TERRORISM & VIOLENCE
Why
did the Arab
Terrorists attack America?
by
Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
God's
word says.....If you are able to destroy the vast, intricate solar
system, stopping the functions of all heavenly bodies and measure the
'ever expanding universe' and x-ray the innermost core of this planet,
then you will be able to destroy God's chosen people - Israel.
Ever
since the dastardly, devilish and evil terrorist attacks by fanatical
Muslim suicide bombers against America, many people world wide and in the
United States have asked the questions "WHY"?
 Why
did terrorists attack America on September 11?
Why
do many Arabs hate America?
Why
is there so much hatred and terrorism in the world?
THE
REAL CAUSE OF EXTREMIST ARAB HATRED FOR AMERICA IS EXTREMIST ARAB HATRED
FOR ISRAEL
Canada's
former Prime Minister, Jean Chretien shared his belief that the western
world's wealth combined with other nation's poverty, was a major cause of
the terrorist attacks and terrorism in general, and apparently was
a big factor in the September 11th terrorist attack and in world
terrorism.
Progressive
Conservative leader Joe Clark, who will be remembered among other things
as the 'Grand
Marshall' of Calgary’s Gay Pride Parade, seemed to be in
agreement with the Prime Minister on the issue.
More
balanced and intelligent heads prevailed, however, and there were a
chorus of writers, pundits and politicians who discounted such talk as
ridiculous, among them Stephen Harper, leader of Her Majesty's Loyal
Opposition, whose brain is still free from Ottawa's 'politically
correct' disease. He stated: "Mr. Chretien's
comments… are shameful. What
was behind the events of September 11 terrorist attacks are the forces of
evil and hatred...His comments are unacceptable, and he should
apologize to the United States and to the families of the Canadian
victims."
THE
DEEP HATRED FOR ISRAEL BY THE TERRORISTS IS THE CAUSE FOR SEPTEMBER 11
News
reports from the Middle East and comments from Arabs who have fled their
oppressive homelands and received refuge in the West, invariably lay the
blame for their plight at the feet of Israel. One can sense the
hatred when they speak about ‘the
Jews' and their God-given right to live in their own land.
Just
mention Jerusalem - Israel's capital - and Muslims go ballistic! They
claim the 3,000 year-old 'City of David' belongs to them, even
though Jerusalem
is not once mentioned in the Quran, but is referred to hundreds of
times in the Holy Bible. And ironically, when most Muslims
pray toward Mecca,
they turn their backs toward Jerusalem! And you don't hear of
Israel seeking to overthrow Damascus, Jordan, Baghdad, Cairo or Riyadh.
Oh
sure, Jews are to blame for the ignorance and incompetence of Arab
leaders. Israel is to blame for the poverty brought upon them by
the lavish lifestyles of thousands of dictatorial, parasitic princes and
kings, and the ruthless rule of mullahs brainwashed by the teachings of
Muhammad, Wahhabi, Khomeini and Osama bin Laden.
The
danger is that 'airhead
politicians' and 'wing-nut
academics' in some universities, are becoming increasingly
anti-Semitic and have joined hands with Islamic Groups, whose goal is to
foment hatred and violence against Jews, even in America and Canada.
TERRORISTS
ATTACKED IN CANADA - HAS ANYONE APOLOGIZED?
Canadians
ought to be concerned when a visiting former prime minister, who has been
invited to speak at a Canadian university, is prevented from doing so
because of a protest, organized by Islamic Groups against Israel.
How
would we feel if Canada's former Prime Minister Brian
Mulrooney, the late Pierre
Trudeau or the 'retiring' Jean
Chretien, were treated as terribly in any given country, as was
the illustrious and intelligent former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
in Montreal recently?
