Major Christian Bishop In Iraq Declares 'The West Cares More About Frogs Than It Does For Us Christians'

<p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/metropolitansnicodemussharaf.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110183" height="200" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/metropolitansnicodemussharaf-300x200.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/metropolitansnicodemussharaf-300x200.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/metropolitansnicodemussharaf.jpg 682w" width="300" /></a></p><p>Just a decade ago, over a million Christians resided in Syria and Iraq. Now thanks to the wars in those nations and the rise of ISIS, almost all of them have been displaced or slaughtered. The few remaining survivors of the hell that ISIS brought are barely staying alive, relying entirely on help from the good will of Christians. In the meanwhile, the governments of the West have done little to nothing to help the people, instead standing by idly as these people died or in some cases even helping ISIS carry out their massacres.</p><p>In a recent interview with the Bishop of Mosul for the Syriac Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Nicodemus Sharaf, he told the National Catholic Register that the West has done nothing to help the Christians there. Drawing on an example from when a fellow Iraqi Christian immigrant to Australia was forced to completely redraw construction plans he had because of a conservation law for a certain species of frogs, he said the West gives more protection and help to animals like it frogs than it does to the Christians of Iraq, noting that as we have said, most Christians do not want to stay in Iraq because they are afraid that ISIS will return to finish off what little remains:</p><blockquote><p><em>So you hold the U.S. ultimately responsible?</em></p><p>Yes, they’re responsible, and those who helped America, for destroying our life, destroying our country. They should rebuild our country if they believe in human rights. I don’t believe in these two words, there are no human rights. But in Western countries, there are animal rights. In Australia they take care of frogs. One of our Syriac citizens, who’s a builder, bought land, took money from a bank and wanted to build houses and sell them. Then when he wanted to get a certificate to build, in the middle of the land, he came across a hole with eight frogs in it. The government of Sydney told him: “You can’t build on this land.” He said: “But I’ve taken money from the bank and I must get to work” and they pushed him to build in another place, making him pay $1.4 million to build a different place for these eight frogs. And yet we are the last people who speak Jesus’ language. We are Aramaic people and we don’t have this right to have anyone protect us? Look upon us as frogs, we’ll accept that — just protect us so we can stay in our land.</p><p>...</p><p><em>How does the current situation in Iraq now compare to how it was in the 1990s, 1980s, especially the relationship with Muslims? Why and how has it changed?<br /></em><br />We’ve had the problem with the Muslims for 1,400 years, not from now. This is the truth but we don’t say it as we want to live in peace. ISIS came to Mosul in 2014 but we experienced [Islamism] in Mosul four times before ISIS, from 2003 to 2014. ISIS is the fifth wave because in 2005 they said in mosques in Mosul, in the neighborhoods: “Don’t buy the Christian houses, you’ll get them for free.” That was 2005. Muslims’ faith tell them that everything belonging to a non-Muslim is free for you: his money, his dignity, his women, anything. It’s free for them, and it’s their right, because they are not Muslim. This is their faith. God told them that.</p><p><em>How come they didn’t seem to believe this before 2003?</em></p><p>Because of the law. We can live with evil if there is law, to control the place. At the time of Saddam, it was a time of dictator, a big dictator, but there was law, there was the police, there was the army. Anyone who did anything to hurt you, you could call 104, the police, and they came immediately. After Saddam the dictator, it was the time of democracy. If we called this number, if anyone answered, he’d say: “Look after yourself.” So we can’t live with Muslims. How can we do it? With law, society, police. This is the problem. There should be strong government in Baghdad, to have law. Without it we can’t live with anyone, because, as Christians, we’re not educated in fighting, but other are. If they don’t see anyone to fight with, they fight with themselves, Sunni, Shia. This is their problem, and we don’t have this education. So we need law, and if there’s law we can live with anyone. We live here in peace in Erbil in Kurdistan because there’s strong government, there’s law, to protect us.

