Hello
John and Doves,
Will
the Antichrist be the Islamic Mahdi?
Islamic
eschatology teaches there needs to be a big apocalypse to
bring the Mahdi, their messiah back - who will set up an
Islamic Kingdom with his capital in Jerusalem.
In an article dated, Saturday, November
4: "One organization after another belonging to the
"Axis of Resistance" begins to actively act against
Israel. A significant mobilization of the pro-Iranian
Shiite forces in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon has been observed
for hours."
"It seems that all forces are taking
battle positions for further escalation in case,
as H. Nasrallah said, Israel continues the operation in
Gaza."
"Hundreds of thousands of Shiites
surround Israel from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq...The
leader of the Iraqi organization Al-Hashad al-Shaabi, Abu
Fadek, announced a state of full combat readiness and
support for Hezbollah in Lebanon. They have the
ability to launch ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones
into Israel and are officially funded by the Iraqi
government with the support of Tehran.....Hezbollah has
130,000 men. The two wings of Hezbollah, in Lebanon
and Iraq together have over 300,000 men. In Lebanon,
Hezbollah forces were reinforced with Iranian fighters from
the "Imam Hussein Brigade". Also, the Fajr Forces, a
Sunni armed group in southern Lebanon have been "reactivated
in recent weeks".
"Along with other Hezbollah allies, the group
has escalated attacks on Israel."
The Imam Hussein Brigade (Iraqi Shiites) - part
of the regular Syrian army - "operates mainly in the
Damascus area. It has carried out direct
offensive operations against Israel and US troops in Syria."
This article is reporting on the surrounding of
Israel NOW by Islamic armies.
In Matthew and Luke we are warned of a coming
'abomination of desolation' - In Luke, Jesus tells us that
this is the surrounding of Jerusalem by armies. Some
believe this abomination is the Antichrist declaring himself
god in the Temple - or sacrificing a pig on the altar in the
Temple. But Luke tells us very clearly what this
abomination really is. And no one can see what's going
on inside of a building from their rooftops and fields - but
one can certainly easily see an army surrounding a city.
In Luke 21:20 we are told, "And when
you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh." This
is the parallel gospel verse of Matthew 24:15 "When you
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso
readeth, let him understand)." The Holy Place is
Jerusalem. Bible
Map: Holy Place (Jerusalem)
The prophet Zechariah told us that Zion is the
apple of God's eye. And "he who touches you, touches
the apple of His eye." Zechariah 2:8 The City of
David is Zion - Jerusalem.

Chronicles 5:2 Hebrew Text Analysis
Jesus tells the Jews to flee...the armies are
coming to destroy. Then the most horrible
tribulation will start - this must be the start of the
Tribulation Period.
When we see Jerusalem surrounded by armies -
Jesus tells us "So when you see.....Let
them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. Let
him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house. Neither let him which is in the
field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto
them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days. But pray ye that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the sabbath day. For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
Matthew 24:16-21
Is this surrounding of Jerusalem part of the
Gog War? The armies of Gog 'advance like a
thunderstorm - like a cloud covering the land.'
Ezekiel 38:9 They come against the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 38:18 God destroys these armies on the
mountains of Israel - with a huge earthquake, torrents of
rain, hailstones, fire, etc. The Jews would surely
flee this first - when they see the armies come
against them. When they see Jerusalem surrounded by
armies...they will flee. Will the Antichrist step in
when the dust clears and set up his kingdom with Jerusalem
as his capital? The Antichrist rules for forty-two
months. Jerusalem is downtrodden by the Gentiles for
forty-two months. The woman/Israel flees to the wilderness
for forty-two months. The two witnesses show up in Jerusalem
and prophesy for forty-two months.
Erdgon wants to lead this fight against
Israel. He wants to capture Jerusalem and has said as
long as its in Islamic hands, no Muslim will care which
Islamic hand - Turkey's or the Palestinians'.
As for allies standing back and watching this
attack on Israel - we've got massive protests going on in
the countries that are Israeli allies. And Biden is
being wishy washy on Israeli support. He wants a two-state
solution. He wants a ceasefire. He supports the
Palestinians. And he wants Bibi gone. And he stands
against God.
Will these protests across the U.S. shut down
Biden/US support to Israel? It's prophesied Israel is
alone...
"US officials warn Israel it has
limited time before support for war wanes."
Washington is calling for a ceasefire. "US President
Joe Biden's administration is facing increased pressure in
Washington to change course on Israel's war against the
Hamas terror group in Gaza and to publicly call for a
ceasefire....as the administration grows wary that
images of death and destruction in the Strip may isolate
the country on the global stage." "...top
Biden administration officials have been increasingly
warning Israel..that there is limited time to do so (topple
Hamas) with full US support".
I remember when Bush went into Iraq - barely a
peep about the Iraqi civilians and all the death and
destruction in Baghdad caused by American 'shock and
awe'. And no one stopped the US for revenge after
9/11. Not a peep about 'humanitarian crisis'
anywhere.
