Are Mass Migrations Part of Bible Prophecy? - Rick Wiles (Video)

Rick Wiles from www.TruNews.com guest on the
Jim Bakker Show

Rick Wiles, from www.TruNews.com, visited the Jim Bakker Show recently and talked about the mass migration of people we are seeing in the world today. It's not only the illegal immigration the United States has seen of people crossing its borders which has been going on for many years now. More recently, due to the advancement of Islam in the Middle East, throngs of people are moving into European countries. I'm sure you've seen that on the news.

What does it mean in light of Bible prophecy? Here's a short video in which Rick Wiles talks about how this mass migration could, and probably will, spread throughout the world and how that will require a worldwide system to manage everything. (Tweet that!)

For Bible and prophecy students, we recognize this as the Biblically prophesied "One World Government" (Tweet that!) which will allow an evil world dictator to take over all economies and ruling systems that now exists in the world.

It [that is, the second Beast] also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Revelation 13:16-17, NIV)

In addition, it seems to be coming clearer every day that "radical Islam" – that is, Islam forcing itself on all others and killing any other faith – will play a clear role in the End Times. (Tweet that!) So listen as Rick Wiles talks about Jihadists within the masses migrating from the Middle East to Europe:

I'll admit that I have not heard of Rick Wiles before, nor his work at "TruNews.com." However it seems he's worth becoming familiar with. We'll view another video from him in the next post.

For today, however, think about how these current-day mass migrations might be part of Bible prophecy being fulfilled right before our very eyes. (Tweet that!)

Islamic Prophecies Mimic But Twist Bible Prophecy - Two More Articles

I hope you enjoyed the series of Pastor John Hagee's sermons on the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. I found them informative and inspiring.

If you missed any, here are links to all four:

During that series I also reminded us of my series of articles from last February and March about Islamic prophecy and how it takes the true Bible prophecies of the End Times and twists them all out of shape in order to make Jesus Christ look evil and to make Islam look like the true religion of the true God.  (Tweet that!) This is all, of course, evil in the extreme. Nonetheless, that is what Islam does.

During the series of four posts with Pastor John Hagee's messages, I also included links to two of these articles at the bottom of each post, for a total of eight linked articles. There are two more in my series, so to finish up I'm sharing those last two here: (Tweet that!)

John Hagee Preaches on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Horse #4: The Green Horse and It's Rider (Video)

Pastor John Hagee: The Green Horse

In the previous three posts we've been listening to Pastor John Hagee's four-part sermon series on the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." (Tweet that!)

Of course studying Bible prophecy and scripture and the End Times is one of my passions, as you know if you've followed this blog at all.

Today we'll look at the fourth and final part in Pastor Hagee's sermon series. I've very grateful he did this series. As I said when we started back in the October 6 post, the interpretations of these prophecies are changing as the world events take place and the world changes. (Tweet that!) As fulfillment of these prophecies draws nearer, pieces come into view that we could not see before. (Tweet that!)

As Pastor Hagee says in this video, the final Horse of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" has been interpreted and translated as a "Pale Horse," but the literal meaning of the words translated are the "Green Horse." (Tweet that!)

What's a green horse, you may ask? Besides the idea of dead, rotting flesh, as in gangrene, there could also be the interpretation of the Green Horse symbolizing Islam, as green is the official color of Islam. (Tweet that!) That was a new thought for me.

The Green Horse and its Rider is introduced in Revelation 6:7-8. In this translation, this horse has been translated as the "Pale" horse:

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)

Of course "Hades" is also known as Hell.

Pastor John Hagee: The Black Horse

The third part of Pastor John Hagee's four-part sermon series on "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is about The Black horse.

This third horse carries a rider who holds a pair of scales to weigh food. The food is very expensive indicating a severe famine over all the earth. (Tweet that!)

There is so much more that I learned from Pastor Hagee in this sermon so I hope you will take the time to watch it.  (Tweet that!)

