Petition demands freedom for 2 Christians

I’ve organized a petition through World Net Daily for the release of Maryam and Marzieh from Iranian prison. We’ve discussed their situation here several times. You can sign the petition by going here. I would like everyone who visits this blog to forward this petition to everyone you know. I genuinely believe that this is […]

A Few Comments Regarding Jack Kelley’s Recent Article

I wanted to add a few of my own brief thoughts regarding Jack Kelley’s article posted below. Although Jack and I may disagree on some finer issues, I was genuinely blessed by the measure of humility that he showed throughout this article. It is articles like this that I so yearn to see more of […]

Islam and the End Times By Jack Kelley

I loves Jack Kelley’s heart. Very gracious as always. Excellent article. Though sadly, despite its humble tone, I’m sure it will still infuriate some. Grace Through Faith: Thereӳ a lot of interest in the role of Islam in the End Times. And from what Iӭ reading, a lot of misunderstanding, too. Recent surveys are shedding […]

Should Christians, Muslims and Jews unite?

By Joel Richardson: WND: Everywhere we turn these days, Muslims, Christians and Jews seem to be making calls for interfaith unity. The spirit of the age seems to be of the opinion that to be true “peacemakers” we must join together for various interfaith prayer initiates or justice-related issues. On the surface, these efforts have […]

Beck on the Mahdi

Beck needs to have me on sometime. He gets a lot of his info wrong. Ayatollah Khomeini never banned “Twelvers”, as he himself was one. He banned the Hojjatieh of which Ahmadinejad is arguably a member of and which Mesbah Yazdi below is as well.

Interview with Irvin Baxter

I had a very good interview with Irvin Baxter this evening. One hour long. You may listen to it here. While Irvin believes that the Antichrist will come from the Roman Empire, we had a great discussion. I was also pleased to learn that Irvin also shares with myself and Dave Hunt the conviction that […]

Interview with Joel Richardson: The Islamic Antichrist

Baltimore Christian Examiner: Joel Richardson is author of The Islamic Antichrist, a book whose premise is that Islamic eschatology is sort of a mirror opposite of Christian eschatology. Joel has also written several other books but this is his ministry not his business. Joel has dedicated a lot of his time to studying Islam so […]

Video: Al-Qaida is army of the Mahdi

Joel Richardon: WND: An al-Qaida video just released on YouTube titled “The Mahdi Army” reveals for the first time the deep degree to which al-Qaida views itself to be the prophesied apocalyptic Mahdi army. While this is something I and other observers of Islamic apocalyptic movements have been very suspicious of for years, this video […]

The shameful burial place of the Antichrist

Another somewhat common idea that I have encountered within prophecy discussions is the notion that the “Gog” of Ezekiel 38,39 cannot be the Antichrist because Gog receives a burial and Antichrist does not. This idea comes from a surface reading of the two following passages: But thou art cast out of thy grave like an […]

On the death of Gog / the Antichrist

Throughout the Body of Christ, or more specifically that portion of the Body of Christ that pays attention to Biblical Prophecy, there is a question about whether or not “Gog” of Ezekiel 38,39 and the Antichrist are one and the same. One of the issues that some point to in order to claim that Gog […]

A Critical Review Of the Islamic End Time Paradigm By Jacob Prasch

I got this critique via e-mail. I do not know Jacob Prasch but have heard good things about him and his ministry. My general feeling after skimming through is that he tried to be fair and generous in some places, but not so much in others. Presently, I don’t have time to write a small […]

Does Bible really predict Russian invasion of Israel?

WND: Joel Richardson: If you are a student of Bible prophecy, I have some shocking news. I want to shatter a very popular prophecy myth. Russia is not about to invade the land of Israel. In fact, Russia is never even spoken of in Biblical prophecy. Despite all of the hype and discussion that has […]

Are church leaders affirming Allah?

By Pastor Joe Schimmel: Has anyone noticed how hundreds of professing Christian leaders are compromising their faith by uniting with Muslims? Could it be that we are witnessing the formation of the prophesied one-world religion under the Antichrist? (Revelation 13:1-18) For example, Brian McLaren, a prominent Emerging Church leader, announced plans to celebrate the Islamic […]

The Arrivals

A must see. The following is a multi-part series that is going viral on You Tube. It is a documentary of sorts written by a Muslim group. The impact that my book and the Mahdi=Antichrist message has made is evident. What is ironic is that the response is if anyone tells you that the Mahdi […]

‘Christians’ celebrating Ramadan?

By Joel Richardson: WND: As the Islamic observance of Ramadan begins this year, an increasing number of Christians will also be entering into 30 days of prayer and fasting. Across the world, a growing number of Christians have been joining the movement led by the 30-Days Prayer Network, which calls Christians to pray and fast […]

Audio: Harun Yahya: Build a Worship Center on the Temple Mount

Tamar does an exclusive interview with best selling Muslim author, Harun Yahya, who says he wants to see a worship center up on the Temple Mount. Tamar does this exclusive interview with him through a phone call from Turkey, as he explains his stance on what he wants to see built, how it should function, […]

Ayatollah pushes Islamic ‘resistance’ army

WND: After calling for a regional military alliance under the banner of the Islam’s messianic “Mahdi,” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, along with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is continuing the push for a regional “resistance” army against Israel and the United States. Last week, WND reported Ayatollah Khamenei had called on the nations of Turkey, Lebanon, […]

Muslim leader wants Temple rebuilt

By Joel at World Net Daily: In a historically unprecedented development, a famous Turkish Muslim leader and a prominent group of Israeli rabbis have joined together on one of their declared goals, to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Adnan Oktar, who uses the pen name of Harun Yahya, is a controversial but highly influential […]

What Obama and the Antichrist have in common

By Joel Richardson World Net Daily: Few will argue that President Barack Obama fueled his campaign with a textbook populist message. By claiming to stand up for the poor and the vast middle class, while negatively targeting “the wealthiest top 1 percent,” he only ran the risk of offending that 1 percent of the population. […]

Obama: Foreshadowing of the Antichrist?

Massive wealth redistribution will be economic policy of the Beast World Net Daily: Under the guise of “fairness” and “equity,” Americans are getting their share of government-coerced wealth redistribution under the leadership of Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress, but it’s only a foreshadowing of what the whole world will witness under the rule of […]

Get ready for an Islamic Antichrist, warns new book

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Antichrist: Islam’s Awaited Messiah (the green book) is no longer in print. But it has been republished by World Net Daily as a hard cover in an updated form including two new appendixes as The Islamic Antichrist. WND: After decades of reading popular prophecy books and even best-selling […]

Israeli Rabbi Calls For Turkish Mediation For Middle East Peace

This news is slightly old (February 8 of this year), but while it featured prominently in Turkish newspapers, it has not been translated into English. But it is certainly important to take note of. Update 7/6/09 : I mistakenly stated that Rabbi Fromen is one of the leaders of the Sanhedrin. While very well respected […]
