Will the Muslim Caliph Rule from the Temple Mount? - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 6 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 25 & 24

End Times Eyewitness:
Israel, Islam and the Unfolding
Signs of Messiah's Return

This is Part 6 post of a 9-part series on what Islam teaches about "End Times" prophecy. (Tweet that!) It amazes me that Islam even has prophecies of the "End Times" and I wonder if it did from its beginning (the 7th century A.D.). (Tweet that!) It's so clear to see how the End Times prophecies in the Bible have been stolen and twisted into something close but different...and yet the same because the "messiah figures" of Islam have written themselves right into the Bible prophecies of the Antichrist and his False Prophet -- the agents of evil. (Tweet that!)

Satan's mission is to steal, kill, and destroy and he thinks that by "stealing" the Bible prophecies -- which were actually written about him -- twisting them into something that looks attractive to some, he can kill the people who truly love God and destroy God's prophecies of the End Times. But the fact is the End Times prophecies will play out just as God has said and God is the Victor, not Satan. (Tweet that!)

I am presenting this series of blog posts to inform Christians (because I know you'll be fascinated as I am!), and to educate those who do not know about these things (Tweet that!) so you will not be taken in by the twisted lies but will see the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ -- and therefore will follow him only. (Tweet that!)

If you have not read the previous posts in this series, you will find links to them under "Related Posts" at the bottom of this post.

My thanks to Joel Richardson and his team for creating this enlightening DVD. Here's another piece of interesting information form the DVD:

Joel Richardson introduced this section of the DVD with this: "To discuss the Muslim expectations concerning their two primary Messiah figures, I sat down with two Muslim leaders. The first was Adnar Oktar of Istanbul. And the second was Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri. Sabri is the President of Quranic and Islamic Studies at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem...."

Continuing a bit later on the DVD:

Joel Richardson: "...according to Islamic prophecy, the Mahdi will be a Muslim Caliph, or a global Muslim leader, together with the Muslim Jesus, will actually establish his seat of Islamic authority on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem." 

[Sabri,explaining Muslim beliefs as translated in captions on DVD:] "The Mahdi will be Caliph for the Muslims. The Muslims will follow him and his rule. Due to the fact that Jerusalem and Palestine are the center of the Islamic world, there can be no question that the Muslims and the Mahdi will be established there during that period of time. When Mahdi will come at the end of days his rule will not stand only in Jerusalem or Palestine but in all the world."

Do not be deceived. This is not the true Jesus. (Tweet that!) This is the Antichrist and his False Prophet who have come to deceive the whole world (if that were possible). His mission is to steal the position of King that the real Jesus truly owns, to kill and destroy the people who love the true Jesus. (Tweet that!) The Antichrist and his False Prophet will be able to wreak havoc in this world, but ultimately they will not succeed. (Tweet that!)

So who will you follow? Can you tell the difference between the players? (Tweet that!) Between the real Jesus and this masked impostor called the "Muslim Jesus"? (Tweet that!)

Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. (Mark 13:5-6)

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 

He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. (Luke 21:7-8)

Muslims Teach the Lie that Jesus Will Deny the Cross! - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 2 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 33 & 32

In the previous post we started exploring Joel Richardson's DVD End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return. Mr. Richardson exposes the lies the religion of Islam teaches regarding the return of Jesus Christ. (Tweet that!)

It's so easy to see the fingerprints of Satan all over how Islam has twisted the End Times prophecies in the Bible. (Tweet that!)

Joel Richardson on his DVD:

"To discuss the Muslim expectations concerning their two primary Messiah figures, I sat down with … Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri. Sabri is the President of Quranic and Islamic Studies at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. He is also the son of the former grand [Muhvdi?] in Jerusalem." 

[Sabri speaking, translated in captions on DVD:] "According to our theology, the Mahdi is a righteous man. Almighty God will send him at the end of days in order to fulfill justice during that period of time he will rule, and then he will die. Mahdi is a normal person. It is important to us, that in our faith, if the Mahdi will appear, we will support him. According to our faith, he will meet with Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ will come at the end of days and they will work together to establish justice in the world." 

[Joel Richardson:] "According to Muslim belief, when Jesus returns he will come back as a Muslim who will deny that he ever claimed divinity or ever claimed to be the Son of God or ever died on a cross.

[Sabri, translated in captions on DVD:] "When Jesus will come back he will break the cross. It is an illustration of denying the events that took place on the cross, and to proclaim to the world that he was never crucified."

Of course none of this is true. None of it.

Islam teaches their Muslim Jesus will return to publicly deny that he ever died on the cross. Ironic, isn't it, that Muslim extremists called the 21 Coptic Christians they beheaded "People of the Cross." (Tweet that!)

Their own testimony of calling these Christians "People of the Cross" shows the lie of their prophetic teachings and reveals they know it's a lie. (Tweet that!)

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to use who are being saved, it is the power of God."  (1 Corinthians 1:18, NIV 1984)

Breaking News Headline: Where was Jesus in the Paris Shootings Wednesday?

I'm interrupting the series of blog posts I had planned in order to talk about Wednesday's terrorist shooting in Paris. In my previous post I said the next four posts would be about the coming solar and lunar eclipses and the Shemitah. However I also said:

Certainly we'll witness many unpredictable events also [in 2015]. And as the unforeseeable unfolds in the coming months, we will explore them right here in the light of Bible prophecy. That's what this blog is all about.

