MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Because the Qur’an has spoken …

Qur’an Sura 4:171, “O People of the Book [Christians], exceed not the limits in your religion or speak anything about Allah, but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only a messenger of Allah … Far be it from His glory to have a son …”

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

By Tom Parfitt, Daily Express – “The Assyrian community in Gothenburg, Sweden are being tormented by the threats and police have now launched a probe.

Markus Samuelsson was shocked after radicals covered his restaurant in the city with graffiti this week.

They daubed the terror group’s logo alongside the disturbing phrases ‘convert and die’ and ‘the caliphate is here’ over the walls on Tuesday.

The Arabic letter for ‘N’ – which has been used to identify Christians and drive them out of their homes by ISIS fighters – was also painted on the restaurant.

Samuelsson, one of the city’s 3,000 Assyrian Christians, said: ‘I felt a sudden chill down my spine. It’s terribly painful, we feel threatened.’

Gothenburg – in the south-west of the country – is thought to be a hotbed for jihadist recruiting, according to Breitbart London.

At least 150 people are thought to have left the city, dubbed the ‘Swedish centre for jihadists’, to join ISIS.

And when Swedes return to their homeland after fighting in Syria and Iraq, they are reportedly ‘coddled with therapy’ and ‘fast-tracked to jobs ahead of native Swedes’.” Read more.

Recommended: The Mark of the Beast – What Your Church May Not Be Telling You – “… the ‘number’ (arithmos) of the beast does not necessitate the use of mathematics or gammatria to ‘reckon’ (understand) what it is… The word ‘arithmos’ is used a total of 18 times in the NT, and aside from Rev 5:11 when John refers to the number of living beings he witnesses around the throne of God, every other time ‘arithmos’ is used it is always referring to a group of people. This is significant because it therefore means that the Greek text is better understood as ‘the multitude of the beast: for it is the multitude of a man.’ But what multitude of people would that be and what man are they all following? There is nothing in the text telling us that the man referred to here must be someone alive at that specific time or an end-of-days Antichrist. So what and who is John the Revelator referring to? Significantly, as noted above, ‘chi-xi-stigma’ (often translated as ‘666’) closely resembles the Arabic Bismallah, which translates to ‘In The Name Of Allah’. In order to convert to ‘Allah’s’ religion, however, one must recite the Islamic statement of faith, called the Shahada, by declaring that ‘There is no god but Allah, and MOHAMMED is his messenger.’ Without Christ, there can be no Christianity. Likewise, without Mohammed, there can be no Islam. Think about it.” Read more.

Qur’an Sura 33:50, “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee … those [women] whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war…”

Hadith, Bukhari 2:24, “Allah’s Apostle said: ‘I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle …”

Every once in a while, even a spiritual leader within the Religion of Lies somehow manages to utter a few words of truth, albeit very inconvenient and difficult ones for non-Muslims in the West to digest. Since we’re suddenly all about being open and truthful, here are a few candid words I’ll repeat again for the Islamic world to chew on for their next Iftar dinner: Even if you were to succeeded in destroying every last church of brick and stone built upon the face of the earth, you will never succeed in destroying the Church that is built upon the Rock …

Matthew 16:18, “… I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

2 Samuel 22:47, “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.”

Proverbs 10:30, “The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not inhabit the earth.”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag – “During a recent televised interview with Grand Ayatollah Ahmad al-Baghdadi, the leading Shia cleric of Iraq made clear why Islam and the rest of the world can never peacefully coexist.

First he spent some time discussing ‘defensive jihad,’ saying that all capable Muslims are obligated to fight for the ‘liberation’ of ‘occupied’ territory, for instance, Israel (see here for a list of European countries also deemed ‘occupied’ in the eyes of Islam).

He then explained ‘offensive jihad,’ Islam’s primary bloodline, which forged what we now call the ‘Muslim world’ over the centuries.

According to the ayatollah, when they can — when circumstance permits it, when they are strong enough — Muslims are obligated to go on the offensive and conquer non-Muslims (a fact to be kept in mind as millions of Muslim ‘refugees’ flood the West).