Benjamin
Netanyahu, former prime minister of Israel, had this to say about the
thugs that prevented him from speaking at 'Montreal's Concordia
University' September 9, 2002: "That
glint of hate, that mad zealotry, is the same that I saw in the eyes of
these rioters in Montreal. It is something that, once it begins to infect
democratic societies, it spreads, it grows." This "glint
of hate" was the same Mr. Netanyahu had observed in the eyes of
anti-Israel terrorists, writes Kevin Michael Grace in 'The
Report' (Oct. 7, 2002)
Jonathon
Kay wrote in the 'National
Post' (Sept.10, 2002) that he was
'dismayed'
that the rioters considered the former Israeli prime minister's presence
an intolerable 'provocation.'
And the Montreal Gazette's Fredrick Krantz stated that 'not
to act decisively' against "the
destruction of academic freedom and free speech" would be "a
dreadful, and portentous victory - let us call a spade a spade - for
fascism."
Lawrence
Summers, President of Harvard
University, said recently: "Serious
and thoughtful people are advocating and taking actions that are anti-Semitic
in their effect, if not in their intent." He was
referring to the growing anti - Semitism on US university campuses! At U.C.
Berkeley on the first night of Passover, someone threw a cinder
block through the glass door of the campus Hillel
Center for Jewish students and spray painted the words F--- JEWS
on the wall. Jewish students were also assaulted on their way to or from
classes,
ARAB
MUSLIM EXTREMISM: DENMARK HAS HAD ENOUGH
Two
well-known authors - American
Daniel Pipes and Danish
Lars Hedegaard
have teamed up to report on the forward thrust of Militant Islam's
'agenda for control' in Western Europe and North America and spreading
world wide quickly.
Daniel
Pipes of www.danielpipes.org is
author of 'Militant
Islam Reaches America' (W.W. Norton). Lars Hedegaard is a regular
contributor to two Copenhagen newspapers, Berlingske
Tidende and Weekendavisen.
Here
in part is one of their recent columns, carried by the Globe and
Mail:
"A
Muslim organization in Denmark
announced a few days ago that a $30,000 bounty would be paid for the
murder of several prominent Danish Jews, a threat that garnered wide
international notice. Less well known is that this is just one problem
associated with Denmark's approximately 200,000 Muslim immigrants. The
key issue is that many of them show little desire to fit into their
adopted country. For years, Danes lauded
multiculturalism and insisted they had no problem with the Muslim customs
- until one day they found that they did. Some major issue.
Living
on the dole. Third World immigrants - most of them Muslims from countries
such as Turkey,
Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and
Iraq - constitutes 5% of the population but consume upwards of 40%
of the welfare spending.
Engaging
in crime. Muslims are only 4% of Denmark's 5.4 million people but make up
a majority
of the country's convicted rapists, an especially combustible
issue given that practically all the female victims are non-Muslim.
Similar, if lesser, disproportions are found in other crimes.
Importing
unacceptable customs. Forced marriages - promising a newborn daughter in
Denmark to a male cousin in the home country, then compelling her to
marry him, sometimes on pain of death - are one problem. Another is the vocal
intent to kill Muslims who
convert out of Islam.
Fomenting
anti-Semitism. Muslim violence threatens Denmark's approximately 6,000
Jews, who increasingly depend on police protection. Jewish parents
were told by one school principal that she could not guarantee their
children's safety and advised to send them to another institution.
Anti-Israel marches have turned into anti-Jewish
riots. One organization 'Hizb-ut-Tahrir',
openly calls on Muslims to "kill
all Jews…wherever you find them."
Seeking
Islamic laws. Muslim leaders openly declare their goal of introducing
Islamic law once Denmark’s population grows large enough - a not-that
remote prospect. If present trends persist, one sociologist estimates, every
third inhabitant of Denmark in forty years will be Muslim."
The
Pipes/Hedegaard column also states: "In reality, however, the new
government barely addressed the existing problems. Nor did it prevent new
ones,
such as the
death threats against Jews, or a recent Islamic edict calling on
Muslims
to drive Danes out of the Nørrebro quarter of Copenhagen.
The authorities remain indulgent. The military mulls permitting Muslim
soldiers in Denmark's volunteer International Brigade to
opt out of actions they don’t agree with - a privilege unique to
them. Mohammed Omar Bakri, the self-proclaimed London-based "eyes,
ears and mouth" of Osama bin Laden, won
permission to set up a branch of his organization, Al-Muhajiroun.
