Allah is About to Lose his Akbar

on Sunday, July 20, 2025 by Bill Salus

This article is taken from the appendix called, “The Xenocide of the Gods of the Earth!” in my book entitled, “Isralestine, the Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East.”

The Jewish prophet Zephaniah declares the one true God will reduce to nothing all the false gods of the Earth. Presently, the population on Earth has a multiplicity of gods competing for their worship. Estimates suggest there are more gods masquerading about than there are days in a calendar year.

For example, the Muslims have Allah and the Hindu’s have Shiva, Krishna, Brahma, Vishnu, and many more. Zephaniah informs us that his God, Jehovah, will execute the xenocide[i] of these and every other god imposter parading himself or herself about the Earth!

“The LORD will be awesome to them, For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the Earth; People shall worship Him, Each one from his place, Indeed all the shores of the nations.” (Zeph. 2:11, nkjv; emphasis added)

If the major premise reduces to nothing the entire menu of gods, apart from the God Jehovah of the Jews and Christians, then the minor premise must be that the miscellaneous false religions of the world will likewise be reduced to nothing, since their gods will soon be famished. This means that approximately two-billion Muslims scattered amongst the nations of the world will find themselves at some point in time without their god Allah.

Contrary to teachings from some mosques, synagogues and pulpits, Allah the god of Islam is different from Jehovah. Ask an Islamic terrorist on his way to blow himself up if he thinks Allah and Jehovah are one in the same. His final words are not Jehovah Jireh, which means, “the LORD Jehovah will provide;” rather, he utters the words Allah Akbar, translated as “Allah is the greatest,” defining Allah as the greater god.

Zephaniah inserts this powerful one-passage prophecy in the midst of prophecies associated with judgments outsourced from God against several modern-day Middle Eastern, Islamic nations. I outline this judgment sequence further in the chapter called, “A Call to Caution,” in my book entitled, “Isralestine, the Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East.” It is in the context of this judgment against the nations oppressing the Jews that the God of the Jews states He will assault the gods (lowercase g) of the Earth, and in so doing, reduce them to nothing.

Zephaniah goes on to say people will then turn their worship toward Him, rather than the famished gods of the Earth. This worldwide worship will exist in the Messianic Kingdom. Therefore, the god-reduction process must occur in advance of the kingdom age.

Zephaniah inserts this god-reduction declaration at the conclusion of judgments prophesied against Moab and Ammon in Zeph. 2:8–9. At the time of Zephaniah’s prophetic ministry, approximately 630 to 620 BC, both Moab and Ammon worshipped two notable “gods of the Earth.” Moab worshipped Chemosh, and Ammon Milcom. To the Jews of Zephaniah’s time, these gods, along with Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, were two of the more prominent god figures on the scene. Their reductions in prominence are described as follows:

“For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.” (Jer. 48:7, nkjv; emphasis added)

“Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh perish; For your sons have been taken captive, And your daughters captive.” (Jer. 48:46, nkjv; emphasis added)

“Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is plundered! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth! Lament and run to and fro by the walls; For Milcom shall go into captivity With his priests and his princes together.” (Jer. 49:3, nkjv; emphasis added)

These passages allude to the defeat and captivity of the peoples, priests, princes, and their gods Chemosh and Milcom. The theme of defeat, plunder, captivity, and god reduction all worked hand-in hand, and was well understood in historic times. Ancient armies commonly prayed to their deity for victory before entering into battle. In defeat, the conclusion was that the god of the victor was greater than the god of the loser.

Scriptural references to the concept of gods protecting the peoples and the lands:

“Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand?” (2 Chr. 32:13)

“He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel and to speak against Him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”” (2 Chr. 32:17)

“Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their countries from my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from my hand?’” (Isaiah 36:20)

“Has any of the gods of the nations at all delivered its land from the hand of the king of Assyria?” (2 Kings 18:33)

The famishing and resulting captivity of a god finds its end and greatest example in the book of Revelation:

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:1–2, nkjv; emphasis added)

The point is that God, through a series of defeats accomplished through varying means, accomplishes His purpose of the Zephaniah passage. These gods will be famished by God. He will shrivel all the gods of the Earth and, in the case of Moab and Ammon, they will experience defeat at the hands of the Israeli Conquest; their gods will be reduced in stature.

“I have heard the reproach of Moab [Central Jordan], And the insults of the people of Ammon [Northern Jordan], With which they have reproached My people, And made arrogant threats against their borders. Therefore, as I live,” Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah; Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people [Israel] shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.” (Zeph. 2:8–9, nkjv; emphasis added)

“Therefore, behold the days are coming,” says the LORD, “That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war In Rabbah of the Ammonites; It shall be a desolate mound, And her villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the LORD.” (Jer. 49:2, nkjv; emphasis added)

Check the historical records and it appears this defeat at the hands of the Jewish military over Moab and Ammon has not occurred. If this is the case, then should this conquest occur in the not-so-distant future, the god reduced would be Allah, presently the god of worship in Moab and Ammon, which is geographically located in modern-day central and northern Jordan.

Islam became the monotheistic package of the polytheistic religions of the region. The former gods of the Middle East have generally submitted their worshippers into the care of the one capricious god now known as Allah. At the time of Zephaniah and Jeremiah’s prophetic ministries, there was no Jordan; rather, it was Ammon, Moab, and Edom (Southern Jordan). Similarly, there was no Allah, only Chemosh and Milcom.

Yet it is clear, that if we are told Satan himself will be reduced, then certainly Allah, since he is not one in the same with Jehovah, will be likewise famished.

God will not necessarily complete the famishing of Allah at the conclusion of the Israeli Conquest, as this segment of Israel’s prophetic future appears to be limited to the surrounding nations of the region listed in Psalm 83:6–8, Zechariah 12:2-6 and elsewhere. (Refer to the IDF in the Pre-Tribulation Prophecies image and the Psalm 83 map).

Islam as a religion has expanded far beyond Israel’s Arab neighbors into the borders of Iran, Russia, Turkey, Libya, and many other countries. However, by the conclusion of the Magog Invasion He will have devastated most of Islam.
