2^nd update is on 27^th October 2001 AD

"then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation...   Dan 11:32a

"And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;  ..."   Dan 11:45a

After having removed the Al Aqsa mosque (daily sacrifices) on the Temple Mount (glorious holy mountain), he will then proceed to build the temple of God for the Antichrist (abomination of desolation) there in Jerusalem, the city between the 2 seas (Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea).

But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.      Isa 11:4

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:   II Th 2:8 (KJV)

The Period of the Beginning of Sorrows

"... So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery;"   Dan 11:30b-32a

Immediately after the Western nations attack Iraq, he will return to fight the Southern nations. With the help of the Muslim public he will overrun all these Arab nations. He will conquer Jerusalem (sanctuary fortress). This will be the start of the Period of the Beginning of Sorrows lasting about 4 years.

With deception he will convince the Muslim to remove the Al Aqsa mosque. He may tell them that God reveals to him that He wants to live among them and He has chosen the site where the Al Aqsa mosque is to build His Temple for He loves to dwell among His chosen people - the Muslims. He will then remove the Al Aqsa mosque (daily sacrifices - place of worship). In its place he will then build the Temple of God so that the antichrist will sit there proclaiming himself god (abomination of desolation standing in the holy place).

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   II Th 2:9-10

To deceive the Jews and Christians he will call the Jews back to build the Temple of God for the God of Abraham. With the middle East under his control, he will get all the various religions to worship only one God, the God of Abraham and to treat one another as brothers since they all worship the same God. Unknowingly, the Jews and Christians will worship Allah.

Note: Jehovah is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. To the Muslims, Allah is only the God of Abraham, and not the God of Isaac nor the God of Jacob. Thus, Allah is not Jehovah.

During this time when the Temple is being built there will be peace and security in the whole middle East and surrounding countries under his rule. Elsewhere the terrorist warfare will become extremely terrifying for weapons of mass destruction are used resulting in the killing by the millions. This period of the 4th Seal will see 1/4 of all mankind killed.

"... but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue."    Dan 11:32-34

This will be a period of the great persecution of godly Christians or saints. These saints who oppose him and expose him as the antichrist will be killed. Martyrdom of saints enables the preaching of the Gospel to all nations via TV network and this is in accordance to God's will. They will receive little help from misled, worldly and sleeping Christians, who will compromise the message of the Cross, for they want peace and security in the One World Religion.

"And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time."   Dan 11:35

The Great Tribulation

After the completion of the Temple the antichrist will sit there proclaiming himself god. This will bring in the 5th Seal or the period of the Great Tribulation, which will only be a few weeks. With signs and wonders and the testimonies of the false christs and false prophets, many sleeping Christians will accept him as the Messiah or Prince of peace. The godly Christians (those with understanding of the End time events but not having enough faith to walk it out) who reject and expose him will be betrayed by these misled Christians for judgment and death. This is the refining process of these godly Christians so that they will be purified and found worthy to be partaker in the Rapture.

"Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done."   Dan 11:36

Immediately after the completion of the Temple of God, the antichrist will allow the Jewish priesthood to dedicate it to God in accordance to the commandments of God. During the dedication the Temple will be filled with cloud and brightness so that the priests will have to run out for they can no longer minister there. This will be just as in the days of King Solomon. [Please read 1Kings 8:10-11; 2Chron 5:13-14; and also Rev 15:8]. The antichrist (not a member of the priesthood) will then walk into the holy Temple and when the cloud has clear the priests will find him standing in front of the throne of God. He will then proceed to sit on the throne of God proclaiming himself god. This will surprise the priests and immediately many of them will fall on their knees to worship him as the messiah or god. They will also proclaim him as the Prince of peace for then the only places with peace and security are those under his rule or control. He will blaspheme Jehovah. Many Christians including church leaders will be deceived and will also worship him.

Note: Christians are the Temple of God and thus when the Temple is dedicated to God, He will not be able to accept it. The Devil, knowing this, uses this wicked scheme to deceived the Jews and Christians.

"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation [Antichrist],'  spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place [Temple of God]" (whoever reads, let him understand),......For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."   Matt 24:15,21-24

The above scripture (Mark 13:14-22) shows that the moment the Antichrist is revealed in the Temple of God, this will be the beginning of the Great Tribulation. This will be a very testing time for Christians for many will be deceived by the great signs and wonders performed by the Antichrist and his servants.

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,....... Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day [Rapture] will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.     II Th 2:1,3-4

The Great Tribulation must be before the Rapture. However, the wrath of Satan will only begin after the Rapture, when the Devil will finally be cast down to earth to reincarnate into the dead body of the Antichrist to become the Beast (Rev 13).

The Religion of the Antichrist

"He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all."   Dan 11:37

This section describe the Islamic religion. His forefather's God is Jehovah (for they are also the descendants of Abraham). Jehovah is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob and not Allah - the God of Abraham only. This religion puts womenfolk in the background and they have no say in society. They are the ones to cause men to sin thus they must cover themselves completely with the abaya. (http://www.answering-islam.org/women/place.html#islam)

He will disregard the Lord God Jehovah and just like Lucifer, he wants to be worshipped as God.

"But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things."   Dan 11:38

In Mecca, the black stone known as the `Kaaba Stone', which was decorated with gold, silver and precious stones, looks exactly like a little fortress. When the believers bow down to this rock it is just like they are worshipping this fortress as their god.

"Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain."   Dan 11:39

To fulfill Scripture, God allows the following to happen. In the name of Allah a foreign god, they will go forth to conquer and he will be very successful. He will conquer many countries for Allah. The land will be divided to these Islamic warriors and they will become their governors and kings. He will have 10 kings to assist him (Dan 7:24, Rev 13:1)

The Great Heavenly Blackout and Rapture

....yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him."   Dan 11:45b

Immediately after the period of the Great Tribulation - an era of great deception, the great heavenly blackout will see our Lord Jesus coming in glory to gather His elect back to heaven. This event is called Rapture. Then, the antichrist will be destroyed (come to his end) by the brightness of our Lord's coming (not even the devil could help him from being killed by our Lord Jesus). All those Christians left behind will have to face the coming `wrath of Satan' for 3 1/2 years, when the mark of the beast and `666' will be introduced. { Note: Immediately after the Rapture, the Devil will be cast down to earth and he will use the dead body of the Antichrist to incarnate into the fearful `Beast' (Rev 13) to begin his 3 1/2 year wrath of Satan. }

The whole of this period from the attack of Iraq to the Rapture is known as the period of the 4th Seal

Please ensure that you are found worthy

to be with the Lord at the Rapture.