Contrary
to media reports, the real news from Denmark is not flirting with fascism
but getting mired
in inertia. A government elected specifically to deal with a set
of problems has made minimal headway. Its reluctance has potentially
profound implications for the West as a whole!"
Daniel
Pipes is a respected Arabic expert and has written a number of books on
that subject. Unnoticed by most Westerners, Pipes wrote in 1995,
referring to militant Islam, "war
has been unilaterally declared on Europe and the United States."
The director of the Philadelphia - based Middle
East Forum’
was one of the very few Americans to understand the significance of what
to many appeared to be no more than isolated cases of violence. Long
before September 2001, Pipes publicly warned Americans that militant
Islam had
gone to war against America. Now Americans listen to him."
"He
explains what exactly militant Islam is and stresses the large and
crucial difference between Islam, the faith, and militant Islam the
ideology! He demonstrates that there is no clash of civilizations
underway, but a battle for the soul of Islam among Muslims themselves. He
shows that militant Islam is not mainly caused by poverty and that its
adherents, far from being the dispossessed, tend to include the more
talented and Westernized elements. Militant Islam has strikingly much in
common with fascism and communism. Significant elements within American
Islam, for example seek to replace the Constitution with the Quran."
Commenting
on Marianne Meed Ward’s column on "What’s Right" in the Toronto
Sun, The Report's Kevin
Michael Grace writes: "Her July 8 column argues that
importing people from countries like Pakistan, where honor
rape is widespread, is not a problem because 'there's a difference
between cultural practices that are worth tolerating and those that are
aren’t. How to decide? Three
words: the Criminal Code. Among other things, it bans anybody raping
anybody'. But laws are efficacious only if they codify settled
values. There is no pro-rape constituency among Canadians. There is,
however, a considerable
pro-rape
constituency among Pakistanis and other Muslims."
Grace
comments on countries that have taken in large numbers of refugees and
immigrants: "Rape
is against the law in Norway, too. The British news service Ananova
reported September 7, 2001, that immigrants make up only 14 % of the
population of Oslo, yet "attackers
of non-Western origin were described in 65 % of all reported rapes"
in
the Norwegian capital. "Rachel Paul, from the Center
for Gender Equality, told the daily newspaper 'Dagbadet'
that immigrants needed to be informed about sexual behavior in
Norway." In other words, "FYI, guys; it’s not okay to rape
women here."
"France
also forbids rape. But French Muslims have made it a sport. James
Fulford notes on vdare.com July 23
that the tournante
("take your turn") is the subject of a French movie, La
Squale. The movie, which 'shocked
a nation with its horrific scenes of gang rape', tells of its 'code
of silence' in the North African society that has been
transplanted to the suburbs of France. One of the female leads in the
movie…told the BBC's
Rosie Goldsmith that the movie is totally realistic. 'Two
of my friends', she explained, 'have
been gang raped. One Turkish girl and one white French girl. The
boys jumped on them, one after another. In five minutes it was over but
those five minutes have ruined
their lives. I am afraid most of the time that it could happen to
me."
"Muslim
gang rape has also been transplanted to Australia, where last year
15 Lebanese men were charged with over 300 assaults in one year on white
Australian girls aged 13 to 18. And the "code
of silence" has been transplanted
to Canada. Ms. Ward writes, "If Pakistani immigrants are of the
rape-as-justice mindset, they’ll be sorely disappointed by the limits
on their behavior in the land of the supposed free."
The
question is, "Will our corruption-prone, soft-on-crime, politically
correct government have the 'guts' to enforce the law, or will our
un-elected judges change the law to accommodate the lawbreakers, because
of terrorist threats or the fear of being called 'racist' or prejudiced'?
