SIMPLE OBSERVATIONS PROVE IT
Understanding the gravity of my conclusions, it is with absolute sobriety that I declare that this book will establish the fact that Islam is the religion of the Antichrist. I’m sure that will be a difficult pill for many people to swallow. But a simple observation regarding you doubters will prove my point.
How often do you find people who want to mess with Islam? Doesn’t it seem to be an easier position to point to the finger at the Roman Empire, which has persecuted Christians in the past but which doesn’t even exist any longer? How often do you hear that the European Union is the beast of the Book of Revelation? To such, I have but one challenge: Truth always stands against the tide of evil. To speak it and to fight for it is never comfortable. Standing against the Antichrist spirit is always risky. When you expose it, you risk death. Ask yourself, what would be the most uncomfortable thing to expose today, the European Union and the Catholic Church as the Antichrist and the Great Whore, or Islam? One can expose the Catholic Church and the European Union until they are blue in the face, and no one will berate them. Islam on the other hand, is a very different matter. Whenever we speak about Islam, there is massive pressure to pre-qualify our every statement. Objecting to Islam always brings controversy and outcries—even from non-Muslims who have never even really experienced Islam. We hear claims that Islam means “peace” and whoever criticizes it is characterized as a racist bigoted Islamophobe. Millions demonstrate when the Pope makes a simple comment. This is the very Pope that many Evangelicals mistakenly point to as leader of the Harlot of Babylon. Yet he often has shown more courage than many Evangelicals when shining the light of truth on Islam.
Muslims are responsible for the most powerful leader in the world, the president of the United States of America, George W. Bush, to give homage to Allah by proclaiming that Allah is the same God that Christians worship. Muslims think this statement brings their dreams of the Islamization of the West even closer than ever—especially when George Bush says that Islam is “the religion of peace.” This, from a Christian president who should know very well that the Antichrist spirit is the one who “by peace will deceive many.” Even many conservative radio and television talk show hosts object to calling Islam a violent religion, yet feel free to equate the Bible with violence. The Western commentators say that the Islamic world simply needs to return to its own great and peaceful religious heritage. They say that all Muslims must jump on the bandwagon to fight that tiny minority who hijacked this loving religion. Imagine how I feel as a former Muslim to hear some ignorant Western commentator tell me that Islam means “peace.” Yeah! and someday a unicorn riding on a cotton candy rainbow will come and take us all to Michael Jackson’s Neverland where we will all live together in unity. Islam is peace? It brings an instant Fatwa against its critics, it threatens the stability of the entire globe, it infiltrates the West using oil wealth, and attempts to change our laws and constitution. Yet all of this was predicted in the Bible. Islam is the “peaceful religion” that ruthlessly persecutes the Church and the Jews, and even rules all of the landmass of every previous Biblical empire—the Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and much of the Roman. Islam as a world power was wounded and appeared to be nearly dead. Yet it is now rising from the dead and is doing so with great speed. Islamic terror does not simply emanate from rag-tag organizations, but also from Islamic nations and mini-states within states. Today we have Islamist rule and influence in Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, and that phony state of psychosis which is called Palestine. Islam is moving quickly to topple Pakistan in order to gain nuclear missiles. It is attempting to topple Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, and to gain political inroads in Turkey, where an Islamist government is already in place.
It is my prayer that this research will open your eyes to see and understand what convinced me that the Bible, unlike any other sacred text known to man, is indeed the very Word of God. And if you are a Muslim who is reading this, by the time you finish this course, you will either hate me or thank God that you read this book. But I hope you realize that I am not the source of this manual—I simply borrowed much of this wisdom from the oldest book ever written, the Bible. From the Bible, I was able to recognize that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is an expected certainty of things we cannot prove, but has enough evidence for the future that we do not yet see. This evidence will give us complete assurance that we have wisely chosen the narrow path.
KNOCK KNOCK
Just come in. Have a seat. Care for a slice of apple pie? It’s my favorite—it reminds me of America. My American mother used to make it when she was held against her will for 35 years in the Jordanian and then the Palestinian (not Israeli) occupied territory, which was the Biblical Judea. She always made a point to remind us of her country of origin. She risked her life many times attempting to escape back to her home. We were the only kids that ate American apple pie in our village. I still love it. It will always remind me of my mother’s desire and prayer for freedom.
Buckle up. Let’s take this journey together. Let me tell you what I discovered and why I changed my mind. Let me tell you why what sounds solid to many at times is, in reality, sinking sand.
