Islam's war against civilization and humanity follow-up...

Here is why our current anti-terrorist strategy needs to be re-thought.



Whole Islamist societies are raising entire generations to become "martyrs for Islam."







Imagine, being born for the sole purpose to become a bomb-carrier for a "religion of peace." The evil of it is unimaginable!

Islam's war with civilization and humanity...

It began many centuries ago, but perhaps after decades of Western/Christian civilization's retreat and surrender to Islam's fascist savagry and terror, the people of Europe may have grown a spine. It began with the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten's publishing of a dozen tame cartoons featuring the "prophet" Muhammed, and Islam's irrational, barbaric response to them. Since, publications from other European countries have shown solidarity with the Danes, in spite of the violence and threats of murder and mayhem in response to these silly doodles.

For too long, we have been force-fed the notion that Islam is "a religion of peace;" however, we are finally seeing the true face of this bloody,
intolerant religion.

Frankly speaking, it couldn't come at a better time, because there has been far too much discourse in America about what it is that we are fighting for, and who the enemy is. Really, the enemy is Satan and his principalties and rulers in the dark realms, but they are the ones who drive the hate and irrational behavior of this mindless hoard.

I believe that the folks who stratagize about fighting terror need to re-think how they're doing it, because we are not dealing with sane, rational human beings here. We are dealing with a mob-mentality, that will take to the streets at the drop of a hat over ANYTHING that their dictatorial imams tells them is a Western "offense" to Islam.


And, let's not be deceived over what the historical pursuit of Islam has always been, and that is domination over the entire world. Mystery Babylon will become drunk with the blood of the Saints (Revelation 17:5-6), but she will never prevail.

In the meantime, I celebrate the courage of those who have been willing to stand up to the shrill rantings and threats of the Islamofascists, and have printed these cartoons. I had come to doubt its existence, but there is yet a flickering of freedom still alight in the world.

Being 'Eternally Secure'

I believe that part of the heresy that will be a downfall to many Christians in the impending end times is the fallacy of "eternal security," which states that "once saved-always saved." It is the notion that once we accept Christ as our Savior from our sins, that regardless of what we do from then on is not relevant in regard to our ultimate salvation. We are as sure for heaven as if we were there already.

There are many arguments that are used to prove this point, but are usually backed with scripture taken out of context, such as:

John 10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

However, the preceding verse clearly states:

John 10:27: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me

Here we are shown that being one of Christ’s sheep contains a requirement of being a follower. James 4:8 says "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." Notice where it says for us to draw ourselves near to God, and God will then draw Himself near to us. Also, would not the opposite, then, be true? Should we forget about God, His will for us, and live our lives the way we feel is right, is He going to abide with us? If we live like the world, is God going to be close to us?

There is a condition here. Throughout the scriptures we are called to be active in our faith, and to be mindful of who we are in Christ. We are to "put off" our sinful, old nature, and to "put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:24) Being a believer means being near to God. It means to trust in Him, and having the fruit of the Spirit, which "is in all goodness and righteousness and truth" (Ephesians 5:9)

On the other hand, there are scripture which says clearly the opposite of what the "once saved-always saved" crowd say. Again, in Ephesians chapter 5, Paul tells believers:

1: Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2: And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
3: But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5: For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

The apostle Paul is telling Christians that being a follower of God means that we are NOT going to be an adulterer, a whoremonger, a fornicator, a filthy-talker, and someone who is coveting. It also says that those Christians who do these things are idolaters, and will have NO inheritance in "the kingdom of Christ and of God." It couldn’t be more clear what is being said here.

Christ also emphasizes the need for believers to "endure:"

Matthew 10:22: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 24:13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mark 13:13: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved

The time will come very soon when it will be required of us to "endure" for our faith; however, what will happen to those who do not? James 4:7 says: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." But, if we are not submitting ourselves to God, and not resisting the devil, then we obviously are NOT enduring and finding victory over the devil.

And, what is the statement that follows where it calls for us to "endure?" In every case, Christ tells us that we who endure the trials and tests in our lives, we "shall be saved." What does that mean? For one thing, you have to conclude that the opposite is also true, in that those who do not endure to the end will NOT be saved. It couldn’t be more clear what the meaning is.