POSTAGE
STAMPS ISSUED IN THE MIDDLE EAST SHOWED A BLOODY KNIFE IN HEART
OF ISRAEL
In
1965,
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Yemen and Lebanon issued postage stamps
showing a bloody
knife in the heart of Israel. Any unbiased researcher would have
to say, that hatred among Middle Eastern Arabs and Muslims against Jews
and the nation of Israel, is far stronger today that it was in 1965! That
is a very scary and solemn fact, especially when you know how Muslim
dictators treat minorities and people of other faiths.
THOUSANDS
OF JEWS WERE MURDERED
History
reveals how Muhammad murdered thousands of Jews, and broke his peace
treaty called 'Hadabijjah
Pact' with the Arabian Qurash tribe! Yasser Arafat stated that
according to Omar bin Katab and others, Muhammed's peace treaty was only
a 'Lesser
Value Agreement' because he had agreed to sign the treaty
without the words, "Messenger
of Allah" after his name! He did not keep his word, and his
name has no merit,
Anyone
who has read Paul Marshall’s, 'Their
Blood Cries out' or Nina Shea's, 'In
the Lion's Den''or heard Jewish Barrister Michael
Horowitz speaking at the United
States Congress on the horrible slavery, brutalizing, and genocide
of Sudan's Black Christians in the south, by the Arab Muslims of the
north - between
1 to 2 million murdered during the last 15 years
- would not wish Islamic rule on their worst enemy.
TERROR
IN INDONESIA - DAVID AIKMAN
In
a piece titled 'Terror in Indonesia', David Aikman, a senior fellow of
the Ethics
and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. and former foreign
correspondent with Time
magazine wrote in Charisma
(Feb. 2002).
"The
new element introduced by the events of September 11 is that the
supporters of "Islamism"
- the
ideology of Osama bin Laden that seeks to impose a global utopian Islamic
theocracy by force
- are quite open about declaring a war on non-Muslim religions.
"Islamists", the commonly accepted term for Islamic political
radicals, have repeatedly made it clear that they are indeed fighting a
religious war and that Christianity in general is one of their targets.
Often they lump Christianity and Judaism together as the chief obstacles
to Islamic world domination, with a conspiracy-theory view of their chief
adversary as "Crusader-Zionists."
Unfortunately,
the religion of Islam can certainly be used to rationalize this world
view. The overall thrust of the Quran is aggressive toward non-Muslims.
One Quranic verse directs followers of Islam to "fight
against" Christians and Jews. In sura
5:60 we read that Allah has transformed Christians and Jews into "apes
and swine" who worship "evil."
In
addition, throughout most of Islamic history, according to the preeminent
American scholar of Islam, Bernard Lewis of Princeton
University, jihad
was overwhelmingly understood by Islamic scholars and theologians in its military
sense, though if can mean "struggle" in the inner sense
of a Muslim's wrestling against sin.
It
is thus especially worrying when the web site of the Islamist
Laskar Jihad in Indonesia openly advocates Jihad
against the Christians
of Sulawesi, an Island to the northeast of Java."
Aikman
reports: "One threat of an imminent Laskar
Jihad onslaught
against 68,000 Christians at the heart of Poso was forestalled
when Indonesian
President Megawati Sukarnoputri in December ordered several
thousand troops into the area to disperse the Islamic
warriors. It may well have been an answer to a worldwide concert
of prayer.
But
Indonesia's Christians are still under immense threat. More prayer is
needed, along with letters to President
Bush and members of Congress
to pressure the Indonesian government to do even more to protect and
rescue their country’s Christians." And so are all Western
interests in Muslim-dominated-countries worldwide, as we saw in the October
13, 2002 massacre bombings in Bali, Indonesia, leaving several
hundred dead and hundreds more injured.
For
those not following the news, it might be interesting to know about the
burning of Churches and the
killing of Christians by Muslims in Indonesia, as well as the very
recent killings of worshippers in Churches and Christian workers in
Pakistan.
