Muslim “Messiah” Calls for Arabs to

Build Jewish Temple:

Could the predicted Islamic Mahdi (Messiah)

be the long-awaited Antichrist?

Why does Islam hate Israel and Biblical Christianity so much? We can clearly see the reason for the worldwide activity of the rise of Islam in this article.

Twelver Shia Islam is the dominant religion in Iran. This is a place where there is a strong belief in the Imam Mahdi, the twelfth and final Imam. He is believed to be the divinely guided leader who will emerge at the end of time to rid the world of evil and injustice and establish a just global society.

What is Iran’s connection to Mahdism?: Twelver refers to those who believe in the 12th Imam, who is to rise upon the world scene and bring world conquest of Islam. Some Bible students believe this 12th Imam could be the predicted Antichrist.

Twelver Shia Islam: Iran’s government and power structure are primarily “twelvers,” who believe in the Mahdi’s eventual return.
Mahdism as a guiding ideology: The belief in the Mahdi, known as Mahdism plays a significant role in Iranian political and religious discourse. It is seen as a source of hope and inspiration, particularly in times of difficulty.
Preparing for the Mahdi’s return: According to Mahdism, preparing for the Mahdi’s reappearance involves removing obstacles to his return. This can be interpreted in various ways and has sometimes been linked to political goals.
Religious occasions and celebrations: The birthday of Imam Mahdi is a major religious occasion celebrated across Iran, highlighting the importance of this belief in the country’s culture.

Sunni and Shia Muslims share the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and articles of faith and are the two main in Islam. Their main difference is a political one. These political differences have spawned several varying practices and positions that have come to carry spiritual significance. For example, Sunni Muslims emphasize the authority of the elected caliphs, whereas Shia Muslims hold that leadership should have remained within the Prophet Muhammad’s family, specifically with his cousin and son-in-law, Ali. Despite these differences, both groups continue to uphold the core tenets of Islam.

The call for the Mahdi’s return: While the exact time of the Mahdi’s reappearance is unknown, the belief in his coming is a central tenant for Twelver Shias, including those in Iran. The “call for the Mahdi to come” refers to the fervent expectation and longing for his return, which is believed to bring about an era of justice and peace.

Several weeks ago, Israel365 News published an article about Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, commonly known as Abdullah Hashem, an Egyptian-American and the founder of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL). Abdullah Hashem claims to be the “living successor of both Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ,” and his sermons bring “a divine message to the global Christian community.” He also claims to be “the successor to Simon Peter, the successor to Jesus Christ, the true and legitimate Pope.” [That statement alone reveals that Abdullah is as false as a $3.33 bill.] He claims to be the Mahdi, a Messianic figure and a redeemer of Islam who will come as an end-of-days ruler.

After the article was published, Israel365 News was contacted by Arnaud al Almahdi, a spokesperson for the organization. He released a statement outlining a proposal by Abdullah Hashem for peace between the Palestinians and Israel based on the Arab world joining with Jews in the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem:

“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Groundbreaking Solution Proposed for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Call for Unity and Peace [May 2025] — In a bold and defining development, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace), identified as the Riser of the Family of Mohammed in the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light has presented a compelling vision for lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.”

This initiative calls for a joint effort between the Arabs and Jews to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. It also calls for the exodus of the Palestinians from Gaza and the creation of a new state headed by a descendant and heir to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH and his family.)

In a direct appeal, Aba Al-Sadiq calls upon Benjamin Netanyahu to grant freedom to the two million Palestinians, envisioning their secured future in a new, Divine Just State. He also calls for recognition from both sides that he, as a representative of Mohammed, be the negotiator between the two parties. Contact: [The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light]

Opinion: He claims to be the Mahdi. I have often credited Muslims for knowing Islamic eschatology while criticizing Christians for not knowing Bible prophecy better than most Christians. I will come back to that in a moment.

So who is the Mahdi?

Iranians believe that Muslims should prepare the world for the coming of the Imam Mahdi, who will establish Islamic rule around the world and clean up the planet from those who do not practice Islam.

Apocalyptic Muslims have long believed that the appearance of Mahdi would coincide with a civil war in the lands of Sham (Syria), which will destroy the country.

The Shiite clerics of Iran believe that Mahdi is the child of Muhammad, the “hidden Imam” and the twelfth Imam. They argue that Muhammad al Mahdi was born thousands of years ago and disappeared to reappear later when certain signs emerge. Shiites believe that at the end of times, the 12th Imam will appear with Jesus Christ at his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners of the world.

Ayatollah Khamenei told Iranians back in July 2010 that he personally met with the Twelfth Imam. He also claimed to be the personal representative of the Mahdi on earth, and said all Muslims must “obey him.”

“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”(Revelation 6:2)

The conqueror’s crown (stephanos) is a dead giveaway of a false messiah.

Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq is paraphrasing (Daniel 9:27):

“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” This is the NIV text that was used.

In this prophecy, a 7-year (Hebrew shabua = week or 7, or a week of years) peace treaty is made between Israel and her neighbors (many). That he, Antichrist, will bring an end to animal sacrifice indicates the 3rd temple, the only place sacrifices can be made.

How clever. We have often speculated that Antichrist will have to find a way to allow a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount while placating Arabs.

How does the Islamic Mahdi compare

with the Biblical definition of Antichrist?

Muslims are trying to bring their messiah into the world Pastor Michael Youssef wrote a book entitled, The End Times & The Secret of the Mahdi, where Pastor Youssef suggests that Antichrist will be the Mahdi of Islam.

Pastor Michael describes in his book how worldwide events occurring right now are leading to those events in prophesied in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible.