The Muslim cleric repeatedly yelled at the secularized host who kept interrupting him and protesting that Islam cannot teach such intolerance.  At one point, he burst out: ‘I am the scholar of Islam [al-faqih].  You are just a journalist.  Listen to me!’

Expounded Al-Baghdadi:

If they are people of the book [Jews and Christians] we demand of them the jizya — and if they refuse, then we fight them.  That is if he is Christian. He has three choices: either convert to Islam, or, if he refuses and wishes to remain Christian, then pay the jizya [and live according to dhimmi rules].

But if they still refuse — then we fight them, and we abduct their women, and destroy their churches—this is Islam!… Come on, learn what Islam is, are you even a Muslim?!

As for the polytheists [Hindus, Buddhists, etc.] we allow them to choose between Islam and war!  This is not the opinion of Ahmad al-Husseini al-Baghdadi, but the opinion of all five schools of jurisprudence [four Sunni and one Shia].

Towards the end of the interview, because the clean-shaven, suit-and-tie-wearing host kept protesting that this cannot be Islam, the ayatollah burst out, pointing at him with contempt and saying, ‘Who are you? You’re going to tell me what to believe?  This is the word of Allah!’

Indeed.  Not only is it the word of Islam’s deity, but it is the fundamental, insurmountable obstacle for peace between Muslims and non-Muslims. Al-Baghdadi — and the countless other Muslim clerics, Sunni and Shia, that hold these views — are not ‘radicals.’  For offensive jihad is no less codified than, say, Islam’s Five Pillar …” Read more.

Flashback: Grand Mufti Of Saudi Arabia Calls For ‘Destruction Of All Churches In Region’ – “… Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is ‘necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.’ The Grand Mufti made his assertion in response to a question posed by a delegation from Kuwait, regarding the position of a Kuwaiti parliament member who recently called for the ‘removal’ of churches … the Grand Mufti ‘stressed that Kuwait was a part of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches in it.’ As with many grand muftis before him, the Sheikh based his proclamation on the famous tradition, or hadith, wherein the prophet of Islam declared on his deathbed that ‘There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula,’ which has always been interpreted to mean that only Islam can be practiced in the region.” Read more.

As the article below rightly explains, a Christian genocide is “unfolding across the world” and “time is running short” for the West to do something concrete about it. But time isn’t simply running short for the West in the face of an Allah-sanctioned genocide of Christians at the hands of the Islamic world. It’s also running short for the Islamic world itself to repent …

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

Matthew 24:22, 29-31, “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened… Immediately after the tribulation of those days … He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect …”

Revelation 6:15-17, “And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’”

By Johnnie Moore, FOX News – “A few days ago ISIS executed three Assyrian Christians, and I bet you haven’t heard a thing about it.

This is because the world is becoming increasingly numb to a drastic escalation in the persecution of Christians – and other religious minorities — all over North Africa and the Middle East.

Christian pastors are unjustly imprisoned in the Sudan and in Iran, Christian converts have been executed by Islamic extremists in more than a dozen countries, hundreds of churches and Christian homes have been burned across Africa and in the United States college students in Oregon were allegedly targeted for their profession of faith in Jesus Christ by Christopher Harper-Mercer.

In the recently released ISIS execution video, the three Assyrians are predictably crouched in orange jumpsuits as they are forced to state their name and their Christian faith before they are shot in the back of the head.

Before their execution they were literally forced to say ‘I am a Christian.’

They were killed for their faith, yet there remains a prevailing sense of denial in Washington that Christians are particularly threatened. In fact, there has been dismal – if not, zero — attempts by the United States government to provide special treatment to Syrian and Iraqi Christians who are endangered by the threat of total extinction.

As opposed to joining with the voices of international leaders – like Pope Francis — in calling this a Christian ‘genocide,’ our president has again and again avoided even referencing the particular threat being endured by these ancient Christian communities, if not denying it.” Read more.

