There is no question Islamism Jihad hates the Jews!

There’s no question Islam’s goal is to change the World!

There’s no question Islam wants International Sharia Law!

When I made my first extended trip to the Middle East in 1952, more than 56 years ago, it was quite evident the foreign powers, which had controlled Middle East oil since the industrial revolution began, were in the process of believing they could still control the Islamic nations after they pulled out. They greatly underestimated the power that oil would give the Middle East countries.

It is the underlying cause for a process we are now observing that is bringing the Islamic Kingdom back to life as the eighth and final Kingdom of the Gentile age. In the first book I had published in the mid-seventies, “Tectonic Chaos,” after identifying the ten horns of Revelation 13:1 as Arabic nations, I wrote the following paragraph.

Begin 1976 Quote

“[The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are 10 Arab nations who will soon form the nucleus of the seventh kingdom, and the ten crowns are the kings that will rule them. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as scrawny little fellow on a camel in the desert with a comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing. Oil is replacing the dollar in importance – and soon ten Arab nations will have gained the economic control of much of the earth’s wealth. We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – and the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Red China. The world power block will block itself as the ten Arab nations prosper in their midst.]”

End 1976 Quote

Well, after more than 56 years it has come to pass and, in addition to the intense hatred that has raised to an all time against the Jews by the incitement of radical Islamic extremists, we have man’s natural greed incited and excited at the prospect of monetary gain associated with the control of the world’s major oil source in the Middle East. Mammon, ethnic hatred, and false religion are the three major driving forces that have been associated with wars since the fall of man. The love of money underlies it all to this day, and it remain like this until the one returns who is the only man who ever lived that thought more of the welfare of all others, past, present, and future, than he did of himself.

Philippians 2:4 – Look not every man on his own things, but every

man also on the things of others.

I Timothy 6:7-10 – For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. [9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Mark 8:36,37 – For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul

What Iran really wants

Iranians care about Persian Gulf much more than they care about Israel

Yoram Kaniuk

July 9, 2008

I am not a former military commander, but just like any other person who ever learned how to read I know that the entire story about Iran and a possible strike is foolish. Iran is not like Shaul Mofaz. It acts wisely when it comes to its future. It’s not really interested in Israel, although it likes to annoy us.

Tehran knows that an Israeli strike on Iran is impractical if Israel wishes to continue existing, and that a nuclear attack on Israel would prompt Iran’s destruction. Tehran also knows that the Israelis are the only ones who will strike if there is no choice and it knows how to make us bleed without nuclear weapons.

Iran has surrounded us with zealous, stubborn terrorism and it knows that no nuclear weapons will help us in our fight against terror. Tehran wishes to annoy and threaten us because the countries it really wants to take over love its hate for Israel.

What Iran really wants is the Persian Gulf, which the Arabs refer to as the Arab Gulf. Iran emerged out of a great empire. Today, it wants to regain its place as the successor of this empire and of the Muslim empire. It united the two and ultimately it wants to take over Gulf states and Syria, and use Lebanon as a large seaport for oil.

As opposed to us, Iran realizes that if it controls oil, America in its current state will not attack it, but rather, opt to cut a deal with it, because the entire American fabric of life is based on oil.

Because of oil there are towns and suburbs; because of oil, there is an America. After all, America isn’t New York – America is Maryland and California and Kansas. And there, life is not worth living without oil.

The Iranians are an ancient people with a long history. They do not wish to become extinct.

What they do want is the billion dollars a day earned by Saudi Arabia. The Iranians want ancient Islam and they are going for the jackpot with the common sense that is lacking among our Mofazes, our politicians, and our arrogant military officers.

Iran winning this chess game

Once upon a time we used to be smart. We would have not been able to establish a state under the conditions we did had every general at the time

been making empty threats. Talkative generals and small-time politicians are playing into Iran’s hands these days; meanwhile, the Iranians are cheering on every belligerent Israeli statement, which serves to boost the price of oil, while they continue to hit us on our home front. Their Nasrallah

has been well equipped and he knows how to fool us. He understands our weaknesses.

