Will the Tribulation begin on September 23, 2017 when we all see the constellation Virgo with the sun rise directly behind it? After all jupiter in the constellation enters the womb of Virgo and stays there for approximately 9.5 months.
Before I answer, let me remind about the responsibility of answering such a quest. Many were damned for misinterpreting prophecy. Jesus' second coming is similar to His first when God's people expected a Messiah to deliver them from Roman tyranny. This issue was Israel's bone of contention prophetically.
But God's wisdom disappointed the popular interpreters since the Messiah came to defeat sin. This disappointed most prophecy interpreters at the time causing them to reject Christ and opting for Bar Kochba's revolt against the Romans declaring Bar Kochba as Messiah. Israel missed their Messiah as a result and suffered tremendous defeat. Therefore, interpreting prophecy has serious consequences.
Prophecy was fulfilled nevertheless and the true Messiah still defeated the Romans from heavenly Mount Zion. It was only later that the Church Militant arose, composed of gentiles that first began to transform the Roman Empire and later conquered whatever was left from its tyranny and won the empire for Christ.
So first the pagans had to convert, address sin and salvation and join God's effort to conquer the works of the devil.
This plan to bring in the gentiles and deal with sin was etched in the Old Testament where few saw it. Nations (gentiles) burnt incense and partook in His grain offering from sunrise to sunset (Malachi 1:10-11). The few verses etched by the prophets should have sufficed for Israel to see, but pride stood in their way.
It will be the same when Christ comes again. Repentance would be necessary first before Christ intervenes militarily. This is clear in Zechariah and Joel where they will cry for the Messiah and He only shows up after repentance. How then could Christ come nine months after September 2017, especially that we see more decay sweeping the world?
It is always the case. Most miss the purpose of God by focusing on a bone of contention from pre-tribulation to blood moons. Many are consumed with certain issues as if their specific issue is the main problem of the world. You find them everywhere jumping from one bone of contention to another bone of contention.
I had noticed this as I wrote books exposing Islam in prophecy, so that if I wrote on the mark of the beast, being an Islamic symbol, the crowds would focus on Islam as their bone of contention and that Jesus' core purpose is the defeat of Islam.
I never have intended to infuse such an idea that the problem is exclusively Islam. Jesus, when He comes again, He will destroy all the manmade kingdoms of this world. This includes many bones of contention: religious freedom and the sacred bone we call democracy. Christ will establish a theocracy where He rules with a rod of iron.
While Armagaddon includes Islam, Jerusalem and the Middle East as the epicenter, this is by no means that we look at the world with tunnel vision. Nations that do not honor Christ will be on the side of Antichrist, while the nations that takes the side of Christ will be the Church Militant. This will take time to develop. All unrepentant sinners are God's enemies. These nations will not exclusively be Muslim. So many think that we are near the end and are already measuring a seven year tribulation. I never realized how many view prophecy with a tunnel vision.
Much has to happen to prepare the sheep nations to transform into the Church Militant. There is much needed refinement with fire and necessary persecution before anyone starts some countdown.
The Tribulation will not begin on September 23, 2017, when we all see the constellation Virgo with the sun rising directly behind it (the woman clothed with the sun) transpiring during the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima in 1917. Others (Evangelicals) are adding seven years and say that the end is on 2024. These are in error. If the Virgo stargazers date-setters are correct why then do they ignore the rest of the verses:
"Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns ... Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus."
And if the Virgo is established through stargazing, why not also apply the same method for the other sign: the red dragon with seven heads? Blood moons gets the blood color of the moon while it misses the sun going completely dark.
Is this how God works out prophecy?
I even still get daily hate messages from the Blood Moon grasshoppers who are still biting even till today like dogs on their bone of contention. These refuse to burry this bone regardless that their blood moons have come and gone without any serious tribulations or a crash in the stock market. The dates are past already.
My exposing this heresy even had World Net Daily attack my character for me saying that this prophecy will fail. Do you think they will issue an apology to all who purchased the demonic works of Blood Moons? Were monies sent back to poor puppies who simply purchased a meatless bone of contention?
