The media is playing down the Muslim connection to Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s outrageous attack on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood Texas yesterday. Earlier in the day a video monitor showed him dressed in traditional Islamic attire in public. Witnesses to the massacre heard him shout “Allahu Akbar” as he began his attack.

This story bears close scrutiny in the next few days as the facts come to light

It’s a big week in the entertainment world for Unidentified Flying Objects. The first episode of ABC’s “V” was shown, updating the alien-invasion series of the ‘80s. Later this week a new movie, “The Fourth Kind,” will focus on the most intense fear about UFOs – abduction.

During the past half-century there have been thousands of supposed sightings of UFO’s and rumors of secret information hidden from the public by the government. There have even been claims of alien abductions. Amazingly, polls indicate that about 1/3 of Americans believe in UFOs, although some of them substitute belief in aliens for belief in God.

The History Channel produced a series called “UFO Hunters.” Numerous other documentaries explore related topics like the Air Force’s “Project Blue Book,” which is now available online, and the mysterious unofficial military base known as “Area 51.”

Could this interest in UFOs relate to Biblical prophecy? One possible connection would be an explanation of the sudden disappearance of Christians at the Rapture. For millions of people the loss of friends and loved ones will be a final proof that The Bible is true. For them, the Rapture will be a turning point leading them to personal acceptance of Christ.

But for the rest of the world, some false theory will have to be proposed to keep them from turning to the Lord. In 2 Thessalonians 2 we discover some of the details of the coming of Antichrist.

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 – NIV

It is certainly possible that Antichrist’s lie about the Rapture will be that, after all these years of being observed by powerful but kindly aliens, Christians have been taken away from earth by aliens because they were not willing to be “tolerant” of people with different morals or beliefs.

The White House has declared war against Fox News. It seems that they print some stories that make the administration look bad. That’s not nice, but with several other wars unsettled, there is an easier way. The White House could just return to the First Amendment concept of Freedom of Speech, and let the people decide whether or not to believe Fox.

Our President, Barack Obama, has been named the Nobel Peace Prize winner for 2009. It may be true that he has exerted great effort in changing world conditions, but he has used questionable methods and there are no visible results yet.

Making this choice so soon in the President’s career exposes the political bias of the committee once again. Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday says they gave him the prize for not being George Bush.

We can be proud that the committee honors an American President but it doesn’t have much meaning because their choices have just become political spin for the ultra liberal point of view.

Jeremiah and Ezekiel exposed the hypocrisy of those who say “Peace, peace” when there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14; Ezekiel 13:10).

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul explains details about the Rapture of the Church and the onset of the last days in 1 Thessalonians. He wrote:

For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
-1 Thessalonians 5:2-3

Prophecy students have always known that Antichrist will use beheading as the punishment for those who will not worship him and receive the “Mark of the Beast.”

And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands.
- Revelation 20:4

Recently we have benefited from new insights from a former Palestinian terrorist, Walid Shoebat and his co-author, Joel Richardson. They show that the expected Islamic messiah, the Mahdi, could be the same as the biblical Antichrist. Islam has its own prophecies. Many of them were taken from our own Bible and twisted to fit their world view.

Shoebat and Richardson think that the final evil world empire predicted in Daniel 2 will be Islamic instead of European. They base this partly on the idea that Antichrist will use beheading, which they say is normal for Islam, but not for Europe.

Today European countries are opposed to any form of capital punishment. But here are two facts to consider: beheading was once common in Europe, and the Muslim population of Europe is rapidly climbing, while the native population is declining.

Until they abolished capital punishment only a few decades ago, both France and Germany employed beheading. Just over a century ago Scandinavian countries employed beheading, and it was also practiced in England both in ancient times and during the Middle Ages.

Another relevant fact is the changing culture of Europe. Muslim population growth is astronomical there, already causing riots and separatist movements in many European countries and the acceptance of Islamic law (Sharia) in some places. For a sobering account of this major culture shift I recommend that you view the 7 minute You Tube video entitled Muslim Demographics.

So, the final evil world empire may not be a question of Europe or Islam. It just might be a combination of both.
