I know many Christians believe Revelation has to do with Russia etc.. but it's been my belief for many years that much of Revelation has to do with Islam.

You have the same beliefs about Revelation and the Tribulation that I have developed since 911. Since I have found out some things about Islam I have dropped the idea that the mark of the beast is going to have anything to do with a computerized western form of totalitarianism that most prophesy "teachers" (mainly people interested in making big bucks from "tin foil hat" sensationalism surrounding Revelation and Daniel interpretations) support. If you actually READ the Book of Revelation, Chapter 13 you will see that this mark is tied to the ACTUAL ACT of worshipping the beast and the Muslems pray in a method that uses the HANDS AND FORHEAD predominantly. Also Revelation 13 tells us that the person who brings about the mark is NOT the beast himself but the FALSE PROPHET (Mohammed perhapse).

You would enjoy this book by George Otis, Jr.: The Last of the Giants, publised 1991, which makes the same contention.

I agree. Have you read Unleashing the Beast by Perry Stone? Regardless of denomination or doctrine, his book expounds upon this very idea very well. It is an eye opener.

Well considering Islamic religion is much of the old and current Soviet Union, it could very well be referring to both...
