You can’t ignore that Islam is an opposite mirror reflection of Christian eschatology<\/a>, with the Muslim messiah, the Mahdi, being the beast, and Issa, Jesus, the false prophet who will lead forces in beheading Christians that refuse to convert to Islam while showing them they were wrong in thinking Jesus was resurrected and God. They even have the Muslim equivalent of Antichrist, the Dajjal, which just happens to coincide with Jesus and the Millennial reign after the beast and false prophet are put in the Lake of Fire, and possibly why Satan will be able to raise up such a huge army to fight against Christ at the end of the perfect Millennial reign. So looking into eschatology with a view towards the Muslim piece of the puzzle, this scripture about the fall of Babylon caught my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revelation 18:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[3] \"For all nations have drunk\n    the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,\nand the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,\n    and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.\u201d (ESV)<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The United Arab Emirates<\/a>, seven nations allied together, have invested a lot of money into being a tourist destination known for its luxurous living. Consequently, the UAE capital Abu Dhabi is hosting a major UFC event in two weeks, but my attention is drawn to Dubai along with the major international port just down the coast, Jebel Ali<\/a>,, noted for being a major world shipping hub along with being deep enough to accommodate US Carrier fleets with onshore facilities built (called the sandbox by troops) to accommodate troops on leave. Also of note with Dubai is the Churchss Complex<\/a> even accommodating Christian churches as well as other religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in the 19th century as a small fishing village, Dubai grew into a regional trading hub from the early 20th century and grew rapidly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries with a focus on tourism<\/a> and luxury.[10]<\/a><\/sup> It is second-most in five-star hotels<\/a> in the world[11]<\/a><\/sup> and boasts the tallest building in the world<\/a>, the Burj Khalifa<\/a>, which is 828 metres (2,717 ft) tall.[12]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the eastern Arabian Peninsula<\/a> on the coast of the Persian Gulf<\/a>,[13]<\/a><\/sup> it is a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo.[14]<\/a><\/sup> Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai’s economy<\/a> relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate and financial services.[15]<\/a><\/sup>[16]<\/a><\/sup>[17]<\/a><\/sup>[18]<\/a><\/sup> Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate’s GDP in 2018.[19]<\/a><\/sup> The city has a population of around 3.49 million (as of 2021).[20]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dubai<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
And to bring further attention to Dubai, they have the tallest building (Asherah pole?) in the world, the Burj Khalifa at 2,717 ft, just over half a mile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So could we be looking for a member of the royal family of Al Maktoum to emerge as Antichrist? Since the world will go after Antichrist and follow him, it’s speculated unlike Christ he will be handsome and charismatic. So does Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum<\/a> fit the bill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colors of the four horsemen behind him on their flag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And to add to the intrigue, Hamdan’s older brother Rashid died mysteriously at age 33. The number of 33 is often used as a signal to others in the conspiracy to rule the world, being surmised to be the 33rd degree of Freemasonry where you learn you serve Satan. But I’ve come to believe it is a reference to the third, 33%, of the angels who rebelled and their stamp of involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
