The Fallen have no use for humanity. Those who serve them willingly are just useful idiots.
After a decisive victory by the Antichrist over the forces of Islam, the Psalm 83/Daniel 11 war, Muslim eschatology becomes irrelevant. We don’t need to worry about identifying the Mahdi because there will never be a Mahdi. In our view, Allah, Inc., created Islam for one purpose only: To build an army for a war that validates the Antichrist’s claim to be the prophesied savior of Israel.
That army will be sacrificed by its creators; its faithful jihadis willingly slaughtered by their hellish masters to put the Antichrist on the Temple Mount as Israel’s false mashiach.
If the Church is still here when this happens, how will American Christians receive such a man? Evangelicals typically view strong Israeli leaders in a very positive light. If we’re still on earth, conservative American Christians might even help elevate a man perceived as the savior of Israel to the status of a world leader—which is his ultimate destiny, of course, if only for a little while.
But the Dominionist strain of Christianity, which ignores the Antichrist in its faulty interpretation of end-times prophecy, is working toward a Christianized version of global jihad. Based on an incorrect reading of Psalm 110:1, some Dominionist teachers believe Christ is stuck in heaven until Christians make His enemies His footstool. They believe this can only be accomplished by literally taking over the world.[1]
The apostolic-prophetic movement, dubbed the New Apostolic Reformation, might just welcome a victorious Israeli military leader as Christ incarnate, a fulfillment of their expected Manifest Sons of God. Since the self-proclaimed apostles and prophets leading this movement claim the authority of their biblical forebears, which includes the men who wrote the New Testament, they believe they are free to mold Scripture as needed to make their doctrine fit current events.[2]
Now, consider the world’s reaction to the next event in the chronicle of the wars of Antichrist:
And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.
Daniel 11:45 (ESV)
After smashing the Muslim coalition and establishing his bona fides as the mashiach of Israel, the Antichrist sets up his government somewhere between the Mediterranean coast and Jerusalem. But he meets an unexpected end, perhaps by assassination. So, how could this guy be the Antichrist if he’s killed before he commits the “abomination that causes desolation” by desecrating the Temple and declaring himself a god? We return to the Revelation of John:
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
Revelation 13:1–4 (ESV, emphasis added)
The apparently miraculous healing of the Antichrist’s head wound will amaze the world and convince millions, if not billions, of his divinity.
And because you’re paying close attention, you noticed the chilling parallel here with Jewish eschatology. Mashiach ben Yosef is expected to die in the war with Gog of Magog. Then one of two things happens: Mashiach ben David arrives, kills the enemy leader with the breath of his mouth, and brings Mashiach ben Yosef back to life, or Mashiach ben Yosef is resurrected, becomes Mashiach ben David, and destroys Gog to end the war.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but when Mashiach ben Yosef is miraculously healed, it will confirm that Mashiach ben David is the Antichrist.
The sad irony is that the rabbis are partly right, except they missed Mashiach ben Yosef when He arrived. He’s already been here—Jesus, son of Mary and Joseph. We’re just waiting for His return as the conquering Son of David.
In some Jewish traditions, Mashiach ben David then goes on to purify Jerusalem and Israel. If the Israeli Antichrist theory is correct, this has disturbing implications. Purification includes removing non-Jews from Jerusalem. It is not our intent to cast aspersions on our Jewish brothers and sisters, but the Antichrist’s bloody war on the saints, prophesied in Daniel 7:25, Daniel 8:24, and Revelation 13:7–10, will happen at some point. This seems to be the most likely place in the prophetic timeline.
The lessons of history aren’t always pleasant, but if we take the time to study and learn, they’re usually instructive. The final break between early Christians and their Jewish neighbors in Judea didn’t occur in the first century, as we might assume. Despite the persecution of the early church by the Sanhedrin, Jewish Christians, which is to say most Christians for the first hundred years or so after the Resurrection, considered themselves part of Jewish society. Many were still members of their local synagogues, differing from their friends and neighbors only in that they knew that Messiah had come, and was coming back.
That all changed during the rebellion against Rome led by Simon bar Kokhba.
