Trinity: Oneness in unity not in number: Yachid vs. Echad

"Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one [Echad]!" Deuteronomy 6:4

	Yachid vs. Echad The most important verse Jews memorized in the Bible was Deut 6:4: "Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one [Echad]!" There are a few words in Hebrew that the Holy Spirit could have used a word the has one exclusive meaning: the numeric, solitary oneness of God ("yachid" or "bad").
Instead the Holy Spirit chose to use the Hebrew word, "echad" which is used most often as a unified one, and sometimes as numeric oneness. For example, when God said in Genesis 2:24 "the two shall become one [echad] flesh" it is the same word for "one" that was used in Deut 6:4.
This is most troubling for Anti-Trinitarians since the word yachid, the main Hebrew word for solitary oneness, is never used in reference to God. Click here for a detailed look at this fascinating word study.

1. The debate over the implications of the various usage's of two Hebrew words [Yachid vs. Echad] translated "one" is as intriguing as it is complex.
2. The etymology of the Hebrew word yachid (one) is derived from echad in the same way that the English word "only" is derived from the word "one". That yachid is from the same root family of words as echad is seen from the similarity of spelling. So "yachid" is to "only", what "echad" is to "one".
3. About the only fact that all on both sides of the debate agree on, is that yachid indisputably means an absolute numeric one and is never used to describe God. Anti-Trinitarians would naturally expect such a word to be commonly used of God. Having said this, when we cross over to the Greek, in parallel passages that use "yachid", we find a correspondence with the Greek word "mono". We do find "mono" used of God in the New Testament describing his oneness. So while yachid is never used of God’s oneness in the Old Testament, the corresponding word "mono" is used of God’s oneness in the New Testament. But this is exactly what Trinitarians would expect to be the case because there are three persons in the one God.
4. Hebrew is a very simple language, but Greek is quite complex and specific. Some Trinitarians overemphasize the clear differences between "yachid and echad" in the Hebrew. Yes, "echad" is a unified one, but it is also used of a numeric one as well. Yes, "yachid" is never used in reference to God's oneness, but the word "bad" is used and it is synonymous with numeric oneness to yachid. When we cross over to the Greek, we find a similar blur in the words used of God that mean unified versus numeric oneness. If the Holy Spirit intended to convey Trinity hidden in the Old Testament in the words "yachid and echad", we would expect such a distinction to be even more pronounced in the Greek, since it is a more specific language than Hebrew. But we find exactly the same in the New Testament as we do in the old, namely a combination of words meaning unified versus numeric oneness being employed to describe God's oneness.
5. Having said all this, perhaps the Holy Spirit did want us to look back at the Old Testament and perceive the differences between "yachid and echad". Add to this plural pronouns like: "let US make man in OUR image" and Trinitarians have irrefutable evidence of the trinity in the Old Testament.
6. Trinitarians can be confident that such diversity of words like "yachid and echad" used to describe God's oneness is exactly what we would expect to find. Anti-Trinitarians and Unitarians are nervous about the fact that the most direct and important statements in the Old Testament about God's oneness (Deut 6:4) use the unified one [echad] instead of a words that always mean numeric oneness like "yachid" and "bad".
7. Perhaps one of the strongest arguments the Trinitarian can use in the discussion of the words "echad" and "yachid" is the fact that Jews shortly after the rise of Christianity removed "echad" from Deut 6:4 and added in its place the word "yachid".
8. Jesus quoted Deut 6:4 in Mk 12:29 and chose the "unified oneness" word "hen" which is the same word used by Jesus in Mt 19:5, "the two shall become one (hen) flesh. It is significant that Jesus did not use "mono" in Mk 12:29. The word "hen" directly corresponds to "echad" which was used in Deut 6:4. Both texts used "unified oneness" words rather than absolute numeric oneness to the exclusion of all others.

ECHAD	UNIFIED ONE	HEN
Gen 2:24	two become one Man + Woman	Matt 19:5
Deut 6:4	God is one Father + Son + Spirit	Mk 12:29
	ONE

1. Anti-Trinitarian who say the use of echad is insignificant in the Old Testament must be reminded that shortly after the rise of Christianity, the Jews replaced "echad" with "yachid" in Deut 6:4.
2. If the use of "echad" instead of "yachid" in Deut 6:4 gave no help to the early Christians in proving to the Jews that Yahweh of the Old Testament was a multi-personal God, then Jews would not have felt compelled to change the word. If it is really that insignificant, then they would have told us the argument Christians were using to prove trinity is invalid to native Hebrews who know and speak the language. But instead, the Jews responded by changing the word in Deut 6:4 from the unified oneness (echad) to the numeric oneness (yachid).
3. The Talmud was written either by Judah the Prince (135-219 A.D.) or as late as the 9th century A.D. The important point, is that the Talmud did not exist before about 200 AD, long after Christian theology had made its impact.
4. A man named Moses Maimonides who lived in the 12th century AD, was Jewish Rabbi and philosopher who compiled a creed with 13 articles. In this creed, the word yachid is used, instead of echad: "I believe with a perfect faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, is an absolute one [yachid]".
5. Modern Jewish prayer books use the word "yachid" to describe God.
6. It must be most troubling for Jews that their word of choice (yachid) to describe God's oneness is never actually used in the Bible. They should give up their 2000 year old rebellious temper tantrum and become Christians! Then they could use Bible words to describe the one true God!

Word	Definition/texts	usage
Echad OT	unified one: Gen. 2:24; Deut. 6:4 absolute numeric one: Ezekiel 33:24	Used of God’s oneness
Yachid OT	Always absolute numeric one: Judges 11:34	Never used of God’s oneness
Bad OT	Absolute numeric one: Isaiah 37:20	Used of God’s oneness
Hen NT	Unified one: John 10:30; Matthew 19:5; Mk 12:29 absolute numeric one: Galatians 3:20	Used of God’s oneness
Monos NT	absolute numeric one: Matthew 24:36; 1 Timothy 1:17	Used of God’s oneness

Here are a number of Old Testament passages that are either directly quoted in the New Testament, or contain parallel thoughts.

Unified one	Echad Old Testament	Hen New Testament
Two shall become one flesh	Gen 2:24	Mt 19:5
God is one	Deut 6:4	Mk 12:29,32; Jn 10:30; 1 Cor 8:4; Eph 4:6
one people	Gen 11:6; 34:16, 22	John 11:52; Gal 3:28
one heart	2 Chron 30:12; Jer 32:39	Acts 4:32; Phil 1:27; 2:2
Two objects becoming one	sticks: Ezek. 37:17	flocks: Jn 10:16
assembly as one	Ezra. 2:64	Romans 12:5, 15:6; 1 Cor 12:5,12

Echad is used to designate a single individual or thing, numerical oneness. In these texts we consider Echad to be synonymous with yachid. Yet we find the parallel passages of thought in the New Testament are translated from two different Greek words: "hen" and "monos". Like "echad", "hen" is used in two different ways: unified one and numeric one. "Monos", however, always means a numeric one. This means we do not find a consistent pattern between the Hebrew and Greek languages.

21. "For certain persons deny our only [monos] Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." Jude 4

1. When speaking of God’s oneness, what we see is a mix of words, both in the Hebrew and the Greek. There does not appear to be a clear pattern of usage: In the Old Testament, "echad" is used both as a unified one and numeric oneness and "bad" is also used which means a numeric oneness. Similarly, in the New Testament, "hen" is used both as a unified one and numeric oneness and "monos" is also used which means a numeric oneness.
2. These facts delight Trinitarians and send Anti-Trinitarians and Unitarians alike scurrying for the shadows. While Trinitarians would expect both kinds of words to be used in reference to God, Anti-Trinitarian are left with their mouths hanging open in bewilderment. To make matters even worse, the word "monos" is not only used of God’s oneness (John 5:44; 17:3), but also Jesus is said to be the "monos Master", "monos Lord" and "monos Sovereign" (1 Timothy 6:16; Jude 4). This proves that Jn 17:3 no more excludes Jesus from being "true God" than 1 Timothy 6:16 and Jude 4 exclude the Father from being Master, Lord and Sovereign. (The official interpretation of 1 Timothy 6:16 the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower is that 1 Timothy 6:16 is speaking solely of Christ.)

Anti-Trinitarians who reject the fact that "echad" means a unified one between individuals, should always remember that shortly after the rise of Christianity, the Jews replaced "echad" with "yachid" in Deut 6:4. Obviously these Jews who knew the Hebrew language 2000 years ago, saw something modern Unitarians do not.

1. So in the end it is a win-win for Trinitarians! It is most devastating to Jews and Anti-Trinitarians that Deut 6:4 uses "echad", the word for a unified one between individuals. This laid the ground work for the Trinity to be revealed in Christ and his apostles who could look back to the most important Jewish Bible verse and show them Jesus was there too! Instead of converting to Christianity, the Jews twisted the word of God and started telling lies about the resurrection of Jesus.

Part#4  Gog

Gog (Gaga)( Ezekiel 38-39

We Must understand that Gog is someone not a Place. Please note that it is Gog, “the chief prince,” who will invade the land of Israel, and that Magog is simply a “land” or of people whose soldiers will be one of the many armies under the direct command and leadership of Gog. In fact, it is also said in this scriptural passage that Gog will be “the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” Therefore, we must be intellectually honest and distinguish the difference between Gog, a person, and Magog, a geographical land under the rulership of Gog: as well as in the Spiritual- Gog “an Eternal Being” –Magog its Origin.

Gog occurs as the name of the mysterious figure in Eze.38-39. It is a derivation From

Sumerian Gug “Gug”Which means shining “which is also used of angels

Job 38:7 (KJV)  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God

shouted for joy?  ko-kawb'; probably from             the same as Hebrew 3522 (Kabbown) (in

the sense of rolling) or Hebrew 3554 (kavah) (in the sense of blazing); a star (as round

or as shining); figurative a prince :- star ([-gazer]).

Sumerian Gug “Gug” IS the deity Gaga “Gaga” who is the vizier of Assur. “Assur” Which was the Assyrians father of the gods. “Whom we would call Satan”. Viezer means the Muslims head of state or ruler. When you put this together it reads “ Gog  is the Muslims ruler for Satan”. We can as well find the answer who Gog is in Amos 7:1

First we will look at the traditional reading of Amos 7:1 which reads as follows:

Amos 7:1 (KJV)   Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. Our English Bibles take there translation from the Masoretic text, a 9th century source. If we go back to an earlier translation of the Old Testament into Greek, known as the Septuagint, It gives us a different rending of                 Amos 7:1:"Thus the Lord showed me, and behold a swarm of locusts were coming, and behold, one of the young devastating locusts was Gog, the King." Amos 7:1 (LXX)
The identification of Gog as the king of the locusts would have profound implications upon our understanding of Eze.38-39 we can read in Proverbs 30:27 (KJV)   The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;  So this is telling us that the "locusts" of Amos 7 are not intended to be natural locusts, but an idiom for something else. We can find the answer in Revelation chapter 9 The locusts there are described as having a king or a Prince over them , which is clearly demonic in nature.        

