It is suggested that that fearsome movement which has appeared today, will be defeated only through a heavenly strength obtained from the uniting of the Christian world with Islam; that is, from the Gospels uniting with the Qur'an and following it, which indicates that the time has come to await the second coming of Jesus (Upon whom be peace).
