Catholic Church Will Ride Beast Early in the War,
But her buildings will burn while Israel
is in Negev,
Lit By Muslims Across Europe AND Islamic Caliphate!
The Islamic Beast, during period Israel is in the Negev,
Will Have Empire Stretching FROM Morocco To Indonesia,
And shall make Catholics naked and desolate by Stripping
Them of possessions, their lives, and the places of Worship!

Revelation 17:3 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The “woman” is the Catholic Church whose destruction is reported by John in Revelation 17:15-18.
Revelation 17:15-18 – And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [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. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The ten horns are ten Arab kings who will soon come against Israel led by the Antichrist, who is the eleventh horn on Daniel’s fourth beast.
Daniel 7:24-28 – 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.
The ten Arab kings will accept the Antichrist as their leader “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.” The Prophet Mohammad loudly proclaimed he was God’s prophet, and he was supposedly called by the angel Gabriel. Today some 400 million followers of Allah are scattered across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and southeastern Europe, and they believe that Allah is God.
Allah is a word compounded of the article “al” and the word “ilah,” which means “the God.” I believe the Catholic faith will accept the Antichrist as the “O Theos” (the God), and the Islamic faith will accept him as Allah (the God). Most of the many faiths would love to have a flesh and blood man to lead them, one who had returned from the dead. Many different faiths across the earth have multiple gods – some sects in India have hundreds of gods – but each sect always has one god who is more powerful than all the others.
All the religions, both small and great, will believe that the beast is that one most powerful god in their worship system.
Unfortunately for the “woman,” the Arabs have always hated religious Christianity, and near the end of the tribulation period they will vent their full religious zeal on the religious woman of Rome. John attests to the woman’s final destruction by the sons of Allah in verse sixteen – “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”
THE FALSE PROPHET WE KNOW AS JESUS!
Revelation 13:11 – And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
I have taught for many years that this second beast was the false prophet who would be the Pope of Rome, but
I believe I was wrong. I have always taught the Antichrist would be a Muslim coming out of Syria or Lebanon, but one of the problems I had was linking the Pope up to a religion that did not believe Jesus was the Son of God.
I have been very comfortable with the woman on the beast in Revelation being the Catholic Church, but I was never really comfortable with the Pope
being the false prophet. It was my time among the Muslims and what I learned about the Islamic faith that caused me to believe the beast in Revelation was an Islamic beast, and the ten horns were Islamic kings of the Middle East. I knew that as early as 1967.
But after I continued to study the beliefs of Islam, I came to change my mind about the beast of Revelation 13:11. He fits the description of one of the ma in figures
in Islamic belief.
Revelation 13:11 – And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
He is a lamb that has a dragon speaking out of his physical body, he is the Islamic version of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Virgin Mary, a counterfeit Jesus who 1.4 billion Muslims will accept in the wink of an eye, and many Catholics will not be too far behind them.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jesus in Islam (Īsā) is a messenger of God who had been sent to guide the Children of Israel (banī isrā’īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl (gospel). The Qur’an, believed by Muslims to be God’s final revelation, states that Jesus was born to Mary (Maryam) as the result of virginal conception, a miraculous event which occurred by the decree of God (Allah). To aid him in his quest, Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles, all by the permission of God. According to Islamic texts, Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, but rather he was raised alive up to heaven.
Islamic traditions narrate that he will return to earth near the day of judgment to restore justice and defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjāl (lit. “the false messiah”, also known as the Antichrist). Like all prophets in Islam, Jesus is considered to have been a Muslim, as he preached for people to adopt the straight path in submission to God’s will. Islam rejects that Jesus was God incarnate or the son of God, stating that he was an ordinary man who, like other prophets, had been divinely chosen to spread God’s message. Islamic texts forbid the association of partners with God (shirk), emphasizing the notion of God’s divine oneness (tawhīd). Numerous titles are given to Jesus in the Qur’an, such as al-Masih (“the messiah; the anointed one” i.e. by means of blessings), although it does not correspond with the meaning accrued in Christian belief. Jesus is seen in Islam as a precursor to Muhammad, and is believed by Muslims to have foretold the latter’s coming.
Muslims believe that Jesus will return at a time close to the end of the world.
According to Islamic tradition, Jesus’ descent will be in the midst of wars fought by the Mahdi (lit. “the rightly guided one”), known in Islamic eschatology as the redeemer of Islam, against the Antichrist (al-Masīh ad-Dajjāl, “false messiah”) and his followers. Jesus will descend at the point of a white arcade in Damascus, dressed in yellow robes – his head anointed. He will then join the Mahdi in his war against the Dajjal. Jesus, considered in Islam as a Muslim, will abide by the Islamic teachings. Eventually, Jesus will slay the Dajjal, and then everyone from the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb, referring to Jews and Christians) will believe in him. Thus, there will be one community, that of Islam.