Rev. 9:3-11 (KJV)  And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

[6] And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. [7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. [8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

 [10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Gog is the Principality Apollyon who will Posses the Man Antichrist the Islamic Al Mahadi  who then will become the Beast of Rev. 13 coming out of the sea or Abyss and out of the Abyss in  Rev.9:3-11 as Apollyon .                                                                                                             Apollyon name in Hebrew is Abaddon                                                                                                     Abaddon is a Hebrew word signifying:

• ruin, destruction (Job 31:12);
• place of destruction; the Abyss, realm of the dead (Job 26:6; Proverbs 15:11); it occurs personified (Revelation 9:11) as Abaddon and is rendered in Greek by Apollyon, denoting the angel-prince of hell, the minister of death and author of havoc on earth. The Vulgate renders the Greek Apollyon by the Latin Exterminans (that is, "Destroyer"). The identity of Abaddon .

Apollo was the giver and the interpreter of laws. We can read that the beast will try to accomplish this in Daniel 7:25 (KJV)  And he shall speak great Words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Apollo was an orical speaking god or fallen prince. His sanctuary in Delphi became the most influential political and religious center of the world. He was also in control of the wars of the Grecians. The Greek term arche and its equivalent Lat translation principium, carries the basic meaning of primacy in time or rank. It is an abstract term for power and often used with the meaning of “sphere or authority’. This is power that is wielded by someone in a position of political, social or economic authority. Which will be the case with the beast or the prince that controls the antichrist “a man” . Arche can be used as a supernatural power ;good or evil which has control over Mortal human beings such as the antichrist.

Rev. 13:2 (KJV)  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.

The Beast Has a Face of  A Leopard meaning his head is the Leopard or the Grecian Empire and the Prince of the Grecian Empire. The Prince of Greece is Apollo or Apollyon.

Alexander the Great (Mortal man) is known in history as "The Son of Zeus ”same as- Apollo (immortal Spirit )

This proves 3  things

1^st. That Gog (Gaga) is the Beast of Rev. 13 and 17. 

2^nd.That he is a Human Muslims leader

3^rd.  That he is the Prince Apollyon.

Which we will see as well in “part 2”    - Magog

The Gog of the Future in Eze.38-39 must be a supernatural being in Ezekiel 38 who deceives the Nations at Armageddon and the final battle at the end of the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ  when God looses Satan and his Angels to tempt man. Rev. 20:8

After the great flood, Noah and his three sons repopulated the entire earth. Ham, Shem and Japheth. . In Genesis, chapter 10, the Bible list the 70 original tribal groups, this is often referred to by Biblical scholars, as The Table of Nations.

To properly understand Ezekiel 38 and 39, we need to identify Gog, Magog and it's allies. The Bible, is always the best source to understanding and prophecy. So it's from this Table of Nations that we first begin to learn the identity of Gog and Magog. Magog was one of the sons of Japheth. "The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras." Genesis 10:2

The Islamic Jihad   

Part#5  Magog

Josephus (who lived A.D. 37-96 and wrote a history covering the period from Adam to his own death in A.D. 96) he clearly identifies Magog: "Magog founded the Magogians, thus named after him, but who were by the Greeks called Scythians." and they settled around the Black Sea. He said also that the sons of Japheth settled in the Taurus

mountains of Asia Minor, and then spread to many other lands.

He said furthermore that from Gomer came the Galatians; from Madai came the Medes; from Javan came the Greeks; from Tubal and Meshech came the ancient Iberians and Cappadocians of Asia Minor, or modern Turkey; and from Tiras came the Thracians. It was from these ancient peoples that all of Asia and Europe were inhabited, not Russia alone Another reliable source comes from Herodotus, known as the "Father of History." Herodotus writes of the bizarre and savage practices of the descendents of Magog known as the Scythians. They drank the blood of the first enemy they killed; they carried the heads of the victims to their chiefs; they scalped their enemies and used the scalps as "napkins"; they used the skins of their victims to cover their quivers; they drank from the skulls of their victims; they practiced blood brotherhood by drinking each other's blood mixed with wine.  The Scythians. "bathed" in the vapor from heated hemp seeds. When their king died, they sacrificed one of his concubines and several servants. After a year, they commemorated his death by sacrificing fifty servants and fifty horses..  We know that the descendants of Magog by their Greek name, Scythians.. The name Scythian covers a number of nomadic tribes from the Russian steppes, a fertile area of the Ukraine north of the Black Sea. Other related tribes occupied the area to the east of the Caspian Sea. The area encompassed by the Scythians extended from the mid-Volga to the northern Urals and beyond. They colonized Media, Parthia, Persia, Central Asia and as far as the Chinese border.  Arab writers confirm that in the Arabic language their name for the Great Wall of China is called "the wall of Al Magog" because the Great Wall was built to keep out the invading armies from Magog. All together an area of about 2,000 square miles. So clearly this was the former Soviet Union, modern day Russia. 

So, who then is Gog.? Gog is obviously the leader of Magog,  he is the "Prince of Meshech and Tubal."

The Oracle of Apollo, Didyma, Turkey Hidden among rolling hills only a few miles from the scenic coast of southeastern Turkey, the ancient site of Didyma is famous from legendary times. Here was a natural spring where the beautiful Leto is supposed to have spent an hour of love with Zeus, then giving birth to the twins Artemis and Apollo (didymoi in Greek). The most important oracle site in Asia Minor, its pronouncements to Croesus, Alexander the Great and other great kings altered the course of human history.

a.Where is MaGog

Ezekiel 38:1-7 gives 10 names as participants in the invasion of Israel that will follow the re-gathering of the Jews to their homeland.  First mentioned, is the land of Magog. The most common identity for Magog is in Central Asia. The Jewish historian Josephus said, "Magog founded the Magogians, called Scythians by the Greeks. Scythians were a nomadic tribe who inhabited the ancient territory from Central Asia across the southern part of ancient Russia." Today this area is inhabited by the former Soviet Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and possibly northern parts of Afghanistan. All of these nations that make up the land of Magog have one thing in common - Islam. Militant Islam has been on the rise in these countries since the fall of the Soviet Union, when Islam no longer had to be practiced secretly. Radical Islamic groups such as the Islamic Renaissance Party, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islam are working to reunite central Asian nations and ultimately the entire Muslim world. 

Ezekiel's prophecy and Russia's changing demographics. The prophet Ezekiel predicted almost 2,600 years ago that Gog would lead an end time invasion of Israel. The allies of Gog in this invasion are ancient places that today are Central Asia (Magog), Iran (Persia), Libya (Put), Turkey (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah), and Sudan (Cush.

We will look at Rosh some  versions of the Bible translate 'rosh' as an adjective. The argument here is that in the Massoretic text the words 'chief prince' carry the accents Tiphha and Zaqeph-gadol. The Tiphha appears under the resh of the Hebrew word 'rosh'; the Zaqeph-gadol appears on top of the sin of the Hebrew word 'nish'. The Tiphha to the right, underneath the initial consonant of the world 'rosh', or chief, is prepositive and does not mark the tone syllable. The world 'nish' or prince has the accent Zaqeph-gadol which is disjunctive and indicates a pause.

So, verse three would read:  "Behold, I am against thee, o Gog, the prince, {pause} chief of Meshech and Tubal"      Rather than:    "Behold, I am against thee, o Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal."

Here 'rosh' is translated head or chief as it is 423 other times in the Old Testament. In short, if you believe 'rosh' should be translated as a proper noun you may find the interpretation that Russia will be a part of this coalition more reasonable. If you believe 'rosh' should be an adjective here, you need only concern yourself with who Meshech and Tubal in this paticular scripture . I tend to have a problem with the "it sounds like Russia" theory, and find the translation of rosh as an adjective more believable, but to each his own.I do believe Russia will be involved because the land of Magog  consist of much of Russia if not all and Part of Tubal.

Meshech and Tubal in verses 2 and 6, were the names of the 6th and 5th sons of Japheth, the son of Noah (Genesis 10:2). Ezekiel 27:13 also mentions Meshech and Tubal as trading partners with Tyre (Modern Lebanon). It's likely that Meshech and Tubal refer to the ancient Moshi/Mushki and Tubalu/Tibareni who dwelled in the area around, primarily south of, the Black and Caspian Sea in Ezekiel's day. Today these nations would be in the modern country of Turkey, parts of Southern Russia and Northern Iran.  All areas with a Muslim majority.

Verse 6 adds Gomer and Beth-Togarmah to the coalition. "Gomer" was the first son of Japheth. The Gomerites were the ancient Cimmerians, expelled in 700 BC from the southern steppes of Russia into what is today Turkey. "Togarmah" is the 3rd son of Gomer and beth at the beginning of the name is the Hebrew word for 'house' or 'place of'. In Ezekiel's time there was a city in Cappodocia (Modern Turkey) known as Tegarma, Tagarma, Til-garimmu, and Takarama. 

The possibility that four of the names mentioned in Ezekiel are now in Turkey makes a pretty strong argument for Turkey being a part of the invasion of Israel. Current circumstances in that country also lend this view some credibility.  Since the break-up of the Soviet Union, Turkey has been gaining inroads into Central Asia (Magog). It is also linked to Central Asia both ethnically and linguistically, and has a growing number of political parties that support opposition to Israel, establishment of a Turkish Islamic Republic, and the worldwide rule of Islam.

Verse 5 brings three more names into the mix. God tells us that "Persia, Cush and Put will be with them". 

Persia is a pretty easy one. In 539 BC the Persians conquered the city of Babylon. You only need look at a map of the ancient Persian Empire to see that it was centered in the nation known today as Iran. In fact Iran was called Persia until 1935 when it was changed to Iran and then to the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution.  It's no secret that Iran is an archenemy of Israel and the West, and a supporter of the Palestinians. They are actively working to get other Arab countries to change camps in their cooperation with the U.S. and Israel.

The ancient kingdom of Cush in Ezekiel's time was the land just south of Egypt on the Nile River. Today this land is occupied by Sudan. Sudan is home to the National Islamic Front, is ruled by an Islamic military dictatorship, a strong supporter of Iraq, home to Osama bin Laden from 1991-1996, and harbors countless Islamic terrorist groups. Sudan would easily fit into the coalition as it is already close allies with Iran, trading military supplies for docking rights on the Red Sea shipping routes.

Ancient Put was the land just west of Egypt, or what is today Libya.  Libya is another sponsor of terrorism, and openly refuses to recognize Israel's right to even exist. When the coalition against Israel is formed, Libya won't have to be asked twice to join.

