Now that was a long read...While I agree with the scenario I would like to add that this did not include the work being done by the Vatican to move its headquarters or at least have an outreach with a 'throne' for the pope in Jerusalem...And while I believe the anti-Christ will be of Arab-Israeli descent, I also believe the false prophet will be of the Catholic religion...

Catholics and Izlamaniacs worship the same God while Protestants are considered to be non Christians...When the pope gets on that throne in Jerusalem and has an ex-cathedra moment to tell us that Catholicism and Izlam are now united under God, the church of the Bible will have no more place on the earth...

Thanks for the good read...

Considered by whom? Not by the Catholic Church. The same document everyone cites about Muslims says about Protestants:

The Church recognizes that in many ways she is linked with those who, being baptized, are honored with the name of Christian, though they do not profess the faith in its entirety or do not preserve unity of communion with the successor of Peter. (14*) For there are many who honor Sacred Scripture, taking it as a norm of belief and a pattern of life, and who show a sincere zeal. They lovingly believe in God the Father Almighty and in Christ, the Son of God and Saviour. (15*) They are consecrated by baptism, in which they are united with Christ. They also recognize and accept other sacraments within their own Churches or ecclesiastical communities. ... They also share with us in prayer and other spiritual benefits. Likewise we can say that in some real way they are joined with us in the Holy Spirit, for to them too He gives His gifts and graces whereby He is operative among them with His sanctifying power. Some indeed He has strengthened to the extent of the shedding of their blood.

When the pope gets on that throne in Jerusalem and has an ex-cathedra moment to tell us that Catholicism and Izlam are now united under God

... he will have committed formal, public apostasy, and will thereby cease to be Pope.