Muslims Attack Christian Man In Australia, Rip His Cross Off And Stomp On It While Screaming 'F**k Jesus'

With the rise in Muslim immigrants to the West, the anti-Christian violence of Islam is becoming more obvious.</p><p>In a case in Australia, a Greek Orthodox Christian man was minding his own business when four Muslims approached and attacked him. They ripped off his crucifix and began violently stomping on it while screaming 'F**k Jesus' and 'Allah':</p><blockquote><p>One Greek community leader, Rev George Capsis, has gone so far as to warn Christians not to wear overt religious symbols when they are travelling though Muslim enclaves of southwestern Sydney.</p><p>But last Tuesday afternoon, 30-year-old Greek Orthodox Christian, Mike, discovered too late the risks of wearing a large cross outside his clothing while travelling on the train from Campsie to Bankstown with his girlfriend.</p><p>He says he was minding his own business talking on his mobile phone, when four young men of Middle Eastern appearance allegedly violently ripped the crucifix off his neck, and stomped on it while swearing “F*** Jesus” and referring to “Allah”.</p><p>He says they punched him and kicked him in his face, back and shoulders during the attack which began about 3pm, just after the train left Belmore station.</p><p>When his girlfriend tried to defend him, two Arabic-speaking women also allegedly hit and kicked her.<br />The crucifix, which his mother had given him, was bent, and the silver chain broken in two places.</p><p>“I was born in Australia of Greek heritage,” says Mike. “I’ve always worn my cross. For him to rip it off and step on it has to be a religious crime... It’s not on to feel unsafe in your own country.”</p><p>He says the men also destroyed his Ray-Ban sunglasses.</p><p>Mike has a doctor’s report cataloguing his injuries, which include abrasions and bruises on his face, left shoulder, and upper and lower back.</p><p>He claims that five uniformed railway “Transport Officers” watched the attack and did nothing to help him, although police were waiting for the train when it reached Bankstown station.</p><p>Two police officers took the names of three alleged assailants and a statement from Mike, photographed his injuries, told him they would review CCTV footage from the train and that he should expect a letter in a month, which may require his attendance at court.</p><p>After the assault, Mike was so shaken up that he contacted Baptist minister Rev Capsis, a pillar of the local Greek community, and former deputy mayor of Sutherland Shire Council.</p><p>Capsis claims Mike is the fourth Christian who has complained to him of a religiously-motivated attack in the past six months.</p><p>“This is not an isolated incident. There are gangs of these young fellows of Muslim background who have been harassing people they identify as Christian… You don’t hear about it because no one’s reporting it.”</p><p>The other three attacks Capsis says have occurred around public transport in southwest Sydney: “It’s like their territory; they don’t want Christians or other types of infidels there…</p><p>“People like Greek Orthodox carry a big cross. I tell them to be practical and if they’re in those areas and wearing a big cross and a group of young guys comes, hide it in your shirt. Why provoke it?</p><p>“If this keeps up, someone will be hurt. It’s got to be nipped in the bud.”</p><p>After our media inquiries, police contacted Mike and reinterviewed him yesterday.</p><p>A spokeswoman confirmed that detectives from Bankstown Local Area Command are investigating “reports of alleged religiously-motivated abuse on a Sydney train this week”.<br />“The incident has prompted police to remind the community that any bias-motivated crime will not be tolerated.”<br />Sydney Trains yesterday defended the inaction of its Transport Officers, with a spokesman saying they are not authorised to intervene in assaults and their primary responsibilities are customer service and fare evasion.<br />If an incident takes place, such as the attack on Mike, they are trained to stand back in a “safe space” to observe, and contact police, if necessary.<br />He confirmed that Transport Officers conducting operations on a train between Campsie and Bankstown stations on April 4 “requested Police assistance in response to a physical altercation between two groups of people”.<br />(<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/we-rush-to-condemn-islamophobia-what-about-antichristian-attacks/news-story/2bb6f9a158146e963355a6da3adbe70a">source</a>)</p></blockquote>

God Bless Russia! Russia is defending Christendom against heretical cults and is affirming Orthodoxy

<p>For awhile now, Russia has constantly been having problems with heretical cults, whether they are local or imported from USA. Thankfully, Russia is very strong in affirming her stance against cults and is reaffirming her Orthodox Faith that built Russia many centuries ago from the time of St. Olga and St. Prince Vladimir, who subsequently had the whole nation baptized into the Faith of the Apostles and Saints. As has always been the case, Satan always seeks to undo the good work of Christ through various evil doctrines and parties, be it Islam via invasion from both Mongol and Turkish hordes, or whether it be the godless atheistic doctrines of Marx, Engels, Bakunin and Lenin that brought forth Communism in Russia for 8 decades. Whilst the Church has always triumphed against these external threats, there is a more subtle threat that has been used by Satan and his devils to attack the Church. It is through pseudo-Christian cults, whether it is imported from USA such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Scientology, etc. or some more local cults that aim to target Orthodox Christians in particular, such as the Vissarion cult and others such as the so called "True Orthodox Church", etc. In the face of all this, our Lord Jesus Christ promised St. Peter and the rest of the Apostolic Church: "<em>And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.