Raymond Ibrahim: Christians Persecuted by Muslims Even in the West

Last April, police in Sicily reported that Muslim migrants hurled as many as 53 Christians overboard during a crossing from Libya.  The motive was that the victims “professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.”  Another report cited a boy seen praying to the Judeo-Christian God. Muslims commanded him to stop, saying “Here, we only pray to Allah.”  Eventually the Muslims “went mad,” in the words of a witness, started screaming “Allahu Akbar!” and began hurling Christians into the sea.
It gets worse.  When Christian refugees finally do make it to Western shores, they continue to be attacked by Muslims, or fellow “refugees.”
According to a September 30 report, in Germany, “Many Christian refugees from Syria, Iraq or Kurdistan are being intimidated and attacked by Muslim refugees. In several refugee centers set up by the local authorities, Sharia law is being imposed and Christians—which are a minority—are the victims of bullying.”
Gottfried Martens, pastor of a south Berlin church, said that “very religious Muslims are spreading the following idea throughout the refugee centers: Sharia law rules wherever we are.”  Martens expressed especial concern for Muslims who convert to Christianity—apostates who, according to Islamic law, can be killed: “There is a 100% chance that these people will be attacked.”
Earlier, in July 2014, the weekly Die Zeit explained how “an atmosphere of intimidation and hostility towards Christians” reigns in the refugee centers.  Referred to as “pigs,” Christians have limited access to communal kitchens.  According to local authorities, “The police have reached their absolute breaking point.  Our officials are increasingly being called to confrontations in refugee homes.”
In Sweden, a July report told of how two small families of Christian asylum seekers were harassed and abused by approximately 80 Muslim asylum seekers from Syria.  The Christians and Muslims—described by one Swedish newspaper as “fundamentalist Islamists”—resided in the same asylum house.  As in Germany, the Muslims ordered the Christians not to use communal areas and not to wear their crosses around their necks.
After extensive harassment and threats, the Christian refugees who thought they had escaped “ISIS” left the Swedish asylum house “fearing for their own safety.”

Glimpses of Weapons for World War III



With the frantic preparations for the long-awaited World War III among the superpowers, various shapes of never-before-seen weapons are emerging.  In the opinion of many observers, WWIII has actually commenced on September 30 with the incursion of Russia planes and warships into Syria..  Others even suggest that Obama might be deliberately playing the fool (imagine the incredible Iran nuclear deal!) just to coax the Russia-Iranian coalition into war, while not yet fully prepared.
      While all those might be mere unfounded theories, what is certain is that the Bible clearly predicts a coming Gog-Magog war, spearheaded by the King of the North (can only be Russia).  The battle to be determined at the plains of Armageddon will be the final battle on earth; and it will feature the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
      The outcome of the battle is described in the famous passage of Zechariah 14:12
“And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the nations who besieged Jerusalem; his flesh will waste away while he still stands on his feet; his eyes will waste away in their sockets, and his tongue shall waste away in his mouth.”
      There has been keen interest on what kind of weaponry can produce this kind of results.  Now the speculations are turning to reality with reports filtering in from both Russia and the USA. 
      Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations is warning that “Future weapons will be based on energy, electromagnetic, radiological, geophysical and genetic principles. There will also be special information weapons to change people's perception, completely changing their mind” (Weapons That Could Change Geophysical Landscape, Human DNA to Appear Soon.)

      On the American side, we read of such developments as vehicles that can literally disappear on the warfield.

      Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, a 20th century Torah scholar who served as the head of the Jewish court in London has been widely quoted as saying, “We have a tradition from the Vilna Gaon that the war of Gog and Magog will last 12 minutes. A third of the world will die, a third will suffer from plague and a third will survive.”
      It is only now with the current developments of technology and weaponry that such incredible catastrophe, involving millions and lasting only minutes, can begin to make sense. Dear Reader, does all these sound like business-as-usual to you?

Birth pangs of a coming New Order:



Amidst all the largely man-made rumblings in the socio-economic order in our world, natural disasters also continue to wreck havocs at increasing intensity and frequency across different regions on the planet.  Discerning people have sought to compare these to the birthpangs a woman experiences as her time of delivery draws near.  Recent samples of Landslide, Rains, and Forest Fires from news Reports:

Guatemala landslide deaths rise to 96, with hundreds missing
BBC Report, October 4: The Guatemalan authorities say the number of people killed when a hillside collapsed on houses in the village of El Cambray, 15km outside the capital, has risen to 96. They said another 300 people were still believed to be missing under tonnes of rock and earth that slipped onto homes on Thursday night.”
        The report concludes on a somber note: “Mountainous Guatemala is one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters in the world because of its heavy rainfall and hurricanes and intense poverty which forces people to live in unsuitable areas.
       “The latest disaster may be the worst in a decade.  In 2005 hundreds of people were buried after torrential rain in Panabaj in the municipality of Santiago Atitlan. The authorities were forced to declare the area a cemetery because of the impossibility of recovering the bodies. “

France floods: 16 dead on Riviera after storms
BBC Report Oct 4: “Violent storms and flooding have hit south-eastern France, killing at least 17 people with four more missing, officials say.   Three elderly people drowned when their retirement home near the city of Antibes was flooded.   Others died trapped in their cars in tunnels and underground car parks as the waters rose.  French President Francois Hollande announced a state of "natural disaster" in the affected region.”

