Islam & Christianity in Prophecy

The thesis: Daniel 11 (Daniel 11:1 - 12:4) is a chronological prophecy that covers the same time periods as the prophecies of Daniel 2, 7, and 8 in sequence. It reveals the historical phases of the king of the North and the king of the South. Tim identifies the historical players throughout the chapter. The three phases in the latter part of Daniel 11 are (1) the Christianity/Islam conflicts called the crusades of the Arab phase, (2) the Christianity/Islam conflicts of the Ottoman phase, and (3) a third phase that has not yet happened. Tim shows that the North/South pattern of Christian/Muslim conflict is clear in the first two phases, and that according to the pattern set up in the chapter, the last phase of king of the North/king of the South conflict will also be Christian/Muslim in nature. He continues on in the book to examine the role of the papacy, the US, Israel, Islam, and other players in Daniel 11. The third and last phase of Christian/Muslim conflict precipitates the end-time scenario the Adventist Church teaches, with the alliance of the papacy and western "Christian" powers persecuting the saints, instituting the mark of the beast, and precipitating the plagues and the Second Coming.
