Why?

2 10 2014

OffendThere are some things that are beyond contradiction. In these days of spreading terrorism, it is self-evident that no one fears Christians and many fear Muslims. Why? Could it be that the basic philosophies are opposite? The Bible clearly calls the God of Christians and Jews, the “God of Love.” But the Koran nowhere calls their god a god of love. He is a god of war. In fact, the word love only occurs 87 times in the Koran and one-third of the usage is negative, as: “He does not love the infidel.” Yet, Yehovah God loves the whole world.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. … And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:8, 16

Who is a terrorist? Are you frustrated that President Obama refuses to label terrorism? Let me make a simple point. Anyone who intentionally terrorizes others is a terrorist. The administration parses words, demanding an organizational connection to a terror group. That does not work anymore. The “lone wolf terrorist” operates simply by the internet. That does not make his actions any less threatening, especially when yelling “Arabic sayings” as he slays the innocent. Yes, they no longer refer to his cry as the Islamic confession that their god is the greatest, now it is simply “Arabic sayings.” REALLY? GIVE ME A BREAK! Let’s get real people.

We need to wake up, stand up, and speak up; before it is too late.

Pray for truth to triumph!

Proverbs29:9 No Shalom

12 10 2012

If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace. NKJV

If a wise person takes a fool to court, there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction. NLT

If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet. ESV

Si el hombre sabio contendiere con el necio, Que se enoje o que se ría, no tendrá reposo. RVR

When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, the foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. NASB

If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, The fool rages or scoffs, and there is no shalom. HNV

(Each of the above verses quoted from BlueLetterBible.com)

Let us apply these verses to an analysis of our own demeanor when involved in an uncomfortable conversation.

Fort Hood Double Standard

27 03 2012

It has been two and  a half years after the Fort Hood murders of 14 US soldiers and civilians (including a baby in its mother’s womb), and the wounding of 29 in Killeen, Texas. There has been no trial and they are still trying to decide if Major Hasan is sane. Meanwhile, a couple of weeks ago, a US solider snapped in the Afghanistan war zone killing 17 civilians and he is charged with the death penalty. This weekend our government has already paid $50,000.00 for each death which fulfills the requirement of Sharia Law.

What is wrong with this picture? The Muslim psychiatrist in Texas openly called for jihad against America and shouted A–ah Akbar as he systematically shot and killed unarmed people. Meanwhile, Sgt Bales who had a brain injury suffered in earlier combat has been tried, convicted and sentenced by the media in only weeks.

Make no mistake, I am not defending the actions of Sgt. Bales. But where is the justice in comparing the two situations? Isaiah 59 is quite to the point. The whole chapter is good, but here are a few selected quotes.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. (3-4).

Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.Then Yehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; (14-16).

According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; the coastlands He will fully repay. So shall they fear the name of Yehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of Yehovah will lift up a standard against him. “The Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” says Yehovah. (18-20).

Syrian Snipers and Turks in Cairo

13 09 2011

The New Middle East

The winds of radical change are blowing over the cradle of civilization. Almost daily some new event adds to the reshaping of old loyalties. Egypt has fallen from the Western sphere and is quickly descending into ancient barbaric blood lust. Twice in as many weeks, radicals have attacked the Israeli Embassy in Cairo. Today, the Prime Minister of Turkey is in Cairo extending his influence, attempting to re-establish a world-wide Islamic Caliphate. This, only days after announcing that Turkish warships will guard the next Flotilla to Gaza. He is seeking to intimidate Israel and Cyprus who lay claim to massive new natural gas deposits offshore in the Mediterranean.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo on Tuesday that the recognition of a Palestinian state was “not an option but an obligation.”

Meanwhile, also today, Syrian snipers killed five mourners at a funeral near Hama. The five were shot dead by security police snipers from the rooftop of a public school and a municipal water tank in the town of Kfar Nubouzeh, when hundreds of mourners began chanting slogans demanding the downfall of President Bashar Assad. Such is the perverse concept of “security” in the Islamic dictatorship. This utter disregard for the sanctity of life is endemic in Islam. It is a well know boast in Islam that they will defeat Israel (the little satan) and America ( the great satan) because “you love life, the Muslim loves death.”

In 2007, two years before he killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-nine at Fort Hood, Texas, Nidal Malik Hasan prepared a slide show for his fellow Army doctors on the subject of Islam. One of his last points read: “We love death more than you love life!”

There are also plans to attack the Israeli Embassy in Jordan according to Fox News. Many times I have warned that the Psalm 83 War is close. Each new event makes it that much more inevitable. There are even those calling for a million man march in Aman. Ezekiel warned of an “eternal hatred” against Israel. God has declared that it will lead to a bloodbath for Edom (Jordan hanging by a thread). It has begun. It will culminate with a terrible defeat for the nations immediately around, and a great victory for Israel by the hand of Yehovah God.