Rains not seen for 200 YEARS: Two dead, 22 million on flood watch and New Jersey homes already consumed by high tides in bombardment of weekend storms
A record-setting 'once-in-200-years rainfall event' left 22 million Americans on the East Coast on flood watch as rains have closed down roads, waterlogged crops and showed little sign of stopping. Meteorologist Ryan Maue of Weather Bell Analytics told NBC New York: 'It's going to be a slow-motion disaster'.  

Forest Fire in Indonesia – President Joko Widodo seeks for international help
After initially refusing offers of outside help  increasing rage of forest fire has forced Indonesia to swallow national pride and accepted all helps available from any quarter.  President Joko Widodo not only accepted the offer of assistance by local rival Singapore, it also requesting help from Russia, Malaysia, Japan, and Australia. Unlike regular forest fires, the raging fires in Indonesia are over peat (a source of fuel, like coal) and are much more difficult to put out.  The major concern is over long-term adverse health impact rather than immediate destructions of life and properties.

The World Today – Steve Olumuyiwa



      As is obvious from the events of our present world, everything is shifting, changing—sin is increasing, iniquity is abounding, the persecution of Christians is increasing, the signs of the end are here…wars, rumours of war, natural disasters, uncommon diseases, refugee problems, terror cells and anti-Messiah networks are connecting and waxing strong, etc. Our world today is set to face unusual problems of biblical proportions. Although these problems are multiplying very quickly, it’s an opportunity to bring the Good News of our Jesus Christ to the troubled world.  This is the reason why the Lord is calling forth a strong UNIFIED GATE OF JOSEPH:
       He is calling forth the Josephs (Prophetic dreams Gen 37, Gen 42: 6-9, Watchman over the elements of heaven Ps 81: 1-7, Government/Apostle, Gen 41, ff).  He is calling forth the Joshuas (tribe of Ephraim, I Chro 7:27, Government/ Watchman over the elements of heaven Book of Joshua, Joshua 10:12-14). He is calling forth the Gideons (tribe of Manasseh, Judge/Watchman Judges 6, 7).. He is calling the Deborahs (tribe of Ephraim, Prophetess/Judge/Watchman over the elements of heaven, Judges 4: 5, 5: 20 ff). He is calling the Samuels (tribe of Ephraim, Sam 1, 3: 4-14, Prophet/Judge/Priest, 2 Books of Samuel). He is calling the Esthers (tribe of Benjamin, Government/Intercessor, Book of Esther). He is calling the Mordechais (tribe of Benjamin, Government/Intercessor, Book of Esther). He is calling the Pauls (tribe of Benjamin-Romans 11, Apostle—Book of Acts, Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, etc.)
This month, the Lord is especially calling the apostles, prophets, and watchmen who understand the laws of heaven; they are called to tackle the spiritual and physical problems in today’s world.     
       Therefore, we urge you to yield to the LORD’s call to be part of a Unified Camp of Joseph—to sound the SHOFAR at the new moon (Ps 81:-3), and above all, to sound the shofar when the enemy comes to fight us in the land He has given us or when the enemy comes to fight to steal our harvest (Num 10:9). Let us watch and pray with confidence for Yeshua also intercedes for us continuously (Heb. 7:25). As a unified company of Joseph, we have access to multiple blessings: (Gen 48: 15-22; Gen 49: 22-26, Deut 33: 12-17; Gen 49: 27, Deut 33: 12)  Please pray these blessings over your life.
       There is another reason to watch with great intensity this month. It is the time of Halloween, which marks (1) the beginning of witches new year called samhain, and (2) it is also satan's birthday. To witches, halloween or samhaim is the most important day of the year. It is the supreme night of demonic jubilation: satan is worshipped; spirits of the dead are invoked; there is divination to tap into satanic power to make predictions; satanic powers are invoked to cast spells, exchange destinies, kill, destroy, oppose Christian families, etc.
        The moon is central to all of these events.  Here are the highlights of the events:
a. witchcraft activities (a time to cast spells, time for destiny exchange, to oppose churches and families, perform sacrilegious acts, a time to kill, steal and destroy, etc.)
b. necromancy (graveyard sorcery, feasting with the dead, etc)
c. divination (peeping into the future by tarot card reading, crystal reading, or tea leaf reading)
d. satanic worship (observe satanic rituals, offer blood sacrifices to Satan, etc)
          Although the major event takes place on Oct 31-Nov 1 every year, the "celebrations" begin during the new or full moon before the end of October. This year, halloween events will begin on Oct 13, the day of the new moon. The activities of witches and satanists will increase as we draw near the full moon, which is October 27. These events will continue till the beginning of the next lunar cycle on November 11. It’s time to watch and pray. With Yeshua, the Word of God, as our Captain, we shall surely prevail (Rev. 5:5, Rev. 19:11-20:4).

