There's a famous hadith (something the Prophet said) that mentions the dajjal (the antichrist).
I'll share a part of it here.
We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.'

I assume more then a few here know who Shk
Imran Hosein is. He seems to be somewhat famous amongst Christians anyway.
He laid out a possible explanation for the above hadith. I'll try to share his pov from memory.
The "day like a year", was when Britain was the ruling power in the world. "Day like a month" was when America was the world power. "Day like a week" is when Israel became the world power.
Granted, its just a theory but interesting all the same.
While most probably haven't noticed, Israels been the world power for several decades at least through puppetry of all nations. China, Russia, US, all routinely bow to Israel. Proof of this is abundant if you know where to look. Even Iran with its constant "death to America" chants has mossad markings.
In a nut shell, none can challenge the anti-christ other then Jesus (as) himself. Now if the dajjal is ruling from Israel (and theres alot of things to suggest and confirm it) this is most likely the reason Israel "has so much power".
You can take project Topiat, which is basically Israel putting back doors into all the tech ("promise" software anyone?), making them the spying / tech leader they are today. You can consider there use of the Sampson option (where they've actually threatened other nations with total annihilation, including themselves via nuclear war).
But the fact that its ran by literal war criminals who are clearly above the law, suggests something more. Constantly annexing land, murdering men, woman and children with impunity, bombing hospitals and schools... What they manage to get away with, how absolutely everyone seems to be compromised, suggests something else, something unseen.
For plebs like me, this is mostly theory of course. God (swt) alone knows the reality.
According to hadith we are supposed to see 3 years of global famine before the antichrist appears in the flesh. Anyone notice the global food shortages that are occurring from this plan-demic? Seems police in Australia are
raiding food markets due to rice shortages. Currently, there are alot of videos going around with "someone"
destroying food supplies. Things might be taking a turn for the worse.
