Lamb & Lion Ministries is located just north of Dallas, Texas, a city at the center of the national debate over Islamic expansionism in America. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is home to 62 Sunni and 5 Shia mosques, for a total of 67 officially recognized Islamic houses of worship. The region features one of the largest and fastest-growing Muslim communities in the United States, second only to Houston.
Recent debate has raged over the development of the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), now rebranded as The Meadow, a 402-acre residential development with plans to build an Islamic K-12 school, another mosque, various retail shops, and Muslim-only housing units. Its stated purpose is to prioritize attracting Muslim residents and enforcing Islamic sharia law, which would violate state law. Championed by CAIR, a designated foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organization with ties to Hamas, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has worked hard to strip CAIR of its ability to operate in Texas. Yet he has failed to slow the growth of Islamic developments, as our nation’s pluralistic laws and religious freedoms are being used to overcome the Governor’s hurdles, and construction continues.
This past month, even after hundreds of people showed up at a McKinney council meeting to protest the McKinney Islamic Association’s plan to build a new mega-mosque, the liberal council, likely fearing being labeled Islamophobic, voted unanimously (7-0) to allow construction. Among the protesters was an Iranian who once lived under Sharia law. He explained that for centuries, Islamic strategy has been to build a mosque first to get a foothold in a community. Once established as a base of operations, the Muslim population then grows rapidly, inevitably forcing out native residents and increasingly demanding more benefits and rights beyond local law.
A growingly common sight at our local community parks is Muslims kneeling on prayer rugs, praying over the area and asking Allah to claim it. You only have to look no farther than Dearborn, Michigan, where an estimated 45,000 people gathered for what organizers say was the largest Arbaeen march ever held in the United States, to see the future of Texas, if not the entire nation.
Rised to Conquer
Islam, for all intents and purposes, appears poised to conquer, not just Texas, but the entire world.
Islam’s growth rate has risen 500% over the last 50 years as their birth rate dwarfs the birth rates of all other religions. Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population and control 65 nations. Between the twin strategies of holy war (jihad) and immigration, Muslims are expected to exceed 50% of the world’s population and surpass Christianity as the largest religion by the end of the 21st Century.
By all indications and by every statistic, Islam will indeed conquer the world. Churches will eventually become mosques. Your children will eventually become Muslims, or die for refusing. That is the direction the world is plunging towards right now.
Or, is it?
I would argue, no. Praise the Lord! Islam has an end according to the Bible. The Bible foretells of three prophetic wars that are coming soon which I believe will absolutely end Islam as a viable religion in the end times.
1) The Psalm 83 War
The first end-time war, the Psalm 83 War, strikes at the geographical heart of Islam. It’s a war in which Israel will subdue its hostile neighboring countries: Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Jordan. Since Israel was reborn on May 14, 1948, it has repeatedly fought wars and skirmishes with these nations to protect the Jewish people’s right to exist. According to Psalm 83, when this prophecy is fulfilled in full, Israel will control those bordering nations, either militarily or through peace agreements such as the Abraham Accords, and so gain a brief period of peace.
2) The Gog-Magog War (Ezekiel 38–39)
The second war which follows is found in Ezekiel 38–39. The Gog-Magog War is one of the best described prophetic wars in all the Bible, covering two whole chapters. This exciting war will be a major world-changer.
The Gog-Magog War foretells how Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, all those ‘Stan nations, and the other countries that form an outer ring of Islamic nations will war against Israel. Israel appears undefeatable after the Psalm 83 War, and so all of those nations combine into a coalition in order to make an attempt to plunder and destroy Israel.
What happens? These hordes, these uncountable armies; well Israel has no chance of standing up against them. Israel appears doomed!
However, the Bible reveals that God will make His appearance back on the earth, not physically, but He Himself personally annihilates the invading hordes, so that there’s no denying God is behind this divine rescue. God intervenes using biblical types of judgments such as fire and brimstone, making the armies turn on each other, and being decimated by earthquakes. God even rains fire down on the homelands of these invading nations. The entire coalition of Islamic armies, along with Russia, are almost utterly destroyed.
For a religion that’s based on having to destroy one’s enemies for Allah’s honor, and then Allah loses every single last days war big time, I believe these end time wars are going to stagger Islam before the Tribulation begins.
3) The Conventional War of the Tribulation (Revelation 6)
The third prophetic end time war should finally hammer the nail in the coffin of Islam.
Despite Islam’s might in the world today, there’s no mention of Islam during the Tribulation. Rather, we glean from the Bible that during the Tribulation four religions will exist. One, there will be Christianity made up of those Tribulation Saints who accepted Christ after the Rapture. Two, there’s Judaism. The Antichrist spends much of his time persecuting Tribulations Saints and Jews. Three, there’s the early Tribulation Harlot religion, made up of a conglomeration of world religions. At first she seems in charge, but the Antichrist is really just using her for his own ends. And four, halfway through the Tribulation, the Antichrist stomps out all competing religions and sets himself up as the sole object of worship.
Now, if you can’t have another religion competing with you, especially a militaristic religion like Islam which demands there are no other religions besides itself, what do you do with it? You have to annihilate it. And, the biggest populations of Muslims in the world, most don’t realize, live in Indonesia and Bangladesh and other eastern nations outside of the Middle East. So, more than likely, the Antichrist is going to spend the beginning of his reign annihilating Islam so that there’s no competitor to setting himself up as the true global ruler.
How tragic that 2 billion people will die from the Antichrist’s conventional war. But after that war, the Islamic map should be wiped clean.