The Bible verses that describe the rider of the Black Horse are in Revelation 6:5-6 here:

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" (Revelation 6:5-6)

If you missed the first two posts and sermons on the White Horse ridden by the AntiChrist and the Red whose rider goes out to make war on the earth, you can listen to those on the previous two posts. There are links to them at the bottom of this post.

John Hagee Preaches on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Horse #2: The Red Horse and Its Rider (Video)

Pastor John Hagee: The Red Horse

In the previous post we heard the first of a four-part sermon series from Pastor John Hagee on "The Four Horses of the Apocalypse."

The first horse is the White Horse and its rider is the AntiChrist who rides out to conquer and make war throughout the earth.

This sermon is on the Red Horse and Its Rider. The Red Horse and its rider will be given power to "take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other." (Tweet that!) This rider is given a "large sword."

This passage is found in the Bible in Revelation 6:1-8:

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. 

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword. (Revelation 6:1-4)

John Hagee Preaches on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Horse #1: The White Horse and Its Rider (Video)

Pastor John Hagee: The White Horse

John Hagee has been preaching a four-part series on "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." (Tweet that!) I have learned new information and what's fascinating to me is how the interpretations of these Bible prophecies are changing based on our current events happening in the world right now! (Tweet that!) My own interpretations are changing as well, which is immensely interesting to me. I always knew our understanding would change as the world changes and as the End Times come nearer and nearer, almost in view.

One mistaken idea I had was that as I read through the Revelation 6:1-8, I thought the rider on the while horse was Jesus because the rider was crowned and went out to win some battles. (Tweet that!) Then I thought the other three horses were heaven-sent to bring judgment on the earth.

Oh I was so wrong! Now I see that the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2 is not at all Jesus but one who is mimicking Jesus, working to steal Jesus' people for his own evil kingdom, and defeat Jesus. This would be the Antichrist. (Tweet that!)

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. (Revelation 6:1-2)

Yes, he is crowned, for the Antichrist crowns himself king of his own evil kingdom. And he wins some battles. But he is not the King of kings and Lord of lords Who is crowned with many crowns and wins the final battle for all time. (Tweet that!)

Jesus is not the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6:1-8, but He is the triumphant rider of the white horse in Revelation 19:11-16:

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: 

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

So understand this: In Revelation 6:1-8, the Four Riders on the Four Horses of the Apocalypse are hell-sent. (Tweet that!)

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

In this final post in this 9-part series on comparing and contrasting Islamic prophecies and End Times prophecies of the Bible, Joel Richardson said this:

[Joel Richardson narrating on the DVD]: "Many other similarities could be listed, but the point is clear: the expectations of many Muslims throughout the earth concerning the Mahdi, and their version of Jesus, bears a striking resemblance to what the Bible describes concerning the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Though as unusual as much of this information may be to Christians, many Muslims believe that their Mahdi is already here on the earth." 

[Joel Richard interviewing Adnar Oktar on the TV program's set:] "We're living in the time of the Mahdi right now?" 

[Adnar Oktar, Turkish Muslim Leader, Television Host [translated and captioned on DVD]: "Yes. We believe that Mahdi is come and is busy with preparation. We believe that he appeared in Istanbul. That is how it is related in the Jewish Scriptures. This is how it is related in Islamic accounts as well. The Shia accounts also state that he will appear in Istanbul. The prominent religious leaders in Iran also state that he will appear in Istanbul. There is no other time for this than now." 

[Joel Richardson summing up in narration on the DVD:] "Simply stated, in light of the many startling ways in which the Islamic Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus align with the Biblical expectations concerning the Antichrist and the False Prophet, discerning Christians would do well to be aware of the rise of Messianic expectations throughout the Islamic world, particularly in light of Jesus' warnings that the last days would be marked by the appearance of "false prophets [who] will arise and mislead many."

And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.  Matthew 24:11

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

This another interesting parallel between the Islamic "end of days prophecies" and the End Time prophecies in the Bible. (Tweet that!)