The Shemitah was a poorly written book that contained a faulty Hebrew calendar, which was the main base for the claim. If one must follow such calendar then Christ would not be the Messiah. Even this did not matter for the bone hunting dogs.
This Red Dragon that is going after the woman might take decades to fully arise, so patience is necessary.
While we think Erdogan is a good candidate for Antichrist, he might not be the one. Keep in mind a woman with birth pangs delivers after the pain. The woman delivers in God's timing and not our date settings.
With Christianity, patience is a virtue. All had to wait for God to deliver the child and so must we; Abraham's wife Sarah, Hannah and Elkanah, the Shunammite Woman, Rachel, Manoah’s wife, Michal King Saul’s daughter, Elizabeth and Zechariah, Anna and Joachim.
I'd rather focus on names than date-setting. Joachim is really pronounced Yeho-Yaqim, which means the Lord makes straight. And just as it was prior to the Lord's first coming, John the Baptizer called on Israel to make straight the way. Indeed, no victory was accomplished until God's people made straight the way. All this must take time. This will not be in the next year or two.
What first must transpire is the beginning of sorrows and much refinement with fire where Europe must implode with violence and more fracturing. What scripture speaks about are times of sorrows. Therefore, prepare not for what the multitudes prepares for, but prepare for what Daniel the wise said and for what Christ warned to pay close attention to Daniel, that is, the greatest desecration of Christ's Body, the desecration of the “pure grain offering” (Daniel 9:27).
Christ said "when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel ..." It is then when tribulation begins. Nowhere in Scripture does it even state that the world endures a seven years of tribulation. This is true regardless of how many sophist books are crafted that finagle scripture verses like a gymnast making this issue a bone of contention. Beware of bones of contention.
Beware of fanciful books and slick calculations that take ten wisemen to debunk. Beware of crowds who tell you that a physical temple is about to be built this year or the next, for they have been speaking of red heifers to be born for decades saying 'its this year' and 'its next year'. The sacrifice of Christ is not a sacrifice of a cow. What utter abomination. Their minds are still stuck on animal sacrifices, a physical box Ark, and a golden menorah. These forget how God manifests and is glorified:
"My name will be great among the nations [gentiles], and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations [gentiles],” says the Lord of hosts." (Malachi 1:10-11)
If a church has no incense, run. And even Joel speaks of this being stopped just as Daniel does:
“The grain offering and the drink offering. Have been cut off from the house of the Lord; The priests mourn, who minister to the Lord … Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.” (Joel 1:9-15)
This is it. God ordained He be present in the Eucharist and now satan wants to abolish this presence. It is only then that the Day of the Lord is at hand. How can so many miss this?
Yet Lucifer will fail since God keeps a dedicated remnant who will continue this sacrament regardless of the persecution. His Church will continue even until the end. What the prophets were basically saying is that persecution will be so bad that church ordinances are abolished. This does not take a rocket scientists or an astronomy expert to figure out.
The whole purpose of evil is to switch this sacrifice. This is not the sole focus of only Islam, but the focus of all evil. We at Shoebat.com have never focused solely on Islam but on all evil.
Just as it was before Christ's first coming, the wise never focused solely on the tyrannical Roman Empire, but on all sin and all evil.
The devil always wants to introduce a strange offering. In For God or For Tyranny, years ago, we even explained, it all starts in the blood and with some strange offerings of blood attempting to dilute the true message of the Sacrifice. The devil's goal is to corrupt God's ordinance. Such attempts never stopped.
For example, Muhammad and his minions conducted themselves in the voodoo-like act of blood drinking in which “Malik ibn Sinan drank his [Muhammad’s] blood on the Day of Uhud and licked it up. The Prophet allowed him to do that and then said:
‘The [Hell] fire will not touch you.’” and “Abdullah ibn az Zubayr drank his cupped blood. The Prophet said, ‘Woe to you from the people and woe to the people from you.’ But he did not object to what he had done.”
Islam came solely to corrupt the message of Christ to denounce His blood for which from it we are healed. Instead, Islam came to focus on Muhammad's blood and the blood of terrorists that makes them martyrs and supposedly takes them to a sensual paradise. Islam therefore came to abolish the true sacrifice and to ordain a demonic sacrificial system, yet it failed to destroy the very Church that Christ promised "I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". The purpose of Islam therefore is to destroy the Church.
