Is Islam the Beast? – Heaven Net
All the following information came from this site, summarized and edited.
Seven empires
1. Egypt
2. Assyria
3. Babylon
4. Medo-Persia
5. Greece
6. Rome (includes Byzantine empire/ eastern Roman empire ruled from Constantinople)
7. Ottoman (ruled from 1453 to 1924) This empire suffered a deadly blow but is being revived )
*Constantinople is now Istanbul, Turkey
*In Rev. 2:12 Satan's throne is in Pergamum (present day Turkey)
*The Great Sea mentioned is the Mediterranean. All those empires shared the Mediterranean Sea.
*The 8th Empire is Islam. Since 2010, we have seen chaos and upheaval starting in Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Syria. The formation of ISIS spreading from Syria into Iraq. There are also 80 Islamic terrorist groups worldwide in over 80 countries and the Muslim population is spreading 5 x faster than the western nations, which means, cultures are slowly disappearing and will dominated by Muslims in decades (if God tarries that long - I don't believe He will).
*It is interesting that the number
666 written in Greek looks almost identical to the Arabic words,
"In the name of Allah".
*Rev. 20:4
Beheading is the signature of Islamic terrorism.
In the Quran, Surah 47:4 "When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks ..."
"And He shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to
change times and the laws and they shall be given into his had until a time and times and a half of time." Dan. 7:25
*Islam wants to change Greenwich Mean Time to Mecca Time. In 2010, Saudi Arabia built a clock 6 times taller than Big Ben - symbolizing a greater importance of their time zone.
*It is no mystery that Islam wants to change the law to Sharia Law.
*According to Dan. 7:3-7 and Rev. 31:2, the Beast will rise from lands once ruled by Babylonian, Persia and Greek empires.
*The False Prophet - Mohammed was a self proclaimed prophet who did not perform one miracle nor did he ascend to heaven (those stories were fabricated 300 years later)
* In Isaiah 14, Lucifer = Heylal Ben Shahar which means Morning Star/ Crescent Moon
The Crescent Moon and star are the symbol of Islam. It's interesting how Satan managed to get his name on the top of every Mosque in the world!
* Islam reject Jesus as the Son of God. In their most famous Mosque, these words are engraved in stone: "Jesus, son of Mary, was only a messenger of God" and "God has no son"
* "There is one god, Allah and his messenger, Mohammed." That's would be considered blaspheme.
*The Beast conceals his name behind a façade of Peace. "Islam is Peace." Is Jihad peace?
* Surah 9:5 " ... fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captives, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
The Quran contains over 100 verses that dictate war.
*All the false gods worshipped in these fallen empires used the Crescent moon and Star as symbols. If any city is to be likened to Babylon, it is Mecca. No other modern city trades the in ancient merchandise as described in Rev. 18:12, 13 as they still do in Mecca.
*So, the Antichrist will be political, military and religious leader. Islam cannot separate religion from government as the west does, therefore this little horn will be and enforce Sharia Law on everyone. The west would not do this if it were the EU, US or the G7.
*Islam has waged war against the US, the west and Israel. A revived Roman empire would not do this.
*Currently, an alliance seems to be happening between Turkey, Iran and Syria, also supported by Russia.
It is said that the Antichrist may come from Syria. Or maybe the Ayatollah, since they are #1 sponsor of terrorism and close to having nukes (they may already have them).
* Ten nations will be formed when the Antichrist appears. Their unity will be mixed like iron and clay, but make no mistake they will have a common purpose, to destroy the west, Christianity and Israel and anyone who does not bow down to Allah.
