Looking for the Messiah

January 18, 2009 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Love of Money, Increase of WickednessFor the first time in recorded history we see 3 of the world's major religions looking for the appearance of their savior, messiah or enlightened one.

Christians are looking toward the Second Coming which is the return of their savior, Jesus Christ, the son of God.

Jews are looking for their messiah to come for the first time.

Muslims are looking for the return of the Mahdi, or enlightened one.

The meaning of Islam is 'peace'. Peace in the Middle East between the Arab nations and Israel is the ultimate but elusive objective of all governments which are involved in the so-called peace process.

While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
1 Thess 5:3

They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 6:14

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
Revelation 6:4

Christians also believe in the appearance of a global leader who rises from obscurity. A man who speaks of peace but who also is hell bent on destruction. His title is the Antichrist and his number is 666. I personally do not believe that it will be possible to identify who this person is until a 7 year peace treaty is signed between Israel and presumably the Arab Nations. The word 'Anti' is Greek and not only means 'in opposition to' but also means 'in place of'. So by his very nature he will be against God, but will see himself as a god or savior of humanity.

I found myself wondering about the Bible passage describing people saying "Peace, peace" … wondering if that might be translated as "Islam, Islam" since the meaning of 'Islam' is 'peace'.

The Koran mandates the muslims "fight against those who believe not in Allah" who refuse to accept what Allah or Mohammed taught, even if they are the People of the Book, who are essentially the Christians and the Jews, until they pay a tax in acknowledgment of the superiority of Islam and until they are in a state of subjection.

From the Koran 009.030 :

"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!"

There can never be true amity between the world's 3 major religions. Judaism and Christianity will eventually be reconciled when the Jews look upon the One who they pierced and weep in acknowledgment of their error. What will happen to the third religion, Islam? While it is true that Islam is currenlty the fastest growing religion in the world, it's destiny can only be to cease to be, to not even be a memory in His story.

Some Facts about Israel

July 4, 2006 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Some Facts about IsraelSo the BIG question is whether Syria will feel threatened enough or justfied enough by Israel’s deeper incursion into Lebanon to directly attack Israel. So far, Syria has been using the terrorist organization called Hezbollah as their instrument of harm against Israel. It still ceases to amaze me how the world press reports that Israel’s response is overblown. What other county would tolerate being the target of terrorist rockets from across their border year after year? I’ve always been surprised at Israel’s patience in not being more proactive in their response towards the daily attacks of their enemies. Well it looks like their patience has run out… so far over 300 have died in Lebanon and 29 in Israel. If Syria, or for that matter Iran, becomes directly involved in this conflict then there will be little doubt that the tiny little country of Israel will have no choice but to resort to the use of nuclear weapons to assure her survival. Then the prophecy of Damascus, Syria being utterly destroyed will finally be fulfilled (Isaiah 17:1) . The temperature is rising, it’s getting hotter everywhere.