I hope you understand there is no coincidence in all these parallels. (Tweet that!) The evil one, Satan, is very well aware of what God has predicted in His Word, the Bible. Satan has been around since before the Bible was written and he is well aware of what it says. (Tweet that!)

Also, Satan is very good at counterfeiting what God has created (because Satan cannot create anything on his own). (Tweet that!) So all the so-called "prophecies" that Islam teaches and believes are counterfeited and twisted from what God has done.

For example the true God is one God expressed in the Father, the Son which is Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. (These three are known as the Trinity.) According to the book of Revelation in the Bible, in the End Times Satan will mimic this holy Trinity with his own unholy trinity: The Beast (Satan himself), the Antichrist, and the False Prophet. (Tweet that!)

So it's no coincidence at all that the "prophecies" of Islam also talk of a 7-year rule of Antichrist, as the Bible does. (Tweet that!)  Here is another byte from the "End Times Eyewitness" DVD:

[Joel Richardson's introduction to this portion of the DVD:] "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." 

[A little later, Joel Richardson narrating on the DVD:] "Because the Bible teaches that the Antichrist will rule for a period of seven years, many Christians are surprised to find out that according to Islamic prophecy the Mahdi will also rule specifically for a period of seven years." 

[Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri, translated in captions on DVD:] "There is more than one tradition concerning how long the rule of the Mahdi will be. The most common version is seven years."

(Tweet that!)

When the Bible speaks of the last 7 years, these seven years are divided into two: the first 3.5 years of a "false peace" when everything appears to be going great under the rule of the Antichrist (although anyone who follows and worships the true God will be persecuted and, if they don't denounce Him, will be killed. So it's really not so great after all.)

The Antichrist will then set himself up as "God" in the Jewish rebuilt Temple, which is the Abomination that Causes Desolation. During the second 3.5 years then all hell breaks loose leading up to the Battle of Armageddon -- in which God and his people are victorious over the Antichrist and all evil -- and the end of all as we know it. 

Here are some Bible prophecies about the last 7 years of life on earth as we know it now:

Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." (Revelation 11:1-3, ESV)

Remember that on the Hebrew/Jewish calendar a month is 30 days, so 1,260 days equals 42 months which equals 3.5 years. (Tweet that!)

In some Bible verses this 3.5 years is said this way:

• "a time, and times, and half a time"
• interpreted as a year plus two years plus half a year ( or 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 3 1/2 years)

Also, for more please take the time to look at these verses:

• Daniel 7:25
• Daniel 12:7
• Revelation 12:6
• Revelation 12:14

Inhabitants of the Earth Will Worship the Beast - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 3 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 31 & 30

Continuing our study of the lies Islam teaches about the return of the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, here's more from Joel Richardson's DVD End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return. (Tweet that!)

Today we'll hear from Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri. Sabri is the President of Quranic and Islamic Studies at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem.

From the DVD:

Joel Richardson narrating: "According to the Muslim expectation, together, the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus, will cause Islam to become supreme throughout the world causing most to become Muslims. Likewise, according to the Bible, the Antichrist and the False Prophet will force all inhabitants of the world to follow them." 

[Sabri, in interview translated in captions on DVD:] "The non-Muslims will not be completely demolished, but there will be an overcoming of Islam, because it will grow stronger. As we know, because Islam will become stronger as it is in stronger Islamic countries. Its followers will increase in number. Of course one of the main reasons for the increase of Islam will be the appearance of Jesus according to our religion. When Jesus will come he will speak to the Christians and to the other religions, proclaiming that he is Jesus and he will champion the laws of Mohammad, then there will be a great numbers of Christians who will choose Islam as their new religion. Because the prophet they believed in will proclaim the religion of Mohammad."

Of course any person who comes claiming to be Jesus and then who denies the truth of the Cross and urges anyone to believe in "the religion of Mohammad" is not Jesus but is a fraud, a liar, and an agent of Satan. (Tweet that!)