Yet we fail to understand Nasrallah. Hamas is also playing with us. Iran is the mother and father of both these organizations. It does not need to put its cities at risk in order to irritate us. For Iran we are merely a pawn in the chess game they invented. In this chess game they are making fools out of us and defeating the Arabs, who are nonetheless cheering on them, until they will no longer be able to do so. And then, just like in past days, Persia will rule the East, and the small Israel will contend with cruel terrorism and won’t know what to do aside from making stupid declarations.

There are certainly proper ways to hinder this process or prevent part of it from materializing. Arrogant words will not be solving the problem. Iran’s manager, its stupid president who constantly threatens us, is merely the front for its true rulers, the wise ones. Most of them do not live in Tehran, but rather, in Qom, the capital of Iranian Islam.

Saudi Arabia protests could be calamitous for oil market

If Saudi Arabian oil output is compromised, global oil prices could reach $200 a barrel, warn analysts

Terry Macalister

guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 9 March 2011 19.00 GMT

Saudi Arabia is synonymous with oil.

Its massive reserves provide 90% of the country’s revenues and 40% of its gross national product. More important still, the kingdom has historically been the world’s largest producer and exporter of oil, a market fulcrum without which global energy markets would be thrown into turmoil.

So the prospect of protest, however small, raises crucial questions for the oil market: how likely is Saudi Arabia to follow the Egyptian or Libyan model, where uprisings have jeopardised oil output? And if Saudi oil output is compromised, what will happen to global oil prices, with the recent upturn already threatening to choke global economic recovery?

Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth has enabled the kingdom’s rulers to stifle dissent, providing a large war chest to buy off opposition. And even if there were heavy civil disturbances they should not immediately affect the extraction industry.

Saudi oil workers are treated extremely well and so are likely to be late in joining any protests.

Key oil installations tend to be located in remote desert areas not easily accessible. The producing fields, refineries and export terminals are also surrounded by very tight security fences that could not easily be breached unless by determined armed forces.

The government has worked hard over the past decade to reduce their dependence on foreign skills by training locals. Foreign workers are all housed in compounds – whether in the field or in the centre of towns.

These high-walled compounds have been breached fairly easily in the past by militant car bombers. Serious civil insurrection could also be expected to empty these areas soon enough. But even if they fled – as oil workers in Libya did – the Saudi industry could continue largely uninterrupted. The western companies, which include the Wood Group of Aberdeen, are mainly helping Saudi Arabia with new exploration rather than existing production.

Saudi Arabia is a driving force within Opec, often acting as the “swing” producer that varies its output to achieve a market balance. It is the most dominant dove, and a counterweight to

the main hawk, Iran.

The Saudi kingdom has always believed that oil prices should remain at a reasonable level that will encourage the west to continue with its oil-based economies. It never wanted to drive importers out into renewables – aware that in one 1970s “energy shock”, Brazil, for one, managed to fuel its cars with sugar-based ethanol.

Hardline Opec members such as Iran have been happy to poke a stick into the US economy by encouraging the cartel to hold back production and drive up oil prices wherever possible. But Saudi Arabia has played a longer game for its own self-interest – and to keep onside with Washington, which provides arms and security. It is keen to build on its current output of around 9m barrels a day and its capacity of up to 12.5m barrels.

The peak oil theorists who worry that the world is running out of oil have argued that Saudi fields are running down faster than they let on. Similarly, even some oil experts have claimed that Saudi Arabia has grossly exaggerated the amount of reserves it has in the ground.

The officials from the state-owned Saudi Aramco oil company flatly deny this, and it has certainly increased and reduced output when it felt the world needed it – regardless of its formal commitments to stick to Opec-agreed quotas.

The 1.6m barrels a day of Libyan production can be relatively easily accommodated by Saudi Arabia turning the taps on more heavily. But if Saudi Arabia descends into chaos, there is no other country that could compensate for the lost output.

Even the thought of this country being hit by political upheaval is enough to send the global price of crude oil significantly higher. A total stoppage would be calamitous.

Analysts at Société Générale have warned that oil could reach $200 (£124) a barrel in the event of serious unrest. That figure may be conservative.

It will take time for the 10 clay and iron toes/horns of Daniel and Revelation to heal from their instability after casting off the yoke of their tyrants, and then

to replace it with the yoke of Jihad minded radical leaders.

Daniel 2:42 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Revelation 17:17 – For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 – And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As Unrest Sweeps across the Middle East, Al-Qaeda Steps Up Incitement against Saudi Regime

Following the recent wave of unrest in the Middle East, Al-Qaeda’s various branches, especially Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have stepped up their incitement against the Saudi regime.

This trend can be seen as the result of several factors. The ouster of two Arab leaders has struck a blow to Al-Qaeda’s doctrine regarding the need for violent jihad against the Arab rulers, a point which has been widely discussed in the Western and Arab media. This blow has forced proponents of violent jihad to justify their stance, which they have done by pointing out that the “father of all tyrants”, King’ Abdallah of Saudi Arabia, remains to be toppled. Two additional factors have enabled jihadists to bring their old grievances against the Saudi regime to the forefront. First, the jihadists have taken advantage of the rapid spread of popular uprisings and protests throughout the Arab world as a chance to reiterate their traditional criticisms of the Saudi royal family. Second, the fact that Saudi Arabia allowed deposed Tunisian president Zine Al-‘Abidine Ben ‘Ali to seek refuge in its territory, and the intensive efforts by the Saudis to defend the Hosni Mubarak regime, supplied opponents of the Saudi regime, and the jihadists among them, with new propaganda ammunition.

Following are a number of statements made by Al-Qaeda leaders and affiliates on the matter:

AQAP Mufti: Topple the Tyrants, Hand Over the Rule to the Jihadists

On February 26, 2011, the jihadi forum Shumukh Al-Islam released a ten-minute audio clip of the mufti of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Rubaish, a former prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. In the clip, recorded prior to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s resignation, Al-Rubaish discusses the ouster of Tunisian president Zine Al-‘Abidine Ben ‘Ali and calls on the Arabs to rise up against their regimes, declaring that the war against the despotic leaders will continue until shari’a law is implemented in all the Islamic lands. He also condemns the Saudi religious scholars for their silence over the fact that the Saudi authorities granted asylum to Ben ‘Ali.

The main portion of the clip comes at the end, where Al-Rubaish calls for an escalation of the popular struggle against the Arab leaders, emphasizing the importance of the struggle’s military aspect. He claims that protest and preaching are insufficient, and that true results can only be achieved by force:

“…My advice to all the Muslims is to rise up against the tyrants ruling over them… since Allah is mightier than any tyrant, and all that is necessary in order to do so is preparation, daring, patience, and the willingness for [self] sacrifice… But beware of someone else reaping the benefits of the jihad of the faithful for the infidels, like what happened in many revolutions that took place in Islamic lands, some of which were achieved with the help of Islamic organizations, when the latter handed over the rule to nationalists who were far removed from the path of Islam…”

Al-Rubaish called for the rule to be given to leaders from among the mujahideen who had proven their leadership ability.

It should be noted that similar statements were made by Anwar Al-‘Awlaki, another AQAP leader, in his most recent video clip. [1] Al-Rubaish said: “The reins of power must be given to people such as [Taliban Emir] Mullah Muhammad ‘Omar, [former ISI emir] Abu ‘Omar Al-Baghdadi, and others from among the Muslim leaders [willing] to sacrifice the entire world for the sake of implementing the word of Allah…

“In order for people to listen to what we say, meet our demands, and allow us [to implement our plans], we must prepare a military force for the sake of Allah, since the world respects nothing but the language of power.

Many of the religious scholars and preachers neglected the preparation of such a force, on the pretext of protecting the achievements of da’wa, which is [tantamount to] reconciling with the status quo, rather than [fulfilling] Allah’s commandments…

“The Muslims must follow the example of their brothers in Al-Shabab Al-Mujahideen in Somalia… who prepared the necessary means and launched a confrontation [with the Somali government], and now, with Allah’s help, are besieging the Somali government within a narrow area, implementing the shari’a in the area under their sovereignty, enforcing punishment in accordance with the shari’a, securing the roads, collecting charity and distributing it to the needy, and enjoying great success.