“I came to the conclusion that we are coming into the period of time like we have never seen before in history,” Youssef said. He is from Cairo, Egypt, and said he deeply loves the Islamic people but believes Islam is leading toward the dark days of the Antichrist. Youssef says, “He will lull the world into believing in him, even worshipping him as their messiah. But he will end up abusing humanity like it’s never been tormented before.

Most people who haven’t even read the Bible have heard of the man known as “The Antichrist.” According to the Bible, the Antichrist will be possessed by Satan, who will rule on earth during the Great Tribulation. The Antichrist is only referred to once by that specific name (1st John 2:18). Some of the various various names Scripture uses to identify the Antichrist are the “the Beast” (Revelation 13:4), “the abomination that causes desolation” (Matthew 24:15), “the desolator” (Daniel 9:27), “the man of sin,” “the man of lawlessness,” “the son of destruction” (2nd Thessalonians 2) “the little horn” (Daniel 7:8), “The Assyrian” (Micah 5:5, Isaiah 10:5, Isaiah 14:25), “the oppressor’, “the king of Babylon” (Isaiah 14) and even the mysterious “Gog” (Ezekiel 38:1, Revelation 20:7).

Why do some seem to believe that the

Antichrist and the Mahdi are one and the same?

God tells us the Antichrist will emerge as a man who will lead a very powerful world empire, as Hitler led Germany, but on a much greater scale. This powerful leadership role of the Antichrist is first described clearly in the Bible by the prophet Daniel. In the book of Daniel, in the seventh chapter, Daniel describes four very unique “beasts”. After describing the first three, Daniel says this of the fourth:

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” (Daniel 7:7, 8)

Then, in verse 15-17, Daniel asks an angel in his vision to explain the interpretation of the vision of the four beasts. The angel explains that the four beasts represent four very great kingdoms or empires: “I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.” (Daniel 7:15-17)

Essentially, the angel explains that the fourth kingdom will be an empire that will cause great destruction to the whole earth. Initially, this kingdom will consist of ten kings. Then another king, an eleventh, will arise and will displace three of the previous kings. This eleventh king is the Antichrist first referred to as “the little horn”. Thus we see that based on the vision that Daniel was given, the Antichrist is a future king who will first gain control over three other kingdoms or nations, and eventually over ten thus forming his future ten-nation “Beast” empire. It will be an empire of unparalleled power and ferocity, which will “devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it”.

The king is said to oppress the saints of God for a period of time and that most Bible scholars agree is three and a half years (a time, times, and half a time). But eventually, his dominion will be taken away, and replaced by the kingdom of “The Most High” God.

The Mahdi As World Ruler: As we have seen from the Islamic traditions and Muslim scholars, the Mahdi, like the Antichrist, is also prophesied to be a political and military world leader unparalleled by any other throughout world history. The Mahdi is said to “fight against the forces of evil, lead a world revolution and set up a new world order based on justice, righteousness, and virtue.” According to Islamic tradition, the Mahdi is said to preside over the entire earth as the final Caliph of Islam. And the Muslims will, “take the world administration in their hands and Islam will be victorious over all the religions.” Without question, Islam views the Mahdi as one whose rule will extend over all of the earth. This is why many see that the Antichrist and the Mahdi are both described as being political and military leaders that the world has never before seen. While many powerful leaders have arisen throughout world history, the descriptions given concerning both the Antichrist and the Mahdi surpass any that have yet arisen. But the Mahdi and the Antichrist are both described as being more than merely political and military leaders. They are both viewed as being supreme religious leaders as well.

The Mahdi as a Spiritual World Leader: The Mahdi of Islam will also be the leader worldwide worship movement. It will be a worship movement that will seek to cause anyone who practices any religion other than Islam to renounce their faith and worship Allah, the god of Islam. The Mahdi, will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet and establish Islam on Earth. And they teach Islam will be victorious over all the religions.

Many are surprised to hear that deep in the heart of Texas, just outside of Dallas, is the new community of Epic City, a totally Muslim City. Amy Mek sees it as the beginning of the end. It is a big change for Texas. That’s for sure certain. But fortunately, the governor has stopped any further construction at the present time. Why? Because Islam is a total way of life, political, social, religious, and there can be no other way. Sharia Law cannot coexist with the US Constitution. The U.S. needs people to assimilate.

Moreover, there are 306 Mosques in Texas. A random selection of cities, including Houston and Sugar Land, features a substantial number of mosque locations, 76 in Houston and 12 in Sugar Land. Houston accounts for approximately 24.84% of all mosque locations in the United States.

The Mahdi / Antichrist will be the leader of a world revolution that will institute a “new world order” that will be based on the religion of Islam. Islam will be the only religion that will be allowed to be practiced. Both the Antichrist and the Mahdi are said to be the unqualified leaders of a global religious movement that will draw worship away from the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ. As we will see clearly in later chapters, inherent in the worship of Allah within the context of Islam is a direct denial of the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ. In fact, this is the reason that some Muslims feel so strongly as to say that the Mahdi will, “eradicate those pigs and dogs” — the Christians and the Jews who refuse to convert to Islam. This leads us to the next obvious similarity between the Antichrist and the Mahdi.

The Antichrist’s Targeted Campaign Against Jews and Christians: The Bible is very clear that Satan, through the Antichrist will specifically first Jews, and then Christians for death. In the 11th and 12th chapters of the Book of Revelation, we read another prophetic passage of Scripture that is rich with symbolic language. Initially, it is slightly difficult to understand, but after the symbols are explained, it becomes very clear:

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Revelation 12:1)

The “woman” symbolically pictured here is the family or nation of Israel, the Jewish people. We see that she is crowned with twelve stars. This represents the twelve sons of Israel who became the twelve tribes that make up the family or nation of Israel (Genesis 35:23-26).

