Nigeria: At Least 16 Killed After Muslim Gunmen Attack Villages, Numerous Homes Destroyed
For peaceful purposes …
Acts 14:22b, “… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
Christian Today – “Armed gunmen believed to be Muslim Fulani herdsmen have attacked a cluster of villages in Plateau state, killing 16 Christians and destroying numerous homes, Christian leaders said.
According to a story by Morning Star News, the assailants, reportedly dressed in military camouflage, shot randomly as they struck Torok, Gwon, Gwarim, Gwareng and Rim villages in Rim District of the Riyom Local Government Area west of Jos.
Musa Gunduma Dang of Gwon village said they killed his mother, wife, four children and three other relatives.
‘They shot sporadically and set my house ablaze, killing all members of my family, and the entire village has been destroyed,’ Dang said.
Daniel Bitrus Manjang, a pastor with the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), told Morning Star News the attacks were ‘very tragic’.
‘About 200 houses were burned, and 16 Christians were killed,’ said Manjang, a resident of Rim.
About 10 years ago Manjang lost his father, Rev Bitrus Manjang, a former COCIN vice president, to a similar attack in Rim village, he said.
Rev Patrick Kim, COCIN pastor in Gwarim, told Morning Star News by phone that the Muslim attackers invaded the villages at about 4pm, killing and destroying until 12:30am.
The church leaders said two worship sanctuaries and residences of two COCIN pastors were among the buildings set ablaze.
They said it was the second such attack in the district in less than a week, as Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed two other Christians in Diyan late last week.” Read more.
Flashback: Muslim Group: ‘Christianity Should Be Destroyed And Wiped From The Face Of The Earth’, It Is ‘Evil’ and ‘Demonic’ – “A Muslim group has released its plan to ‘wipe Christianity from the face of the earth,’ Islamize the West and establish an Islamic system of world government – placing those who resist ‘under a police state.’… ‘Islamic Power has returned upon the face of the earth and the Revived Global Caliphate has set eyes on the West to once and for all rid the world of Christianity and there is nothing you can do about it,’ al-Mohammedi said. He makes his objective clear.” Read more.
Flashback: Sen. Rand Paul Shames Media For Ignoring Islam’s ‘Worldwide War On Christianity’ – “Senator Rand Paul noted in a speech today at the Values Voter Summit that ‘Pew Research did a poll and it indicated that 21% of Egyptians, 15% of Jordanians … 13% of Pakistani Muslims find terrorism acceptable, if not laudable… [I]f you add up the numbers in just three countries it’s over 40 million Muslims [who] sympathize with violence against Christians. This shouldn’t be understated.’ And indeed, if between just 10% and 13% of Muslims all across the Muslim world are devoted enough to their ‘prophet’ and to Islam, that’s about 200 million antichrist soldiers ready to raise the banner of jihad for the cause of ‘Allah’ and his ‘prophet’ against a world of non-Muslims. Where have we heard that number before?” Read more.




See? This is the point that I endlessly try to drill into western christians. The ones who are always saying that they are going to be raptured out of here before the tribulation begins. Can’t they see that the tribulation has already begun for their brothers and sisters around the globe? What will become of the western church when the economy collapses and the Muslims start burning down our churches and killing our families? Do they think that Obama’s DOJ, or even the State, or local police will protect them? It is my personal belief that we are being given a preview of what’s coming to our streets.

Yes, sadly, this darkness is slowly but surely taking over–and not really all that slowly! Our people are being suckered into placating and accomodating what they consider to be “peaceful” muslims–BUT THE MONSTER IS GROWING AND FESTERING EVER SO STEADILY BENEATH THE FALSE VENEER.
Of course, it goes without saying that Obama is a key player in the destruction of the American Way of life as we know it. I’ll give the American Way another ten years at best–but more than likely we have less than five years left.
I believe there’s definitely a tidal wave of persecution and bloodshed coming to America, and I don’t believe that American Christians are going to be exempt from it. In fact, they will be the first ones targeted!!!!! “Oh, it’ll never happen here”–RIGHT! Now where can I find me som-a-them rose colored glasses!
The handwriting is already on the wall–and has been for a long time!

Good Shabbas preach,
Satan knows how to cripple believers. In some ways, and this may sound crazy, but I envy our brothers and sisters who are going through persecution. I think that the presence of GOD is experienced more powerfully among those who are suffering. As for tribulations, for Jesus’ names sake, we are told to, “count it all joy.”
Satan has used a strategy of attacking smaller groups of believers first. And it’s working! The response by the Western Church has been minuscule, and tepid at best. Imagine the joy of meeting and worshiping with one another after hiking 5 miles through enemy territory, not knowing if these will be your last moments on earth. Or having to meet together in under ground house churches, always fearing arrest, or worse. And after arriving, not knowing if this is your last meeting. It makes every spiritual exchange a joyful occasion, and another miracle. Just try to imagine what it is like to attempt to share the gospel under these circumstances. It makes one almost look forward to FEMA camp.
These daily reports of Christian persecutions are the reasons why it is so self serving, and insulting, for believers to say things like, ” Before the Tribulation starts, we’re out of here!” How offensive is that to other persecuted Christians elsewhere around the globe?
Satan has successfully used the pre-trib lie to render, what should be the most powerful Church, the wealthy pampered one, here in the West, almost useless. WHERE ARE THE CHURCH LEADERS? THE SHEPHERDS? Are not our foreign brethren part of the flock? How about Israel, should she be abandoned? Take off your Brooks Brother’s suites and start working! Imagine what could be accomplished if we were to resist Satan, acting as one body drenched in the Spirit!
All you Mega Church Pastors, tell the sheep to act up, and for Zion’s sake, “cry out in the streets, and do not let your voice be silent!”