Verse 6 adds "and many people with you." The nations listed specifically are all somewhat distant from Israel. By adding "and many people with you", God is indicating that many nations and the Kingdoms of the East will join with Gog/Beast.

Rev. 16:12-14 (KJV)      And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Other nations that might join the alliance are Iraq, Syria, Jordon, and Egypt. All of them are Islamic nations, and all of them would not hesitate to support the destruction of Israel were the opportunity to join such a vast coalition presented to them.

      b.    What is MaGog

Magog is Gogs Origion.

Gog is the Fallen Prince Apollyon. / This is not speaking of the Origin of the Human antichrist for he comes from the old Syrian Empire.

MaGog is the Land that he originated from .This is the Land that was given to him by Satan to rule even before Adam.”see the world that then was”

This land along with Meshech and Tubal is where he was first worshipped as a diety under a different name Appaliunas.  .

      c.         When will Gogs armies attack Israel

There are many facts that prove that Gog of  Ezek. 38-Ezek 39  (who is the "little horn" of

Dan.7:7-8,23-24;Dan 8:7-8,20-23, "the beast" of  Rev. 13- Rev 17)and the Al Mahadi of the Koron  does not originate in Russia, but becomes the leader of Russia and all the Kingdoms in the north and east by conquest. He conquers the Kingdoms north and east of the Roman Empire territory, but originates from Syria (Dan. 11:36-45). Therefore, he becomes the scourge of Russia and not her hero and chief son.

  At least 13 predictions in Ezekiel identify these chapters as being fulfilled at Armageddon at the second advent, and not at the time of some hypothetical war between Israel and Russia or anyone else happening before the tribulation and the second advent.

The predictions include:

1.     Both Israel and many other nations getting to know Eloheem “GOD” from the time of this battle onward (Ezek 38:16; Ezek 39:6-7,21-25,27);This would be the fulfillment of Daniels 70 weeks (Dan 9-24-27)and the end of Israels Tribulation.This would also be the fulfillment of All Israel being saved or redeemed in (Zech. 12:10-13:1; Romans 11:25-29) (Hosea 6:2). Zech. 3:9)

2.      No more pollution of Eloheem “GOD”'s name (Ezek 39:7);

3.     Eloheem “GOD” glorified by all nations (Ezek 39:13,21);

4.      Israel saved from Gentile domination forever (Ezek 39:26-29);same as Luke 21:24 (KJV)  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ”Times of the Gentiles rule is over/Times of the Gentiles fulfilled

5.     Israel completely regathered from all nations (Ezek 39:28);same as(Deut. 30:4; Isaiah 11:11-12)  Matthew 24:31 (KJV)  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

6.     The Holy Spirit poured out upon Israel (Ezek 39:29); For the fulfillment of Joel2:28

7.     Israel never again to be afraid of other nations (Ezek 39:26);

8.     Eloheem “GOD” never again to hide His face from Israel (Ezek 39:29);

9.     Eloheem “GOD”'s name to be sanctified among the heathen (Ezek 39:7);

10.       Men to see Eloheem “GOD” bodily and in person (Ezek 38:18-22; Ezek 39:1-6,17-24);

11.       All the heathen to know Eloheem “GOD” from this time forward into all eternity (Ezek 39:23;  Rev. 21-Rev 22).

12.      Gog and his armies of  Ezek. 38-  Ezek 39 falling upon the open field to make a great supper for the birds and beasts is exactly the same as in Rev. 14:12-20;Rev 19:11-21; Mt. 24:28,37-42;  Lk. 17:34-37 which pictures the battle of Armageddon (Ezek. 38:3-5; Ezek 39:4,17-25).

13.  Eloheem “GOD” predicts that the armies of Gog in Ezek. 38:20-22;  Ezek 39:6 would become so confused then they would destroy one another. The same is stated of the armies of the Antichrist at Armageddon (Zech. 14:4,10).

d.    Why the war with Gog From the Land of MaGog  

   1. From the Mortal view- Again, it's instructive to view the common motivator as religion, not race. Some years ago, an editorial in the Jerusalem Post outlined the "Arab" plan as being composed of two phases. Phase one was to gain as much as possible through the inexpensive negotiating process while simultaneously weakening Israel and strengthening the Moslem coalition. Phase two, after no more negotiated gain can be made, is to go to war for the rest

   2. From the Supernatural View - But the real reason is for Satan and his Fallen Angels to try to become victorious over Gods creation “Man”.

Satan and his Angels will have already been thrown out of Heaven and there  battle for Heaven will be over .So this will not be the reason for the Battle but rather that they seek to destroy Gods plan for Man and keep from being thrown in the Lake of fire.

Its all about Legal Authority.

Part#6   Apollyon Apolluwn

Apollo is a Greek god whose name occurs as a theophoric element in the names Apollwv

(Acts 18:24,var. lect.: Apellhv , Apollwniov { of which Apollo is a dimimutive]; 19:1,var. lect.: Apellhv 1Cor.1:12,3:4-6 ; 16:12 and Titus 3:13, Apellhv ( Rom.16:10 ).Apollwnia (Acts 17:1.var.lect.’ Apollwniv Apolluwn , Rev. 9:11).

1.      Apollo's origins (perhaps Magog) aren’t 100% certain ; his name yields no convincing

Greek etymology, although he became the most thoroughly Greek of all gods...Apollo was considerd an intruder ,it was excepted that Apollo was of non Greek

origin.The attempts to locate his origion havent been 100% conclussive but most agree he probably came from the North-East of Eroupe or Asia minor (Guthrie 1950:70-87), The once Hitite god Apulunas is believed to be Apollo. It appears that both  Greek and Etruscan Apollo came to the Aegean during the Archaic Period (i.e. from c.1,100 BCE to c.800 BCE) from Anatolia. Homer pictures him on the side of the Trojans, against the Achaeans, during the Trojan War and he has close affiliations with a Luwian deity, Apaliuna, who in turn seems to have traveled west from further east. The Late Bronze Age (from 1,700 BCE - 1,200 BCE) Hittite and Hurrian Aplu,^{[citation needed]} like the Homeric Apollo, was a god of plagues, and resembles the mouse god Apollo Smintheus In Jewish traditions

In terms of extra-biblical Jewish tradition, Gog the "prince" has been explained being one of the 70 national angels – of whom all except one, Michael, the guardian angel of Israel , are fallen angels.^{[citation needed]} According to this interpretation, Gog is the angel of a nation called Magog (literally meaning "of Gog" or "from Gog"). Gog in this view represents an apocalyptic coalition of nations arrayed against Israel. Some Biblical scholars believe that Gyges (Greek Γυγες), king of Lydia (687 BC-652 BC), is meant; in Assyrian letters, Gyges appears as Gu-gu; in which case Magog might be his territory in Anatolia.^{[citation needed]}

Apollo is the Hittite god Appaliunas.

The non-Greek source of Apollo's name had been quite uncertain until the attestation in a Luwian context of Appaliunas. Though Pokorny's IE etymological dictionary (1959) lists one possible IE source for Apollo (IE apelo-, "strength"). IE apelo- cannot be made to correspond with Greek Apóllo:n by any normal rules of conversion known to me; therefore, most investigators had come to the conclusion that the Greek god's name must be borrowed from another language.

No more than a brief look at this bronze Phoebus (Greek Phoîbos) at the right, another name for Apollo which simply means "gleaming (one)", will convince many that we are dealing with a lineal descendant
of Appaliunas, who I believe to be represented to the left above. And this archaic Phoebus Apollo even bears the Apollonian epithet, with which we have become familiar: argurótoxos, "(he) of the silver bow", which, by itself in an isolated context, would strongly suggest an identification with the lunar crescent(s).

APOLLON (or Apollo) was the great Olympian god of prophecy and oracles, healing, plague and disease, music, song and poetry, archery, and the protection of the young. He was depicted as a handsome, beardless youth with long hair and various attributes including: a wreath and branch of laurel; bow and quiver; raven; and lyre.

In the epic literature and at Delos and Delphi the gods name is always spelled Apollon. In the Doric dialect we find Apellon and on Cyprus Apeilon, in Thessaly Aploun. At the beginning of the present era the form Apollon had most completely superseded the Doric form of Apellon.

Apollyon is no doubt the correct reading. But the name Apollo (Gk Apollon) was often linked in ancient Greek writings with the verb apollymi or apollyo, "destroy." From this time of Grotius, "Apollyon" has often been taken here to be a play on the name Apollo. The locust was an emblem of this god, who poisoned his victims, and the name "Apollyon" may be used allusively in Revelation to attack the pagan god and so indirectly the Roman emperor Domitian, who liked to be regarded as Apollo incarnate. A remarkable feature of his cult was his characteristic, though not only, way of giving oracles, especially at Delphi, to possess the priestess and speak through her mouth in a way reminiscent of Siberian shamanism. “This is the way he will be with the Human antichrist”

2.      Apollo was considered the author of evil as well as the god of law and order .He was also the god of prophecy and the frightning god who brings pestilence.

The attributes of Apollo are the bow and quiver, In Rev.6 we have the 4 riders of the Apocalypse .We need to look at the white horse ridder who will be the antichrist or the beast .

Rev. 6:2-8 (KJV)   And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Now when we read Rev.13 we can see the reason for his descriptio from his Origin.

Rev. 13:2 (KJV)  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.

When we look at the Origins of Apollo/Apollyon we see the reason for the

1.      Face of the Leapord Apollo Grecian deity

2.      Feet of the Bear  Nergal a Persian deity

3.      Mouth of a Lion Nergal also a Babylonian deity

It appears that both Greek and Etruscan Apollos came to the Aegean during the Archaic Period (from 1100 BC till 800 BC) from Anatolia. Homer pictures him on the side of the Trojans, not the Achaeans, in the Trojan War and he has close affiliations with Luwian Apaliuna, who in turn seems to have traveled west from further east. Late Bronze Age (from 1700 BC - 1200 BC) Hittite and Hurrian "Aplu", like Homeric Apollo, was a God of the Plague, and resembles the mouse god Apollo SmintheusHurrian Aplu itself seems to be derived from the Babylonian "Aplu" meaning a "son of"—a title that was given to the Babylonian and Persian plague god, Nergal (son of Enlil.The10 kings will be  possessed and ruled by the demons under the authority of the Fallen prince of the Roman Empire. This will be in fulfillment of  Dan.2:31-45 and Dan 7. This Empire of the 10 kings will be defeated by the beast at this time which will be in the middle of the tribulation Apollon’s demons will posess the antichrist which is a mortal man and the result will be the symbol of the beast coming out of the sea Rev.13 with a face of a leapord.

The defeat of the revised Roman empire and the rise of the Grecian will be the fatal wound  that will be healed by the coming of the 8^th. Kingdom of Apollon or the beast.

