The Chinese believe that Tienamin Square is the center of the universe and they have real nukes. Why don’t they demand that they say get to say what time it is?

I doubt that they are going to do anything more sophisticated than install a GPS receiver and set their clocks at some constant offset from UTC, that offset being determined by the longitude of Mecca furnished by their GPS receiver. If the GPS constellation ever goes down, they would have no way of knowing what time it is.

"Mecca Time"...
Isn't that when civilization stopped in that part of the world, 632 A.D.?

And he [the AntiChrist] shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
- Daniel 7:25-26, KJV

This will basically set a new meridian. Greenwich is the current standard and is the basis of stellar navigation. The sky is measured north-south in azimuth, but east-west is done in hours of ascension, with Greenwich the zero point, a line from pole to pole going through the Royal Observatory’s transit telescope.
It’s a new year when Sirius transits the meridian at midnight.
Establishing a Muslim meridian will have more consequences than just time zones.
I expect that once the new meridian is declared by the Saudis, the UN will be pressured to take it up and implement it.
Then, there will be Muslim maps that show Earth with a new gridline on it, with zero not at Greenwich (where the imperialist crusaders selfishly put it) but through Mecca.

I would imagine employers will have to have a special time clock for muslims.

Didn’t the Nazi’s set there clocks based on Berlin time? No comparison here other than there seems to be a common thread of world conquest.

Wow! Prophetically this is big.
See Daniel 7:25 where the prophet is speaking about the “beast”:
“And he will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to MAKE ALTERATIONS IN TIMES AND IN LAW...” (emphasis mine)
I have heard eschatology teachers talking about how the antichrist will change dates (completely get rid of B.C, A.D and change the year). I hadn't thought about resetting the clocks for Mecca time.

Post # 45.
Is is just me, or does the shape of the mosque at the base of that tower look like a gas pump nozzle to anyone else?
