CHRONOLOGICAL REVELATION BIBLE PROPHECY WARNINGS ABOUT ISLAM In Revelation chapters 1-3, Jesus gave comfort to Christians about the tribulation occurring at the Seven Churches of Asia. Beginning in chapter four, Jesus gives warnings about the future. Revelation 4:1 (NIV) After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” For those who have not studied the Koran, it seems even today that most Revelation prophecy contained in Revelation chapters 4-15 is still in the future. But when you understand the Koran, Islam, and the actions of Mohammad, the many warnings from Jesus have already occurred. More Bible prophecy has been fulfilled than most people understand.

1. JESUS GAVE WARNINGS ABOUT A COMING FALSE PROPHET

Revelation 13:11-14 (NIV) Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth.

The Koran says Mohammad is the last prophet. No Muslim will ever look to another prophet. Koran 33:40 "Mohammad is the messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets; and Allah is ever aware of all things." People are often told the False Prophet of Revelation is a future “antichrist.” They have been taught the False Prophet will lead an end-times war and rebellion occurring during the Day of the Lord--when the final trumpet sounds and Jesus Christ returns. However, there is nothing in Revelation that says the False Prophet leads any such battle. In fact, Revelation does not say the False Prophet is even alive at the end-times. An antichrist is anyone who opposes Jesus as the Son of God (1 John 4: 1-6), and the ultimate antichrist is Satan. This individual in Revelation is referred to as "the second beast of the earth" (Revelation 13:11-18), as well as the "False Prophet" with demonic messages and spirits from his mouth (Revelation 16:13). He is associated with the lamb in some way (Revelation 13:11). In both Revelation 19:20 and 20:10, John is told the False Prophet is thrown in the lake of fire at the time of Christ’s return. He must deceive a lot of people to receive such special wrath from Jesus Christ! Revelation says the False Prophet takes five actions:

1. The False Prophet will attempt to look like, claim to be connected to, or associated in some way to the lamb (Revelation 13:11)

2. The False Prophet deceives the world. (Revelation 13:14) 3. The False Prophet sets up an image of false worship to the false god. (Revelation 13:14-15) 4. The False Prophet creates a mark, or statement of faith, to the false god. (Revelation 13:16-

18) 5. Demonic spirits and messages come out of the False Prophet mouth. (Revelation 16:13-14)

Mohammad fulfilled all five of the warnings Jesus gave us about the False Prophet.

2. SATAN WAS THROWN FROM HEAVEN BY THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL The ultimate desire of Satan is to take God’s place and be worshipped. Satan was first cast out of heaven at least by the time of the fall of man. (Genesis 3:1-5) Apparently, Satan was able to secure a considerable following among the angels, resulting in one third being removed from heaven (Luke 10:18; II Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:4). Satan was cast out of heaven for the final time by Michael and his angels (Rev 8:10 "a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky") sometime after Christ's resurrection. Unfortunately, so many church members erroneously think and say that Satan and his demons were thrown out of heaven for the final time early in creation. While we do not know the exact date, we know it likely took place after the death of the apostles, possibly long after, since the book of Revelation wrote about future events reaching down to our time.

Revelation 12:7-9 (NIV) Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. 3. FOR 22 YEARS A SPIRIT WAS REVEALED TO MOHAMMAD Mohammad was born in 570 AD in Mecca in present-day Saudi Arabia. He could not read or write. Occasionally, he would retreat to a cave named Hira in the mountains for several nights of seclusion and prayer. In the year 610, at age 40, he reported being visited by spirit claiming to be the “Angel Gabriel” in the cave and was given his first on many revelations from God. Mohammad called this new Fortress God “Allah.” The visits from the spirit continued for twenty-two years until Mohammad died in 632. What Mohammad said about his encounters tells you clearly who was visiting him. The interactions with “Angel Gabriel” (in reality Satan the deceiver) were so overwhelming that Mohammad considered suicide. He said: “Never once did I receive a revelation without thinking that my soul had been torn away from me.” Only Satan has this power over a non-believer’s soul. “Islam” means surrender. This spirit was most likely the "Man of Lawlessness." 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NIV) Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day [the return of Christ] will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

