GINO - REGARDING AN ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST

Gino, after reading all of your ‘statement-like’ questions; I wondered whether you had actually read my book – The Beast and Babylon – The Revival of Radical Islam, which was published in America in 2017, by WestBow Press, under my pseudonym; because it covers all your statements, as well as information about what you asked. http://www.beastandbabylon.com

The book is available ‘print ready’ in UK, Australia and US. The book itself has been priced too high, but its eBook version is available for about US $7, which is not excessive. You will find all the answers to your questions in that book, plus a lot of research and history (which most people don’t bother with).

I am under time constraints at present – not to reply to all your questions in writing – (because I have a sermon to prepare), and because additional insights are being received daily, into Iran’s (not-so-clandestine) activities via the ‘ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet’ (portrayed in Revelation 17:3–17), who do destructive work for the eighth head on the God-opposing beast; i.e., the SHIA Republic of Iran. These ‘kingdom-less kings’ eventually destroy the Great City (nom-de-plume for Mecca) i.e., SUNNI (Salafi) Babylon; because it is the will of God to fulfil the prophecies about ‘Mystery’ Babylon in the wilderness! (Rev. 17:17)

(See my other posts Dec. 24, 2023—(The Mystery of the Eighth iteration of the Beast, and Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that Great City)—which I hope will ‘unpack’ these difficult to understand prophecies… That we urgently need to take notice of!

Gino, I have always wondered why the 10 ‘crowned’ horns (i.e., the 10 legitimate Muslim countries, i.e., Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Libya) that feature on the 7^th (SUNNI Islamist) head-iteration of the beast (which reveals the beast’s shape in Rev. 13), would possibly want to destroy Mecca, the No. 1 Holy Place in the Islamic World?

The plain fact is: the ’10 kings without kingdoms’ portrayed in Rev. 17 are a totally different bunch to the SUNNI ‘crowned horns’ group (above)—even though the beast itself is still represented by 7 heads and 10 horns—THIS IS BECAUSE they arise from a different branch of Islam, i.e., they are mostly SHIA proxy ‘kingdom-less kings’ (from within the 10 legitimate Muslim countries [above] and elsewhere). This group are working for the SHIA (Official State Religion) Republic of IRAN—especially the Twelver ideology—that is at enmity with Saudi Arabia (the SUNNI keepers of the Kaaba in Mecca).

N.B. The harlot woman featured in Revelation 17 is apparently NOT in a ‘seemingly, symbiotic and harmonious’ relationship with the 8th iteration of the beast that she is sitting on! Instead she represents the SUNNI [Salafi] branch of Islam in Saudi Arabia, which has dominated and controlled the whole (2.2 billion) Muslim world out of Mecca! This woman/City is no friend to the SHIA branch of Islam, which has its own Holy Cities in Iraq, Najaf and Karbala; and Qom and Mashhad in Iran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_Islam_in_Iraq#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20holiest,sites%20in%20Shia%20Islam.&text=One%20of%20th

NOTE: In the secular world these ‘ten kingdom-less kings’ are called Islamist terrorist groups who are described by western countries as ‘non-state’ (surprise, surprise!) Foreign Terrorist Organisations (FTOs)—that have no legitimacy and are domiciled as terrorists in most western nations! These FTOs are working for Iran via its newly announced ‘Axis of Resistance’ that incorporates all of the proxy FTOs that are willing to work under Iran’s umbrella: i.e., in opposition to Israel, US, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other western-friendly Middle Eastern countries. Iran’s (open arms) FTO proxy groups can either be SUNNI (like Hamas and ISIS) or SHIA (like Hezbollah, Houthis, Syria and Iraq), just as long as they all hate Israel and America! These FTOs (kings without kingdoms) are presently rising up as an international proxy SHIA militant force, working for IRAN who supplies them with drones, rockets and ballistic missiles; meanwhile disrupting world trade in the Red Sea! Believe me, IRAN has a plan!

‘The Houthis are backed by Iran, which began increasing its aid to the group in 2014 as the civil war escalated and as its rivalry with Saudi Arabia intensified. Iran has provided the group with weapons and technology for, among other things, sea mines, ballistic and cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones), according to a 2021 report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Championing the Palestinian cause could also be an attempt to gain legitimacy at home and in the region as they seek to control northern Yemen. It could also give them an upper hand against their Arab adversaries, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who they accuse of being lackeys of the US and Israel.’

Thus, Revelation 13 has portrayed the seventh iteration-head on the God-opposing beast (that was inspired, authorised and empowered by the Dragon, Satan) as it rose up from the three former territories of the Lion (Babylonian), Bear (Media-Persian) and Leopard (Macedon-Grecian) Empires of old (cf. Dan. 7:4–6, and 12; and Rev. 13:1–3) as a SUNNI Islamist Caliphate (times two), i.e., the SUNNI Ottoman Empire that received a mortal wound in WWI, and 95 years later revived as a surrogate SUNNI Islamic State (2014–2017), after the Islamist wound was healed. The second iteration of the 7^th head on the beast was sent to ‘perdition’ punishment, which meant that representation was ended!

However, since Revelation 17 portrays the eighth iteration-head on the God-opposing beast as coming from the same source, it can only come from another branch of the identically shaped Islamist beast as the previous one; so this time it must be a SHIA iteration that appears as the eighth head on Satan’s earthly agent, the Beast.