The Bar Kokhba revolt began in AD 132. Bar Kokhba was hailed as the mashiach by the prominent Rabbi Akiva, still considered one of the most heroic and beloved figures in Jewish history. Bar Kokhba was born Simon ben Kosiba; bar Kokhba (“son of the star”) was a messianic claim based on his supposed fulfillment of the prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor:
I see him, but not now;
Numbers 24:17 (ESV)
I behold him, but not near:
a star shall come out of Jacob,
and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;
it shall crush the forehead of Moab
and break down all the sons of Sheth.
Christians in Judea wouldn’t acknowledge a mortal man as the Messiah and refused to fight for bar Kokhba. He punished them with confinement and death. And that led to a break between Jews and the church that hasn’t healed to this day.
In the aftermath of his disastrous rebellion, he was derisively called bar Koziba (“son of the lie”). Despite some stunning early success against Rome, once the emperor Hadrian got serious and sent his best generals to put down the rebellion, more than half a million Jews were killed. Judea was depopulated, Jerusalem was destroyed, and the land was renamed Syria Palaestina—Palestine. The net result of bar Kokhba’s rebellion was the end of hope for an independent Jewish state in the Holy Land for nearly two thousand years.
In recent years, a surge in Zionist sentiment among Israelis is rehabilitating the reputation of Simon bar Kokhba, who’s celebrated as a national hero. Bonfires are lit on Lag Ba’Omer to celebrate his short-lived Jewish state, and Rabbi Akiva’s definition of the mashiach is still the standard by which many Jews evaluate claimants to the title.
Anyone who’s visited Israel can understand the national pride Jews feel. They have survived against tremendous, almost unimaginable odds since declaring independence in 1948. The desert blooms, and Israelis are justifiably proud of their achievements in academia, medicine, and high technology.
But this nationalist sentiment will be manipulated by the supernatural Man of Lawlessness, who will twist it to deceive Jews into following him as their mashiach. He may even cite the example of bar Kokhba as he marks Christians still on earth for destruction.
This is not a criticism of Jews. God knows that there are far too many examples of Christians who’ve been deceived by the Enemy into persecuting Jews in Jesus’ name, forgetting that the founder of our faith is the only Jew who ever fulfilled the Law perfectly. Prophecy tells us that the faithful will be persecuted during the period called the Great Tribulation. The Antichrist is of his father, the father of lies, and he will use any tactic that works. Hatred of outsiders is time-tested. Those fooled into supporting the Antichrist’s reverse pogrom will believe they’re doing God’s work—until “Mashiach ben David” stops the daily sacrifices, sits down in the Third Temple, and declares himself to be God.[3]
And then Jews will realize they’ve been had.
Summing up: Muslims are waiting for the Mahdi, but what he looks like depends on whether you ask a Sunni or a Shia, and which sect they belong to within those sects. Sunni Islam, specifically radical Mahdism, is probably the tool Allah, Inc., will use to lure Jews and Christians, if the church is still on the earth, into fighting for the Antichrist.
It’s easy to tell ourselves that we won’t be fooled, that we’ll see through the Enemy’s deception. Jesus warned against that kind of spiritual pride. As He told the people of Judea two thousand years ago, “I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.”[4]
But the victory of Allah, Inc., will be short-lived. Reckoning is coming. As Paul wrote, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”[5]
And payback is nothing less than the death of the gods.

Excellent information… thank you.
I agree totally!
It is so sad but Jesus warned more about deception than anything else.
The delusion & deception is rampant!
I remember when Bibi came to the microphones and said there is no peace; therefore implying that the Messiah had not come.
Jesus gave us peace with God
Before God spoke through His prophets & kings & now He speaks through His beloved son, the only begotten of the Father, full of grace & truth
No wonder Jesus wept
It was not a single tear but heartfelt sorrow
He will not come again
Until they cry out to him
Baruch Ha’ba B’Shem Adonai / Blessed Is He Who Comes in the Name of the
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.
They will weep bitterly as one who weeps over the death of their newborn son.
Lord open their eyes.
Love Romans chapter 11 esp. the doxologies in the Bible.
Love Jesus, Love my eternal blood bought family of God
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has become His Or who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”
36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
and this has been my go to all these long days
I delight and take great comfort in the Book of Daniel esp. chapter 7
Vision of the Ancient of Days
9 “I watched till thrones were [d]put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
10 A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The [e]court was seated,
And the books were opened.