“I rejoiced with the others at the toppling of the despot [Zine Al-‘Abidine Ben ‘Ali]… but I do not believe that such events will succeed in improving the Muslims’ situation… since they are [merely] getting rid of one tyrant to replace him with another, who may improve a few of the population’s mundane issues by providing work opportunities and raising the income, but the larger problems will remain, the shari’a will be neglected, and manmade laws, rather than those of Allah, will be worshipped…

“We will not stop fighting our tyrants until we get rid of apostasy… It is true that changing our situation demands of us great [self] sacrifice, but the Prophet [himself] sacrificed much blood for the sake of spreading pure monotheism, as the same shari’a that commands [one] to protect life commands that [one] sacrifice it for the sake of defending the faith…

“To the Saudi mufti, the Senior Clerics Council, and anyone who still considers the Al-Sa’ud government legitimate, I wish to say: See [how] the Tunisian tyrant… who placed himself as a ruler above the ruler of Allah, permitting the forbidden and forbidding the permitted… fled his people so that they would not avenge him.

France rejected him [while] your ruler accepted him, the same [ruler] in whose own opinion his actions are beyond reproach. If your hands are clean, where is [your] fatwa regarding this matter

? Where are the judges who pass judgment on the mujahideen, and where are the members of the Munasaha [program]? [2] Where are those who, if they see someone giving refuge to one of the mujahideen, revile him and sentence him with the harshest punishments, referring to the hadith ‘May Allah curse he who harbors a [criminal].’ Is a criminal only one who is wanted by the dogs of the Sa’ud family?…

“Show us your righteousness, prove to the people that you say what you think and what it is your duty to say. This silence of yours [over the providing of refuge to Ben ‘Ali] is further proof that you are the lackeys of King ‘Abdallah, who lets you talk when he wishes, and silences you when he wishes… and that not one of you can protest, but answer ‘We will listen and obey’ in every situation. If [King ‘Abdallah] is pleased with you, he pays you, and if you anger him, he cuts off your allowance. And history will prove this…”[3]

AQAP Magazine Calls for Uprisings, Stresses Military Readiness, Incites against Saudi Arabia

In the editorial of the latest issue of its magazine, Sada Al-Malahim, AQAP denounced Saudi Arabia’s sheltering of deposed Tunisian ruler Zine Al-‘Abideen Ben ‘Ali, and promised to continue fighting the Saudi regime: “To our people in Tunisia… From our front in the Arabian Peninsula we apologize to you, and renounce the fools of Aal Sa’ud, who have accommodated criminals in the Muslims’ qibla [direction of prayer, i.e., Mecca], and we say to you: Their actions do not represent us, and they do not represent the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula and their tribes and noblemen, nor do they represent the faith, or the Muslims’ qibla and the land of revelation. We hereby promise to Allah and to you that our jihad will not stop until we uproot this bunch of criminal tyrants, and until the Arabian Peninsula and all the lands of Islam return to the rule of the merciful shari’a…”

‘Abdallah ‘Azzam Brigades Call for Jihad against Saudi Regime

In a communiqué dated February 23, 2011, the ‘Abdallah ‘Azzam Brigades attacked the Saudi regime for its ongoing war on Islam, and called for jihad against it. The communiqué, signed by Saudi national Salah Al-Qar’awi, the group’s commander who was formerly imprisoned by the Saudi authorities,[4] is the fourth installment in a series titled “Clarification of the Ways of Criminals.” This is the group’s first reference to the Saudi government, as all previous statements in this series having focused on attacking Iran, Syria, and the Shi’ites in Lebanon, in an attempt to rally Sunni public opinion against them. Therefore, the statement only adds to the group’s inscrutability; so far, it has taken responsibility for a few rocket launches on Israel from Lebanon, and for carrying out a suicide attack against a Japanese oil tanker in the Straits of Hormuz. The group’s interest in Saudi Arabia is not surprising, considering Al-Qar’awi’s Saudi background, but it does raise questions regarding the group’s assigned region of operation.