Your eternal hatred for the people of Israel led you to butcher them when they were helpless, when I had already punished them for all their sins. As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Yehovah, since you show no distaste for blood, I will give you a bloodbath of your own. Your turn has come! Ezekiel 35:5-6 NLT

So what does this mean for us? Should we be fearful? God forbid! It is time for us to snatch people from the burning and bring them to the One Who is Salvation, Yeshua (Jesus means salvation). It is time for us to wake up, stand up and speak up! Our Lord said he would not leave us or forsake us. We may suffer, but He will be with us in the process. Jesus spoke of these things in Luke 21 with the admonition:

But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. Luke 21:28 NASB

Radicalizing or Radicals Rising?

7 03 2011

Radicals Rising Leads to Sunset Over Cairo

A serious media mistake is routinely using the term “radicalizing” to explain jihad. “Radicals rising” is a more accurate term. DEBKAfile’s sources report that large sums of Iranian petrodollars have reached the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and radicalized its message to the Egyptian people. It is true that Iran’s propaganda is a radicalized message, but it finds ready acceptance in young Muslim minds because of generations of indoctrination.
It is beyond the Western mind’s frame of reference to accept that Islamists hold their position logically from the beginning. Since we are the product of a Judeo/Christian heritage, Islamic jihad doesn’t make sense. We are taught to love our enemies, they are taught to kill their enemies (which by the way is defined as all non-Muslims and apostate Muslims). Psalm 83 (below) clearly declares their opposition to the God of Israel.

Entire generations of young Muslims have been taught from pre-school to hate and kill Jews and Christians. That is when they were radicalized, not between weeks four and five of the Egyptian revolution (or fill in any other Muslim revolt). Koranic basic doctrine teaches that chaos and destruction are the means of overthrowing the infidels or as in Egypt’s case, the apostate Westernized Muslim states. The fundamental Islamic prophecy of the last days requires chaos and destruction to usher in the final Caliph and conquest of the whole world.

Therefore, what we have is radicals rising up to fulfill the apocalyptic vision. It is logically within the literal reading of their holy texts. Yet, the media persists in feigning shock when what they insisted was a democracy movement suddenly “became radicalized”. It is the only conclusion that makes sense to the naive Western humanist. Everything the media believes rejects the idea of anyone actually choosing to die for their god. It does not compute, therefore they were “radicalized” somehow. Even the Ft. Hood shooter must have been “radicalized” because he could not possibly believe in such radical jihad all by himself.

The 9-11 suicide jihadists were not mysteriously radicalized while standing in line at the airport. They worked hard and prepared for a long time on an unthinkable plot to hijack airplanes and fly them into skyscrapers. To us it was unthinkable; to them it was brilliant and perfectly logical.

The truth is this. It is not the “bad” Muslims rising up, but faithful literalist Muslims doing what their imams are preaching every Friday at the mosques. Good Muslims are faithful, bad Muslims (from their viewpoint) are Westernized or modernized and are therefore unfaithful and even apostate.

Pray for the Muslim hordes to turn from the god of Islam to find Yehovah, God of Israel and Yeshua haMeshiach (Jesus the Messiah), the Son of God.

Consider the contrast between the nature of Islam and the nature of our Judeo/Christian heritage.

Nature of Islamic Heritage:

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You (Psalm 83:1-5 NKJV).

Nature of Judeo/Christian Heritage:

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever (1 Corinthians 13:3-8 NLT).

The Home Grown Terror Myth

26 01 2011

The MYTH

“Home grown terror”, what an odd politically correct term it is. What they mean to say is that the terror occurred in our homeland. The act may have even been perpetrated by naturalized American citizens but the ideology is definitely not American, nor is it a native born seed. It is an alien species transplanted from an evil hothouse in the Middle East.

The source of this terror blight in the earth is a specific identifiable movement rising out of Islam. The ultimate aim of this movement is the advancement of Islam until it rules the planet with Sharia Law. If you can find a Muslim who is against Sharia, he may be moderate. Every Muslim who embraces Sharia is by Western standards and definitions radical.

To some degree, the media is helping to blur the lines, by calling it home grown. Yet, this is not what our children learn in our schools. It is learned in Trojan horse mosques and the internet. Yes, it is growing in America, but it is not home grown. That is the myth.

