CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ISLAM AND THE GOAL OF WORLD DOMINATION

Satan’s goal has always been to cause the inhabitants of the earth to worship him rather than God. As such, Satan has long had a very specific plan to raise up his own worship movement that will cover the face of the earth. Those who believe the Bible know this to be true. Through the Antichrist and his False Prophet the Bible says that Satan will come very close to achieving his goal just prior to the return of Jesus.

The dragon [Satan] gave the beast [the Antichrist] his power and his throne and great authority.… And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. (Revelation 13:2, 4–8)

This future worship movement will touch “every tribe, people, language, and nation.” The Bible teaches that at this time, whoever is not a worshipper of the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ will eventually be deceived into worshiping Satan, the invisible spirit behind the deceptive worship movement. As we have already seen, the vehicle that Satan uses to bring about his own movement is the Antichrist and his “beast kingdom,” a powerful empire with an equally powerful military machine. Daniel the Prophet describes this empire and its military as a force “terrifying and frightening and very powerful” that “will devour the whole earth.”

After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left.… The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. (Daniel 7:7, 23; emphasis mine)

Thus the Bible gives us a clear picture of the nature of Satan’s final swan song before Jesus casts him into the Lake of Fire for eternity. The Bible has clearly forewarned us of Satan’s coming empire, the goal of which will be nothing less than total world domination. The demands of this empire will be much more than mere allegiance to its governmental role—it will be total submission to and worship of its leader, the Antichrist, and, ultimately, the devil. Again, whoever does not submit to this brutal religious system will become its target.