SOME FACTS ABOUT ISRAEL

  1. ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1312 B.C., TWO MILLENNIA BEFORE ISLAM;
  2. ARAB REFUGEES FROM ISRAEL BEGAN CALLING THEMSELVES “PALESTINIANS” IN 1967, TWO DECADES AFTER (MODERN) ISRAELI STATEHOOD;
  3. AFTER CONQUERING THE LAND IN 1272 B.C., JEWS RULED IT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE THERE FOR 3,300 YEARS;
  4. FOR OVER 3,300 YEARS, JERUSALEM WAS THE JEWISH CAPITAL. IT WAS NEVER THE CAPITAL OF ANY ARAB OR MUSLIM ENTITY. EVEN UNDER JORDANIAN RULE, (EAST) JERUSALEM WAS NOT MADE THE CAPITAL, AND NO ARAB LEADER CAME TO VISIT IT;
  5. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, BUT NOT ONCE IS IT MENTIONED IN THE QUR’AN;
  6. KING DAVID FOUNDED JERUSALEM; MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN IT;
  7. JEWS PRAY FACING JERUSALEM; MUSLIMS FACE MECCA. IF THEY ARE BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES, MUSLIMS PRAY FACING MECCA, WITH THEIR BACKS TO JERUSALEM;
  8. IN 1948, ARAB LEADERS URGED THEIR PEOPLE TO LEAVE, PROMISING TO CLEANSE THE LAND OF JEWISH PRESENCE. 68% OF THEM FLED WITHOUT EVER SETTING EYES ON AN ISRAELI SOLDIER;
  9. VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION OF MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAD TO FLEE AS THE RESULT OF VIOLENCE AND POGROMS;
  10. SOME 630,000 ARABS LEFT ISRAEL IN 1948, WHILE CLOSE TO A MILLION JEWS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES;
  11. IN SPITE OF THE VAST TERRITORIES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, ARAB REFUGEES
    WERE DELIBERATELY PREVENTED FROM ASSIMILATING INTO THEIR HOST COUNTRIES.
    OF 100 MILLION REFUGEES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR 2, THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP
    TO HAVE NEVER INTEGRATED WITH THEIR CORELIGIONISTS. MOST OF THE JEWISH
    REFUGEES FROM EUROPE AND ARAB LANDS WERE SETTLED IN ISRAEL, A COUNTRY NO LARGER THAN NEW JERSEY
  12. THERE ARE 22 MUSLIM COUNTRIES, NOT COUNTING PALESTINE. THERE IS ONLY
    ONE JEWISH STATE. ARABS STARTED ALL FIVE WARS AGAINST ISRAEL, AND LOST
    EVERY ONE OF THEM;
  13. FATAH AND HAMAS CONSTITUTIONS STILL CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF
    ISRAEL. ISRAEL CEDED MOST OF THE WEST BANK AND ALL OF GAZA TO THE
    PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND EVEN PROVIDED IT WITH ARMS;
  14. DURING THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION, JEWISH HOLY SITES WERE VANDALIZED
    AND WERE OFF LIMITS TO JEWS. UNDER ISRAELI RULE, ALL MUSLIM AND
    CHRISTIAN HOLY SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FAITHS;
  15. OUT OF 175 UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS UP TO 1990,
    97 WERE AGAINST ISRAEL; OUT OF 690 GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS, 429
    WERE AGAINST ISRAEL;
  16. THE U.N. WAS SILENT WHEN THE JORDANIANS DESTROYED 58 SYNAGOGUES IN
    THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM. IT REMAINED SILENT WHILE JORDAN
    SYSTEMATICALLY DESECRATED THE ANCIENT JEWISH CEMETERY ON THE MOUNT OF
    OLIVES, AND IT REMAINED SILENT WHEN JORDAN ENFORCED APARTHEID LAWS
    PREVENTING JEWS FROM ACCESSING THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND WESTERN WALL.

THESE ARE TRYING TIMES. WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING,
AND WHAT WE WILL TELL OUR GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT OUR ACTIONS DURING THIS
CRISIS, WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

START NOW!  SEND THIS MESSAGE TO 20 FRIENDS, AND ASK EACH OF THEM TO SEND
IT TO 20 MORE.

JEWISH OR NOT, IT DOES NOT MATTER.  EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THE FACTS.

TRUTH AND PEACE ARE VALUES COMMON TO ALL OF US.

No Peace until Antichrist Reigns

June 12, 2003 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

The latest?

With the Iraq war over and elections less than a year and a half away the liberal media is already full swing into politicizing the news. For example, its only been a few months but President Bush is catching a lot of flak because no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq yet. So what!?! Who decided that a couple of months was enough time to search a country the size of California?

Appearances aren’t everything. As I understand it, just a week ago Ariel Sharon used the phrase ‘occupied territory’ in a speech about the latest peace efforts. He has never used that phrase before, is he giving in to the demands of the Palestinians? Probably not. The greater likelihood is that he knows that the Arab people are incapable of keeping any part of any agreement, so theres nothing to lose by speaking words which imply conceding any part of Israel’s birthright to those who support the homicide bombing of innocent civilians on buses.

Hal Lindsey very succinctly summarized the reason why a Peace Treaty can’t happen (until Antichrist makes it happen ) …

“For the Arabs to recognize Israel’s right to exist on land once conquered for Allah is tantamount to saying the Koran is wrong…

On the Israeli side, recognizing Arab sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount is a tacit admission the Bible was somehow incorrect in its references to Jerusalem as both the City of God and the City of David. “

Monkey Pox from prairie dogs is spreading in the US? Too early to tell how serious this might be, but it sure is ugly.

More later…
