What does the Bible say about Arabs and Islam? Does the Bible mention Mohammed? Did the angel Gabriel really speak to him? Was he demon-possessed? Is the Koran inspired? Who was Sergius?

This article is written using the historicist interpretation of prophecy.

Who is Allah?

Evidence gathered from north and south Arabia demonstrates that MOON-god worship was active in Muhammed's day and was the dominant cult. According to numerous inscriptions, while his name was "Sin," his title was "Alilah" or "the Deity." As Calton S. Coon pointed out, "The god Ilah was originally a phase of the MOON god." The MOON god was called "Alilah" (i.e. the god) which was shortened to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used "Allah" in the names they gave their children. For example, both Muhammed's father (Abd-Allah) and uncle (Obied-Allah) had Allah as part of their names. This MOON-god Allah was morphed into the "Supreme Being." This is why Allah is never defined in the Koran. Arabs already knew who he was -- the supreme pagan MOON god in a pantheon of deities. This is why the Muslim creed is not "Allah is great" but "Allah is greatest" (of the pantheon). This is why the symbol of Islam is the CRESCENT MOON. This is why a CRESCENT MOON sits on top of their mosques and minnarets and is on flags of Islamic nations. This is why Muslims fast only during the month which begins and ends with the appearance of the CRESCENT MOON. The pagan Arabs worshipped the MOON god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the MOON god called the Kabah (the local shrine which housed numerous pagan idols); kissing the black meteorite stone; fasting in the LUNAR month of Ramadan, etcetera. Since Moslems worship their god the same way today, their god must be the same MOON god of the Sabeans-- not the Supreme God that Jews and Christians worship. But this fact is disguised by Surah 41:37 which says "Do not prostrate to Moon or Sun" and "The moon is subject to his command" (Surah 16:12). Another proof that Moslems worship the MOON god is the "Satanic verses" in the Koran (Surah 53:19-20) where Mohammed approved of the worship of three goddesses, the daughters of Allah. These were the same three daughters of the MOON god -- al-Uzza (Venus), al-Lat (crescent) and Manat (fate). The Allah of the Koran is the MOON god that Moslems unknowingly worship. Someone will argue that the "El, Eloi and Elohim" (God) of the Bible is the same as "Allah" (god) of the Koran because of the almost identical spelling and sound of the Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic. But Ilah is the name for god, not Allah, in Arabic. For instance, Surah 4:171 says, "Allah is only one Ilah (god)." Furthermore, unlike Allah, the God of the Bible has a Son, and does not wish to exterminate Jews and Christians and ban the Bible. The God of the Bible has no history of being worshipped as a MOON-god. Isaiah 14:12 mentions "Lucifer" which in Hebrew is "Hilal bin Sahar" which means "Crescent Moon Son of the Morning" in Arabic. Thus Satan is symbolized by a Crescent or Morning Star. Satan masquerades as an angel of light. Among the 99 names of Allah are "Most Proud One"(Isa. 14:13-14), "Afflicter," "The One Who Causes Death" (Destroyer) (Rev. 9:11), "Great Deceiver" (Rev. 12:9) and "Great Plotter." The Hebrew word for "curse" is "alah" (# 423 of Strong's) (see Dan. 9:11). The name "Allah" can be broken down into the Hebrew "Al" meaning "No" (#408) and "lah" meaning "Law" (#3809) or "No Law" -- the man of lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:3-4).

Who Was Mohammed?

Mohammed was a descendant of Ishmael through his son Kedar according to Muslim tradition. Mohammed was also a SINNER. In Surah 18:110 Allah commanded Mohammed, "Say I am but a man like yourselves." In Surah 40:55. Allah says to Mohammed, "Ask forgiveness of thy SIN." In Sura 48:1-2 they said to Mohammed, "Allah may forgive thee of PAST and that which is TO COME." For instance, Surah 4:3 says a Muslim can only have four wives but Muhammed had 16 wives. Muhammed was therefore an ADULTERER and RAPIST (This is why "rape" is not mentioned in the Koran). Furthermore, he was a THIEF because he robbed caravans -- on Ramadan no less! (Ibn Hisham pp.281-). He killed an estimated 3000 people, including beheading 700 Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina in 627 A.D. He was therefore a MURDERER of people who were more righteous than himself. Surah 93:7 says Mohammed was "lost" (criminal; sinning; idol-worshipper; error-prone; see also Quran 47:21). Mohammed was an IDOLATER (Sahih Bukhari vol.6 p.452). He could not perform miracles (Quran 29:49). Mohammed first thought his revelations were inspired by Satan. In fact, he attempted suicide several times because he thought he was inspired by Satan. Thus by claiming to be a prophet, he became a LIAR. The "angel Gabriel" tried to choke Mohammed three times till exhaustion in a cave. Mohammed had revelations accompanied by "epileptic fits." We believe this was Satan who "disguises himself as an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14). Therefore he was DEMON-POSSESSED (not epileptic). "If there arise among you a prophet (Mohammed), or a dreamer of dreams ... saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known (Allah), and let us serve them, Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet ... Ye shall walk after the Eternal your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice" (Deut. 13:1-4). "Though we, or an angel from heaven ("Gabriel"), preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Gal. 1:8).

Why Kiss and Pray Toward the Black Kaaba Stone?

