Ancient End-Times Bible Prophecy Rapidly Unfolding

01/27/2015 3 comments

With events of Biblical significance unfolding before our very eyes, one must wonder why the Western Church by and large continues to remain conspicuously silent. I can think of a few reasons why. It’s convenient to ignore an inconvenient topic. It makes many comfortable Christians uncomfortable. And if the state of the world in which we now live were viewed through the lens of Bible prophecy it could cause some to begin questioning a few of the popular doctrines currently being taught today by many churches, doctrines which remain — for many Christians in the West — unquestionable

Matthew 24:29-31, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days … they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect …”

Colossians 3:12-13, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another …”

Acts 14:22b, “… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”

Charisma News – “As world events unfold, CBN Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell’s book, Destination Jerusalem, aims to put today’s events in perspective.

Mitchell chronicles firsthand the meteoric rise of the Islamic State (ISIS), the growing persecution of Christians, the minimal response by the West and much of the Church, as well as the part Jerusalem plays in the scenario.

As prophecy unfolds before our eyes, Dateline Jerusalem points to how Christians can prepare for the days ahead.

ISIS: Western Muslims Who Do Not Kill Christians Are Our Enemies, Warns West “You Have Seen Nothing Yet”

The Sword of Jihad. Whether it’s in the 7th century or the 21st, where would Islam be without it? …

Revelation 6:4, “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [χλωρός – “green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [θηρίον – “savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

Mail Online – “The Islamic State jihadist group Monday urged Muslims to carry out new attacks after the targeting of France’s Charlie Hebdo magazine, in a recording by its spokesman posted online.

Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, referring to attacks in France, Australia, Canada and Belgium, urged ‘Muslims in Europe and the infidel West to attack the Crusaders where they are.’

‘We promise that in the Christian bastions they will continue to live in a state of alert, of terror, of fear and insecurity… You have seen nothing yet,’ the recording said.

He added that the group would consider as ‘enemies’ those Muslims who were able to carry out such attacks but failed to do so.

The threat is just the latest instance in which the jihadist group has urged Muslims to carry out attacks in the West.

It comes after 17 people were killed in deadly assaults on January 7-9 in Paris against Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket.

Of the three attackers, only one appeared to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, but the group endorsed the killings in the message.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “Behold the Sword of Islam: Jihad. Islamic jihad has been the greatest mass murdering force in the history of humanity. As long as Islam has existed, it has never known peace… ‘Jihad destroyed a Christian Middle East and a Christian North Africa. Soon it was the fate of the Persian Zoroastrian and the Hindu to be the victims of jihad. The history of political Islam is the destruction of Christianity in the Middle East, Egypt, Turkey and North Africa. Half of Christianity was lost. Before Islam, North Africa was the southern part of Europe (part of the Roman Empire). Around 60 million Christians were slaughtered during the jihadic conquest… The Jews became permanent dhimmis throughout Islam. In Africa over 120 million Christians and animists have died over the last 1400 years of jihad. Approximately 270 million nonbelievers died over the last 1400 years for the glory of political Islam. These are the Tears of Jihad which are not taught in any school.’ And the persecution of Jews and Christians, and the atmosphere of Islamic wars upon the earth, continues to this very day. Even now, Islamists boldly declare that if non-Muslims do not accept Islam ‘they will never know peace.’” Read more.

Pakistan: Hundreds Of Muslims With Hurt Feelings Attack Christian School, Demand Its Closure

They didn’t protest the French Embassy in Islamabad. They didn’t boycott French fries at the neighborhood bazaar. No, they sought out to attack a school full of Christians. Of course, the local police said that the attack against Christians wasn’t “an anti-Christian attack.” In Islam’s upside-down world where Islamic terror has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, attacks against Christians have absolutely nothing to do with anti-Christian attacks …

Qur’an Sura 9:29, “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of [Islam], even if they are of the People of the Book [Christians] …”

DAWN – “Hundreds of students protesting against a French magazine for publishing blasphemous cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stormed a Christian boys’ school demanding its closure, officials and police said Tuesday.

Four students were slightly hurt in the incident in the town of Bannu on Monday, which happened as students from local colleges and schools demonstrated against the cartoons printed in French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

He said the students who wanted the school to be shut damaged the property and smashed windows.” Read more.

Latest ISIS Beheading Video Warns Obama: “We Will Cut Off Your Head In The White House”

It matters not if Obama believes that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. As an enemy, Islam demands that Obama be beheaded. And for some inexplicable reason, the terrorists-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-Islam are more than willing to oblige …

Qur’an Sura 4:94-95, “O ye who believe! When ye go abroad [in battle] in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully … For Allah is well aware of all that ye do … Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home).”

Qur’an Sura 47:4a, “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers [non-Muslims] in battle, smite at their necks …”

Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

Qur’an 8:12, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

FOX News – “A new, grisly beheading video from ISIS includes a direct threat against President Obama and is one of at least three new warnings from the terror organization, including pledges to kill Jordanian and Japanese hostages if a hostage held by Jordan is not freed.

In a new online video discovered by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on Tuesday, three Islamic State fighters stand behind a kneeling Kurdish fighter as one of the extremists launches into a diatribe against the U.S. and other Western nations.

‘Know, oh Obama, that will reach America,’ says one of the fighters, clad in black and wearing a balaclava, in a translation from Arabic provided by MEMRI. ‘Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House, and transform America into a Muslim Province.’

The extremist also issued warnings to European nations.

‘And this is my message to France and to its sister, Belgium,’ he said. ‘We advise you that we will come to you with car bombs and explosive charges, and will cut off your heads.’

The video fades to black as one Islamic State fighter brings a knife up to the unidentified Kurdish fighter’s throat.

In a separate online message, Islamic State warned Tuesday that a …” Read more.

Flashback: Islamic Scholar: Barack Obama Is Dead Wrong About Islamic State, ‘They Are True Muslims’ – “President Obama’s notion that the Islamic State is ‘not Islamic’ and that ‘no religion condones killing’ doesn’t square with the army of Muslims that the terror group is attracting… Clearly, something else is motivating all these Muslims, yet Obama insists it’s not their faith. ‘He is wrong,’ said Islamic scholar Dr. Muhammad Zareef. ‘They are true Muslims fighting in the cause of Allah,’ he added in an interview. ‘The Quran makes it very clear that a good and faithful Muslim has every reason to kill non-Muslims. ISIS and other groups like them take these verses into their hearts.’” Read more.