This mortal man will be rulled(possessed )  by the fallen prince of the Greacian Empire in fulfillment of Dan.8.  The beast will not be ruled by the prince of the Roman Empire becase it tells us in Rev. 17:11 (KJV)   And the beast that was, ( Was on earth befor Johns days “the Grecian prince.” One of the seven which will have to be of the first five kingdoms.)and is not,

(is not during Johns days of the Roman Empire or is not the prince of the Roman Empire. )even he is the eighth, (This will be the last kingdom the mingled kingdom of the feet of part iron and part clay Dan.2:33 ) and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. This means that since he is not on earth during the 6^th. And is not the seventh then he has to be of the first five. Since he has the face of a leapord and comes out of the Grecian Empire Territory he will be the fallen Angel who ruled that kingdom which was Apollon.

Apollo was the giver and the interpreter of laws. We can read that the beast will try to accomplish this in Daniel 7:25 (KJV)  And he shall speak great Words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Apollo was an orical speaking god or fallen prince.His sanctuary in Delphi became the most influential political and religious center of the world. He was also in control of the wars of the Grecians. The Greek term arche and its equivalent Lat translation principium, carries the basic meaning of primacy in time or rank. It is an abstract term for power and often used with the meaning of “sphere or authority’.This is power that is wielded by someone in a position of political, social or economic authority.Which will be the case with the beast or the prince that controls the antichrist “a man” . Arche can be used as a supernatural power ;good or evil which has control over Mortal human beings such as the antichrist.

Ezekiel 38:17 (KJV)  Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

Rev. 6:2 (KJV) 

    And I saw, and (1)behold a white horse: and he that sat on him (2)had a bow; and a (3)crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

This rider and horse, bright and shining, victorious, crowned with the laurel of the victor rides out confidently "to conquer". The Greek word used for "conquer" is NIKAO - this is about lordship. It means "to subdue, overcome, prevail, get the victory". It is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew BAAL, Lord!

1.      Apollo Atepomarus ("the great horseman"").

2.      Apollo's most common attributes were the bow and arrow

As a god of archery, Apollo was known as Aphetoros ("god of the bow") and Argurotoxos ("with the silver bow").He is the Archer-god, master of the silver bow, Apollo the Far-Shooter, who can rain down death with his deadly arrows

3.      Apollo is usually shown as a manly, beardless youth of great beauty, his head crowned with laurel leaves

To understand this we must look at the horn of Islam.

Hubal and Allah the Moon God?

1.     Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC.

2.      In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.

3.      This Hubal was a moon god.

4.      One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of every mosque throughout the world:

About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin Lahyo ... a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, had put an idol called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba. This was one of the chief deities of the Quraish before Islam.(Muhammad –the holy prophet ) Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19, Muslim)

5.      The moon god was also referred to as "al-ilah". This is not a proper name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning "the god". Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local tribal pagan god as "al-ilah".

6.      "al-ilah" was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting his new religion in 610 AD.

7.      There is evidence that Hubal was referred to as "Allah".

8.      When Muhammad came along, he dropped all references to the name "Hubal" but retained the generic "Allah".

9.      Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms.

10.  Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god.

11.  Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in paganism.

Now we can begin to connect the moon and beast together.

First we must understand that from culture to culture the deities names change but it is still the same deity.

Apparently, at a very early date, a connection was made among the menstrual cycles of women, human fertility, and the moon.

This had, as a consequence, a regular association of the moon and human reproduction in all its aspects. The Egyptian god Min (*mjn) is frequently portrayed as ithyphallic; and his name should be related to IE me:n, "moon".

The familiar moon-goddess of Greece is Selene (S/Helé:ne:) is transparently simply "moon". For the archetypical moon-god, the figure of Silenus (S(e)ile:nós), which I would trace to IE 2. swel- as well ( cf. Greek heíle:/héle:, "warmth of the sun, sunlight").

Silenus is a satyr, a species "fond of wine and women" (Seyffert 1995, p. 559) and "very indecorous" (Seyffert 1995, p. 560), which finds a modern echo in our medical term satyriasis. A connection that should be noticed is Seyffert's (and Perry's: Greek and Roman Sculpture) interpretation "of external marks of his lower nature . . . the pointed ears and arrangement of the hair over the forehead, which is a reminiscence of the budding horns of the goat".

One interesting thing that hares, goats, {“a symbol of Greece and the BeastDan.8” and lions have in common is the slit-iris, which was associated with the crescent quarters of the lunar cycle.

Apollo Greek argurotoxos (he) of the silver bow “ is the sanitized version of this ancient god of male potency; whose name, Apóllo:n, is easily derivable from the attested Luwian Appa-liuna-s, which Is interpreted as "father lion".

Apollo

The acknowledged moon-goddess of Greece is Selene (S/Helé:ne:), which means simply "moon". Her earliest male counterpart will have been Silenus (S(e)ile:nós), who is a satyr and "very indecorous" (Seyffert 1995, p. 560), which is a quaint 19th Century way of expressing that, like Min, he was often ithyphallically portrayed. We have attempted to demonstrate by illustrations that the celestial body associated with animal procreation, which would have a direct connection with turgid portrayals, is the moon.

Apollo A connection between Apollo and Silenus is, at least literarily, present. In the myth of Hermes' theft of the cattle (these are also lunar avatars) of Apollo in the version supplied in a lost satyr-play by Sophocles (Ichneutai or The Trackers)⁽¹⁾, of all the different personages Apollo might have called on for assistance, he calls on Silenus and his satyrs. Who should be more concerned about the theft of the moon's cattle than another avatar of the moon, Silenus, the alter ego of Apollo?

So Apollyon is connected to the beast of the field.

Rev. 6:12 (KJV)  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the (15)sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the

(16) moon became as blood;

15.  Apollo, like other Greek deities, had a number of epithets applied to him, reflecting the variety of roles, duties, and aspects ascribed to the god. However, while Apollo has a great number of appellations in Greek myth, only a few occur in Latin literature, chief among them Phoebus ("shining one"),The god of the sun.(God YHWH is cursing one of his epithets the sun.)

16.  The crescent moon which is the ancient Arabian moon-god "Sin"Greek Silenus now worshipped under the name "allah".(God YHWH is cursing one of the epithets the moon.)“see pt.14”

Rev. 13:3 (KJV) 

    And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and (17) his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.]

17.  In Apollo's role as healer, his appellations included Akesios and Iatros, meaning "healer". Apollo Cunomaglus ('hound lord'). A title given to Apollo at a shrine in Wiltshire. Apollo Cunomaglus may have been a god of healing.

Rev. 9:7 (KJV) 

    And the (18)shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

18.  Apollyon/Apollo  -  Romans as Averruncus  As a plague god of rats and locusts,

We can as well find the answer of the god of the locust in is in Amos 7:1

First we will look at the traditional reading of Amos 7:1 which reads as follows:

Amos 7:1 (KJV)   Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. Our English Bibles take there translation from the Masoretic text, a 9th century source. If we go back to an earlier translation of the Old Testament into Greek, known as the Septuagint, It gives us a different rending of                 Amos 7:1:"Thus the Lord showed me, and behold a swarm of locusts were coming, and behold, one of the young devastating locusts was Gog, the King." Amos 7:1 (LXX)
The identification of Gog / Apollyon as the king of the locusts would have profound implications upon our understanding of Eze.38-39 we can read in Proverbs 30:27 (KJV)   The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;  So this is telling us that the "locusts" of Amos 7 are not intended to be natural locusts, but an idiom for something else. We can find the answer in Revelation chapter 9 The locusts there are described as having a king or a Prince over them , which is clearly demonic in nature.        

Rev. 16:13-14 (KJV) 

    And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are (19)the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world,(20) to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

19.   In Apollo's role as healer, his appellations included Akesios and Iatros, meaning "healer”

20.   The Aπλοaν suggestion is repeated by Plutarch in Moralia in the sense of "unity".^{[citation needed]} Hesychius connects the name Apollo with the Doric απελλα, which means "assembly", so that Apollo would be the god of political life,

Rev. 13:15 (KJV) 

 And he had power to (21)give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

21.  When in the consulship of Appius Claudius, and Marcus Perpenna, Publius Crassus was slain in a battle with Aristonicus, Apollo's statue at Cumae shed tears for four days without intermission. *There is a  man, at this day, in the Church of Rome, somewhere on the Continent,

who rejoices in the name of St. Cubertin, who so overflows with Idolatry, that when he engages in his devotions there is no keeping his body down to the ground, but, spite of all the laws of gravity, it rises several feet into the air. So was it also with the renowned St. Francis of Assisi, * Petrus a Martina, * and Francis of Macerata, * some centuries ago. But both St. Cubertin and St. Francis and his fellows are far from being original in this superhuman devotion. 

The APOLLO BELVEDERE, a famous marble statue is located in the Vatican .

Further, the Pope, in the plenitude of his power, assumes the right of wielding the lightnings of Jehovah, and of blasting by his "fulminations" whoever offends him. Kings, and whole nations, believing in this power, have trembled and bowed before him, through fear of being scathed by his spiritual thunders.

Daniel 8:22

    Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, (22)but not in his power.

22.  Two fold meaning not in the power of Alexander the Great nor in the power of Apollyon who possessed him and was Prince of his Kingdom.

Daniel 8: 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, (23) a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

23.  Two fold meaning a man and Apollyon

Daniel 8: 24  (24)And his power shall be mighty,  (25)but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and (26) shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

24.   Witchcraft  and miracles Apollyon  is the  prince of these.

25.   not by the power of a mortal man but Apollyon  and Satan

26.  By Apollyon the destroyer and the mortal man beast.

Abaddon/Apollyon/Apollo is the same "destroyer" of the Passover who slew all the firstborn of man and beast in Egypt. This same "destroyer" passed through the land of Israel and slew the "firstborn" Jews, those of the Old Covenant, while the younger sons, the Jews of the New Covenant were covered by the blood of the Lamb and thus were spared from this judgment.

He will be the same used to pass judgement on man during the tribulation as well.

Daniel 8: 25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: (27)he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

27.  Apollyon will be the one who fights against Jesus not the mortal man antichrist .Man cannot fight against Jesus only a Spirit can. But this has refrence .as well To the Beast at Armageddon.

Daniel 7:20 (KJV) 

 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more (28) stout than his fellows

28.   Apollyon is Chief of the Fallen Angels under Satan

  rab; (Chaldee); corresponding to Hebrew 7227 (rab) :- captain, chief, great, lord, master, stout.

Daniel 7:25 (KJV) 

    And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to (29)change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

29.  Apollo was the god of law

The beast

To get a true understanding of whom and what the beast is we have to look at three things

1.      A symbol of a mortal man  Rev. 13:18 ;(He will be slain/die ) Dan.7:11, 8:25 ; 2 Thes. 2:8;

2.      A symbol of a principality  (He will come out of the Bott. pit) Rev. 17:8 ; Rev 11:7;

3.      A symbol of a kingdom Dan.8:23 ;Rev.17:9-11 ;

Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)  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.