In pre-Islamic times the Quraish tribe from which Mohammed descended were accustomed to circle the Kaaba and say "On Al-lat, Al-Uzza and Manat, the third and the others ... on their intercession of Allah may you hope." These three goddesses were mediators between the humans and the MOON -god Allah. The black stone in a metal framework was shaped like a VAGINA -- their "Creator." Arab men and women used to walk around the Kaaba totally NAKED (Quran 7:31) and then KISSED this vagina rock that fell from heaven to suck their sins (SPERM) away. The rock was supposedly originally white (Lucifer was originally righteous) but turned black by taking people's sins. In plain language, it was a sacred house of PROSTITUTION. At first Mohammed prayed in any direction (Surah 2:115). But later he taught Moslems to pray to Mecca and make a pilgrimage to Mecca in order to generate money. It was a business (see Surah 2:199). Hadith Sahih Bukhari #6819 under chapter heading "Forbidding What the Prophet Never Forbade" we read that Mohammed never forbade having SEX with the NAKED women while they were walking around the Kaaba at the time of the Hajj (pilgrimage). How shameful! Satan is this star (black meteorite) that fell from heaven (Isa. 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Acts 9 &19:23-41). One quarter of humanity prays toward this meteorite (star) and kisses it. This is idol worship and Satan worship..

No Regard For The Desire of Women (Dan. 11:37)

"Tell believing women to lower their gaze" (Quran 24:31). A Muslim woman cannot raise her face to the level of a man. A Muslim woman cannot wear garments that expose any part of her anatomy other than her eyes (Burqa). "And have two men act as witnesses; but if two men are not available, then a man and two women you approve, so that in case one of them is confused, the other may prompt her" (Quran 2:282). "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man? They replied in the affirmative" (vol.1, book 6, No. 301; narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudr). Therefore, in Muslim lands governed by Sharia, it is virtually impossible for a woman to prove she has been raped without the eyewitness testimony of another person. This is because it takes the evidence of two women to equal the testimony of one man. Furthermore, when the woman admits that she has been sexually violated, she places herself at risk of being charged with premarital sex. According to one report, as many as 75% of the women in prison in Pakistan are there because of the "crime" of being raped. An added danger to a Muslim woman who has been raped is the risk of being killed by a family member who wishes to remove the stain on the family's honor. It's called "honor killing." It can be carried out by a father or brother of the woman for merely speaking to an unrelated man or a mere rumor of a loss of virginity. Or for wearing make-up or talking to a stranger. "Female Genital Mutilation" is also practiced in Moslem countries to reduce the woman's sexual desire and thus protect her virginity. What is the punishment for adultery? Flogging with 100 stripes for men and women (Surah 24:2) and then women are confined to their houses till death claims them (Surah 4:15) but men, if they repent and amend, leave them alone (Surah 4:16). Muslim husbands are given permission to beat their wives when the wife is disobedient. "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them" (Quran 4:34). The definition of "Disobedience is to leave the house without the husband's permission, to refuse to obey the husband in bed (husband is allowed to rape wife), to speak to the husband impolitely, or to do the opposite of what he likes. All these are forms of disobedience" -- Egyptian cleric Galal Al-Khatib December 24, 2008. "Women are like fields for you, so seed them when you like" (Quran 2:223). A Muslim husband is allowed to marry four wives, and have sex with slave girls (captives from a jihad -- Zech. 14:2) (Quran 4:3). Women are seen as pieces of property to be owned and sold. Regarding inheritance: "Allah thus directs you as regards your children's (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females" (Quran 4:11).

Is the Koran Inspired?

"This [Islam] is nothing but a lie which he [Muhammad] has forged, and other have helped him do it... Fairy tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written; and they are dictated before him morning and evening." (Surah 25:4-5) "O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith." (Surah 5:101-102). There was no Arabic Bible till the 9th century A.D. so Mohammed's perceptions of Scriptural truths were garbled from hear-say. These perceptions were written on "parchments, scapula (bones), leafstalks of date palms and from the memories of men" and animals ate some parts so they were lost. What was left became the Koran. There are many internal contradictions necessitating the invalidation and abrogation of a number of verses. Later verses abrogate earlier verses when the two disagree. Even then the Koran is still a haphazard jumble of disjointed material, without order, continuity or unity of any kind. (Every version of the Koran also has a different numbering system.) This is why Moslems think the Bible has many errors in it -- because they read their garbled and confused Koran and then look at the Bible through those Koranic glasses.

Surah 41:9-12 say that the creation took eight days rather than six. Surah 7:136 and 7:59 say Noah's flood took place in Moses' day rather than a thousand years before Moses. Surah 96:1 says man was created out of a clot of congealed blood but Genesis 2 says Adam was formed from the dust of the earth. Surah 2:1-7 says Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the Kaaba in Mecca. The Bible mentions no such incident. Surah 28:48 says Haman was Pharaoh's prime minister (c. 1450 B.C.) but Esther mentions that Haman was an official in the Persian court (400 B.C.). Surah 19:23 mentions that Mary gave birth to Jesus under a palm tree alone. The Bible says no such thing. In Surah 19:27 Mary is called the "sister of Aaron" which is confusing her with Miriam 1450 years earlier. Quran 4:157-158 says Jesus wasn't killed or crucified but Judas was instead. The Gospels vehemently disagree. Islam teaches that Ishmael was the chosen son and the son that Abraham offered to God as sacrifice (Quran 37:99-113). The Bible says it was Isaac. Islam teaches that "all poets (are) inspired of Satan" (Surah 26:221-227). Yet there is poetry in the Bible. Sura 61:6 says Mohammed was the Comforter. Jesus disagreed, saying it was the Holy Spirit. The Quran 18:9 makes into real history the second century myth of seven Christian youths who were persecuted for their faith and went to sleep in a cave for 300 years and then woke up with no ill effects. In the original myth the hero is a Christian, but in the Koran the hero is a Muslim.

Should a Moslem "Fight those who do not believe in Allah (Allah is not the God of the Bible), nor in the latter day (atheists, humanists), nor do they prohibit what Allah and his apostle have prohibited (food restrictions, etc.), nor follow the religion of truth (that means Islam and applies to all non-Muslims), out of those who have been given the Book (including Jews and Christians especially), until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority (submission tax called Jizzya for those who do not believe in Muhammed and Allah) and they are in a state of subjection" (humiliate them in subjection until they become Muslim to avoid this overtaxation and humiliation daily). (Sura 9:29)?

