THE BLASPHEMOUS NAMES OF ALLAH; THE BLASPHEMY OF ISLAM TOWARDS JESUS“And on each head a blasphemous name.” Blasphemy can be defined two ways. First, “Allah” claimsthe attributes of the true Triune God. This blasphemy is by a non God, such as a man, or a demonicspirit, especially Satan or Baal, the dragon and the beast. Second, the act of blasphemy is insultingor showing contempt or lack of reverence for the true Triune God. In Islam, “Allah” shows contemptfor the Deity of Jesus Christ.ISLAMIC EXAMPLES OF THE FIRST TYPE OF BLASPHEMY—TAKING ATTRIBUTES OF THE TRUE TRIUNE GODQur’an 59:23 [Allah claims to be God]Allah is He, than whom there is no other god; the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace andPerfection, the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, theSupreme: Glory to Allah! High is He above the partners they attribute to Him.Qur’an 62:1 [Allah is pure and exalted]Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah, the Sovereign, the Pure,the Exalted in Might, the Wise.Qur’an 3:92 [Allah is all knowing]You can never attain righteousness unless you spend in the cause of Allah that which you dearlycherish; and whatever you spend, surely everything is known to Allah.Qur’an 11:73 [Allah is worthy of praise]They said: "Do you wonder at Allah's decree? May Allah's mercy and His blessings be upon you, Oresidents of the household; for Allah is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory."Qur’an 22:7 [Allah will resurrect the dead]And certainly the hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. And Allah will surely resurrect those inthe graves.Qur’an 57:3 [Allah is the first and the last]Allah is the First and the Last, the outward and the inward, and Allah has the knowledge of all things.Qur’an 3:26 [Allah is sovereign]Say, O Prophet [Mohammad], “O Allah! Lord over all authorities! You give authority to whoever Youplease and remove it from who You please; You honor whoever You please and disgrace who Youplease—all good is in Your Hands. Surely You alone are Most Capable of everything.Qur’an 24:35 [Allah is light]Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp, thelamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from the oil of a blessed olive tree, located neither to the east nor the west.6 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

ISLAMIC EXAMPLES OF THE SECOND TYPE OF BLASPHEMY—INSULTING OR LACK OF REVERENCE FOR THE TRUE TRIUNE GOD.DOME OF THE ROCK BLASPHEMOUS INSCRIPTIONS[Allah is only God, Jesus is not God]“In the name of Allah, the merciful the compassionate. There is no god but Allah. He is One. He hasno associate. Unto Him belongs sovereignty and unto Him belongs praise. He gives life and Hegives death; and He has Power over all things. Mohammad is the servant of Allah and HisMessenger.”[Jesus was only a messenger]“O People of the Book! [Christians] Do not exaggerate in your religion nor speak concerning Allahsave the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and his word whichHe conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and say not'Three' - Cease! It is better for you! - Allah is only one God.”[Allah has no son]“Far be it removed from his transcendent majesty that He should have a son.”[Allah has no son]It befits not the majesty of Allah that he should take unto Himself a son.”[Allah is only God, Jesus is not God]“Lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve only him. That is the right path. Allah is witness thatthere is no god save Him. And the angels and the men of learning too are a witness.”QUR’AN VERSES BLASPHEMING JESUS THE SON OF GODQur’an 4:157 [Jesus was not crucified]And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah Jesus, son of (Mary), the Messenger ofAllah,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over anotherman, and they killed that man, and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have noknowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not.Qur’an 4:171 [Jesus is not God]O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say ofAllah aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger of Allah.Qur’an 5:75 [Jesus is not God]The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers thatpassed away before him.7 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

Rev 13:2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouthlike that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.“The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of alion.” Daniel portrays four worldly kingdoms succeeding one another (first, the Babylonian as the lion;second, the Mede-Persian as the bear, and third the Seleucid Greek as the leopard). But the fourthkingdom is represented under the form of a demonic monster and will have great iron teeth to devourthe world. When Daniel has a vision of the fourth kingdom, this terrible spiritual battle, it is so vastand frightening that Daniel was sick, ate very little, and mourned for three weeks.Daniel 10:1-3 (NIV)In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was calledBelteshazzar). Its message was true and it concerned a great war. The understanding of themessage came to him in a vision. At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate nochoice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weekswere over.SATAN GIVES HIS THRONE TO THE BEAST—ISLAMIC PRAYER MOVED TO MECCA IN 624 AD“The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.” Why would Satan, whodesires to be like God and be worshipped, be willing to transfer his throne to the beast? Yet we knowthis happened because the Bible says it did! Perhaps Satan had no choice but to transfer his throneto the beast! Satan’s throne transfer occurred in 624 AD as Islamic prayer direction was transferredfrom Jerusalem’s Temple Mount to the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.8 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