One interesting feature of the communiqué is a paragraph in which Al-Qar’awi congratulates his comrades in AQAP for waging jihad against the Saudis, written in response to a greeting from AQAP Deputy Commander Sa’id Al-Shihri.[5] In it, Al-Qar’awi writes: “I wish to greet our brothers, the mujahideen of AQAP, for the worthy custom they have embraced of fighting the tyrants of the Sa’ud family regime and the ‘Ali [‘Abdallah] Saleh regime [in Yemen], for their targeting of the most senior tyrants of these collaborating regimes, and for targeting American interests [in these countries]…”

It should be noted that the Saudis themselves have claimed that Al-Qar’awi is hiding in Iran, and that the ‘Abdallah ‘Azzam Brigades are a creation of Iran and its intelligence services.

Following are excerpts from the communiqué:

“O Muslims of the Arabian Peninsula, not only is the ruling regime in the Arabian Peninsula no less criminal than the rest of the other collaborating Arab regimes, it is their leader in collaboration and their leader in fighting Allah’s religion…

“If some of the preachers in the Arabian Peninsula describe the Mubarak regime as collaborationist due to the siege it is imposing on our people in Gaza… what would be their religious definition of the manifest role and participation of the Saudi regime – with the tyrant king ‘Abdallah and his tyrant interior minister at its head – in the Zionist-Crusader war on Islam? Not a single person is unaware of the fact that the collaborating Saudi regime played a major role in the war on Islam, by participating in the war on Afghanistan and the war on Iraq. This role is exemplified by the following:

1. “Military: the opening of military bases in the Arabian Peninsula, which constitute the rear bases for the crusader forces that invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, the opening of the airspace to the crusader enemy’s planes, and even dedication of some of the airports for launching planes that bomb our brothers in Iraq, such as the Tabuk Airport, which was shut down during the (Gulf) War, so it could be dedicated to serving American forces.

2. “Logistics and economy: pumping oil and ensuring the flow of fuel to the crusader military apparatuses, and signing shady agreements to support the American economy and treasury in their most difficult times.

3. “Intelligence: overt interference in the fields of jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq, forming spy networks, and recruiting and providing financial assistance to spies…

4. “The [Saudis] declared war on jihad and its community, publishing pictures of the mujahideen as if they were criminals for waging jihad against the infidels…”[6]
The communiqué goes on to provide a list of social and religious grievances against the Saudi regime, including the official media’s secular tendencies, the corruption of the education system, especially in terms of gender-mixing, the enfeebling of religious scholars, adherence to man-made laws and judicial systems, and regime corruption.

Finally, the ‘Abdallah ‘Azzam Brigades declare the heads of the Saudi regime legitimate targets:

“The Aal Sa’ud regime should know that we are at war with it as long as it sticks to its heresy, oppression, tyranny, and its war on Allah’s religion. Furthermore, [we consider] the heads of this regime and those who execute [their orders] legitimate targets for the mujahideen, [as it is written:] ‘Fight the leaders of unbelief’ [Koran 9:12]. Fighting them with the sword and the tongue are amongst the most important duties of this age… [And as is written:] ‘And fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors.’ [Koran 2:193] Let them expect our courage, and Allah will help us and abandon them, for Allah is our lord and not theirs.”[7]

Al-Qaeda Ideologue Attacks Saudi King for Supporting Hosni Mubarak

Another Al-Qaeda figure who referred to Saudi Arabia was ‘Atiyyat Allah Abu ‘

Abd Al-Rahman, also known as ‘Atiyyat Allah Al-Libi, an Al-Qaeda leader and ideologue, who dedicated one of the concluding notes of his recent statements to the Saudi regime:

“Regarding the hypocritical Saudi regime, the traitor of the two holy places, the king of the Aal [Al-]Sa’ud family, has tenaciously stood alongside Hosni Al-La Mubarak… to the extent where he clashed with the Americans, perhaps for the first time in history.

