57 Islamic State Solution will Lead to A War,
After it the 57 Islamic States will be a Caliphate,
And it Will Stretch East from Morocco to Indonesia!
The Caliphate will be the Revelation Beast of the East,
Until Christ comes to destroy the beast at his 2nd Advent!
I have taught this for many years while most watched Europe
For the Rise of Antichrist, But He Will Rise in the Vast Middle East,
And drive Israel into the Negev, where she will stay for 3 & ½ Years!
Middle East war is likely to begin at a point in time twixt 2010 and 2015!

What I am about to say in the next paragraph will probably make many of the readers of our Web Site angry, but I will not go to my grave without writing it. So if it offends you, so be it. We are approaching a time when those who interpret God’s Word at least need to examine again what they teach on end time events. I have tried to be honest with myself and God for the last 35 years on what I teach about end time events.
I have changed my mind on some things by constantly reexamining what I believe about prophecy.
I’ve taught for 35 years that the final Empire of
the Antichrist would be an Islamic Caliphate, and that the initial war which produced it would consist of 10 Islamic nations who would be led by Antichrist. I have seen nothing to change my mind up to the present time. It is past time to get off the European Antichrist theory – It is a dead horse. It is time to get off the first-of-the-week position – It is a dead horse. It is time to get off the belief we have a full seven weeks left in Daniel’s 70 weeks – We only have three and one-half. It is time to start believing the three “he’s” in Daniel 9:27 represent Jesus Christ, not Antichrist.
THIS IS A STATEMENT I HAVE INCLUDED IN SOME OF MY RECENT BLOGS
CALIPHATE NATIONS OF ANTICHRIST CALIPH!
BEFORE Antichrist’s call for the nations to come and help him finish off Israel in the Negev at Armageddon, I believe MOST of the following countries will have rapidly join his 10 toed Caliphate AFTER he drives Israel into the Negev and conquers Egypt. The MOST likely candidates for the 10 toes, when he attacks Israel are in ALL CAPS.
Afghanistan, Albania, ALGERIA, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bruner, Burkina Faso, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Gambia, Guinea, Indonesia, IRAN, IRAQ, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, LEBANON, LIBYA, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, MOROCCO, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, SUDAN, SYRIA, Tajikistan, TUNISIA, TURKEY, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Western Saharia, and Yemen.
THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM A 2005 TEACHING
The coming Empire of Antichrist will cover most of the known world at the time John wrote the Book of Revelation in about 95 A.D. It will not cover the known world of today. It will be a Caliphate.
When Muhammad died, Muslims faced the challenge of creating institutions to preserve the community. Muslims believe that the revelation was completed with the work of Muhammad, who is described as the seal of the prophets. The leaders after Muhammad were described only as caliphs, or successors to the Prophet, and not as prophets themselves. The first four caliphs were companions of the Prophet and their period of rule (632-661) is described by the majority of Muslims as the age of the Rightly Guided Caliphate. This was an era of expansion during which Muslims conquered the Sasanid (Persian) Empire and took control of the North African and Syrian territories of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire. The Muslim community was transformed from a small city-state controlling much of the Arabian Peninsula into a major world empire extending from northwest Africa to central Asia.
A caliphate is an Islamic federal government representing the political unity of the Muslim world despite theological differences, with the Caliph, as the head of state, representing the heir of Muhammad’s political authority.
From the time of Muhammad successors until 1923, it gave varying degrees of unity among the diverse nations that adopted Islam. A caliphate is the only form of government that has full approval in early Islamic theology, and “is the core political concept of Sunni Islam, according to the consensus of the Muslim majority in the early centuries.”
The caliph, or head of state, was often known as “Commander of the Faithful”, or more colloquially, the leader of all the Muslims. Each member state (Sultanate, Wilayah, or Emirate) of the Caliphate had its own governor (Sultan, Wali or Emir). The Land of Islam was referred to as any land under the rule of the caliphate. A land populated by non-Muslims and land not under rule of the caliphate was referred to as the “Land of Non-Islam,” even if its inhabitants were Muslims, because they were not citizens under Islamic law.
The first capital of the Caliphate after Muhammad died was in Medina. At times in Muslim history there have been rival claimant caliphs in different parts of the Islamic world, and divisions between the Shi’a and Sunni parts.
Caliph is the head of state in a Caliphate, and the title for the leader of the global Islamic nation. It is a transliterated version of an Arabic word which means
“successor” or “representative”. The early leaders of the Muslim nation following Muhammad’s (570–632) death were called “Khalifat ar-rasul Allah”, meaning the political successor to the prophet of God (referring to Muhammad). Some academics prefer to transliterate the term as Khalif. It is also found as a personal name in some countries (Amir or Aamir).
(Caliph also became the term used to designate the head of a Sufi order.)
After the first four caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali ibn Abi Talib), the title was claimed by the Umayyads, the Abbasids, and the Ottomans, and at times, by competing dynasties in Spain, Northern Africa, and Egypt. Most historical Muslim governors were called sultans or amirs, and gave allegiance to a caliph, but at times had very little real authority. The title has been defunct since the Republic of Turkey abolished the Ottoman caliphate in 1924.

