From a different perspective! What If the skies are dominantly blue, The clouds smoothly glide through, And the canaries and birds of romance tweet a lullaby hush before surrendering to a purple dream leaning worries on a violet pillow of silk and serine.
In holy books it is said that God warns of a world leading figure gradually rising to power, 33 names will be attributed to him one of which is THE ANTI CHRIST…
The Bible, (old and new Testament) mentions that his identity will not be revealed until after the “Restrainer” is removed then the Anti Christ will begin exerting control over ten specific nations which were once part of the Roman Empire ( probably Europe) and then over the whole world through treaties and wars, and he will be empowered by Satan…
“The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from (out of)
This kingdom (the Roman Empire …). And another shall rise after them;
He (the Antichrist) shall be different from the first ones,
and shall subdue three kings (or nations) . . .”
(Daniel 7:24)
In one verse he is described as ‘the Assyrian’ (an area around Syria and Iraq).
“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
Only He who now restrains will do so(restrain him) until he is taken out of the way, then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroys with the brightness of his coming. The Antichrist will be empowered with miracles and lying wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:7-9).
“Then I stood on the sand of the sea.
And I saw a beast (Satan’s Antichrist)
rising up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns,
and on his horns ten crowns,
(The book of Daniel explains these represent 10 nations he will rule)
and on his heads a blasphemous name . . .
The dragon (Satan) gave him his power,
his throne, and great authority.”
(Revelation 13:1,2)
The picture you see is of an island recently rising in the red sea near Yemen, when zooming into the middle of it there appears to be a figure of weird face, I leave this with no comments else than could this be a sign of a beginning of the phase of the antichrist!
“Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye;
his (the Antichrist’s) arm shall completely wither,
and his right eye shall be totally blinded.” (Zechariah 11:17)
There is also a similarity in describing the face of the antichrist between Muslim and Christian sources, this time it is the right eye.
A SECOND Beast will Rise.
“Then I saw ANOTHER beast coming up out of the Earth,
and he had two horns like a lamb
and spoke like a dragon.
And he exercises all the authority
of the first beast (the Antichrist) in his presence,
and causes the Earth and those who dwell in it
to worship the first beast (the Antichrist),
whose deadly (head) wound was healed.”
(Revelation 13:11-12)
The coming Antichrist will not be alone. Another man, also empowered by Satan, will rule with the Antichrist. This powerful religious leader or “beast” will rise to power with the Antichrist.
“Two horns like a lamb,” tells us he will emerge with Christian credentials or doctrine, but “spoke like a dragon” tells us he will be controlled and directed by Satan. There are hints this man might even have Jewish blood. This person, along with the coming “one-world” (global) religious system he will lead, is referred to as “The Woman Who Rides the Beast” in the book of Revelation. This evil, blood-thirsty “one-world” religion appears to rise out of Rome.
“Here is wisdom.
Let him who has understanding
calculate the number of the beast (the coming Antichrist),
for it is the number of a man:
His number is 666.”
(Revelation 13:18)
Is the number 666 is a value of a name or is it something else may be related to Niburu approaching our earth…
A vision is given to Daniel showing how Alexander the Great would conquer the Medo-Persian Empire and that the antichrist would rise from one of the 4 kingdoms into which Alexander’s dominion was broken.
(The RAM is the Medo-Persian Empire)
Daniel 8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Daniel 8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
(Alexander the Great defeats the Medo-Persian empire.)
Daniel 8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
Daniel 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
(Alexander the Great’s kingdom has now been broken into 4 parts. The 4 parts were Thrace, Macedonia, Syria, and Egypt.)
Daniel 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
(Out of ONE of these 4 parts comes a “little horn” who “takes away the daily sacrifice.”)
(The kingdom, one of the 4 parts, that is toward the “south”, toward the “east” and toward the “pleasant land” is Alexander’s Syria, which is now
Syria/Jordan/Iraq)
Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east , and toward the pleasant land.
Daniel 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
This may be an indication to a meteor shower hitting earth…
Here is some of what is quoted from the prophet of Islam about the Antichrist from another perspective:
A man stranded on one of the islands of the sea. All of a sudden found a woman trailing her hair. He asked: Who she was? She answered: I am the Jassasah (an old woman). Go to that castle. So I came to it and found a man who was trailing his hair, chained in iron collars, and leaping between Heaven and Earth. I asked: Who are you? He replied: I am the Dajjal (Antichrist). Has the Prophet of the unlettered people come forth now? I replied: Yes. He said: Have they obeyed him or disobeyed him? I said: No, they have obeyed him. He said: That is better for them.
Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him). Thereupon he said:
Sahih Muslim Hadith 7034 Narrated by Anas ibn Malik
Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.
Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) said: The Last Hour will not come until the Romans land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people on Earth at that time will come from Medina (to oppose them). When they arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans will say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from among us. Let us fight them. The Muslims will say: Nay, by Allah, we shall never turn aside from you and from our brethren so that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army, whom Allah will never forgive, will run away. A third (part of the army), which will be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah’s eyes, would be killed. The third who will never be put on trial will win and they will be the conquerors of Constantinople. As they are busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, Satan will cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your families. They will then come out, but it will be of no avail. When they reach Syria, he will come out while they are still preparing themselves for battle, drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer will come and then Jesus (peace be upon him), son of Mary, descend and will lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah see him, it will (disappear) just as salt dissolves in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely. Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal will appear in my Ummah and he will stay (in the world) for forty–I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. Allah will then send Jesus, son of Mary, who will resemble Urwah ibn Mas’ud. He (Jesus Christ) will chase him and kill him. Then people will live for seven years, during which time there will be no rancour between any two persons. After that Allah will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria. None will survive on Earth, having a speck of good in him or faith in him: he will die. Even if some among you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and cause your death. I heard Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) as saying: Only the wicked people will survive and they will be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They will never appreciate good nor condemn evil. Then Satan will come to them, in human form, and would say: Don’t you respond? They will say: What do you order us to do? He will command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they will have an abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet will be blown and he who hears it will bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side. The first one to hear that trumpet will be the person who is busy in setting right the cistern meant for supplying water to the camels. He will faint and the other people will also faint. Then Allah will send or He will cause to be sent rain which will be like dew and there will grow out of it the bodies of people. Then the second trumpet will be blown and they will stand up and begin to look (around). Then it will be said: O people go to your Lord. They will be made to stand there and they will be questioned. Then it will be said: Bring out a group (of them) for the Hell-Fire. It will be asked: How much? It will be said: Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire. That will be the day that will make the children old because of its terror and that will be the day about which it has been said: “On the day when the shank will be uncovered”.
Dajjal will come from the eastern side with the intention of attacking Medina until he will get down behind Uhud. Then the angels will turn his face towards Syria and there he will perish.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5487 Narrated by AbuBakr as-Siddiq
Amr ibn Hurayth quoted AbuBakr as-Siddiq as saying that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) told them the Dajjal would come forth from a land in the East called Khurasan, followed by people whose faces resembled shields covered with skin. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
The talk of Tamim ad-Dari detained me. He transmitted it to me from a man who was on of of the islands of the sea. All of a sudden he found a woman who was trailing her hair. He asked: Who are you? She said: I am the Jassasah. Go to that castle. So I came to it and found a man who was trailing his hair, chained in iron collars, and leaping between Heaven and Earth. I asked: Who are you? He replied: I am the Dajjal (Antichrist). Has the Prophet of the unlettered people come forth now? I replied: Yes. He said: Have they obeyed him or disobeyed him? I said: No, they have obeyed him. He said: That is better for them.
I compare him with AbdulUzza ibn Qatan. He who among you will survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf (xviii). He will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and will spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! Adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him), how long will he stay on Earth? He said: For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days. We said: Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) will one day’s prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah’s apostle (peace be upon him) how quickly will he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He will come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion); they will affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He will then give a command to the sky: there will be rainfall upon the Earth and it will grow crops. Then in the evening, their pasturing animals will come to them with their humps very high, their udders full of milk and their flanks distended. He will then come to another people and invite them. But they will reject him so he will go away from them; they will have a drought and nothing will be left with them in the form of wealth. He will then walk through the desert and say to it: Bring forth your treasures. The treasures will come out and gather before him like a swarm of bees. He will then call someone in the flush of youth, strike him with the sword, cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at the distance which is generally between the archer and his target. He will then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness). It will at this very time that Allah will send Christ, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then search for him (Dajjal) until he catches hold of him at the gate of Ludd and kills him. Then a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise. It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions will then be besieged here (at Tur, and they will be so hard pressed) that the head of the ox will be dearer to them than one hundred dinars. Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions will supplicate Allah, Who will send to them insects (which will attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish as one single person. Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions, then come down to Earth and they will not find on Earth as much space as a single span that is not filled with putrefaction and stench. Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him), Jesus, and his companions will then beseech Allah who will send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they will carry them away and throw them where Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which no house of mud-bricks or (tent of) camel-hair will keep out and it will wash the Earth until it resembles a mirror. Then the Earth will be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there will grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of people will be able to eat it and seek shelter under its skin, a dairy cow will give so much milk that a whole party will be able to drink it. The milking camel will give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe will be able to drink from it, and the milking-sheep will give so much milk that the whole family will be able to drink from it. At that time Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothe (people) even under their armpits. He will take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked will survive who will commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

I see many of the signs coming to be, could it all be coincident.
What about the nature of the present conflict in the Middle East and the alliance between Syria, Iran and to a certain extent Russia and its effect on this conflict.
All of this and much more leaves us with much doubt and concerns about what is happening in the this region which is regarded as the cradle of civilization of our species and maybe that is why it is chosen to be the final zone of confrontation between our specie and its sworn enemy Satan and his Antichrist…
I hope this comparative research ignites our self awareness and encourage us to adopt spirituality in pursuit of the Inner peace we all so need.