I read the Bible alone, and prayed asking God for guidance, and then I believed. When I decided to find a church, I began to see that when it comes to many issues, there is a difference between traditional Christianity and the Bible. There is a world of Christians awaiting the coming of their Messiah, yet with only a glimpse of what He will do when He comes, or what we ought to do while He tarries. “For the revelation awaits an appointed time, it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.” (Habakkuk 2:3)
My friend, Islam has risen again after decades of being dormant, and boldly challenges Christianity with its creed “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger.” People demonstrate by the millions when the Pope makes a statement that “Islam must never be propagated through violence.” They object that Islam is peace, yet they express this objection through violence. Having been born in Bethlehem of Biblical Judea, I must admit I never knew Christ and was raised to persecute Him and His people. All that time, I claimed, as a Muslim, to believe in Him. After all, to us He was a prophet of Allah.
Reading the Bible in 1993, I began to see not only the trouble within my soul, but with the West. I saw how we Muslims were again able to gain a foothold by crossing through your fortification with a Trojan Horse we called “peace” in an attempt to change your very foundations and constitution. I can see that Christians in the West lack the belief in their Bible and, unlike Elijah the prophet, whom every believer should emulate, they are afraid to challenge the prophets of Baal. Rather they fear name-calling and will not stand up and make their case from the Bible. While many attempt to defeat Islam through secularizing and moderating them, few will try the wisdom of old—the unchanging Word of God. Why not use what works? Today, millions of Muslims are finding transformation through the oldest tried method—conversion to Christianity. I myself was one of those who were convicted by my enemy’s book—the Bible. I have become one of the remnant out of 1.3 billion Muslims and 2 billion claiming Christians, and like Elijah the prophet, I refuse to bow down to Baal. Just as John the Baptist “cried in the wilderness—prepare ye, for The Day of the Lord is at hand. Make straight the path…” (Isaiah 40:3)
So I invite you now on a journey into shocking contents that will change your life forever. Here you will find the results of my search for the truth. Here you will find an amazing amount of extensive research done regarding the subject of the Bible, how to interpret it, it’s warning about evil, and what lies ahead regarding the rise of the harlot religion. Yes this is Futurology 101. Here we will study not only Bible prophecy, but also the Islamic beliefs regarding their own version of the End-Times, so that you may see these things as I sa
w them—through the Eastern eyes of a Muslim convert. I promise that you will see the ancient prophecies of the Bible in a new way that you had never considered before. After years of deep study of the Bible, I have assembled ample evidence for what I am about to say. I have prepared this detailed work, if I may say the best of my life, to show how, in the end, the truth will prevail and defeat the claim made by modern prophets of Baal that “there is no god but Allah.” The trouble with Islam is not that Muslims are going back to fundamentalism and rising with violence, pride, and aggression, nor is it a problem of God forgetting to forewarn Christians. Rather, the problem is that the Church has fallen away and has ignored what the Bible says regarding its End-Times purpose and the rise and fall of Islam. You heard it right—the Bible has much to say regarding this pandemic the West calls radical Islam. I simply call it what it is—Islam.
This diary has been written to infuse you with the facts of what is to come—the rise of fundamental Islam and its fall and utter destruction. But before that day comes, we need to respond to Islam and urge a remnant of Muslims who are pre-ordained for salvation to come out of it.

Challenging Prophecy Analysts
Speaking to an audience of several of the most prominent prophecy authors in Dallas, Texas, I asked a question, “Besides the argument of whether Magog is Russia or not, can you name any literal references in the Bible to a nation that God destroys in the end-times that is not Muslim?”
I paused, waiting for someone to rise to answer the question. “No one is raising their hands. Is it because you can’t find any?” Giving them all one last chance to answer this question. Yet, all of them failed to name a single nation that Jehovah-God will destroy that is not a Muslim nation. I know you might think of some that you picked up from current or old tradition, but please hold on, we will examine all of these in great detail.
As I speak at numerous churches, I always ask the same question, yet no one has been able to produce a valid response. Thus far, everyone I know who has tried was eventually convinced they did not have an answer. I hope I have gotten your attention! So why has the West missed this all along? Is it a lack of Scripture verses? This is hardly the case here. Is this interpretation solely mine? Again, I don’t believe so. Many very prominent Christian leaders and scholars down through the years have written about the prominent role of Islam in the last-days. Their names are included in Chapter 70. So why should you be excited about this? Well, read on.
THE BEAUTY OF KNOWING THE FUTURE
Can you imagine living at the time just prior to Jesus’ first coming? Being there and knowing well the correct interpretation of ancient prophecies? Or can you imagine being told by Daniel the prophet that a particular star would point you to the coming King of Kings? You would know what to prepare and how to be ready for the coming Messiah. Perhaps you could be one out of a handful of people to go down to Bethlehem and see the king lying in the manger. You might say that these events have come and gone. Well? What about His second coming? Would you like to know how to properly interpret the signs of His second coming? Maybe you don’t even believe in a second coming. What you will find in this diary is overwhelming evidence. In the end, you will have one of the following choices to make: 1.) either the prophets of old had been very lucky and perfectly guessed the future, 2.) or there is a God and the prophets recorded man’s future destiny. It is this challenge I present to my enemies which demands a verdict. It is for this reason that I follow the God of the Bible alone, and no other god. Go ahead; try to refute my points here—if you can.