Rev. 17:8-17 The beast that thou sawest was, [This means that the symbol of the fallen Angel/Prince and Kingdom part’s of the beast was on earth before Johns day or before Messiah (Christ).That would mean one of the first five Empires/heads] and is not; [This means the beast is not present or ruling on earth during his day /time. The Roman Empire is during his time the sixth head.The Prince of the Roman Empire will not rule during this part of the tribulation because he is not.] and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, [ This means that the beast or fallen Prince will ascend out of the bottomless pit and the mortal man part of the symbol of the beast will be possessed by demons  out of the bottomless  pit and in the future tribulation. He will defeat the 7^th. head/10 Kings  and  become the 8^th.head/Empire] and go into perdition: [Then both symbols the mortal man and the Prince will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity]  and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,[Those that will never know Jesus as their saviour, Eloheem (God) has knowledge of all things and he knows who will serve him and go to Heaven .] when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [This means that one of the symbols of the beast a Fallen Angel will come from the bottomless pit and His demons will posses the man part of the symbol of the beast and the mortal man will be killed at the battle of Armageddon and his number will be man’s number which is six,six,six.] Rev.17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [This is the seven kingdoms that have ruled over Israel by the sword 1^st. Head Egypt,

2^nd. Head Assyria, 3^rd. Head Babylon, 4^th. Head Medo-Persia ,5^th. Head Greece, 6^th. Head Rome,

7^th. Head the 10 Kings out from the old Roman Empire Terr.; mountains are kingdoms. The woman controls the territories of the previous six heads and of the seventh; this is what it means by her sitting on them.]   I will give you an example of a mountain which is a Kindom and the mountain being Rome which was cast into the sea. Mark 11:13-14 (KJV)  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; ( “ See the Fig Tree” ) [ This is symbolic of what was to be the rejection at the cross of the nation of Israel because of their rejection of him and because they weren’t  bearing fruit;nothing but leaves is symbolic of them only being a kingdom but no fruit. ] Mk.11:13b. for the time of figs was not yet. {The figs/fruit come after the leaves}

[ Because of their rejection of Jesus he was a going to cut them off and give salvation to another nation the Gentiles  .It no longer was their time  

Matthew 21:43  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Eloheem (God) shall be taken from you,and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. ]  [ After the 7 years of tribulation the whole nation of Israel will bear fruit and be saved in one day.

Zech. 3:9 (KJV)  For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith YAHWEH (the Lord) of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. ] Romans 11:25-26 ;Isaiah 4:3

Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.     [  ahee-ohn'; from the same as Greek 104 (aei); properly an age; (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future) This was just for an age or period of time the times of the Gentiles. ]  And his disciples heard it. ) Matthew 13:31-32 (KJV)   Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. We are suppose to have the faith as a grain of mustard seed not of a grain of mustard seed. See we are to grow in faith as the mustard seed does and become big and strong in the Lord. Matthew 21:21 (KJV)   Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. What is Jesus a talking about when he speaks of this mountain? 1^st. We must ask what is a mountain in the word of God ? Almost always unless a certain mountain is given the word mountain is a kingdom. 2^nd. What kingdom is during this time the Roman Empire, as the faith of the beleivers grew the Roman Empire fell because of Christanity.That mountain was cast into the Sea.

Rev.17: 10  And there are seven kings: [This is just telling us that the seven heads/mountains are seven kingdoms] five are fallen,[This means that five have already fallen before Johns day or before Jesus came to earth in the flesh. Those five are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia ,and Grecia] and one is,[ this means that one is during Johns day which is Rome] and the other is not yet come; and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  [This means the seventh hasn’t come yet but it will be here in the future tribulation the first 3 ˝ years of tribulation. [This 7^th.head/kingdom th 10 Kings will be defeated by the antichrist by the middle of tribulation.]

Rev.17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,[This means the beast that was on earth before Johns day and is not during his day even he will assend out of the Pit and he will first defeat three of the 10 Kings and the rest will give him their power.Dan.7:8  and after he defeats the ten kings then he becomes the 8^th.head/Empire,]  and is of the seven,

[This means that the satanic powers that controlled one of the seven previous kingdoms will control the antichrist/beast. And since he is before the sixth he has to be one of the first five.Egypt,Assyria,Babylon,Medo-Persia or Greece not Rome the 6^th.]

and goeth into perdition. [ He will be cast into the lake of fire ]Rev.17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [ These ten kings will come to power in the end times and give their power to the beast/antichrist.]

REV.17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [After the antichrist has defeated three of these kingdoms in Dan.7:8 the rest will decide to give their power and strength to the beast to destroy the woman and if they can do that they will think that they can destroy Israel.]Rev.17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is YAHSHUA (Lord) of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [The Lamb is Jesus and this is talking about the battle of Armageddon] Rev.17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [ This is all the countries that the woman has control of  all over the world.]  Rev.17:16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, [These peoples within this territory  already hate the woman she is called the great Satan ] and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [The only way that these nations that have come into the antichrist power could do such as this is with a nuclear weapon. And a nuclear weapon wouldn’t be able to destroy a religion their would be a remnant somewhere .A persons religion is in their heart and that cannot be totally destroyed by man, everyone with that religion would have to be destroyed and that would take a long period of time man and Satan has been trying to destroy the Jews and Christians always and they haven’t been able to succeed this should tell you something .We must also look at the fact that this woman will be destroyed suddenly in  the middle of tribulation and this cannot be done of a religion.] Rev.17:17  For Eloheem (God) hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the Words of Eloheem (God) shall be fulfilled. [ Eloheem (God) has many times raised up kingdoms to fulfill his will to bring forth prophecy; such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia ,and Rome. What kingdom could she be that has the power to control these ten kingdoms until the middle of tribulation?

In this study I will try to give you some of the understanding that I have about how Eloheem (God) sets up all kingdoms

Psalm 68:21a.But Eloheem (God) shall wound the head of his enemies,

Romans 16:20a.  And the Eloheem (God) of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.   soon-tree'-bo; to crush completely, [ Psa 68:21a. and Rom. 16:20a. are talking about the complete destruction of Satan].[The Word  head is symbolic of the principalities which are fallen angels that controls kingdoms.

Satan is over all of our enemies which are  Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)  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.

ELOHEEM (GOD) SETS UP ALL KINGDOMS USING ANGELS Daniel 2:21  And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth  kings, and setteth  up kings: he giveth  wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. [The prince of  Persia is the satanic prince /fallen Angel or ruler of the kingdom of Persia in the spirit realm, This was the one ruling the kingdom of Persia for Satan who is recognized in Scripture as being the god and ruler of this world, having usurped man's dominion (Matthew 4:8-9; Matthew 12:24-30; John 8:44; John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4; Ephes. 2:2; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:7-12; Rev. 16:13-16; Rev. 20:1-10). Satan has Fallen Angels or Princes  over all the governments of this world Satan has his trusted angels who are responsible to him for carrying out his will in those governments. Satan seeks to hinder or try and stop Eloheem’s (God's) plan in the fulfillment of prophecy regarding world kingdoms.  Eloheem (God) also has trusted angels or princes and they carry out His will concerning what He has predicted to take place in the kingdoms of this world (Daniel 10:11-21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1).  Hence, there are always wars between these two groups of Angels /Princes  in the heavenlies (Daniel 10:13,20-21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7-12). All wars lost or won on earth are results of wars lost or won by these heavenly armies. All wars are won eventually by all of Eloheem’s (God’s) righteous Angels . Not only over every government of this world are there good and evil spirit beings seeking to influence and carry out the will of their masters, but over every individual life the same is true (Matthew 18:10; 2 Cor. 10:4-6; Ephes. 2:2;

Ephes. 6:10-18; Hebrews 1:14; Jude 1:9).  Satan himself is active along the line of seeking to defeat Eloheem’s (God's) purpose in the lives of His children (1 Chron. 21:1; Job 1:6; Job 2:1; Zech. 3:1; Matthew 4:1-11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Ephes. 2:2; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:12). Michael is the prince of Israel (Daniel 10:21; Daniel 12:1). The prince of Grecia is referred to in Daniel 10:20. The Words prince and princes are from the Hebrew: sar (HSN-8269), which means a chief ruler in the natural or spiritual realms. It is generally rendered "prince" in the book of Daniel  (Daniel 1:7-11,18; Daniel 8:11,25; Daniel 9:6,8; Daniel 10:13,20,21; Daniel 11:5; Daniel 12:1).

There are Four Angels Named in Scripture

1.Lucifer is named in (Isaiah 14:12; Ezekiel 28:11-17;) Lucifer is Satan /the Dragon and that old Serpant.

2 Abaddon or Apollyon is named in (Rev. 9:11) Apollyon is Satan’s highest ranking fallen Angel the king or prince of the Abyss over all the demons and fallen Angels in the Abyss under Satan whom  is in Heaven accusing the brethren.

3.Gabriel is named in (Daniel 8:16; Daniel 9:21; Luke 1:19,26) Gabriel  is an Arch Angel and a Prince.

4..Michael is named in (Daniel 10:13,21; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7) Michael is an Arch Angel and the Prince of the kingdom of Israel.

one of the chief princes This proves there are ranks among angels(1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9

kings of Persia This refers to the satanic princes of the kingdom of the Medeo and Persia Empire

Daniel 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.(THE DEFEAT OF PERSIA BY GRECIA IN THE SPIRIT REALM )Daniel 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.(THE DEFEAT OF BABYLON BY THE MEDO-PERSIAN  EMPIRE IN THE SPIRIT REALM.)ANGELS ARE PRINCES, SATAN IS PRINCE OF THE AIR.   JESUS IS PRINCE OF PRINCES WHOM IS OVER ALL ANGELS.THEY ARE ALSO KINGS in Rev. 9:11 (KJV)   And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.)