“And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.” (Revelation 12:3)

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” (Revelation 12:2-5)

The woman — This is a clear reference to Jesus the Jewish Messiah (See Psalm 2:9). The Dragon mentioned here is identified in verse 9 as, “that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.” We see that Satan desires to kill Jesus, but instead Jesus is “snatched up to God and to his throne.” This is a reference to Jesus’ ascension to heaven after the resurrection (Acts 1:8).

After this, Satan will use Islam who is “enraged at the woman (Israel) and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring–those who obey God’s commandments and to the testimony of Jesus.” Israel’s “other offspring “are those Christians who indeed “obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” This is to only passage that makes specific reference to Satan making a direct target of both Jews and Christians together. And we know that this passage is speaking specifically of the end times because it mentions twice the three-and-a-half-year period (1260 days and “a time, times, and half a time”) that the Antichrist will have authority to war against the saints:

The Bible is clear, the Antichrist will specifically target those who resist his attempts to establish his religion all over the earth. From the book of Revelation as well as the Prophet Daniel, we see that the two groups that Satan is most enraged against are the Jews and the Christians.

The Mahdi’s Targeted Campaign Against Jews And Christians: Islamic tradition speaks much of the Mahdi’s special calling to convert Christians and Jews to Islam, yet speaks very little specifically of conversions from other faiths. It seems as though converting Christians and Jews to Islam will be the primary evangelistic thrust of the Mahdi. The following quote Ayatollah Ibrahim Amini clearly articulates this vision:

“The Mahdi will offer the religion of Islam to the Jews and Christians; if they accept it they will be spared, otherwise they will be killed.”

A Military Attack Against Israel And The Establishment Of The Temple Mount As The Seat of Authority: The Bible teaches that The Antichrist, with his multi-nation coalition, will attack Israel, and specifically Jerusalem, to conquer it:

“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the woman ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.” (Zechariah 14:2)

The Mahdi’s Seven Year Treaty corresponds with the Seven Year Treaty in Scripture between Israel and Antichrist: The Mahdi is said to be one who will initiate Islam’s fourth and final treaty between “the Romans” and the Muslims. (Romans should be interpreted as Christians or the West in general — the executioners of Nicholas Berg in their pre-execution statement addressed President Bush as, “You, O dog of the Romans”). Interestingly enough, this fourth treaty is said to be made with a descendent of Moses’ brother Aaron the Priest. Such a descendent would be a Cohanim. That is to say, he would be a priest. Only Cohanim are allowed among Jews to officiate the priestly duties of the Temple. This is important in light of the fact that many Christian prophecy teachers and theologians have speculated that the treaty that the Antichrist will initiate with Israel will include an agreement to allow the Jews to rebuild their Temple. But probably the most amazing aspect of this treaty that the Mahdi makes with this Jew of priestly lineage is its time frame. The specific time frame given for the treaty is exactly the same as the Antichrist’s peace treaty — seven years! Citing Hadith which speaks of the Mahdi’s emergence and rule, Muhammed Ali ibn Zubair relates this amazing tradition:

The Prophet said: There will be four peace agreements between you and the Romans. The fourth will be mediated through a person who will be from the progeny of Hadrat Aaron (Honorable Aaron, the brother of Moses) and will be upheld for seven years. The people asked, “O Prophet Muhammad, who will be the imam (leader) of the people at that time?” The Prophet said: He will be from my progeny and will be exactly forty years of age. His face will shine like a star…

The Rider On A White Horse: The final similarity between the Antichrist and the Mahdi is in fact that both the Antichrist and the Mahdi are identified with a biblical passage that describes a rider on a white horse. The amazing thing is that the origin of the biblical tradition of the Antichrist on a white horse and the origin of the Islamic tradition of the Mahdi on a white horse are both attributed to the same passage in the Bible.

The basis for the symbolic picture of both the Antichrist and the Mahdi on a white horse is the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation. The Apostle John is describing his vision of the release of the events that mark the beginning of the end times. The picture is of Jesus holding a scroll — on the outside of the scroll are seven wax seals. As each seal is broken a specific and end-time event is released:

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering and to conquer.” (Revelation 6:1-2)

Seeing the Antichrist on the white horse with a crown and conquering, the Muslim scholars see a clear picture of the Mahdi. Referring to the Mahdi, the early Muslim transmitter of Hadith, Ka’b al Ahbar is quoted as saying:

“I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets… For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him…went forth conquering and to conquer.”

We see that Muslim scholars actually apply Bible verses about the Antichrist to their awaited savior, the Mahdi, who will, in fact, be the Antichrist. This must be seen as quite ironic, if not entirely prophetic.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Candidates for the ANTICHRIST

Is He Alive at this Time?

There are many candidates!

Many in the past have wanted to be the President of the Entire World. There are many today who greatly desire to be that ominous leader. We did an article a while back on the prospect of Emmanuel Macron becoming that leader of the world. Could he, be it? According to Scripture, the greatest political leader in history — the man of lawlessness (the Antichrist) — will arise from Europe to seek world domination and deceive the world at the end of this Church age.

Barack Obama as The Antichrist

Donald Trump as The Antichrist Jared Kushner as the Antichrist Pope Francis as The Antichrist

Because of the convergence of so many prophecies that are given for the last days, it appears almost certain the Antichrist is on earth and waiting in the shadows for his time to appear and there is much speculation about his identity. Among the speculation, some of the more popular Antichrist candidates include Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Jared Kusner and Pope Francis and several others.

Could Emmanuel Macron be the Antichrist

Yet, out of all the Antichrist candidates who have come and gone, Emmanuel Macron, who became President of France on May 14, 2017, has generated more end-time buzz than any other world leader that I know! This is because Macron seems to fit the exact characteristics of the Antichrist in so many ways.