In Conclusion
Looking at these three biblical end time wars, I can only conclude that Islam doesn’t have much of a future left to it. A Psalm 83 War could be fulfilled at any minute, inevitably with the destruction of Damascus (see Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49). The Gog-Magog alliance of nations already exists. Europe is so fragile that they are ready for a strong leader to take over. Everything has lined up and is in place. These world-shaking events could literally occur at any moment.
And so, according to the Bible, Islam has very little time left to it.
If you would like to discover more about Islam’s background, beliefs, goals, strategies, end time views, and learn ways to witness to Muslims, then watch my sermon “The Fate of Islam” or order the DVD.
The most shocking part of this blog post to me was about the infiltration of Dallas-Fort Worth by Islam. I had no idea. Michigan yes. But Texas? Wow! Another shocking part was finding out L&L Ministries is based in city that is controlled by liberals. That makes me not seriously wonder if L&L will be outlawed one day. I know L&L won’t be outlawed. Rather it will be abandoned. By the Rapture that is.
In the past there were serious discussions on this blog about whether Psalm 83 was prophecy or not around the time the book Israelistine by Bill Salus came out. Many of the Bible prophecy experts and L&L followers had divided views on the subject of Psalm 83. I was on the fence and never took a solid position. But with the state of the Middle East today and the infiltration and growth of Islam worldwide the view of Psalm 83 as prophecy seems the more true position.
Whether or not Psalm 83 is a prophecy that is the basis for a war that defeats Islam is moot really. I truly believe it is inevitable that Islam must and will be defeated or decimated by whatever means to the point that it is irrelevant in the final end days. This is also true of the United States of America as it isn’t a player in the final end days either. Both are soon going to pay the price for their sins and will be at a monumental cost.
Good point, Billy! The subjugation of Israel’s hostile neighbors that the Psalm 83 War achieves may be the result of the series of wars since 1948 and not one big future war. We will have to keep watching to find out.
I am awestruck at the power of God and his will that will be done!
Thank you for the very encouraging article and scripture passages on the subject, especially with the way Islam is growing so rapidly in the U.S. and elsewhere. I have always wondered though, whether the antichrist will be Muslim or use Islam, at least initially because Revelation 20:4 says …Then I saw the souls of those who had been
beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image… This makes me think of the possibility since beheading is a favorite form of Islamic execution.
Dr. Reagan offers a good analysis on why the Antichrist couldn’t be a Muslim at http://www.lamblion.com/articles/articles_islam4.php.
8-13-26 What I find more discouraging; the state America is in I would place directly at the feet of the Christian community.
I was saddened by the second half of your commentary, not because it isn’t true, but it gives the Christian who is ignorant to what is going on the opportunity to continue to ignore responsibility and stay in their self-imposed cocoon
Within my own circle of solid theological, righteous living Christians few involve themselves in any kind of work for God outside church going, tithe giving, mission trips, occasional volunteer service project. Few are seriously educated in what takes place politically within their own locality let alone worldwide.
We have been well educated in saved by grace not works, of which I am VERY GRATEFUL TO MY LORD. I am aware of the road I was on without HIM.
All my church life I was while educated into that part of my salvation BUT the church has been hesitant in going further in growing Christians up to understanding where the response of a grateful heart might lead.
Ephesians 2:10 follows Ephesians 2:8-9. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Part of my devotions today were Titus 3:8 and 14 (NKJ)
(8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be care to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
(14) And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Anyway thanks for letting me share why I think we are in the mess we are in America, a nation founded by Christians. I Peter 4:17
Seeing that Iran will be in unison with Russia and other Islamic nations, how is going to play with the conflict between the US and Iran today? Will they be decimated? Will they not have to be spared due their involvement with the Ezekial 37 38 prophecy?
Who leads Iran during the War of Gog and Magog is currently a conundrum. We would naturally think that the current Shiite leadership and their obsession with destroying Israel would make them logically anxious to join the invading coalition. The only caveat with that notion is that, whether Shiite or Sunni, all Muslims are commanded to kill the Jews (Hadith, Sahih of al-Bukhari: Book 041, Number 6985). Yet Sheba and Dedan (the Arab nations) stand back and do not join the invasion (Ezekiel 38:13).
Only time will tell, but since God Himself supernaturally destroys the Gog-Magog alliance, the war would appear to occur after the Rapture and just before or at the onset of the Tribulation. For details concerning the timing of the War of Gog and Magog, please see https://christinprophecy.org/articles/timing-gog-magog/.
These 3 end times wars will destroy Islam. It’s good to know God is fully in charge over the future of evil. Those of us who know the truth have keen insight as to the events that will take place. When I read Ezekiel 38:1 (Russia, and other nations, Islamic nations as well,). and saw the power of God’s sovereignty over every other power on earth, I was awe struck. Ezekiel 3:1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mesheck and Tubal and prophesy against him and say, Thus says the Lord God: behold, ( I am against you O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal,). And I will turn you about and put hooks into your Jaws, and I will bring you out and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of the with buckler and shield, wielding swords. The hook in the jaws is oil and God is going to hook them and reel them into Israel. Ezekiel 38: 16. Many pastors have elaborated on this. You will come against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. Ezekiel 38: 21. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22. With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the man peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur. 23. I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord. (The Battle is Gods,) and he is going to wipe out Israel’s enemies. Many ask will these absolutely catastrophic, phenomenal events be scene with today’s technology and internet? It will be a life and game changer for the unbelieving world.
I believe the Lord will stay His hand of judgement on the US as long as we support Israel.