The throne of Satan (the dragon) was very important. Normally, prayer is directed towards a deitysitting on a throne. To give up the throne means to give up some aspect of receiving worship andprayer. Webster’s dictionary defines the word “throne” as follows:1. the chair of state of a sovereign or high dignitary (such as a king)2. the seat of a deity3. royal power and dignity, sovereignSATAN FIRST ORDERS PRAYER TO JERUSALEM--AND THEN HE TRANSFERS ITTO THE THRONE IN THE KAABAMohammad, the false prophet, was first directed by Satan ("Allah") to pray towards Jerusalem after hetraveled to the Temple Mount and landed on Mount Moriah (the excluded outer court of Revelation11:2). The mandatory Islamic prayer direction is called the "Qibla."SATANJERUSALEM THRONE 621-623BAALMECCA THRONE 624-TODAYThe mandatory prayer began shortly after Mohammad's night journey from Mecca to the TempleMount and back again in one night (the "Night Journey"). Then, almost inexplicably, Allah in theQur’an suddenly changed his mind and directed Mohammad to pray towards the Kaaba. Thedirection has remained towards Baal dwelling in the Kaaba ever since that day in 624 AD.THE MANDATORY ISLAMIC PRAYER TO BAAL REJECTS JESUS AS GOD“In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Say, He is Allah, the One. Allah isEternal and Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal unto Him.”THE MANDATORY ISLAMIC PRAYER TO BAAL EXALTS THE “PROUD ONE”“O Allah, how perfect You are and praise be to You. Blessed is Your name, and exalted is Yourmajesty. There is no god but You.”9 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

THE MANDATORY ISLAMIC PRAYER TO BAAL INCLUDES THE MARK OF THE BEAST-THESHAHADA“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and bear witness that Mohammad is His servantand Messenger.”HISTORY AND MEANING OF THE PRAYER DIRECTION CHANGE--THE "QIBLA"One of the more interesting Satanic phenomena of Islam is the changing of the direction of five timesper day mandatory Islamic prayer. Most people do not know that the original direction of prayer,called the “Qibla”, was to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and a few years later “Allah” changed andtold Mohammad to change Qibla direction to the Kaaba Blackstone in Mecca. Baal dwells in theKaaba and is the beast of Revelation. It has remained directed towards the Kaaba ever since thatday. Since this demonic prayer is so important, there must be a Biblical connection to the change.HISTORICAL SEQUENCE OF ISLAMIC PRAYER DIRECTION EVENTS610 Mohammad received first visit from demonic spirit calling itself “Gabriel.”610-620 Qur’an revelations received from spirit; prayer was unorganized621 Mohammad's Night Journey ("Isra and Mirja") to Temple Mount on the White Horse621 Prayer then becomes mandatory to Temple Mount622 Mohammad forced to leave Mecca for Medina623 Jews in Medina question Mohammad about prayer direction to Jerusalem624 Allah tells Mohammad to change prayer direction to Kaaba in MeccaMANDATORY PRAYER DIRECTION BEGINS WITH THE NIGHT JOURNEY TO TEMPLE MOUNTOne of the miracles of Mohammad ("signs of wonders of the false prophet") was his night journeyfrom Mecca to Jerusalem and back again. Before the miraculous night journey of Mohammad toJerusalem Temple Mount outer court and back to Mecca (the “Isra and Miraj”), Islamic prayer was notobligatory. The prayer did not become prescribed as five daily obligatory prayers until the nightjourney, which took place approximately a year or so before Mohammad's migration to Medina. Thisdemonic Islamic prayer rejects Jesus and includes the mark of the beast-the Shahada.10 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

The first direction of prayer given by Satan in the Koran did not last long. The Jews criticized the newfaith and rejected the friendly Islamic gestures; not long after, the Koran broke with them, probably inearly 624. The explanation of this change comes in a Koran verse instructing the faithful no longer topray toward Jerusalem but instead toward Mecca.The passage in Qur’an 2:142 begins by anticipating questions about this abrupt change. Thepassage in Qur’an 2:144 instructs for the direction to change to Mecca.Qur’an 2:142The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qibla, which they usedto face?" Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."Qur’an 2:144We have certainly seen the turning of your face, O Mohammad, toward the heaven, and We willsurely turn you to a qibla with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward the Kaaba in Mecca[al-Masjid al-Haram]. And wherever you believers are, turn your faces toward it in prayer. Indeed,those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is notunaware of what they do.The Bible states in 2 Corinthians 4:4 that the god of this world is Satan, and that Satan has blindedtheir minds. Qur’an 1:2 states that Allah is the god (lord) of this world. The Qur’an says Allah leadspeople astray.2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (NASB)And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the godof this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light ofthe gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.Qur’an 1:2All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.Qur’an 35:8For indeed, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let yourselfperish over them in regret. Indeed, Allah is knowing of what they do.The Allah of the Qur’an is opposed to the sacrifice of Jesus. In the Qur’an (4:157), the sacrifice ofJesus that takes away the sins of the world is disbelieved. The purpose of Islam is to take away thesacrifice of Jesus Christ.Qur’an 4:157And for their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger ofAllah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but another was made to resemble him tothem. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it exceptthe following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.11 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