Landslide Victory for Emmanuel Macron

God’s Word tells us the Antichrist will rise suddenly from obscurity (Daniel 7:8; Daniel 8:9). Many news sources have reported on Macron’s meteoric rise, appearing out of nowhere! A year before the French election, Macron had no political party and no previous electoral experience. Two years before, he was a virtual nobody. France has been in chaos from all the terrorist attacks and the far-right Front National candidate, Marine Le Pen, seemed the only answer to the madness. And yet, Emmanuel Macon won a landslide victory over Marine Le Pen in the French election. At age 39, he is the youngest President France has ever had, and not since 1958 and Charles de Gaulle has a French President ever won such a powerful majority, taking 351 out of 577 seats! His rise has been nothing short of meteoric and unprecedented!

E.W. Bullinger (1837 -- 1913)

The number 666 related to the Antichrist and is possible to be computed (Revelation 13:18). According to Dr. E.W. Bullinger, “when the name of the Antichrist is known its gematria will doubtless be found to be the number 666”. There are 36 (6 x 6) total characters in Macron’s name (32 letters, 1 dash, 3 spaces). If you give each character a value of its position and calculate the sum, you get 666 (1+2+3+…+36 = 666). Macron won the French presidency by 66.06% of the vote and assumed office on May 14, 2017 (Israel’s 69th anniversary as a reborn nation, what a coincidence!)

Macron Declares he will Govern like a Roman god, Jupiter

The Antichrist will claim to be God and is worshiped (2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4). Macron has already claimed he will “Rule like the Roman god Jupiter,” in homage to the highest pagan god of all the Roman and Greek pantheons, the king of all the gods in ancient Roman religions. In open reference to this, Macron’s own nickname in France now is “Jupiter”. Other names given to him include: “Jesus Macron”, “Europe’s Savior” and “the new Louis XIV” (or the “Sun King” reborn).

Macron seems to adore the attention, even (jestingly) allowing people to draw attention to the origin of his own name “Emmanuel,” which of course means in Hebrew “God is with us.” In fact, all parts of his name call him some sort of God or Jesus. except his last name meaning: “a written or printed mark”! Considering that Macron’s parents are atheists, isn’t it a bit odd they named their child like this?

This is his full name and its meaning:

Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frederic Macron

Emmanuel – God with us

Jean – gift from God

Michel – who is like God?

Frederic – peaceful ruler (“Prince of Peace” is the title for Jesus Christ – Isaiah 9:6-7)

Macron – a written or printed mark

(Revelation 13 tells us “the mark … is the name of the beast (Antichrist)”.

Coincidence? Or an incredible play on words?

Coincidently, Macron’s name in the English gematria totals to 888 (“Jesus” in Greek gematria), also causing some to see him as a Jesus type figure, and he was born on 21 December 1977, which is the Winter Solstice or the shortest day of the year. It is interesting to note that the reason December 24 and December 25 were picked for Jesus’ birthday is because those were considered to be the Winter Solstice or the shortest day of the year at the time.

Merry Christmas Jesus Christ, it's your Birthday

Orthodox Bible scholars all recognize that our Lord Jesus was born in the latter part of September, not December. Technically the world religious system believes our Lord Jesus was born on what is observed as Christmas, December 25th. With the name of “Emmanuel”, Macron could falsely claim that he is the fulfillment of the prophecy given in Isaiah 7:14:

“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Emmanuel Macron, co-prince of Andorra

The Bible tells us Antichrist will be a prince (Daniel 7:8; Daniel 9:26). Unlike most European and western leaders, Macron is technically a prince. Macron became co-prince of Andorra, a small principality located between France and Spain, at the same time he assumed office!

Emmanuel Macron has Roman Ancestry

The Bible tells us Antichrist will be of Roman descent, rising out of the revived Roman Empire (the European Union) (Daniel 9:26). Macron has Roman ancestry through both sides of his family, and his country, France, is part of the Revived Roman Empire (EU). Macron is working on uniting Europe which would be a return of this power and is currently leader of one of the two most powerful countries in the EU.

Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron

The Antichrist will be a sexual pervert and show no regard “for the desire of women” (Daniel 11:37). Strangely, young Emmanuel Macron (at age 15) fell in love with Brigitte Trogneux, a married teacher at his school, who at the time was 39! Despite her initial rejection of him and the fact that she was already a married mother-of-three, Macron did as he pleased and began an affair with Trogneux as a teenage boy anyway.

The desire of women is to have a family and children. Macron said he doesn’t want kids of his own. There are also rumors he’s homosexual and has had affairs with a few men. Macron openly supports gay marriage.

Antichrist Emmanuel Macron possessed by the Devil

Because Lucifer himself will possess his chosen leader, the Antichrist will be an extremely charismatic leader, who is seemingly friendly and charming. Macron is young, good looking and charming, according to many articles. Haaretz News had this to say about Macron:

“When he takes the stage at rallies, you can feel Emmanuel Macron’s messianic dimensions — the audience’s near-sexual ecstasy, his followers’ blind faith, his speech writers’ evangelical messages. People yearn to get a picture with him. speak with him, touch him.”

Emmanuel Macron, grand seducteur

Macron’s friend describes how the president is a “grand seducteur,” a man who uses his prodigious gifts to get whatever he wants. Macron, he explains, is a polymath, a person who is able to acquire significant expertise in a variety of different subjects to quickly become an expert in them, and that he uses this ability to ingratiate himself with others.

Emmanuel Macron, irresistable charmer

The Financial Times, quoting a source who has known Macron well for years, detailed how, “…he seduces everyone. And then he kills.” The FT source says Macron is always charming, especially with enemies and those hostile to him. During the election, for example, Macron took particular pleasure in always trying to meet his opponents, even the most hostile, face to face. He did this, so the source says, because he was and is so confident of his own charm, and in his ability to “win people over.”

