MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Islam’s reign of terror will continue, but it will not continue forever. As dark as these clouds may become for the Church all across Africa and beyond today, there is Hope for tomorrow. Our faith rests upon a God who is mighty to save, upon a Creator who has already made known the end from the beginning. And one thing He has made known to us is this: Even if these jihadists were to succeed in destroying every last church of brick and stone built upon the face of the earth, they will never succeed in destroying the Church that is built upon the Rock …

Daniel 7:21-22, “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

2 Thessalonians 2:8, “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.”

Daniel 7:27, “Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’”

Romans 8:35-37, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, ‘For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Nigeria: Over 100 Christians Killed, 120 Abducted By Jihadists – “The report that Intersociety Founder and Leader, Emeka Umeagbalasi, shared with ACI Africa on Sunday, October 26 raises an alarm about ‘continuation, intensification, unchecked, untamed, widespread, coordinated and systematic attacks by Islamic Jihadists and their enablers, aiders and abettors against defenseless Christians in Nigeria.’ Of the 120 Christians abducted, at least 12 ‘are likely not coming back alive from the hands of their jihadist captors’ … Researchers at Intersociety base their assumption that a percentage of those abducted may never come back alive on an existing trend by the jihadists to kill their captives. ‘A clear case in point is the over 1,000 abducted Christian hostages held inside Rijana Forest camps in Kaduna State, out of which estimated 120 or more than 10 percent are likely to have been killed in captivity,’ the researchers say.” Read more.

Witnesses say that several Christians have been killed because of their faith and that homes and churches were attacked in recent weeks. According to clergy and community representatives, no official investigation or government statement has yet been released… the deaths are rarely covered by national media and that local authorities have provided no information to the public.

Religious leaders describe a pattern in which incidents are quietly dismissed or downplayed… Faith leaders from several denominations have now called for a joint delegation to visit the affected areas and verify the extent of the killings.” Read more.

Niger: US Missionary Abducted By Suspected Jihadists, ‘Pray For His Protection’ – “An American missionary who was abducted in the West African nation of Niger by suspected jihadists is still missing.

Sudan: More Than 2,000 Executed After 48 Hours Of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Against Non-Arabs – “The western Sudanese city fell to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after more than 18 months of brutal siege warfare, giving the group control over every state capital in the vast Darfur region. Allies of the army, the Joint Forces, said on Tuesday that the RSF ‘committed heinous crimes against innocent civilians in El-Fasher, where more than 2,000 unarmed citizens were executed and killed on October 26 and 27, most of them women, children and the elderly’. Local groups and international NGOs had warned that El-Fasher’s fall could trigger mass atrocities … the city ‘appears to be in a systematic and intentional process of ethnic cleansing of Fur, Zaghawa, and Berti indigenous non-Arab communities through forced displacement and summary execution’. This included what appeared to be ‘door-to-door clearance operations’ in the city…  the actions of the RSF ‘may be consistent with war crimes and crimes against humanity and may rise to the level of genocide’…” Read more.