The only unforgivable sin ("shirk") in Islam is to confess or acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior, and that God is His Father. Being an antichrist is Islam's "taweed." In order to be a Muslim you, have to deny Jesus is the begotten Son of God. All 1.8 billion Muslims are antichrists therefore. They even write on the inside and outside of their mosques that Jesus is not the Son of God and that God is not the Father of any. Sura 4:157 says, "They said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Miriam, the messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not." Sura 5:51 says,"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another." Sura 9:121 says, "Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them." Sura 19:88 says, "Those who say the God of Mercy has begotten a Son, preach a monstrous falsehood." Sura 19:30 says, "God (Allah) forbid, that he himself should beget a son." Sura 5:72 says, "Unbelievers are those that say, God is the Messiah the Son of Mary." But 1 John 2:22 says, "He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son." Islam's god requires you to send your son to die to gain eternal life. Christianity's God sent his Son to die for you so you can gain eternal life. The Mahdi of Islam is the anti-christ of Christianity. Allah of Islam is Satan of the Bible. The two religions are OPPOSITES!

Fulfilled Prophecy

There are no prophecies in the Koran. No fulfilled prophecies given as evidence of its inspiration (Isa. 46:9-10). But in the Bible, John wrote "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit" (Rev. 9:1-2)

Astronomically, the constellation Cassiopeia (Enthroned Woman) is alternately symbolized by a "Laconian Key" which opens the Bottomless Pit or horizon as stars rise up from the horizon. Historically, who is the STAR? The "STAR" that fell from heaven is SATAN because Christ said, "I beheld SATAN as lightning FALL from HEAVEN" (Luke 10:18). "How art thou FALLEN from HEAVEN, O LUCIFER ... thou shalt be brought down ... to the sides of the PIT" (Isa. 14:12-15). Furthermore, verse 11 confirms this by calling him "DESTROYER." When paganism was overthrown, Satan fell (Rev. 12:9). But Satan then opened the prison of evil spirits and inspired an Arab of Mecca in 605 A.D. named Mohammed. "For there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets ... behold I have told you before ... if they say unto you behold he (Mohammed) is in the desert (of Arabia), go not forth: behold he (the Pope) is in the secret chamber (Cardinals sealed inside Sistine Chapel whenever they vote for a new Pope), believe it not" (Matt. 24:24).

The FOUR HORNS of the GOLDEN altar (9:13) correspond to the FOUR HORNS of the shaggy goat (Dan. 8) -- two of which are lunar crescents illuminated br the sun. From Aquarius to Sagittarius, is 31 degrees over the 360. Anything over 12 degrees on each side of Capricorn is enough to give a crescent from both sides making four horns. The River Eridanus contains four bright stars (9:14) that each rotate for over 391 degrees or years (9:15) and slay one third of the zodiac (eastern Europe) using a 200-million-star army (9:16). The horses are Pegasus, Sagittarius, and Centaurus who have heads of lions (Leo, Argo and Orion). From Orion's lion mouth to Sagittarius, or the other way around, there issued "fire and smoke and brimstone" (the Milky Way) with the cannon ball being the sun (9:17-18). Leo has a serpent-like tail and Centaurus has Hydra for a tail (9:19). From 1062 when Alp Arslan crossed the Euphrates at the head of the Turkish cavalry till 1453 A.D. when the Turks conquered Constantinople is one fulfillment but there were FOUR fulfillments causing FOUR complete 360-degree rotations with about 120 degrees left over that equal one third of the zodiac conquered -- from the FOUR stars near Aries (the second empire of Medo-Persia symbolized by a ram -- Dan. 8:20) to Capricornus (the third empire of Greece symbolized by a goat -- Dan. 8:21), this is the area of the Turkish empire. Turks conquer the remaining third Roman eagle which is cleverly sliced in two by an arrow. Even so, the other two-thirds of the zodiac are busily engaged in worshipping idols (Isis and Horus of Coma; Southern Cross; Northern Cross), murder (Centaurus, Hercules, Orion, and Sagittarius caught in the act), sorcery (all constellations breathing opium vapors [the Milky Way] from Ara), fornication (Hercules and Ophiuchus kissing; the Gemini twins making love) and theft (Libra Scales of Justice unused; Serpens stealing the crown) under the cloak of night (9:20-21).

Who is the STAR? The Nestorian monk Sergius was excommunicated for heresy and immorality and then wrote the Koran before being put to death. A falling star is someone who is removed from office like Sergius. Prideaux's Life of Mohammed talks about Sergius. Who is the STAR? The Kaaba Stone is the black meteorite star that fell from heaven. Moslems kiss and caress it when they make a pilgrimage there. Who is the STAR? The keys of Kaaba were held by Mohammed's family, the House of Koreish, who for four generations were governors of Mecca. After his birth, Mohammed's father and grandfather died and he became orphaned and destitute (Gibbon 4:260). He fell from office. Mohammed was literally a FALLEN STAR (ruler). He was a PRINCE by birth of the house of Koreish, the HEIR of the RULERS of Mecca who possessed the "keys of Caaba" symbolic of their rulership. "As a young child," writes Ramon Bennett, "Mohammed was nursed by a Bedouin woman by the name of Halima. In his third and fourth years, 'The child had had numerous fits, which made Halima think he was demon-possessed' (Shorrosh, Islam Revealed, p.48). Early Moslem tradition records that when Mohammed was about to receive a revelation from Allah: 'he would often fall down on the ground, his body would begin to jerk, his eyes would roll backward, and he would perspire profusely. They would often cover him with a blanket during such episodes' (Morey, The Islamic Invasion, p.71). It was while Mohammed was in this 'trance-like' state that he received his 'divine revelations.' After the trance, he would rise and proclaim what had been handed down to him' (ibid.)" (The Great Deception, Philistine, p.43). Many biographies of Muhammed believe he suffered from epilepsy -- but this is clearly demon influence.

