Today, Islam is growing at an alarming rate, and is threatening to to take over political and economic power in many nations around the globe. A recent report said that within 20 years, Muslims will make up over 20 per cent of the population of Europe, and could be strong enough in the United States to elect a Muslim president based upon their own votes alone. Muslim theology teaches that all peoples and nations must be converted to Islam, or put to death, and any means needed to bring about the desired end is acceptable, including lying and deception.
Just as Christian are awaiting the return of our Messiah, Jesus, Islam is awaiting a �messiah figure� they call �The Mahdi�, or �12th Iman�, who will come to fight all the enemy�s of Islam, and cause all the earth to worship �Allah�! Over 1 billion people are eagerly awaiting the �Mahdi� - the 12th Imam. The following is found on a website called �Answering Islam�!
The Mahdi is believed to be a future Muslim world leader who will not only rule over the Islamic world, but also the non-Muslim world as well. The Mahdi is said to lead a world revolution that will establish a new Islamic world order throughout the entire earth:
The Mahdi will establish right and justice in the world and eliminate evil and corruption. He will fight against the enemies of the Muslims who would be victorious.
He will reappear on the appointed day, and then he will fight against the forces of evil, lead a world revolution and set up a new world order based on justice, righteousness and virtue, ultimately the righteous will take the world administration in their hands and Islam will be victorious over all the religions.
The Mahdi is Islam�s primary messiah figure. He will be a descendant of Muhammad and will bear Muhammad�s name (Muhammad bin Abdullah). He will be a very devout Muslim. He will be an unparalleled spiritual, political and military world leader. He will emerge after a period of great turmoil and suffering upon the earth.
Notice the similarities between the Islamic �Mahdi� and the beast of Revelations. Is the Last days false religious system Islam�? Are all the prophetic pieces falling into place that will usher in the advent of the false prophet who will require all upon the earth to bend the knee to �Allah�?
Notice the similarities between the world war the �Mahdi� will wage against the enemy�s of Islam and all those who reject �Allah�, and the last great world war that ends at Armageddon, with the return of the true Messiah, Jesus, who destroys the forces of the antichrist and establishes His earthly kingdom for 1000 year�s!
It has begun! The war taking place around us is not just a �war on terror�, it is a spiritual battle for our very souls. The enemy is a deceiver and a liar, and mirrors the works of the Lord. The Muslim �messiah� is a false copy of the real thing, and will lead the world into utter destruction. Time is oh so short, and we need to be about the Fathers business while time allows.
The scriptures admonish us that we are not to bow the knee to the antichrist, and that many will be martyred for the faith. We are told, �therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us WATCH and be sober.� 1 Thes. 5:6 Why is the alarm not
being sounded by every true Christian? Why are we not being warned and prepared for the coming firestorm from every pulpit? Why is the church asleep? Why

Ella says: Because the church is complacant in the things of God. God's word convist men of theor sins, and no one congrgations, including the pastors and spiritual leaders of the churches don't enjoy being convicted of heir sins. Paul tells us this, and many think just because they have bee good church memebrs or pastors of the church for a zillion years, they've got it made in the shade and don't ahave to tell the turth about sins becasue they are saved...
Many church people including pastors, do't believe that Paul's warnings are for the church, but for the world... but Jesus has already told us what is going to happen in that day, and no one believes it will happent o them.
Same as people still having unprotected sex with all the aids and other diseases out there, they think it will not happen to them., the church thinks the same. But we are told that Jesus ' return is going to be a SUDDENLY IN A TWINKLE OF YOUR EYE, and there will not be any time for anyone to get ready, if you're nto ready not. Plus, many don't realize that God is going to judeg us according to our diligence in sounding the alarm, becaseu He has already told us to tell others in His commission about the coming of teh Lord. But no one has the time to stop what they are ding to go out and spread the word of truth abut the coming of the Lord... too busy with thejg randkids, or too busy watchng the games, or working... whatever excuse that comes up, not knowing that thier won eternal reward will be, well done good and faithful servanet OR the consequence ofhearing from Jesus at the great judgment, you get behind me you workers of wickedness, I never knew you!
All I know is that time IS winding UP! GET READY! GET READY ! GET READY!
� Matthew 24:3,9-13:� The disciples asked Jesus, �What will be the sign of your Coming and the end of the age?? Jesus answered�.. {During the Great Tribulation} �Then *YOU* will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and *YOU will be hated by all nations because of Me.� At that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of *MOST* will grow cold,{THE GREAT APOSTASY} but he {The Called, Chosen & Faithful-Rev 17:14b} who stands firm to the End will be saved.�
God will miraculously take care of His Faithful and Courageous Tribulation Saints {Just as he took care of the Israelites for 40 years in the Wilderness} even though they won�t be able to buy or sell anything as per Rev 13:17a. {See Matthew 6:25-34 where storing up items are forbidden}�
This will come as a tremendous shock for those who teach the Prosperity Gospel and who are mainly seeking earthly treasures rather than eternal Heavenly Rewards. They teach: If you accept Jesus as your Savior you have a free pass to Heaven and God forbid that you should suffer any persecution or go through the Great Tribulation; which fits in with the Prosperity Gospel and pre-trib doctrines which are designed to increase church membership at the expense of the Truth. When is the last time you heard a sermon on the virtues and courage of the many thousands of present-day martyrs?? And this is probably why there will be a great FALLING AWAY {THE GREAT APOSTASY} at the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