The problem is not immigration, but migration. The first is people moving to our shores for the American dream of freedom, free enterprise and liberty. But those who are migrating here insist on keeping their own culture and laws, with the goal of imposing Sharia on the rest of us. Please inform yourself about the reality of Sharia Law. Don’t be deceived. Stay alert and awake. Pay attention before it is too late.  (READ MORE)

The Obama Intifada

1 04 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 7 April 1, 2010

Topic # 1   Making Mountains Out of Molehills

The ridiculous international incident concocted by President Obama over legal building permits in Jerusalem, is well documented. The result is a new Palestinian uprising or intifada that some are calling the Obama Intifada, assigning the blame on him as the instigator.

The descendants of Ishmael currently occupy at least 800 times more land than descendants of Isaac. The 21 states of the Arab League routinely announce plans of building expansion. In Saudi Arabia alone, 555,000 housing units were built over the past several years. Ruth R. Wisse.

All nations ruled by Islam are, by definition, apartheid. All non-Muslims are segregated as second class citizens.  Freedom of religion and speech is outlawed by Sharia law. Israel represents the antithesis of apartheid. James M. Hutchens-both quotes from: The Jerusalem Connection.

Topic #2  $12 Billion to PA—Where Did It Go?

Dr. Ghania Malhis, chair of the Economic Policy Research Institute in Ramallah, addressed the UN’s Seminar on Assistance to the Palestinians last week. She estimated foreign countries had donated a total of $12 billion to the PA since 1995. That figure did not include billions of dollars in aid provided by international aid groups such as UNRWA.  Aid to the PA is increasing steadily.  It received an average of one billion dollars a year between 2001 and 2005, $1.5 billion in 2007, $1.8 billion in 2009, and an estimated $2 billion is anticipated in 2010.  And yet, Malhis said, after such enormous sums, the GDP is 13% lower than it was in 1999, and GDP per capita is down by 30%.  “The Palestinian Authority has failed to address allegations of misuse of funds, power and mismanagement as well as a lack of accountability and transparency,” (INN) The leech has two daughters.  ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. Proverbs 30:15 (JNN News).

They will call Jerusalem The Throne of Yahweh and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of Yahweh” … “Yahweh

Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will pass over it and will rescue it.” … “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. Jeremiah 3:17; Isaiah 31:5; Ps. 137:5-6

Israel Is Real

1 12 2009

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 3 Issue 23  December 1, 2009

Topic # 1   Israel Blesses the Nations

In the volume of my reading about Israel lately, I have noticed two references to a new book by Dan Senor and Saul Singer, Start Up Nation. It details Israel’s amazing technological contribution to the global economy. One such reference was a column by Shmuley Boteach entitled No Holds Barred: Israel’s Time Has Come (JPost.com 10-26-09). Am I the only one tired of hearing only bad news about Jews and Israel? Remember the old joke about the Jew who loves reading anti-Semitic magazines? When asked why, he says, “When I read Jewish newspapers, all I hear is that we’re hated. When I read the anti-Semitic alternatives, they tell me we run the world.”

He goes on to list some of Israel’s positives: Israeli universities ranked in the top 10, a disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes, high percentage of the world’s computer chips made in Israel, and huge business investment in Israel by giants such as Andy Grove, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Finally, more Israeli companies are on the NASDAQ than  from all of Europe, China, India, Korea, and Japan combined.

Link to CBN News video story on new book: Start Up Nation here.

Topic #2  The Hanukkah Menorah

Many Christians are unaware that there is a special Menorah for Hanukkah. The regular Menorah has seven candles speaking of the seven-fold spirit of God in Isaiah 11. But there are nine candles on the Chanakiah. It depicts the miraculous eight days of oil for the Menorah during the time of the Maccabees. Why are there nine candles? The ninth is the Servant candle. It is an amazing picture of Messiah Jesus, who came as a servant and is the Light of the world. Jesus went up to Jerusalem for all the feasts of Yahweh every year, even Hanukkah: It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah. John 10:22 NLTYahweh will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And Yahweh will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. Deuteronomy 28:12-13

Visualize Sharia Law?

23 11 2009

I have an idea for a new bumper sticker: Visualize Sharia Law. The thought comes from a bumper sticker from the eighties: Visualize World Peace. Picture what it would be like to live under Sharia Law. Islam divides the world into only two groups, the House of Peace (Islam) and the House of War (infidels). In other words, they are at war with the rest of us until we submit. Islam is committed to total world conquest. The word Islam literally translates as submission. This does not sound bad to Western thought because we have been birthed out of a Judeo-Christian heritage, which teaches submission differently. Islam’s submission is imposed by Sharia law, while our kind of submission is voluntary. Their submission is actually domination. One example is the idea of offense. Jews and Christians are offended all the time. We are taught to respond with forgiveness. Islamists demand laws be passed to criminalize offense to Muslims. It is a contrived offense as a means to an end. Sharia is imposed inch by inch and yard by yard on naïve slumbering Westerners till it is too late.

