JD: The word Allah Akbar seems to be used when these terrorists go into churches or for example when the man in New York City drove a truck into a bunch of cyclist on a pedestrian street there in New York City they would yell Allah Akbar. Now I have always thought that Allah Akbar was defined Allah is great but I understand that what it really is translated to mean Allah is the greatest. In other words they want to get rid of anyone that opposes the Islamic faith. Am I correct on that definition and is that why they’re yelling this out every time they do a terrorist attack?
SH: Dr. DeYoung you are absolutely correct and it is some times frustrating when you see the media use that term and constantly translate it as just simply well they’re just saying God is great. Allah Akbar always always has meant the word Akbar itself means above the highest or the greatest. So, it is a chance of dominance. It is why they are doing it. In Islam they call it the tacked fear. It’s what Moslems do even during their prayer time where they have to say the tacked fear. It’s a chance of supremacy because Allah is the greatest according to what they are saying. And that’s why it is consistently shouted when there is a Jihadi attack when there is an attack that is as you defined would be terrorism it is consistently shouted and it is consistently a sign that they are saying they are being victorious. And we don’t seem to understand that and we want to minimize it by saying oh they’re just saying their God is great and that’s just not the accurate translation.
So, thank you for bringing that up because that is something we have to change in our terminology so that we can accurately depict what is happening.
JD: Shahram Hadian born in Iran and now a Christian leader here in America with the true meaning of the phrase Allah Akbar.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Islamic nations play a key role in the prophetic scenario
that is found in Bible prophecy. Those passages of scripture would be Daniel
11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 where these nations are listed.
The call to victory Allah Akbar is actually saying that the
Islamic God is the greatest of all Gods which is Biblically incorrect. The God
of the Bible is the only true God that is all-powerful, the greatest and the
Biblical God that will defeat the Islamic God as foretold in Ezekiel
38:18-39:6.