EDICT
TO KILL JERRY FALWELL REVEALS EXTREMIST ISLAMIC HATRED
It's
as if the ghost of the brutal Ayatolleh
Khoemeni, who called for the murder of Salmon
Rushdie more than a decade ago had returned, to hear another
Iranian Muslim cleric Mohsen Mojtahed call for the murder of the Reverend
Doctor Jerry Falwell, who as an educator,
theologian and
university president, researched the life of the former warrior -
prophet and concurred with what history reveals: that Muhammad was
"a man of violence"! For that statement, the Shiite
cleric has ordered his death.
Why
does the World Court remain silent? Why has Idi Amin, the brutal monster
- who
killed thousands of Christians and deported East Indians -remained
sheltered in Saudi Arabia? Why has he not been brought to justice?
Why did the world allow Ayatolleh
Khoemeni to terrorize Salmon Rushdie?
And why should Mojtahed
be allowed to terrorize Dr.
Falwell,
a highly respected US citizen and clergyman, simply because he
gave an educated response to a legitimate question on a TV Talk Show?
Are
we to lose our freedom of speech simply to appease some Middle Eastern
fanatics? Never! Must we in North America change our customs, adopt a
tribal religion, change our laws and live in a climate of fear because of
'terrorist threats' by some weird fanatics? A thousand times NO!
WORLD
TERRORISM AGAINST CHRISTIANS
The
'Edmonton
Journal' carried the following letter to the Editor,
October 15, 2002: "Incitement to kill - Iranian Muslim clerics
have called for three American preachers - Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson
and Jerry Falwell - to be killed, for statements which these men have
made against Islam. Will the world community remain silent while these
backward, self-righteous, "holier-than-thou" mullahs dictate to
the world what people must believe and say?
Freedom
Quest International
condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the issuing of all fatwas and
calls for death for people who express personal convictions and opinions.
These include the edicts against Salmon Rushdie, the three men cited
above, as well as Kola Boof, the woman condemned to be beheaded by the
Islamic court in the U.K. at the request of a Sudanese spiritual leader.
Sudanese and Iranian so-called clerics have no right to impose their
beliefs on anyone else.
If
these so-called Muslim clerics want people to see Islam as a religion of
peace, this lunacy of death fatwas must stop. Unless these actions are
opposed immediately, religious and political freedom everywhere will be
seriously placed at risk. Freedom
Quest calls on Muslim leaders everywhere to publicly condemn these
fatwas and incitings to kill." - Mel Middleton, Trochu, AB
THE
REASON THE UNITED STATES & the world are hated by so many
extremist Arabs and a portion of the extremist Arab world is because they
are a nation built on Christian principles, and believe the Word of God,
the Holy Bible, which states emphatically that if one blesses
Israel, he will be blest, but if one curses Israel, then he will be
cursed! (Genesis 12: 3)
And
because Israel
is a beacon of democracy dwelling in the midst of tyrannical
dictatorships, naturally America favors them over those who exercise
abusive power over the people!
Fearing that democracy
will drive them out of their palaces, they spread lies about the USA and
Israel to the uneducated masses.
To
all who hate Israel, the Jews, the Jewish, and seek her
destruction, the Holy Bible Scriptures give specific instructions
on how to do it! Almighty
God states that if you are able to destroy the vast intricate solar
system, stopping the functions of all heavenly bodies and measure the
'ever expanding universe’' and x-ray the innermost core of this planet,
then you will be able to destroy His people, Israel! Please
Read - Jeremiah 31: 35-37; Psalms 89: 34-37.
My
advice to all Muslims, Jews and Christians, don't look at the failures
and frailties of mere men in whatever religion. Look rather to Jesus
Christ - God's Son - Who came to this sin-cursed earth to save us all
from our sins, fears, torments and eternal death.
Allow
me say to my
Jewish friends, Moses will never save you; to my
Muslim friends, Muhammad cannot save you; to my
Catholic friends, Mary cannot save you; to my
Protestant friends, Church membership and good deeds cannot save
you! ONLY JESUS CHRIST has the power and ability to save you,
through His death for you on the cross, by the power of the Holy Spirit
and through His Holy Word.
And
now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, even until Jesus
comes again! Amen and Amen.
P.S.