#JewishLivesMatter - (by Michael Freund)



>  In the past week alone, 13 Jewish kids became orphans, their lives forever altered by the cruelty and savagery of our foes. A nine-year old was forced to stand by the freshly dug graves of his parents and recite Kaddish, an experience that no Jewish child should ever have to endure.

> This past Saturday night, Palestinian terrorist Mohannad Halabi attacked 22-year-old Aharon Banita and his wife and children as they walked through Jerusalem’s Old City during Succot. Halabi stabbed Banita to death and wounded his spouse and two-year-old child, before proceeding to murder Rabbi Nehemiah Lavi, who had heard the commotion and emerged from his apartment to try and stop the bloodshed.
Palestinian shopkeepers saw what was happening and refused to intervene. Instead, according to Banita’s widow, they spat upon her as she cried for help.


> It beggars belief that the world’s top diplomat, the man charged with the mandate of preserving international peace and security, would denounce the killing of murderers but not that of their victims. 


 ******************************************************************************


The past three weeks have seen an increasingly brutal series of Palestinian terrorist attacks against innocent Israeli Jews, but much of the international community either does not know or seem to care.
Toddlers have been wounded, parents murdered in front of their children and Jewish holy sites desecrated, but the conscience of the world has not been pricked. Not one lousy bit.

In the past week alone, 13 Jewish kids became orphans, their lives forever altered by the cruelty and savagery of our foes. A nine-year old was forced to stand by the freshly dug graves of his parents and recite Kaddish, an experience that no Jewish child should ever have to endure.

Yet few outside Israel seem aware of what is happening, and fewer still are shedding tears. It is time for this to change, and for pro-Israel activists worldwide to spread a simple yet powerful message. In the parlance of Twitter, it is this: #JewishLivesMatter.

We shouldn’t have to do this. We shouldn’t have to convince the media or anyone else of something so basic, a value so obvious and fundamental to being human that it staggers the mind that it needs to be articulated or verbalized.

But consider the following example, and you will see exactly what I mean.

This past Saturday night, Palestinian terrorist Mohannad Halabi attacked 22-year-old Aharon Banita and his wife and children as they walked through Jerusalem’s Old City during Succot. Halabi stabbed Banita to death and wounded his spouse and two-year-old child, before proceeding to murder Rabbi Nehemiah Lavi, who had heard the commotion and emerged from his apartment to try and stop the bloodshed.

Palestinian shopkeepers saw what was happening and refused to intervene. Instead, according to Banita’s widow, they spat upon her as she cried for help. When police arrived on the scene, they shot and killed Halabi as he attacked them.

The following day, in its World Digest section, The Washington Post headlined an Associated Press story about the incident as follows: “Palestinian is killed after fatal attack.”

Yes, you read that correctly.

Knowing full well that many readers only glance at the headlines without reading the story, the paper’s editors disgracefully decided to disregard the victims completely, instead providing a false and distorted view of what occurred.

The implicit message behind the Washington Post’s callous choice of words is as unmistakable as it is offensive: Jewish lives don’t matter. When the lives of two Jews are cruelly snuffed out by a Palestinian terrorist, they simply don’t warrant wasting the extra ink needed to include them in a large-type headline.
But it is not just the mainstream press that engages in this ugly and gruesome game. The problem goes much deeper and is far more troublesome than that.

Indeed, the insensitivity toward the value of Jewish life was on full display on Tuesday, when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon went out of his way to condemn the killing of Palestinian terrorists while failing to mention or even acknowledge their Israeli victims.

Ban said he was “profoundly alarmed by the growing number of deadly incidents in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem.”

He then referred to the death of four Palestinians, including three terrorists killed after perpetrating attacks against Israelis, and said the following: “The secretary general condemns the killings and looks to the government of Israel to conduct a prompt and transparent investigation into the incidents, including whether the use of force was proportional.”

Ban did not utter one word – not a single syllable – about the Jews who were killed. Incredibly, he came to the defense of the murderers, demanding an investigation into their deaths, while completely ignoring those whom they killed.
