Daniel Prophecy Matches Umar Caliph of Islam

Daniel prophecy matches Umar the caliph following Abu Bakr after Mohammad the False Prophet. The Bible gives 31 accurate prophecies about a future Islamic king in Daniel 11: 36-45. Many believe this person is the future Antichrist, but it is not. Umar the second Islamic caliph fulfilled all 31 prophecies of Daniel–exactly!

Every point Daniel uses about this King accurately describes the life, conquests and unique death of the Islamic caliph Umar. Daniel wrote about Umar 1,200 years before it happened. Only the Bible has accurate prophecy. Books not inspired by God, such as the Islamic Koran, have no fulfilled prophecy.

Daniel was taken captive in 605 BC as part of the Babylonian captivity of Israel. Daniel finished his work around the year 530 BC, shortly after the capture of Babylon by Cyrus of Persia in 539 BC. In the book of Daniel (Daniel 11:36-45 and 7:23-25) he sees a future king who treats the Holy People very badly.

This King defeats three kings, invades Israel, order two abominations (Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque) set up on the Temple Mount, and changes the set times and laws.

After Mohammad died in 632, his first caliph successor was Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr died in 634, Umar took his place as the second caliph. Umar was Islamic caliph from 634 to 644 and was responsible for most Islamic victories in the Middle East. Umar matches all the of Daniel prophecies.

Daniel 11 (NIV)

36 The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.

37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all.

38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[or land for a reward]

40 “At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand.

42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushites [or people from the upper Nile region] in submission.

44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many.

45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at [or the sea and] the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