4. THE SPIRIT GAVE MOHAMMAD A FALSE STORY OF JESUS The “Angel Gabriel” told Mohammad the Torah (given to Moses the prophet) and the Gospel (given to Jesus the prophet) were first correct, but then Jews and later the apostles corrupted the text. Thus today the Old Testament and New Testament text cannot be seen as reliable, although Muslims can give no examples of this corruption. The main teaching from “Gabriel” was that Jesus was not the Son of God and was not crucified. Gabriel’s goal was to take away the path to salvation God gave us. The “Angel Gabriel” told Mohammad that Jesus was only a prophet, and not God, nor God’s Son. “Allah” is one God, and there is no Trinity. The Angel Gabriel was opposed to the Holy Spirit. Jesus was not crucified, was not raised from the dead. Instead, someone took the place of Jesus just before he was crucified. Jesus was not the Messiah, and to claim so or belief in the Trinity is the worst sin. Mohammad was the last prophet (the “Seal”) and therefore no one after him can contradict him. The Koran 4:157: Mohammad said Jesus did not die on the cross. Koran 4:157 And for their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but another was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. The Koran 3:55 and 43:57-59,63 verses quote Mohammad said Jesus did not die on the cross, but that Allah just killed him, and Jesus was not raised from the dead. Jesus awaits resurrection like everyone else. Koran 3:55 Then Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you in submission to Allah alone superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. Koran 43:57-59 And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud. And they said, "Are our gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for mere argument. But, in fact, they are a people prone to dispute. Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel. Koran 43:63 And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ, so fear Allah and obey me."

5. MOHAMMAD CLAIMED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE LAMB Jesus warned the False Prophet would try to be connected to the Lamb. In the Koran, Jesus is named in various verses at least 37 times. The Koran claims Jesus promised Mohammad would follow him. The Koran claims Mohammad's name can be found in the Bible. Islam expects Jesus (the prophet) to return in the last days and kill all non-Muslims. Revelation 13:11 (NIV) Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. Muslims consistently say Jesus promised Mohammad would follow him, and cite John 16:13 (“The Spirit of Truth”) as proof. Of course, Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit, not a person. That Jesus promised Mohammad is a common teaching in Islam. Therefore Revelation 13:11 warns us that the False Prophet will attempt to look like the Lamb, be connected to, or be associated with the Lamb. 6. MOHAMMAD TRAVELED WITH THE SPIRIT TO THE OUTER COURT ONE NIGHT ON A WHITE HORSE Today all of Islam fights for the Outer Court on the Temple Mount. The Koran says Mohammad was taken to the outer court on the Temple Mount on a white horse, a place Revelation 11:2 says was set aside for non-believing gentiles, and does not belong to the people of God since it is "excluded." Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV) I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.” Koran 17:1 Holy is He Who carried His servant [Mohammad] by night from the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the farther Mosque in Jerusalem - whose surroundings we have blessed - that we might show him some of our signs.

7. MOHAMMAD GAVE THE MARK—THE SHAHADA To understand the spiritual importance of the image and the mark, we must understand they are an abomination to the true God, and yet most important to those that worship a false god. In other words they are important to both Christ and the antichrist. The Islamic Shahada (the mark) and daily prayer and pilgrimage to the Kaaba (the image) are key worship parts of the Five Pillars of Islam. The final form of the Shahada was completed in the year 666. Revelation 13:16-18 (NIV) It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

The false image used to physically worship and honor Satan, and there is severe punishment from God for worshiping the image. This image is the Kaaba Blackstone set up by Mohammad in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Rev 14:11 (NIV) And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.

