Friday, November 13, 2015, innocent people in Paris were attacked, leaving 129 dead and 352 wounded, including 99 in serious condition. ISIS claims that eight terrorists were responsible.
Forty-three died in Beirut, Lebanon just a day before the Paris attacks. ISIS also claims responsibility for this attack.
ISIS has since threatened to attack Washington D.C. ISIS has stated that they have trained soldiers in 15 different American States and are ready to attack at any time. They named five states they plan to attack: California, Virginia, Maryland, Illinois and Michigan.
ISIS believes that they need to create world chaos and a world war to enable their twelfth Mahdi to arrive and finish conquering the world for Muslims, forcing all to convert to Islam or die. In other words they are willing and earnestly trying to usher in Armageddon before the Mahdi will return.
ISIS is a radical splinter group of Islam whose ideology is political as well as religious. They are convinced that all the earth must submit to Sharia Law of the newly created Islamic State or Caliphate. Jihad or holy war is called for by Allah and their Koran. It is a war against all who are not true Sharia Law Muslims. This explains why they fight and kill their fellow Muslims from time to time.
85% of all Muslims are Sunnis, the other 15% are Shiites, and they fight each other over who is best qualified to lead the Islam religion and Caliphate. The Shiites dominate Iran and Iraq, explaining why both countries support the radical ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood, and other smaller groups who all have the same goal: Rule of the world by Muslims under Sharia Law. Even though the Sunnis desire a slower diplomatic approach to a one world ruled by Sharia Law, they are willing to help the Shiites in their radical approach to bring in Sharia Law. The end result is a one world ruled by Islam, with no infidels. The Radicals are killing hundreds and creating fear and chaos, while Sunnis, like radical Iran, are willing to wait to secure a nuclear bomb to kill millions at one time. Both achieve the same end result.
The Arab Spring saw the overthrow of many governments since the turn of the century. All have been an attempt to replace any form of democracy with Sharia Law. The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria are all about establishing Sharia law and a Muslim Caliphate as a revival of the old Ottoman Empire that was conquered in 1920. Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, North Africa, Lebanon, Palestine, some countries of the Russian Empire, and some countries on the Arab peninsula, all have interest in a Muslim Caliphate ruled by a 12th Madhi.
ISIS is the most recent splinter group that has gone totally violent in bringing the one world rule of Muslims to fruition. Most Muslims believe in a slow diplomatic route to world dominion; but ISIS, the radical Shiites, and Iran, have recently become extremely active in ushering in Armageddon. Iran’s leader speaks peacefully to the world, but militant to his own people, and uses and supports all of these radical groups to do his dirty work for him, until they are ready to make their move on Israel and the United States.
Nazism, Communism, Imperialism, were nothing compared to ISIS Supremacist ideology! ISIS believes that when the 12th Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus arrive, they will kill 60 to 80% of the world’s population for refusing to convert to Islam!
President Mahmoud Ahmadinegad of Iran says he will do all he can to bring the arrival of the 12th Mahdi in his lifetime.
There have been eleven Imans since the prophet Muhammad. All are supposed to be descendants of Muhammad. The twelfth Iman, or Mahdi, is said to be in hiding since his fifth birthday and will reappear when Israel is destroyed. Iran has said many times that the Great Satan (America) and the little Satan (Israel) will finally be destroyed and Islam will be victorious over the world.
It is interesting to see that Istanbul, Turkey is dominated by ISIS, and now they are trying to dominate Damascus, Syria. They believe a final battle will be fought at Dabiq, Syria, which is close to the Turkish border. They also believe that they must conquer Rome (they want to behead the Pope in St. Peter’s Square on International Television), then Israel, to establish their headquarters in Jerusalem and control the whole Middle East.
It at first seems laughable that they could even think this; but in light of the Paris attacks, where the migrants have infiltrated the country as innocent misplaced refugees, when in reality they were trained by ISIS to attack Paris from within – it is not laughable at all. They have done the same all over Europe and in America!
Rape of women and children, torture, beheadings, crucifixions, burying infidels alive, all are normal justifiable acts of intimidation and forcing of non-Muslims to convert or die. Many have cried out from American pulpits and political lecterns that ISIS is coming to America, with our open borders; and as stated above: the claim to be already here across the country ready to strike and instill fear and chaos.
