Zechariah 13:1–2 KJV/NIV).

It is written, And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe [because of our testimony among you was believed] in that day.

Should not then all men be warned to flee the wrath to come, especially those of one of the largest false pagan religions in the world, and no amount of warning or description of the terror to come from the Lord be too much or considered too extreme to share because this is also part of what Jesus Christ died to save us from?

Most Bible scholars agree that this scripture is during the same time at the end of the age when Jesus Christ is executing literal judgment on mankind and the nations by opening the Seven Seals in the book of Revelation while men are still going about the business of living, buying and selling, planting and building in this life. Do some Christians downplay the fear of the obvious destruction to come for the ungodly? In my opinion, we don’t promote the literal fear (awe and profound reverence) of God’s words enough. It is written, I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord (Psalm 101:8 KJV).

Destroying all the wicked of the land applies to an area much greater than the city of Jerusalem. It applies to all the wicked in the earth. The post-resurrected Jesus Christ is no longer the mild-mannered man from Galilee but a holy, fierce and just, warring King of kings out to destroy all his enemies and the ungodliness of men at his return to earth. This is no secret. Salvation through Christ to save men from the coming judgments in this life and the next is the basic theme of the entire Bible. But many stop there with Christ just saving the soul or a spiritual saving and forget the part where Christ comes back in flaming fire taking vengeance on the world and physically saving the nation of Israel in the midst of a DEFCON 5 death match with the Anti-Christ and his armies (2 Thessalonians 2:3–12, Revelation 19:19–21).

God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ gave us the future of man’s destiny contained within the Holy Scriptures in a way that will be impossible for man to ignore. All men—no matter their position on God, politics, or religion—will all have their extreme moment of clarity with what’s written in the Bible concerning Islam, the Anti-Christ, Armageddon, and finally the literal return of Jesus Christ back to earth. This is a guarantee from God. My only question is will this Revelation of Jesus Christ’s truth come too late for you?

It is written, Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began; but now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith (Romans 16:25–26). God is revealing secrets of the ages and making known hidden mysteries to all who desire to know them that will help prepare us for a trying future. At the very end of the age, nothing but good awaits us who look for Christ’s second return, but before then, the world will have to face their own evildoings and the consequence of evil sown by men in this life. We must get in on the mysteries of God now and find out where we fit into the future, or we will not know what’s coming or how to prepare for it. Let’s agree to take our blinders off so we can see clearly what’s on the horizon for the future that involves every man, woman, boy and girl, and especially involves Israel.

Moderate or Radical, or One and the Same

In this study, some may wish to be politically correct and make a distinction between Islam and radical Islam, but none is made in certain segments in this informational layout on my behalf intentionally. Why, because in their history and in our current experiences with Islam, the majority of so-called moderate Muslims have not distinguished themselves apart from the radical Islamic jihadist who wants Sharia Law to rule the world. Not to my satisfaction anyway. Both the moderate and the radical Muslim terrorists want 90 percent of the same things if their faith is rooted in Sharia Law, so why waste our time with distinctions? So you honestly think if 90 percent of Islam conquers America, or internally subverts America to Islam by their overwhelming migrant numbers without firing a shot, that the remaining 10 percent of so-called moderate Muslims would rise up and oppose the opportunity to lord over you?

There Are Some Lovely Muslim People

You may ask, am I saying there is no nice nonradical Muslims? No. There are many lovely nonradical Muslim people, but their numbers are so insignificant it means little compared to the ones who want traditional Sharia Law enforced over the world. My main focus is on the Muslim religion itself and not the Arabic people per se. We must be able to distinguish between the souls of people and the dangers of the religion of Islam. You can believe in Arabic people without believing in the pagan religion.

Yeah, yeah, we may quote that only 10 percent of 1.7 billion Muslims are radical and how just a few bad radicals have hijacked a good peaceful religion, but the FBI was just trying to be nice and use public and political diplomacy with the 90 percent. Our inner circles of government here in the United States and organizations like the National Intelligence Council (NIC), based on a 2004 report titled Mapping the Global Future, and governments abroad both know the immediate and potential future threat of Islam, but they can’t say that to the world like it needs to be said, not yet.