</em>" (Matthew 16:18)</p><p>Of late, there has not only been a resurgence of these heretical cults and sects, but in particular, the Watchtower Society from USA, better known to many as Jehovah's Witnesses, has been a peculiar thorn in the side for Russia. It not only forbids their followers from performing in military service as well as partaking in government, but also denied medical blood transfusions to their children in cases of medical emergency and not to mention their ban placed on their followers from observing birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc. But worst of all above all else, are their heretical doctrines that deny the Holy Trinity, deny everlasting reward and everlasting damnation along with a whole range of heresies, which I shall post at the end. In addition, should anyone disagree in the slightest with the leaders or teachings in the Watchtower Society, they are automatically "disfellowshipped" which not only means being cast out of the congregation, but also any family members that are part of it are forbidden to have anything to do with them. It is just as bad as the Islamic consequences for being a "murtad" or apostate from Islam, whereby everyone is commanded to turn against you even kill you. I have encountered many horror stories with people who were disfellowshipped by the Watchtower Society and some even received death threats too! Is it no wonder that Russia is now intent on having stronger laws against "cults" and various heretical groups that claim to be Christian? They are equally as dangerous as Islam and in fact, Russia has also been stringent in dealing with Muslim terrorists and their sympathisers too.</p><p>Russia has rightly assessed through her Ministry of Justice, that not only is this cult "extremist" on account of their practices of denying their followers medical blood transfusions in emergencies as well as other practices already mentioned, but also for their literature, that is not only heretical, but constantly promotes hatred towards other genuine Christian churches, particularly Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. The fullness of the article with more details in question can be found here:</p><p>"Russia court considers Jehovah's Witnesses ban"<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39500648?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook"> http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39500648?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook</a></p><p>In addition, they have experienced numerous bans in 1991 (Soviet period ending), in 2004 and in other times, often because of their attacks on Orthodoxy as well as their debilitating practices. The worst part is that a number of "Evangelicals" in USA and even to a lesser extent in Russia, have been expressing sympathy towards these heretics as found in Christianity Today (the most left-wing magazine amongst American Evangelicals). Although the Russian government acknowledges the Baptists and Evangelicals officially amongst the 5 religious groups protected by the law, yet some Russian Evangelicals are seeking to side with these heretics despite the obvious consequences of bringing heresy and damnation on Russia. Can we honestly blame Russia for having an "anti-missionary" law based on this? Here is the pathetic article from Christianity Today:</p><p>"Russia's Ban on Jehovah's Witnesses Puts Evangelicals in a Tight Spot" <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2017/march/russia-liquidate-jehovahs-witnesses-evangelicals.html">http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2017/march/russia-liquidate-jehovahs-witnesses-evangelicals.html</a></p><p>Thankfully, Russia's law on cults also covers the Hare Krishna sect too. It is obvious that Hinduism is dark and evil, but a sect such as the Hare Krishna has also been known for abuse of their followers not to mention their evil doctrines, that even mainstream Hinduism does not consider them authentic! I will leave a video later. But may I point out that, Russia has also included yoga and even the Japanese cult of Aum Shinrikyo, which was responsible for subway attacks in Japan in 1995, on the list of banned cults. May God bless Russia and show us in Western Christian Churches what should be done about the cults.</p><p>Here are some articles confirming the above:</p><p>"Officials in Central Russia Have Banned Yoga Because They Think It's an Evil Cult"  by Joanna Plucinska <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://time.com/3942725/russian-yoga-ban-religious-cults-nizhnevartovsk/">http://time.com/3942725/russian-yoga-ban-religious-cults-nizhnevartovsk/</a></p><p>"Russia's High Court Bans Japanese Doomsday Cult Group" <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rferl.org/a/russia-court-bans-japanese-doomsday-cult-group/28002879.html">http://www.rferl.org/a/russia-court-bans-japanese-doomsday-cult-group/28002879.html</a></p><p>In 2008, Hare Krishna sect was opposed strongly by Orthodox Christians in Moscow.

