THE SWORD OF ISLAM!

Daniel 11:33 says, "And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:"
(Hopefully, that means that many will be open to instruction and that many who are deceived will become enlightened.) "yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil many days."

[Side note: When I became a new believer, fellow-disciples suggested that when the Bible spoke of "falling by the sword", it was probably referring to "guns". The reasoning was that guns hadn't been invented yet in the days of the ancient prophets, so they didn't have a name for "gun" and used the word "sword". But, look how accurate those prophecies are! Swords have come into play BIG TIME with ISIS. In fact, the "sword" of Islam is one of those huge puzzle pieces that fits perfectly and designates the time period we are in. It's amazing.]

When we look at ISIS or ISIL or IS, what we are seeing is the end results of deception. So, it would be wise to take a closer look at what is at the root of this deception and what motivates this evil. It's a merciless form of legalism where the executioner is also the unquestioned prosecutor, judge and jury!

"Off with their heads!"

The deception of Islam goes back a mere 1,405 years ago to around 610AD.

Have you ever wondered where the Muslims got their ideas for stoning offenders? For cutting off the hands of thieves? For crucifying offenders? Where did they get that term "infidel"? Why do they turn toward Mecca when they pray? Where did that idea come from? And what about multiple wives? How about the washing protocols? And the veil that women must wear? Where did they get those ideas? Huh?

From the Bible. Mostly the Old Testament.

There's a LOT of stuff in the Bible. It truly is an amazing book. Islam didn't come up with one original thought for their so-called "religion", they merely perverted things that came out of the Bible. The Devil knows the Word of God! He knows his enemy! Just as we should know our enemies!

I'm really putting my head on the chopping block here to say this but I believe that the three great religions in the world today: Catholicism/False Christianity, Islam and Judaism are perversions of the Word of God. ---Lies of the Devil, twisted truths, and the "letter of the law" with the Spirit of God's Love removed from it. Legalism, man's self-righteousness and works of the flesh are their core values. And THAT is why many people are saying,

"Religion is the worst problem on the planet."

Another deception is that Islam is a "peaceful" religion and that "all religions are peaceful". In fact, Christians have said this to me.

Islam has always been violent. It was born in violence. This "Holy Jihad" is a throw-back to the beginning of Islam when Islamists spread their "faith" by the SWORD as they are doing today.

Since June, 2014, ISIS (who now call themselves IS or the Islamic State) have killed over 10,000 people. That figure does not include suicide bombings, those killed in battle, or those shot while trying to escape.

3,027 were executed in Syria, another 7,700 in Iraq. 74 children were also killed. We're talking about beheadings and execution type murders. Only a very few of these barbaric beheadings have been caught on camera. The first thought that comes to many minds is, "They didn't only execute Christians."

Didn't they?

Well, if they didn't only execute Christians, you can bet that the proponderance of executions were of Christians and those who rejected Islam. There were a few Muslims, yes, of other sects of Islam that weren't as dedicated or were made examples of because of their lack of "peity", failure to fast "properly" or "sodomy", etc.

It is widely known that the Muslims believe they will earn their way into paradise by killing Christians. That's why they ask what religion you are before they cut off your head!

Crucifixion is a punishment to publicly display offenders but, in many cases, it does not lead to death. How ironic that they would use the punishment given to our Lord. It's so archaic. The barbaric Romans thought that one up.  

The so-called "Christian Crusaders" were not Christians and if any of them professed to be Christians, they were totally out of touch with Jesus. How can I know that for a fact? Because Jesus told us to love our enemies.

The apostles of Jesus Christ did not use violence or physical threat or punishment to take the Gospel forward. If anyone got killed, it was by an angel. The apostles didn't kill anyone. They healed people, they delivered people from demon-oppression and they surrendered themselves as martyrs into the hands of their enemies that Christ instructed them to love.

True followers of Christ are non-violent and non-retaliatory. (Sorry, all you gun-slingers out there who feel God has given you the right to use arms to "protect" yourselves and your families. Not so! True believers resist the Devil in the spirit with spiritual weapons and our weapons are not carnal.)

The Crusades were not ordained by God. That is why they failed. Lives were cost but Muslims were not won to the Lord. How could that be called a "Holy Crusade"? That was a dandy bad example of what Christians are NOT supposed to do. It was supported by the Free Masons and the "Holy" Roman Catholic Church which is not of God either.

Phew.

Deceptions are everywhere, like the sand of the sea.

I was thinking too about how ISIS is killing anyone who refuses to accept their religion and I wondered whether they were actually trying to cut off potential believers before they got saved so that they wouldn't get saved? In other words, they are sending people to hell, right?

Revelation 6:
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on 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, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

[I honestly would hate to think that power is given to ISIS to kill 1/4 of the world's population! On the other hand, WHO ELSE IS GOING AROUND KILLING PPL WITH SWORDS?]

"yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil many days."

ISIS has been killing with the sword, hunger, flame, captivity and spoil. If they also use the beasts of the earth to kill people, that will be yet another sign, won't it?


9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 

Do you think that there are souls under the alter that were slain for the word of God? Where did those 10,000+ souls go that have been slain by ISIS?  Are they crying out to God asking Him to pour out His wrath on their enemies?

If so, the last 7 years are imminent.

What sign should we watch out for to place us at the beginning of the last 7 years? I believe there are at least THREE SIGNS:

1 THE CONFIRMING OF A 7 YEAR PEACE AGREEMENT
2 A NEW WORLD ORDER LEADER APPOINTED
3 THE CONSTRUCTION OF ISRAEL'S 3RD TEMPLE 

This I say by faith that the Lord showed me the Peace Covenant will include permission for the temple to be built near the Dome of the Rock. That, in itself, will take a miracle. But, that miracle of allowing the Jews to build will be a historical time freeze COMING SOON that will kick off the last 7 years of world history.

I hope you'll remember this when it happens because I also feel that there will no longer be free speech over the Internet in soon-coming days, Beloved. We will be even more heavily watched.