This article was written without animosity or hate for any person or
religion. It was written in the spirit of humility and concern for people
who are being unjustly treated, harmed or led astray by error. My only
desire was to bring forth the truth, whatever the cost, so help me God!

Are we living in the
LAST
DAYS BEFORE
THE GREAT TRIBULATION?
by
Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
The
Bible states: "And
I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword (war), and with
hunger (famine), and with death (tsunamis, war, earthquakes, mudslides
etc), and with the beasts of the earth (ie: Mad Cow, Monkey Pox,
West Nile Virus, Sars.)" (Revelation 6:8)
PEOPLE
ARE ARE EDGE WONDERING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
People
are afraid, people are nervous and anxious and full of fear. We are
living in a world that is suddenly not a safe place to be. We are
living in a world full of terrorism, wars, new frightening diseases and
viruses and startling weather disasters that are wiping out thousands of
people in seconds.
On
September 11 - the world changed. On September 11 - Satan was
rejoicing. On September 11 - Satan scored a victory. But I am
here to tell you that SATAN CAN BE DEFEATED.
Yes
- the world changed drastically on September 11. What was a
relatively safe, comfortable existence turned instantly into a world of
terror. The Islamic terrorist group al Qaeda and its leader Osama
bin Laden accomplished something very important on September 11.
The terrorists took away our freedom, the freedom to feel safe, the
freedom to feel secure.
And
September 11 was only the beginning. The world is dealing with
so many issues that its hard for people to cope.
Our
world is literally falling apart. Our air is polluted, our water is
polluted, we are experiencing earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis is
places that are totally unexpected and at the greatest magnitudes ever
recorded. Global warming is threatening our very existence and the
new diseases & viruses we are seeing in animals and food products are
alarming.
WHAT
WILL BE NEXT IS THE QUESTION ON THE MINDS OF PEOPLE
The
whole creation, including the earth and all living creatures therein, the
cosmos and all universes that our Lord has created, are groaning and
travailing in pain and travail "together until now."
The
earth is "running down" as Science teaches it will. Man
has polluted the air, polluted the water and the earth. The earth
is polluting and destroying itself through earthquakes, tidal waves,
tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
NATURE,
through solar storms, falling meteors, black holes, white holes and worm
holes is doing damage to the universe. Tornados, cyclones, tsunamis
and severe electrical storms cause great bodily harm and death to people
and animals, as well as destroying millions of acres of timber annually
through forest fire. The animals and wild life are themselves
polluters, spreading disease amongst themselves, as well as being
purveyors of many deadly diseases to the human population.
AIDS,
SARS, MAD COW DISEASE, WEST NILE VIRUS - LAST DAYS PRE-TRIBULATION BIBLE
PROPHECY ?
Are
these diseases and viruses the starting point of what is coming next
during the GREAT TRIBULATION ? I
believe that the outbreak of AIDS, SARS, Ebola virus, Lyme disease, Mad
Cow disease (BSE), Foot and Mouth disease (FDM), West Nile Virus, Hanta
Virus, Monkey Pox and the latent TB and drug resistant TB that is now
rampant (2 billion world wide) is surely Bible prophecy being fulfilled.
There
are also so many new viruses, bacteria and parasites spread by animals,
rodents and pests to human beings. Are these new viruses from
animals also a precursor to the awful things which will happen during the
GREAT TRIBULATION.
NEW
VIRUSES APPEARING AT FASTER RATES, SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
A
headline that appeared (August 2003) in the Washington Post, must have
sent shock waves through the Medical Community and the general
population. From a theological perspective, the connection between
Biblical eschatology and the phenomenal parade of new emerging viruses
being passed from animals to humans, this new report is very significant.
Are
the news diseases Sars, Mad Cow Disease, West Nile Virus, Bird flu and
many others biblical prophecies. Are these world disasters,
extreme weather changes, world disasters and mounting hatred, wars and
nations turning against nations world wide BIBLE PROPHECY coming to
pass.
