Why The Islamic Antichrist Theory Matters

By Joel Richardson – “As a well-known prophecy teacher, my email inbox is frequently full of questions, comments and news articles from those interested in biblical prophecy. While some of these emails are certainly helpful and interesting, there are also many that I would put into the category of ‘biblical prophecy as morbid trivia.’ What I mean is that there are many believers who are overly fixated on discussing the many intricate details concerning the many dark events looming on the horizon. Now, to be clear, I say this as someone who deeply values biblical prophecy, but I will be the first to admit that much of what passes for biblical prophecy today is a mixture of conspiracy theories and extra-biblical concepts with only a thin ribbon of biblical passages intertwined throughout, so as to give it the appearance of credibility. I will also be the first to acknowledge that there are numerous Christians who have lost their way, having become completely distracted from the primary mandate of the Christian church, which is the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom – in both word and deed.

On the other hand, there are many Christians, who have overreacted to the unhealthy emphasis of some and now avoid the subject of biblical prophecy altogether. This is equally grievous. The Lord did not fill the pages of the Bible with prophecy because he wanted us to avoid the subject.

Although there are numerous highly relevant reasons for Christians to study biblical prophecy, I would like to use the remainder of this article to touch on just one deeply relevant reason specifically as to why the emerging Islamic Antichrist theory is so essential for the church to get a hold of. In brief, the answer is because the

‘Deadly’: Barack Hussein Obama’s New Islamic World Order

By Daniel Greenfield – “Three years after Obama appeared in Cairo to praise Islam, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Mohammed Morsi, the country’s new Islamist president, and urged the army to turn over power to him.

In three years Egypt had gone from a stabilizing influence and a regional ally to a blossoming Sunni Iran. If Egypt’s transformation had been an isolated incident, it would still have been a foreign policy disaster, but it was actually part of a chain of such transformations with Islamists coming to power in Tunisia, Islamist thugs sweeping across Mali to enforce Sharia law and the Muslim Brotherhood emerging as the dominant force in Syria’s rebel council and likely transitional government under the auspices of Turkey’s AKP Islamist rulers.

Al-Azhar University, which Obama described in his Cairo speech as ‘a beacon of Islamic learning,’ is part of the mechanism by which Coptic Christian women and girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islam. It was also this ‘beacon of Islamic learning’ that Dr. Muhammad, the head of its Department of Islamic Preaching and Culture, declared that Jews are the source of all evil.

This is the beacon of the new Islamic world order that Obama’s disastrous pandering enabled. But it began even earlier.

Obama’s first visit outside the hemisphere, after a few obligatory European summits, was to Turkey where he addressed a parliament dominated by Islamists. When Obama arrived in Istanbul, the AKP was working to eliminate Turkish secularism and replace it with its own brand of Islamism. Its attack on the Turkish Constitution was still controversial and many Turkish patriots continued to speak out against it.

Obama assured Turkey’s Islamist leadership that America was not a Christian or Jewish nation, even while hypocritically endorsing Islamist leaders working to transform Turkey into a strictly Muslim nation. His embrace of Prime Minister Erdogan, President Abdullah Gul and the AKP parliament provided the Islamists, who had ties to Al-Qaeda and had formed into a coalition a month before the attacks of September 11, with a

Veil Finally Being Lifted On Muslim Rape Epidemic – “For years there have been reports on blogs, personal testimonials and the like, about what looked like a literal epidemic of rape by Muslim men of both women and children, especially in northern European nations where the Muslim immigrant population is high. But the disturbing reports rarely rose to the level that would make the general population aware of the dangers that were becoming evident. After all, such a report would be blasted for attacking Islam and discriminating against Muslims. Until now, when a case from the United Kingdom has proven so egregious it could not be ignored.” Read more.

Thailand: Authorities Launch Investigation After 100,000 Dead Fish Found Along 3 Kilometer Stretch Of Lam Takong River

“Nakhon Ratchasima authorities met to discuss the cause of a mass fish death in the Lam Takong River, as wastewater discharged from communities and ice factories may be two reasons that lead to the incident.

Some 100,000 dead fish were found along a 3 kilometre-long stretch of the Lam Takong River, from Samrong Chan community to VIV Housing Estate, two days ago.