NIC statistically suggests that the numeric spread of radical Islam approaching the year 2020 and beyond will have a negative global impact, stating, Radical Islam will have a significant global impact . . . rallying desperate ethnic and national groups and perhaps even creating an authority that transcends national boundaries. I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty significant and sounds important for us outside of Islam to know, an authority that transcends national boundaries. What does that mean exactly, could I have the bombs of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria going off in my American neighborhood on a Saturday morning? A wise man must be able to see the evil coming before it happens. This gives the wise man the power not to become a victim of the coming events, or at least gives you the opportunity to prepare for it where others will be totally unprepared. Do you have eyes but cannot see? It is written, "A prudent [wise] man foresees the evil coming [afar off ahead of time] and hides himself [acts on his understanding of what’s ahead]: but the simple [foolish] man passes on and is punished" (Proverbs 22:3 NIV [JNS]).

Who’s Radical

Everyone is radical. Survey out of the 1.7 billion Muslims who want Sharia Law, and then you will get a more accurate answer to the question of how many Muslims are radical. I get this is a brand-new fear and an unfamiliar threat subject for most Americans, so we wish for such a thing as moderate Muslims. Many Americans instantly give the benefit of the doubt that there is such a thing as moderate Muslims because of what they are experiencing in the news like the graphic human beheadings by radical Islamic terrorists, and can’t bring themselves to imagine a problem more colossal than what we already see in the news. But I’m going to have to apologize to you in advance, America, and this is going to hurt you more than it hurts me, but you will soon discover that Islam is Islam, is true Islam.

After the World Trade Center terrorist attacks of 2001, Islam was now on everyone’s personal radar, especially mine. We should not forget 9/11 ever; as one of the freest societies in world history, we should let it be a cruel schoolmaster to us all who cherish life, liberty, and this great Christian country. As a little boy, I also can’t forget but remember the 1973 Arab OPEC Oil Embargo against America for supporting Israel after the 1967 Arab-Israeli six-day war, which caused a sea of stranded American cars to be lined up to get rationed gas for the week. Imagine the streets were littered with thousands of cars with empty gas tanks that had run out of gas. I asked a hundred questions about the Arabs’ way away in the Middle East and how they had ruined my ice cream trip here in America. Radical Islam is certainly, in my opinion, a hint of what’s in the world’s future—but on a much larger scale of international chaos, war and terror even more than many modern prophecy analysts suppose based on the Red Horse of the Apocalypse. It is written, "And there went out another horse that was red; and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the Earth, and that they [those upon the Earth] should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword [to kill by war and other large-scale means] (Revelation 6:4 KJV [JNS]). Who are the they in verse 4?

Scripture Must Interpret Scripture

Since the 9/11World Trade Center desolations, I’m reading everything I can find on Islam and Muslim history now more than ever before, even though I’ve always thought that Arabic nations played a more central role in end-time Bible prophecy according to the scriptures. The Bible named specific Middle Eastern nations that need no interpretations from the Old and New Testaments (NT), but other Western, Rome-centered, European Union, ethnic migration theories, and unclear empire sequence history would stymie my mind’s advancement toward the obvious and correct nations of focus as written in scripture references relating to the end-time. Nations mentioned by name in the book of Daniel, Numbers, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Micah, Revelation, Amos, Joel, and other places like Psalm 83.

My approach on this project is to keep it simple and rely most on written Scripture and its own interpretation rather than secular philosophers and historians and unreliable history of migration patterns or empire sequence history and varying personal opinions. Also, I will focus less on interpreting history as the stand-alone criterion, which seems to be given more weight than the prophecy itself, and interpret the prophecy text alone without history being used to steer and prop up the prophecy text. I will simply try to let the scriptures answer the questions of when, where, and who of the Anti-Christ and his revived kingdom, and define the ancient nation’s geographic locations at the time the nation was mentioned in scripture by the prophets and instead let the scriptures interpret the scripture to us and establish the prophecy’s time-tense of then or at the end upon Christ’s return. Again, my main focus is on interpreting the written prophecy in particular, not history. This may be why some of the commentary on the Daniel 2 metal image was interpreted the way it was because the history of empires overshadowed the strict prophecy text. Sure, there is a lot of history between the time the prophets spoke and that future day, but the big prophecy questions of where the Anti-Christ’s kingdom capital will be, what’s his pagan religion that he shares with the Beast and the False Prophet, and who’s ancient kingdom territory will be revived at the end of the age is the great prophecy question. Is it Rome Italy, or is it Islam? And whoever you conclude it is, can it be validated by all scriptures and the prophets? These are my main concerns.

