Change Times

The book of Daniel tells us in chapter 7, verse 25;
He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws.

The "he" that Daniel is speaking about is non other than the Antichrist who will rule over The Tribulation.

So we know that Antichrist will try to change set times when he appears on scene...so we should be seeing some foreshadowing of this event... seeing that the Bible thinks it is significant enough to mention it.

And here is the headline in today's Telegraph;
Giant Mecca clock seeks to call time on Greenwich

And also the headline on yesterday's AOL News;
Saudis Want 'Mecca Time' to Replace GMT

For more than a century, a point on the top of a hill in south-east London has been recognised as the centre of world time and the official starting point of each new day.

But now the supremacy of Greenwich Mean Time is being challenged by a gargantuan new clock being built in Mecca, by which the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims could soon be setting their watches.

Due to start ticking on Thursday as the faithful begin fasting during the month of Ramadan, the timepiece sits atop the Royal Mecca Clock Tower which dominates Islam’s holiest city.

The clock’s four faces are 151ft in diameter and will be illuminated by 2million LED lights along with huge Arabic script reading: “In the name of Allah”. The clock will run on Arabia Standard Time which is three hours ahead of GMT.

When a glittering spire is added, topped with a crescent to symbolise Islam, the edifice will stand at nearly 2,000 ft, making it the world's second tallest building.

The clock of Big Ben, by comparison, is just 23ft in diameter, while its tower stands at a mere 316ft.

Residents of Mecca will also be reminded that it is time to pray when 21,000 green and white lights, visible at a distance of 18 miles, flash five times a day.

Friends....this is a tad freaky. It is 100% certain that Islam wants to rule the world. I don't blame them for that, because after all, didn't we enjoy ruling the world for the past 70 years? But what is freaky is that the Muslims may take over a lot of the world without even a sword fight simply because The West is so sound asleep, apathetic and complacent. Most U.S. voters don't know what Islam is, don't know what it wants to do...and the most scary thing is that they don't care!

No doubt Islam will be part of the Antichrist's one world religion...and who knows...he may order the world to follow this very clock in Mecca!

How close may we be to the day when "He" stands on planet earth and demands that the world reset our watches to Mecca Time and change our calendars from being oriented towards Christ?

I believe that day may be a lot closer than most people think.
