Persecution of Christians is back with a vengeance as the radical terrorists of al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood - supported by Terrorist-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama - tear across the Middle East burning churches by the score, and religiously cleansing entire towns and villages.
In Syria, the entire Christian village of Maaloula has been cleansed of "infidels" with the brutality one might expect of religious fanatics whose "holy" book tells them to kill Christians and Jews wherever they might be found.
According to news stories and independent video coming out of Syria, Catholic priests have been beheaded {WARNING; NSFW}, nuns have been raped, and little girls have been tortured and have had their limbs cut off; other children have been forced to watch as their parents are beheaded because they refused to renounce their Faith in Jesus Christ, choosing instead to be martyred.
While the guillotines have not yet been brought out in the United States, Christians and Christianity are under unmistakable attack in the United States as well. Here is a brief (and I do mean BRIEF) list of such recent attacks:
- Soldiers Told If They Donate To Christians or Tea Parties, They’ll Be Subjected To Punishment Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
- Military Documents Confirm Obama Is Silencing, Criminalizing Christianity
- Priests Threatened With Arrest if They Minister to Military During Shutdown
- Former Commander: Now It’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell for Christians
- Gay Flag Flies at Afghan Base But the Christian Cross Is Banned
- Strange: Is There a Red Line For Christian Beheadings? Didn’t Think So.
- DOJ Declares War On All Non-Muslims
- Pentagon Preparing to Court Martial Christians?
- Pressure By Obama? US Army Lists Christianity As Religious Extremism
- Federal Attorney Warns Negative Posts Against Islam Could Get You Prosecution & Imprisonment
- Obama’s War On Christianity Continues: DOJ Defunds Youth Programs that Reference God
- Commander Tells Troops That Patriots, Christians Belong to Hate Groups
- Soldiers Told If They Donate To Christians or Tea Parties, They’ll Be Subjected To Punishment Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
But you want to know what is really sweet? At the link just above this line, you will find my source for the opening segment in this show, the story of an increasingly rare victory for Christians. It seems that after Janet Napolitano labeled Christians (among just about everyone else in the country) as possible domestic terrorists, the Army followed suit with a series of briefings given to commanders and NCOs throughout the Army by decidedly anti-Christian "Academics."
Fortunately for the Church, Secretary of the Army John McHugh "has ordered all training and instructions that label evangelicals as 'extremists' or possible domestic terror threats be ended. In a memo distributed to troops on Oct. 18, 2013, McHugh addressed media reports that have highlighted US Army training material that is 'inaccurate, objectionable and otherwise inconsistent' with current Army policy."
Score one for the good guys.
But as previously stated, attacks on Christianity are on the increase, even here in the United States. We are entering the time of Tribulation warned about in the Bible, where before Christ returns for His Bride Christians may very well pay the price for their Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with their lives. There are reports of 30,000 guillotines already in storage at military bases around the country, ready to be used at a moment's notice.
And I saw thrones, and they that sat on them. And judgment was given to them, and to the souls of the ones having been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus, and because of the Word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast nor its image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. ~ Rev. 20:4
Are you ready to give your life for our King? When the Devil's minions are threatening the life of your child. demanding that you accept the Mark of the Beast, will you stand firm? Will you say, "Praise Jesus, Lord I'm comin' home!" as the blade falls; or will you allow the threats of men and the fear of mortal death to intimidate you into accepting the Mark?
I wish I could count on the Rapture to spare the Church, my family and myself included, from the coming Tribulation; but the Bible says that we will suffer for Christ. We are not, however, "appointed to wrath," so at least - according to the Pre-Wrath Rapture scenario towards which I'm leaning- we will be spared the Hell on Earth that awaits the damned.
Let's just pray that our Father in Heaven will protect us from the schemes of the Devil, who is in the Earth right now seeking whom he may devour. I, for one, intend to give the bastard heartburn if he tries to take a bite out of me or mine. In any case, I know that he can do nothing to me or my family that Father won't allow; His will, not mine, be done.
