Elisha Vision – Commentary

It’s all in the meaning of words. One of the most deceptive aspects of Islam is assigning a different definition to a common English expression. The most common example is the difference between their definition of “innocent victims”, and the more obvious Western meaning. We view any child as an innocent victim of terrorist violence. However, the Islamists consider all infidel children as future enemy warriors and therefore not innocent. They are fair game. Only children of fellow jihadists could be considered innocent. How perverse is that?

Yesterday, I read a great quote from a blog by John Guandolo, a counterterrorism expert and a former FBI agent. He made the same point about “human rights”.

It should be noted, the OIC is made up of all 57 Islamic States across the globe (they include Palestine as one of the member states).  In 1993, the OIC formally served the “Cairo Declaration” to the United Nations, which states that the entire Muslim world officially speaking under the banner of the OIC defines “Human Rights” as the imposition of Shari’ah (Islamic Law).  Their 10-year plan seeks to spread “Human Rights” to the entire globe.

Most folks overlook this obvious conflict of definitions. We think of human rights as a generic term beyond misunderstanding. Yet our very gullibility and naiveté traps us. We live according to the Biblical imperative of our Judeo/Christian heritage, which teaches us that “Love believes all things.”

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

How does that match up with the record of Islam? So, are we really trapped by love believing all? Not at all. The Biblical admonition to believe, speaks to our default character as believers. However, there is a balancing instruction that carries a strong warning.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3

Well, you may ask if I am accusing Islam of an Anti-Christ spirit? Yes. Yes, I am.

My latest book, Simple Islam, explains in more detail exactly why that is an accurate charge. Here is an excerpt from the back cover. (My shipment arrived today and is available to order.)

“Contrary to majority opinion, we do not all worship the same God. Christians and Jews worship Yehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Clearly identified as a Father in the Bible, He also has a Son.

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know? Proverbs 30:4

Islam, by contrast, adamantly denies their god is a father or has a son. The Jesus of the Quran is not the Son of God, and did not die. The aim of Simple Islam is to clear the chatter that confuses the issue. As long as the public (and the last two Presidents) insist that we all worship the same God, they will never learn the truth.

A few simple contrasts and the 20/20 hindsight of history will answer your most important questions about Islam. In addition, you will be equipped to share the true Jesus with Muslims everywhere. Although Islam is a pagan religion, Yehovah God loves Muslims; and Jesus died to bring them into His Kingdom. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD…!”

Add this Scripture to the quote from my book.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23

Simple Islam is about the irreconcilable differences between the Bible and Islam.

The headline in Israel Today.com says: Reports: Syria ordered to attack Israel if Assad falls.

Embattled Syrian dictator Bashar Assad has ordered his military chiefs to launch ballistic missiles at Israel if he is killed by rebel forces, according to sources in Damascus cited by Israeli media this week.

The online newspaper Inyan Merkazi reported that Assad met with his top generals recently to express concerns that he could be taken out by advanced American missiles recently provided to rebel forces, or by a violent mob similar to the one that violently murdered former Libyan dictator Muamar Gaddafi.

For several months the UN count of Syrians killed was stuck at 40,000. But then suddenly the updated numbers released January 2, set the number at 60,000 dead. Beyond that, the estimates on the ground are even higher, surpassing 70,000. CNN quoted the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay: The 60,000, she said, “is likely to be an underestimate of the actual number of deaths.” Citing the discovery of mass graves in newly liberated government bases, Alhamadee, the activist, said: “The number I think is far greater than this, and lots of people are missing.”

To put it in perspective: 60,000 people is roughly the population of Terre Haute, Indiana; or Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s how many people would fit in Dodger Stadium, and it’s more than the 50,000-plus U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam. CNN

I wrote about it at the beginning of the Syrian civil war in April, 2011: Damascus Destroyed – This may be the most important news story of the month. While most eyes are on Libya, the growing crisis in Syria has more direct significance to prophecy. We have seen the Psalm 83 prophecy building for several years now. It makes sense that the Isaiah 17 prophecy would be part of that war.

The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap”. Isaiah 17:1.

Be assured that if Assad does target Israel, Yehovah, God of Israel will have something to say about that.

“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: ​In those days and at that time ​​I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; ​​He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. ​​In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. ​​And this is the name by which she will be called: YEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah 33:14:16

(As is my custom, I have taken the liberty to change the word “LORD” to Yehovah. Every single time you see LORD or GOD in all capital letters in the Old Testament, the actual Hebrew word is Yehovah. This name occurs 6,828 times in the Hebrew text, yet remains untranslated in most Bibles. His name, obscured for 2,500 years, is now being revealed. It is TIME to restore the name of Yehovah!)