IN Rev. 13:1 (KJV)   And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw abeast 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.We must notice here that the ten horns of the antichrist/beast is crowned .Meaning that he has control and will rule the 10 kingdoms, but did not rule the previous seven Satan did in )

 Rev. 12:3 (KJV)   And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.( by his 7 heads being crowned

THIS MEANS SATAN RULED BY AUTHORITY OVER THE SEVEN PREVIOUS KINGDOMS , BUT SATAN GIVES THE ANTICHRIST HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THE TEN KINGS and he becomes the 8^th.head/kingdom

Rev 13:2(KJV)    and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopardTHIS LEAPORD IS SYMBOLIC OF THE GREACIAN  EMPIRE THE 5^TH.  HEAD ON THE BEAST OF REV.13:1-2 AND REV.17:3

This lepord kingdom or Grecian Empire is in Daniel 7:6  the prince that controlled the Grecian  Empire will control the antichrist/beast Empire the 8^th. head of the beast in Rev.13:1 and Rev. 17:3 he is the 8^th. He has a face of a leopard  and This means that this will be Satan’s Prince that controls the beast/antichrist

Daniel 7:6   After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. [ The four heads are the four kingdoms that came from this Empire after Alexander the Great’s death at the age of 33; They are  the 1^st.head is Egypt, the 2^nd. Head is Syria, the 3^rd. head is Turkey , And the 4^th. head is Grecia . These heads which are kingdoms are not in any specific order like the ones that are on beast in Rev.13 and 17 .]Rev. 13:2 , and his feet were as the feet of a bear [ THIS IS SYMBOLIC OF THE MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE  in Daniel 10:13 The prince of Persia Dan.10:13 and the 4^th. head of the beast/antichrist in Rev. 13:1 and Rev 17:3.]

 Daniel 10:13  But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

 [ The Prince of Persia is the fallen Angel that ruled that Kingdom for Satan and the Kings were the fallen Angels under the Prince of Persia’s authority that Michal and Gabriel had to fight in the spirit realm..]Daniel 7:5    And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 

  [This bear was symbolic of  the Medo Persian Empire which was the 4^th. head of the beast of Rev.13:1-2 and Rev. 17:3.]  Jeremiah 51:11   Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: YAHWEH (the Lord) hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of YAHWEH (the Lord), the vengeance of his temple. [This spirit is a fallen Angel; Angels are spirits (see seven eyes and seven spirits of YAHWEH (the Lord). )

This is the fallen Angel that controls the Medo-Persian Empire for Satan the same as the Prince of Persia .This spirit/Prince has authority over other Princes/Kings which are also  fallen Angels in Daniel 10:13 the Kings that Michael and Gabriel fought were these Kings and Princes.]

Rev. 13:2  and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:

[ The Lion  IS SYMBOLIC OF THE BABYLONION EMPIRE The prince of  Babylon. ]

Gabriel helped Michael fight against the prince of Babylon  in  Daniel 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. [ Michael stood with Gabriel to strengthen him or to fight against and defeat  the Prince of Babylon which was Satan’s  fallen Angel over the Kingdom. of the Babylonian Empire. They not only had to fight against him but many other Princes/Kings  that were under his authority.]

Daniel 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it .[ The lion is symbolic of the Babylonian Empire the 3^rd. head of the beast of Rev 13:1-2 and Rev.17:3 }

 Rev.13:3   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. THIS  HEAD    THAT IS WOUNDED . IS The Kingdom or the revised Roman Empire ruled by A satanic prince/angel of that KINGDOM  AND IS HEALED BY THE COMING OF THE BEAST which is the symbolic name of the satanic prince/angel THE 8^TH.HEAD OUT FROM  WITHIN  THE GREACIAN   EMPIRE  TERR.. THE 5TH KINGDOM TO PERSACUTE THE JEWS AND IS OF THE SEVEN Rev.17:11 [DAN. 7.]

The demon spirits that controlled that kingdom under the Prince of Grecia will posses and control the beast and the frogs that come out of his mouth in Rev.16;13 these will be some of the demons that he is possessed with.Rev. 16:13   And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

We can see that Angels are Horns and carpenters in   Zech. 1:16-18 (KJV)  

Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

Zech. 1:17Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. ( These Horns are the fallen Angels or the Heads of the first four Empires in Dan.7.                         The ones that have scattered Judah and Israel.

1.  The 1^ST. Horn the Babylonian Empire the 3^rd. Head on the beast Rev 13,17/ Dan.7:4 .

2.  The 2^ND. Horn the Medo-Persian Empire the 4^th.Head on the Beast Rev.13,17 /Dan.7:5, 8:2-7

3.  The 3^RD. Horn  the Grecian Empire the 5^th. Head on the Beast Rev. 13,17 /Dan.7:6 , 8:5-8.

4.  The 4^TH. Horn  the Roman Empire the 6^th. Head on the beast Rev.13 ,17 /Dan.7:7 .

These scattered Israel and Judah all over the four corners of the World.)

These are the same kingdoms spoken of in Dan.2:31-45

20And ( YAWHEW ) shewed me four carpenters.

Zech.1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. Jesus was a carpenter; These four carpenters/Angels came to cast out the four horns/Fallen Angels.

The dragon was wounded when Rahab which is Egypt was cut in Isa. 51:9 the head is a satanic prince/angel which controls the kingdom not a living mortal man;This is the same meaning as the fatal wound in Rev.13:3 The fatal wound is the future defeat of the revised Roman Empire and the revision of the Grecian Empire the face of a leopard by the beast;

Isaiah 51:9   Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of YAHWEH (the Lord); awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

A RELIGIOUS SYSTEM WILL NOT CONTROL  THE ANTICHRIST/BEAST AS MANY TEACH

 Not one religious system but Satan will be able to control the antichrist/beast. Only a kingdom will have that power until the middle of tribulation.

He will worship Satan and be possessed and controlled by demons He will not worship the Eloheem (God) of his fathers. [Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the Eloheem (God) of his fathers,]He will get his power and strength from the dragon/Satan himself.

[Rev. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: ] [ We will see latter in the study that antichrist/beast will be a Muslims  not a Roman ; ]But we see that He will come out from the old Roman Empire terr. In Dan. 7

Daniel 7:1-28 (KJV)  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

Beasts are symbolic of kingdoms (Daniel 7:17,23-24; Daniel 8:20-23; Rev. 17:8-11) and the kingdoms rulers (Rev. 11:7; Rev. 13:18; Rev. 17:8).

 Dan.7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

Some seem to believe that this vision was for 4 kingdoms after the present one but this is not true. Babylon had already risen and was in power when Daniel seen

The image of Daniel 2 , yet Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar, "Thou art this head of gold.  And after thee shall arise another kingdom," etc.  (Daniel 2:38-39).  If Babylon could be symbolized by a head of gold after it had already risen into power, then the same kingdom could be symbolized by a lion after it had risen. A lion is the symbol of the king of Babylon in(Isaiah 5:29; Jeremiah 4:7; Jeremiah 50:17,44-46).

The Eagles wings denote the swiftness of the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He had made a vast empire In just a few years. The wings being plucked and the lion standing upon its feet as a man with a man's heart being given to it symbolize the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar coming to an abrupt end by his insanity and his becoming sane again—as a man (Daniel 4:33,36).

5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

 A bear is a fitting symbol of Medo-Persia because of all their evil and thirst after blood it is also the second kingdom in sucession from the Babylonian Empire(Isaiah 13:16-18; Jeremiah 51:48-56.[one side] This is symbolic of the strength of the Persians compared to the Medes.  It is the same Idea as the higher horn of the ram in Daniel 8:3—

Cyrus the Persian who was greater in power and strength than Darius the Mede (Daniel 5:31) and the Persian came up last of the two (2 Chron. 36:20-23; Ezra 1:1-8; Ezra 3:7; Ezra 4:5; Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 45:1). This Medo-Persian kingdom is mentioned in Daniel 5:24-31;  in Daniel 6:1-28;  in Daniel 7:5,17;  in Daniel 8:1-4,20;  in Daniel 10:1-20;  in Daniel 11:1-2; Isaiah 13:17-22; Isaiah 21:2; 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11; Esther 1:1-9:3.

[three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it] This symbolic of the conquest of Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt by the Medes and Persians.  The bear devoured "much flesh."

6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

[leopard] This is symbolic of the Grecian Empire founded by Alexander the Great.  The leopard is known for its strength and swiftness. This is the third Kingdom/head that Daniel had seen in order. Previously, the two wings of the lion symbolized swiftness, but here the four wings symbolize double swiftness of Alexander over Nebuchadnezzar's conquests.  None of the other beasts conquests equaled those of Alexander the great

The four heads are symbolic of the four divisions of the Grecian Empire after the death of Alexander, as do the four horns of § Daniel 8:8,22-23.

 Heads almost always symbolize kingdoms (Daniel 8:20-23; Rev. 17:9-11).  This kingdom is mentioned in Daniel 2:32,35,39,45; Daniel 7:6,17; Daniel 8:5-25; Daniel 10:20; Daniel 11:3-45; Zech. 8:13.

Dan.7: 7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

The phrase "after this" indicates that the fourth kingdom would follow the preceding one which was—Greece (Daniel 7:6,7).The “fourth beast” is  symbolic of the old Roman Empire, the fourth of four kingdoms in succession.  It is mentioned by name only in the New Testament in (John 11:48; Acts 2:10; Acts 16:21; etc.). There is no beast on earth to compare it with so it was called dreadful, terrible,  strong beast with great iron teeth symbolizing the same as the iron on the image of Daniel 2:40-43.

The Roman Empire devoured the other beasts and stamped upon them with its feet, meaning it conquered all the territories of the first beasts—Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece.  It was different from all beasts before it, not only in a republican form of government, but also in power, greatness, extent of dominion, and length of duration.  The ten horns symbolize ten kingdoms in the latter days, the last form of the old Roman Empire

(Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24; Rev. 13; Rev. 17:8-17).

 Horns almost always symbolize kingdoms  / kings    (Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24; Daniel 8:8-9, 20-23;Rev.13:1,11; Rev. 17:3,12,16;).

Dan7:8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

The little horn was the last part of the beast seen by Daniel, and is therefore considered last here (Daniel 7:8,23-24; Rev. 17:12-17).

The ten horns were fully grown Then little horn came up. The little horn plucked up three

of the ten kingdoms by the roots, this is symbolic of  the Antichrist coming in the last days

and after the formation of Rome into ten kingdoms.  He will overthrow three of them and

the others will submit to him without further war. (Daniel 7:8,23-24;Daniel

9:27;Rev.6:2; Rev. 17:11-17). for they have one thing in their mind to destroy Mystery

Babylon Rev.17:12-13 because if they can destroy M.B. then the Mahdi will come and / or will be able to destroy Israel.   “depending how they believe “

Rev.12 the woman clothed with the sunThis little horn will be a mortal man who speaks blasphemies against Eloheem (God) (Daniel 7:8,25; Daniel 11:36; Rev. 13:1,5; Rev. 17:3).

Dan.7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

From the time of Babylon until the judgment of Daniel 7:9-10, the defeat of Antichrist and the second coming of Messiah (Christ) of Daniel 7:11-14.This will be the conclusion of the times of the gentiles their rule over the nation of Israel will end.Cast down refers to the judgment of the nations (Daniel 7:26; Matthew 25:31-46). Eloheem (God) the Father is the ancient of days, not Messiah (Christ) who is seen as a separate Person from the Ancient of days in Daniel 7:13-14.  Both are seen as separate Persons by the same prophet and at the same place, so there must be at least two Persons in the Godhead.  The fact is, there are three. 