The true Jesus would never ever ever promote another religion. Anyone who thinks that could happen is beyond ignorant. (Tweet that!) Jesus Himself is the Truth. He said so in John 14:6.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6

Jesus is the true "religion," although it's not a religion -- it's simply the truth. Anything else is a false religion, which is a system of rules or rituals meant to appease a god. Jesus would never promote a false religion!

A true Christian will never abandon Jesus. Nor will we ever worship the Beast that is Satan.

"All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world." (Revelation 13:8 NIV, 1984) 

"He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed." (Revelation 13:12 NIV, 1984) 

"Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth." (Revelation 13:14a NIV, 1984) 

"He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed." (Revelation 13:15 NIV, 1984)

Tweetables:

According to the Muslim expectation, together, the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus, will cause Islam to become supreme throughout the world causing most to become Muslims. (Tweet it.)

Likewise, according to the Bible, the Antichrist and the False Prophet will force all inhabitants of the world to follow them. (Tweet it.)

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)

Joel Richardson's
End Times Eyewitness:
Israel, Islam and the Unfolding
Signs of Messiah's Return
WND.com

In my post on February 19, What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind?, I mentioned the DVD End Times Eyewitness. My friend, Walt, loaned me his copy of this DVD and I found much of the information absolutely amazing. The parallels between Bible prophecy and Islamic prophecy astounded me. (Tweet that!)

This information is new to me, so I'm assuming it will be new to many Christians. (Tweet that!) I feel it's important for Christians (and others) to be aware of and informed about what Muslims are saying and believing about these End Times. (Tweet that!) So today I'm starting a series of posts to relate some information from this important DVD.

The DVD is by Joel Richardson, author of the book The Islamic Antichrist, and was produced by WND Films (WorldNetDaily.com).

You know? I truly hate to date myself with the phrase, "I remember when..." But truly, it wasn't that long ago that I remember when popular thought from Bible prophecy geeks and Bible scholars was that the Antichrist would come out of the revived Roman empire. (Tweet that!) I remember prophecy leaders talking about the possibility that the Antichirst could come out of Great Britain. There were even discussions of Prince Charles, who was born the same year as Israel (1948), and the red dragon on the back of the throne and did it have meaning in light of the prophecies in the Bible book of Revelation about the Red Dragon?

There have been many, many theories about the Antichrist and who he may be. And I don’t think that’s wrong because we are supposed to be watching and trying to figure it all out so we will not be caught unaware or unprepared. But my how times have changed.

I have always believed that more about prophecy would become clear as the coming of Jesus approaches. I believe the closer we get the more clearly we'll be able to see how Bible prophecies will be fulfilled. Now that I'm learning about Islamic prophecies, it's amazingly clear how the evil one, Satan, might be working to try to usurp the Bible's End Times prophecies and put himself in the place of Jesus Christ.

We've talked about the End Times Bible prophecy of false prophets appearing and deceiving many people. Please keep that in mind as you read this series of posts.

I'd like you to hear it from Joel Richardson himself. In his DVD, this is what Mr. Richardson says:

Joel Richardson speaking on his DVD:

“Another major sign that Jesus warned of with regard to the last days would be the rise of false prophets. Today, throughout the Islamic world, in the nations that surround Israel, there is a dramatic rise in Messianic expectation. 

“According to Islamic theology, Muslims are expecting, in the last days, two primary Messiah figures. The first individual they call the Mahdi. In Iran they call him the 12^th Imam. The Mahdi is essentially a religious, military, political leader that comes in the last days to cause all the world to convert to Islam. 

“The second individual that Muslims are looking for is Isa Al-Massi [sp?] or Jesus Christ. Muslims teach that when Jesus comes back, he comes back as a Muslim to tell all the people of the world, including Christians, that he never died on the cross. He never claimed to be the Son of God. That Islam is the only true religion. And that all people should convert to Islam and submit to the Mahdi."

The Bible gives this prophecy concerning the Antichrist:

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. (Revelation 13:5-8) 

Please stop by for the next post where we'll learn more about the amazing parallels between the prophecies in the Bible and Islamic prophecy.

