Also an Earthquake is set to happen in Israel when the two witnesses finish their testimony and the beast from the Abyss overpowers them so that
Temple Mount will have to be reconstructed by someone, by that time I doubt anyone would want to be part of that plan in doing so.
Revelation 11
11 But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who
saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies
looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the
survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.

Either there will be a false version of the Mahdi with no power, or a devilish being will be filling that title.
Or there will be a powerful being who is not Islamic in nature but will decieve all religions to believe him who will set up his place at Israel on
Temple Mount.
This who Islamic thing is going to confuse people and maybe that is its plan, at least they have over a Billion followers to help do the fighting
either way at least a Billionpeople on either side will be decieved.