With the coming tribulation, there will be many Christians who will fall into deception. Already, an enormous number of believers in America have fallen for the idea that they will avoid tribulation entirely. When you couple this "pre-tribulation" fallacy with a similarly heretical notion of "eternal security," they create an enormous stumbling-block for believers. On one hand, many Christians who trusted God to save them from tribulation will be disenchanted and discouraged because of the perception of God’s "failure," and on the other, they’ll have assurance that it won’t matter what they do in order to avoid persecution, because their salvation is assured.

Christ calls us to follow Him and to endure until the end. Only then are we secure in our salvation. If God is secure with us, we are secure with Him. Do not be deceived by the false prophets and false christs of our time.

Is America Mentioned in Scripture?, Part 2

As I last mentioned, Daniel chapter 7 gives clear evidence that America has its place in scripture and in the end-times. Other evidence of an "eagle" in scripture are in John's visionary account in Revelation. The first is Revelation 8:13, IGENT:

13 And I saw, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven saying with a great voice, woe, woe, woe to the ones dwelling on the earth from the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels being about to trumpet.

Charles Miller gives a very thorough account regarding this scripture, as to its inference of America's mission and valued existence, and it can be viewed here. Essentially, the interpretation of his scripture is that America will, with its communications capabilities, spead the word to the world as to the fulfillment of scripture as the end-times are occurring.

The other scripture is Revelation 12:14, KJV:

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

The woman referred to here is Israel, and "she" is fleeing from "the great dragon" (Rev. 12:9), which in one context is Satan, but in another is that China will attack and overrun the nation of Israel, and the "two wings of a great eagle" that are given will deliver her from complete destruction. Again, the implication is that America will prove its value and God's purposes as Israel's long-time friend and ally. Charles Miller's in-depth explanation of Revelation 12 can be viewed here.

To reiterate, the majority of so-called "Christian" media teach that America is either not mentioned in scripture, and therefore will be rendered totally irrelivant during the end-times, or that it is "Mystery Babylon," and will suffer God's judgement and ultimate destruction. However, it can be shown that these views are in error, and indeed America will fulfill its ultimate purpose as a shelter of Israel and God's chosen people, the Jews. Recall what God spoke to Abraham:

Genesis 12: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Our nation has been in the forefront in standing by and blessing the nation of Israel, and I believe that this promise is significant in dispelling the false teaching regarding the damnation of America and its imminent destruction. Yes, there are many things wrong with our country, with many abominable sins and societal ills that curse us, but the one thing that singles America out of all others is our steadfast defense of the nation of Israel.

For quite a few years now, men like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jack Van Impe have been counting down the days when America's end would come, because they believed that they would be spectators when God's wrath would be poured out upon this country. They believe and teach that America isn't part of God's plan in the end-times, and they proclaim God's wrath being poured out every time a hurricane or terrorist bombing hits us.

Rather than condemning America and setting up believers with a false notion that America doesn't matter, these religious media people should be calling believers to pray for our nation, and for our continued support and blessing of the state of Israel. The future of America is counting upon it.

Is America Mentioned in Scripture? Part 1

For most, if not all of the “Left Behind” crowd, the notion that “America is not mentioned in scripture” fits nicely into their pre-tribulation belief system. They believe that America’s prominence in the world will be destroyed, and all who are left after this devastation will march in lock-step with the Antichrist and his minions. Others suggest that America is even “Mystery Babylon,” and that its destruction will follow from the words in Revelation 18:

2: And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3: For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

This, of course ignores the fact that in verse 10, it says:

10: Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

…and also Isaiah 13:

19: And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20: It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

Clearly, the prophesy is about the “great city” “of the Chaldees’ excellency.” Babylon has been a habitable city dating back to Noah’s time, and it still is. Clearly, it will rise again to be a city of great importance, and it will be “Mystery Babylon” (not Rome and not America).

Then, if America is not “Mystery Babylon,” then where would it be mentioned? First of all, misinterpretations of Daniel’s visions need to be dispensed with. Michael, the archangel told Daniel:

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Daniel witnessed, listened to, and recorded the visions he saw, but he could not understand them. However, he was told that the words he wrote would be sealed, “even to the time of the end, [when] many shall run to and fro (technology will allow men to traverse the globe), and knowledge shall be increased (technology will allow men to know far more than they had known in any time previously).

