The False Prophet - Skolfield
Preface
OUT of the Middle East he came, the false prophet, and out of that same
Euphrates Valley came his followers, the final foes of the Church and
Israel. They are the international Islamic terrorist organizations and the
Islamic states who fund and protect them. “Three unclean spirits like
frogs” is what the Bible calls them. These Middle Eastern countries and
their associates are the Leopard-Bear-Lion beast of Revelation, and the
malevolent influence of that devilish trident can be felt over the whole
world as “they gather the kings of the earth together for the battle of the
great day of God Almighty.”

I came to the US for four days, for a meeting that was to have
been held in Manhattan on Tuesday evening, September 11. The
meeting didn't take place no one could get in or out of the great
city. I'm not sure if all those invited to the meeting are still alive.
There were no flights back home, and all that remained to do
was to listen to the reports and hope for a place on the first flight
returning to Israel.
It was impossible to get away from the reports of the massacre
in downtown Manhattan. The news was everywhere: on the air, at
home, in the car, in the shops. I entered the neighborhood grocery
store. The storekeeper's radio was on.
President Bush was speaking to the American people: ‘I
declare tomorrow to be a day of prayer,’ said the President. ‘I ask
every American, during lunch time tomorrow to pray for all the
injured, their families, and the American nation. Go to church, to
the synagogue, to the mosque and pray,’ ended the President.
‘Did I hear right?’ I ask the storekeeper, ‘Did he say mosque?’
She nodded.
Preface 11
‘At this very moment you've just lost the war,’ I say to the
astonished storekeeper, and start looking for what I need on the shelves.
When the black boxes of the hijacked airplanes are recovered,
we will hear the pilots screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ in the last
moments before the crash. They slaughtered the Americans in the
name of Allah, and now the President calls on them to pray to
him.’”1
I wanted to shout again and again what Moshe said was right: “At
this very moment you've just lost the war . . . at this very moment you've
just lost the war . . . at this very moment you've just lost the war!”
God willing it’s not too late for us, but Moshe sure has a point. The
Church in the west has been defending itself against a militant Islam for
13 centuries and Jews have been defending themselves against militant
Palestinian Moslems ever since new Israel became a sovereign nation.
We in the West don’t want to see this as a religious war, but it is, and it’s
a conflict that won’t go away.
People in the West have notoriously short memories, but it’s not true
of Middle Easterners. They’re still fighting a war that ended over 900
years ago (a chapter in history we have long forgotten), the Crusades of
the 11th and 12th centuries. Most westerners don’t hate Moslems and
neither do I, but history irrefutably establishes that Islam (as a religion)
has hated the Church and the Jews ever since its inception. To Islam, we
have always been the “infidels” and we will surely lose this war if we
refuse to recognize our enemies for what they are and are reluctant to
stand against them.
Thirty years ago, all notable prophecy teachers pronounced, as if
from on high, that the USSR would be the final satanic end-time empire
to come. A laughable concept now, long abandoned. However, other
fanciful views still cloud men’s minds and flood our bookstores –
imaginations for which there is little or no scriptural or historic support.
These “traditions of men” are immensely popular and why shouldn’t
they be? Doesn’t everyone want to hear a siren song, false or true, that
lulls us into believing we will be spared a time of trouble? Of course. So

despite the ever-increasing Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide, will the
church have ears to hear these “wake-up calls from hell,” as Israel’s
Binyamin Netanyahu termed the destruction of New York’s twin
towers?

Early this morning, Sal'it Sheetreet and her husband Barak, of
Kibbutz Sdei Eliyahu, were attacked by Arab terrorist gunfire while
traveling on the main northern Jordan Valley highway. Sal'it, 28
years of age, was killed almost instantly by gunfire to her head and
was buried in the Sdei Eliyahu cemetery. Barak, the driver, was
lightly injured by ricocheted fragments. Islamic Jihad claimed
responsibility for the murder.