Emmanuel Macron, a clever ruthless, psychopath

I expect the Antichrist to be a clever psychopath who is ruthless towards others behind the scenes (Daniel 8:23). Macron’s leadership style is beginning to emerge, and it IS ruthless. For instance, after President Francois Hollande made Macron a government minister, Macron abandoned Hollande and ultimately took his job. Macron then purged three well-established and senior ministers in the first few days of his administration. Macron has wasted no time in also lecturing, and greatly offending eastern and central European leaders on what he perceives as their collective failure to accept adequate amounts of refugees from the Middle East into their nations.

Psychiatrist, Andriano Sagatori

Macron’s consistently scornful approach to the normal rules and boundaries of life has led leading European psychiatrist Adriano Sagatori, who has studied Macron extensively, to actually declare him as a potential psychopath.

Emmanuel Macron, Globalist Ruler of the World

The Antichrist will become the ruler of the world (Revelation 13:7), beginning his rise to prominence as a person who addresses some of the world’s major problems through diplomacy. He will appear to be the savior of the world (Revelation 6:2). Emmanuel Macron is the darling of globalism, he is its very embodiment. Macron is such a globalist that he has stated that “the French culture does not exist.” One prime example of Macron addressing world problems is his role of leadership in the “Climate Change” global farce. Interestingly, climate change, formerly known as “Global Warming”, has always been considered the vehicle by which the globalists will dominate and control the world’s economies.

Jesus Macron Europe's Savior

Macron has already been successful in France by representing all that is wrong in Europe: Socialism, no borders, immigration madness, Islam exaltation, and Godlessness. As a result, Macron has been called “Jesus Macron”, Europe’s Savior and “Sun King” reborn. Last year, the Rothschild magazine even portrayed Macron as Christ-like walking-on-water photo with the headline “Europe’s Saviour?”

Emmanuel Macron, the god king

The Antichrist will be the most arrogant person of all time (Daniel 11:36; Daniel 8:25) since he will have the audacity to claim that he is God and will demand the world to worship him (2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4). Macron’s claim that he will “Rule like the Roman god Jupiter,” is in effect a statement that he wants to rule “above every god” (Daniel 11:36).

Emmanuel Macron and France's Bastille Day

Macron has been criticized for taking an arrogant approach, such as when he didn’t conduct the traditional French presidents’ Bastille Day TV interview because his thoughts are “too complex” for such a forum. Leading European psychiatrist Adriano Sagatori states, “Like all psychopaths, he believes in his higher purpose. Macron does not love France and will not fight for the French people.” Sagatori continued, “Macron loves only himself … The paradox is that he appears normal, but we have a case of full-blown narcissism.”

This impression of Macron is not isolated; it seems to be echoed by many others. Even his wife ‘thinks he is arrogant’!

The ultimate source of the Antichrist’s power is Satan (Revelation 13:2), and Satan has [some] supernatural abilities (John 12:31; 2nd Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). Thus, I expect the Antichrist to possess some unusual or unique traits. A reporter followed Macron for a week and noticed some unique traits he displayed. These include not breaking in sweltering heat, possessing relentless energy (which he is renowned for), being able to look at someone and convince them to trust him with his “penetrating blue eyes”, being able to recite perfect Greek, and playing both sides in a bid for a newspaper.

The Antichrist will rule a Ten-nation Confederacy

The Antichrist will rule a ten-nation confederacy which will rise out of a revived Roman Empire (the European Union) (Daniel 2:31-35; 40-45; Daniel 7:7-8; 19-24; Revelation 13:1-2; Revelation 17:3; Revelation 7:12-16). Macron’s been pushing to bring together a core 10-nation “Coalition of the Willing” EU Army to prepare European armed forces to take action together in emergencies, and to bind Britian into military cooperation as it leaves the EU. A coalition of ten European militaries ready to defend i.e., the continent’s borders have been unveiled in Paris, just days after Emmanuel Macron called for a “real European army”.

Fast Facts on the United Kingdom Fast Facts on France -- Nuclear Weapons

The Antichrist will have a very strong military (Revelation 13:2; Daniel 7:6). Macron’s own country, France itself, has the first or second most powerful military in the EU given that it along with the U.K. are the only two countries in the EU that possess nuclear arsenals! In addition, the guillotine, and perhaps main weapon that the Antichrist will use to kill the martyrs during the Great Tribulation (Revelation 20:4), was invented in France and used extensively in French history.

I do find it interesting that Macron consistently speaks the most common language of the day — English. A vast number of Europeans speak (or at least understand) English as a second language. Thus, is it any surprise that Macron would abandon use of his native tongue in favor of a common language? He also speaks German.

The Antichrist to make a 7 year peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians (PA)

The Antichrist is going to make, and sign, a seven-year peace treaty with Israel (Daniel 9:27). Interestingly, even Macron has wanted to offer Israel “Safety and Security” as he attempts to do what no one to date has been able to do; to bring peace between Israel and the PA. Macron is interested in being a significant factor in the attempts to renew talks between Israel and the PA, and the French are already working on their own peace plan!

Betraying the Jewish state, the Antichrist will seek the destruction of the Jews (Daniel 11:40-41). French Jews reacted in horror at reports President Emmanuel Macron decision to honor Marshal Philippe Petain, the disgraced Nazi collaborator who authorized the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews to death camps.