It took 24 years to write the Koran which has 100 chapters. The Koran preaches hatred and slavery in thought, word and deed. The Koran is a combination of Old and New Testament scriptures combined with Apocrypha and Pseudepographa writings mixed with paganism of the Arabs.

What is the KEY? Papal KEYS of St. Peter (cp. Matt. 16:19; Rev. 1:18; 3:7) came from the KEY of Janus and KEY of Cybele just as India's Brahmatma has two crossed KEYS on his tiara and just as Mithraism's KEYS symbolized the Sun-god's authority. All these religions inherited their KEYS from the Pontiff of ancient Babylon. The KEY has been the emblem of the family of Mohammed because of its role as guardian of the sacred, black Kaaba stone of Mecca. The Moorish followers of Islam displayed the KEY on their banner as they advanced across north Africa into Spain. The KEY was also engraved upon the arch of Alhambra, the Moorish palace in Granada. Furthermore, the Koran says, "Did not God give to his Legate (Mohammed) the power of heaven which is above, and the fire which is beneath? With the KEY did he not give him the title and power of a porter that he may open to those whom he shall have chosen?"What is the KEY? The "SWORD is a key to heaven and hell" (Koran).

What is the SMOKE of the PIT? One day at age 40, he entered the mouth of the CAVE of Hera (Gibbon 4:260) at the foot of Mount Hera, three miles from Mecca. He was shaken by an unseen power. A light flashed and the Angel Gabriel (Satan impersonating Gabriel) stood before him. Mohammed said "the Angel Gabriel" dictated to him the Koran in this CAVE which was the "bottomless PIT." Mohammed formulated his religious doctrines in a cave. His experiences were similar to the witch of Endor hearing the prophet Samuel, or the "voices" heard by Joan of Arc or the "visions" of Lourdes and Fatima. He ran home and told his wife (a wealthy widow named Kadijah who was 15 years older than him) he was possessed of a devil and had gone mad. She told him he was a prophet. He went into trances in which he had visions of the supposed sensual delights of Paradise, of the material torments of hell, and so on, all of which showed that he was a medium for Satan. Those who witnessed Mohammed fall into his strange trances, described him as one indwelt or possessed by genii or spirits. He wrote the Koran to imitate scripture while denying Jesus was anything but a good man. The Koran says that Noah's flood occurred in Moses' time (Sura 7:136; cf. 7:59). ; that Abraham attempted to sacrifice Ishmael, not Isaac, and that Mohammed is called the Comforter rather than the Holy Spirit. "Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends ... Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth" (Sura 5:51; 9:30). The Koran denies the inerrancy of scripture. He publicly declared himself a prophet in 610 A.D. Notice that both "little horns" of Daniel began in 606-610 A.D.

"And there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 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" (Rev. 9:2-3).

A FURNACE is a HOT PLACE such as a DESERT. Astronomically, John saw Scorpio ascending from the burning altar Ara. According to the Aztecs, Corvus is another scorpion. The Milky Way billowing up from Ara is the smoke. It is remarkable that the Milky Way smoke billows up exactly before Gemini (two witnesses of Rev. 11) and after Orion (Constantinople falling 1453 in Rev. 10) -- a perfect time sequence. But historically what is the SMOKE of the pit? Dark SMOKE covering the light is HERESY. Furthermore, if the SUN is DARKENED, all that is left in the sky is the MOON and STARS -- a popular symbol of ISLAM. Algeria, Malacca, Mauritania, Cyprus, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, etcetera, all have a CRESCENT and five-point STAR. Malaysia uses a fourteen-point star. The flags of the Arab League, Iran and the Maldives use a CRESCENT without any STAR. But the SUN is absent from all Islamic nations' flags.

Who are the LOCUSTS? In Hebrew the word for LOCUST is "ARBEH" and for Arab is "ARBI." Exodus 10:13 says, "the EAST wind brought the LOCUSTS" (on Egypt). What country was EAST of Egypt? ARABIA. Midianites (Arabs) come as LOCUSTS for multitude (Judges 6:5). "In the Bedoween romance of Antar the LOCUST is introduced as the national emblem of the ISHMAELITES.... Mohammedan tradition speaks of LOCUSTS having dropped into the hands of Mohammed, bearing on their wings this inscription, 'We are the army of the Great God.'" (Forster's Mohammedanism Unveiled 1:217). The teaching of the Koran is described as SMOKE that darkens the sun or obscures the Byzantine Emperor's influence as well as the idolatrous Eastern Orthodox Church. Out of the pit come LOCUSTS like SCORPIONS which both come from ARABIA. The swarms of Saracen or ARABIAN LOCUSTS overspread the east and partially the west part of the Roman Empire. The maps below compare the range of the desert locust to the area occupied by the Saracen Empire. Notice the close similarity.. Saracens are Children of Sarah. The Koran promises endless sensual pleasures as the reward of death in battle.