If that means I have to lose my head, or suffer watching a member of my family being tortured or killed, then so be it. Our mortal lives, a blink of the eye compared to Eternity, are nothing. Pain is momentary, fear can be overcome; remaining steadfast as we proclaim Christ King, no matter what the cost, is paramount.
God bless and keep you all,
Bobby
We are not appointed to "God's wrath." The tribulation is Lucifer's wrath. God's wrath is after the tribulation.
ReplyDeleteI salute and thank you. Russia confuses me as long ago supposed anti Christian genocide, now the only remaining super power that rejects gay public rights or expression, in support of God of Adam, Eve, Abraham.... Do they now support Old and New Testaments. ? Or ate they just opposed to gay expression, rights, and the great increase it brings to tax payer support to couples. ? Etc... The increase it causes in people just wanting sex... from anywhere.... the loss of good morals and priorities... more divided families and drain on... support services... loss of humanity... There are high knowledge reasons for the many instructions given by God to Leviticus to pads on, record however they did, clay tablets, feather dye to bark or stone... Stating day 28 from birth best time for circumcision, known only 100 yrs ago as correct as when blood white cells are higher then any earlier or later time... Rest crop field and grind crop back in ground every 7th yr... many more... There lies God's signature of proof.
ReplyDeletewe must stand with our Jewish brethren as well as with other Christians around the world. we will all suffer under the devil and his followers. Lord I feel fear of what is to come, but I do not fear death. I have died and through your Son I have been born again. I live again, He is my redeemer.
ReplyDeleteIm worried that I wont be able to endure the torture or seeing family members beheaded. I want to live forever with my Lord and Savior. I guess I just need to pray for the strength to get through it if it should ever come to that type of end. I want my children to be able to be strong enough to know that if they stay stead fast in their beliefs we will all be in heaven again. Please pray for me and mine.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for you.... will you pray for me? I am scared as well....my name is Brandi.
DeleteYes Brandi I will pray for you. Prayer going up now!!
DeleteAbsolutely Brandi. Two things you must remember:
Delete1.) God never burdens us with more than we can handle.
2.) NOTHING will happen to you that Father does not allow.
Trust in Him to be your Rock, your High Tower, your Defender, and your Mighty Man. Watch this and be blessed.

Get it right it'll make sense. Christian's are:Christ's body. Jewish people are:God's bride . Just think about it. Only way to separate judgment from other.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the bride is not appointed to wrath, the eleven apostles who denied the Lord were martyred. The key is to not deny the Lord. In Revelation 3:10 the Lord promises one group of people to be spared from the terrible time of wrath and tribulation at the end of the age. This one group of people are called the church of brotherly love and the specific condition they meet is that they NEVER DENY HIS NAME. People will continue to be martyred before and after the rapture, but the bride who never denies His name - which is His Word and His covenant (the Bible) are spared. The Lord also identifies those who do not know Him as THE LEFT (Matt 25) No one who belongs to the left knows the Lord and Everyone who belongs to the left denies His name DAILY
ReplyDeleteThis is rubbish /// it is hard to understand that people read this silly stuff '
ReplyDeleteonly one way to find out Barry...just stick around long enough
DeleteMy name is Barry I live in Australia I placed the las comment //// this rubbish is a joke you can,t be serious .
ReplyDeleteIsrael can defend itself and defeat all Arab armies combined while Middle East Christians are defenseless and neglected by Christians in the west.
ReplyDeleteI know that my redeemer lives, but I also am afraid of what's to come. I'm 70 yrs. old and I have 4 children, 7 grand children and 5 great grand children and yes I'm afraid of what they may have to face. I try to tell them but I don't think they take me seriously. How do I get them to understand? They all know who Jesus is and they say their prayers, don't know if that is enough.
ReplyDeleteThe Word of God in Romans 10:9 ..that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead ,you will be saved. 2 Timothy 1:7..for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Do not listen to this fear propaganda , it is not from God. Yes we may have to give our lives but so did our Lord. Maranatha!
ReplyDeleteLuke 22:36
ReplyDeleteThen He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
He tells us to pray he "comes quickly". The thing about it is in order for him to come quickly these horrible things must happen quickly. May our Father bless you all gird you with Truth in Jesus name amen.
