Go to yourarmstoisrael.org and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast" for a good read about The harlot of Babylon-Saudi Arabia-Mecca-Iran and so forth.

You said -- "Go to yourarmstoisrael.org and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast" for a good read about The harlot of Babylon-Saudi Arabia-Mecca-Iran and so forth."

Interesting..., I'll have to look further when I have more time.

BUT, a quick look caused me to notice a few things. For one thing, they deny the Rapture, which is clearly taught in the Bible. Now, there are other Christians who deny this, too -- but that doesn't make it "not true" -- simply because a certain segment of Christianity denies it. I believe the denial of the Rapture is one part of the end-times deception that will go on.

And then, there is another thing I noticed. That group *denies* that there are *three groups* talked about in the Bible -- and spoken to in the Bible. Those three groups are (1) the Jews, (2) the Church, and (3) the Gentiles. If you lose that three-fold division, you lose the ability to clearly understand what parts of the Bible are talking to what group. And then things get confused rather quickly. Keep that three-fold division (as the Apostle Paul refers to it, too).

Finally, it appears that this group is trying to *stretch* Bible verses and passages around current events -- to make them *fit* on top of these current-day events. It "sounds marvelous" -- until you realize that it's a stretch and it's allegorizing certain things, missing other parts and denying other parts. It's a *mish-mash* of mistakes.

But, even so -- with their mish-mash of prophecy-related items -- *at first glance* they do appear to have the *basis* for Christianity down (i.e., "salvation"). But, like I said -- this is *first glance*. I would have to look at it further.

There's no question about it -- though -- it's definitely outside of *mainstream* and *historic* Christianity. I don't think I would depend upon it for prophetic interpretation...

P.S. -- Also, when some preacher (or "rabbi") tells me that He's got a direct communication from God (i.e., something "private" to him alone) -- then I know something is wrong. God gave us the Bible which is 100% sufficient for all things. There is no need for "private communication" with "Yahweh" to get an answer. The Bible is there for that. God says that everything we need is in it. That's definitely a sign that something is wrong -- when we start hearing about these kinds of "private communications" with God.
