Is Islam Mentioned in the Bible?
When I first announced that some old prophecies possibly foretold what Islam will do, there were a few skeptics. But before I go any further let's consider what a man in the mid-19th century suggested based on his understanding of scripture. At the time, the Muslim Ottoman empire was still a leading world power. And European nations were afraid. Islam had been striking fear into the heart of Europe for 400 years.
Then in 1838 a scholar named Josiah Litch, announced publicly that the mighty Ottoman Empire "will lose supremacy on August 11, 1840." Many thought what an OUTRAGEOUS comment and an absurd speculation on PROPHECY. Would you stick your neck out like this man did? He wasn't suggesting this to a few friends the whole world knew he had predicted it and most people found it very hard to accept what Litch was saying.
Not only did Litch announce that this unlikely event would take place "two years from now, in 1840," but more than that, he pushed his prophecy further: "It is going to happen in the month August that year. And not just in August, but on the 11th day of August... in that very year, month, and day, and at no other time!"