Nakhon Ratchasima vice governor Chayawut Chanthorn on Sunday chaired a meeting of relevant agencies to find the cause of the incident and told reporters after the one hour meeting that according to an initial investigation, dissolved oxygen level was measured at lower than two miligramme per litre, and at some points was below one milligramme per litre.

The unusually low dissolved oxygen could result from wastewater originating from nearby communities or from the factories along the river, as an oil slick was found near the fish.

Provincial authorities have collected fish and water samples to determine the cause of deaths. Results of the tests are expected by July 17-18.

Officials would also inspect the factories to see whether wastewater was discharged into the river or not. There were reportedly four ice factories located near the river.” Source – pdn.

Canada: Two Separate BC Fish Kills In Okanagan Lake A Mystery

By Judie Steeves, Kelowna Capital News – “An investigation is going on into two fish kills in Okanagan Lake, but it’s not yet known whether they are related or not.

Hundreds of dead carp and Northern pike minnows were discovered Monday in and around Rotary Marsh in Kelowna’s downtown north end, where Brandt Creek flushes into Okanagan Lake.

Conservation officer Ed Seitz was at the scene Monday afternoon and said he couldn’t see any evidence of a chemical or fuel spill, but he removed some of the carcasses to have some laboratory tests done on them.

All the fish he saw were coarse fish rather than game fish, and he said it appeared they died within the past day or two.

City of Kelowna staff have also taken water samples both in Rotary Marsh—a re-constructed wetland that is now a city park—and at several spots upstream in Brandt Creek, but there were no results by the Capital News deadline, according to Todd Cashin, Environment and Land Use manager with the city.

Cashin had visited the site earlier in the day and said there didn’t appear to be different age classes, but he couldn’t speculate what might have caused the deaths.” Read more.

Pennsylvania: Hundreds Of Fish Found Along Lake Erie Shore Killed By ‘Natural Phenomenon’

The Erie Times-News -“Hundreds of dead and dying sheepshead showed up along the Lake Erie shore in recent days.

The fish, also known as freshwater drum, were spotted over the weekend along North East Township near the Pennsylvania-New York state line and also in western Erie County between Elk Creek in Girard Township and Crooked Creek in Springfield Township.

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection officials said the die-off was due to a ‘natural phenomenon’ called a seiche and was unrelated to pollution or other stresses caused by humans.

Jim Grazio, a Great Lakes biologist with the state DEP, investigated, spokesman Kevin Sunday said.

‘His investigation led DEP to the conclusion that the event was likely the result of a recent ‘upwelling’ of cold water in Lake Erie,’ Sunday said.

Similar die-offs were reported in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie, he said.

‘Recent strong winds from the east/northeast forced Lake Erie surface waters toward the western end of the lake. When the winds calmed, gravity pulled the water back setting up the classic ‘sloshing’ of water that is the surface seiche,’ Sunday said.” Read more.

India: Dozens Of Turtles Found Dead Along The Pavana Banks

I will get information from the concerned officials and only then will be able to comment.’

S K Patil, Range Forest Officer, Vadgaon Maval, said, ‘I have recently taken charge. I do not know where this phenomnenon has happened.’ He also added that since he is new to the territory, he doesn’t know what the local situation is.

Meanwhile, R K Jagtap, an engineer at Pavana dam, visited the dam on Sunday and again on Tuesday. He was still clueless about the cause of the turtles’ deaths.” Read more.

Iranian Naval Commander: We Will Soon Deploy Warships In The Atlantic

By Patrick Goodenough, CNS News – “For the second time in less than a year, Iran’s top naval commander has said Iranian Navy vessels will soon be plying the Atlantic Ocean, having made great strides in recent years in expanding its presence beyond Iranian waters.

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari’s comments came on the same day Iran launched its first domestically-built oil tanker. The 21,000-ton vessel, capable of carrying up to 750,000 barrels of oil, was ordered by Venezuela, and Sayyari’s remarks raise the possibility that a warship may escort the tanker on its delivery sailing to Iran’s Latin American ally.

Iran has also established close ties with Cuba, another potential destination for an Iranian Navy Atlantic voyage.

‘The navy has carried out successful activities in open seas, and in the near future we will witness the presence of the navy in the Atlantic Ocean,’ the Mehr news agency quoted Sayyari as saying.