Backward Trials

18 11 2009

Les Lawrence – Voice of Christian Zionists

WATCH AND PRAY!

Why has the media missed the trial contradictions? The Fort Hood trial involves a Muslim American terrorist in a military tribunal. The New York trial involves a foreign terrorist, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others, given a civilian trial. What is wrong with this picture? The citizen gets the tribunal with less rights than civilian trials, and the non-citizens arrested on foreign soil get all the rights of American citizens. The effect of this inversion of rights, benefits Islam in both cases. Much of the Fort Hood case will be private, thus not exposing the Islamist ideology of Hassan. The New York situation, on the other hand, will be a media circus for years. The danger is that it will be a bully pulpit for the most radical Muslim propaganda, and worse, an exceptional opportunity to recruit home grown terrorists. Furthermore, it will be a political punching bag of the Bush administration and the CIA. Just as President Obama’s unprecedented bows to the Saudi King and the Japanese Emperor, the United States is bowing to Islam via these trials.

Suicide Worship

15 11 2009

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 3 Issue 22  November 15, 2009

Topic # 1   Home Grown Terror or Hell Grown Terror?

Contrary to the media norm, “Allah Akbar”, does NOT mean: God is great. Allah is not a generic term, it a name, the personal name of the god of Islam. Also, the second word doesn’t mean great, but greater. Therefore, a homicide bomber shouting “Allah is the greatest!” not only makes a political statement, he swears complete allegiance to his god as a perverse act of worship. He sincerely believes his god is the greatest of all.

A Christian or Jewish Zionist has a similar bias. He worships Yahweh, the God of the Bible, with as much passion as the most rabid Islamic extremist. The difference is that we are not rewarded by our God for murdering innocent people. We are instructed to love our enemies. My heart goes out to all the Muslims who reject the radicals. However, the truth is quite plain. It does not matter how many moderates there are, if the crazies run the asylum. How many Nazi’s did it take when the majority God-fearing German people did not stop them?

The war with Islamic terrorism is for world domination. It is not an election. The majority opinion is irrelevant. We must stand up, speak out and sound the alarm! There is less time left than you think.

Topic #2  The Duty of Opposing     by A.W. Tozer

In spite of a Christian’s sincere longing for peace, however, there will be times when he dare not allow himself to enjoy it. There are times when it is a sin to be at peace. There are circumstances when there is nothing to do but to stand up an vigorously oppose. To wink at iniquity for the sake of peace is not a proof of superior spirituality; it is rather a sign of a reprehensible timidity, which dare not oppose sin for fear of the consequences.

Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has happened at last–the salvation and power and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the Accuser has been thrown down to earth–the one who accused our brothers and before our God day and night. And  they have defeated him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of their testimony. And they were not afraid to die. Revelation 12:10-11 NLT

Fort Hood Motive Is Simple

15 11 2009

The reason for the confusion surrounding the linking of Islamic extremism to the Fort Hood atrocity, is so simple, it is just too easy for most experts to accept. He was a terrorist, because scores of people were terrified. He was an Islamic terrorist because of his own self proclaimed religious ideology. The hidden truth is in the phrase he shouted as he coldly and methodically ended the lives of 14 people including a baby in the womb; and altered the lives of hundreds more who were either injured or family of the victims.

First, let’s agree it was a suicide attack. There could have been no hope for escaping alive. It is what has come to be known as “suicide by police”. But this was no ordinary criminal; this was a classic Islamic homicide attacker. All you need to know is that he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” according to multiple eye witnesses at the scene.

Why is this simple phrase so misunderstood? Virtually all sources repeating this phrase insist on miss-translation. The government, the media, even the military make the simple, yet monumental mistake. It matters little whether it is intentional deception, political correctness, or ignorance. The public is left in impotent confusion.

Contrary to the media norm, “Allahu Akbar”, does NOT mean: God is great. Allah is not a generic term, it a name, the personal name of the god of Islam. Also, the second word doesn’t mean great, but greater. Therefore, a homicide bomber shouting “Allah is the greatest!” not only makes a political statement, he swears complete allegiance to his god as a perverse act of worship. He sincerely believes his god is the greatest of all.

A Christian or Jewish Zionist has a similar bias. He worships the God of the Bible with as much passion as the most rabid Islamic extremist.

However, the truth is quite plain. It does not matter how many moderates there are, if the crazies run the asylum. How many Nazi’s did it take when the majority God-fearing German people did not stop them?
