Books with author Michael D. Fortner

(Version 1.3 March 2019) The KJV Only (KJO) believers accuse modern Bibles of being corrupt because they remove many words and phrases and even whole verses, removing enough text to equal 1st and 2nd Peter, and make many other changes. So the author investigated the issue. The question he set out to answer was, are the claims of the KJO believers accurate, or are the modern Bibles more accurate than the KJV?The author never expected his investigation to turn into a book, because there are already several books supporting both sides. However, his skill-set is thinking outside the box and figuring things out, as seen in his other books. As such, he has some new insights and surprising discoveries to offer. The reader will learn that the Greek text of the KJV is not as corrupt as we have been told and that modern Bibles are far more corrupt than you would ever imagine.Westcott and Hort, the creators of the questioned Greek New Testament text, both despised evangelicals and their literal view of Scripture. There are many quotes from them proving their liberal unbelief. Though they were officially Anglican bishops, they were actually secret Unitarians because only members of the Church of England could be college professors or hold a government job. So they kept their liberal unbelief a secret, but it was revealed after their deaths by the publication of their private letters. Their purpose was to produce a liberal Bible that Unitarians, then and today, love. The advocates for the modern Bible versions want us to believe that all the modern Bibles are the authentic Words of God, even though they are all different. The modern translations pretty much include or leave out what they want, since that was how the Greek master-text was created. It causes people to doubt the reliability of the Bible, and to doubt the truth of Christianity. Apparently, God cannot make up his mind what he wants to say, so he says whatever these "experts" want him to say, and it changes with each new edition of the Greek master-text, and each new translation that comes out.If you don't like this book you can return the eBook OR the print book to amazon for a full refund.NOTICE: A reviewer of this book makes the false claim that the author says John Wycliffe died of a stroke. But the book CLEARLY says on page 34 of the print edition that Wycliffe was murdered: "He was burned at the stake with a copy of his Bible hung around his neck. Then later in 1428 his bones were dug up and burned; that is how much he was hated."

(Version 3, Nov. 2019) Now with important new information and insights. Michael D. Fortner takes a fresh new look at Bible prophecy and presents strong evidence that the coming beast and false prophet of the book of Revelation are based solidly in Islam and Muhammad. When the head of the beast has a fatal wound, it represents the death of the Ottoman Empire in World War 1. Which means it will come back to life again to wage jihad upon the world. The second beast of Revelation is Islam, the two horns representing the two factions: Sunni and Shite. Islam has encoded in its teachings— murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4:171; 18:4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). Islam ruled the second largest empire in history that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of China. Millions of Christians have already suffered and died under Islam’s armies of conquest, and Christians are still dying today in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Sudan, and many other places. The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. This book includes a history of Islam's war on Christianity. No one could invent a more evil cult.For hundreds of years the Muslims of North Africa captured European ships, and then American ships, and enslaved the passengers and crews. They even raided coastal towns and dragged people out of churches and into slavery where they were beaten and abused in order to pressure them to convert to Islam.This new book presents the history of Islam's war against Christianity to show how and why it is the beast of Revelation. It also includes Daniel 11. The details presented is like no other book.For example: The verses of the Quran are called, “miraculous signs,” and Rev. 13 says that the false prophet deceives people with “miraculous signs” (NIV). Fortner’s interpretation of Revelation is truly eye-opening. The mark of the beast is also presented with new and enlightening information. Even the image of the beast has a surprising new interpretation.But the beast's empire will not rule the entire planet. The author proved that there will never be a one-world government, many times over, in Book One. This is Book Two in the Bible Prophecy Revealed series. You will get the most out of this book if you have read the first one, titled Discoveries in Bible Prophecy, but it is not required. There are other books out that correlate what Islam teaches with the expected Antichrist, but they do not have the details found in this book. The author actually proves that some of the details in the other books are wrong. For example, he proves that the new theory on the mark of the beast taught by Walid Shoebat and Joel Richardson is totally wrong.IntroductionChapter 1 The Beast of EmpireChapter 2 The Quran and HadithChapter 3 A Brief History of IslamChapter 4 The Ottoman EmpireChapter 5 The Scarlet BeastChapter 6 Civilization JihadChapter 7 The False ProphetChapter 8 The Mark, Name, & Number of the BeastChapter 9 Historical ViewsChapter 10 The AntichristChapter 11 Final WordsSelected Bibliography

Michael D. Fortner's latest book, presents new and enlightening discoveries from over 30 years of research into Bible prophecy. This new look at Bible prophecy presents strong evidence that the coming beast and false prophet of the book of Revelation are based solidly in Islam and Muhammad. When the head of the beast has a fatal wound, it represents the death of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire in World War 1. Which means this is the "head" that will come back to life again to wage jihad upon the world. The second beast of Revelation is Islam, the two horns representing the two factions: Sunni and Shite. Islam has encoded in its teachings-- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.

They even raided coastal towns and dragged people out of churches and into slavery where they were beaten and abused in order to pressure them to convert to Islam. This book shows how and why the beast of Revelation is based in Islam. It also includes Daniel 11. The details presented is like no other book. For example: The verses of the Quran are called, "miraculous signs," and Rev. 13 says that the false prophet deceives people with "miraculous signs" (NIV).
