And who has more money than the Islamic oil rich nations? I believe sharia banking will become more and more prominent in the near future with a peacenik moderate muslim leader who heads it all.
Well, that’s what Walid Shoebat has been speaking about. And he has a book out documenting all of what he’s been saying. However, I’m not sold on the idea....
I’m holding off and considering it a bit longer.... :-)
It makes much sense that Satan would create something that might appear like Bible prophecies.
Its possible that Satan created his prophecies to coincide with Bible prophecies to stir up his Muslim followers to cause death and destruction upon the earth.
Some scholars I have read, believe the AC to be Jewish, to win the hearts and allegiance of Israel. Signing the 7 year peace plan and pushing through the building of the temple.
Still others believe he comes out of Europe.
There are numerous prophecies out there about the End Times. The Mahdi, December 2012, The Man In The Blue Turban. Things that MIGHT fit, and some could ACTUALLY be fairly accurate. But Bible prophecy is the only prophecy to truely be concerned with. You can't go wrong with that.
Though I'm intrigued with Mahdi stuff that I've heard, My problem is with Ezekial 38-39. The war of Gog/Magog. This war happens either right before the revealing of AC or shortly after. This war is a coalition of Russia and MANY/MOST Islamic nations. They will attack Israel. No one will defend Israel, ACCEPT God. He will make it known that HE defended Israel. It will take Israel 7 months to bury the dead of the invaders. And I'm lead to believe that not just the militaries of these nations will be destroyed, but possibly these nations themselves. This would put AC at quite a disadvantage. Though it would give him the rage, for the second half of the trib.
Also Daniel describes the nations/kings of the world as 10 horns, and the antichrist as the little horn. AC rips 3 horns up by there roots. Could this be HIS retalition for the attack on Israel, to prove his "loyalty" for Israel? Or at least peace in the world.
I might not "KNOW" exactly how, or when things happen. But I do know that AC agrees to a 7 year peace agreement with Israel. THIS seems to be AC's concrete revealing moment, and I don't plan on being here for that.
