The problem is, that I think that there will be no outright conflict with Islam. Personally, I believe it will be a tool of the Beast.

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. Revelation 13:6-7

It ain't gonna be pretty.

It ain't gonna be pretty.

Probably one of the greatest understatements of all time, but ya, you're right. I feel as though the landing boats of the enemy have reached our beaches, their doors have swung open and they are rushing ashore shocked that there is no resistance. Meanwhile, throngs of American's are standing on the beach heads cheering them on not knowing they are about to be slaughtered ...

Thanks for bringing that up. I knew of the 3 1/2 year time period, but didn’t have the verse right off the top of my head. Also, the Saints who don’t take the mark will face other atrocities. Still, this conflict is very old, and has already been won, we’re just choosing sides and helping others. And we have to stand up, in whatever ways each of us can.