Abu Saad Al-Khodri who stated in a strong Hadith in Sharh Hayat al-Sahaba, regarding partaking in the blood of Muhammad:
“When, at the battle of Uhud, the helmet-rings had been taken out of the Prophet’s cheek, blood flowed from the radiant face of that Lord of the pure, and my father Malik Ibn Sinan sucked the wounds with his mouth, swallowing the blood. When they said to my father, ‘Malik, is blood to be drunk?’ my father replied, ‘Yes, the blood of the Prophet of Allah I drink like a beverage.’ At that time his Excellency, the Prophet, said, ‘Whoever wishes to see one who has mixed my blood with his own, let him look at Malik Ibn Sinan: any one whose blood touches mine, him the fire of hell shall not desire.’”
Bizarre and psychotic narrations like this are too many to quote. They speak of drinking even Muhammad’s urine and eating his excrement. Christians would ask, “Would such abominations be chosen over the precious blood of the sinless Lamb of God?” No Christian drinks literal blood. They partake in a mystical sacrifice.
On top of drinking Muhammad’s blood as a redemptive act they would also drink his urine. One woman consumed some of Muhammad’s urine and he told her:
“You will never complain of a stomach ache.” He did not order any of them to wash their mouths out nor did he forbid them to do it again."
This is no ancient practice. Today our youth are introduced to heavy metal music. Years ago, people were shocked at what they saw on the news, yet today bizarre incidents have become the usual. Years ago we wrote about Richard Valdemar, a former Los Angeles sheriff who has extensive experience with criminal gangs and the occult, wrote that many “Stoners” (later to evolve as MS-13) would ingest “blood and urine in occult ceremonies” and that one of these true metal music believers was Richard Ramirez, one of America’s most notorious serial killers.
We were shocked at this type of news. Yet these days we interviewed Valdemar and he speaks of major human sacrifices next door in Mexico. A whole hell is brewing across the border all with revived Mesoamerican human sacrifices and so few even pay attention:
Today, it is not only homosexuality that is an alternative lifestyle, but a vampire subculture which has stemmed largely from the goth subculture but also incorporates some elements of the sadomasochism subculture. This will continue and increase for years to come.
With the modern vampire movement, “eroticism has become so entwined with the contemporary vampire scene that popular vampire magazines, like Bloodstone, include previews of the latest vampire pornography, featuring combined acts of sex and blood-letting.”
This focus on sex and sexuality stems from vampire literature. In fact, sexual attraction was the most frequent response in a survey conducted among a group of 574 college and high school participants, where the participants were asked what they found most appealing about vampires and vampire literature. Their answer about vampires is that the students were fascinated with the sex.
Demonism has moved leaps and bounds since we wrote our old work in For God or For Tyranny. In the old days many thought that horror movies about vampires were simply 'movies'. Godly men warned not to watch. Few listened never to believe that movies will ever become a reality.
They were wrong.
Who ever dreamt years ago that today we could read the reputable Atlantic to reveal the "sanguinarians" who believe in draining psychic energy and now all this has become a reality:
In the two years I spent studying the vampires of New Orleans for my dissertation, I found that apart from their need for blood or its psychic equivalent, there were more genuine differences among them than commonalities. The people I met were equally men and women, ranging in age from 18 to 50. They were self-described atheists, monotheists, and polytheists; they were single, married, and divorced; and their sexual orientations were diverse. In fact, the only thing that truly united them all was the obvious exception to their otherwise “normal” existence: the impulse to take in blood or energy.
Some vampires, but not all, also choose to adopt the trappings of vampiric fashion, like Gothic dress and prosthetic fangs (some buy them stock, and others have custom acrylic dental prosthetics made from molds). These things are common, but they’re not at the core of the vampire identity—rather, they serve as external markers of the vampires’ internal state. Just as same-sex desire is distinct from the socio-cultural practices of the gay community, so being vampire is first a bodily need, then a set of personal and social practices for expressing it. In general, vampires keep the trappings of their vampirism hidden during the day—it’s rare for one to show up to work in the morning wearing fangs, for example. But, when the lights go down, when the shops close up for the night and the moon rises overhead, the fangs go in and the vampires come out.