Emmanuel Macron, a Rothschild Financial Genius

The Antichrist will be economically smart, controlling the world’s economy (Revelation 13:16-17). Also, some think the Antichrist will be a Rothschild or one their puppets — a must for all Antichrists with their love of global financial domination. Macron is very smart economically having worked for the Rothschilds banking corporation! In 2012, Macron left Rothschild to become deputy secretary-general at the Elysee for two years, then was quickly promoted to Minister of Economy and Finance. Ex-minister and senior civil servant Jean-Pierre Jouyet, told Macron at the time he took the job as economy minister: “You’re the boss now.” Macron is indeed a financial genius.

Emmanuel Macron, an European Union Politcal Genius

The Antichrist is also a politician (Revelation 17:11-12). Macron’s now arguably the most important political leader in Europe today, aside from Angela Merkel. After creating his own party En Marche (named with his own initials), then winning 350 out of 577 seats in the French parliament, all within one year of its creation, and now exploring creating his own party for the European Union and even his own political school — Macron’s considered a political genius!

The Antichrist will change times and the laws (Daniel 7:25). Ever since Macron took office, he’s been completely changing many labor laws in France, which have caused multiple violent protests, and wants to change Sunday work times.

The Antichrist eventually forms his one-world religion (Revelation 17;18). There is a strong case for this one-world religion being the Roman Catholic religion. Emmanuel Macron was born to non-religious, liberal parents but decided he wanted to be baptized a Catholic, at the age of 12, despite his parents’ misgivings. He then received a Jesuit education until his last year of high school.

Pope Francis and Emmanuel Macron embrace each other cheek to cheek

Macron visited the pope at the Vatican (headquarters of the Roman Catholic religion and was granted an unusually long meeting behind closed doors with a head of state) in which they discussed migration issues, conflict in the Middle East and the future unity of Europe.

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen face each other at French Presidential Debate

Macron has given another speech on a stage shaped like the Masonic unfinished pyramid, as well as a stage that was lit up in the shape of a cross. In his debate with Marine Le Pen, Macron flashed the 666 hands signal many times, even on both hands at the same time. On other occasions, Macron has held up the satanic horned hand symbol.

Could Macron be the Antichrist?

The Bible makes clear that the man of lawlessness (the Antichrist) will not be revealed until the Restrainer (Holy Spirit-indwelt Church) is removed (2nd Thessalonians 2:3; 7-8). So, no one will know for sure who the Antichrist is until the Rapture occurs. It certainly looks like a possibility as Macron certainly seems to possess many of the credentials of Antichrist.

Pictures about the Rapture of the Church

The point of this article is not to identify who the Antichrist is, but to warn those here for tribulation. Whether Macron is the Antichrist or not, it is a guarantee that Macron will rise to a prominent position in European leadership.

Amir Tsarfati says of Macron:

“I believe that in Emmanuel Macron’s case I can very clearly say that we are watching a young, West European leader who was groomed by the “one world order’ gang for this powerful position. I am not talking about grooming him to be the Antichrist, but definitely toward leadership of Europe.”

Some other possible Antichrist candidates:

Here are some more of the key figures we are watching with great suspicion. Basic biographical information is shown, and reasons given why any of them might fit the role of the Antichrist.

Jared Kushner as the Antichrist no. 2

Jared Kushner

Title & Position: former Senior

Advisor to President Trump, former

de facto Chief Negotiator for Middle

East Peace

Age: 36 years old

Born: Livingston, NJ

Matching Biblical descriptors of antichrist: Denies that Jesus Christ is the Messiah (1st John 4:3; 2nd John 1:7), possibly fulfils an alternative ancestral view of who the antichrist might be as an Orthodox Jew who will fulfill the Torah and claim to be the Jewish Messiah, possible Roman ancestry as well through various European family ties, apparently supports dividing the land of Israel.

Jared Kushner purchase of 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City, NY

Notes: Donald Trump’s son in law remains mostly a mystery, but he has risen in the ranks of world power very quickly. He caught the attention of the Bible prophecy community for two reasons. First, he was appointed by President Trump to lead the U.S. effort to make a final status agreement between Israel and Palestine. He has since made two separate trips to the Middle East, which are largely shrouded in mystery. His second trip occurred around the time of the Jubilee celebrations in Jerusalem and the 70th prophetic year anniversary of Israel. Second, in 2007, Kushner purchased the tower at 666 Fifth Avenue for $600 + $600 + $600 million dollars. Just coincidence?

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Resigns

Alexis Tsipras

Title & Position: Prime Minister

of Greece

Age: 42 years old.

Born: Greece in the area of the

ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires.

Matching Biblical descriptors of antichrist: Very close match of Daniel 11:37, many anti-Israel statements and positions, born in the area of “the people of the prince who is to come”, rejects Christ, the Greek Antiochus IV Epiphanes would be a fitting foreshadowing.

Notes: A sudden appearance, only a couple of years ago was considered a militant communist nobody but is now the wildly popular Prime Minister of Greece. He is an atheist (no regard for any god — Daniel 11:37) and also living in a non-marital relationship with a woman (“no regard for the desire of women”). He has two children, one named after the god Apollo, and the other after the pagan prophet Orpheus. Young, attractive, and charismatic, he carries a messiah-appeal in Greece. For the first time in modern history, he refused to follow the traditional Christian swearing-in ceremony. He was essentially elected with one purpose: to roll back austerity in Greece. If he succeeds, his popularity will skyrocket and could be set for a grand entrance into a large leadership position in the EU.

King Abdullah II, King of Jordan

King Abdullah II

Title & Position: King of Jordan.

Age: 55 years old

Born: Amman, Jordan

Matching Biblical descriptors of antichrist: Many anti-Israel statements and positions, amazingly both Roman ancestry through his mother and Assyrian ancestry through his father, rejects Christ & YHWH (Daniel 11:37), was literally a prince, his country is physically sandwiched between the potential kings of the north and south of Bible prophecy.

