Isaiah 10 and the rise of Islam
If you don’t understand the rise of Islam as a political and military power in the Middle East and abroad, read Isaiah 10 and pay careful attention to the eschatological end time language like “when the LORD performs His whole work on mount Zion and Jerusalem” which is yet future and God’s final restoration of Israel as he punishes the king of Assyria.
In verse 5 God says the Assyrian will be the rod of God’s anger against his disobedient children, especially the unbelieving Jews living in the land of Israel. The Assyrian (king of Babylon in 14:4) is the Antichrist who will rise out of the region of Syria and Iraq who will bring a massive Islamic army against Jerusalem and those western nations that are supposed allies of Israel (from Islam’s perspective) like Western Europe and the USA.
The current invasion of Europe by Muslims is part of the Islamic plan to inflict terror on the hearts of the “infidels.” God will use Islam to chastise His disobedient children like when He used Assyria and Babylon to chastise the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah in the Old Testament. The Assyrians and the Babylonians were God’s rod of chastisement against his disobedient children. The Assyrians and the Babylonians worshipped the sun, moon and stars.
Islam also worships the sun, moon and stars. History is repeating itself and the last days are here. It is time to sound the trumpet and warn the world that hard times and days of darkness are coming upon the world.
(Joel 2, Zephaniah 1, Matthew 24, Daniel 12)
Who could have ever imagined that the Assyrians and the Babylonians, who worshipped the sun, moon, and stars, would return to terrorize the people of God? Carefully compare the images below.
