believe Muhammad was the last prophet.” We do know that
Satan will use any means possible to deceive people. He has
been known to counterfeit the work of God.
The Muslim religion
began by a vision, which Muham-
mad had while in a cave in Mount Hira,
Saudi Arabia at the age
of 40. He was concerned that he might be hearing from demons
but his wife, who was much older,
encouraged him to keep re-
citing what he had seen.

Muhammad supposedly heard from
the angel Gabriel. These recitations were written down and ed-
ited many times and eventually compiled into the Quran.
Joseph Smith, the founder of
the Mormon religion said
he was visited by extra terrestrial beings in upstate New York.
At age 14, he supposedly discovered records of the last white
Nephite buried by the angel Moroni. We know Satan can ap-
pear as an angel of light. That’s
why we must know our God
and His Word intimately to recognize deception. We also thank
God for the Holy Spirit who will lead us into all truth.
Patients Ask For Maps, Seek Passports
Just recently, I read a very interesting article in the Los
Angeles
Times on Monday, June 14, 2004 in which it reports
that many near death patients ask for maps and are frustrated
because they don’t have a passport.
Hospice nurses report that
many of the patients who were nearing death talked during mo-
ments when awake of their many travels. They try to communi-
cate what is happening to them and ask for maps.
One
young man, Kenny Reitman was an avid biker be-
fore he died of bone marrow cancer. In his final days, he told
his family about his travels and being “stuck
in passport con-
trol.”