ISLAM IS DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH A CALIPHATE EMPIRE

I find it very disturbing that a great number of Americans and citizens of many other countries, having only small percentages of Muslims in their native populations, still do not understand the impossibility of true peace in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the governments under the control of Muslims are under the control of the Laws of Allah, and any occupant or visitor in that country who is not a Muslim is classified as an infidel. Please carefully read the following paragraphs, which were extracted from the MEMRI article, which follows our heading.

The following are excerpts from an interview with Abu Bakr Ba’shir, spiritual leader of Al-Gama’a Al-Islamiyya in Ind onesia, which aired
on Al-Arabiya TV on October 26, 2007.
“Democracy Runs Counter to Islam, Because it Emphasizes the Sovereignty of the People, Whereas Islam Emphasizes the Sovereignty of Allah”
Abu Bakr Ba’shir: “The path taken by many political parties in their effort to establish an Islamic regime is not the right path, because these parties adopt democracy. Democracy is not an Islamic means. Democracy runs counter to Islam, because it emphasizes the sovereignty of
the people, whereas Islam emphasizes the sovereignty of Allah. Thus, if we are to submit to the law of Allah, Muslims have no choice but to say: ‘We hear and obey.’ In democracy, Allah’s commands may be open to discussion, and if we agree with them, we accept them, but if we do not agree with them, we reject them.
Herein lies the flaw.
Therefore, as long as the Islamic political parties endeavor to adhere to Islam by means of democracy, they will not achieve their goal.”
We Are Duty-Bound to Establish an Islamic State, and the Muslims Are Duty-Bound to Live in an Islamic Country”
“I do not accept their concept of independent judgment, unless
the bombing is carried out in the countries of the infidels who declared war against the Muslims, such as America. America has declared war on the Muslims, and
therefore, we are permitted to carry out bombings there, because they are the ones who declared war against the Muslims. Herein lies the problem.”
We are duty-bound to establish an Islamic state, and the Muslims are duty-bound to live in an Islamic country. Muslims are forbidden to live in an infidel country. Sheik Fawzan Al-Fawzan issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims to live in the countries of the infidels. That is why we are committed to establishing an Islamic state. The path that the Prophet Muhammad bid us to take is the path of preaching and Jihad. Waging Jihad is the proper conduct. That is why it is essential to establish an Islamic state by means of preaching and Jihad. We have tried to do this in Indonesia, by committing ourselves to Islamic preaching.”
END QUOTE
The principles of Democracy are an abomination to Allah, because the Islamic faith gives all sovereignty to Allah, and any principle practiced under democracy, which conflicts with the Laws of Allah is judged and dwelt with by Islamic religious leaders. The reason a massive caliphate does not now cover most of the globe is because democracy has been the stronger world force, but Islam is growing stronger day by day.
There can be no other solution to the conflict short of global war, which just happens to be exactly what the Bible predicts must eventually break out.

Leader of Indonesian Jama’a Islamiyya Abu Bakr Al-Ba’shir: I Support Bombings in America, But Not in the Muslim World

“Jihad should be waged in places where there is war. Bombings in places where there is no war is not a good thing.”
Interviewer: “So you are against bombings in Arab and Islamic countries, as well as Western countries, if they target civilians?”
We Are Duty-Bound to Establish an Islamic State, and the Muslims Are Duty-Bound to Live in an Islamic Country”
Abu Bakr Ba’shir: “In my opinion, it was wrong to carry out the bombings in Morocco, for example. I am against the bombings in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, because Indonesia is not in a state of war. In my opinion, one should be fighting the infidels in Indonesia by means of Jihad of the tongue – by preaching. Nevertheless, I’m still convinced that [the bombers] are mujahideen, not terrorists, but I believe they were wrong in their judgment.”