Russia supports Iran, and Syrian President Assad, as well as indirectly supporting radical groups all over the Middle East. Russia also has ties with India; and one of the goals of ISIS is to attack India, hoping to draw America into a ground war where they can attack our soldiers, and usher in a third world war and Armageddon.
Isaiah 17:1 says that Damascus will become a ruinous heap. There are over 1000 prophecies in the Bible, and over 500 of them have come to pass. Over 160 prophecies about Jesus Christ have been fulfilled. If these many prophecies have come to pass, we can rest confident that the rest will come to pass also. The prophecy about Damascus has never been fulfilled, in that it has never been left a ruinous heap without inhabitants.
Many Bible Scholars believe that Damascus and Syria play an important role in the end time scenario about to unfold, that will usher in the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, as the Son of God and the Prince of Peace, who will rid the earth of all evil and those who follow false Christs.
The questions we need to be asking ourselves are:
- “Is the true Jesus Christ about ready to appear in the clouds as He promised when He went away? (Acts 1:11)
- Is Damascus in the news at the ‘right time’?
Jesus died for our sins at just the right time in history; and He deals with nations according to His divine time clock, as well as with each individual soul. Our days on earth are numbered with a day appointed for death. (Genesis 15:16 & Job 14:5)
There is a battle foretold about Damascus, as well as a battle involving Gog and Magog, where an attack upon Israel is attempted and God Himself steps in to defend Israel from destruction. At this time, Israel will know that God has revealed Himself to them, and they will demand a temple to reinstate their Jewish Law. The Fullness of the Gentiles (Romans 11:25-27) is about to be fulfilled, and God is about to turn back to Israel as His chosen people to rule the earth in righteousness and truth.
Is ISIS being used to bring nations together to show the world that He is indeed God,with the result that Israel will believe in Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and the Gentile believers of the world’s nations will rededicate themselves to prayer and fasting and separation from the world, just in time for Him to Rapture His believers out of this world and complete the Fullness of the Gentiles?
When the Fullness of Gentiles has been completed, then Israel will be the center of His attention once again. Blindness in part, which happened to them at the crucifixion, will be lifted, and they will see that Jesus is their Priest, King and Lord who will rule from Jerusalem.
If so, then we can expect the Shemitah, the Four Blood Moons, and ISIS in Syria, to bring something major regarding Israel by Spring of 2016.
In the next few years, we can expect ISIS to accelerate and increase their chaos around the world. We can expect some kind of battles involving Turkey, Syria, Russia, Iran and their allies, trying to wipe Israel off the map. (Ezekiel 38 & 39) We can expect Jesus Christ to return for His believers who are looking for Him!
America is not specifically mentioned in Bible Prophecy. Is this because she is attacked, and crippled as a world power? Does she fall economically, to be absorbed into the one world system? Does she refuse to come to the aid of Israel, trying to avoid a third world war? Does God judge her for throwing Him out of her courts and public arenas, and for not aiding Israel? Or is she crippled because most of the Christians of the world live within her borders, and have been removed via the Rapture of the church?
The next few years should be revealing. Will we know America by 2025? Will the True Jesus Christ have returned to earth to rule from Jerusalem by then? No man knows the day or the hour; but it is given, for us as believers, to know the seasons, and to watch and be highly alert as we see the signs of His coming unfolding.
There is a ‘time of harvest’, when the sheep will be separated from the goats. (Matthew 13:27-30) It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the Judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)
Are you ready to meet the True Jesus Christ as the only way to eternal life? It is time for all to humble their heart, and acknowledge their need of their Lord and God while He still knocks at the door of your heart with conviction over your sins. He is more than ready to forgive and empower you to be ready to meet Him in the air!
Jesus is revealing Himself to Muslims who are disenfranchised with their faith, as they suffer persecution by the hands of radical Islam and reach out to Him for help. We Americans don’t believe in dreams, so Jesus doesn’t appear that often to us. The Middle Eastern world does, and they are coming to Christ in great numbers. Pick up the book “Killing Christians” by Tom Doyle, and read some of the conversion-from-Muslim-to-Christianity stories and what they go through to follow Jesus Christ in a hostile land. It is coming soon to America. Are you prayed up?