Feeding is governed by The Donor Bill of Rights, a pact between donor and vampire to promote safety and well-being, both physical and social. Real vampires perform the blood-letting ritual only with willing donors—friends, family members, significant others, or members of donor networks—and usually only after both the vampire and the donor have their blood tested. Some vampires use sterile single-use thermoplastic medical tubing to extrude blood into small receptacles for drinking on the spot, or for later storage; others may use sterile blades to make small incisions on the donor, and drink directly from the wound before cleaning and bandaging it. The Bill of Rights also applies to psychic vampires, who must refrain from “feeding” unethically—that is, taking energy from donors without their knowledge and consent.
Real vampires do not always feed. They socialize as well, especially with others of their own kind. Older, more experienced vampires (known as “elders”) will often form “houses” or “covens” to counsel younger, less experienced vampires on how to live with their condition. For psychic vampires, this guidance may also include instruction on the various methods of feeding—“contact feeding” through physically touching the donor; “ambient feeding” by taking excess energy that is naturally generated in high-traffic public places; or even “tantric feeding” through sexual encounters.
It all started in 1970. The community grew in the 1990s, but real vampires still existed mostly in isolation or in small groups, relying on nearby fan conventions, low-circulation newsletters, and print correspondence. These even understand biblical theology “The blood is the life,” Dracula’s servant Renfield declared in Bram Stoker’s novel. But these days, in the UK alone we find 15,000 strong vampire community that declare their practice publicly, yet this phenomenon is spread worldwide.
THE DESECRATION OF HISTORY'S HOLIEST PLACES
Let me say it again; people holding on to a bone of contention tend to miss crucial events because they have a tunnel vision and they do not view the world as God does. The majority of Israel missed the Messiah for simply holding on one bone of contention, that Messiah comes to fight the single evil on their minds: Rome. These forget that Messiah came to fight all evil.
For example, I find so many amongst Middle Eastern Catholics and Middle Eastern Orthodox who see Palestinianism as a sacred bone of contention, since this ideology fights their un-sacred other bone: Zionism. To these, Zionism is their bone of contention. While these, just like Muslims, claim to believe in the Biblical patriarchs, they completely ignore Palestinian Muslims who desecrated the tombs of the Biblical Joshua, his father Nun, and Caleb ben Yefuneh in Israel. Even the very biblical patriarch, Joseph's Tomb, was desecrated and set ablaze with no qualm by the church.
Joseph's Tomb on fire
These grave sites, which Jewish pilgrims have visited for centuries, were reportedly smeared with animal and human feces and covered with garbage.
Last month we reported on this rare photo and asked anyone to show us if this photo ever circulated any news media. No one can show a single media exposing this:
It is the place where God rested His head as a babe in a manger. The test not only reveals the hypocrisy and baseless opinions (the two most abundant commodity of the damned wide gate) but it also shows how so many overlook the crucial signs of decay in the Church. Hypocrisy and baseless opinions surfaced in abundance when on April 2nd to May 10th, 2002, 200 Muslims who feared retribution for their terror acts, with machine-guns entered the very sanctuary where Christ was born. They converted parts of it into a mosque, defecated in other parts, destroyed holy relics and stole the golden ornaments and crucifixes and even held hostage the priests. Here is the very photo where Muslim terrorists converted the manger into a mosque and prayed in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem during the siege, yet the church said nothing. Can anyone deny this photo or show us where any media exposed this?
One can imagine, this is the place where God laid His head. But why did this photo not circulate? Again, it was to please a bone of contention: Palestiniansim. Yet we find no other abomination has ever been witnessed historically with such complete silence, especially from church authorities.
Yet even when I show such evil as this, I find many still ignore it, why? It is because many believe that exposing this adds more to what the Church hierarchy is already experiencing. These have an unhealthy love for the Church and forget that the Church was founded for the sheep and not the sheep for the Church. I find many who take authority to extreme, refusing to critique anything which brings in the question of responsibility. Today we have bishops who support the most reprobate of people while the good priests suffer much.