8. MOHAMMAD SET UP THE IMAGE—THE KAABA BLACKSTONE IN MECCA Revelation describes the image that honors and worships the beast as follows: “image in honor of the beast”, “image in honor of the first beast”, “worships the beast and its image”, “worship the beast and its image”, “victorious over the beast and its image”, “worshiped its image”, “and worshiped its image”, “not worshiped the beast and its image”. All Muslims face the image to pray five times per day. They are required to visit the image with a pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Mohammad, the False Prophet, set up the Kaaba Blackstone image in Mecca. It is the “House of Allah.” It holds a black meteorite. It is the central part of the Islamic pilgrimage for all Muslims. Revelation 13:14 (NIV) Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. Zechariah 5:6-8,11 (NIV) I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.” Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it. “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me. He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

9. THE FIRST RIDER OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN WAS MOHAMMAD ON A WHITE HORSE The Four Horsemen are described in the first four seals opened by Jesus Christ in Revelation chapter 6, verses 1-8. The Four Horsemen lead a vast spiritual war against the truth of Jesus, and conquer many with their false doctrine. False doctrine comes from a False Prophet. Revelation 6:1-2 (NIV) “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” The first rider on the white horse claims to speak for God, but instead speaks for Satan. He carries a bow, which indicates he is a descent of Ishmael--the archer (Genesis 21:20 And God was with the boy as he grew up in the wilderness. He became a skillful archer.) The First Horsemen’s religious deception is the first major trend to develop after Christ’s departure from earth—i.e., falsely representing the truth of God, which deceives many. Three others follow in quick succession right behind him, and have power over a quarter of the world's population.

(Highest Ranking) White Horse Mohammad 570-632

Red Horse Abu Bakr 632-634

Black Horse Umar 634-644

Green Horse Uthman 644-656

The Great Split Shia Sunni

10. THE SECOND RIDER OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN WAS ABU BAKR ON A RED HORSE Revelation tells us the second horseman is on a red horse. He does not rank as highly as the first because he does not wear a crown. Revelation 6:3-4 (NIV) When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword. The second rider on the Red Horse of War was the 1st Caliph after Mohammad, Abu Bakr. From 622 to 632, Abu Bakr was Mohammad's chief adviser, but had no prominent public functions except that he conducted the pilgrimage to Mecca in 631, and led the public prayers to Allah in Medina during Mohammad's last illness in 632. In 632 Abu Bakr became the first caliph. Abu Bakr's caliphate crushed the rebellion of the Arab tribes throughout the Arabian Peninsula in the successful Ridda Wars. Though the period of his caliphate covered only 27 months, it included successful invasions of the two most powerful empires of the time: the Sassanid Persian Empire and Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire. In the last months of his rule, Abu Bakr sent general Khalid on conquests against the Persian Sassanid Empire in Mesopotamia and against the Byzantine Empire in Syria. This would set in motion a great Islamic Empire continued by Umar and then Uthman. In just a few short decades this would lead to one of the largest empires in history, and control a quarter of the world. 11. THE THIRD RIDER OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN WAS UMAR ON A BLACK HORSE Umar was the second caliph and followed Abu Bakr. Umar ruled from 634 to 644. Revelation tells us the third rider is on a black horse with a pair of scales. Umar conquered the Beautiful Land. Umar conquered many counties including Jerusalem. Revelation 6:5-6 (NIV) When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds {quart} of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds (3 quarts} of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

10 www.revelation-now.org ©2018

Among the many things Umar did was impose a new tax system. Under Umar, the caliphate expanded at an unprecedented rate, defeating the Sassanid Empire and more than two-thirds of the Byzantine Empire. His attacks against the Sassanid Empire resulted in the conquest of Persia in under two years (642–644). After invading the Holy Land, and conquering Jerusalem in 637, Umar gave a covenant, or pact, that was a harsh treaty between the Muslims, Jews and Christians of Syria, Mesopotamia and Jerusalem. Umar "distributed the land for a price" (Daniel 11:39.) Umar instituted taxation on the conquered peoples, as illustrated by the pair of scales to calculate the tax. UMAR--"THE KING WILL DO AS HE PLEASES" IN DANIEL 11:36-45 Daniel was taken captive in 605 BC as part of the Babylonian captivity of Israel. Daniel finished his work around the year 530 BC, shortly after the capture of Babylon by Cyrus of Persia in 539 BC. In the book of Daniel (Daniel 11:36-45 and 7:23-25) he sees a future king who treats the Holy People very badly. This King defeats three kings, and changes the set times and laws. In all, Umar fulfilled 31 prophecies of Daniel. This king has many battlefield conquests and invades the Holy Land. Today many people think this king is still in the future (perhaps the “Antichrist”), but almost certainly Daniel was writing about the second Muslim caliph after Mohammad named Umar. Daniel wrote this 1,200 years before Umar. Umar was murdered in a mosque in Media, and no one came to help him.