Dan.7:10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Dan.7:11I beheld then because of the voice of the great Words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

They are Four Things Concerning Antichrist and proving him to be a mortal man

1.   He will speak great Words (Daniel 7:8,11,20,25; Daniel 8:23-25; Daniel 11:36; Rev. 13:5).

2.   He will be slain (Daniel 7:11; Daniel 8:25; Daniel 11:45; Isaiah 11:4; 2 Thes. 2:8; Rev. 19:20).  To be slain at the second coming, he will need to be a mortal man of the last days—one who will die for the first and last time his own appointed death (Hebrews 9:27).  He therefore will not be some historical man who has died and been resurrected as an immortal man and an incarnation of Satan, as some believe.

3.   His body will be destroyed (killed, Daniel 7:11; cp.).

4.  His body will be cast into hell (Daniel 7:11; Rev. 19:20; Rev. 20: Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:510).

He will also be possessed by demons out of the abyss and he represents a kingdom.

12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time

Dan.7:13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

This "one" is the Son of Man, YAHWEH (the Lord) YAHSHUA (Jesus) Messiah (Christ).  He is not the Ancient of days of Daniel 7:9-10, but another one, separate and distinct from Him came with the clouds of heaven (Daniel 7:13). This is definitely the second coming of Messiah (Christ) pictured here (Isaiah 63:1-6; Zech. 14:1-5; Matthew 24:29-31; Matthew 25:31-46; Matthew 26:64; 2 Thes. 1:7-10; 2 Thes. 2:8; Jude 1:14; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-21).

If He comes to the Ancient of days, then He is not the Ancient of days.  If they bring Him (the Son of man) near before Him (the Ancient of days), then it is confirmed twice in one scripture that these are two separate Persons, each having His own personal body, soul, and spirit. Dan.7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. 

The Son of man receives dominion, glory, and a kingdom composed of natural peoples of all races that they may be His subjects eternally.  His kingdom is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed.

Messiah (Christ) will receive a kingdom at His second coming (Daniel 7:13-14; Zech.

14; Matthew 24:29-31; Matthew 25:25:31-46; Jude 1:14; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-20:10).

His kingdom will be an eternal one (Daniel 7:13-14,18,27; Daniel 2:35,44-45; Daniel

4:3; Daniel 6:26; Psalm 45:6; Psalm 145:13; Psalm 146:10; Isaiah 9:6-7; Obadiah 21;

Micah 4:7; Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 1:32-33; Hebrews 1:8; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 22:4-5).

His eternal subjects will be the coming eternal generations of natural people who will

continue the same program that Adam and his race would have carried out if man had

not fallen (Daniel 7:13-14,18,27; Daniel 2:44-45; Genesis 8:22; Genesis 9:12; Isaiah

9:6-7; Isaiah 59:21; Rev. 11:15).

Dan.7:15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and

the visions of my head troubled me. 16 I came near unto one of them that

stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made

me know the interpretation of the things. 17These great beasts, which

are four,are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. These four beasts

are four kings or kingdoms in succession (Daniel 7:17,23-24; Daniel 2:39-43; Daniel 8:20

23; Rev. 17:9-11).18But the saints of the most High shall take the

kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was

diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were

of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces and

stamped the residue with his feet;

The teeth of iron is symbolic of the Roman Empire as revealed in the legs of iron and the feet, part of clay and iron, of Daniel 2:40-43.

Dan.7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

[Daniel 7:23-24 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,[which was the 6^th. head on the beast and 4^th.kingdom from the time of Daniel 7. Which in  Rev. 13:1 and Rev.17:3 is the Roman Empire; This will be the fourth kingdom from Daniel’s time forward that will persecute the Jews .

Eloheem (God) was showing him the future not the past. Eloheem (God)  didn’t show Daniel the two before his time the 1^st. head/Egypt, and 2^nd. head/ Assyria which had already persecuted the Jews ; they had  fallen before his time and he already had knowledge of them.  

which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. [This kingdom will be Stronger ] 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: [ The 7^th. head the Ten kingdoms shall arise in latter times or end of times ]  and another shall rise after them; [ The 8^th.head/ Kingdom, The antichrist/beast kingdom]   and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [ Before the antichrist can bring forth the 8^th. Kingdom he has to defeat three of the ten kingdoms and the rest will give their kingdom to him for one reason to destroy Mystery Babylon because  then they will think that they can destroy Israel. Rev.17:13-17 ] 

In Dan. 8  we also can see the antichrist/beast coming out from of the Grecian  Empire territory which is within the Roman Empire territory; Which consist of Egypt, Grecia,Turkey and Syria in 

Daniel 8:21-25   And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. [ Which was Alexander the great ]  22Now that being broken,[ This is speaking of his death at the age of 33 ] whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

[ four kingdoms came out of the Grecian Empire after Alexander the greats death. Egypt,  Grecia, Turkey and Syria. ]  23And in the latter time of their kingdom, [During the tribulation period] when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. [ The beast/antichrist will come out from within one of these  four kingdoms][, dark sentences is witchcraft/Satan worship]  24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power

( Rev. 13:4  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,[He will worship Satan/dragon ,and  practice witchcraft ]

Dan.8:24b-25a.  and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:

[By the covenant he makes in Dan 9:27 with many he will be allowed to war with three nations and defeat them in Dan.7:8  until he comes into full power over them and the rest of the ten horns/kings which are left  will give their power and authority to the beast for one reason; to destroy Mystery Babylon Rev.17;16  and Israel next in  Rev.12] Dan 8:25b. he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. In [Rev.19:11-21]

[The antichrist will come from one of the four kingdoms of the Grecian Empire and that kingdom will be  8^TH. head/kingdom ]

He is called an Assyrian in many scriptures. (Isaiah 10:24-34 (KJV)  Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. 26And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 27And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 28He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 29They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 30Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 31Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 32As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 34And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

 Isaiah 14:25; Micah 5:3-5; Rev. 19:11-21).

Isaiah 31:8 (KJV)   Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sWord, not of a mighty man; and the sWord, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sWord, and his young men shall be discomfited. [ That mighty man will be Yahshua “Jesus” ]

Isaiah 42:13-14 (KJV)   The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

Isaiah 42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

We can also see him coming out from Syria  in Dan.11:40-44 which is spoken of as the kingdom of the north.   Daniel 11:40-44 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:[ The king of the south is Egypt.] and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [The king of the north is Syria. Some people try to say the king of the north is Russia because he is the prince of Meshech and Tubal in Ezekiel 38:2.The reason that the antichrist is their prince is because he will have defeated them and brought them to the battle of Armageddon as a defeated nation and will have become their prince just as he will over the ten kingdoms when he becomes  their prince. He goes away and defeats them in Dan.11:44. But the Prince over Meshech and Tubal is Apollyon in the Spirit Realm. So now we see that he comes from Syria which is within the old Grecian Empire terr. ,which is within the old Roman Empire territory. Which would make him a Muslims not a Roman/European. He will definitely be a Muslims And the Catholic Church will not control him  as many teach.41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

 [This is where the Sun clothed Woman /Israel will flee during the last 3 ˝  years of tribulation  Rev. 12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Eloheem (God), that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.[The woman/Israel fled 1,260 days , 3 ˝ years or fourty two months] Daniel 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [The kingdom of the south in Dan 11:40 ]  43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. Dan.11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: [The kingdoms of the north of this verse is Turkey ,Russia and some of the former Soviet Union Republics . This is more proof that the kingdom of the north in verse 40 cannot be Russia but Syria.] therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. [ After he has defeated the kingdoms of the north and east which is probably China he will become their prince but the Prince of Meshech and Tubal Ezekiel 39:1-2. Is Apollyon.By this we see the Beast with Assyrian Blood . So we must ask ourselves why will Jews except him as the Messiah? The answer is that he will be born and raised in Palestine Bethlehem  but will have Assyrian Blood most likely unknown to the Jews. There will be such great Tumult in the World and in Palestine it will be even worse.Islam will be against Islam,the Jews and the world. This Al Mahadi will have the answers and will be able to unite the Islamic Nations to peace and deceive Israel by Peace “he shall destroy many”. He will be the Islamic Al Mahadi and the supposed Jewish Messiah from Bethlehem.Islamic nations never intend to keep a peace treaty only to use it for their advantage until they can overpower those in whom they have agreed with for peace.They are just looking for time. This is the reason for the treaty of Dan. 9:27 and it being broken.

The 2^nd.  Beast of Rev. 13

Rev. 13:11 (KJV) 

    And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The second beast is a specific individual that has power over A religious institution. . . . it is more likely that the singular phrase “beast” (thērion) or “false prophet” (pseudoprophētēs ) refers to an individual of  a religious institution. Moreover, because he spends eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20+; 20:10+), the false prophet is characterized as possessing an eternal soul. Such an attribute and eternal fate is descriptive of individuals rather than institutions. [emphasis added]⁶

Rev. 16:13 (KJV) 

    And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

This lets us know that the Beast is possessed of Demon spirits.

So we must see the 2^nd. Beast as three things

1.      Man

2.      Possessed by spirits

3.        2 Religious institution’s

·        1.  two horns

The mention of horns in conjunction with a Lamb points to the vision of the throne room prior to the opening of the first seal where John saw “a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven yes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth” (Rev. 5:6b+). Horns frequently symbolize power. The Lamb has seven, the number of completeness. This beast has two, the number of witness, for he shall serve as the ultimate witness to the first beast.

The two Horns are a symbol of two different religious systems that will unite together in the end of days .

·        2. like a lamb

Paul warned of Satan’s “ministers,” false apostles and deceitful workers which follow Satan’s pattern and transform themselves into apostles of Christ (2Cor. 11:13-15).

There have been many false apostles and deceitful workers since then and especially toward the time of the end, but none more convincing and containing such contrast as this False Prophet of the end. His appearance as a lamb shows us who he actually is the Lamb is symbolic of Jesus or in this case a false Jesus..

·        3. spoke like a dragon

Although he looks like a lamb, his verbal instructions are energized by the will of the dragon (Rev. 12:2-4+, 17+; 13:4+). It is he who causes worship of the Beast. He tells those who dwell on the earth to make the image of the Beast. He is also the enforcer of the mark required in order to buy or sell. His speech like a dragon is an allusion to the introduction of deception into the human race in the Garden: “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

And he said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said . . . ?’ ” [emphasis added] (Gen. 3:1). Like the serpent, his mouth will be employed in opposition to God’s  “True”  Word.

We must first understand that the two Horns on the false Prophet are symbolic of two major religions that will be prominent during the Tribulation.

These two must have similarities for them to unite together.

·        4. I would like to focus on

1. Shia –Islam
2. Catholicism

·        5. You might say how can The Roman Catholic Church be similar to              Islam?

 We must first understand what the Catholic church believe about Allah and salvation for Islam.

