Tunisia's Islamists hail arrival of the 'sixth caliphate'

Prophecy Sign:  The King of the South - an Arab Caliphate?

Hal Lindsey, ("The late great planet Earth"), is one well know bible prophecy expert who firmly believes that the Arab Spring events that have been ongoing for several months will bring about a revived Muslim caliphate. Mr. Lindsey believes this caliphate will be the fulfillment of the King of the South that we read about in the book of Daniel. If true, then news like the following certainly indicates that this prophecy is now being fulfilled before our very eyes.

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. Daniel 11:40NIV

From the article:

The Islamist politician likely to become Tunisia's first democratically elected prime minister has alarmed liberals and secularists by claiming the arrival of the "sixth caliphate", a controversial term for a Muslim empire. Hamadi Jebeli, secretary-general of Ennahda, the moderate Islamist party which romped to victory in last month's elections, told a rally in the city of Sousse: "My brothers, you are at a historic moment in a new cycle of civilizations, God willing. We are in sixth caliphate, God willing." Party officials, who have spent months insisting they wanted to pursue secular democratic politics rather than an international Islamist agenda, were forced on the defensive after his comments were posted on the internet.

The post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt is one that is characterized by increasing uncertainty. With a new government on the horizon, questions remain regarding how much influence Islamic law will have in the land. And a recent video featuring Hazem Salah Abu Ismail, an Egyptian candidate for president, simply adds to the concern. The clip, which has been analyzed and subtitled in English by Translating Jihad, shows Abu Ismail, a man the Weekly Standard says, ”may well follow Mubarak as Egypt’s first Islamist president,” making some eyebrow-raising comments.
