There are many doctrines
prevalent in our Churches today, we are being bombarded by a vast array of
theologies for the end times and how Armageddon will take place. Unfortunately,
bookshelves are lined with books that are geared towards one focus– book sales
and sensationalism and thus hundreds of books have missed the mark. As a
result, many people depend on scholars with greater proficiency in deciphering
scriptures that are perhaps a little cryptic for the laymen have also been
misled.
With all due respect, in the
past many outlandish predictions have been made based on loosely associated
scripture and thus stretching the depths of human imagination, forcing the
jigsaw pieces to fit and those endeavouring to enlighten themselves end up
following the prevailing theory. It is human nature to follow the flock after
all there is safety in numbers…or is there? If we are all following the flock
on a theory flaunted by sensationalism and book sales then is it not possible
that we as individuals have missed the signs of the times around us. “Islam is
peace” is a phrase re-iterated in vain, as we see bombs exploding, planes
crashing and families being torn apart at a cataclysmic level in the name of
Islam. Take a look around…where is the peace in Islam?
The writers in the past were
writing in the dark because Islam lay as a dormant force, they did not see the
unveiled face of Islam we see today and so they could not comprehend how Islam
fits in with the end time’s prophecies. Israel was not born so the previous
writers could not demonstrate how prophesy is unfolding in a tangible manner but
they faithfully believed in future events clearly predicted in the Bible.
Islam is beginning to come
about amidst a clash of civilizations though the clash is not with the Western
world in general but because some Western countries stand by Israel i.e. USA and
promote a religion directly in opposition to Islam. Some European countries
give partial support to Israel so these nations are then perceived to be enemies
of Islam since Islam seeks to destroy Israel, the Jewish people and take over
the land of Israel. There is a principle in Islam that states that any land
that Islam ruled over in the past is now part of the House of Islam, Dar ul
Islam, so that the land may be taken back by force.
Three years ago when I met
Walid Shoebat, an Ex-Muslim convert from Bethlehem we started to discuss end
times prophesy. He was the one who enlightened me about real theology and
eschatology of the Bible. We decided to write this book together so we can show
the Christian and non-Christian world what is really brewing in the horizon
based on sound Biblical analysis. Walid was a Muslim Palestinian terrorist in
Israel who came to the Lord Jesus Christ when he read the Bible, realised the
prophetic truths of the scriptures, and came to know Jesus Christ as his
personal saviour and redeemer.
I am an Ex-Muslim Convert of
the dominant Sunni sect from Lahore, Pakistan. I came to know the Lord Jesus
Christ back in September 1998 after reading the testimony of an Egyptian convert
while browsing the internet one day. Later Walid and I both decided to create a
website on the internet,
http://www.abrahamic-faith.com, to propagate the truth to the world
about what is coming to pass. Our aim is not to spurn hatred or draw enemy
lines, far from it, our aim is to show all people the deception that they have
been lured into, whether they be Muslims who do not recognise the path of
self-destruction that they have chosen so that all may be touched by the light
of life and Christians who have not discerned the signs of the times. As
Ephesians 6:12 quite rightly states: ‘For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’ Our fight
is against the spiritual forces of Islam not flesh and blood, Walid being an
Arab and me being a Pakistani we can fight against what is in effect our own
flesh and our own blood and for this reason we strive to expose the fallacy of
fundamentalist Islam and the threat that it poses to the world. Our testimonies
can be found at the end of this book.
It is not prudent to base
ones theology on a few and loosely associated verses of scripture as this may
leave many holes and many stones unturned. One must eliminate theories in the
past that were given credence in this manner and indeed the present. So we
shall endeavour to present a theory that will concord throughout the Bible,
which can be tried and tested, backward and forward, throughout the Hebrew
Bible and the New Covenant writings.
Suffice it to say, the
climate is politically charged after the onslaught of September the 11th
and the wake of increasing Islamic terrorism but nevertheless, many will, even
now, disagree that this is not so; “Islam is peace” and that the perpetrators
are extremists and thus tarnishing the name of Islam unworthily. It is not for
man to adjudicate what is and is not a “true Muslim” as the source of the
controversy, the Qur’an and the Hadith (sayings of Muhammad), define the
obligations that a “true Muslim” ought to undertake and this will be discussed
at a later stage. In light of historical data and present day information, we
shall endeavour to prove that this theory has a sound Biblical foundation and
this is what is currently transpiring in our world today. Islam is and has
proven to be a force to be reckoned with.
Who would have thought that
out of the run down territory of the Afghan mountains and Saudi Arabia, ruthless
terrorists would be born, striking at the heart of American capitalism and
destroying two magnificent structures that once painted the New York Skyline and
killing 2752 (government estimate) innocent civilians. Even now, two years
after the incident, the perpetrators of this horrific attack, Osama Bin Laden
and all his cohorts have still not been bought to justice. Is it not intriguing
that a superpower such as the USA has been unable to apprehend the mastermind of
September 11? After all, they were unable to comprehend the enemy, Islam; Osama
Bin Laden is but one individual. These people are extremely resilient and
tenacious, even the West with all its advanced technological equipment is
helpless. The problem is that we are geared to think technology means
advancement but it is the human mind that invented the technology and thus
surpasses the technological age. If human life was held in regard, especially
their lives, then perhaps their countenance would not be as strong but dying in
the course of Allah is something to aspire to and this is the quality that makes
Islam particularly formidable.