King Abdullah II, Custodian of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel

Notes: He is relatively young and charismatic. Interestingly, his command of the English world linga franca is better than his Arabic. He is seen as peaceful, progressive and uniquely popular in both the West and the Muslim world. He is the direct descendent and the closest living relative to Muhammad himself. His probability went up considerably most recently with threats of invading Iraq to drive out ISIS. Iraq is the most seat of ancient Babylon. He also happens to be the technical custodian of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which would give him power and persuasive influence to suggest rebuilding the Jewish Temple.

Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Justin Trudeau

Title & Position: Prime Minister of Canada

Age: 45 years old

Born: Ottawa, Canada

Matching Biblical descriptors of antichrist: Direct Roman ancestry (Daniel 9:26), anti-Zionist, pro-global government promotes lawlessness and immorality (2nd Thessalonians 2:3), leader of the northernmost country on earth (some scholars argue the “king of the north” is the antichrist).

Notes: His name is quite interesting: Justin Pierre James Trudeau. Peter (Pierre) and James were the top leaders of the early Church. He named one of his sons Hadrien (French version of Hadrian), which is the name of the Emperor Hadrian who ruled from 117 to 138. Emperor Hadrian was considered to be one of the forerunners of antichrist because Hadrian desecrated the site of the Biblical temple by erecting a temple to the supreme pagan god Jupiter directly over its ruins. Hadrian is also responsible for renaming the land of Israel to ‘Palestina’ in 135 A.D. (Palestina is the Latin version of Philistia, the chief enemy of ancient Israel). Spelling variations of the name “Trudeau” include Trudon and Trudel, either of which would make the number of letters in his name 6, 6, and 6: Justin (6) Pierre (6) Trudon / Trudel (6).

Zoltan Istvan, Founder of the Transhumanist Party -- Candidate for U.S. President

Zoltan Istvan

Title & Position: Founder of the

Transhumanist Party and candidate

for U.S. President.

Age: 44 years old.

Born: Los Angeles, California

Matching Biblical descriptors of antichrist: Direct Roman ancestry (Daniel 9:26), atheist (Daniel 11:37), rejects Christ (1st John 2:22), false messianic tendencies including offering his followers eternal life through “transhumanism”, anti-Zionist, pro-global government.

Notes: His first, middle and last names each have six letters. He effectually denounces all forms of morality, calling morality “chains” (see 2nd Thessalonians2:3). He idolizes science and technology in possible fulfillment of Daniel 11:38 and he voluntarily had his hand implanted with an RFID chip, which uniquely connects him with a possible implementation of the Mark of the Beast.

The little horn with a big mouth, The Antichrist which causes the Abomination of Desolation

While the antichrist might come from this list, it is also entirely possible he might not come from this list at all, so keep your eyes wide open and your mind fervently fixed on God’s Word. The antichrist will not be unequivocally revealed until after the Rapture (2nd Thessalonians 2:3, 7-8) or after the Abomination of Desolation. There is also growing speculation that the antichrist might be a fallen angel or Nephilim or some sort of spiritual entity that arrives after the War in Heaven described in Revelation 12.

The Establishment of the Final Empire:

The Ten Nation Confederacy of Daniel’s

Vision that Antichrist will use

During the Great Tribulation is being readied.

Who will it be fighting against?

This army of the Revived Roman Empire was predicted to come to power in Revelation 17:12-17, “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. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongue. 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. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled”.

The ‘Arch Nemesis’ (Iran) of the Revived Roman Empire in Europe, along with Turkey and Russia will be virtually destroyed by God in their attempted invasion of Israel. The entire chapters Ezekiel 38-39 are a detailed description of this soon coming event. It appears it will happen shortly before or after the Tribulation starts. Make no mistake, the Bible is clear that this will occur at the designated time in the ‘latter days,’ a time that always refers to the time when the people of Israel have been regathered into their promised land. All that is left of Iran, Turkey and Russia’s military might is only 1/6th. God destroys 5/6th of their forces (Ezekiel 39:2). If the invading force were 36,000 soldiers, only 6,000 are left alive. Why does God use ‘6’ (six) as his divisible? 6 is the number of ‘evil men.’ In God’s eye, these men that come against Israel are evil. Six is also the number associated with the Beast (another evil man) and the False Prophet (Pope Francis — another evil man). These are all literally flesh and blood, human beings. Today, as of September 2019, Russia — Turkey — Iran are all in Syria and are firmly aligned with one another. When the military backbones of these three countries are broken by God, they literally represent no challenge or military threat to the Beast, when Antichrist acquires the ‘power, mind and will’ of the 10 Nation European Military Coalition. The newly elected head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen stated in her acceptance speech that this is one her major goals to achieve. The 10 kings of the world will give Antichrist their sovereignty and authority to carry out his will.

Ezekiel 39:1-5, “Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God”.

Revelation 13:4, “And they worshiped the dragon (Satan / Allah / Islam) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him”?

Why won’t China, India, Pakistan, South Korea or Japan

(Kings of the East) stand up to the Beast?

