A Hookah and the Antichrist
Recently a next-door neighbor held a hookah party. The smell was foul and clearly against the terms of the lease specifying no smoking so I had to complain.
When I went over I saw an apartment full of young professionals all huddled around a very large hookah which stood on a coffee table surrounded by sofas. The sight instantly brought to mind the Book of Revelation and how the hookah resembled the dragon with multiple heads as depicted in the book of revelation.
Since the Muslim faith was 'invented' after the book of revelation was written could the symbolism of the dragon coming out of the water with multiple heads be indicative of the middle eastern culture that used the hookah as a unifying activity as the hookah uses water with multiple 'heads' as the individual smoking tips.
I wonder if the heads of the dragon represent a cultural division and hierarchy instead of a political division such as geographical nations. Is the dragon symbolic of Islam since at the time of the writing of the Book of Revelation Islam didn't exist. By depicting Islam as the dragon God is foretelling the emergence of the Muslim faith that will culminate in the arrival of an Islamic Antichrist.
In any event believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the true messiah and rest assured that you'll spend eternity with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit in heaven forever!
God Bless
