BEWARE THE EIGHTH BEAST WHO IS OF THE SEVENTH BEAST!
THE EIGHTH IS BOTH A CREATURE AND THE ANTICHRIST!
THE QUOTE FROM TODAY’S EXCERPT IS AS FOLLOWS:
“US has been targeted as scapegoat by autocratic Muslim regimes,
blaming the US – along with the West and the Jewish State –
for the Humiliation, Frustration and Rage over the failure
to reclaim the glory of ancient Islam – Since the 7th

The seven heads on the Revelation beast are previous beasts or governments, each one being of a different nationality, ruled by kings of their own nationality during the times of their existence in history. Each head is a hist orical beast
or empire. The eighth empire is the final kingdom of the Age of the Gentiles.
The beast itself is the Caliphate, and the one riding it is the beast, who is the Antichrist himself. So at times the creature itself is called the beast, while at other times it is the Antichrist.
Revelation 13:3 – And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 17:11-13 – 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.
AT 2ND ADVENT THE BEAST “GOETH INTO PERDITION” (DESTRUCTION)
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
The first seven kingdoms affecting or afflicting Israel were the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Islamic Kingdoms. The eighth will be the Islamic Caliphate of the Antichrist, which is the resurrected seventh one, which was Islamic, making it of the seventh. The seventh kingdom was Islamic, and died from the wound by the sword of the Mongolian Empire. The seventh and the eighth kingdoms are classified as one head because they were both Islamic. I also believe the Antichr ist will be viewed as coming forth to life from within the earth as a living Mahdi who has been in what
is known as the occultation.
This was the Seventh Head on the Beast
The Vast Umayyad Caliphate (660 to 750 AD)
Excerpt from the Encyclopedia Britannica
Umayyad rule was divided between two branches of the family: the Sufyānid (reigned 661–684), descendants of Abū Sufyān, and the Marwanid (reigned 684–750), Marwān I and his successors. The Sufyānids, notably Mu’āwiyah I (reigned 661–680), centralized caliphal authority in Damascus. The Syrian army became the basis of Umayyad strength, enabling the creation of a united empire through greater control of the conquered provinces and of Arab tribal rivalries. Muslim rule expanded to Khorāsān, garrison cities were founded at Merv and Seistan as bases for expeditions into Central Asia and northwestern India, and the invasion of northwestern Africa was begun.
A new fleet conducted a series of campaigns against Constantinople (669–678), which, while ultimately unsuccessful, offset the secular image of the state, because they were directed against the Christians.
Though the Sufyānids generally retained the Byzantine and Persian administrative bureaucracies they inherited in the provinces, politically they were organized along Arab tribal lines, in which the caliph was chosen by his peers to become, theoretically, “first among equals” and act on the advice of a shūrā (tribal council). Mu’āwiyah, however, in securing during his lifetime an oath of allegiance to his son Yazid I, disregarded the traditional election (bay’ah) and introduced the alien concept of hereditary succession.
Civil war and the deaths of Yazīd I in 683 and of Muʿāwiyah II in 684 brought Sufyānid rule to an end.
Marwān I was proclaimed caliph in Syria in 684 amid tribal wars.
Under ‘Ahd al-Malik (reigned 685–705), the Umayyad caliphate reached its peak. Muslim armies overran most of Spain in the west and invaded Mukrān and Sind in India, while in Central Asia, the Khorāsānian garrisons conquered Bukhara, Samarkand, Khwārezm, Fergana, and Tashkent. In an extensive program of Arabization, Arabic became the official state language; the financial administration of the empire was reorganized, with Arabs replacing Persian and Greek officials; and a new Arabic coinage replaced the former imitations of Byzantine and Sāsānian coins. Communications also improved with the introduction of a regular post service from Damascus to the provincial capitals, and architecture flourished.
Decline began with the disastrous defeat of the Syrian army by the Byzantine Leo III, the Isaurian (717). Then the fiscal reforms of the pious ‘Umar II (reigned 717–720), intended to mollify the increasingly discontented mawālī (non-Arab Muslims) by placing all Muslims on the same footing, without respect of nationality, led to financial crisis, while the recrudescence of feuds between southern (Kalb) and northern (Qays) Arab tribes seriously reduced military power.
Hishām (reigned 724–743) was able to stem the tide temporarily. As the empire was reaching the limits of expansion—the Muslim advance into France was decisively halted at Poitiers (732), and Arab forces in Anatolia were destroyed (740)—frontier defenses, manned by Syrian troops, were organized to meet the challenge of Turks in Central Asia and Berbers in North Africa.
The last Umayyad, Marwan II (reigned 744–750), was defeated at the Battle of the Great Zab River in 750 AD. Members of the Umayyad house were hunted down and killed, but one of the survivors, ‘Abd ar-Rahman, escaped and established himself as a Muslim ruler in Spain (756), founding the dynasty of the Umayyads of Córdoba.