CHRIST FIGHTS MUSLIM NATIONS
Even among so many Christians who claim to be experts on the subject of prophecy, I find as I question them on so many parts of the Bible, they actually lack understanding of many of the most important portions of Biblical prophecy. The most amazing prophecies in the Bible are hardly ever discussed today. In every portrayal of Christ’s return to the earth, He is fighting a nation that today is Muslim. Try to imagine how I felt when I read Habakkuk 3, which says that in the last-days, God, the Holy One, would actually come to the earth on a mission to execute vengeance on Teman (Arabia) and Cushan (Sudan). “I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of Midian in anguish” (Habakkuk 3:7). Here Christ fights in battles against Arabia, Sudan and Somalia—all Muslim nations. I had to ask myself, if Allah and the God of the Bible are one and the same, why then does the Bible consistently portray God as being on the side of Israel and against the Muslims? As to the question that I asked earlier, “what does the Lord do when “He comes riding on the cloud?” the answer is found in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 19: He will come to Egypt to execute vengeance; “See Jehovah rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.” I appeal to the West; why are no prophecy teachers teaching this? Allah, the idol of Egypt and all the crescents on the tops of the mosques will shake and tremble. Indeed at this point, the world will proclaim as the song says, “there’s no God like Jehovah.” You might think, oh well, so what? What is so important about the fact that Jesus will deal with Egypt? He will judge many nations, even the whole world. Just hit the pause button on your Western presuppositions for a while. Again, in Isaiah I read that “the Lord, Jehovah Almighty would lop off the boughs of the ‘great cedar’ [Antichrist] with great power and ‘Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.’” (Isaiah 10:34) When I read this (in 1993), then I knew that Hezbollah (the Party of Allah) would gain a foothold in Lebanon. Today they have infested the whole nation. From a Muslim perspective, members of Hezbollah are faithful and holy warriors who are bent on destroying what they believe to be the evil nation of Israel. Yet the Bible teaches that in the Last-Days, Jesus Himself will fight against, and destroy, these anti-Israel forces from Lebanon. Again, I asked myself how could the Bible have nailed it so accurately so long ago? After listening to so many Westerners’ view of Biblical prophecy, I realized they have it all wrong when they say that Christ will fight a coalition of European nations. Please don’t assume by this that I am judging Western analysts. I had a much bigger log in my own eye because as a Muslim I was always taught that God Almighty would remain in heaven forever. In no way would He ever come down to the earth. It is far too beneath our pride-filled Allah and his dignity to do so. At least Western Christians understood that God would visit the earth. In Psalm 144:5-6, I read the following: “Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.” God will come down to the earth and touch the mountains? How does He touch mountains? He comes for war “Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.” Jesus will return to fight for the Jewish people and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem: “So shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.” (Isaiah 31:4) Allah never said that he would come down to the earth. Only Christ who claimed to be God promised to physically return. Yet, in 1993 this thinking was blasphemy to me. Not only was I taught that Allah would never stoop so low as to come down to the earth, but I was also taught that Allah hates the Jews. But as I continued reading the Bible, I discovered that the Lord will judge the nations specifically based on their treatment of the Jewish people: “I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel. For they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.” (Joel 3:2) This is the answer to the second question I asked Christians: What is the reason for Jesus to judge these nations? The answer was right there in my face—He judges them based on their treatment, just or unjust, of the Jewish people and for a specific event “because they divided up my land.” Indeed they have created a religious Islamic state of psychoses they have called Palestine. The language was inescapable and it was also obvious to me that passages such as these were speaking about the Israel of today. Israel has been sliced into two states and even now “Palestine” is divided between the West Bank run by the P.A. (Palestinian Authority) a
nd Gaza which I call “Hamasistan.”
It is issues like these, and verses that lay dormant, or not properly explained in Biblical commentaries, that I deal with extensively in this book. There are hundreds of verses and issues that have never been properly addressed by the Christian Church. I asked myself, why would Jehovah stand with Israel while Islamic tradition claims that in the Last-Days, Allah will appoint the very trees and rocks to cry out that “There is a Jew hiding behind me, come O faithful Muslim, come O servant of Allah, come and kill him”? Not a single male Jew will be left alive. However, I could not deny the fact that the Bible portrays Jesus the Messiah as returning to fight nations that come against Israel. In numerous passages, he actually confronts them by name. Even in Joel 3, where we find the judgment of the nations for dividing Israel, we read: “Now what have you against me, O Tyre and Sidon [Lebanon] and all you regions of Philistia [Gaza]; Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.” (Joel 3:4) It couldn’t be more clear! It was as if Jesus himself was speaking directly to Hezbollah (Tyre and Sidon) and Hamas (Philistia) and challenging them regarding their blood-lust against the Jewish people. Their fight against Israel is in reality a declaration of war on the King Himself.
