Wrong About The End Times?
Q. Lately I have heard a lot about a theory that Islam is the religion that will dominate in the last days and the Catholic Church is not the one world religion.
A new book coming out seems to have given proof that “the West has been wrong in our Western Views and the Bible is a Jerusalem-Centric book written about the Middle East”.
I was thinking if we’re wrong on the EU and the Catholic church then what else are we wrong on? Have your heard and looked into this theory on the last days?
A. Someone once said that as humans we don’t see the world the way it is. We see the world the way we are. As part of the Western World we have a western perspective. But as I’ve been teaching for nearly 2 years now, the Roman Empire also had an Eastern leg, Constantinople was its capitol and was also known as a city on 7 hills, and the Islamic Mahdi is described in ways that make him appear remarkably similar to the anti-Christ. Both will come as peace makers in a time of chaos, both will have 7 year reigns, a one world government and a one world religion, both will try to destroy the Jews, and on it goes.
I don’t look at this as being wrong in the past, but as having things in clearer focus now that we’re closer to the end. I’ve also said that the only way to be 100% certain of our interpretation of prophecy is to wait till it happens and say, “Oh, that’s what God meant.” Paul said that now we see as though through a darkened glass, but then we’ll see clearly. (1 Cor 13:12)