SATAN’S THRONE IS AT THE DOME OF THE ROCKAt the time of the Book of Revelation was given to the Apostle John (95 AD), Jesus said Satan’sthrone was in Pergamum (Revelation 2:13). Later Satan moved his throne to Jerusalem—so thatSatan could be on top of Mount Moriah.THE FOUNDATION STONE OF MT. MORIAH UNDER THE DOME OF THE ROCK IN JERUSALEMWhen Solomon later prepared to build Israel’s first Temple, the spot he chose was the threshing floorof Araunah the Jebusite on Mount Moriah, which David had purchased for his altar (2 Chronicles 3:1–2). The “rock” Araunah used as his threshing floor is the same place where Abraham attempted tosacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22:2, 14; 2 Chronicles 3:1); where Solomon built his Temple; and whereZerubbabel built the second Temple, later known as Herod’s Temple.Today the centerpiece of this area, known as the Temple Mount, is the Muslim Dome of the Rock.This was Satan’s throne after he moved from Pergamum. Satan always wanted this holy location.2 Chronicles 3:1-2 (NIV)Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where theLord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite,the place provided by David. He began building on the second day of the second month in thefourth year of his reign.12 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

Rev 13:3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal woundhad been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.The Bible tells us the beast is from the “Abyss.” Another Biblical name for the Abyss is “Sheol.”Sheol is where angels and souls lie before judgment day. The beast of Revelation is not a human. Itis not a man. It is a demonic prince. It is a specific demonic prince. It is connected to, but is not itselfSatan. To understand the beast of Revelation we must look to Scripture. The beast of Revelationand Satan are opposed to Christ and the Gospel truth. Paul tells us in Ephesians chapter 6 that ourstruggle is not against flesh and blood, but rather “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV)Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so thatyou can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh andblood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world andagainst the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.The Bible does not say the healing of the death-blow causes worship. The Bible just says the fatalwound is healed. When Baal emerged from the Abyss most of the world, including those that prayfive time a day to the Kaaba, were unaware Baal had his wound healed. Mohammad told hisfollowers to pray to the Kaaba. Their wonder of the Kaaba leads to worship.THE WHOLE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH WONDER AND FOLLOWED THE BEAST13 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

Rev 13:4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and theyalso worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”The dual worship in Islam of both the dragon and beast is a great deception by Satan. Christiansworship one God, the Triune God of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Qur’an constantly accusesChristians of being “polytheist”, which they are not. The Qur’an stresses “strict monotheism”, but infact Satan has deceived Muslims to worship two spirits, the dragon and beast, devoutly thinking theyare just worshipping the one true God. Satan is a liar and the “father of lies.”Satan accuses Christians of worshipping multipleGods, when in fact Christians worship One God.Satan has deceived the followers of Mohammadinto thinking they worship One God, when in factthey worship both the dragon and the beast.In the Qur’an, Satan says Christians worship multiple Gods.Quran 5:73They have certainly disbelieved who say, “Allah is the third of three.” And there is no god except oneAllah. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelieversamong them a painful punishment.In the Qur’an, Satan and Baal (“We”) say Muslims worship one God.Qur’an 7:59We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have nodeity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.Qur’an 16:36And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, saying, "Worship Allah and avoid false gods."And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error wasdeservedly decreed.The truth of Jesus tells us in John 10:28-30 that Jesus and the Father are the same One God.John 10:28-30 (NIV)“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of myFather’s hand. I and the Father are one.”14 2020 Revelation Now, Ltd

WORSHIPPING BOTH THE DRAGON AND THE BEASTWORSHIPPING BOTH SATAN AND BAAL—UNDERSTANDING THE “WE” IN PLURAL PRONOUN VERSES IN THE QUR’ANPeople worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshipedthe beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The Bible makes clearthose deceived by the false prophet [Mohammad] will worship both the dragon and the beast. Satanis very clever and will never identify the false prophet, show the mark “666”, nor would he identify thebeast, as he knows the Bible has given these prophecies. Satan has read the full book of Revelation.Satan must fulfill all prophecy of Revelation, but he will do so in a way that is undetectable by most.The Bible gives the name of God to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. The Bible ascribesthe attributes of God to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. The Bible attributes the works ofGod to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. And the Bible presents the worship of God to theFather, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not rivals. TheFather loves the Son in the Holy Spirit, and the Son loves the Father in the Holy Spirit.Satan’s purpose of Islam is to take away the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, the Son of God. Thus, Islamis absolutely and vehemently opposed to Jesus as th