Flashback: ‘Terrifying’: 150 Million Christians Suffering At Hands Of Muslims Have Reached ‘Biblical Proportions’ – “‘The number of persecuted Christians in the world is 150 million.’ There are many other figures, terrifying and dramatic, in the pages of the ‘Blackbook of the plight of Christians in the world’, a unique initiative of French scholars and coordinated by journalist Samuel Lieven. Snapshots of a global and amorphous war. In particular, there is a disconcerting statistic: ’80 percent of the acts of religious persecution in the world are directed against Christians.’ How many victims? The Center for the Study of Global Christianity brings the average of one hundred thousand Christians killed each year for their faith throughout the last decade. An average of five Christians every minute.” Read more.

Flashback: The Middle East Is Experiencing ‘A Christian Version Of The Holocaust And Nothing Less’ – “International media remain apathetic to Christian persecution in the Middle East. Speaking on ‘Breitbart News Saturday’ Dr. Sebastian Gorka addressed the subject after being asked by the host, Alex Marlow, why the press is not interested in the story. Before Gorka gave his answer he called the situation ‘a Christian version of the Holocaust and nothing less.’ Gorka then went on to say that the West has done much to stand up for Muslims in the past two decades. ‘Whether it was to save the Muslims in Bosnia or the Albanians, Kosovars, and Muslims in Serbia, it is now time for a humanitarian operation to save the remaining Christians in Iraq,’ he said.” Read more.

“The martyrs were faithful to the very end; right before one woman was beheaded by the terror group, she appeared to be smiling slightly as she said, ‘Jesus!'” The Beast is killing Christians for Allah’s glory, yet through it all it is Christ who is being glorified …

Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

Revelation 20:4, “… And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

By Leah Marieann Klett, The Gospel Herald – “Twelve Christians have been brutally executed by the Islamic State, including the 12-year-old son of a Syrian ministry team leader who had planted nine churches, because they refused to renounce the name of Jesus Christ and embrace Islam. The martyrs were faithful to the very end; right before one woman was beheaded by the terror group, she appeared to be smiling slightly as she said, ‘Jesus!’

According to Christian Aid Mission, a humanitarian group which assists indigenous Christian workers in their native countries, the horrific murders took place on August 28 in an unnamed village outside Aleppo, Syria.

‘In front of the team leader and relatives in the crowd, the Islamic extremists cut off the fingertips of the boy and severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam,’ Christian Aid revealed, according to a report from Morning Star News. ‘When the team leader refused, relatives said, the ISIS militants also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion.’

They were killed for refusing to return to Islam after embracing Christianity, as were the other eight aid workers, including two women, according to Christian Aid. The eight were taken to a separate site in the village and asked if they would return to Islam. However, after they refused to renounce Christ, the women, ages 29 and 33, were raped before the crowd summoned to watch, and then all eight were beheaded.

They prayed as they knelt before the Islamic State militants, according to the ministry leader Christian Aid assists, who spoke with relatives and villagers while visiting the site. ‘Villagers said some were praying in the name of Jesus, others said some were praying the Lord’s Prayer, and others said some of them lifted their heads to commend their spirits to Jesus,’ the ministry director told Christian Aid. ‘One of the women looked up and seemed to be almost smiling as she said, ‘Jesus!”

In a manner reflective of Christ’s crucifixion, the bodies of those killed were then hung on crosses for display.” Read more.

How Revelation’s Predictive Biblical Prophecy Foresaw Islamic Teachings – “According to the Qur’an in suras 3:31, 4:80 and 48:10, to follow the ‘prophet’ Mohammed is to follow and worship Allah. As the most sacred of men in Islam and an ‘excellent example’ for Muslims to follow, Mohammed remains the personification of Jihad as an act of worship … Today we can read Islamist material online and in print from organizations like Al-Qaeda and ISIS praising terrorism and urging more attacks against those who do not worship Allah. We see Al-Shabaab terrorists attacking and killing people for not professing allegiance to Allah. The Islamic State continues capturing and forcing sex slaves to convert to Islam and worship Allah while offering others the chance to convert to Islam and worship Allah before killing them. As one ISIS recruiter explains, ‘It is every Muslim’s duty to fight those of a different belief until only Allah is worshiped around the world.'” Read more.