There is well documented proof that over the past several months in 2019, Europe has made a concerted effort to ‘buy’ the allegiance and partnership of exactly these five countries. The EU has signed multi-billion dollar investment deals with Jinping, Modi, Khan, Jae-in and Abe. These five countries are all ‘beholden’ to the EU for their financial largess. They will not come against him for obvious economic, financial and political reasons. They are almost exclusively beholden to him for their purchase of oil and other petroleum related products. It would be suicide for them to go against the EU, the ‘King of Oil.’ Diplomatically, as of today, they are all in good standing and have good relations with the EU. There is also lots of information that reveal the concerted efforts of the EU to shore up their claws with the ‘Kings of the East.’ The Bible also provides us a clue that the ‘Kings of the East.’ are not a threat to the Beast because it is not until the last day of the Tribulation (Day of the Lord) that the Beast deceives or draws the Kings of Armageddon. Xi Jinping (China) is in league with the Beast in terms of its human rights violations, religious persecution of Christians and control of the population. Birds of feather flock together. Loyalty to Royalty and State, above Christ. Xi Jinping is almost a mirror image of the EU in the East, but doesn’t play a prophetic role in the tribulation until he is enticed or deceived into coming to Armageddon. Jinping has publicly gone on record strongly supporting the EU’s ‘great efforts at transforming Saudi Arabia.’ They are both playing from the same diabolical playbook.

Throughout Scripture, God has made it abundantly clear that Jerusalem is the ‘apple of his eye’ and has his stamp of ownership on it … above all other cities on earth. God makes it adequately clear in Zechariah 12:3 that any nation that attempts to cut or divide up Jerusalem, will themselves be cut up or divided. As such, the U.S. is cut or divided politically because of its leadership role in attempting to split God’s Holy City of earthly Jerusalem.

What does all his have to do with potentially coming against the Revived Roman Empire and the military and political allegiance from a revived European 10 nation coalition army? The U.S. has no reason to challenge this arrangement. Most, if not all members within the coalition are U.S. allies to varying degrees. Trump has no complaint against Europe except that they don’t contribute enough of their fair share to NATO. This leaves a ‘vacuum’ that will force the EU to increase the development of its own organized defensive military capabilities. The U.S. has no need to come against its European allies. One of the main reasons voiced recently by the new European Commission leader for the formation of this 10 nation coalition army is to combat Islamic terrorism that is plaguing Europe. No one in the U.S. will question the use of the European military coalition to battle Islamic terrorism. Additionally, the Rapture / harpazo will have depleted and perhaps rendered the U.S. military forces in becoming understaffed and ill-forced to participate in any international military confrontation. This of course assumes that a decent percentage of the U.S. military forces are Christians at the time the ‘age of grace’ has been completed.

Another tactic from the Saudi / House of Saud playbook has been to exploit religion to shore up its legitimacy. The title “khaadim al-haramayn al-sharifayan” — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques”, a reference to the mosques in Makkah and Madinah — has been useful for this purpose. The House of Saud (Bottomless Pit) is responsible for caretaking (being the custodian) of the two holiest Islamic mosques. A prominent Imam in the Grand Mosque in Makkah described the Crown Prince as a “reformer” during a sermon watched by millions of Muslims around the world. The Imam used a religious epithet, mujaddid, a term which is attributed to Prophet Muhammad, who is reported to have said that once every century, god (Allah) sends a mujaddid, a great reformer, to reclaim or reinvigorate the Islamic faith. Extolling Bin Salman in this manner implies that he is a divine gift to Muslims and that he is the mujaddid sent to revive Islam in our age.

Middle East / North African (MENA), Arab / Islamic countries are the ‘many’ regional countries referred to in Daniel 9:27, regarding the confirmation of the regional peace and security’ agreement.

Daniel 9:26-27, “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolation’s are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate”.

Alphabetized List of many MENA (Middle East / North African) countries (Most commonly used); Algeria. Bahrain, Egypt, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, State of Palestine, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen. Almost all of these countries have a vested interest the outcome of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict. Why is the covenant confirmed for seven years (one week)? That is the amount of time that will be agreed upon for financial investment being baked into the agreement to build up the Palestinian people. Seven is also the divine number of God that refers to the divine of his plan or purpose. The seven year’s confirmation is no coincidence and is and is a validation of other instances of scripture that use seven (7) in describing the outcome of event orchestrated by God. Plain and simple.

The last, and perhaps most profound impact that MENA has on prophecy is that collectively, these countries drive EU to seek and acquire the allegiance and strength of a large military force. What causes this? In two words, Islamic Terrorism.

The greatest danger of extremist terrorism is in distorting the reputation of our tolerant religion,” the crown prince lamented. The crown prince has that, “we will not allow… elements to tarnish the image of Islam.” He wants to make Saudi Arabia more religiously open, pluralistic, moderate, and tolerate or all religious denominations (lie, Christians will be persecuted to death / beheading for not denying Christ and in denying Islam, and not expressing ‘loyalty’ to the EU. Saudi Arabia is the only nation / country on the planet that beheads dissidents and those not loyal to the House of Saud. Beheadings have increased dramatically since came Salman came to power in June 2017.

Once Turkey and Iran are are ‘out of the way’ (Ezekiel 39:2) there is no political or military presence in the region to resist the Beast. The absence of an Iranian / Turkish military threat will accelerate the complete and total domination in MENA.

The Bible also indicates that a 10 nation military coalition will come out of a ‘revived / reviving’ Europe / Roman Empire. There is literally no other country, or group of countries that can do this. Islamic terrorism is spreading internationally around the globe, like a cancer. Therefore, the Beast needs to give authority to a military force to be able to act internationally, on his behalf.

In closing, Revelation 13:4, “And they worshiped the dragon (Satan / Allah / Islam) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make are war with him?

No one is able or willing to come against the Beast — Russia, Iran, Turkey, United States, China, India, Pakistan, South Korea or Japan. This leaves the only significant tribulation military force in the West to do the Beast’ bidding in fighting Islamic terrorism in Europe and in MENA. The 10 nation military coalition from Europe. The Beast is hell-bent on defending the ‘reputation’ of Satan’s religion on earth, to defeat those who ‘give Islam a bad name,’ and in promoting a more ‘moderate form of Islam. This is a deceptive satanic tactic to make Islam more appealing to a wider base of people around the world before they can come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