“I Support Osama bin Laden, as Long as he Wages Jihad For the Sake of Allah”
Interviewer: “So in fact, you support Osama Bin Laden?”
Abu Bakr Ba’shir: “I support Osama Bin Laden, as long as he wages Jihad for the sake of Allah, in order to implement the law of Allah.
At times, I may disagree with his independent judgment regarding bombings.”
Interviewer: “Bombings where?”
Abu Bakr Ba’shir: “In places where war is not being waged, where people who have nothing to do with these things may be harmed.”
Begin Excerpt from The Australian
Richard Beeston and Michael Binyon, Amman
May 12, 2009
Article from: The Australian
WASHINGTON is putting the final touches to a hugely ambitious peace plan for the Middle East, aimed at ending more than 60 years of conflict between Israel and the Arabs, according to Jordan’s King Abdullah, who is helping to bring the parties together in a “57-state solution”.
UN urges Israel on settlements
The United Nations calls on Israel to change its settlement policies and prove its commitment to a…
The Obama administration was pushing for a comprehensive peace agreement that would include settling Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians and its territorial disputes with Syria and Lebanon, King Abdullah II said.
The Israeli Government has rejected any moves that would lead to a two-state solution, the creation of a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel, but the king insisted that what was being proposed was a “57-state solution”, whereby the Arab and entire Muslim world would recognise the Jewish state.
“We are offering a third of the world to meet them with open arms,” said the king.
“The future is not the Jordan River or the Golan Heights or the Sinai; the future is Morocco in the Atlantic and Indonesia in the Pacific. That is the prize.”
In a direct appeal to the Israeli public, the king said they could either do a deal that would lead to peace or they could maintain “Fortress Israel” for another 10 years, which would be a calamity.
“If we delay our peace negotiations, then there is going to be another conflict between Arabs or Muslims and Israel in the next 12 to 18 months,” he said.
Details of the plan are likely to be thrashed out this month, chiefly at US President Barack Obama’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next Monday. The initiative could form the centrepiece for Mr Obama’s much-anticipated address to the Muslim world in Cairo on June 4.
A peace conference could then take place involving all the parties as early as July or August.
Such an ambitious project has not been attempted since 1991, when the first Bush administration assembled all the parties for a peace conference in Madrid.
“What we are talking about is not Israelis and Palestinians sitting at the table, but Israelis sitting with Palestinians, Israelis sitting with Syrians, Israelis sitting with Lebanese,” said the king, who hatched the plan with Mr Obama in Washington last month.
If Israel procrastinated on a two-state solution, or if there was no clear American vision on what should happen this year, Mr Obama’s “tremendous credibility” in the Arab world would evaporate overnight.
“All eyes will be looking to Washington,” the king said. “If there are no clear signals and no clear directives to all of us, there will be a feeling that this is just another American government that is going to let us all down.”
As an incentive to Israel to freeze the building of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, a key step in any peace process, Arab parties may offer incentives, such as the right for El Al, the Israeli airline, to fly over Arab air space and visas for Israeli tourists to Arab states.
Mr Netanyahu told the Israeli cabinet on Sunday, however, that he had no intention of leaving the Golan Heights, which Israel seized from Syria in 1967.
Syria, which only last week was accused by Washington of being a state sponsor of terrorism, presents a huge challenge. King Abdullah, who visited Damascus yesterday, insisted that the Syrians could be brought in from the cold.
Last night, after a meeting with the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Mr Netanyahu said he hoped “in the coming weeks” to resume peace talks with the Palestinians.
“We would like to extend peace first of all with our Palestinian neighbours,” he said.
“We would like Israel and the Palestinians to live with prospects of peace, security and prosperity. The three things go together, and not one at the expense of the other.”
King Abdullah said he was prepared to believe what Israelis have told him — that a right-wing government in Israel is better able to deliver peace than the Left.
He sidestepped reports he had been asked by the US to clarify the Arab proposals on making East Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian state and the Palestinian right of return, the two most contentious issues in Israel. Mr Netanyahu has said these are not negotiable.
“I was very specific in carrying a letter on behalf of the Arab League highlighting the Arab peace proposal, their desire to work with President Obama to make this successful, their commitment in the peace proposal in extending the hand of friendship to the Israelis,” the king said.
Jerusalem was not an international problem but an “international solution”, he insisted. A symbol of conflict for centuries, it was desperately needed to become a symbol of hope.
And hinting at the Arab demand for international control of the old city, he said that Islam, Christianity and Judaism should make it a “pillar for the future of this century”.
He said he sensed a lot more understanding in these times of cultural and religious suspicions that “Jerusalem could be the binder that we need”.