“We wish to ask the wise people in ‘Saudi Arabia’ a few simple questions: Why is [King] ‘Abdallah Aal [Al-] Sa’ud aiding Hosni [Mubarak], the secularist, the collaborator with Israel, the servant of the Americans, the darling of the Jews?… Is ‘Abdallah helping Hosni for the sake of Allah and Islam?… These questions are waiting for answers… before the storm [comes] and time runs out.”[8]

I can truthfully say, without reservations or hesitation, that many positions are held on the discourse and wide differences do indeed exist between them. Some believe it was all fulfilled by 73 A.D., some say most of it was fulfilled by 73 A.D., and some say most of it is yet to be fulfilled.

Some say it only applies to the Jews, and some say it applies to both Jew and Gentile.

In this exposition I will attempt to weave a pattern based on all three discourses, with the account of Luke serving as the basic document to explain Matthew and Mark’s accounts.

Matthew 24:1,2 – And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not

be thrown down.

His statement shocked the first church members to the depths of their souls.

They had been required from their teens to annually come to this temple for the three Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. It represented all that was holy to them, and many times they had met as a local church in its courtyards to worship God in the presence of their head, Jesus Christ. So, it is very easy to understand why, as soon as they were alone, they would be certain to ask him to elaborate on his shocking proclamation. They asked him a three-part question.

Matthew 24:3 – And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be

? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Question Number 1 – When shall these things be? When will the temple be leveled

?

Question Number 2 – And what shall be the sign of thy coming? What things can we look for to let us know that you are soon to establish your kingdom?

Question Number 3 – And what shall be the sign of the end of the world (this age)? What things can we look for to let us know this age of Gentile domination is drawing to a close

?

Christ began by telling them of two common things that would precede the leveling of the Temple Mount. They were to see many claiming to be the Messiah who could deliver them from the Romans, and there would be many rumors of wars within, and all around the periphery of, the borders of the great Roman Empire.

This is precisely what happened from his crucifixion to 135 A.D., by which time Hadrian had placed the final touches on the prior leveling of the Temple Mount and the city of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 A.D.

Matthew 24:4-6 – And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, BUT THE END IS NOT YET.

Mark 13:7 – And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; BUT THE END SHALL NOT BE YET.

Luke 21:9 – But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; BUT THE END IS NOT BY AND BY.

Jesus clearly told them not to use these two things as the signs that were to mark his answers to questions two and three.

These things would mark the period up to the last gasp of Jerusalem as a Jewish city, when it was given a new Roman name by Hadrian. Referring to question three, he stated very clearly: “but the end (of the age) is not yet, but the end (of the age) shall not be yet, but the end (of the age) is not by and by.” And even though he told them, and us, not to use these two things to mark his coming and the end of this age of the Gentiles, they are the very things we have repeatedly used right up to the present time. We have always had false messiahs and rumors of wars in all the ages since

the cross and, while Scripture indicates false messiahs are to increase at the end, they should not be used as the prime reason to teach the coming of Jesus and the end of this Gentile age is rapidly approaching. So, just what should we use? I will answer this in a BLOG SERIES beginning with this BLOG Number 1, Lord willing.

Seven Heads on the Beast in Revelation 13 & 17 – Part 7

If you want to see the case I make to prove the “he” in Daniel 9:27 is not the antichrist, then read whole numbered Prophecy Updates 55 to 58 on our web site in our prophecy update archives, which are listed on the menu as “Prophecy Updates.”

Mountains are at times used to refer to great governments or kingdoms in the Bible, such as in Isaiah when it refers to Christ’s Kingdom being established as the top Kingdom among the other nations, represented as lower mountains or little hills.

The SEVEN HEADS represent seven great mountains (governments or kingdoms) that have been composite parts in the development of the final great Revelation beast kingdom of antichrist. Each kingdom had its own individual groupings of historical kings.

These seven kingdoms of mankind have historically given their mammon contributions of knowledge, culture, and scientific advancements, as they have afflicted and affected Israel since God called her out of Egypt.