12. THE FOURTH RIDER OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN WAS UTHMAN ON A PALE GREEN HORSE Revelation tells us the fourth rider is on a pale green horse. Revelation 6:7-8 (NIV) When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. In many Bible footnotes, there is an explanation that the color is not pale, but rather pale green or green. The footnotes indicate the Greek word in verse 8 is chlóros: meaning pale green or green. This is the same derivative as in the word “chlorophyll”, which gives the green color of leaves. Uthman is critically important in Islamic history because after his death marked the beginning of open massive religious and civil war conflicts within the Islamic community (called the “Fitnah”). Uthman was also murdered by other Muslims. Following his death, Ali was chosen as the fourth caliph, but not before violent conflict broke out. War erupted when Ali became caliph, and he too was killed in fighting in the year 661 near the town of Kufa, now in present-day Iraq. 13. THE FOUR HORSEMEN HAD POWER OVER ONE QUARTER OF THE WORLD Revelation tells us the Four Horsemen will have power over one quarter of the world. (Revelation 6:8 "They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.") The Four Horsemen set in motion the Umayyad Caliphate. At its greatest extent, the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) covered 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles) and had power over 62 million people (estimated between 25% to 29% of the world’s population at that time), making it the one of the largest empires in history in both area and proportion of the world’s population. Today about 28% of the world is Islamic. The “Rightly Guided Caliphs” is a term used in Sunni Islam to refer to the 30-year reign of the first four caliphs (successors) following the death of the Islamic prophet Mohammad, namely: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali.

14. THE SEALS, TRUMPETS AND BOWLS The seven seals (Rev. 6:1-17, 8:1-5), seven trumpets (Rev. 8:6-9:21; 11:15-19), and seven bowls (Rev. 16:1-21) are three categories of prophetic events covering interrelated human and spiritual end-time activities, and the final judgments from God. The seals describe events dealing with humans, the trumpets describe events in the spiritual world, and the bowls describe God's Wrath on the last day. The Satanic and demonic forces described in the trumpets cause human events to unfold over time. The trumpets and seals overlap one another. Seals Trumpets Bowls Human Realm Spiritual Realm God’s Wrath THE SIXTH SEAL IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING SEQUENCE OF SEALS, TRUMPETS AND BOWLS; IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD The sixth seal deals with human events on earth during the Day of the Lord. Thus, many of the trumpet events in the spiritual world must precede it. The seals, trumpets and bowls are not strictly chronological. It is easier to understand the seals and trumpets when their realms are visualized. All the seal prophecies relate to human realm, and all the trumpets describe the mostly unseen spiritual realm. The spiritual realm demons (trumpet prophecies) cause the humans to act on earth to fulfill the seal prophecies. The triune nature of God is affirmed with the words “For the great day of their wrath has come.” Trumpet spiritual events must occur before the sixth seal. The Day of the Lord occurs when the last trumpet is sounded. (Paul tells us this in 1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”)

But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. "Allah, who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence."

16. THE FIVE MONTHS [152 YEARS] OF DEMONIC ISLAMIC RAMPAGE 610-762 Revelation 9:3-7 (NIV) And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 610 AD – Demonic spirit claiming to be “Angel Gabriel” appears to Mohammad. 622 AD – Mohammad leaves Mecca for Medina. 630 AD – Mecca conquered by Mohammad. 632 AD – Invasion of Ethiopia but the invading Islamic army was repelled by the orthodox church backed by the Portuguese. 632 AD – Mohammad dies and buried in Medina 633 AD – All the desert tribes of Arabia were thoroughly subdued through military campaigns. 635 AD – The attacking Islamic army conquered Damascus. 637 AD – The Persians (Iranians) were defeated at the battle of Qadisiyya. 637 AD – Islam conquers Iraq. 638 AD – Islamic fighters occupied Jerusalem. 639 AD – All of Syria fell into Muslim hands. 642 AD – All of Egypt fell to Muslims after some resistance in Alexandria. The great Coptic church was destroyed never to get strong again. 670 AD – Sea assault against Byzantium. 688 AD – The fall of Carthage 688/689 AD – Dome of the Rock built 687-691 702 AD – The Berber tribes of North Africa conquered. 705-708 AD – Occupation of North Africa. 711-713 AD – Arabian expansionists captured all of Spain and Portugal. 715-717 AD – Arabian armies subdued Afghanistan, central Asia, and much of northern India. 718AD – Islamic forces started attacking France. 725AD – The invading Islamic armies besieged Toulouse and raided Burgundy and the Rhone valley. 732 AD – The Islamic armies advanced into France where they were defeated by Charles Martel. 750 AD – Abbasid Muslim forces reach and capture Damascus. 750-760 AD – Muslim merchants visited and settled in Chang’an, the largest city in China 762 AD– Baghdad founded by new Caliphate, the new Islamic capital