“841 The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.

847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:  Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.”

Now lets look at Islam. Islam holds Jesus (Arabic: عيسى‎ `Īsā) to have been a messenger and a prophet of God and the Messiah (The concept of prophecy in Islam is broader than Judaism and Christianity since Muslims distinguish between "messengers" (ar: rasul) and "prophets" (ar: nabi). Unlike prophets, messengers are given a message/scripture (ar: risalah) in book form. All messengers are prophets but not vice versa) ^[1] According to the Qur'an, Jesus was one of God's most beloved messengers, a precursor to Muhammad ^[2], and was sent to guide the Children of Israel

·        6. The Al Mahadi rightful ruler of all Islam

In the Twelver school of Shi`ite Islam, the Mahdī is believed to have been an historical figure identified with the Twelfth Imām, Muhammad al-Mahdī, and is therefore called al-Imām al-Mahdī. It is believed that he is still present on earth "in occultation" (i.e., hidden), and will emerge again in the end times. Those Shi`ites of this school believe that the Imām Mahdī is the rightful ruler of the whole Islamic community (ummah) at any given time, and he is therefore also called Imām al-Zamān, meaning "Imām of the Age."

Muḥammad al-Mahdī (born 868) (Arabic: محمد المهدى‎ ​) is the twelfth and final Shi'a Imam. He is the person believed by Shi'as to be the Mahdi; a figure considered by both Sunnis and Shias to be the ultimate saviour of humankind. Shi'as and Sunnis differ on the identity of the Mahdi, with Shi'as believing that he was born in 868 and has been hidden by God (referred to as occultation) to later emerge to fulfill his mission. Sunnis either believe that he is yet to be born, or that he was born recently and has yet to emerge.

Whatever the case, both groups believe that he will bring absolute peace and justice throughout the world by establishing Islam as the global religion. As such, the person Allah  and account of Muhammad al-Mahdi in this article is one that is believed only by Shi'as. Shi'as believe that when Muhammad al-Mahdi will reappear, the prophet Isa (Jesus) will also reappear and that he will pray behind al-Mahdi. In other words Jesus  will declare that the Al  Mahdi is the Messiah .

They are to both to go to Jerusalem .Jesus is to Declare that he is not the son of God/Allah and that all are to worship the Al Mahdi and all that don’t will be put to Death.  Jesus is to declare that he never claimed to be the son of God/Alah and wasn’t rersurrected from the dead but rather was caught up in bodily form to Heaven..

The name Jaysh al-Mahdī has apocalyptic connotations to a Muslim's ear: in Islamic theology, the Mah'dī is an end-times figure who it is said will assist the Masīh -  Masih is the Arabic name for Messiah. In modern Arabic it is used as one of the many titles of Isa, ((عيسى `Īsā).). Masih is most often used by Christian Arabs as well as Muslims, and is written as Yasu' al-Masih (يسوع المسيح Yasū`a al-Masīħ) or Isa al-masih. The word Masih literally means "promised one", and Isa or Yasu' al-masih is believed to be the provider of salvation to humankind. Thus Arabic-speaking Christians refer  to destroy the Dajjāl   { (Arabic: دجّال)-Jesus)- ("The Deceiver/impostor/quack"^[1]) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yaum al-Qiyamah.          Yawm al-Qīyāmah (Arabic: يوم القيامة‎ ​ literally: "Day of the Resurrection") is the Arabic name for the Last Judgement. Belief in Qiyâmah is part of Aqidah and is a fundamental tenet of faith in Islam. The trials and tribulations of Qiyâmah are detailed in both the Qur'an and the Hadith, as well as in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-GhazAllah, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail. Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim Allahke, is held accountable for his or her deeds and are judged by Allah accordingly (Qur'an 74.38). Al-Qiyâmah is the 75th sura of the Qur'an.                            

 "Dajjal" in itself is a commonly use Arabic word, "Dajjals" could refer to "False prophets". "Al-Dajjal" on the other hand translates to "The  Impostor", refering to a specific end-of time deceiver.^{[1]} }    Dajjal will apear before Yaum al-Qiyamah} and establish a global Islamic khilāfah in preparation for the Yaum al Qiyāmah; in more familiar terms, it is believed that the Mahdī will come to help the Messiah (i.e., Jesus, referred to in Islam as `Īsā ibn Mariyam) to defeat the Antichrist (literally, al-Masīh al

Dajjāl means "the Deceiving Messiah"), before establishing a just Islamic social order in

preparation for Judgement Day.      

 Islam believes that Jesus `Īsā ibn Mariyam) will come to anounce the arrival of the Imām al-Zamān,-Mahdi ) or the Islamic  Messiah

Then the two will go to Jerusalem and Kill the “supposed “ False Prophets and Kill Jews. The two that will be slain and fulfill this in the word of God is the two witness in Rev.12.  The Beast / Imām al-Zamān,-Mahdi )and the False Prophet `Īsā ibn Mariyam)  (Masih  )will portray the two witness as the Dajjal’s because of they will proclaim  to be Prophets of YHWH they will  make war with them and slay them in the end of the tribulation.

Thus these two Al Mahadi and the  `Īsā ibn Mariyam)    “the The False Mesiah and False Prophet”  which wll be the Beast and the False Prophet of Rev.13 these will have one mind. Rev.17:13

They have one mind to Destroy The US and Israel so the Mahdi CAN RULE. To get a true understanding of 1^st. why the Shi'i Muslims are so against the US from occupying or forming a Democracy and why they hate her so much we must understand Muslim Prophecy, We will go back to their false prophet Muhammad .When Muhammad died he left no successor for Allah ,The tradition came the Doctrine of the 12 (Muhammad said "The Imams after me will be twelve in number, of whom nine will be from the progeny of Husayn. Moreover, the Mahdi of this community will be among us.

 Anyone who holds on to them after me holds on to the rope of God; and whoever abandons them has abandoned God." [12])The Doctrine of the 12 was the decedents of Muhammad one of them would be the Muslim Messiah and be the -Mahdi. Prophecy states that one of the 12 would be the Mahdi but it was unknown which one .The Shi'i hold this doctrine because the 12 where Shi'i  Muslims. So the Sunni Muslims killed the first 11 and was a going to kill the 12^th. To prove this prophecy false. It just so happens that the 12^th. Was hid away and was never fount. Since the first 11 where dead then they couldn’t be the Messiah but they believe the 12^th. Will come back as the Messiah and was to come to the Muslim Temple that was Destroyed by the Sunnis because they don’t want a Shi'i Messiah and if the Temple was Destroyed then this Prophecy could not come to past. It just so happens though that the Shi'i  blame the destruction of the Temple on the US because they believe that the US is trying to stop the -Mahdi from coming .This is the true reason for the insurgents and also as long as the US controls that Territory the Mahdi cannot take power so they will have to Destroy the US so the Allah- Mahdi can Rule.Though the Sunnis will be divided over the Beast/Allah-Mahdi/Gog the vizer of assur or  The head of state for the Muslims  “see Gog in ancient Summarian. who is the vizier of Assur. “Assur” was the Assyrians father of the gods. “Whom we would call Satan”.Viezer means the muslims head of state or ruler. When you put this together it reads “ Gog is the Muslims ruler/head of state for Satan”.

 Main article: Islamic view of Jesus' death

Muslims believe he was rescued and raised bodily. Some Muslims believe God then transformed another person, probably Judas Iscariot or Simon of Cyrene, to appear exactly like Jesus to deceive the Romans and be crucified in Jesus' stead. The basis of this belief is following verse from Qur'an

And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Jesus) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure. Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.These two men will be the False prophet and the Beast.

·        7. Both Islam and Catholicism lift Mary to a higher level than just a normal woman.

Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary, which is recounted throughout several passages in the Qur'an. In the Qur'anic story an angel appears before Mary to announce her the gift of a holy son. Mary is surprised and answers the angel that she is virgin. The angel replies "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed...when He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be', and it is." (19:21, 19:35) The Qur'an rejects the idea that virgin birth implies that Jesus is divine - the example of Adam 3:59 is used in argument against such belief. Sahih Bukhari records that John was a cousin to Jesus.^[8] Soon after his birth, Jesus speaks as an infant to defend Mary from accusations of adultery.

Qur'an, 21:91And she (Mary) who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our Spirit and made her and her son a sign for the nations.

When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead. Sahih Bukhari 4:54:506

The Virgin Mary in Islam ("Maryam" in Arabic) is the mother of Jesus (Arabic Isa). Jesus is considered by Muslims to be one of the prophets of Islam

According to the Qur'an, Isa was born miraculously without a human biological father by the will of Allah (God). His mother is among the most saintly, pious, chaste, and virtuous women ever and a respected figure in Islam. The Qur'an quite decisively declares that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. In the Qur'an, no other woman is given more attention than the Virgin Mary. In fact, the nineteenth sura of the Qur'an is named after her and is about her life. Of the Qur'an's 114 suras, she is among only eight people who have a sura named after them. Mary is also the only woman specifically named in the Qur'an. In Islam, she is generally referred to as Maryam, Umm Isa (Mary, the mother of Jesus). For Muslims, the Virgin Mary is viewed as both an example and a sign for all people

The Mahdi, according to majority Sunni and Shi'ite tradition, will arise at some point before the day of judgement, institute a kingdom of justice, and will in the last days fight alongside the returned Jesus against the Dajjal, the Antichris

The 6th Shi'a Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, said:

"Before the appearance of the one who will rise, peace be upon him, the people will be reprimanded for their acts of disobedience by a fire that will appear in the sky and a redness that will cover the sky. It will swallow up Baghdad, and will swallow up Kufa. Their blood will be shed and houses destroyed. Death will occur amid their people and a fear will come over the people of Iraq from which they shall have no rest."

A loud call from the sky signals the Mahdi's appearance.

The Mehdi will be a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. It is said he will also be a descendant of Israel, but will have the skin of an Arab. He will be from the Hejaz region.

·        9. As a Lamb  -

 In Catholicism the Pope is considered to be the Vicar of Christ.

Or in other words a  (substitute) of Christ on the earth, wielding universal power over the whole church? Here is what the catechism says

"For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered." Pg. 234, #882 "The Roman Pontiff... as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful..." Pg. 235, #891

Or in other words equal to Jesus.

According to Catholic doctrine, the Pope is infallible in matters of doctrine, faith and morals.

"In order to preserve the Church in the purity of the faith handed on by the apostles, Christ who is Truth willed to confer on her a share in his own infallibility. By a supernatural sense of faith the People of God, under the guidance of the Church's living magisterium, unfailingly adheres to this faith." Pg. 235, #889

This is the reason for the “ Lamb” in other words the Pope is and will be the false Lamb of God.

Look for the Pope during the tribulation or before to begin to proclaim that he is Christ .