So what does this mean? It clearly means that man would not know the meaning of Daniel’s prophesies and visions until “the time of the end.” Only within the past thirty or forty years have we had the ability to “run to and fro” and have had the ability with the use of computers for the increase in knowledge spoken of in Daniel 12, so that would mean that interpretations of Daniel’s visions prior to our time are incorrect.

Therefore, the interpretation of the “four beasts” as Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome are incorrect, since this interpretation was borne out of the Ante-Nicene Fathers in AD 325. Daniel’s vision in chapter 8 also tells of two beasts as being “a ram which had two horns,” and the other as a “goat [that] had a notable horn between his eyes.” These two beasts are clearly identified:

20: The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21: And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

The four beasts spoken of in Daniel 7 are traditionally identified as Babylon (“a lion, and had eagle's wings”), Persia (“like to a bear”), Greece (“like a leopard”), and Rome (“diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns”). However, how can it be that Persia and Greece, spoken of in Daniel 8 as a ram and goat are also like “a bear,” and “a leopard?” God is not the author of confusion (I Corinthians 14:33), therefore, the beasts spoken of in Daniel 7 must represent someone or something else.

Also, in the interpretation of this vision in verse 17, it says:

“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.”

The tense of this sentence is clearly in the future, and since Babylon was on the verge of being overthrown by the Persians, and the Persians were already on their doorstep, no part of this vision can be concerning them either.

So, I believe that it can be established that the traditional interpretation of Daniel 7 is incorrect. I can also establish, by using Daniel 8 that the beasts used in the vision of the four beasts are representative of nations and winds of social change in our time. Again, Daniel 8 identifies the Medes and Persians as “a ram with two horns,” and Greece as a “rough goat.” This identification is due to the fact that, at that time, both nations used these animals as emblems of their respective countries:

Persian monarchs wore a jeweled ram's head of gold instead of a crown.

Amyntas I of Macedon, upon being threatened with an invasion, became tributary to Persia about 547 B.C.

The history of this event is recorded in one of the pilasters of Persepolis, as a Persian holding a one-horned goat in his left hand.

Archelaus of Macedon minted a one-horned goat coin in 413 B.C.

As with this identification of nations with animal representatives in Daniel 8, the same goes with a proper identification of nations with animal representatives in Daniel 7. Let’s see what Daniel says about the first beast:

4: The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

The lion has been a national emblem of England dating back to William the Conqueror (A.D. 1066), and the eagle has been America’s national emblem since its birth. Also, coupled with the description of it being “lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it,” clearly this portion of the vision is speaking of constitutional representative democracy. No other form of societal government can be described as such. Also, the “wings thereof were plucked” clearly describes America’s split with England in 1776.

Therefore, if America can be established as being, in part, the first of the four beasts in Daniel 7, then America will NOT be destroyed as so many false prophets and false teachers claim will happen. We know this from Daniel 7:11-12:

11: I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn [of the forth beast] spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12: As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

Here, it clearly says that the first three beasts will outlive the forth, although America’s dominion and world prominence will be taken. I believe that America will survive the great tribulation, and that we will have a great role to play in world events as Israel’s friend and ally. I will speak more regarding this in part 2.

Falwell's Hands in Moon's Pockets?

Check this out regarding "Dr." Jerry Falwell's checking out THE REVEREND Sun Myung Moon's deep pockets. For those of you who don't know, Rev. Moon is a self-proclaimed Messiah of all mankind, who says that Jesus messed things up the first time, because he didn't get married and have kids.

Says Moon, he and his current wife are the "true parents of all humanity." (2/9/98 issue of Christianity Today)

Falwell's quote: “If the Unificationists, the American Atheist Society, or Bill Clinton himself ever send an unrestricted gift to any of my ministries, be assured I will operate on evangelist Billy Sunday’s philosophy of: ‘The Devil’s had it long enough’ ... and quickly cash the check!” says it all.