But a bone of contention can take us to hell. I find bones of contention planted heavily amongst the iconoclast. These have a specific focus on statues of saints while forgetting that it was during Nazi Germany, Nazis smeared excrement on church altars and church doors, desecrated shrines, and threw statues of saints into dung piles; when synagogues were not available to attack and loot, churches were targeted with Nazis yelling: “Down with Christians and Jews!”.
The Cathars and Albigensians hated Icons. They, like many today, rejected any idea of priesthood or the use of church buildings. They divided into "ordinary believers" and believed in reincarnation and refused to eat meat or other animal products. They largely regarded men and women as equals in church services, and had no doctrinal objection to contraception, euthanasia or suicide. These are not much different from the grasshopping heretics we see today. All this abomination began because these had a bone of contention about not eating meat whom Paul prophesied about. Yet Cathar and Albigensian reprobates today are considered 'martyrs' by the modern grasshopper.
Honing in exclusively on Islam as another bone of contention that has its negatives. Today we see that most counterjihad movements, especially in Europe, consider Islam as their only bone of contention. However, leftism, paganism, homosexuality, Islam and ultra-nationalism movements are all birds of a feather, regardless, even if these temporarily fight each other.
A supporter of the Greek ultra nationalist party Golden Dawn raises his fist during a pre-election rally in Athens on May 23, 2014.
And while they fight each other to gain a goal, all these in the end will consider Islam as a moral equal.
A Christian should not have one bone, but a multitude of bones of contention. The biblical rule is: all who sing the devil's symphony hate Christianity.
Therefore, how can a priest serve Christ, while he serves Islam or some weird Palestinian theological agenda? How can one be a priest while he loves Ukrainian ultra nationalism and hate Russians because these are Orthodox? How can a priest love Croatians while hating Serbs? How can a Christian hate Catholics or even hate Donald Trump, a claiming Protestant when he defends life in the womb and Catholics.
While hate always generates from one bone of contention, love also needs a balance. How can one call themselves Christian while they see the Cathars and the Albigensian as 'martyrs for Christ'? Can a Christian include a Muslim Jihadi on the list of saints and martyrs in heaven? No. While Palestinianism is a theological error, how can one love Israel to the point where they make Jerusalem turn into Sodom?
Therefore, beware not to chase after any dog with a bone of contention.
BEWARE OF WELL DRESSED DEVILS
Jesus did not warn us of the devil with a pitchfork, but warned most about the leaven and of wolves dressed up in sheep clothing. Take Abortion for example. It is just as bad as the Aztec human sacrifice. The only difference is that one has an outward display of evil, while the other had hid his/her evil under the facade of being a medical procedure. Savagery is not only an outward manifestation. With abortion continuing, do we think for a second that God views us any better than ISIS?
Today we are no different than the Cannibals with all the common rituals that we see in many pagan societies. A Christian has to be in tune with the Holy Spirit to see the world in God's eyes.
How is abortion any different from the Aztecs who are best known for their gruesome human sacrifices to various nourish gods such as Huitzilopoctli (The god of War) and Tlaloc (The god of Rain and Drought)?
Abortion is also done to please the demon of adultury and feminism while (like the Aztecs) claiming the woman suffers a financial drought, so she must declare war to aid her god, the environment, by killing the enemy of environmentalism and social darwinism: the human baby. Was Trump wrong when he described in his debate with Hillary how they rip apart a mature baby?
Is this not a human sacrifice? While many study prophecy few focus on what St. Catherine Emmerich predicted. Read carefully how she prophesied the ends of days:
"Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer."
While many will read this and only focus on their bone of contention, asking if she was speaking of this pope or of that pope, who will be the "destroying pastor," these ignore one remarkable prediction "Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it".
This alone is so remarkable and is a subject of books. What St. Emmerich is saying is unusual, that the very agencies who fight abortion (sanctity of life) live themselves in derision, because they too could care less about abortion and they even "outwardly profess it".
In other words, they have a form of caring, just as Christ says "they have a form of godliness". This means that anti-abortion advocates in reality will be pro-abortion advocates.
And we have seen this in full action. Why was it that the very pro-life movement got so angry at Donald Trump for simply saying that the woman who commits abortion should receive some sort of punishment?