This morning I woke up to a couple of Tweet messages directed to me personally. (Tweet that!) This Tweeter, I'll call him "Al," sent me these two Tweets:

Al: @DianneEButts Where was Jesus in Paris this morning?

Al:@DianneEButts  It appears as though even God is afraid of Islam.

Well to answer the first question, Jesus was there. I know He was there, because He is God, come in human flesh. The Ever Present One. The All Knowing. The All Powerful.

Jesus is not "a prophet" like some claim. He has no equal. He is the one true God. Muhammad is not His prophet.

But if Jesus is the one true God, present everywhere, knowing everything even before it happens, the all powerful able to do anything, then that begs the question this Tweet-er was truly asking:

Then why didn't God do something?

What would you want Him to do? My guess is your answer is, "Stop it!"

Better yet, why doesn't God wipe out all evil?

Well the answer is because then He would have to wipe out all of us. Because we all have evil living inside of us. We do evil things. Every one of us. In varying degrees of evil. This is called sin.

Every one of us has sinned against God. If He were to wipe out evil, He'd have to wipe us all out.

I know what you're thinking: "Anything I have done is not anywhere near the evil these terrorist gunman have done!"

Maybe not, by our standards. Human have varying degrees of wrong-doing, and rightly so. The legal penalty for murder is much harsher than for stealing a candy bar. But in God's sight, sin is sin. And all sin is deserving of the death penalty.

You may think that anything you (or I) have done is not as bad as what these (or any) terrorists have done. But then we have to ask, compared to what? Or more precisely, compared to Whom? Compared to Jesus (who was without sin), even our smallest sin colors our lives completely black and deserving of death.

So, you see, we're all in a heap of trouble with God.

But then Jesus stepped into the world and He took that death penalty for sin for every single person of all time who willingly accepts that gift from Him. (Tweet that!)

Will you? Have you? If not, do so now.

That is our only hope, the only way into heaven.

But that still leaves us with the problem of evil on earth, and the desperate heartache of the results of evil, such as these murdered loved ones in Paris. Believe me, my heart breaks for them. I have a special place in my heart for law enforcement officers because I have some in my family. Seeing that police man beg for his life and be shot... Words can't express. I pray for his family. And for all the families of the dead.

It appears as though even God is afraid of Islam.

Yes, it may appear so. But things are not as they appear.

God -- that is, the One True God Who made the heavens and earth -- is not afraid of Islam. Islam does NOT represent the One True God. And there is coming a day when this God, the only God, will put a stop to all of this evil. He will finally deal with every person on earth and He will separate those who have accepted His gift of salvation from all those who refuse.

Personally, I don't think that day is far off. That's why I write this blog. To reach those who will believe in Jesus. Because I truly believe that day of reckoning is coming, and coming sooner than most people believe. (Tweet that!) It's not a thousand years away. It's not even a hundred years away. I believe it is here. Now. Knocking on the door. We're almost out of time.

In the mean time, Islam and terrorism and violence and lies about the true God and war and rumors of war will continue to escalate.

Why is God waiting? He's waiting for the final ones to respond to Him. Is He waiting for you?

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9, NIV).

Words of Jesus:

"All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them" (John 16:1-4, NIV). 

Dear America:
A Letter of Comfort & Hope
to a Grieving Nation 

I came to my conclusions about Jesus through my own experiences of losing loved ones. I told my story in my first book, Dear America. If you're interested, it's available for Amazon's Kindle (in English) in many countries and in print through Amazon.com in America.


The following video remembers the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in the United States, however the message is the same for those in this terrorist shooting in Paris on January 7, 2015, for those who have been beheaded or otherwise killed for their Christian faith, and in fact for all people in oh so many other occasions. Hear what Jesus might say to you if He were here in flesh:

Why Did God Give Us Prophecies? Part 2

www.Morguefile.com 

There is another reason God gave us prophecies. That is so we could identify The Anointed One. (Tweet that!)

The Anointed One is the Bible's term for "the one" person God was referring to. (Tweet that!)

This term, "the Anointed One," has become know by other words today: (Tweet that!)

• Messiah (Hebrew)
• Christ (Greek)

This Anointed One is the person God promised to send. This was the person all the prophecies pointed to. The One who would fulfill all the prophecies. (See Acts 10:36-43.)

That is how he--the Anointed One, the Christ, the Messiah--was to be identified. (Tweet that!)

The religious leaders in Jesus' time were supposed to recognize the Messiah when he came. But they did not believe Jesus was the Messiah.

They didn't look hard enough. Jesus accused them of willfully refusing to see (John 9).

But if they, the religious leaders of Jesus' time, had really looked into the prophecies and then investigated whether or not Jesus fulfilled them, they would have discovered he fulfilled them. All of them. Perfectly. (Tweet that!)

Some high-powered Jews did believe Jesus was the Messiah. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea were two (John 19:38-39).

But in one of the biggest ironies in human history, most of the Jewish leaders who were trained to recognize Messiah and lead the people in knowing him did not recognize Jesus was the Messiah.

This is another reason why God gave us prophecies: so we could see when one person fulfilled them. And when we saw The One who did, we would know he was the Christ, the Messiah. (Tweet that!)