Why SCORPIONS? Being around "rebellious" "impudent" and "stiffhearted" men is like dwelling "among SCORPIONS" (Ez. 2:6). Rehoboam's reply to the deputation who wanted him to lighten the tax burden was, "I will chastise you with SCORPIONS" or impose OPPRESSIVE TAXES. In 612 A.D. Mohammed publicly proclaimed his mission to convert all so-called Christians and infidels to the Koran. These were Greek and Latin "CHRISTIANS" who were image-worshippers and idol-worshippers in practice -- who weren't "SEALED with the Holy Spirit" (Eph. 1:13) because they didn't depart "from iniquity" (2 Tim. 2:19). Moslems called them "dogs and infidels" and treated them accordingly. Arabs offered conquered peoples the choice of accepting the Koran, or of PAYING TRIBUTE MONEY, or of death by the sword. Christians could buy their liberty to continue in their own religion, but only at the cost of HEAVY TRIBUTE. This is the meaning of "as the torment of a scorpion." See Jeremiah 8:3 and Job 3:2 for examples of those who prefer death to life. Muslim oppression of Christians whom they called "dogs" included prohibition of building new churches or ringing church bells, or the use of arms; an annual "life-redemption" tax, distinctive dress, the obligation to stand deferentially in presence of any Muslim and to admit any insulting Muslim to any church. Muslims offered strong inducement to apostasy with death penalty for return to Christianity. Christian women were also terribly abused. This is the SCORPION STING. But in 762 A.D., "War was no longer the passion of the Saracens" (Gibbon) and the Abaside Caliph began to construct a new capital east of the Euphrates called Baghdad. Also the Arabs pulled along in their REAR, "SCORPION" ARTILLARY which looked like "tails of scorpions." They employed in their military operations formidable MISSILES which they styled 'SCORPIONS." These missiles were of a chemical mixture which was the forerunner of gunpowder. An Arab writer in 1249 speaks of them: "The SCORPIONS surrounded and ignited by nitrated powder, glide along like serpents with a humming noise, and when exploded, they blaze brightly and burn. Now, to behold the matter expelled was as a cloud extended through the air, which gave forth a dreadful crash like thunder, vomiting fire on every side and breaking down, burning, and reducing all things to ashes." This was known as Saracen fire -- later as Greek fire.

"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" (Rev. 9:4).

Which men had the seal of God in their foreheads? "To his Christian subjects (Nestorian Sabbath-keepers), Mohamet readily granted the security of their persons, the freedom of their trade, the property of their goods, and the toleration of their worship" (Gibbon 5:439; 390-391; 579-580). Mohammed wrote, "The sword is the KEY of heaven and hell; a drop of blood spent in the cause of God ... is of more avail than two months fasting and prayer." Unlike ordinary locusts, the Arabs did not lay waste the countryside. The Koran says, "Destroy no FRUIT TREES, nor any FIELDS of CORN, cut down no FRUIT TREES." Caliph Abu Beker ordered his Arabian officers and soldiers: "When you fight the battles of the Lord, acquit yourselves like men, without turning your backs. But let not your victory be stained with the blood of women or children. Destroy no PALM-TREES, nor burn any FIELDS of CORN; cut down no FRUIT-TREES, nor do any mischief to cattle, only such as you kill to eat ... As you go on, you will find some religious persons , who live retired in monasteries, and propose to themselves to serve God, that way: let them alone and neither kill them nor destroy their monasteries. And you will find another sort of people that belong to the Synagogue of Satan, who have shaven crowns (sun tonsure = ordained priest); be sure you cleave their skulls, and give them no quarter, till they either turn Mohammedan or pay tribute (Gibbon's Decline and Fall, ch. 51:10 or vol. 5:189-190). Compare this with the wilful destruction of the Gothic invasion in Revelation 8:7 where we saw "all GREEN GRASS burned up." Symbolically green trees signify the righteous and dry trees the wicked (Ez. 20:46-47; 21:3-4; Luke 23:31). Even "In the 16th and 17th centuries support and encouragement for Protestants and Calvinists ... were one of the fundamental principles of Ottoman policy" (Halil Inalcik, History of Islam pp. 325-329). "There would have been no Protestantism had there been no Turk" (Kenneth Oster, Islam Reconsidered, p.72).

"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. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them" (Rev. 9:5-6).

Biologically a literal locust plague lasts from April to September and scorpions are only active in five hot months. FIVE MONTHS can be interpreted as FIVE YEARS since "Fruitlessly the Arabs assailed the Byzantine capitol by land and sea for FIVE whole YEARS (673-678): but they did not succeed in taking it" (Charles Diehl History of the Byzantine Empire, p.44). Historically this locust plague would last "FIVE MONTHS" which is 5 x 30 = 150 days which means 150 years in prophecy. In 612 A.D., Mohammed proclaimed his mission. In 622, the first year of the Mohammedan calendar, the prophet fled from enemies to Medina (the Hegira) where he organized his converts into an army. In 632 A.D. Mohammed died. In 632 A.D. the war against Christendom began When Arab armies moved out of Arabia. Just as natural locusts are bred in holes in the earth, the Arabs swarmed out of the DEAD SEA area -- the water of the Dead Sea is 1,300 feet below the Mediterranean and typified the "BOTTOMLESS PIT." Under succeeding Caliphs the Arabs conquered Palestine and Syria in 637-639 A.D. Egypt by 641 A.D. All northern Africa by 690 A.D. and Spain by 713 A.D. -- all countries where locusts are known to exist naturally. Their SWIFT conquest is represented by their "WINGS." Also their cavalry had an east and west WING. Thus history gives us the years 612 to 632 for the beginning of the "locust woe" and 150 years later is 762 to 782 A.D., when the Mohammedan woe ceased its aggressive torment, having conquered another "THIRD PART" (Southern and Southeastern) of the former Roman Empire by the sword.

After their severe defeat at Tours in 732 A.D., by Charles Martel, the Caliph Almansor built Baghdad (called the City of Peace) in the year 762 A.D. as the new capital of his empire and moved from Damascus 500 miles east, and then the Saracens ceased their aggression like locusts. This was exactly 150 years after 612 A.D. when Mohammed proclaimed his mission. Cardinal Baronius says that in 761 A.D. the Christian remnant in the mountains of Spain began to roll the tide of war back upon their Saracen oppressors. It is interesting that they were defeated in Savoy, Piedmont, Milan and southern France -- the home of Waldenses and Albigenses -- since they were to hurt only corrupt Christians. In 755 A.D. the General Council of Constantinople passed a public condemnation on all images. Also in 755 A.D. a second Caliph was recognized in the West and Africa revolted. Both events occurred exactly 150 years after Mohammed received the "KEY" (9:1 -- 605 A.D.). Islam was no longer united. The Moslems never seriously harmed the Jews either. Jews profited by Moslem conquests and the Jewish golden age, since their dispersion, was their life under the Moors in Spain. In 771 A.D. -- the last year of the 150-year period from 622 -- Charlemagne began his long reign as sole ruler of France. Under him, Christian Europe became a single Empire and no longer feared an Arab menace. In 782 A.D., by the Treaty of Constantinople, the eastern Byzantine Roman Empire agreed to pay regular tribute to the Caliph of Baghdad exactly 150 years after Mohammed died and the war against idolatrous Christianity began in 732 A.D. Also in 782 A.D., Haroun Al Rashid (Caliph) was engaged in friendly correspondence with Christian rulers of Europe.