For years we have known, not just about the corruption and the superficiality of the pro-life movement, but almost all of these agencies that claim to care for the suffering Christians do not really care. We were shocked to see how many fake movements are there while we are the only ones being accused of being "fake".
The pro-life movement has never succeeded in outrightly abolishing abortion, because it really isn't interested in making abortion illegal since once abortion is abolished the money is gone. The pro-life movement has really become the pro-life industry. How St. Emmerich predicted this is quite amazing.
According to the American Right To Life (ARTL), "An ARTL spreadsheet, compiled by a Michigan CPA volunteering for ARTL, documents that the pro-life industry raised more than a quarter of a billion dollars in it's 15-year effort to secure a "ban" that never had the ability to save a single child."
This pro-life industry includes the National Right to Life Committee, Concerned Women for America, and others such as Americans United for Life and Jay Sekulow's American Center for Law and Justice.
If abortion were to be outlawed, and those involved in abortions punished by the state, then for what reason would we need the pro-life movement, the marches for life, the funding to finance anti-abortion organizations? The money would be gone, the fat paycheck given to those who talk against abortion would be gone. So of course the "pro-life" elites would not want an absolute ban on abortion.
And if in doubt, just take a look at the recent controversy that just took place in Oklahoma with the bill, SB 1118. If passed, this bill would have treated abortion -— at any stage after conception -- a crime of first-degree murder. After all, it is what it is, first-degree murder.
The bill was not even given a chance for a hearing at the senate floor. Why? Because of the pro-life industry elitists, such as the National Right to Life, Oklahomans For Life, and most of all of the Republican senators in Oklahoma, who all opposed the bill. Only 11 of Oklahoma's 39 senators supported the bill and many of them had "100% pro-life voting records from the pro-life and pro-family groups."
Pro-life elitists like Tony Lauinger, vice-president of National Right to Life and the chairman for Oklahomans for Life, opposed SD 1118, giving the typical hypocritical response of, “do we want to make a statement, or do we want to make a difference?”
When Donald Trump said that women who commit abortions should get some form of punishment, all of the abortion industry elitists condemned him. March for Life, Students for Life, Concerned Women for America, and Susan B. Anthony List, all went against Donald Trump.
All of these organization condemned him for simply saying that a woman who commits an abortion should be punished. Why do they take this position? Because they really don't believe that abortion is murder, they really don't believe that an unborn child is a human being. Plain and simple. If abortion is murder, then both the mother who wants the abortion and the one who commits the abortion are to be prosecuted and charged with first-degree murder. End of story.
Therefore, Aztec behavior is not ancient history, there is the devil and then there is his enabler. How could one support Palestinianism, especially when such acts of savagery are not only contained in the annals of ancient history? Years ago it was a shocker when in Ramallah, two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Palestinian crowds who commenced to dismember and disembowel the soldiers’ corpses, passing the entrails on a platter to a hysterical mob numbering in the thousands who rejoiced as they literally chewed and swallowed the remains because of their hated Jews.
Crowds in the Palestinian capital Ramallah consume human flesh
This was no small private cult. It happened at a state capital.
To see evil for what it is 'in God's eyes' takes a keen soul and a contrite heart and once you do, the world becomes foreign to you. How could so-called men of God equate Islam with Christianity?
Even the Muslim hymnals are bizarre. One cannot enter the world of Islam without being accustomed to Nasheed, a rhythmic poetry that is sung without musical instruments which are totally prohibited in Islam. You would never hear musical instruments played in a mosque. Muhammad proclaimed musicians to be of the people dwelling in hell. Nasheed is much different than anything the Judeo-Christian world is accustomed to. To give a taste, perhaps I can share a part from a jihadist favorite titled swarem (sword):
We are those who built our forts Out of the skulls
Which we brought from the land of the tyrant
By force and on top of the booty
Our Messenger is the one who made us Noble builders of glory
Our Messenger is the sun of truth Who lit the face of the world.
Does that sound like anything that is the norm in Church? Why then do we find pastors and priests equating Islam with Christianity?