The
Bible states: "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name
that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power
was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword (war), and with hunger (famine), and with death
(tsunamis, war, earthquakes, mudslides etc), and with the beasts
of the earth (Mad Cow, Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus, Sars.")
(Revelation 6:8)
For
a very long time Bible scholars were unable to understand this verse.
Everyone had serious questions about beasts being a source of so many
people dying. When S.A.R.S. struck the world with a vengeance a
few years ago, the meaning of the scripture became very evident.
St. John's prophecy was so absolutely clear!
THE
BIBLE SCHOLARS CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WAS WRONG
The
prevalent though was that when famine came, the wild beasts from the
forests would enter the cities and towns and kill people for food.
Some translations of Revelation 6:8 placed the words 'wild beasts' in
their study notes.
Now
we know how wrong that interpretation was. God's Word is
absolutely perfect! As a theologian who has studied the Holy Bible
scriptures for over 40 years I believe this to be pre-Tribulation more
and more as the truth in revealed through events that happen round about
us.
In
my research, I found found that SARS, Lyme Disease, Foot & Mouth
disease, Mad Cow disease, Hanta virus, Monkey pox, Ebola virus, Aids and
West Nile Fever are diseases that have all come from animals (beasts) or
rodents and insects (pests).
Jesus
warned: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and PESTILENCES, and
earthquakes, in divers places." (Matthew 24:7).
Rob
Stein wrote: "It happens again and again. Strange and
frightening new infections seem to appear out of no where, such as Lyme
disease, Ebola and of course, AIDS. With Monkeypox coming on the
heels of Sars, which emerged not long after West Nile, it is a phenomenon
that seems to be happening at an accelerating rate.
"Scientists
agree that the trend is alarming and appears to be gathering speed.
In the coming years, they say, dangerous new pathogens emerging."
WE
ARE SURROUNDED BY DEATH & DESTRUCTION - THE WORLD HAS BECOME
UNCERTAIN & FEARFUL
On
every hand, we see death and destruction. The Bible states that,
"the whole world lieth in wickedness." (1 John 5:19);
"And the world passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth
the will of God abideth forever." (1 John 2:15-18)
No only
they, but OURSELVES also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even
we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to
say, the redemption (resurrection) of our body.
SATAN IS
HARD AT WORK AND SATAN'S INFLUENCE IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE
SATAN'S
FILTH & STENCH can be seen, heard and felt across the world.
His evil, unholy and corrupting influence is everywhere present; in
homes, communities and nations, as well as in academia, the government,
commerce, judicial systems and in the church.
The
truth is that the whole world lies in wickedness and Satan is the
"prince of the power of the air." Satan is the author of
the "spirit of disobedience" that pervades society today.
This "spirit of disobedience" is affecting millions of people
across the earth. (Ephesians 2:2, Ephesians 5:6, Colossians 3:6)
Even
though we as Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit and have
fellowship with Jesus and each other, we live in a flesh and blood body.
We are constantly being bombarded with temptations. We have
Christ's promise of divine healing, but we are still subject to ageing
and death.
St. Paul
states that we groan inwardly because of our limitations and desire to be
clothed with a glorified body, knowing that one day we will be changed
and receive a glorified body similar to Christ's. The Bible says:
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that
we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not,
because it knew Him not."
"Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we
shall see Him as He is." (1 John 3:1-2).
Death
and corruption have been present on this earth and in the cosmos since
the terrible 'fall of man' in the Garden of Eden. Everything is
subject to the 'Second Law of Thermodynamics' - that of ageing,
deteriorating and corruption. There is no escaping it.
Everyone that is born dies eventually and will go back to the dust of the
earth. All great men and their empires, small or great will
deteriorate and go to ruin. Now the universe is running out of
steam and Bible Prophecy is being fulfilled and will continue to be
fulfilled as time goes on.
JESUS
demanded: “…Whosever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his
life for My sake and the gospel’s the same shall save it.”
“For
what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in
this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man
be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy
angels.”
(Mark 8: 34–38).
Christ's
Victory and Satan's Defeat is our Liberty for time and eternity!
Amen and Amen.
