IS THE FOURTH AND FINAL KINGDOM OF MEN VISIBLE TO US NOW?

Would this not require a homage to Mohammad as their prophet, as opposed to the anti Christ himself being worshiped as God? This would seem
contrary as I do not think Mohammad ever claimed to be God, but just a prophet of God. So who would the Muslims worship as God?

Just a passing thought.
You simply dont know enough about Islam. They have their own version of a semi-Jesus redeemer(satan likes to copy the truth while hidden in a lie) to come, shortly after either the fourth or fifth Imam, cant remember. Maudi or something like that. I can look it up if you wish. Their redeemer they expect will be the anti-christ , as for wanting to be worshiped and they only worshiping a skewered image of God they have now, satan always disapoints even his own faithful. Satan will use a combination of Islamic zealots to terrorize the world and atheists to keep them in check, and then amaze them both when he does signs and miracles and proclaims himself to be worshiped.

Major signs of the hour In this Hadith collection, the Mahdi is identified as a member of Muhammad’s family; “his name is like that of the Prophet ,and hi sfather’s name is the same as that of the Prophet’s father.”15 The Mahdi will rule the earth for seven,or eight,or nine years, filling it with justice just as it was before filled with injustice.Under his reign, the community will live in ease and comfort as never before.The earth will bear vegetation, rain will be plentiful,wealth will be abundant and equally divided among the faithful.16 Thereafter ,the antichrist ,D a j jal (or al-Ma s i h /al-Masikh al-Dajjal) appears from the East. Among the signs ofthe Dajjal are that he is blind in one eye,has frizzy hair, and on his fore-head blazes the word kafir [unbeliever] that Muslims see and understand, whether they be literate or illiterate.17 The Dajjal roams the earth (except for Mecca and Medina,—or:the holy mosques of Mecca,Medina,Jerusalem and Tor—,which are guarded by angels).18 He travels with enormous speed. He tempts people away from their true faith by way of “pseudo-miracles,”that is,preternatural feats—(interchangeably) a (cold) fire and a (blazing) garden.Wherever he goes,he brings with him great wealth:rivers,mountains of bread,and honey. He can produce rain and the greening of the earth,but this is always followed by destruction.His reign on earth lasts only forty days,except that the first day equals a year,the second a month,the third a week,and the rest of his days are like human days.19The Dajjal’s army is largely made up of Jews,Persians,Turks,and an admixture of other people who are mainly “Arabs of the desert”(Bedouins),and women.According to traditions here quoted from Muslim ibn Hajjaj’s and Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s canonical Hadith col-lections,seventy thousand Jews will follow the Dajjal,while traditions quoted from Bukhari’s and Ibn Maja’s canonical Hadith collec-tions also include Persians,Turks,and desert Arabs among the Dajjal’s followers.According to a tradition in Ibn Hanbal,most oftheDajjal’s followers are women,since women are even more ignorant and impressionable than are the Bedouins.Reportedly the Prophet predicted that,after the Dajjal’s appearance at a place in the vicinity of Medina,men would tie up their consorts and mother,daughter,sister and aunt for fear that they might join the Dajjal.20Against the Dajjal’s onslought,Muslims are reduced to a remnant.In their hour of need,Jesus will return to earth from heaven (towhere,according to the Qur’an,he ascended without dying on the cross) in order to lead the final battle against the Dajjal.Jesus wil ldescend on the Eastern Minaret in Damascus,and the (remaining) believers gather around him.The Dajjal makes his escape towardJerusalem but Jesus will slay the Dajjal at the gate of Lydda in Palestine.The Dajjal’s followers are likewise annihilated when the Muslims(in Jesus’army) will pursue and kill them (with supernatural help) so that the trees and stones are saying:eek:h Muslim,oh servant ofGod,there is a Jew behind me,come and kill him,—except for the Gharqad tree,which remains silent,as indeed it is a tree ofthe Jews.21ThenJesus will reign in justice and plenty, validating Islam,exterminating the pig and breaking the crosses ofthe Christians (on whom hewill levy the poll tax).He will apply the (Muhammadan) shari’a and perform the ritual prayer behind the Mahdi.This period will lastfor seven or forty or many more years.22Then the final horrors of human history unfold,Gog and Magog arrive who rush from every hill and drink all available water,including Lake Tiberias,until they are defeated and killed.23There are three solar eclipses,24then a greatsmoke arises,25the sun rises in the West,26the beast from the earth appears,27a fire drives the people to crowd together (in anticipationof judgment day)28and history gives way to the day of doom.

@ Bradhuber Is this basically what you were speaking of?
 
"The ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet: but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind
and shall give their power and strength to the beast."

One hour in Gods timing is equal to 40 years. 1 day is 1,000 years.

The fourth and final KINGDOM must be visible if we believe that we are around 40 years from conclusion.

The ten kings are synonymous with the 10 toes (feet) of iron and clay as they are the very thing that the rock cut out without hands breaks apart.
Daniel 2:34 "Thou sawest til that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces."

The stone that was cut without hands has to be the begotten of God i.e. Jesus and his brothers who come to set up the kingdom.

"And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the (harlot), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."

It is hard to consider that the final kingdom is any religion as the kings of the final kingdom hate all religions. The harlot that rides upon the beast is religion so the
beast itself can't be religion it has to be government. She is the mother of ALL harlots which would include all religions. Why suppress just one, get rid of
them all and peace will be achieved? I see that it is possible that through governmental regulation, edict, etc there will be a shedding of all religious affiliation
as time passes. Do we think this has already begun? China, Russia, Iran, N Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Cuba, Comoros, Uzbekistan,
Nicaragua, Nigeria, and Sudan to name a few. In the US we are more subtle in that religious freedoms are consumed by discrimination laws. And this also
eventually leads to loss of freedom in favor of peace.
It is the platform of the final kingdom to be established upon PEACE. Dan 8:25......and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes....

No. But it is close. I have found that you get different stories based on who or what you get your sources from.
 
Thank God that Jesus knows us and teaches us the truth as we would otherwise be nothing but confused.
