How Islam Gained World Rule

Locusts like horses emerged from the smoke
That poured from the Abyss of the earth;
They had power to sting the unsealed folk,
Inflicting scorpion pain---five months' worth!
One-third of earth's people died this First Woe,
By drowning, earthquakes, murder, and burning;
Pacific rim nations were crippled so,
By law, order quickly overturning!
The only limit to control was might;
Islam's jihadists spread o'er the land;
Osama bin Laden knew the world's plight;
Al Qaeda's armed cells moved, took command!
With the aid of locusts, Islam gained the rule!
Oft does God use enemies as His tool!

This poem cites some of the side effects of God's Woe #1, the collision of a huge asteroid or comet with the earth; it will land, we think, in the northeast Pacific Ocean. During the five months or more when locusts as large as horses are flying around the world, stinging people who are not marked with God's seal of protection against the disasters of God's Wrath (See Rev. 9:1-11), all nations will be more or less crippled without electricity, means of communication, or normal law and order. They will be dealing with tsunami floods, tectonic plate earthquakes, and millions of casualties, as well as populations maddened with pain and unable to get relief even by dying; they will attempt suicide but will invariably fail. The leaders that are strong-minded enough to even report to work will not have the time or means of defending their nation against armed terrorists who are so committed to their goal of tyranny they ignore the pain and strike when each nation is at its most defenseless. It is during this time of world-wide panic that Islam will achieve rule over the entire world.

The Beast from the Sea, first introduced in Rev. 13, is thought by many to become the Antichrist with Satan's power; he will gain rule over the whole world during the Tribulation with Islam's help. Islam is the "Mystery Babylon" of Rev. 17-19. Osama bin Laden, the Islamic terrorist behind the Twin-tower destruction in New York, Sept. 11, 2001, has the goal of uniting Islam and ruling the world. He could be the Antichrist, or he may produce a mysterious leader called the Imam Mahdi, who, in Islamic theology, is expected to appear in the world during the end-times in a direct parallel to Jesus Christ. Remember that Satan invented Islam as a counterfeit to Christianity, in an attempt to confuse people who might become followers of Christ into believing that Islam is the real Christianity. It is intended as a great delusion to take many people to hell.

Many theologians have puzzled over how any single power can achieve world rule in such a brief time. With the aid of God's Wrath on the world, the Islamic cells that are operating inside all western nations today could do it from inside during the frenzy that will be present at the time of the locusts.
