My first book on Bible prophecy, "Daniel is out of Chronological Order," was written in 1982. It detailed how Scripture predicted that Islam would be the final enemy of the Jews and the Church, followed shortly by the Lord Jesus appearing in the sky. Pretty obvious now, but back in 1982, that was pretty radical thinking, so I might as well have been writing in Swahili. At the time, most prophecy gurus were absolutely positive that the USSR was the final beast and that antichrist would be one Pope or another, LOL.
Over the next 20 years, five more Skolfield books on Bible prophecy were published, but with decreasing antagonism from the church because what those books predicted began happening right before people’s eyes and could not be denied.
Among other concepts, it was now scripturally provable that the Leopard-Bear-Lion beast of Revelation 13 was ISLAM and they serve the dragon, Satan, the only uncertainty being, who or what were the 10 horns? Well first off, they could be the 10 Islamic states surrounding Israel, but Daniel usually identifies "horns" as rulers so we should look at the possibility that the 10 horns of Revelation 13 are 10 Islamic rulers.
Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast 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."
There have been Nine Historic Califates in the Leopard-Bear-Lion beast, you can check this on Wikipedia if you like . . .
1.1 Rashidun, 632–661 1
1.2 Umayyads, 7th–8th centuries
1.2a The Caliphate in Hispania1
1.3 Abbasids, 8th–13th centuries
1.4 Fatimids, 10th–12th centuries 1
1.5 Shadow Caliphate, 13th–16th centuries 1
1.6 Ottomans, 16th–20th century
1.7 Sokoto, 19th century
1.8 Ahmadiyya Caliphate, 1908-Present
1.9 Khilafat Movement of, 1920
The Caliphate movement ended in 1924. But now, Islam under ISIS is trying once again to establish a worldwide Islamic Caliphate. If they are successful, they would be the tenth!! The 10th Horn of Islam, the Leopard-Bear-Lion beast that has been killing Jews and Christians ever since the days of Muhammad.
Revelation 20:3 "I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped (Islamic) the beast, neither his image (the present jihad), neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands."
Doesn’t fit your doctrine? Too bad, that’s what ISIS is doing right now in Syria and Iraq, raping, murdering, beheading and wiping out the little Christian villages. If you are not praying every day for our dying brethren over there, you should truly be ashamed.
And when the Two Witnesses (the Jewish people in the Gentile church) shall have finished their testimony (after 1948-1967), the Islamic Jihad that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Sound right? Isn’t that what you are seeing right now? Of course, so like it or not, that’s reality.