But since the early Christians and the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Church fathers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_fathers">Church fathers</a> quoted from this book, therefore its apocalyptic content is worth the study. Due to its <a title="Apocalypticism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypticism">apocalyptic</a> content, the book also has been called <i><a title="2 Esdras" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras">Esdras the Prophet</a></i>, <i><a title="2 Esdras" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras">Apocalyptic Esdras</a></i> or <i><a title="2 Esdras" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras">Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra</a></i>. Because the most complete extant text is in Latin, the book is also called <i><a title="2 Esdras" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras">Latin Esdras</a></i>. There have been four books associated with the prophet Ezra (also spelled Esdras). In some circles these became known as 1, 2, 3, and 4 Esdras. In other circles, the first two of these (1 and 2 Esdras) became known as Ezra and Nehemiah, while the second two (3 and 4 Esdras) became known as 1 and 2 Esdras.</p><p>The first two of the four books belong in the Bible and are accepted by both Catholics and Protestants as canonical. In older Catholic Bibles they were called 1 and 2 Esdras, but now they are more commonly called Ezra and Nehemiah. The second two of the four books (sometimes known as 3 and 4 Esdras, sometimes known as 1 and 2 Esdras) do not belong in the Bible and are not accepted by either Catholics or Protestants. However, they were studied by early Christians as well as church fathers. What we will delve into here seem to agree with Scriptures.</p><p>Regarding the apocalypse, 2 Esdras begins with the Tribulation:</p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>The beginning of sorrows, when there shall be much lamentation; the beginning of famine, when many shall perish; the beginning of wars, when the powers shall be terrified; the beginning of calamities, when all shall tremble. What shall they do, when the calamities come?  (<i>2 Esdras 16:18)</i></p></blockquote><p>Jesus also mentions the signs of His coming again:</p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><p><span id="en-NRSVA-37104" class="text 2Esd-16-19">Famine and plague, tribulation and anguish are sent as scourges for the correction of humankind.  (<i>2 Esdras 16:19)</i></span></p></blockquote><p>Jesus also quoted this in Matthew 24, "<span id="en-NKJV-23965" class="text Matt-24-7"><span class="woj">And there will be famines, pestilences, </span><span class="woj">and earthquakes in various places," (Matthew 24:7).  </span></span></p><p><span id="en-NKJV-23965" class="text Matt-24-7"><span class="woj">So the purpose of the tribulation is not to punish the righteous, but the sinners.  St. Paul in Romans 5 revealed:</span></span></p><blockquote><p><span id="en-NKJV-23965" class="text Matt-24-7"><span class="woj"> "[...] we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope[...]" (Romans 5:3-4). </span></span></p></blockquote><p><span id="en-NKJV-23965" class="text Matt-24-7"><span class="woj">Esdras reflects the same issue:</span></span></p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><p><span id="en-NKJV-23965" class="text Matt-24-7"><span class="woj"> Y</span></span><span id="en-NRSVA-37105" class="text 2Esd-16-20">et for all this they will not turn from their iniquities, or ever be mindful of the scourges. </span><span id="en-NRSVA-37106" class="text 2Esd-16-21"> Indeed, provisions will be so cheap upon earth that people will imagine that peace is assured for them, <em><strong>and then calamities shall spring up on the earth</strong></em>—<em><strong>the sword</strong></em>, <em><strong>famine</strong></em>, and <em><strong>great confusion</strong></em>.  <i>2 Esdras 15:20-21</i></span></p></blockquote><p>The parallel between this passage and the Apocalypse is strikingly similar:</p><blockquote><p>"The rest of humankind, who were not killed by <em><strong>these plagues</strong></em>, <em><strong>did not repent</strong></em> of the works of their hands or give up <em><strong>worshipping demons</strong></em> and <em><strong>idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood</strong></em>, which cannot see or hear or walk.  And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their fornication or their thefts" (Revelation 9:20-21).</p></blockquote><p>And today, the world plunges in unbelief. When we think of the Muslim east, we ignore that even in the West, many set up idols of "gold and silver and bronze" just as scriptures reveal.</p><p class="verse"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ps-copy.jpg"><img alt="ps-copy" class=" wp-image-107278 aligncenter" height="231" sizes="(max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ps-copy-300x133.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ps-copy-300x133.jpg 300x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ps-copy-768x341.jpg 768x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ps-copy-1024x455.jpg 1024x" width="521" /></a></p><div id="attachment_107276" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><div id="attachment_107276" style="width: 278px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b.jpg"><img alt="4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b" class="wp-image-107276" height="268" sizes="(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b-300x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b-300x300.jpg 300x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b-150x150.jpg 150x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4d3c7679777a802fc49c20b23fddab3b.jpg 564x" width="268" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Kolowrat (Kolovrat, Collowrath) symbol is in modern ages considered as a panslavic symbol</p></div></div><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3.jpg"><img alt="slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3" class=" wp-image-107277 aligncenter" height="258" sizes="(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3-264x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3-264x300.jpg 264x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3-768x874.jpg 768x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3-900x1024.jpg 900x, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slavic-greybeard-kolovrat_3.jpg 1100x" width="227" /></a></p><p>It is not just Islam but <em>idol worship</em> is re-arizing in many areas where Christendom ruled in the past.</p><p>The fallen-away Christians are naive.