Since, "FIVE MONTHS" are mentioned twice (9:5,10) in the Fifth Trumpet, some expositors believe 300 years (150 x 2) is the full limit from 632 to 932 A.D. History bears this out. Through luxury and licentiousness the Arabs began to decline. The last Caliph of eminence was slain outside the walls of Baghdad near the Euphrates in 932 A.D. The Caliphate at Baghdad was stripped of its temporal power in 934 A.D. From the taking of Damascus or Jerusalem in 637 A.D. we add 300 years to get 937 A.D. In 936 A.D. Persia advanced on Bagdad and stripped the Caliph of his secular office of supremacy. Why not just say "ten months" instead then? Because natural locusts only appear FIVE MONTHS in the year.

On the Christian side, some desired to martyr themselves for Christ, rather than convert, but were AFRAID ("desire to die, and death shall flee"). On the Moslem side, death in battle with an infidel would ensure Paradise, so naturally Moslems sought this glorious death. But they rarely found it because their RECKLESS COURAGE combined with their prophetic destiny destroyed all opposition.

"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. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 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" (Rev. 9:7-9).

Astronomically, Cancer looks like a breastplate of iron strapped on by the ten "leg" straps. Also this is Centaur with his breastplate of iron. Sagittarius [whom Caesius claimed was "Ishmael"], Pegasus and Leo pull the chariot of Auriga with the star Capella -- the Charioteer with his Chariot superimposed (Isa. 66:15). Anciently, Leo, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor were all given the chariot symbol as well. Historically "horses" are native to Arabia. Arabs were skilled HORSEMEN who wore YELLOW TURBANS -- the Sabean "turbans" (Ez. 23:42 Fenton) ("crowns of gold"). Unlike the Goths or Romans who were clean-shaven, they wore BEARDS ("faces ... as men") and had LONG HAIR flowing to their shoulders in the days of Mohammed ("as women"). They invented the use of CHAIN ARMOUR and Mohammed declared in the Koran: "God has given coats of mail to defend you in your wars" ("breastplates as it were of iron") from whom the Crusaders learned its use. Their horses were protected by SHEET METAL, making a clattering sound in battle. Gibbon wrote, "The charge of the Arabs was not like that of compact infantry; their military force was chiefly formed of cavalry." The Arab poem "Antar" composed about the 6th century describes a typical Arab, "He adjusted himself properly, twirled his whiskers, and folded up his hair under his turban, drawing it from off his shoulders. ... Horsemen clad in iron. Pliny's Natural History 7:28 speaks of "the turbaned Arabs with their UNCUT HAIR."

"And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 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. One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter" (Rev. 9:10-12)

What is the TAIL? "The ancient and honourable he is the head and the PROPHET that TEACHES LIES he is the TAIL" (Isa. 9:15). Both Abaddon and Appolyon mean 'Destroyer." One of the titles of the Turkish Sultan was 'Hunkiar' meaning "Slayer of Men." One woe is past, and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter" (Rev. 9:12). This verse occupies about 130 years. The leader of the Moslems was Abaddon (HEBREW) and Apollyon (GREEK) because he was the destroyer of both the Jews (HEBREWS) and Christians (GREEK ORTHODOX).

The "king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23) is the entire dynasty of Caliphs whose Islamic creed is essentially warlike. They "understand dark sentences" in the Koran. In fact, Psalm 49:3-4 compares wise, understanding thoughts and "parables" to opening a "dark saying." They are not "by his own power" -- not Mohammed's own flesh and blood descendants (cp. Dan. 8:22,24). "By peace ("Salama" or Islam) he shall destroy many" (Dan. 8:25). Moslems believe it is not necessary to keep treaties with infidels and so use "crafty deceit." (Hudna) "But he shall be broken without (human) hand" (Dan. 8:25). Both the Arab and Turkish Empires collapsed as a result of internal corruption. Quarrels over the Caliphate resulting in the rival Umayyaid and Abassid Dynasties as well as Islam splitting into Sunni and Shia sections caused the collapse of the Arab Empire. "Many shall be purified and made white and tried" (Dan. 11:33) because of martyrdoms under pagan Rome and Papal Rome. Daniel 11:40-45 mentions the "King of the South" (Arab Moslem Empire) conquering "south" (Arabian Peninsula), "east" (Mesopotamia and Persia) and into the "pleasant land" (Syria and Palestine). Professing Eastern Christians were cast to the ground and stamped upon by Moslems. Between 634 and 644 A.D., the Caliph Omar was responsible for the destruction of some 4000 places of Christian worship. Christians under Moslem rule were restricted in their worship, trade, commerce, dress and travel. The Turks entered the "glorious land" but Ammon, Edom and Moab escaped the Ottoman Empire because they were wandering Arab tribesmen who already accepted Islam. Egypt "shall not escape" when in 1516-1517 the Ottoman Emperor Selim I marched into Egypt and stripped it of its wealth and moved 500 Egyptian families from Cairo to Constantinople. In 1550 the Turks made Libya pay tribute. "All the princes who were before tributary or confederate to the late Sultan of Egypt even to the most mighty king of Ethiopia without delay entered into like subjection with the Turks" (Rycaut's Turkish History1:375). Both the "King of the South" and the "King of the North" (Turkish Ottoman Empire) push at "him" -- apostate Christianity -- who doesn't regard the "desire of women" (celibate), speaks "against the God of gods" (blasphemes), honors the gods of forces or the god that protects (guardian or patron saints) as well as honouring a god hitherto unknown, with gold, silver and precious stones whenever they worship the Host or wafer-god set up in a gold or silver monstrance adorned with precious stones (Dan. 11:36-39). The Pope "shall exalt himself ... above every god" (11:36). The "King of the North" causes the banks of the Euphrates to "overflow" (Dan. 11:40). Verse 41 should read, "He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many shall be overthrown." (Crusades) Gibbon says, "Jerusalem ... soon became the theatre of nations" (Decline and Fall10:375). The "tidings out of the east and north" that "trouble him" are Russia's victories against the Ottoman Empire. From the mid-1700s onward, Russian attacks upon the northeast border of Turkey became increasingly frequent. Turkish armies and navies attacked Russia "with great fury" but unsuccessfully. In 1768, Turkish armies were badly defeated and in 1770 the Turkish navy was obliterated.

