Empire (Caliphate )

prophecies about the coming of the
Muslim Caliphate that will rule the

word land” in the Bible refers to
Palestine and the lands nearby as
stressed in the Bible, especially the
Promise of Abraham.

DANIEL THEN GIVES THE
INTERPRETATION

13. DANIEL THEN GIVES THE
INTERPRETATION
Nebuchadnezzar is the head
of gold: he has been given
dominion by God.
After him another kingdom
who will arise, inferior to his
Which in turn will be followed
by a kingdom of bronze which
will rule over the whole earth.

14. DANIEL THEN GIVES THE
INTERPRETATION

of gold: he has been given
dominion by God.
After him another kingdom
who will arise, inferior to his
Which in turn will be followed
by a kingdom of bronze which
will rule over the whole earth.
The a fourth kingdom of iron
will come, but it will be a
divided, partly strong like iron
and partly brittle like clay.

15. DANIEL THEN GIVES THE
INTERPRETATION
The a fourth kingdom of iron
will come, but it will be a
divided, partly strong like iron
and partly brittle like clay.
In that time God will set up a
final kingdom, the rock not cut
by human hands, which will
smash all the others.

16. HISTORICIST INTERPRETATION
The following Historicist interpretation of the vision of the image has
traditionally been prevalent among Christian scholars since the 1st
CE.

17. THE FIRST KINGDOM
 The head of the statue
refers to the Babylon
empire that ruled Judea
and the lands around it.
 It is the kingdom that king
belongs to.
Head Of Gold Babylon

18. THE SECOND KINGDOM
The Persians defeated the
Babylonians whom
Nebuchadnezzar was among
its kings in 539 BC.
Breast and arms of silver
Medo-Persia Empire

19. THE THIRD KINGDOM
Then came the Greek, the
second Kingdom, and
defeated the Persians and
put their hands on Palestine
in 331 BC
Belly and thighs of brass
Hellenistic Greece

20. THE FOURTH KINGDOM
Represents the Roman Dynasty
which conquered Palestine after
the downfall of Greek.
Feet partly of iron and partly of
molded clay -The divided
Roman Empire
Legs Of Iron Rome

21. This description represented some
internal troubles in this dynasty,
Representing the Roman empire with
Legs of iron refers to its division later
into two kingdoms; the Eastern and
the western, this supports the fact that
the end of the Roman Empire was in
638-640 Ad, not when the downfall of
the western part in 476 because
Palestine remained under the
possession of the eastern part.

22. THE FIFTH KINGDOM
Rock Kingdom of God
What is the fifth kingdom?
o The fifth empire (the kingdom of God) is the Muslim nation.
o The first one who discovered this was a famous Christian priest
David Benjamin, who embraced Islam.
o The Muslim nation defeated the Romans and expelled them from the
Palestine and the lands nearby in 638 Ad
o The Muslim nation is kingdom of God because it is a monotheistic
nation that call for the worship of God alone
Please note that Christian scholars always ignore Islam as religion sent from
God.When they face a challenge like that in any prophecy talking about Islam
and doesn't fit Jesus, they would claim:This will happen when Jesus returns.
The prevalent view of the Christian scholars is that there will be a comeback of
the Roman Empire that will be led by Jesus.
Please note: the Christian scholars ignore the Islamic Empire that ruled the
land for more than one thousand years.

23. DESPERATE ATTEMPTS
o They never controlled the blessed land
before they became one empire
o Historians always considered them both
one empire
o The Holy book considered them both one
empire(5:28) , they are represented with a
ram with two horns, each one represents
one of the two joined parts.
To avoid the fact that the 5th kingdom, which
would be the kingdom of God, is the Muslim
nation, some claim that both the Persian and
the maiden dynasty are two separate
dynasties. This is wrong because of:

24. ANOTHER DESPERATE ATTEMPT
o This is wrong as the first few verses are
talking clearly about the Babylonian Empire
to which the king belongs to.
Some Christian missionaries consider the
Assurain kingdom is the first so that the
Roman Empire will be the 5th. This is
wrong

25. o Given the fact that the 4th empire had
actually ruled Palestine . Don’t you think it is
ridiculous the fifth Roman empire will
remove the fourth Roman Empire,
Romans defeats Romans. Do the Romans
rule Palestine now?
However we will put our minds aside and we will
accept this desperate interpretation, There Is
Another Question, The Most Important Of All:
They Foolishly Claim that the fifth
empire is a Roman empire that will rise again.
ANOTHER DESPERATE ATTEMPT

26. 1. Babylonian
2. Persian
3. The Greek
4. The Roman
5. The Islamic ( During Which The Majority Of
Palestine Turned To Islam)
6. Then The Roman
If you believe that a certain Roman empire will
come in the end, you will be shattering the
whole prophecy since the prophecy
determines four dynasties that will control
Palestine before the coming of the kingdom of
God.
Please note that the prophecy is talking about
four kingdoms in succession then the fifth is
the kingdom of God- not the sixth

27. Islam is a TRUE RELIGION SENT FROM GOD
The Holy book is filled with many glad-tidings about the prophet of
Islam
Though his name was obliterated and many attempts were made
to modify verses talking about him to fit Jesus, his name is still
there in many codices that are found recently.
Islam is the sole religion that calls for pure monotheism.
Don’t believe lies about Islam.
