Since the year 1991 when God showed me what will happen during the end-times (click here to see the history of this work), other scholars have taken this information and added to it. These scholars have discovered additional reasons to believe that the evil empire will come from the country of Turkey and the Antichrist will be Islamic. What these scholars discovered is important and greatly contributes to this study, so I am including them here. The information in this section was not in my original website, and none of the information in this section originated from me. However, I greatly appreciate and respect the scholarly work that these people have made toward understanding the end-times.

The first work by other scholars that I will mention can actually be found from many sources from various authors. In the year 2012 John MacArthur gave a very clear and easily understood description of Islamic eschatology (https://youtu.be/ZpMSRV1e2ac). Islamic beliefs about the end-times are the exact opposite of Christian beliefs about the end-times. From lots of sources including MacArther and encyclopedias, we discover that Muslims believe that there will come a Caliph (a civil and religious ruler) called the Madhi who will establish a peace treaty with Israel for seven years, then they believe that Isa (the Islamic version of Jesus) will return to assist the Madhi, then finally the Dajal will arrive claiming to be Jesus, and Muslims believe that the Madhi and Isa will kill the Dajal. Christians believe the exact opposite! The Bible says that the Antichrist will make a seven year peace treaty, and with help from a false prophet, will fight against Jesus. The Muslim Madhi is the Christian Antichrist, the Muslim Jesus (Isa) is the Christian false prophet, and the Muslim Dajal is the Christian Jesus. These are not just slight differences in beliefs, but instead are completely opposite. The Christian Jesus is the Muslim Antichrist! When Jesus returns Muslims will want to fight against Him because they have been taught that our Jesus is evil.

In the year 2012, John Preacher published a book titled The Islamic Antichrist that explains the "666" mark of the beast that is described in Revelation chapter 13. The original Biblical writing for the "666" looks like this:

The Book of Revelation was written in Greek, and this original text looks a little bit similar to the Greek letters for the number 666, which looks like this:

With the original text looking so similar to the Greek number 666, Biblical translators said that it is the number 666. However, it does not look exactly like the Greek 666, it is actually quite different, so perhaps it is not 666 at all. John Preacher talks about this in his book:

Here is what I put forward to you: what if these were NOT Greek symbols at all but rather what if the Apostle John saw the symbols of another language, that he faithfully wrote down not knowing what they were? .... What if these symbols represent an entirely different language than Greek? Taking the context of Revelation 13 where its being revealed to John what the Mark of the Beast is, then is it possible, that the Mark, Name and Number/Multitudes of the Beast would be in the language of the Beast? Is it possible that John saw these mysterious symbols and faithfully wrote them down, as he saw them, even if he didn't know what they were?
(John Preacher, 2012, The Islamic Antichrist, Kingdom Publishers, page 66)

This is plausible since God told John to "Write on a scroll what you see..." (Revelation 1:11) so he documented what he saw. According to Preacher, the middle character in the original text looks a lot like the Islamic symbol for "in the name of Allah" if it is rotated:

The first character of the original text looks like two swords crossed, and crossed swords is another symbol of Islam. Look at the following Arabic text used on the Islamic Revolutionary Flag used by the Chechens:

This Arabic text above means "in the name of Allah" with crossed swords depicting military conquest through jihad (Arabic word for holy war). This looks a lot like the original text from the Book of Revelation shown here:

According to John Preacher's book, this symbol is already common on the foreheads and right arm of Muslim warriors, as depicted in the following photograph:

If John Preacher is correct in his assumptions, then Muslims are already commonly using the mark of the beast today.

In the year 2009, William Tapley (https://youtu.be/Ct5u47asVEE) suggested that the prophecy in Daniel chapter 8 pinpoints the location of the Antichrist:

The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven. Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the Lord; it took away the daily sacrifice from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down.
(Daniel 8:8-11)

According to William Tapley, the phrase "four winds of heaven" refer to the cardinal directions of north, south, east and west. So if you travel west from the city of Rome you will get to Istanbul in Turkey. Then Tapley suggests that the phrase "south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land" refers to how Jerusalem is south-east of Istanbul.

I admit that William Tapley is using a lot of interpretation here, but if he is correct in his assumptions then it is further evidence pointing to Istanbul as the location of the Antichrist.

The last work that I will show comes from many different people and many sources. This information is now almost common knowledge and is easily verified by looking in any encyclopedia. The symbol for the Ottoman empire, and for Islam in general, is the crescent and star:

This symbol is very old and dates back many thousands of years to ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia. The crescent was associated with the moon god and the star with the planet Venus. Here is a picture of the crescent and star from ancient Sumeria:

The planet Venus is also called "the morning star" and the Bible says that the morning star is Satan:

How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon [located in southern Turkey]. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
(Isaiah 14:12-16)

This pagan symbol was used from ancient times up to today, and pagans still use this symbol now. Usually the star has represented Venus, but occasionally it represented the sun, but the symbol has remained mostly the same thorough out the last several thousand years. The following pictures show this symbol from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the current Greek symbol:

Note that modern day Pagans use the current version of this symbol extensively today. You probably have seen this current version many times displayed by Wiccans (Witches), New Age, and other Pagans. This symbol is very popular today. This is the same pagan symbol that is used by Islam:

I currently reside in a diverse community with people of many different religions, so I often see both Muslims and Witches using this same symbol. The symbol for Islam represents Satan!

The discoveries provided by the above scholars are important. I greatly appreciate and respect the scholarly work that these people have made toward understanding the end-times.