In 1774 and 1777 more defeats occurred. In 1806 the Russians seized Moldavia and Wallachia, and destroyed another Turkish fleet. In 1826, Turkey surrendered all fortresses in Asia to the Russians. Russia again defeated the Turks in the Crimean War of 1853. During the First World War, the Turks established their military headquarters in Jerusalem at Mount Zion. He planted the "tents of his army" "between the seas and the glorious holy mountain" (Dan. 11:45). General Allenby drove them out in December 1917. Turks subsequently lost Baghdad, Damascus and Aleppo in 1918 -- three capitals of the pre-Roman King of the North. Deserted by their German allies, the Turks surrendered. He came "to his end and none" helped him (Dan. 11:45). Within six years the Ottoman Emperor had been deposed, the Caliphate abolished and Turkey declared a Republic under Mustapha Kemal. From the Hegira in 622 A.D. to the surrender in 1917 A.D. was 1335 years (Dan. 12:12). From the Hegira in 622 A.D. to 1844 A.D. when the Sultan of Turkey issued a Decree of Religious Toleration for Moslems who convert to Christianity was 1260 days (Dan. 12:7). From 622 A.D. till 1912 A.D.when the Balkan War occurred that greatly weakened Turkey is 1290 years. From 634 A.D. when the Caliph Omar, who conquered Jerusalem and established the Arab empire, began to rule, to 1924 when the Islamic Caliphate was abolished was 1290 years (Dan. 12:11). From 632 A.D. when the Caliphate was established to 1922 when the Turkish Ottoman Empire came to an end with the abdication of the Sultan was also 1290 years.

Like a "wild ass" (Gen. 16:12), Ishmael (Arabs) was given "the wastelands as his home" (Gen. 28:8; Mal. 1:2-3) and "searcheth after every green thing" (Job 39:5-8). Green represents Paradise to Muslims. Mohammed is said to have worn a green cloak and green turban, and his writings are full of references to his favorite color -- green. Sura 76 says believers in Allah in Paradise wear fine green silk. It is interesting that the "pale horse" ("chloros" -- Green) has power over one fourth of the earth (Rev. 6:8). The world population is 6,784,003,735 (6.8 billion) and the Muslim population worldwide is 1.82 billion. Islamic nations also cover one quarter of the earth.

The fourth beast of Daniel 7 is the same as the first beast of Revelation 13. It is Islam. The two beasts of Revelation 13 are the beast with seven heads and ten horns (Islam taking over Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece) and the beast with two horns (Mohammed succeeded by his Sunni Caliphs and Shia Imams culminating in Mahdi). The head that died is Muhammed. But it was healed by Abu Bakr. The seven heads and ten horns of Islam are both contemporaneous and successive. Successively the Caliphates were 1.) Muhammed and the Rightly Guided Caliphs (632-661), 2.) Umayyads of Syria (661-749), 3.) Abbasids of Baghdad (749-932), 4.) Buyids of Baghdad (932-1055) and Fatimids of Egypt (909-1171), 5. Seljuk Turks of Baghdad (1055-1258) and Ayyubids of Egypt (1169-1260), 6.) Mongols of Baghdad (1258-1350) and Mamluks of Egypt and Syria (1260-1517), 7.) Ottomans of Turkey (1342-1924). Notice that TEN Islamic Caliphates reigned during SEVEN successive Caliphate periods. Revelation 13:18 states, "Let him reckon the multitude of men belonging to the beast, for it is a multitude of men, and his multitude is IN THE NAME OF ALLAH." (Bism-alla). Thus the green headband and green armband and green flag all have 666. Furthermore, in Islam, 666 is considered to be a holy number. In Revelation 17 a wealthy harlot sits on this beast with seven heads and ten horns. Who is the harlot? The House of Saud which is fabulously wealthy due to her "wine" of petroleum fornication (17:2). She has prostituted herself to the west and the west is "drunk" or "addicted" (17:2). The oil money is used to fund militant Islamic terrorist organizations (Hezbollah & Hamas) which then kill Jews and Christians ("saints") (17:6). Many Arab neighbors "hate" (17:16) the House of Saud because she has partnered with the "Great Satan" (U.S.) -- oil for protection -- and we have protected her with our military. Soon they will "burn her with fire" (17:16). Many Riyadh skyscrapers remind us of ancient Babylon and its tower making the name "Mystery Babylon the Great" (17:5) very appropriate. Most of Saudi oil (90%) comes from seven massive oil well fields or "seven mountains" (Rev. 17:9) (Ghawar 5,000,000 barrels daily, Safaniya 960,000, Abqaiq 650,000, Berri 400,000, Zuluf 500,000, Marjan 400,000 and Abu Sa’fah 150,000) (Matthew R. Simmons, Twilight in the Desert, p. 89). Furthermore, Mecca is situated on seven literal mountains: Jabal Thugbah, Jabal Ishfa, Jabal Laban, Jabal Khashrab, Jabal Thawr, Jabal Arafat, and Jabal Ismar. (Istanbul, Turkey's capital, also is built on seven hills. The first hill contains Hagia Sophia Mosque. On the second hill is the Nuruosmaniye Mosque. The third hill is now occupied by the Bayezid II Mosque to the south and the Süleymaniye Mosque to the north. The fourth hill has the Fatih Mosque. On the fifth hill we find the Mosque of Sultan Selim. On the sixth hill are to be found the districts of Edirnekapi and Ayvansaray. The seventh hill extends from Aksaray to the city defense walls and the Marmara. It is a broad hill with three summits producing a triangle with apices at Topkapi, Aksaray, and Yedikule.) The seven kings are the seven Caliphates mentioned above, of which five are fallen (Umayyads through Mongols) and one is (Ottoman Turks) and the other not yet come (the last Caliphate led by al-Mahdi for seven years). Muslims buy many companies and make it very clear they won't do business with non-Muslims (can't buy or sell without mark). Revelation 20:4 mentions "them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands" which is the method of execution used by Islam. Sura 8:12 says, "Strike off their heads."