After the death of the Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice.
Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Ya’juj and Ma’juj (known also as Gog and Magog), ancient tribes which will disperse and cause destruction on earth. God, in response to Jesus’ prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks. Jesus’ rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die. Muslims will then perform the funeral prayer for him and then bury him in the city of Medina in a grave left vacant beside Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar (companions of Muhammad and the first and second Muslim caliphs respectively).
Jesus is described by various means in the Qur’an. The most common reference to Jesus occurs in the form of “Ibn Maryam” (son of Mary), sometimes preceded with another title. Jesus is also recognised as a prophet (nabī) and messenger (rasūl) of God. The terms wadjih (“worthy of esteem in this world and the next”), mubārak (“blessed”, or “a source of benefit for others”), `abd-Allāh (servant of God) are all used in the Qur’an in reference to Jesus.
Another title frequently mentioned is al-Masih, which translates to “the Messiah.” This does not correspond to the Christian concept of Messiah, as Islam regards all prophets, including Jesus, to be mortal and without any share in divinity. Muslim exegetes explain the use of the word masīh in the Qur’an as referring to Jesus’ status as the one anointed by means of blessings and honors; or as the one who helped cure the sick, by anointing the eyes of the blind, for example. Qur’anic verses also employ the term “kalimatullah” (meaning the “word of God”) as a descriptor of Jesus, which is interpreted as a reference to the creating word of God, uttered at the moment of Jesus’ conception; or as recognition of Jesus’ status as a messenger of God, speaking on God’s behalf.
Islamic texts regard Jesus as a righteous messenger of God, and reject him as being God or the begotten Son of God. This belief, according to Islam, is tantamount to shirk, or the association of partners with God; and thereby a rejection of God’s divine oneness (tawhid). The Christian doctrine of the Trinity is similarly rejected in Islam. Such notions of the divinity of Jesus, Muslims state, resulted from human interpolations of God’s revelation. Islam views Jesus as an ordinary human being who preached that salvation came through submission to God’s will and worshiping God alone. Thus, Jesus is considered in Islam to have been a Muslim, as with all prophets in Islam.
Muslims believe that Jesus was a precursor to Muhammad, and that he announced the latter’s coming. They base this on a verse of the Qur’an wherein Jesus speaks of a messenger to appear after him named Ahmad. Islam associates Ahmad with Muhammad, both words deriving from a root which refers to praiseworthiness. Muslims also assert that evidence of Jesus’ pronouncement is present in the New Testament, citing the mention of the Paraclete whose coming is foretold in the Gospel of John. Muslim commentators claim that the original Greek word used was periklutos, meaning famed, illustrious, or praiseworthy – rendered in Arabic as Ahmad; and that this was substituted by Christians with parakletos.
Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post
Pope expresses ‘deep respect’ for Islam
May. 8, 2009
Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST
Pope Benedict XVI expressed deep respect for Islam Friday and said he hopes the Catholic Church can play a role in Mideast peace as he began his first trip to the region, where he hopes to improve frayed ties with Muslims.
The pope was met at the airport by Jordan’s King Abdullah and praised the moderate Arab country as a leader in efforts to promote peace in the region and dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
The pope rankled many in the Muslim world with a 2006 speech in which he quoted a Medieval text that characterized some of the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings as “evil and inhuman,” particularly “his command to spread by the sword the faith.”
The pope has already said he was “deeply sorry” over the reaction to his speech and that the passage he quoted did not reflect his own opinion.
“My visit to Jordan gives me a welcome opportunity to speak of my deep respect for the Muslim community, and to pay tribute to the leadership shown by his majesty the king in promoting a better understanding of the virtues proclaimed by Islam,” Benedict said shortly after landing in Amman.
But his past comments continue to fuel criticism by some Muslims.
Jordan’s hard-line Muslim Brotherhood said Friday before the pope arrived that its members would boycott his visit because he did not issue a public apology ahead of time as they demanded.
Brotherhood spokesman Jamil Abu-Bakr said the absence of a public apology meant “obstacles and boundaries will remain and will overshadow any possible understanding between the pope and the Muslim world.”
The Brotherhood is Jordan’s largest opposition group. Although it commands a small bloc in parliament, it wields considerable sway, especially among poor Jordanians.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the Vatican has made all possible clarifications, telling Associated Press Television News that “we cannot continue until the end of the world to repeat the same clarifications.”
Despite the controversy, Benedict expressed hope his visit and the power of the Catholic church could help further peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians.
“We are not a political power but a spiritual power that can contribute,” Benedict told reporters on the plane before he landed in Amman.