Every day that passes by is getting us closer to that point when paganism prevailed much of the western world. Today the rise of neopaganism reveals a disturbing trend becoming the fastest growing religion globally and is also virulently antisemitic. Besides over one billion Muslims with growing anti-semitism (Islam has pagan residues from pre-Islam’s Arabia), today we have an array of movements that labels itself “conservative” when in fact these are neopagan.</p><div class="inline-content inline-photo inline-photo-normal modal-0 horizontal-photo"><p>Today we have Slavic neopaganism, pantheists and polytheist theology, a focus on Slavic culture and folklore, and the worship of Slavic deities.

We should not fear. We should make every effort to live rightfully before the eyes of God:</p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>He formed human beings and put a heart in the midst of each body, and gave each person breath and life and understanding and the spirit of Almighty God, who surely made all things and searches out hidden things in hidden places.  He knows your imaginations and what you think in your hearts!  <em><strong>Woe to those who sin and want to hide their sins! </strong></em> The Lord will strictly examine all their works, and will make a public spectacle of all of you.  <em><strong>You shall be put to shame</strong></em> when your sins come out before others, and <em><strong>your own iniquities shall stand as your accusers on that day</strong></em>.  What will you do?  Or how will you hide your sins before the Lord and his glory?  Indeed, God is the judge; fear him!  Cease from your sins, and forget your iniquities, <em><strong>never to commit them again</strong></em>; so God will lead you forth and deliver you from all tribulation.  <i>2 Esdras 16:61-67</i></p></blockquote><p>Yet many keep sinning the same sins believing that since Jesus died on the cross that they are immune.

Christ also spoke of Pergamum in Asia Minor as the seat of satan.</p><p>And so now we know why the Apocalypse mentions Asia:<em> </em>"John to the seven churches that are in Asia," (Revelation 1:4), and Jesus instructed John to write to the seven churches that are located in today Turkey, "Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea," (Revelation 1:11).</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/location-of-seven-churches-of-book-of-revelation1.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-110129" height="369" sizes="(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/location-of-seven-churches-of-book-of-revelation1.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/location-of-seven-churches-of-book-of-revelation1.jpg 320w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/location-of-seven-churches-of-book-of-revelation1-300x263.jpg 300w" width="420" /></a></p><p>This was the center of Christianity now turned apostate Muslim. Without Ezekiel, Christ's reference to Pergamum, Esdras ... these all confirm which geographic location did the prophets foretell as to where is Antichrist's center.</p><p>Therefore, there should be no doubt to understand what God intended for the Apocalyptical vision seen by John to pinpoint the exact location where the kingdom of the Antichrist will come from. It is where the seven churches were, at the heart of where Christ speaks of the seven lampstands taken over by the powers of Antichrists where He calls it out:</p><blockquote><p class="first-line-none"><span class="text Rev-2-12">“To the angel of the church in <em><strong>Pergamum</strong></em> write: </span><span class="text Rev-2-12">These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30731" class="text Rev-2-13">I know where you live—<em><strong>where Satan has his throne</strong></em>. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—<em><strong>where Satan lives</strong></em>.</span></p></blockquote><p>The Ottoman conquered the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 when they took the city of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the seat of the Patriarchate of the Eastern Church.</p><p>But there lays an important landmark for Christendom. The Hagia Sophia was a Christian temple which was literally considered the Temple of God. Sophia is the Wisdom of God. Most of the Eastern Church Fathers and later Byzantine writers (Justin the Martyr, Athenagoras of Athens, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Methodius of Olympus, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius of Alexandria, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret, Atha- nasius the Sinaite, patriarch of Constantinople Germanus, Theodore the Studite, Symeon the Metaphrast, Symeon the New Theologian and Philotheus Coccinus) leave no doubt to the readers that the personified Wisdom of God they meet in the Old Testament, is a symbolic representation of Christ – the Logos before the Incarnation.