“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear”( Rev 13:1-9).

This person will be a super political, military and religious leader in the Last Days (Rev 13:1-9).

In the Last Days Muslims expect  there will arise a Muslim leader called Al-Mahdi, meaning "The Guided One". He will be the leader of all the Muslims and will wage Holy War( jihad) against the rest of the world and bring the entire world under the banner Islam. This means his kingdom will be global empire and his accomplishment will surpass all the great Empires that ever existed in the history. Thus, he will be an unparalleled ruler over the whole world.

 Mahdism is a very importantly known as the  hope  among several Muslims, including the late Osama bin Laden, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, etc, in recent history many of the global terrorists have made  speeches concerning  coming of the Mahdi.

Now the biggest confusion is how the Anti Christ will conquer the Christian nations around the world and Europe?




Is there any Christian Nation in the world?

The little Horn
The Beast will rule over the whole world for a while in the Bible Prophecies
The problem is of course one will be hard-pressed to find any "Christian" nation in the world. Europe is in the post-Christian era, and America is really not much far behind. There is no nation in this world that has its constitution grounded in the Bible (influenced, yes, but not grounded solidly as described by Christ in the parable of wise and foolish builder who built therir houses on : the wise on the rock and the foolish on the sand Matt 7:24-27). After-all, with separation of church and state in these traditional "Christian" countries, many have abandoned Christianity as state religion to be more inclusive of everyone, including Muslims. So, for the whole world to follow the al-Mahdi (the Beast) is a real possibility, since another reason as we shall soon see, is that any Biblical Christians around will be persecuted during the End Times. Another reason is that Europe is fast becoming Islamicized, and as such, Europe might even become "Eurabia" soon. Thus Europe is or will be ready to accept,  either willingly or not, the domination of Islam soon.

Hadith : The Imam Al Madhi and Muslim "Jesus" will attack and conquer Jerusalem in the name of Islam

Bible : The Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem as his seat of authority.

The Imam Al Madhi will establish the Islamic Caliphate from Jerusalem. The Caliphate is a religious and political leader of all Islam and all Muslims. With the whole world having to accept Islam he will in effect be a world ruler from Jerusalem

The task of the Beast will be to distinguish the believers from the non-believers, with Prophet Moosa's staff it will draw a line on the forehead of every believer whereby his face will become bright and luminous and with the ring of Sulaman it will seal the nose of every non-believer where by his whole face will become black. Thus there will be complete distinction between the Muslim and non-Muslirn, so that if many parties sit at a dinner table, the Muslim and non-Muslirn will be distinguished. (Abu Huraira-Musnad Ahmad/Tirmidhi).(Hadith and Bible comparison of Anti Christ by:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120504030500AALffyc).

So dear Reader the Rider on the white Horse is a symbolic imitator of Christ who in disguise shows to make peace with Israel but in reality he is the god of war and perplexity the Anti Christ.

Is Islam will dominate the wolrd in the
End of Days ?

To Christians, he is the last "false prophet, i.e., the Antichrist.  To Shia Islam, he is al-Mahdi.  One belief sees him as the instrument of satan's highest hour.  The other as an instrument of peace and justice, and who will bring the world to Islam, albeit through his sword.
  
So we see that after the rider appears on the panorama , the world goes  into the chaos that is what Bible actually defines it as the Last Hour. Many Bible scholars interpret  the rider on a white Horse prior to the Second advent of Christ(Revelation 19:11) to be an Antichrist:

Thus the rider is an imposter - an Antichrist.  The bow (without arrows) represents that he has an agenda of  false peace.  The rider is pictured as one who comes out carrying with his rise to power a false Messiah with false promise of peace.  This is in exact design that correlates the Anti Christ agenda  who makes a false treaty of peace  with Nation  Israel at the outset  of the seven-year period of his rule.  The crown on his head is  a clear implication that he will rise to the  position of authority and leadership that will be given to him as written in the prophecies.  But we see that in the light of the prophecies the true impetus and twisted of the rider is to conquer.  The true  identity and activity of the rider will be to bring apocalyptic chaos and destruction  but not an age of peace as expected by the people around the world to be their Messiah. 

“While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape”(I Thess 5:3).

 “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace”( Jeremiah 6:14).

"Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash”( Ezekiel 13:10).

 “Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells”( Isaiah 47:9).

To our surprise even the Islamic scholars are also believing that the emergence of Al-Mahdi as written in the Bible in Rev 6 is about their long expected messiah who brings whole world to the obedience of Islam……

The early Muslim transmitter of Hadith, Ka’b al Ahbar is also quoted as saying:  
I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets… For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse.  He that sat on him…went forth conquering and to conquer.” 16

KING of Kings
In the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every
tongue will confess
So in conclusion, we see that several of the most unique and distinguishing aspects of the biblical Antichrist’s person, mission and actions are parallel to the descriptions of the Mahdi as found in the Islamic traditions.  This is not an irony that the Islamic scholars are also believing the Bible prophecies to be true which matches’ the mission of the Al-Mahdi mission  which we are to believe the prophetic message of the Bible  prior to the second advent of Christ.

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light”(II Cor 11:14).

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”( Ephesians 6:12).

Whom you will bow down to worship the Anti-Christ or The Lord Jesus Christ who loved you and came to this world and died for you to give you  eternal salvation.


The Rainbow of God an excerpt from Reinhard Bonnke:


Rainbow
The Rainbow is the God's archery against the Devil
Photo by:https://www.facebook.com/jesus.bible.3

"When Noah saw the earth desolated by the Flood, he must have been traumatized. Afterwards, whenever the skies grew dark overhead, he would need reassurance. God said, “I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth” (Genesis 9:13). The rainbow is the flag of God, the seven-colored royal standard. No icon, no regimental colors and no imperial symbol could match that! The word “bow” in Genesis 9:13 (where it is translated “rainbow”) is the same Hebrew word as for a bow which is used to shoot arrows – a weapon of war, but what a weapon, spanning the whole horizon! What mighty arrows it must shoot when God goes into battle against the devil! “The Lord will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior He will stir up His zeal; with a shout He will raise the battle cry and will triumph over His enemies” (Isaiah 42:13). The rainbow is not a mere phenomenon of natural beauty but a divine reminder of God’s archery. The divine graphics span the whole Bible, for when we reach the book of Revelation we read. “A rainbow … encircled the throne … From the throne came flashes of lightning ” (Revelation (4:3-5). God’s mighty arrows. No wind can blow a rainbow away and no devil can switch it off. The battle truly belongs to the Lord. We all suffer life’s storms, when ominous blackness fills our skies, but that arching splendor of prismatic color in the rain cloud, seen with our mortal eyes, is the objective standard of God to reassure us. It is a sign of God’s love bent to the world and to us. Jesus said: “Be of good cheer, it is I.” God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE
