Antichrist Revealed

The common idea of the Antichrist rising to power and conquering the entire global-world system is totally incorrect. The masses of religious people who think this, are truly in for a surprise.

Of course, the masses of humanity really don’t know and do not care!!!

It is going to be ironic if the True Biblical Antichrist is an Islamic Rebel in Syria. He unites all or most of the Islamic Factions and gains support of several Arab nations, which will unite to form the Ten Kings of the Book of Daniel and the Ten Kings of the Book of Revelation.

Here are some articles and information about a person; that I am giving reference to, as someone who fits the idea of the True Biblical Antichrist. Such a person only has to fit the Biblical concept, not the idea of the modern world, as a great king of a powerful nation. Actually, he only has to unite enough Islamic factions and countries in the Middle East to fulfill a goal of establishing an Islamic Caliphate and of becoming the Biblical Antichrist.

The Devil will personally indwell the Antichrist and establish an Islamic Empire of Ten Arab Countries in the Middle East. Israel will be taken by Islamic Forces and Israel will be driven into the Negev wilderness for 3 1/2 years.

Rev.12

[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Ancient Dragon, who is the Devil, namely Satan; the archangel Lucifer, will empower the leader of the Ten Islamic Kingdom. He will use a means of identification throughout the empire, to distribute food, as the Great Tribulation Period will be occurring  and food will be scarce.

Rev.13

[1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
[2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
[8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
[11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The Roman Catholics within the Islamic Empire will do well at first, but eventually, the followers of the Islamic Antichrist will burn the Catholic Buildings and kill the Catholics by the millions. God Almighty will put it in their minds to do this, as punishment for their sins!!! (Verse 16 & 17).

Rev.17

[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
[7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
[8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
[9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
[10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
[11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
[12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
[14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
[15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
[16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
[17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
[18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS; Arabic: هيئة تحرير الشام, romanizedHayʼat Taḥrīr aš-Šām[46], lit.”Organization for the Liberation of the Levant’ or ‘Levant Liberation Committee”),[43] commonly referred to as Tahrir al-Sham, is a Sunni Islamist[47][48] political and armed organisation involved in the Syrian Civil War. It was formed on 28 January 2017 as a merger between Jaysh al-Ahrar (an Ahrar al-Sham faction), Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS), Ansar al-Din Front, Jaysh al-Sunna, Liwa al-Haqq, and Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement.[3][49] The unification process was held under the initiative of Abu Jaber Shaykh, an Islamist commander who had been the second Emir of Ahrar al-Sham.[3]

Proclaiming the nascent organisation as “a new stage in the life of the blessed revolution”, Abu Jaber urged all factions of the Syrian opposition to unite under its Islamic leadership and wage a “popular Jihad” to achieve the objectives of the Syrian revolution, which he characterised as the ouster of the Ba’athist regime and Hezbollah militants from Syrian territories, and the formation of an Islamic government.[50] After the announcement, additional groups and individuals joined. The merged group has been primarily led by Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and former Ahrar al-Sham leaders, although the High Command also has representation from other groups.[51] The Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement[5] split from Tahrir al-Sham in July 2017, and the Ansar al-Din Front in 2018.[52]

The formation of HTS was followed by a string of assassinations of its supporters. In response, HTS launched a successful crackdown on Al-Qaeda loyalists, which cemented its power in Idlib. HTS has since been pursuing a “Syrianization” programme; focused on establishing a stable civilian administration that provides services and connects to humanitarian organizations in addition to maintaining law and order.[49] Tahrir al-Sham’s strategy is based on expanding its territorial control in Syria, establishing governance and mobilising popular support. In 2017, HTS permitted Turkish troops to patrol North-West Syria as part of a ceasefire brokered through the Astana negotiations. Its policies have brought it into conflict with Hurras al-Deen, Al-Qaeda’s Syrian wing, including militarily.[53] HTS had an estimated 6,000-15,000 members in 2022.[16]

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham gives allegiance to the Syrian Salvation Government, which is an alternative government of the Syrian opposition in the Idlib Governorate.[54][55] While the organisation officially adheres to the Salafi school; the High Council of Fatwa of the Syrian Salvation Government — to which it is religiously beholden — consists of ulema from Ash’arite and Sufi traditions as well. In its legal system and educational curriculum, HTS implements Shafi’ite thought and teaches the importance of the four classical Sunni madhahib (schools of law) in Islamic jurisprudence.[56] As of 2021, HTS is considered the most powerful military faction within the Syrian opposition.[57]

Abu Mohammad al-Julani

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Mohammad_al-Julani

*

Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a[5] (Arabic: أحمد حسين الشرع, romanizedʾAḥmad Ḥusayn aš-Šarʿ; born 1982), known by his nom de guerre as Abu Mohammad al-Julani[6] (Arabic: أبو محمد الجولاني, romanizedʾAbū Muḥammad al-Jawlānī), is a Syrian militant leader who is the current commander-in-chief of the militant group Tahrir al-Sham.[7]

Before cutting ties with Al-Qaeda in 2016,[8] Joulani had served as the emir of the now-defunct al-Nusra Front, the former Syrian branch of al-Qaeda.[9] The US State Department listed Al-Julani as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” in May 2013,[10] and four years later announced a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture.[11][12]

The nisba “Al-Julani” in his nom de guerre is a reference to Syria’s Golan Heights, partially occupied and annexed by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967.[13] Al-Julani released an audio statement on 28 September 2014, in which he stated he would fight the “United States and its allies” and urged his fighters not to accept help from the West in their battle against ISIL.[14]

Biography

Family background

Ahmed Hussein’s family came from the Golan Heights in Syria. The family was displaced in 1967 after the Israeli occupation of the Golan territories during the Six-Day War. Joulani’s father was an Arab nationalist student activist for the Nasserists in Syria. He was imprisoned by Syrian Ba’athists during the anti-Nasserist purges initiated after the 1961 and 1963 coups d’état, which broke up the United Arab Republic and propelled Arab Socialist Ba’ath party to power.[15]

Joulani’s father later escaped prison to complete his higher studies in Iraq in 1971. During this period, he had also travelled to Jordan to co-operate with the Palestinian Fedayeen of the PLO. After returning to Syria in the 1970s, now ruled as the personalist dictatorship of Hafez al-Assad, Joulani’s father was again imprisoned. He was later released and found asylum in Saudi Arabia.[16]

Early life and Iraq War

al-Julani was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1982; where his father worked as an oil engineer until 1989. In that year the al-Julani family returned to Syria, and he grew up and lived in the eastern villas area in the Mezzeh neighborhood of Damascus, until moving to Iraq in 2003.[1]

Once al-Julani moved to Iraq to fight American troops after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he quickly rose through the ranks of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). The Times of Israel newspaper claimed that Joulani was a close associate of AQI leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.[6] In a 2021 interview with Frontline, Al-Julani asserted that he had never personally met al-Zarqawi and denied any leadership roles during the early Iraqi insurgency, other than fighting as a regular foot-soldier under the command of al-Qaeda in Iraq against American occupation. Before the eruption of Iraqi civil war in 2006, Joulani was arrested by American forces and imprisoned for over five years in various prisons and detention centres. These prisons included Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca, Camp Cropper and al-Tajji prison.[17]

Syrian Civil War

Syrian uprising and foundation of al-Nusra

Following the eruption of Syrian revolution in 2011, al-Julani played a lead role in planning and enacting an agreement with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to move into Syria and establish al-Qaeda‘s Syrian branch known as Jabhat al-Nusra. This group was allied to the Islamic State of Iraq until 2013 and there was an agreement between the Al-Joulani and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to resolve any potential differences under the mediation of al-Qaeda Emir Ayman al-Zawahiri. Al-Julani’s formation of an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria was facilitated by men, arms and money given to him by the ISI. These plans were implemented by al-Julani and some insurgent leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq, after the former’s release from prison.[18] Julani was declared the “general emir” of al-Nusra, which was first announced in January 2012. By December 2012, the US Department of State declared Jabhat al-Nusra to be an officially designated terrorist organisation, noting that it was simply a new alias for Al-Qaeda In Iraq (aka Islamic State of Iraq).[19] Under al-Julani’s leadership, Al-Nusra grew into one of the most powerful groups in Syria.[6]

Conflict with ISIL

Al-Julani gained prominence in April 2013, when he refused al-Baghdadi‘s attempt to dissolve Al-Nusra as an independent group and incorporate it directly into ISI, under the name of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This move would have removed all local autonomy of Jabhat al-Nusra and placed all leaders, decisions, and actions directly under the control of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In order to avoid losing autonomy and the individual identity of Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Julani directly pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who supported al-Julani’s request to break away his group as an independent entity. Although, prior to this point, al-Nusra already had sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda through Islamic State of Iraq, now it bypassed the latter and became a direct subsidiary of the former. This change in the chain of allegiance made al-Nusra directly Al-Qaeda’s official Syrian branch.[20][21] Despite his own oath of allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi rejected his ruling and declared that the consolidation of the two organizations was going ahead. Clashes ensued between al-Nusra Front and ISIL for control of Syrian territory.[22][6]

Resurgence of al-Nusra

In late May 2015, during the Syrian civil war, al-Julani was interviewed by Ahmed Mansour on Qatari news broadcaster Al Jazeera, hiding his face. He described the Geneva peace conference as a farce and claimed that the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition did not represent the Syrian people and had no ground presence in Syria. Al-Julani mentioned that al-Nusra have no plans for attacking Western targets, and that their priority is focused on fighting the Syrian regime, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Al-Julani is credited with saying that the “Nusra Front doesn’t have any plans or directives to target the West. We received clear orders from Ayman al-Zawahiri not to use Syria as a launching pad to attack the U.S. or Europe in order to not sabotage the true mission against the regime. Maybe Al-Qaeda does that but not here in Syria. Assad forces are fighting us on one end, Hezbollah on another and ISIL on a third front. It is all about their mutual interests”.[23]

When asked about al-Nusra’s plans for a post-war Syria, al-Julani stated that after the war ended, all factions in the country would be consulted before anyone considered “establishing an Islamic state”. He also mentioned that al-Nusra would not target the country’s Alawite minority, despite their support for the Assad regime. “Our war is not a matter of revenge against the Alawites despite the fact that in Islam, they are considered to be heretics”.[23] A commentary on this interview however states that al-Julani also added that Alawites would be left alone as long as they abandon elements of their faith which contradict Islam.[24]

In October 2015, al-Julani called for indiscriminate attacks on Alawite villages in Syria. He said, “There is no choice but to escalate the battle and to target Alawite towns and villages in Latakia”.[25] al-Julani also called for Russian civilians to be attacked by former Soviet Muslims.[26][27]

Jabhat Fath al-Sham

On 28 July 2016, al-Julani announced in a recorded message that Jabhat al-Nusra would henceforth go under the new name of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham [Front for the Conquest of Syria].[28] As part of the announcement al-Julani stated that the rebranded group has “no affiliation to any external entity”. While some analysts have interpreted this to mean breaking away from Al-Qaeda, the group was not specifically mentioned in the announcement, and al-Julani at that time had not explicitly renounced his oath of allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri.[29]

Formation of Tahrir al-Sham

On January 28 2017, Julani announced that Jabhat al-Fath al-Sham would dissolve and be subsumed into a new, larger Syrian Islamist group called Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (“Assembly for the Liberation of the Levant”). Under Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (called HTS for short), the group focused on fighting Al-Qaeda and ISIS to get rid of hostile perceptions from West. With HTS, he crushed ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the majority of opposing forces in the vicinity of HTS and now controls nearly all of the Idlib Governorate, under the governance of the HTS-aligned Syrian Salvation Government.[30]

In the summer of 2020, al-Julani made frequent public appearances around Idlib in an attempt to gain support from the population. Video output by HTS-affiliated media increased significantly throughout mid-2020, multiple videos being published daily, showing governance videos, distribution of taxations in rural villages, frontline videos, and al-Julani meeting with local militia groups.[citation needed]

Documentary

On June 1, 2021 PBS Frontline released a documentary The Jihadist in which al-Julani’s past is investigated in the context of the ongoing Syrian civil war.[31]

Reflecting on his past affiliation with Al-Qaeda, Joulani commented in the interview:

“The history of the region and what it went through over the past 20 or 30 years needs to be taken into consideration… We are talking about a region ruled by tyrants, by people who rule with iron fists and their security apparatuses. At the same time, this region is surrounded by numerous conflicts and wars… We can’t take a segment of this history and say so-and-so joined Al Qaeda. There are thousands of people who joined Al Qaeda, but let us ask what was the reason behind these people joining Al Qaeda? That’s the question. Are the U.S. policies after World War II toward the region partially responsibility for driving people towards Al Qaeda organization? And are the European policies in the region responsible for the reactions of people who sympathize with the Palestinian cause or with the way the Zionist regime deals with the Palestinians?.. are the broken and oppressed peoples who had to endure what happened in Iraq, for example, or in Afghanistan, are they responsible..?.. our involvement with Al Qaeda in the past was an era, and it ended, and even at that time when we were with Al Qaeda, we were against external attacks, and it’s completely against our policies to carry out external operations from Syria to target European or American people. This was not part of our calculations at all, and we did not do it at all.”[32]

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham

In January 2017, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) was formed when al-Nusra joined with other Salafi factions Ansar al-Din Front, Jaysh al-Sunna, the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement and Liwa al-Haqq. (The Ansar al-Din Front and the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement have since split off).[106][107] The newly-formed HTS went on to gain more followers from defectors from Ahrar al-Sham. HTS fighters went after IS militants who fled to Idlib after their defeat and cracked down on Hurras al-Din, another militant group with ties to al-Qaeda.[108]

Flag of the Syrian Salvation Government

In November 2017, HTS created the Syrian Salvation government, an alternative government of the Syrian Opposition which currently governs parts of the Idlib Governorate. It is seen as illegitimate by the opposition’s main Syrian Interim Government.[109] Initially, the Salvation government harshly enforced a strict interpretation of Islamic law, but in recent years the group has become more tolerant.[108] The religious police has been disbanded and the HTS leader is advocating against the US designation of the group as a terrorist organisation, calling it “unfair”.[108] Contrary to al-Qaeda, HTS does not strive to create a global caliphate but is more locally oriented, with its primary objective being the establishment of Islamic rule in Syria through “toppling the criminal [Assad] regime and expelling the Iranian militias.”[110] The group gains money through spoils captured from the regime and opposition factions, prisoner exchange deals, the plunder of historical sites and the selling of artifacts, the claiming of private property from Christians and government supporters, and through taxes.[111]

The current leader of HTS is Abu Mohammad al-Julani. The group had an estimated 10,000 members in 2024.[9] HTS has denied being part of al-Qaeda and said in a statement that it is “an independent entity and not an extension of previous organisations or factions”.[112] The group has been involved in fierce clashes with the Syrian National Army in the north of Syria since 2022.[84] In the beginning of 2024, protests broke out across Idlib province against HTS, their mismanagement of the local economy, and the detention and torture of political prisoners.[113]