Radical Islam targeting America
Op-ed: Terrorists convinced that they can get away with murder, and even be rewarded
Yoram Ettinger
Published: 11.12.10, 14:24
The United States is justly perceived as the role-model for democracy: freedom of expression, religion, movement, media, Internet and election. Therefore, the US is perceived as a lethal threat by Muslim regimes in the Middle East, all of which are autocratic, representing an ethnic minority (or a military clique), suppressing the majority and fearing democracy.
The US is properly perceived – by rogue Muslim regimes – as the most effective hurdle on their way to attain historically-strategic goals: Saddam Hussein’s drive to control the Arab World, Assad’s aim to reassert Greater Syria (encompassing Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, parts of Turkey and Israel), Iran’s aspiration to dominate the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, etc.
The US has been targeted as a scapegoat by autocratic Muslim regimes, blaming the US – along with the West and the Jewish State – for the humiliation, frustration and rage over the failure to reclaim the glory of ancient Islam.
Since the 7th century, the vision of Islam has been the gradual domination of the globe. According to Prof.
Bernard Lewis, the leading expert on Islam, Muslims believe that their victory in Afghanistan, over the USSR, caused the fall of the Soviet Union.
Furthermore, they are convinced that defeating the US would be less difficult, in view of American retreats from Vietnam (1973), the US Embassy in Teheran (1979/1980), Beirut (1983) and Somalia (1993) and the expected evacuation/retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan.
They assume that anti-US terrorism (e.g. 1995/6, 1998 and 2000 anti-US Islamic terrorism in Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Tanzania and Yemen, culminating in 9/11) entails sustained punishment, while yielding US concessions and retreats overseas and eventually on the US mainland.
Anti-US Islamic terrorism has been emboldened by counter-terrorism officials – such as John Brennan and Eric Holder, President Obama’s Advisor on Countering Terrorism and Attorney General respectively – who claim that there is no military solution to terrorism, that there is no global terrorism, that there is no Jihadist terrorism, since “Jihad is a process which purifies the soul” and that terrorism is largely a law-enforcement challenge rather than a military issue.
Such deficient moral clarity breeds a deficient operational clarity, emboldening further terrorism.
Rogue/autocratic Muslim regimes have realized that terror is the most effective anti-US weapon, increasingly on the American mainland.
They assume that Western leaders have reconciled themselves to engagement and coexistence with terrorism, rather than endeavor to devastate terror regimes through a systematic series of disproportionate traumatic blows.
Terrorism provides the element of deniability, while eroding the confidence of Americans in the capability of their government to maintain homeland security.
Terrorists are convinced that they can get away with murder, and even be rewarded. They have concluded that the pen and the tongue are extremely effective in complementing the sword in the battle against Western civilization, led by the US.
The current Islamic assault on the US mainland, through the proliferation of many dormant terror cells and a campaign of conversion to Islam – largely funded by Saudi Arabia – is presented by Yehudit Barsky, Director of Middle East and International Terrorism Division of the American Jewish Congress:
• Omar Ahmed, co-founder of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), which has been connected to Hamas and other Islamic terror organizations: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant…The Koran should be the highest authority in America and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”
• US-born Imam Zaid Shakir, a frequent participant at CAIR’s seminars, is a co-founder of the Muslim Zaytuna College, Berkeley, California, which aims at producing Islamic scholars, who will entrench Islam in the US: “Every Muslim who is honest would like to see America become a Muslim country. If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t be a Muslim.” Zaytuna College highlights the supposed relevance of the Sharia laws to the US legal system.
• US-born Al-Qaeda operative, Anwar al-Awlaki, inspired US-born Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered 13 American soldiers on November 9, 2009 at Ft. Hood, Texas. He trained Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, who attempted to detonate explosives on December 25, 2009 in Northwest Airlines flight on route from Amsterdam to Detroit.
• US citizen Faisal Shahzad was trained by Taliban and inspired by Anwar Al-Awlaki, attempted the May 1, 2010 Times Square car bombing.
• The Al Shabaab, “Holy Warrior Youth Movement,” is recruiting in the US via Internet. Eight Al Shabaab recruits – including converts to Islam – were arrested in Minnesota.
Is it realistic to assume that rogue Muslim regimes, which have employed terrorism since the 7th century in order to settle intra-Muslim conflicts, would not employ terrorism in order to settle their conflicts with the US – the “Big Satan”?! Islamic terrorism constitutes a clear and present danger to the US and to the Free World, irrespective of the Arab-Israeli conflict, independent of the Palestinian issue and regardless of Israel’s policies or even the very existence of Jewish State – the “Little Satan.”
Professor Fuad Ajami, a leading Middle East scientist, issued a warning to US policy-makers in the NY Times back in 1986: “No American diplomatic scheme would spare America the fury of those bent upon eradicating its presence in the region. It is a false reading of a large civilization to say that the terror springs from the impasse between Israelis and Palestinians… It springs from deeper social, economic and political pressures within Mideast society, from the traumas of dislocated newly urbanized youth…Some of it is hatched by merciless men for whom terror is a profession that pays… It does not advance peace between Israelis and Palestinians to pretend that it would solve a problem much larger than their conflict…”
