Islam tells of a deceiver arising called the Dajjal, whom Muslims tend to equate with the Beast that rises from the sea in Revelation 13:1-10. Whereas they tend to use the term Dabbatul-Ard for the Beast that comes out of the earth in Revelation 13:11. While both are 'antichrists,' the False Prophet of Revelation is the final Antichrist, consistent with 1 John 4:1-3. Do biblical and Islamic prophecies point to the time of the greatest tribulation in history coinciding with the reign of these beasts? Do Islam and the Bible tell of any who will be spared, "from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth"? (Revelation 3:10). Will gold be valuable after the start of the great tribulation? Might the Beast and Antichrist use wealth to gain support? Will 666 use Artificial Intelligence and digital/electronic currencies, like a CBDC, to control buying and selling? Why might gold and silver become worthless for a time? Will the European King of the North defeat the King of the South of Islamic lands? Do the Bible and Nostradamus point to Turkey betraying the King of the South, who some may consider to be the Imam Mahdi? Do Greco-Roman private prophecies tell of cross-bearers persecuting those who do not wear crosses? What did Herbert W. Armstrong say was the seal by the angel for the 144,000? Have Greco-Roman Catholic and Protestant leaders declared that the cross is their mark? Did the Cathari, Sir Isaac Newton, and others point to the cross as the 'mark of the beast'? What is the 'Chrislam Cross'? Did Pope John Paul II warn of an invasion by Islam into Europe in this millennium? Did Anna Katrina Emmerich point to a persecuting rider on a white horse with others killing people who do not wear crosses? Could a Habsburg be involved in the defeat of Muslims? Is a prophetic naval battle in the Mediterranean coming? Will the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom be defeated and conquered? What did 'Zachary the Armenian' prophesy? What lands does the Muslim Brotherhood want? Will there be a militaristic confederation of nations in the Middle East and North Africa? Dr. Thiel address these issues and more in this fourth part of a multi-part sermon series.
