What if what you know about religion and the end times is wrong, and that Islam and America are in Biblical prophecy. The Mahdi the messiah of Islam is the anti-Christ of Christianity. 'Izzat and 'Arif quote Ka'b al Ahbar as saying; I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets;For instance, the Book of Revelation says; ""And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him;went forth conquering and to conquer."" Izzat and 'Arif then go on to say; it is clear that this man is the Mahdi who will ride the white horse and judge by the Qur'an, (Shari'ah law) ""Authority was given to them (the four horsemen of the apocalypse) over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword; Revelation 6:8 There are 1.6 billion Muslims and they are a majority in forty-nine countries of the 196 countries in the world or 25% with a Muslim majority. ""Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to test Israel by them that is all who had not experienced any of the wars of Canaan; only in order that the generation of the sons of Israel might be taught war;These nations are; the five lords of the Philistines (today the southern portion of the Gaza Strip) and all the Canaanites (today the northern portion of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank) and the Sidonians (today the Golan Heights, Syria) and the Hivites who lived in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as Lebo-hamath. (today Lebanon, Hezbollah) They were for testing Israel;"" Judges 3:1-4