The pope will also visit Israel and the Palestinian territories during his weeklong tour.
Jordan’s king praised the pope and said the world must reject “ambitious ideologies of division.”
“We welcome your commitment to dispel the misconceptions and divisions that have harmed relations between Christians and Muslims,” said Abdullah.
The pope was also met at the airport by diplomats and Muslim and Christian leaders. A Jordanian army band equipped with bagpipes and drums played the Vatican and Jordanian national anthems before the pope and the king inspected the honor guard.
Abdullah Abdul-Qader, a cleric at Amman’s oldest mosque, told worshippers during Friday prayers to welcome the pope’s visit.
“I urge you to show respect for your fellow Christians as they receive their church leader,” said Abdul-Qader at the Al-Husseini mosque.
Christians make up 3 percent of Jordan’s 5.8 million people.
Benedict’s three-day stay in Jordan is his first visit to an Arab country as pope. During his time in the country, Benedict is scheduled to meet with Muslim religious leaders at Amman’s largest mosque – his second visit to a Muslim place of worship since becoming pope in 2005. He prayed in Istanbul’s famed Blue Mosque, a gesture that helped calm the outcry over his remarks.
The pope is also expected to meet Iraqi Christians driven from their homeland by violence. About 40 young Iraqi refugees crowded into a tiny Catholic church in Amman on Friday, nervously practicing their last lesson before Benedict administers their first communion on Sunday.
“I really want to meet the pope,” said Cecile Adam, an 11-year-old whose family fled Baghdad.
“I think he can do something to help Iraq because Jesus gave him a good position and Jesus wants us to be happy.”
Arabs to Exploit Pope’s Visit in ‘Battle for Land’ in Jerusalem

Arabs in eastern Jerusalem told Reuters they intend to exploit next weeks’ papal visit to involve the Pope in a “war for each piece of land…every tile in the house” in the capital. The statements add evidence to charges that the Pope’s visit already is involved more with politics than religion.
Adnan Husseini, former director-general of the Muslim Waqf department in Jerusalem and now special advisor to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, told the news agency, “There is a battle on every piece of land in Jerusalem. In every room, every house in Jerusalem there is a battle.”
He said he will tell the German-born Pope about what he calls “harsh” Israel policies, which include demolitions of illegally-built Jewish and Arab homes alike. Husseini said he wants to get the Pope actively involved because he is sure the United States, which has criticized the demolitions, is not “capable of putting pressure on Israel.
Pro-Arab activists complain that existing legislation, which bars people from rights in the city if absent for more than seven years, is aimed at Arabs.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat recently announced a new building plan that provides new housing units for Arabs, but Husseini charged that if the municipality were serious, it would not demolish existing units.
The Vatican already has run into a political minefield with statements from its veteran diplomat, Cardinal Renato Martino, during the Operation Cast Lead counterterrorist campaign in Gaza, which he compared with a Nazi camp. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor responded, “We are astounded to hear from a spiritual dignitary words that are so far removed from truth and dignity.”
A sharper reaction came from Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, who stated that the clergyman’s comments are like others “used against Israel by terrorist organizations and Holocaust deniers.”
Intentions by Arabs to exploit the Pope’s visit were made clear last month, when Arab Catholics visited the Vatican and gave him a black and white checkered keffiyah, the Arab scarf that is associated with Yasser Arafat. The Pope obligingly wore the scarf while talking with the Arab delegation.
Other planned stop filled with political innuendo is a trip to the Arab city of Sakhnin in the Galilee, where the town mayor in January led inciting crowds against the Operation Cast Lead campaign.
Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov has unsuccessful tried to convince the Vatican to avoid meeting the mayor because of his “support for terror.”
Israel has succeeded in changing the itinerary so that the Pope will not be able be photographed at the separation barrier, one of the favorite targets for anti-Zionists who call it the Apartheid Wall. Palestinian Authority legislator Essa Qaraqie said Thursday that the papal entourage will pass near the barrier but that military officials prohibited Arabs from building a stage.
The last time a pope visited Israel was in 2000, several months before the outbreak of the Oslo War, also known as the Second Intifada. The visit by Pope John-Paul II, who was born Karol Józef Wojtyla, also was laced with politics.
Shortly before the pope arrived, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem told an Italian newspaper, “Too many lies about the Holocaust, Wojtyla free us from the Jews. Six million Jews dead? No way, they were much fewer.
Let’s stop with this fairytale exploited by Israel to capture international solidarity. It is not my fault if Hitler hated Jews; indeed they were hated a little everywhere. Instead, it is necessary to denounce the unjust occupation endured by my people. Tomorrow I will ask John Paul II… to support our cause.”