The First Head in Part 1 was the Egyptian Kingdom

The Second Head in Part 2 was the Assyrian Kingdom

The Third Head in Part 3 was the Babylonian Kingdom

The Fourth Head in Part 4 was the Medo-Persian Kingdom

The Fifth Head in Part 5 was the Grecian or Macedonian Kingdom

The Sixth Head in Part 6 was the Roman Kingdom

The Seventh Head in Part 7 was the Islamic Omayyad Kingdom

Head 8 is the resurrected Islamic Head 7 Caliphate with an Antichrist Caliph

Each Head had its own series of Kings, but Head 8 will have only have One

The series of kings were counted as one king on each Head 1 through 7

But the Islamic 8th Caliphate beast head itself and its Caliph in Revelation 13 & 17 are One and, as such, are used interchangeably as the Government or Antichrist.

Revelation 17:9-13 – And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

[10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

[11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Revelation 13:7-9 – And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

[8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Those indwelt by Christ, and those not indwelt by Christ, at this point of time in the tribulation period, are visibly divided by whether they do, or do not, worship the beast. Simply stated, the saved won’t and the lost will!

This period of time falls in the last 1260 days of the tribulation period after Satan has been cast out of heaven permanently, and while there are still believers here who have the testimony of Jesus Christ and are keeping the commandments of God. Satan makes war against them until they are caught out on the blowing of the seventh trumpet.

Revelation 12:6 – And the wom an fled into the wilderness, where she h

ath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (See Archive Birth Pang Number 39 in 2002)

Revelation 12:13 – And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

(See Archive Birth Pang Number 40 in 2002)

Revelation 12:17 – And the dragon was wroth with

the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (See Archive Birth Pang Number 43 in 2002)

Seven Heads on the Beast in Revelation 13 & 17 – Part 6

The Sixth Head in Part 6 was the Roman Kingdom

Revelation 13:6 –And he opened his mouth in blasphemy aga

inst God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

The ultimate blasphemy against God, of which the High Priest accused Jesus, and for which they earlier in His ministry tried to stone Him, is to claim to be God.

John 10:30-33 – I and my Father are one. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. [32] Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? [33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Matthew 26:63-66 – But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. [64] Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. [65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses

? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

[66] What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

Paul’s description of the antichrist’s claim to be God seems to fit John’s verse 6 statement perfectly.

II Thessalonians 2:4 – Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

John also states that antichrist blasphemes God’s “tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” I suspect this refers to God’ s tabernacle in heaven

since those in heaven are also blasphemed, but I am not certain. In Revelation 15:5 this tabernacle located in heaven, and its opening, starts in motion a chain of events.

Revelation 15:5 – And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

After the blowing of the last trumpet, the seventh trumpet, the tabernacle of God is opened in heaven, and the day of payback for the antichrist’s blasphemy against it and the heavenly beings is about to commence.

This is vividly described in the 3 verses that follow.

Revelation 15:6-8 – And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

[7] And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. [8] And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

I teach that after the blowing of the seventh trumpet, no one on earth will be allowed to come into the presence of God through Christ – Simply stated, I do not believe anyone will be saved spiritually during the pouring out of the vials of God’s wrath on the earth.

I believe that “no man will be allowed to enter into the temple” implies this principle, but I am certainly aware that I could be wrong.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

The temple of the tabernacle of God disappears when the 1000 year reign of Christ on this present earth ends. It is not found in the final heaven age because the Lord God Almighty and

the Lamb are to become the temple of the New Jerusalem.

Revelation 21:22,23 – And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

[23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

I believe that the wide, thick veil separating the abode of God in the Temple Holy of Holies from the Holy Place, which was rent from top to bottom when Christ shed His blood and gave His flesh for our sins, will be temporarily closed as an access to salvation while the seven vials of God’s wrath are poured out on the lost on the earth left behind after the blowing of the seventh trumpet.

Matthew 27:50,51 – Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Hebrews 10:19,20 – Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

I Thessalonians 5:9,3,4 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
