Introduction

Many Christians today are looking for the rise of a one-world government and a global false religion of the Antichrist, as though there were some super secret groups who are plotting to takeover the world. Well, I have news for you, there is a group that openly declares their goal of world domination, and literally millions of Christians have already suffered and died under its armies of conquest. It is Islam which began in the 7th century in Arabia. Muhammad died in 632 A.D., and within 50 years Islam had conquered modern Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, and Iran.

The Arabs, also called Saracens and Ishmaelites, continued invading country after country until they had conquered present-day Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Armenia, Cyprus, Turkey, Bosnia, parts of India, and more; they even established a foothold in Italy for a short time as they attempted to conquer Europe. Muslims ruled the second largest empire in history, after the Mongols, that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of China. For almost a thousand years the sword of Islam never stopped dripping new blood, and enslaving millions of survivors.

Murder and slavery became an intricate part of Islam when Muhammad slaughtered the male members of an opposing tribe and sold the women and children into slavery. This continued throughout the Muslim invasions. The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering and destruction like no other ideology in world history. Politicalislam.com estimates that 270 million people have been killed in 1400 years of jihad. I think that figure is conservative. Islam teaches hatred for non-Muslims, especially Jews, and approves of lying and deceit to further the cause of Islam.

Imams throughout the Islamic world preach that America, Britain, and Israel must be destroyed, and fill their followers with lies about us, saying that all the world’s wars and problems are caused by America, Britain, Israel, and democracy. They pray over loud speakers for Allah to destroy us, calling the people to rise up against us. In this book I present a mountain of evidence to prove beyond any doubt that Biblical prophecies point directly to Islam and its armies of conquest as the beast of Revelation that will bring World War III. In short, the seven heads of the beast represent seven empires that have ruled around the Mediterranean Sea, which is why the beast is seen coming up out of the sea in Revelation 13:1.

One of those seven heads, the one that had the fatal wound, will rise again, but it will not be the Roman Empire, but one of the two Islamic empires. The Ottoman Empire ruled for more than six hundred years; it was wounded in the 1800s but given the fatal wound during World War I. The nation of Turkey was formed from what was left of the Ottoman Empire. The national flag of Turkey is the same as the Ottoman Empire’s, and is red in color. It will rise again as the scarlet beast from the Abyss described in Revelation 17.

Much evidence is presented showing that 666 points to Islam. For example, Muslims worship on the 6th day of the week, believe in 6 Articles of Faith, and have 6 volumes of the sayings of Muhammad called the Hadith. I also explain the visions of Daniel, and show how some of them point to Islam.

In 2006 a Dutch cartoonist drew a cartoon of Muhammad wearing a turban-bomb to make a political statement against suicide bombers. The reaction was global. Muslims were screaming in the streets. They yelled threats of death and held signs that said: “Exterminate those who slander Islam,” “Islam will dominate the world,” “Behead those who insult Islam,” “Butcher those who mock Islam,” “Freedom go to HELL,” “Europe you will pay. Your 9/11 is on its way,” “Europe is the cancer, Islam is the answer,” and “Be prepared for the real Holocaust!” People were killed in the demonstrations and riots, and several Christians were murdered by Muslims as retaliation for the cartoon. The demonstrators were not members of al-Qaeda, but ordinary followers of the religion of peace! The cartoonist now lives under armed guard and moves from place to place because of the threats to his life.

Do not be fooled! The plan to conquer the world and slaughter the Christians and Jews is not a secret! It is broadcast daily on TV, radio, the internet, and in print. The beast of Revelation is ready and waiting to rise to power at the appropriate time. The beast tried to conquer the world before, it will try again, but it will only bring global war.

For several years I thought I was the only one who saw that the beast of Revelation was based in Islam, and that another Islamic empire will rise, but I have learned of a few other people who also see it. Here is a quote from The Rise of the Islamic Empire and the Threat to the West, by Anthony Dennis:

In short, the coming Islamic Empire will be a world power in every sense of the word, whose people will share a vibrant religion and a common Islamic culture. Like its Muslim predecessors, the Islamic Empire of the early 21st Century will also have an appetite for territorial expansion and military conquest. A modern, worldwide jihad against non-Muslim populations and societies complete with nuclear weapons promises to bring the highest casualty rates in the history of mankind. World War III, if it does come, will probably occur between the Islamic Bloc and the Western nations. It will be the deadliest war ever fought by humanity. (Wyndham Hall Press, 2001)

This book reveals the history and details of the beast and how and when it will rise to power. Although a few Christians are beginning to wake up to the threat of Islam, most Christians in America are still asleep. They are unconcerned because they think they are going in a pre-tribulation Rapture! It is time to open your eyes to the threat; open your eyes to the truth!

I also cover other important end time subjects, such as the Great Tribulation and the Rapture. Any one of several Bible passages totally destroys the “any-moment Rapture” theory, also known as the pre-tribulation Rapture. This evidence is irrefutable! Going through the Great Tribulation is not something you want to hear, but it is the truth and you need to open your eyes to it before it is too late.

The armies of the beast are not part of the Wrath of God, but the wrath of Satan. Many Christians have already suffered and died from the Islamic sword, and many more will yet suffer and die. This is why Revelation tells us to bear persecution and suffering from the beast with patient endurance (Rev. 13:10; 14:12).

God does not guarantee us protection from persecution, or even natural disasters, it floods on the just and the unjust. Only the Bride of Christ, which will be a chosen few of the total number of Christians, will be protected from the Wrath of God.

I also cover Babylon the Great which represents global Capitalism. It is said to fall twice, which represents two great depressions. One has already occurred, the other will happen soon. Its final destruction will occur during the time of God’s wrath at the end of the Great Tribulation. The seals and trumpets covered and also have new interpretations, as well as Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians, and all the other major prophecy passages, which also have new interpretations.

Perhaps most controversial, I present significant evidence that the asteroid in Revelation chapter 8 has been identified and named. NASA is tracking this asteroid and assessing its chances of impact but will not know for sure if it will impact until 2029. NASA says that if it goes through a “keyhole” in space in 2029 then it will impact on April 13, 2036. But we already know that it will impact because Revelation tells us that it will. This information does not tell us when the Great Tribulation will start, or when it will end with the return of Christ, but it tells us when one event will take place within the Great Tribulation. There is no such thing as a surprise Rapture, Christians will be expecting it and will be ready for it.

And contrary to popular belief, the Jews must convert to Christianity before the Great Tribulation can even begin. This is what Daniel’s 70 weeks tells us. When the Jews rejected Christ, God’s time clock of 70 weeks stopped, which means that it cannot start again until they accept the Messiah, which they are doing in record numbers in Israel today.
