When man fell by yielding to Satan’s temptation to disobey God, God immediately promised to one day send a male Seed who would provide a way for individual men and women to be restored to fellowship with God by faith in His Seed.
Genesis 3:15 – And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The male Seed was to sacrifice himself to provide a covering (a kaphar – atonement) for the sins of all men and women who would put their faith in him and his sacrifice for all their sins. The Seed was to be provided by God.
The Seed was to be His Seed, identified as the Son of man who would come as the Son of God at His Second Advent.
Genesis 3:21 – Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
Daniel 7:13,14 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
[14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Matthew 16:15-17 – He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am
? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Philippians 2:6-11 – Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Genesis 3:15 – And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The Devil also has seeds that deny Jesus is the Son of God, and the great enmity between the followers of Islam as the seed of the Devil, and those who follow Jesus as the seed of the Son of the living God, Jesus Christ, is about to reach its zenith in the Middle East. The Seat of the Devil lies in the Biblical heart of the Garden of Eden, the Middle East in the area of Iraq and Iran.
It is from this area that the call will go out by the spirit of Antichrist to gather the nations to the final battle of Armageddon.
Islam believes there is only one God.
The spirits of the three devils that come from the seat of the beast believe that also.
James 2:19 – Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Belief that Jesus is not the Son of God represents the spirit of Antichrist, for in him dwells the fullness of Satan manifested in the flesh. He is the fullness of Satan bodily as is symbolized by the Satanic trinity of Father, Son, and Unholy Spirit, released from Satan’s Kingdom when the great Euphrates River is dried up, and the demonic army from his kingdom, to the east of the Euphrates, heads for Israel and Armageddon.
Revelation 16:10-16 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth un to the kings of the earth and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
[15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Vatican: Islam surpasses Roman Catholicism as world’s largest religion
By The Associated Press
March 30, 2008
Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world’s largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday.
“For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican’s yearbook.
He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population – a stable percentage – while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.
“It is true that while Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer,” the monsignor said.
Formenti said that the data refer to 2006. The figures on Muslims had been put together by Muslim countries and then provided to the United Nations, he said, adding that the Vatican could only vouch for its own data.