Just imagine in a decade or two from now, when we see all the ancient religions revive to their peek, from the pagan Nazism, to ancient Mesoamerican practices in Mexico, and to Islam in Asia and Africa. Imagine when all these have gone wild and go on steroids. Do you ever wonder why God said that He intervenes lest no flesh is saved?
But to Islam, building forts out of skulls is not a metaphor or hyperbole or is simply a hymn. Muslims literally built mounds (forts) out of human skulls. A wake-up call would be to study the Memoirs of Baburnama of the Mughal Empire. And where is this explained in today's TV documentaries on the History Channel? The History Channel these days turned into myth. How can one imagine the tens of millions (not thousands) who were killed during Islam’s invasions of India and decapitated heads were piled as trophies.
All this was meant to desecrate God's image. With Islam, you can forget Nero or Caligula. Dr. Younis Shaikh, in a Study on Islam and Women notes that millions of women were raped. Sexual violence occurred on a gory and unimaginable scale; it was standard practice for Islamic warlords like Ghori and Ghazni to unleash the mass rape and enslavement of hundreds of thousands of women after the slaughter of all males.
And where are the documentaries about the Indonesian Islamic army mass murdering 200,000 Catholic East Timurian before East Timur got its independence? Pakistan’s army invaded her province of East Pakistan in 1971, killing hundreds of thousands of Bengali Muslims and non-Muslims. Half a million women were raped in an attempt to create a half-breed loyal to Islam. So where are the women rights movement? Therefore, just as pro-life is not about pro-life, women rights is not about women rights.
Nothing is new under the sun, evil will always attempt to revive and ISIS is nothing new. We are simply seeing what our fathers witnessed. No one should forget 1842 when the Afghani Muslims overtook the British garrison in Kabul and beheaded over 2,000 men, women, and children. The heads were placed on sticks around the city as decorations. Not even ISIS had such a kill-fest.
Americans simply are unaware because the victims were distant. The practice continued during the 1980s, in Afghanistan, where an estimated 3,000 Soviet troops were beheaded by the Afghani Mujahideen all with the help of the U.S. arming the Muslims. But who will expose this, especially since it was Ronald Reagan (a conservative favorite) who aided the Mujahideen. Never trust in man. He will always fail you.
So when we read "and I saw the martyrs who were beheaded in the name of Jesus", this will amplify. We can forget ISIS and the French Guillotine. What is coming is much worse and is why I keep repeating, its not the time of the end, yet. What we see is the spark of the beginning of sorrows:
For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)
A beginning of sorrows has an end of sorrows (this is a time span) and this will take a while, even perhaps a few decades.
Tyrants being painted as heroes and heroes as tyrants will increase. Today history revisionists portray Muslim tyrants as messiahs; Al-Dhaher Baybars (1260-1277) was depicted as a “worthy successor to Saladin.” His image was built up as “the ideal Mujahid” and “the real hero of Islamic re-conquest of Frankish lands.”
When Baybars took Antioch from the Crusaders, he was annoyed to find that Count Bohemond VI had already left. He wrote to Bohemond, describing what his men did in Antioch:
“You would have seen your knights prostrate beneath the horses’ hooves, your houses stormed by pillagers and ransacked by looters, your wealth weighed by the quintal, your women sold four at a time and bought for a dinar of your own money!...You would have seen your Muslim enemy trampling on the place where you celebrate the Mass, cutting the throats of monks, priests and deacons upon the altars, bringing sudden death to the Patriarchs and slavery to the royal princes.”
Prophecy repeats itself. Savagery in the world never ended even after the advent of Christianity. Yet today heroes are portrayed as villains while cannibals like the Aztecs are portrayed as a "civilization". Mexico would not have gotten to where it is today without the coming of Christianity by the Spanish Christians. Bernal Diaz Del Castillo, the 16th century adventurer and conquistador, wrote in his book The Truthful History of the Conquest of New Spain about how he witnessed the eating of “human meat, just like we take cows from the butcher’s shops, and they have in all towns thick wooden jail-houses, like cages, and in them they put many Indian men, women and boys to fatten, and being fattened they sacrificed and ate them.” In his History of Tlaxcala, Diego Munoz Camargo writes: “Thus there were public butcher shops of human flesh, as if it were of cow or sheep”.
