THE RISE AND THE ROLE OF ISLAM

-Goths under Alaric attacked the Roman Empire-410 AD the Goths destroyed Rome

-hail reminds of their northern origin, fire wasthe destruction by flame and blood was theterrible slaughter of the citizens of the empire-the emperor of the Romans fled before the kingof the Goths

-Vandals under Genseric invaded and conqueredthe North of Africa (part of the Roman Empire)

-428-468 AD attacks of the coasts of Spain, Italy,Greece-mention of the sea and the ships destroyedpredicted conquests made by naval forces Genseric became the tyrant of the sea,destroying Roman fleets and preying on theRoman commerce

-the Huns under Attila, coming from the East,came with the rapidity of a flashing meteor,

invaded and occupied and desolated the wholebreadth of Europe from Euxine to the Adriatic.-during his reign (434-453 AD), Attila was one ofthe most feared enemies of the Roman Empire

-Odoacer, chief of Heruli (a barbarian remnant ofthe host of Attila), was the first barbarian ruler

of Italy. His reign marked the end of the WesternRoman Empire-the sun, the moon and the stars from prophecywere the great luminaries of the Romangovernment: emperors, senators and consuls all disappeared before 526 AD

-610-Mohammed (c.570-632) at the age of 40 pretends havingrevelations from God-628-the king of Persia, Chosroes, was murdered this was theopening of the bottomless pit - it prepared the way for Muslimsto rise from obscurity-629-marked by the conquest of Arabia by the Muslims and thefirst war against the Roman Empire-bottomless pit - the term in Greek (abyssos) may refer to anywaste place-a good comparison for the unknown wastes of the

Arabian desert-the smoke of a great furnace (Rev.9:2) filled the world withdarkness and delusion, illustration of the pestilential influence ofIslam, in contrast with the light of the gospel of Jesus-the locusts, vs.3, a fit symbol of the Arabs, they came asdestroyers, propagating a new doctrine-632 AD, after the death of Mohammed, he was succedeed by

Abu-Bekr. Until the 13th century the Muslims remained divided

and led by several leaders-vs.10 to hurt men five months - a prophetic time of150 years(5x30), from 1299 to 1449-27th of July 1299-Othman (Osman I) founder of the OttomanEmpire, invaded the territory of Nicomaedia (part of the GreekEmpire), starting a perpetual war with the Greeks, but yet withoutconquering them (the prophecy spoke about hurtingbut notdestroying)-the Ottomans seized upon and held several of the Greekprovinces, but still Greek independence was maintained inConstantinople-the Saracens and the Turks were the instruments by which afalse religion became the scourge of an apostate church

1st WOE 3rd WOE2nd WOE

-v.12-15-the four angels were the four main sultanies of the OttomanEmpire-the restriction to tormenting is lifted and they are allowed to slay-1449-Constantine, the last of the Greek emperors, was crownedafterhis ambassadors received the approbation of the sultan-recognizing the supremacy of the Turkish sultan-1451 Mahomet II (Mehmed II The Conqueror) becomes sultan-1453-siege and fall of Constantinople-becomes the seat of theOttoman Empire-vs.17-description of the Turkish uniform-fire (red), jacinth (blue) andbrimstone (yellow); the fire coming from the mouths is a reference tothe use of gunpowder and firearms-vs.18,19-describe the deadly effect of the new mode of warfareintroduced-gunpowder, firearms and cannon-until the death of the sultan Mehmed II almost all Balkan countrieswere conquered: Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia,Montenegro

-an hour, a day, a month, and a year- supremacy of the OttomanEmpire - this is 391 years and 15 days, starting from July 27 1449 andending in August 11, 1840 (Josiah Litch made this application in 1838)-the period ended in the way it began, by the voluntarily surrender ofindependence-1840-to avoid the sure result of being defeated by Mehemet Ali,pasha of Egypt, the Turkish sultan accepted the intervention of 4Christian great powers (England, Russia, Austria and Prussia). Aconference in London of these powers resulted in an ultimatum givento the pasha of Egypt-this ultimatum arrived in Egypt on the 11th of

August 1840! Thus the supremacy of the Ottoman Empire endedand the empire itself continued to exist only by the sufferance of theseChristian powers.

-Revelation 11:14-19-vs..14-the third woe cometh quickly-because the first two woes were represented by Islam, the third woe can nothave a different nature: it is Islam, again-Wahhabi Movement, ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam, grew continuallysince the forming of Saudi Arabia in 1932-1928-was founded in Egypt the Society of the Muslim Brothers-Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966)-Egyptian thinker, leading member of MuslimBrotherhood, becomes through his writings an inspiration for radical Islam-during the Cold War, USA and UK encouraged and sponsored fundamentalistgroups as a protection against the expansion of the Soviet Union-1979-Islamic Revolution in Iran, a success for Islamic f undamentalism-1981- al-Jihad assassinated the Egyptian president Anwar Sadat-1987-Hamas is founded, an offshot of Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood-1988-establishing of Al-Qaeda, by Osama-bin-Laden-1993-truck bomb detonated to attack the World Trade Centre, New York-1998-U.S.Embassies attacked in Tanzania and Kenya - suicide bombings in trucks

Its credo is,"God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader;Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."

All these attacks make the nations angry (Rev.11:18). The anger of the nationswill be used by the Antichrist to make war against God's true remnant, thosewho keep the commandments of God (Rev.12:17)

And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD s aid unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;

because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him ; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:10-12