Every time Israel is winning and close to
wiping out an enemy, the US steps in and demands a
ceasefire. Thus the cycle of violence is never ending
for Israel. And the blame continues to fall on
Israel. The US will NOT let Israel finish the job to
proactively protect herself from future attacks.
"Some 10,000 people have descended on Freedom
Plaza near the White House...Demonstrators at the rally are
chanting slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "From the
river to the sea Palestine will be free."
"In a call and response, a woman can be heard
saying into a microphone "Long live the intifada," to which
the crowd responds, "Intifada, intifada, intifada."
Speakers are calling for immediate ceasefire and "accusing
Israel of carrying out a "genocide" in the Hamas-run
enclave."
"The speakers also express their major
frustration with the US President Joe Biden over his support
for Israel and warn that it will cost him their votes in the
next presidential election."
And then all the DC Congressmen who support
Islam/Hamas/Palestinians - beef up the support of the
pro-Palestinian rallies across the US.
This is the ugly face of America.
Anti-God.
I am ashamed and angered at these anti-Israel,
anti-God Americans that are supporting terrorist groups
seeking to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem and kill all of
the Jewish people. These people do not believe in the
God of The Bible. Nor do they believe anything He has
said.
Biden officials are worried Biden may have
jumped in to help Israel too quickly...as the world more and
more supports the Palestinians...they worry that Biden "will
be blamed for some of the Israeli military's actions"...and
"the US could become more and more isolated on the world
stage". So far, the US isn't restricting military
weapons for Israel. Democrats worry that Israel's
operation in Gaza is causing "an unacceptable level of
civilian harm and does not appear likely to achieve the goal
of permanently ending the threat from Hamas."
Biden
officials voice new concerns and warnings over Israel’s
war with Hamas
If Israel wanted to decapitate Hamas they'd
have to hit their leadership in Qatar and Turkey!
And it doesn't help for lies to be spread like
this one on social media - I recently heard that most
Americans get their daily news from tiktok, instagram
etc. Probably true in other countries too.
Here's an example of social media spreading lies about a
supposed pro-Palestinian protest in France - when it was
actually fans of a Brazilian soccer team marching in Sao
Paulo to a game earlier this month. (Surprised the AP
fact checked the story.)

This is manipulation of public opinion.
And it's massive. And satan is very, very good at
this. Anything anti-Israel he will use. Anything
anti-America he will use.
Erdogan just came out and said what this war is
really about. It's another Crusade. He
"accused Israel's allies of creating a "crusade war
atmosphere" pitting Christians against Muslims."
Erdogan is trying to direct blame to the U.S.
He is absolutely correct about this being a
Holy War: God against satan. Good against evil.
To free the Holy Land from the hordes of satan.
This escalation in the Middle East against
Israel is not letting up. Public opinion is turning
more and more against Israel. Will this result in allies
pulling away from Israel? They all want a two-state
solution and they are all 'irritated' at Bibi for not
signing on to this - as this would "finally bring peace to
the Middle East". No - what it actually would do is
fulfill the chant "from the river to the sea". That
chant is Jewish genocide.
I think the Antichrist could by the Islamic
Mahdi - the Antichrist will take Jerusalem. The
Muslims want Jerusalem. As Erdogan said, the Muslims
don't care which Muslim has Jerusalem as long as Jerusalem
is in Muslim hands. Islam is a religion of
satan. And Islam is biting at the bit to take
Jerusalem and kill the Jewish people.
And in Islamic eschatology - Jesus is suppose
to come back and help the Mahdi - Jesus is suppose to help
with the conversion of people to Islam. So, Muslims
expect to see Christians and Jews convert to Islam during
this time. This Jesus will be a false christ like
Jesus warned us about in the last days. Will this
false Jesus be the False Prophet - the second beast that
rises up and is responsible for getting an image of the
Beast made, and for killing those who don't worship this
image. And he deceives the people. And then he
gets the mark going and the killing of those who don't take
it.
Like Joel Richardson said in Part 1 of this two
part letter - people have 'westernized' the prophecies -
this is all about the Middle East - Jews and Muslims.
Not the U.S. and not the U.N., not Rome, etc. I had
thought the False Prophet would be the Pope...but IF the
Mahdi is the Antichrist it would make more sense for his
right hand man to be "Jesus" - a false christ - "the beast
that deceives those who dwell on earth." Rev 13:14
Joel also said that Satan
has set the Muslims up through their prophecies to accept
the Antichrist as if he was there long awaited
Messiah. And I'll add, the return of "Jesus" as his
prophet would deceive any "Christians" and Jews who know
of Jesus - but do not know the true Jesus and will be
deceived.
Just some thoughts for
now....
I believe that more and more of the prophecies
of the Bible will unfold in the coming
days/weeks/months. I believe we are very close to the
Tribulation starting...and thus the Rapture...any time now.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Jerusalem has become the cup of trembling to the whole
world.
Maranatha!