I read many great prophetic book authors such as The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsay, and I read books of the Left Behind series, Revelation Unveiled by Tim LaHaye, and other works written by John F. Walvoord and Joel C. Rosenberg. Plus, I followed other prophecy ministries that had some great information that kept me thinking about what the end-time landscape would look like and what nations are currently emerging on the world stage as key players based on the Bible text as the world approaches Armageddon.

Are we yet to realize that the world cannot stay the same? Your nation will not remain the same. All nations will eventually change and go into social, political, and religious distress as Christ foretold in Luke 21:25, and if there must be an Armageddon, then nations that we know today must participate in it. The bull’s-eye of Armageddon is the city of Jerusalem and surrounding nations. This is a very important point we must consider in helping us reach proper prophecy interpretations and conclusions. First, we must acknowledge that Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Church (the body of Christ) Israel, Jerusalem, and the Promised Land are the epicenter of all Bible prophecy. Not any city on earth, or any other people, anywhere else in the world unless otherwise stated. The Middle East is included in this nucleus of nations because their surrounding nations are the nations that affected Israel’s history the most, and the same nations have been foretold to oppress them again in the future. Therefore, all prophecy symbolism must equal something in this geographic region, it cannot be for anywhere in the world like New York City.

We must also consider that there has to be a real literal enemy religion against Israel among men that we can see right now who sticks out above all others, and cannot be hid for the evil it engenders that has the potential to move the world step by step closer to hell on earth as a prelude to Armageddon. I am fully aware my focus is on religion rather than politics because it is pagan religion that will ruin the day during this time in history more than politics. We focus on politics only, but God and the Bible focuses more on religion. What religious nations and or evil religion is it? Or what potential murderous religion comes to mind today that could meet many of the Bible’s prophecy criteria by the prophets and in the book of Revelation? Some prophecy analyst may focus most on the revived territory state of the Anti-Christ while missing the equal importance of the pagan diabolical religion of the Anti-Christ. We must be aware that the Anti-Christ’s territory is already here, it just has a set time in history for ten nations to reform through war and revive as the prophets say. Likewise, the pagan religion of the Anti-Christ is already here also. Some maybe yet guessing what religion that is, but whatever you guess, it should be a religion that’s already here in the world that men partake in that has a history from the ancient past. It will simply keep growing, spreading, and gaining its dark evil momentum until the Anti-Christ comes on the scene in due time. I want to be very clear: the Anti-Christ’s religion is already here. Remember, Anti-Christ means against Jesus Christ and instead of Christ or opposite of Christ. If faith in Christ saves our soul, then an Anti-Christ religion will damn our souls, get it? It’s that simple. Don’t let all the symbolism of the prophets cause you dismay; everything written about is real-world everyday persons, places, and things centered on and around the Church, Israel, Jerusalem, the Promised Land, and the Middle East and then as it applies to the rest of the world.

Many nations will eventually grow into national distress and civil unrest and be affected in some way by history, politics, and religion, current events, and world affairs no matter how far they are away from ground zero of international foreign policy outcomes. And don’t kid yourselves, the epicenter of the world’s greatest future threat against peace will emanate from the Middle East with the nation of Israel as its victim of focus. It has been foretold.

Do men realize that humanity’s climactic end has been plainly spelled out for all to know how man will betray himself in the future Greek tragedy by Greek tragedy until we usher in upon ourselves what is to be known in the history of the world as the greatest final World War ever put to the written word? It’s already written. If men refuse to inform themselves with the truth of these future facts, the fault of being ill prepared for the evil days ahead will not be laid at the feet of God our Creator or his Christ, or at the feet of his modern-day disciples because Jesus Christ has finished the work of saving man from the destruction in his future. God has warned every man that has an ear to hear to fear the judgment of God to come. There is a crucible of terror that awaits the world and all nations that forget the one true God Jesus Christ and do not conform to his truth, and many nations simply will not (Psalm 9:17).

