VFTB 343: Dr. Timothy Furnish – Battle of Dabiq: First Shot in the Apocalypse or the End of ISIS?

IS THE coming battle for the village of Dabiq, Syria the fulfillment of Islamic prophecy or the beginning of the end for the Islamic State?

Actually, probably neither. Dr. Timothy Furnish, author of Ten Years’ Captivation With the Mahdi’s Camps: Essays on Muslim Eschatology, 2005-2015, offers a primer on Sunni eschatology, insight into what may follow, and opinion as to why the West seems so unprepared to deal with the Islamic State.