</p><p>While the Temple of God in scripture is the magnificent Church militant(on earth) with the Church triumphant (in heaven), Hagia Sophia, having been dedicated to the Son of God, does qualify, in the tangible sense on earth as the Temple of God since Jesus is God. When scriptures speak of Antichrist setting himself in the Temple of God, it does not specify Jerusalem. Keep in mind that the first set of prophecy regarding Christ's first coming were not fulfilled as the masses expected but were fulfilled as the text stated and in a sense that only few foresaw where they examined a greater spiritual outcome.</p><p>When it comes to prophecy, it must be viewed in a different sense than the carnal.</p><p>This sacred house of God, has been taken, plundered, and desecrated by the Ottoman. God will avenge that loss one day soon.</p><div id="attachment_110130" style="width: 695px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/hagiasophia.jpg"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-110130" height="514" sizes="(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/hagiasophia.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/hagiasophia.jpg 320w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/hagiasophia-300x225.jpg 300w" width="685" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Hagia Sophia today</p></div><p>And for decades the West stood with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This week, the U.S. bombed Syria which opens the door for Turkey with its expansion through the buffer zone into northern Syria as well as its supposed re-taking land from ISIS. In other words, when the U.S. attacks Syria, they aid the Islamist takeover of Syria and aid Turkey's Islamist expansion into the region while Trump simply gives lip service saying "I will destroy ISIS". No, he will have an allusion that Turkey will destroy ISIS while all what will happen is that ISIS will go into circulation under different Islamist brigades fighting for Turkey and supported by the U.S.</p><p>How does that make any commonsense. But the lazy and the naive servants will continue to scorn, not Turkey, but us.</p><p>But this scenario will change only in the end. In 2 Esdras it states "<em>you cannot receive your mighty lovers</em>."</p><p>So this coalescing with Turkey will end at some point. This is speaking of "mighty lovers" who are the most powerful nations (U.S., Russia) and Esdras says that this love-affair will end. This same connect of the mighty nations, even most likely including Russia are spoken of by Ezekiel 28:7-8:</p><blockquote><p>“Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas”. <strong>(Ezekiel 28:7-8)</strong></p></blockquote><p>Eventually, the most powerful will fight against the Islamist nations. The U.S. and Russia will continue to be the strongest military powers and will stand against Turkey in the end.</p><p>The U.S. is likely “the strongest of fortresses” (Daniel 11:39) which will eventually destroy the Islamic alliance. The naval armada of the U.S., Italy, Greece, Spain (Ships of Chittim) and others will crush the Islamic alliance in the sea.</p><p>The use of the phrase, “Terrible of the nations” does not mean awful or ugly but “terrible in battle”, as in “the most powerful nations on earth” just as in 2 Esdras, "mighty" "lovers".</p><p>But Esdras puts a link that is unknown unless we read Esdras. It says that Asia's "lovers" where these "mighty" nations. Turkey is currently in NATO. So Esdras amazingly reveals that Turkey "Asia" would be an ally and that then it will split "<strong><em>you cannot receive your mighty lovers". </em></strong></p><p>Then we have "the <em><strong>heat shall rise that is sent upon you" </strong></em>is the either nuclear or the intensifying heat of the Sun:</p><blockquote><p> The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted. (Isaiah 30:26)</p></blockquote><p>Here we could have a double meaning. The "moon", Turkey's symbol and the crescent which is under the woman's feet in Revelation 12, will possibly be a hint that Turkey will heat up as the sun "The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter." The Sun and other stars as a source of heat and light but the fusion of nuclei in a star, starting from its initial hydrogen and helium abundance, provides that energy and synthesizes new nuclei as a byproduct of the fusion process. The prime energy producer in the Sun is the fusion of hydrogen to form helium, which occurs at a solar-core temperature of 14 million kelvin. But this could also allude to a nuclear war. This is likely as we see the results mentioned by Zechariah the prophet:</p><blockquote><p>And this shall be the plague where with the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the flesh of every one shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.  (Zechariah 14:12)</p></blockquote><p>Was Zechariah a nuclear scientist to have been able to predict the effects of nuclear warfare or was he simply the perfect guesser? There are only two choice, unless of course, God is the perfect guesser?</p><p>Therefore, Antichrist does not rule the entire globe as is commonly thought, nor is he the ruler of the most powerful nation on earth and he does not necessarily hold nuclear bombs.</p><p>Such issues makes it interesting as to why in this book, the fate of Asia is tied to Babylon and is why it calls Asia a miserable wretch.

