Islam, Pew and Prophecy

According to a recent study conducted by Pew Research, Islam is destined to become the world's dominant faith by the year 2070. If that happens, then that spells trouble for the world because Islam is a totalitarian religion that persecutes its enemies and tolerates no other faiths.

Here are some of the key points of the study:

• The number of Muslims will nearly equal the number of Christians around the world (by 2050).
• Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and France – will make up a declining share of the world’s total population.
• In Europe, Muslims will make up 10 percent of the overall population.
• In the United States, Christians will decline from more than three-quarters of the population in 2010 to two-thirds in 2050, and Judaism will no longer be the largest non-Christian religion. Muslims will be more numerous in the U.S. than people who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion.
• Four out of every 10 Christians in the world will live in sub-Saharan Africa. pewforum.org

 Pew is a reputable organization that does excellent research. And it's understandable why many people agree with Pew's assessment of the future. Christianity's influence is declining across the world while Islam is growing rapidly in places where it once barely existed.

The eminent columnist Mark Steyn said this concerning the Pew study: "In a democratic age, demography is destiny. The more Muslim the world's population gets, the more Muslim its cultural, political and social character will be - which, absent any countervailing pressures, will be bad news for Christians, Jews, women, gays, artists, scientists, economic innovators and people with a quaint attachment to free speech. Or to put it another way: In 2070 the front-page story isn't going to be about a bakery that won't make a gay wedding cake."

Islam's growth has a lot of folks concerned, and rightly so. Islam is a violent religion that has historically used the sword since its inception in the 7th century to maintain and perpetuate itself. Though its apologists claim that Islam is really a religion of peace that's been hijacked by a group of radicals and fanatics, the evidence betrays that claim. The Koran contains over 100 war verses that encourage Muslims to persecute and kill non-Muslims.  http://prophecyreviewtoday.blogspot.com/2015/01/islam-and-taqiyya

Indeed, the world is moving toward Islam. However, the real enemy of the western world isn't Islam, it's demographics, as Steyn noted. The Christian population in the western world is waning because of declining birthrates while it's declining in the eastern world because of genocide. While abortion, homosexuality and euthanasia are eradicating the white-euro tribes in the west, they're not being targeted at Muslims. And so, as the Muslim population expands, the rest of the world contracts.

Is Islam destined to dominate the world? Not according to biblical prophecy. While Pew analyzes the present, biblical prophecy reveals the future. And prophecy reveals that Islam is destined to disappear. Contrary to Pew, current trends and popular opinion, the future doesn't belong to Islam.

But how is Islam going to disappear when it seems poised to conquer the world? It will disappear because of political, economic and military power that's slowly shifting from the west to the eastern world. And the rising powers in Asia and the eastern world such as China, India, Russia and South Korea don't want Islam. 

And as their influence grows, the emerging eastern powers will expel Islam from their nations and the nations that they take control of. Islam will be forced to take refuge in the west until the strongmen of the east take control of the west. While that may take several years, it's coming. And when the east finally controls the west, there will be no more Islam.

Concerning Islam, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered this ominous message to the Russian Duma in 2013: "In Russia, we live as Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslims, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell discrimination."  http://www.prophecyreviewonline.org/apps/articles

If Islam isn't destined to control the world, then what will? Biblical prophecy reveals that a counterfeit form Christianity is coming that will be based upon supernatural events that are demonically inspired. These counterfeit miracles will captivate the world and eventually lead to the Antichrist. The apostle Paul wrote this: "The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

While the present may belong to Islam, the future belongs to "Christianity." When that happens, many will rejoice. They shouldn't because what comes after Islam will be worse than anything you can possibly imagine.