In Jerusalem, an Arab car overtook that of a young Jewish couple,
Pinchas and Mali Cohen of Ramat Shlomo, on one of the city's
main highways, shot at the two, and sped off towards Ramallah.
The attack occurred shortly before midnight on the road leading
from Ramot and Ramat Shlomo towards French Hill. The young
mother, pregnant with her second child, was shot in the chest and
neck; she was originally reported as seriously wounded, but her
condition is now listed as moderate, as is her husband, who was
shot in the chest.
Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel
Excerpt of a Speech to the Knesset, September 4th 2001
"Today, Israel suffered another heinous Palestinian terrorist attack
(in Afula), which took a heavy toll: Three dead and seven
wounded. All our efforts to reach a cease-fire have been torpedoed
by the Palestinians. The fire did not cease, not even for one day.”
The above accounts happened a couple of years ago so change the
names and dates. The same atrocities are happening today. And if you
think these are just isolated incidents cited to inflame your passions, you
would be wrong. This book could be filled with such accounts. Terrorist
attacks are a daily occurrence in Israel, the Philippines, Iraq, Pakistan
and elsewhere, usually against civilian targets. Worldwide, anywhere
you see a terrorist attack or an armed conflict, radical Moslems are
usually on one side of it, and they started it.
Preface 13
This is not a view of the future, it’s, today’s world and terrorism has
now come to us – United States embassies in Iran, Kenya and elsewhere,
barracks bombings in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, the USS Cole, the
saber rattling of the anti-western Islamic states – the increased activism
of Islamic radicals – the continuing attacks against coalition troops in
both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Palestinian Mufti Forbids Moslems to Join Anti-terror Coalition
The Middle East Media Research Institute reports that the
Palestinian Authority Mufti in Jerusalem has called upon Moslems
not to join the American anti-terrorism coalition. This past Friday,
Sept. 28, 2001, the PA's Mufti, Sheikh Ikrimah Sabri, encouraged
the worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount to
oppose the coalition.
So much for cooperation from the Islamic mullahs. Even as we
write, the mullahs in Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere are
inflaming their local people against the United States’ drive to destroy
the terrorist cells in the Islamic world, but that shouldn’t be unexpected.
Major Bible prophecies, written 600 years before Muhammad was born
tell of the extreme enmity Islam would have towards Christendom. The
Bible predicted Islam’s militant rise to power during the Dark Ages and
its decline after the battles of Tours and Vienna. The Bible also
predicted the number of years that Islam would control the Holy Land.
The Bible then described Islam’s second rise to world influence after the
return of the Jews to the Holy Land in 1948 – the very Jihad we see
before us now. The Bible also predicts how this conflict will end.
What the Bible tells us about Islam and our final battle is the story
of this book, and it needs to be told. We may not be at war with Islam,
but Islam has been at war with us for over 1300 years, in fact, ever since
the First Jihad of the 7th Century. The Bible tells us all about this war by
predicting when the Muslim Dome of the Rock would be built in
Jerusalem and when the Jewish people would be restored to the Holy
Land. The events of 688, 1948 and 1967AD cannot be challenged.
The fulfillment of the 1290 prophetic days of Dan 12:11 in the
construction of the Islamic Dome of the Rock on the old temple mount
Preface 14
is pinned to the beginning of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar and few argue
the 606BC or 605BC date of that event.
The restoration of the Jews to Israel in 1948 and the freeing of
Jerusalem from Gentile domination in 1967 was predicted right to the
year and the historicity of that event is unshakable.
From Luke 21:24, the time of Islamic domination of Jerusalem was
over in 1967. When that verse is compared with Dan 12:4 and 9, it is
obvious that we are just moments away from the end of civilization as
we know it.
The “beasts, heads”, and “horns” in Daniel are, by definition,
figurative depictions of empires and kings and the satanic forces that
control them. As a result, the beasts of Revelation 13 and 17 should also
be empires, kings and satanic forces unless God Himself changes the
definition of prophetic “beasts.” The present day location of those
empires is the Islamic states of the Middle East. Therefore, it is beyond
reasonable doubt that the final enemy of the church and Israel will come
from the Islamic world.
It cannot be biblically argued that the church will be taken to be
with the Lord at any trumpet other than the very last trumpet of all time.
Consequently, any position that requires trumpets to blow after the Last
Trumpet of 1Co 15:51-52 is openly opposed to the open declarations of
Scripture.
Wanting to keep this book simple, much of the supporting
theological data has been left out. It there is sufficient interest, that data
could be published in a second book. Reconciling all the data available
for some of the concepts contained in this book has been a monumental
task, so it would have been easy to overlook some relevant historic point
or passage of Scripture. This could have lead to incorrect conclusions.
We trusted the Holy Spirit to protect us from omission or excess.
The author takes the responsibility of writing a work on the Word
of God very seriously. We fear God too much to willfully, or through
carelessness, become just another heretic who led the church astray.
Consequently, great care has been taken to be as historically accurate as
possible and to handle the Word of God with humility, honor and
Preface 15
reverence, “rightly dividing the word of truth.”. . . . . . . .