The Jewish people were continuously occupied during the 70th seven. Israel was punished for exactly 2,484 modern years (2,520 Old Testament 7x 360 day/years) from 536 BC until 1948 AD. While many think the "sacrifice taken away" refers to Temple Sacrifice, the only sacrifice that matters is the sacrifice of Jesus. In the middle of the seven, Satan attempted to take away the sacrifice of Jesus with his revelations to Mohammad. The Islamic abominations were set up in 688 and 706. 18. THE WOMAN [ISRAEL] WAS IN THE WILDERNESS FOR 1260 DAYS UNTIL 1948 Revelation 12:6 (NIV) The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. Daniel tells us it will be 1290 days/years until the abomination is set up. This was 583 BC until 688 AD. Revelation 11 tells us that the non-believing Gentiles will be given the outer court of the Temple Mount and sets a timeline in motion. This is the Islamic Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. It was constructed between 687 and 691 AD with a mid-point of 688/689. The Islamic writings on the Dome of the Rock blaspheme Christ by saying “God did not have a Son" and deny the Holy Spirit. Revelation 11 tells us two witnesses, which are the Jewish Remnant and Christians, will prophesy symbolically 1260 days, or literally 1260 years. Israel was in the wilderness for 1260 years until 1948.

19. THE HOLY CITY WAS TRAMPLED FOR 42 MONTHS UNTIL 1967 Revelation 11:1-2 (NIV) I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months." 20. THE DISPERSED ISRAELITES WOULD COME OUT OF THEIR GRAVES BACK TO ISRAEL Ezekiel 37:12-14 (NIV) "My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them." "I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.” 21. THE SPIRIT WOULD BE POURED OUT WHEN THE DESOLATE CITIES ARE REBUILT Since 1967 there are some 325,000 Jews that have accepted Jesus as the Messiah. Ezekiel 36:33-34 (NIV) “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it."

22. OPERATION EZRA AND NEHEMIAH SAVED ONE MILLION TRAPPED JEWS 1948-1951 Revelation 11:11-12 (NIV) But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on. 23. THE TROUBLE FOR JACOB WOULD BE SHORTENED; YET TWO THIRDS WOULD BE STRUCK DOWN During World War II, the Nazis murdered two thirds (about 6 million) of all Jews under their control. They would have killed more if the days of the war were not shortened with the Allied victory.

The killing of the Jews ended in 1945, shortly before Israel was reborn in 1948. The year 1948 marked the fulfillment of many prophecies and timeline dates.

Zechariah 13:8 (NIV) "In the whole land, declares the Lord, two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it."

Mark 13:20 (NIV) “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them."

24. GOD PROMISED: “I WILL GATHER THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND, NOT LEAVING ANY BEHIND." Ezekiel 39:27-28 (NIV) "When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind." 25. THE HEAVENS WOULD BE SHUT AND WITHOUT RAIN According to NASA, Iran is facing the worst drought in 900 years. Most of Iran will be uninhabitable in less than two years. Revelation 11:6 (NIV) They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

26. ISLAM TODAY CARRIES THE FOUR COLORS OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN The Bible says the colors of the Four Horsemen are 1) white, 2) red and 3) black, but many translations give the fourth color as "pale". The correct translation is green, or pale green. The Greek word in Revelation 6:8 for the fourth color is chlóros: or pale green.
