Islam’s vow to deliver up this entire world to Allah’s rule and devotion is no idle threat. In fact, your Bible testifies quite clearly and unmistakably that this will indeed occur, no, not in your lifetime, perhaps not in the lifetime of your children or grandchildren, but before Jesus’ return Islam will become the one world religion spoken of in the Book of Revelation. (See Revelation Chapter 13).
I purchased and read my first Koran (Quran) over thirty-five years ago, reading every word in it again and again. That is when the Lord opened my eyes to see that the “beast” of Revelation is Islam and “the false prophet” of Revelation is Roman Catholicism. These two false religions will join hands at the very close of the age, shortly before Christ’s return. Satan is the author and preserver of both of these error-filled, murderous religions.
In the 23rd chapter of Luke’s gospel account, verses 11 and 12, we read these words: “And Herod with his men of war set Him (Jesus Christ) at nought, and mocked Him and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him to Pilate (for sentencing), and the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together for before they were at enmity (hostile) between themselves.” Satan, in order to get Jesus put to death, moved in the minds and hearts of these two evil men, who formerly had hated one another, to make them move in agreement against their common foe, Jesus Christ. The citizens of this evil world, living at the close of the age, are going to see some strange bedfellows – Roman Catholicism and Islam – united! These two entities, who despise and hate one another now, will eventually embrace and unite forces to stamp out all other religions. Many believers can easily see Roman Catholicism in the prophecies of Revelation. Few see Islam, and, of the two, Islam is the most dangerous and destructive.
Roman Catholicism has a long endurance record – centuries longer than Islam. Roman Catholiism will not allow herself to be engulfed and annihilated by Islam. Roman Catholicism has long been a great compromiser If various South American peoples and South American Indians are deeply attached to their ancient religious beliefs Roman Catholicism simply incorporates them into their religion. If Rome had to force a pope (Pope Benedict XVI) into retirement in order to appease Islam, Rome did so.
This present generation will not be on the scene when Roman Catholicism and Islam unite. The generation to follow might not live long enough to see this occur, but I assure you, this unification will come to pass. God help you to understand.
