Imam calls for Islamic empire and warns Obama

Despite the coup in Egypt, some in Islam are still intent on creating a Muslim empire:

July 18, 2013

Hundreds of worshippers at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque responded with cries of “Allah Akbar” (God is Great) to Imam Ismat Al-Hammouri’s calls for the destruction of America, France, Britain, and Rome…

Al-Hammouri inciting the crowd in the Old City with calls to conquer and destroy the enemies of the “Nation of Islam.”

“We warn you, oh America: Take your hands off the Muslims. You have wreaked havoc in Syria, and before that, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and now in Egypt,” shouted the cleric to the enthusiastic replies of the crowd. “Who do you think we are, America? We are the nation of Islam — a giant and mighty nation, which extends from east to west. Soon, we will teach you a political and military lesson, Allah willing. Allah Akbar. All glory to Allah.”

Al-Hammouri, who belongs to the Jerusalem-based Pan-Islamic Hizb ut-Tahrir (Party of Liberation) organization, went on to warn US president Barak Obama of the rise of the Islamic caliphate, a united Muslim empire that will impose religious law on all of its subjects…

Participants held up posters of the Muslim Brotherhood-backed leader amid cries of “Down with peaceful solutions,” and assertions that “Whoever negotiates with America… is a collaborator and a coward.”

Hizb ut-Tahrir was founded in 1953 and has an estimated million members across 40 countries. http://www.timesofisrael.com/imam-calls-for-us-and-europes-destruction-from-temple-mount-pulpit/#rssowlmlink

The goal of groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Muslim Brotherhood is to create an Islamic empire from essentially the west coast of Africa until Indonesia, and then expand it from there. Their medium-term objective is also to get Spain and India, though biblically-speaking this is not prophesied.

On the other hand, the Bible does tell of the rise of an empire in lands that currently are predominantly Islamic. Scriptures that demonstrate this can be read in Daniel 11:40-43 and Ezekiel 30:1-9. Explanations of those scriptures can be found in the article Is There A Future King of the South?

Currently we have a situation where there is massive unrest in the Arab/Islamic world. We have the European Union claiming to be a friend of the nation of Israel on the one hand, while attempting to force certain positions of the Arab World upon it (e.g. EU to put more pressure on Israel: A prelude to Daniel 9:27?). We have the USA trying to be involved in the Middle East and Islamic world, while also claiming to be a strong friend of Israel.

What will happen?

The Bible teaches that Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1), Jerusalem divided (Zechariah 14:1-2; you can also watch the video titled Jerusalem To be divided and eliminated), and the King of the South will rise (Daniel 11:40-43).

But what about the United States and the Islamic Arabic and Turkish peoples?

The Bible, in Psalm 83:3-8 tells of a conspiracy coming by nations that are currently primarily Sunni Muslim, including the Arabs and the Turks, and that will not end well for the United States, Israel, nor their Anglo-allies such as the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

Notice what the Bible teaches:

4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; 7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot.

Note that this passage of scripture is suggesting that the descendants of Israel (which not only includes the modern state of Israel, but also much of the English-speaking world, cf. Genesis 48:13-16–see a discussion of this in Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel and Protestant and Church of God views of the United States in Bible Prophecy) will be bothered by a confederation of basically Arabic/Islamic peoples from the Middle East, who will also somewhat align with a European power (see Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History and Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy).

A December 1979 Plain Truth article by Keith Stump’s titled The Arab World in Prophecy provides insights into who may be the future king of the South as well as who may be involved in Psalm 83:

Mahdi, the expected end time messiah who is to cleanse and restore the Islamic faith…to usher in a seven-year golden age just before the end of the world…The expectation of a coming Mahdi (in Arabic, “the divinely guided one”) is prevalent among virtually all Moslem sects, though they often differ in the specifics of the concept…

The prophecy of Daniel 11 details events…But who is the “king of the south”?…Just as there is yet to be a final “king of the north”–called in the Bible symbolism “the beast”–who will arise as superdictator over an end-time European confederation, there may very well emerge in the same manner a final “king of the south”–an overall leader of an Arab-Moslem confederation, possibly bearing the very title Mahdi. And these two individuals will eventually find themselves in a head-to-head confrontation–possibly over oil–which will ultimately lead to devastating war in the Middle East!

King David of ancient Israel in a prophetic psalm (Psalm 83) provides additional insight into the Mideast picture. Germany (Assyria in Bible prophecy) and perhaps the rest of Europe will be in league in the future with a union of Arab nations–a vast confederacy bound together in an effort to crush out the name “Israel” from the face of the earth! This Arab-Moslem confederacy may very well be the previously mentioned “king of the south”–a sphere of power encompassing vast portions of the Islamic world.

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom [Esau or modern-day Turkey, a non-Arab but Islamic nation], and the Ishmaelites [Saudi Arabia]; of Moab [part of Jordan], and the Hagarenes [anciently these peoples dwelt in the area known as Syria today]; Gebal [Lebanon], and Ammon [modern Jordan], and Amalek [part of the Turks]; the Philistines [the modern Palestinians] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Lebanon]; Assur [whose descendants, the Assyrians, migrated to Germany] also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot [Jordan and Western Iraq]” (Psalm 83:4-8)…

But in the end, this European-Arab alliance will prove short-lived…And the king of the north shall come against him [the king of the south]…The Arab-Moslem Confederation will, of course, be thrown into chaotic disarray in the fact of invasion.

So Bible prophecy in the books of Daniel and Psalms suggest that there will be some type of strong Arab-based confederation involving Turkey that will make a deal with a future European power for the purposes of eliminating “Israel.”

While some may consider that the threat from Imam Al-Hammouri is simply the ravings of a religious extremist, eventually there will be a convergence of nations that will essentially carry that threat out. This confederation will cause problems, and then through Assyria/Europe, destruction to the USA, its Anglo-allies, and the nation of Israel.

The arrangement discussed in Psalm 83 will come to pass. This will not be good for the USA, its Anglo-allies, nor the nation of Israel.