The Aztecs would have their victims laid on a sacrificial block, their chests were cut open, and each prisoner’s heart was torn out while he was still alive. According to Richard Townsend, “Streams of blood [from the many sacrificed victims] poured down the stairways and sides of the monument [pyramid], forming huge pools on the white stucco pavement.” The heads of the victims were commonly “strung up on the skull rack as public trophies, while the captor-warriors were presented with a severed arm or thigh.” With great rejoicing, the severed body parts were taken home, where they were made into stew for special Aztec meals. The eating of human flesh was a ceremonial form of cannibalism with no difference between these demonic rituals and Jeffery Dahmer or the gruesome murders that are happening in the Muslim world and in Mexico today.
Commentating on Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto, Craig Childs writes: “Indeed, parts of the archaeological record of the Americas read like a war-crimes indictment, with charred skeletons stacked like cord-wood and innumerable human remains missing heads, legs and arms. In the American Southwest, which is my area of research, human tissue has been found cooked to the insides of kitchen jars and stained into a ceramic serving ladle. A grinding stone was found full of crushed human finger bones. A sample of human feces came up containing the remains of a cannibal’s meal.”
Evil begins when the conquistadors are hated for championing Christianity over the idols of the Mesoamericans. Hernando Cortes described these pagan rituals as “the most terrible and frightful thing [he and his men] have ever witnessed.” The Aztecs ate captured conquistadors with a sauce of peppers and tomatoes. They “sacrificed all our men in this way, eating their legs and arms, offering their hearts and blood to their idol”.
Witnessing these acts, Cortes, according to Castillo, made it his purpose to put “a stop to human sacrifices, injustices, and idolatrous worship."
Therefore, does it make sense to hate Cortes?
It will also be the image of God that is desecrated by Antichrist, His Eucharist (Daniel 9:27), His tabernacles, His carved works (Psalm 74:6), His icons, His altars ...
Christ said that we shall know them by their fruit and not by their proclamation of Christ as Lord. Why else does He warn that in judgment they come to him saying 'Lord Lord, we ...."?
Even proclaiming Christ as Lord, could be a bone of contention. To say "its all about Jesus" is another bone of contention, since it is what Jesus is all about that counts. What was the fruits of the Cathars? Yet the defenders of the Cathars claim to proclaim Christ. Heck, even the Cathars too proclaimed Christ. Does it then take a rocket scientist to comprehend what Christ meant when He said:
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:22-23)
Many ask "is it me Lord"? Am I this Judas?
They search their hearts reading gymnastically written essays trying to figure out the verses, when the key verse to unlock their question is in front of their eyes, yet they are unable to see it because their hearts are sealed.
The key is "you that work iniquity". In other words, Christ does not care if your bone of contention is Bible prophesy, or that your other bone of contention is exorcism or even that you say "Jesus Jesus Jesus" and "its all about Jesus".
What He cares about are your works. In the verse, Christ condemns their evil works. Therefore, He is calling for good works as evidence for their faith. Are these works "holy" or are they of "iniquity and falsehood"? How can one call themselves Christians and say that works are nothing, or say that the Cathars were 'Christian', or deny that Christ can transform the bread into His Body?
These "have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof" (1 Timothy 3:5). They deny that He can transform the bread into His Body (deny the power thereof). They are like the Cathars.
These can't tell they are this 'Judas' but can only cringe at what I wrote here because they are the very workers of iniquity. These always have a bone of contention, repeating a false mantra "its not about works".
They live like dogs who swallow their own vomit. They carry a bone of divisiveness, a bone of arguing about why "its not about works" while they forget that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil:
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)
How can one destroy works without works? It is impossible. This is the spirit of the lazy servant. "He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning".
Christ's whole purpose of coming is to destroy sin so that we stop committing sin. No one can stop sinning without continual confession and without continual Communion. No one. Therefore, do not be fooled:
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers: Nor the effeminate [gays] nor liers with mankind [gays] nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God. And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 9-11)
Therefore, repent of your evil and wicked ways and begin to worry more about preparing your soul, before you start worrying about the end of the world. Repenting is how one becomes "sanctified" and "justified" in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