End Times Eyewitness,
the DVD Walt loaned me
which I plan to tell you more
about in coming posts on this blog.

Today I want to tell you about Walt. Maybe you have a "Walt" in your life too. Walt sat directly in front of me and my family in church. A large man, he blocked my view of the Pastor and pulpit so I would have to lean right or left to look around him to see the Pastor as he speaks his sermon. But sitting close to Walt was enjoyable because I could hear his deep baritone voice as he sang the hymns.

After church Walt and I would have some great conversations. Walt loved prophecy as much as I do, and prophecy had a big impact in Walt's life like it has mine. And so every Sunday morning we would talk about what we'd seen going on in the world that week that matched up with Bible prophecy. Walt would often write down on pieces of paper web sites he'd been exploring and he'd bring those to me to check out. As a matter of fact I have two of those pieces of paper laying here on my desks right now. We'd talk about the prophecy books we were reading or the DVDs we'd seen that week. Often we would loan each other books and DVDs.

As a matter of fact, only last month Walt loaned me a DVD that so impacted me I immediately ordered a copy for myself so I could return his. The DVD is End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return by Joel Richardson and I've been planning to glean some quotations from that DVD to share with you here on the blog. I just haven't got that far yet.

Walt and I had one of those great conversations about prophecy the Sunday before last, on February 8th. Which is why it was such a shock to get a phone call that following Thursday, February 12, telling us Walt had gone home to be with the Lord. Just that quick he was gone. (Probably a heart attack, though we don't know yet.)

Last Sunday our Sunday school leader told us the topic we'll be studying next: the book by Jonathan Cahn, The Mystery of the Shemitah. Walt gave that book to our Sunday school leader who had planned to have Walt in the class to help answer questions, guide us, etc. Now the class inspired by Walt will go on, but Walt won't be there.

Sunday there was this big empty space in front of me where Walt usually sits. On my couch, beside where I do my daily Bible reading, lays a book, The Islamic Antichrist by Joel Richardson, and another DVD about the Bible book of Daniel by Perry Stone -- the most-recent loaners from Walt.

Today, even though it's Thursday, we're at the church. Today we're attending a celebration of Walt's life. There's a lot to celebrate.

I can only try to imagine what it's like where Walt is right now. He is with the Lord Jesus Christ, experiencing the promise of eternal life which is for all those (and only those) who are believers in Jesus. (Tweet that!) I believe Walt now knows all the answers -- about where we are in God's timeline of the End Times, of what's going on with Russia, what God has planned for those evil men who have beheaded our brothers in Christ, and so much more.

For the rest of us who are still here, Walt left a great legacy. He taught many people like me a lot--probably more than he knew. He lived a life that honored the Lord Jesus Christ. He lived for Jesus right up to the very end. And the impact he left on many lives encouraging us in these End Times and strengthening our faith in Jesus continues on.

For me, it's a great time to ponder what legacy I'm leaving behind. What about you? (Tweet that!) My hope is that I'll do as well as Walt.

Today's video has a lot of information that was new and interesting to me. (Tweet that!) I'm not sure that I think they have everything right. For example, I'm not sure the Islamic Black Stone housed in the Kaaba will be the Abomination that causes desolation (see Daniel 11:31, 12:11, Matthew 24:15, and Mark 13:14 as well as the Related Articles listed at the end of this post). I've always thought that Abomination would the Antichrist himself setting himself up as God in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Still, I was amazed at some of the new things I learned and new thoughts introduced in this video (Tweet that!) so I wanted to share it with you.

There is also information on Islamic prophecy and how it runs along side with Bible prophecy. (Tweet that!) I've been learning a lot about this lately and it is so fascinating to see how evil has twisted the Bible prophecies for evil's purposes. (Tweet that!) I hope to share more on that topic with you soon.

For today, there's a ton of interesting information in this video, more than I can describe. I hope you can watch it.