11 “I watched then because of the sound of the [f]pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
I know whom I have believeth and I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto that day.
All the families/households that chuck and I represent
Most r not saved & during the time of Jacob’s trouble when the prayers of the saints r thrown to the earth I know the LORD will answer my prayers
Not b/c I am anything at all
but b/c of His eternal mercy & grace
That is what I love the most about Jesus
His mercy
Even during the time of Jacob’s trouble multitudes from every tongue, tribe and nation will be saved.
The greatest revival ever
the 144,000 Jewish virgin men ( I sometimes wonder with all the orphans in Israel now, if some of them will be chosen)
Elijah and Enoch
or some say
Elijah and Moses
not sure but God will have his two witnesses, maybe they come from their preaching and stand for God
I do not know
but God since the time of the Book of Job (another of my fav. books)
Chapter 38
22 “Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
Simple to just love others and trust God.
Otherwise your life gets too complicated and your brain goes haywire trying to figure it all out
I cannot
I trust God!
To the only living God
Matthew 22:32-34 KJV – I am the God of Abraham, and the God …
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
I think like Pastor JD Farag said once
There will be a lot of bad people in Heaven trusting the blood of Christ
and
A lot of good people in Hell, trusting their own ways or vain traditions
btw
I find your podcasts informative
For the Word of God is like an onion
So many layers
Heaven and Earth will pass away but the Word of God will not!
Like Betsie and Corrie in Ravensbruck we can just start thanking God for so much that he has done for us
I love doing that
Thanking God
He hung naked on tree, was mocked, they pulled out his beard, spat on him, so much more…
But God…
Jesus when he was carrying His cross turned to the mourners and said Luke chapter 23
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the days are surely coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’; and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
and
When Jesus was pronouncing judgement in the garden of Eden
He knew he would come and die for all of mankind
Like my husband states
It is a religious war
Your podcasts nail this
God has a plan – Chuck says this –
Chuck rarely speaks but when he does it is short and sweet and to the point!
Never studies the bible or reads it
He just studies me I guess
He does like to pray
He does weep
So many sins
Thank God for the blood of Christ that washes away all our sins
Like when he said
Lord I need guidance here.
That was his prayer
he was in the hospital but he had been dying for one year
His foot and leg riddled with gangrene
He stunk to high heaven.
Our great health care system here in Canada
they had almost killed him 3 times
took his toe
took his leg
gave him the clot shot times 2 in Oct. 2021
clot showed up in his right leg
in 2022 but by then nobody wanted to see you
Everyone was afraid of dying b/c they forgot God
but Chuck survived
He called me
I picked him up (smack dab in the middle of the plandemic)
I was not vaccinated so I could not see him at all through all of this
I was waiting in the hotel room
I took him in Monday night and we made a break for it on Friday
When I picked him up he weighed almost 140 pounds
He had lost about 40 to 50 pounds
Skin and bones
Having multiple surgeries does this
When they put u under that is what kills u
His yellow hospital thin p.j.’s
security all around
trying to intimidate
did not work
We went to Tim Horton’s for breakfast in Dawson Creek and for Chinese food in Prince George
We went back to the farm
but God….
Of course we lost everything
Probably would amount to about 500,000k in lost wages etc.
But God…
He provided a home in Granisle BC
Now we live in a small village by the Babine nation
Edge of the world
the lake is the largest fresh water lake in BC
you can salmon fish here
30 minutes down a wild life corridor
Wolves, coyotes, foxes, bears come to town.
Eagles, ospreys (fish hawks) even sea gulls, and swans
Also ducks
Some birds but not many
When they were mining in here from the 1960’s to 1990’s they found a fully preserved mammoth
but of course they buried it and got back to mining.
They took most of the copper
Gold is still here
but I am pontificating so I will say
Good morning
and
Good bye:)
Psalm 118
New King James Version
Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy
118 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
5 I called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
6 The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11 They surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me like bees;
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will [a]destroy them.
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has chastened[b] me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord,
Through which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 [c]This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord,
And He has given us light;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise You;
You are my God, I will exalt You.
29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
I agree with you on all. I and my friends see the same. Good article. I hope more to see it and pay attention. Y’shua said to Keep Watch.