The Bible must be reconsidered, with all importance, to be the words of man’s destiny. It is not for religion’s sake but for our hope and for eternal life’s sake and will save man from the coming destructions. It is not a casual religious option for one to take interest if they desire, but is to be heeded by all men as the sacred word of our Creator. You are in the Bible no matter your religion or lack of religion. Your fate is tied to the contents of every page in the Bible just as every man’s regardless of religious or political persuasion. Ignorance is no excuse for a man not to know what’s in his future and know where he will spend eternity. Know where you stand with God by reading what’s written in the Holy Bible. Know it, and know it well, because the time is at hand, and it will be the harbinger of doom for many outside of the love and safety of Jesus Christ.

The Bible makes it very clear that the conclusion of man’s history of rule over the earth, and the time of the Gentiles, will end with the evil heresy of pagan theocratic religion at its forefront, so diabolical that religious leaders and the government heads of state leading the world at this time will be fit to be called the devil’s son of perdition (destruction), and the nations are referred to symbolically as beasts because they are so bloody. It will be a time when the world will be ravished by inconceivably violent wars between nations on a scale of which we have never seen before in the history of the world with no end for peace in sight. No nation will be exempt from the effects of these wars. Religion will rise to a level of international policy importance and facilitate a time when religious offenses will create an international incidence between nations. If men really knew what the Bible was telling us and what it is warning us from, it would make everyone want to side with Christ.

What Will Be the End-Time Religion

Have you ever thought about any of the details of what religion it will actually be at that time in history that’s so wickedly evil and without moral limits so as to publicly demand unto death your sworn allegiance? To explore the specter of a diabolical religion as a significant part of end-time events will be intriguing to say the least, since some end-time authors may not have put enough emphasis on the religion that’s playing a major role at this time in history. This book is mostly about that religion. The religion that I think will host and head the Anti-Christ’s kingdom. The Anti-Christ figure gets an enormous amount of focus as a prophecy subject. The New World Order gets a lot of attention, but what is the religion the Anti-Christ, the Beast, and the False Prophet are in cahoots with when they are wreaking havoc on mankind during this time in history? I believe with all confidence that this pagan religion is the religion of Islam. According to the Scriptures, this unholy trio will have an enormous impact on world affairs to the point of annihilating all Jews in Israel if Jesus Christ does not interrupt their menacing murdering agenda early (Mark 13:19–20).

The world will be filled with unspeakable sorrows from the deadly leadership of these dark diabolical religious and political leaders. The fallout from the catastrophic wars, political upheaval, and the social unrest because of the grand deceptions that these religious political leaders push on the public will lead the world into a very dark global depression. It will cause a level of heart-failing distress that will cause men to drop dead for fear of what’s coming on the earth next. There will be unresolvable conflicts between nations that produce a level of unbearable mental anxiety and perplexities that cannot be endured by the human emotions, and people of every nation will feign for peace, but it will be a time when the ambassadors for peace shall wail and weep bitterly over their best futile efforts to maintain peace.

There is a specific inescapable purpose behind all these world-changing events to come. Is there any curiosity in the public square as to what nations and what religion is right smack in the middle of these heavenly ordered handcrafted world judgments that lead to the end of the world? The majority of intellectuals ignores these Bible subjects and marginalizes them, calling it pie in the sky philosophy because of their own personal pride against faith in the invisible God that’s well seen by all the physical things he created? These events have all been foretold for a reason (1 Corinthians 10:1–11).

But why will the events leading up to Christ’s literal return still overtake the entire world as a thief in the night? Ignoring Christ’s words and not believing in him will not make the end of the world any less of a fact. But on the contrary, my friends, these catastrophic events of war and judgment from our Sovereign God Almighty have been designed to help make you a believer. It is written, Thus says the Lord of hosts [of all created forces]. It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities, and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another saying, let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts, I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations [including Muslim nations] shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and pray before the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts. In those days it shall come to pass that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt [robe hem] of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you (Zechariah 8:20–23 KJV). Apparently sweeping judgments from the Lord’s firm hand of justice has changed the hearts and minds of many people, especially Muslim nations, at this time in our future. This same prophet said in chapter 12 that the nations are round about Jerusalem and Judah, and these nations, with no exception, are all