The Mahdi will sign a seven-year Peace Treaty with Israel but will break it in the middle (Dan. 9:27). Perhaps the treaty will be "Submit to Islam or go without oil" since "The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man" (Isa. 33:8). Western democracies need to avoid this intoxicating wine of this petro-dollar harlot since it supports Islamic regimes who murder Jews and Christians. Leviticus 26:16 indicates that the "terror" is "behalah" #928 which sounds like "beh Allah." Islam has absorbed Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece as God said it would (Daniel 7; Rev. 13:2). The Roman Empire never absorbed the three previous beasts. Islam was "different" from previous empires because it was religious not just political (Kaliph & Pope were both religious for 1260 years). Furthermore, Islam has TEN rulers (toes or horns) (Dan. 2; Dan. 7; Rev. 13). Mohammed had TEN disciples -- his Council of TEN: Abu Bakr Sadiq, U'mar ibn al-Khattab, Uthan bin Affaan, Ali Ibn abi Talib, Abdur-Rahman bin Aawf, Sad ibn Abi Aaqqas, Said ibn Zayd, Abu Ubaydah bin Jirrah, Talhah ibn Abdur Ubaydullah, and Zubayr bin Al-Awam. The first THREE Caliphs (successors of Mohammed), which were THREE of Mohammed's Council, are not recognized by the Shia sect of Islam, because they were not related to Mohammed. They are: 1. Abu Bakr Saddiq, 2.U'mar ibn al-Khattab and 3.Uthan bin Affaan. They were chosen by the strong majority sect of Islam -- the Sunnis (strong iron 90%). But "there came up among them another little horn before which there were THREE of the first horns plucked up by the roots" (Dan. 8:7). This was Ali and his Shia branch (weak clay 10%) which nullified the legitimacy of the previous THREE Caliphs who were not related to Mohammed by blood (see also Dan. 7:7-8, 21-26). "A divided kingdom" (Dan. 2:41). "They mingle ("arab") but do not adhere to one another" (Dan. 2:43). Another fulfillment of the ten contemporaneous horns will come: Psalm 83:6-9 actually names them: Edom, Ishmaelites; Moab; Hagarenes; Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistines, Tyre, Assyria and Lot. "Do to them as you did to Zeba and Zalmuna" (Ps. 83:11) when Gideon (a type of Messiah) slew them "and took away the ornaments (Heb. "saharon" or crescents) that were on their camels' necks." (Judges 8:21) just as Messiah will remove the crescents from the Moslem minnarets and Mosques when he returns. The ten contemporaneous horns may be the ten nations drawn up following the defeat ("deadly wound") of the Ottoman Empire by the British after World War One in 1920-22. They were Basrah, Baghdad, Mosul, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey Persia (Iran) and Egypt. Under British mandate Basrah, Baghdad and Mosul were later consolidated ("three horns uprooted") into provinces of Iraq. This agrees with Daniel in that one "little horn" (British) subdues three. Interestingly, the ruler of Iraq is now the U.S. president! That could be very significant! Babylonian and Medo-Persian and Greek Empires became Iraq, Iran, Turkey,Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, etcetera. Shiahs consider their Imams to be infallible, sinless spiritual guides. Further, the "twelvers" of the Shia branch believe this divine-like nature to be continued to the present day through their 12th Imam -- the Hidden Imam -- the Mahdi -- "like a man" but not human -- divine. How else could he be alive after 1200 years? Mahdi is the Antichrist. Thus he can sit in the "Temple of God" (2 Th. 2) which is where the Dome of the Rock is located. The Mishnah refers to the solid rock structure as the "Foundation Stone" upon which the Ark of the Covenant was secured. This is the rock housed by this Dome. Blasphemy is inscribed on the walls of this Dome of the Rock. Therefore this structure is the Abomination standing in the Holy Place (Matt. 24:15), so Antichrist must be Moslem. He sits in the Dome of the Rock. He "changes times and laws (Sharia Law & Moslem Calendar). He denies Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 2:22). He denies that Jesus was God made flesh (2 John 1:7; 1 John 4:2-3; cp. Luke 1:30-35) according to the Quran 4:157-159 (Isa wasn't crucified), 6:101 (How can Allah have a Son when he has no consort?), 4:171 (Jesus was only an apostle of God ... for God is only one God; and far from his glory is it to beget a Son). Shia Islam's "promised one" is the Antichrist or "False prophet" of the Bible. Muhammed b. Hasan 12th Imam, was born 872 A.D. ("the beast was" -- 17:8) but his body was never found. Legend says he never died. He has been in "hiding" for the last 1200 years ("is not" -- 17:8) but will reappear as al-Mahdi ("shall ascend from the pit" -- 17:8) or "Master of the Age" and be cast into hell fire (17:8).
