MECCA: a major sign of THE END

MECCA: a major sign of the END TIMES

With the coming of the Beast 666 in 1990 (UN Res 666) and the New Jerusalem (Mecca) in 1994, the second coming is only a matter of time.

The possibility of it happening in our lifetime is very real indeed

Revelation 21:12 “It had a great high wall with 12 gates…”

          A Muslim who is familiar with the Masjid Al Haram in the city of Mecca will immediately recognize what the biblical Revelation 21:12-27 is alluding to. What will strike him as odd or maybe absurd is the fact that it is plucked out of the Bible.

            Only a fraction of the more than one billion Muslims around the world are familiar with Mecca and its environs. One trip to Mecca like a Hajj pilgrimage will not adequately familiarize the faithful with the Masjid Al Haram. It is the most sophisticated, most frequented place of worship on the planet; it is always full of worshippers 24/7 all year round.

            I have read the four gospels of the Bible long before I ever set hands on the English translation of the Holy Qur’an. I have lived with Christian friends all my life. My wife used to be a Seventh Day Adventist, the closest Christian sect to Jewish practices and to some extent to Islam. I went to church with my Christian friends believing that religion is very much an affair of the heart. When I took the medical licensure board examination, my study group and I paid for a special prayer in one of the landmark churches in the Philippines at Antipolo, Rizal. When I stood as a sponsor to one of the nurses in the hospital during her wedding, I took the Holy Communion. My wife in the crowd was horrified but to her surprise, I kneeled down before the priest and took the holy bread. Later, I told my wife that Niyah (intention) is the hallmark of faith. A non-Muslim for instance may recite the ‘Sajida’, a declaration of faith in Islam a thousand times and it will be meaningless unless he means in his heart what he is saying or doing. I believe that such an act didn’t make me less of a Muslim than I already was. The more I read the Bible and the more I associate with my Christian friends, the more I realise how true and correct Islam is in comparison. I tried to read the book of revelation at earlier times but I didn’t go through with it. It made no sense then. Like any other dream, it is an exaggeration until I re-discovered it during the Gulf War of 1991.

            I had no doubt whatsoever (when I first read in the Bible the graphic description of the New Jerusalem) that it is referring to the ‘Haram Mosque’ in Mecca. I searched everywhere for an aerial photo of Masjid Al Haram (Haram Mosque) but when I found one, I was terribly disappointed. There were only 9 (3x3) gates not 12 (3x4) as prescribed in the Bible.