NBC's Desperate Episcopalians

Brent Bozell tell's it for those of us who wouldn't give the networks the time of day. Why does it not surprise me that the Episcopal Diocese of Washington is all behind "The Book of Daniel?" Hopefully, it'll get axed before February.

What Did Christ Say About It?, Part 3

Following verse 14, Jesus switches gears a bit, moving from events that effect the entire world to events effecting His people, Israel. He speaks specifically regarding them in verses 15 through 20:

15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19: And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20: But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

Here Christ completes the picture, giving an overview of the time of troubles faced by His church, and a regional picture of the terror His chosen people will face at the same time. The abomination of desolation spoken in verse 15 refers to the prophet Daniel’s vision in his writings, chapter 11, verse 31, and chapter 12, verse 11. This is actually a multiple occurrence of an abomination taking place in the holy place of the Temple. The first case occurred in 168 BC by Antiochus Epiphanies, which led to the rebellion by Mattathias and Judas Maccabees.

At the time when Jews in Jerusalem see an occurrence mirroring the one committed by Antiochus Epiphanies, Jesus tells them to immediately run for safety. Regardless of the time, season, day of the week, and even if it is on the most holy day, they are to drop whatever they are doing, and run for their lives, because they are in mortal danger! As with the universal attempt to wipe out Christianity from the face of the earth, there will be a universal pogrom to destroy, once and for all, God’s chosen people, the Jews.

Then, beginning with verse 21, Jesus ties everything together with the following statement:

21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Here it is stated as plain as day what this time will is. Believers in Jesus Christ, as well as God’s chosen people, the Jews–the race which God blessed, from which arose the Hope of all mankind–will be made to come together in the face of this great period of tribulation. So great a time of peril it will be, that it will be like no other time before it.

Christ further describes the terrible seriousness of this time in verse 22:

22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Here, the meaning is that the time of this period of extreme tribulation will not be so prolonged, so that Satan will be able to succeed in destroying God’s "elect." God’s mercy will provide a way for His servants to continue His work on earth, even during this terrible period of pain and death.

Following this, Christ reiterates what he spoke of earlier in verse 5, when he said that "many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Verses 23 through 28 state:

23: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25: Behold, I have told you before.
26: Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28: For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

This portion prepares the disciples and us, the readers of Matthew’s account for what the true appearing of Jesus, the Messiah of the Jews and Savior of all who will receive Him will be like. We are to reject any and all notions that Christ is here among us, or that he is in a specified place where we may see him. Anyone claiming that Christ is here or there is an apostate, because as verse 27 says, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

His coming is not going to be something that is secret and/or silent. His coming will be seen by everyone. It will be bright and thunderous. I imagine it to be as though a 10,000 megaton nuclear device explodes in earth’s atmosphere, something that will be so bright and so loud that no one will be able to miss it.

Here is what Christ says regarding His coming:

29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31: And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

There is nothing secretive or "wimpy" about Christ’s return to earth. Nobody will be able to miss it. If someone can’t see it, they’ll hear it. If they can’t see or hear it, they’ll feel it in the shaking of the earth and atmosphere around them: "and then shall all the tribes of the earth (as opposed to "the elect") mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." And then, verse 31 tells of what will occur next–the same sounding of the trumpet spoken of by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52, where the elect shall be gathered by His Angels, "from the four winds" (the elect on earth), and "from one end of heaven to the other (the elect who have already joined Him from times past).

Compare Matthew 24: 31 with 1 Corinthians 15:52:

52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

It is obvious that these two events are identical. "The dead" who are raised are those who the angels will gather "from one end of heaven to the other," "and we (who are still alive, who) shall be changed" are those who the angels will gather from the four winds. Christ tells his disciples, and us that we will experience this "great tribulation" He speaks of, and only after this will we be raptured. He does not mince words or gives inference that he is only speaking of Israel and the Jews only, as I have read from some heretical commentaries. We WILL face this "great tribulation," so we will need to have the resolve to "endure" this time until the very end. (Matthew 24:13)

However, we are also called to serve Christ always, just as the apostles served Him, even to the end of their own lives. There will be much work to do, and few hands to do it. We must continue to proclaim Christ to the fallen and to reap the harvest (John 4:35), until Christ comes and we are called home.
