For decades, even centuries,
Christians and Muslims have warred against each other in the region now known
as Serbia and Croatia. Muslims have long
held that Christians are ‘infidels’ that need to either convert to Islam or be
exterminated. In 1990, area Christians
began a process of ethnic cleansing to rid the region of Muslims. The United Nations was horrified and
intervened by sending in U.N. forces which included U.S. troops and air
strikes. The Christian effort was
eventually thwarted and the U.N. and U.S. successfully protected Muslims … and essentially
waged war on Christians.
Since that time, both the U.N. and U.S.
have continued to protect Muslims; but not Christians. Christians in the Sudan were being slaughtered
by Muslims and no one came to their aid. Muslims periodically went on mass attacks of
Christian in Indonesia, and again the U.N. and U.S. remained silent.
More recently, Christians by the thousands
are being brutally attacked, beaten, raped, tortured, homes and churches burned
and killed by Muslims in Nigeria; but again the U.N. and U.S. remain silent. While President Obama continued aiding and
abetting the Egyptian government and Muslim Brotherhood, they were openly
attacking the nation’s Coptic Christians by the hundreds. There was no secret that Egyptian Christians
were being beaten, raped, tortured and murdered by Egyptian police … all of
which were Muslim … but the Obama Administration and the U.N. remained silent.
Christians are being persecuted by
Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Sudan, Nigeria, Turkmenistan,
South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Kashmir and Mali. Has the U.N. or U.S. taken action to protect
Christians in these nations or even condemn their persecution? NO! Yet,
when a few American servicemen wrongly urinated on the bodies of some dead
Muslims, Obama is outraged, apologizes to the world and demands justice. Muslim prisoners deface copies of the Koran
and Bibles, so U.S. troops burned the defaced holy books. The world went into an uproar over the burned Korans,
and Obama again apologized and demanded reprimands be handed down; but no one
mentioned that it was the Muslims that first defaced the Korans … nor did
anyone complain or protest the burning of Bibles.
Worse yet, we are seeing more
persecution of Christians and the protection of Muslims happening here in the U.S.
Some judges here in the U.S. are ruling based upon sharia law instead of state
or federal law. Muslims have taken over
entire communities like Dearborn, Michigan resulting in Christians having their
rights violated and being arrested for exercising their right of free speech
and religion on a public street. Dearborn
high schools held a girls only prom for Muslim students and the prom was
Islamic through and through; and yet Christians are not allowed to hold
Baccalaureate or Christmas concerts because of the so-called ‘separation of
church and state.’
Whenever the Jews turned away from God
and embraced some pagan religion, God always withdrew His protective hand from
them and allowed them to be conquered and captured by their enemies. When they would once again turn back to God,
He would raise them up from captivity and restore them.
Our Founding Fathers knew for certain
that God had intervened on their behalf and helped them gain independence because
they relied on Him. They built the nations
laws and culture on biblical principles. God blessed them and has been protecting us
ever since. But our nation has turned
from God and it is obvious that He has withdrawn His hand from us. I see our nation on the verge of collapsing
and falling into the hands of our enemies … just like the Jews of the Old
Testament.
There is only one way to prevent it
and that is for the nation and the nation’s leaders to turn to God and embrace
Him and His teachings. Anything short of
that spells our downfall and His judgment. Are you prepared for this?
