The Antichrist Empire will be a revived Islamic Empire

Here are some thoughts that I have run into while studying the Holy Bible and asking the Holy Spirit for understanding. I suggest searching the Scriptures and testing this to see if it indeed holds up. I do not claim to be at all thorough on this subject but I do believe that there is something here. Glad to hear feedback.

I remember saying to myself in 2006 that although all false religions are satanic, that satan formed his perfect false religious system in Islam. The whole religion from its beginning breaths a mastermind evil. I am seeing more and more of it in the Scriptures (vast numbers of them in apocalyptic passages) and the news headlines.

(I suggest reading Revelation 17 and Daniel 2 before going forward)

1)Revelation 17 and the final beast empire.

This chapter has put my head in knots countless times but I feel like I understand it now for the most part. The wording is kinda confusing and I usually just skipped over it instead of getting a headache. But it is not as difficult as I once thought.

Revelation 17
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.”