El-Sisi has also called for three days of nationwide mourning."The attack will not undermine the resolve and true will of the Egyptian people to counter the forces of evil, but will only harden their determination to move forward on their trajectory to realize security, stability and comprehensive development," the government's statement said.</p><p>An Egyptian blooger, Maged Butter, recounts: "Every now and then, I see a person crying — I think they are Christian — and they keep saying: 'have you seen my family? Have you seen my family?'" Fadi Sami, a witness at the massacre inside the church in Alexandria, recounts the horrors:</p><blockquote><p>"I came back and the area was covered in smoke. The stores around the church were all destroyed... There were bodies and body parts everywhere, outside and inside the gate. I saw a man put together what was left of his son in a bag."</p></blockquote><p>This horror and carnage, it was done against a Catholic church and an Orthodox church. Why? Because it is only the Catholic and Orthodox who can trace their lineage directly to the Christ and the Apostles, and prove it through historical documentation. It is these Churches against whom the Antichrist makes war, for they are the only Churches that observe the grain offering, that is, the Eucharist, of which Christ declared: "If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever" (John 6:52). The Antichrist will "stop the sacrifice and grain offering" (Daniel 9:27), that is, the Antichrist will abolish the Eucharist, the sacrifice of the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church. Notice, the terrorists put the bomb next to the altar in the parish. The Muslims wanted to attack the place of the Eucharist.</p><p>As long as the spirit of Antichrist is alive, the persecution will never end until Kingdom Come. Until then, let us help our brethren.

Major Catholic Leaders Declare: 'Trump's Bombing Of Syria Only Shows That The USA Wants The Violence And Slaughtering To Continue In Syria'

<p>Two major Catholic leaders, Patriarch Ignace Joseph Younan and Bishop Georges Khazen, are condemning Trump's bombing of Syria. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/world/catholic-leaders-syria-criticize-us-missile-strikes">one report:</a></p><blockquote><p>Two prominent Catholic leaders in Syria criticized the U.S. missile strikes against their nation, wondering why they occurred before investigations into the origins of chemical attacks reported April 4.</p><p>But U.S. President Donald Trump said Syrian President Bashar Assad "launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians" and "choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children."</p><p>"No child of God should ever suffer such horror," he said April 6, announcing that he had ordered the strike against the air base from which he said the chemical weapons attack was launched.</p><p>Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignace Joseph Younan called the attack an aggression and told Catholic News Service: "It is a shame that the United States administration didn't wait until an honest United Nations investigation was thoroughly made into what is said to be a chemical air strike in Khan Shaykun."</p><p>"The agglomerate media and the supremacist policy of the USA just want the killing and destroying conflict in Syria to continue, and this primarily to kill whatever attempt to resolve the bloody crisis," added Younan, who was born in Syria and served for 14 years as bishop of the New Jersey-based Diocese of Our Lady of Deliverance for Syriac Catholics in the United States and Canada.</p><p>Bishop Georges Khazen, who serves Latin-rite Catholics in Aleppo, told the Rome-based Fides news agency that he was baffled by "the speed with which it was decided and carried out, without any adequate investigation into the tragic massacre with chemical weapons which took place in Idlib province."</p><p>He said the attack "opens new disturbing scenarios for all."</p></blockquote>
