The mad dream of a dead empire that unites Islamic rebels
NY Post ^ | 6/14/14 | Amir Taheri

Posted on 06/14/2014 6:39:59 PM PDT by jimbo123

They call themselves the Army of God (Jund Allah) and claim to be fighting to unite mankind under the banner of Islam as “the only true faith.” To achieve that goal, they believe they should revive the Islamic Caliphate, the theocratic empire developed after the death of Prophet Mohammed in 632 AD.

Adepts of the caliphate movement are present throughout the world, including the United States, under different labels. In many places, from the Philippines to Nigeria, passing by Thailand, India, Afghanistan and Syria, they have taken up arms to capture a chunk of territory as the embryo of their dream empire.

He kills them by WAR first and the remaining he kills by summary JUDGMENT.

I’m surprised you haven’t heard about Jesus returning and setting up his rule and reign here on earth for the Millennial Kingdom.

When he returns all those who oppose him in setting up his kingdom on this earth are killed (that’s what it means when they are sent into outer darkness - Jesus dispatches all of them straight to Hell). No one enters his kingdom on this earth “not” believing in him and accepting him as Savior and King on this earth.

That’s “Basic Christianity 101” ... :-) ...

1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

3 And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: “Amen, Hallelujah!”

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!”

6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.”

9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ “ And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.

12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.”

19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.

20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Revelation 19

The birds are going to be eating a lot of DEAD MUSLIMS, along with a whole host of others who oppose him.

And the remaining by SUMMARY JUDGMENT ...

31”When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34”Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37”Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40”The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

41”Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44”They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45”He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46”Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Matthew 25:31-46

Those MUSLIMS who are not killed in battle, when Jesus finishes with the WAR upon his return and establishes his initial control over all the nations of the world — he DISPATCHES STRAIGHT TO HELL the rest of them, at the “Judgement of the Nations”. Those are the “goats” here. The “sheep” are allowed to stay (alive) here on this earth and in his Kingdom as he rules and reigns over all the nations of the world from Jerusalem.

— — — — —

Psalm 2 gives the warning to everyone to accept the Son now, and he won’t kill you later!

1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.

3 “Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 “I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.”

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.

8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

It might come as a surprise to many, but the truth is that Islam today no longer has a living and evolving theology. In fact, with few exceptions, Islam’s last genuine theologians belong to the early part of the 19th century. Go to any mosque anywhere, whether it is in New York or Mecca, and you are more likely to hear a political sermon rather than a theological reflection.

Surprising honesty from the press.

And to think that this woos is in control of the nuclear football and has admitted to stand with the Muslims.
America really knows how to pick their POTUS.

It sickens me.

When he returns all those who oppose him in setting up his kingdom on this earth are killed

Fair enough.

But Muslims, if they do indeed oppose his kingdom when it arrives, will be only one group of those who do.

To say that the Bible foretells that Jesus will destroy Muslims as such is just not accurate.

For example, it would be equally accurate to claim that Christ will destroy the Jews on his return, if they oppose him. And it just doesn't say any such thing.

Muslims are the ones under discussion here. If atheists had been under discussion (and subject of this thread), I would have told you that all ATHEISTS will be killed by Jesus.

Muslims are but a subset of those who will be killed by Jesus ... And they will DEFINITELY be killed and totally wiped off this earth.

HOWEVER, you bring up another group and they will NOT be killed by Jesus when he returns. ALL JEWS who are there (called all Israel) will be saved. The Bible tells us that all Israel will be saved.

Now ... leading up to the time just before Jesus returns, and during the time when a lot of others in the world are dying, about two-thirds of Israel is killed. But that is not at the time of his return and it is not at the establishment of his Kingdom on this earth. It’s during the Tribulation.

The one-third that remains will all accept him as they see him returning, thus ... ALL ISRAEL will be saved at that time.

I would have never told you, in any case, that all Jews would be killed. The Bible makes the opposite assertion ... they will ALL BE SAVED!

AND ... that does make a good contrast here ... ALL MUSLIMS will be killed by Jesus, while ALL JEWS will be saved by Jesus, at the time of his return to set up his worldwide, one-world government.

I guess that proves who was right between Israel being in the land and the Muslims wanting to drive them out!

I find that highly unlikely. It would require God to violate the free will of those Jews who remain obstinate in their disbelief.

Unlikely or not ... it’s what God will do. We are told that there was a partial hardening regarding a Israel until God brings in the full number of Gentiles. I haven’t heard that “hardening” (which a God did to them) as something that takes away their free will, yet ... God does it. And we are actually seeing the gradual removal of that hardening, in our present day, by the growing number of Messianics in Israel. And God will remove this hardening when all the Gentiles who are to be saved ... are saved.

25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

Romans 11:25-27

And they will mourn the one they pierced ...

1 This is the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him, declares:

2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem.

3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.

4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the LORD. “I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.

5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.’

6 “On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.

7 “The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.

8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them.

9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
Mourning for the One They Pierced

10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,

13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,

14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.

Zechariah 12

— — —

1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother, to whom he was born, will say to him, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD’s name.’ When he prophesies, his own parents will stab him.

4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his prophetic vision. He will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive.

5 He will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth. ‘

6 If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your body ?’ he will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered

7 “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8 In the whole land,” declares the LORD, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.

9 This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ “

Zechariah 13

— — —

37”O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

38Look, your house is left to you desolate.

39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ “

Matthew 23:37-39

We must be sure to tell Obama that the future WILL NOT belong to those who slander the Messiah of Israel.

That’s because any who do will be summarily killed, just as dead as the person in this picture you posted ... and it’s Jesus who will do the killing and not any Muslim extremists or terrorists.

Jesus will rid the entire world of any who oppose him on His return, and send them straight to Hell. Only those who support him will be allowed to live.

I noticed you keep substituting your own words for those in the bible, in ways that don’t fit at all.
