XR7: Just Freepmailed him. Thanks!
LOL,
I joined the forum simply to say thanks for posting links to my book. I get a feed of all of the sites that jump to my book each day and saw your discussion here. Thus I joined a few weeks back.
By the way, while I very strongly lean toward Pre-millenialism, I am very open to Amill. That's fine. Though I think that it is impossible to be a total preterist without denying the overwhelming evidence of the futurist position among the earliest Church Fathers. If these guys were associates of the Apostle John - Polycarp, Clement, Ignatius, Papias, then I trust their position better tham most.
As far as giving credence to the Muslim prophecies, I do not. What I do do is consider if Satan, after having had his primary plans laid bare before the world, inspired, directed and assisted the developement of the Muslim prophecies. Thus by inspiring in a growing world religion a very similar anti-parallel (except with all the bad guys being the good guys and vice-versa) he has now essentially set up one-fifth of the world to recieve his man (antichrist) with open arms as their prophesied and awaited savior. Think about it. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Anyone see the special the other night about Texans converting to Islam in droves? Give it another twenty five years and Islam will by-pass Christianity as the World's largest religion.
Meanwhile Ahmadinejad is calling for the destruction of Israel and World peace under Mahdi. Still looking for an evil Pope?
