How Would We Face Persecution In Canada and all Western Nations.

Would You Die For Jesus?

 How quick it is to dismiss and to forget that there was a time when Christians were thrown to lions, burned as human torches, mangled by wild beasts, killed by gladiators, tortured, torn apart by wild horses, or martyred in other dreadful ways?


Another great period of martyrdom broke out at the time of the Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries. We can read the accounts in all their gruesome details in 
"Fox's Book of Martyrs."

Do you know what century was the most tortuous of all? It is estimated that more Christians were tortured and slain in twelve months during World War II than Christians who died under Rome in all the early centuries. In the city of Seoul, Korea, ten thousand Christians have already suffered martyrdom for their faith. Some authorities claim that over fifteen million Christians have been slaughtered in India, Pakistan, China, Soviet-controlled Europe, and other Communist countries. Since Christianity began, no generation has seen such worldwide persecution as is now and progressing.

In Africa and the Middle East, Egypt, hundreds and thousands of Christians are being killed by Muslims. Europe lost its gripes over the growing Muslim population. They are increasing their population by using the same tactic that the provincial government of Quebec used with the support of the Catholic Church in the nineteen century for the purpose of increasing their representation in the Federal government that is by making babies. What do you think will be the result once Muslims reach a democratic majority? Democracy will prove that it is not the best form of government. At election, there is always part of the population who lose and are left out. Democracy only works when the minority submits to the majority. Would you submit to Sharia law? Democracy is not necessarily the best solution in some countries such as Iraq. There is more disorder and suicide booming among Muslims now than under the regime of Saddam Hussein.

In spite of the facts, political and some church leaders persist in avoiding any mention of Islam or Muslim when referring to their violence. That is always blamed on extremists. We are now considered racist for our comments toward Muslims. Would I be accused of racism for denouncing Nazism as evil? This society is afraid of Islam. Studying the origin of Islam will reveal that Muhammad himself began this trail of death, and his followers have obeyed, as supported by the Qur'an.

This simple truth of history is brushed aside by the UN and almost the entire world, including some denomination churches that support the establishment of a Palestinian State unaware that it is the foothold used by the surrounding Islamist nations who are planning Israel's extinction (Ezekiel 38). Those denominations have accepted the "Replacement Theology" proclaiming that the Church has replaced Israel as God's representative and that the role of the Jews as God's Chosen People was over.

Islam nations have been at war with the Jews since 1920 when the Jewish army repelled the first Arab attacks on the Palestine Jews. Jews were in Palestine long before 1948 the birth of the nation Israel. Before 1920, the Zionists decided to redeem Palestine by buying land on a grand scale for all Jewish settlers. Suddenly, the scraggy soil of Palestine, neglected for fifteen centuries by its alien custodians, acquired value. Though prices asked by Arab and Turkish landholders were outrageous, the Zionist Jewish National Fund paid them.  By 1948, when the State of Israel was founded, the Jews had paid millions of dollars for 250,000 acres of desert land, had settled 83,000 Jews on the land, had founded 233 villages, and planted 5,000,000 trees on soil that but fifty years previous had been barren. (Ref: Jews, God and History by Max I. Dimont) Yet, the Arab nation's goal is to annihilate all Jews.

Any nations and church denominations that take sides against Israel do so against God. ""I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."  Genesis 12:2-3. This declaration by God is very active today. Look at the poor economic state of the nations that are putting pressure on Israel to give up land for peace. Canada is in good standing before God for its role in supporting Israel and, therefore blessed abundantly economically compared to its G8 members counterpart.

Church denominations that support a Palestinian state do not understand that Islam is forcing its religion against people's will. Their mandate is to convert the whole world. I am not making this up. It is in the Qur'an. Many accept Islam for fear of losing their business, their family, and their life. ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF TERROR that seeds fear and submission ruled by Sharia law Among the horrors of Sharia are death for criticism of Islam, death for leaving Islam, death for non-Muslims living under Sharia, the near impossibility of rape victims to prove rape, wife beating, child marriage, unequal rights for women, no legal rights for non-Muslims, and the subjugation of women. There is no retribution by the Islamic State against a Muslim who kills a non-Muslim under Sharia law. If this should happen in Canada, would there not be an outcry for justice? This is it …it is not happening here in Canada…yet! So why should we get involved? No one took seriously Winston Churchill's warning about the dangers of a German Nazi regime.

The Qur'an considers Jesus to be a prophet. At the return of the Mahdi (Muslin messiah), Jesus will be his servant. Frankly, who came first? Jesus Son of God who GAVE His life on the cross by spilling HIS blood so that whoever believes in Him (voluntarily) may have eternal life, and warned us of a false prophet to come, or Muhammad the prophet who spilled blood to whoever resists him from converting to Islam?

Hitler had a secret mandate to eliminate Jews. Islam has an open mandate to eliminate the "infidels" which are considered Christians, Jews, and anyone who opposes Islam. There is no such thing as a moderate Islamist. They are wolves in sheep skin.

What are we to do? Denounce then? Bring their scam to light? IT IS ALREADY TO LATE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Muslim emigration into the United States is out of control. President Obama is professing homosexual Muslim, not Christian.

Here's a small excerpt from Brigitte Gabriel's speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington DC:
This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting. We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering basic human instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature life in society is ever capable of giving them.
The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction, and damnation down on America and its people. The radical Islamist deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate, and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.
We are next in Canada. Is it too late to change course? Oh yes. We are too involved in our daily way of life and too content to look for threats. These are part of the signs of time predicted from the book of Daniel to the Book of Revelation. "Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors". Pro 8:24.

The truth is that hatred for Christians and Christianity is rapidly increasing. Jesus warned us that these days would come. The times ahead of us are not referred to as "the Tribulation" for nothing. It will be an absolute bloodbath for Christians. The entire world system will be geared towards eliminating all traces of the true Christian faith. Members of the same family will even betray one another to the authorities.  The truth is that things are not going to get any easier for Christians from here on out. Someday soon there will be no place to hide from Christian persecution. When that day arrives, what will you do? 


Pray for thy kingdom come.

Israel God' s Chosen People

Print Friendly and PDF

 

Is Israel Still God's Chosen People?




Although The Government of Canada has shown support toward Israel in the United Nations Assembly, it is unclear which position it should take regarding Israel's expansion of its settlements, especially after Israel's announcement that it was building 1,600 apartments in east Jerusalem.

Humankind has one huge flaw and that is we forget.  We do not remember more than one generation at its best.  After that historians debate and argue for the validity of supported documents to the point that any hearsay may be used as propaganda.  That is the case concerning the ownership of Jerusalem.  Palestinian Arab denial of the Jewish connection to Jerusalem has likely long-term implications.  The Palestinian Arabs' self-evidently false history alienates their Israeli interlocutors even as it lays claim to sole rights over the entire city.

Here is an excerpt of a commentary by Daniel Pipes titled, “What Jewish Ties to Jerusalem?”


"By 1990, the Islamic focus on Jerusalem reached such a surreal intensity that Palestinian Arabs evolved from celebrating Jerusalem to denying the city's sacred and historical importance to Jews.  The Palestinian Arab establishment – scholars, clerics and politicians – promoted this unlikely claim by constructing a revisionist edifice made up in equal parts of fabrication, falsehood, fiction and fraud.  It erases all Jewish connections to the land of Israel, replacing them with a specious Palestinian-Arab connection.

Palestinian Arabs now claim that Canaanites built Solomon's Temple, that the ancient Hebrews were Bedouin tribesmen, the Bible came from Arabia, the Jewish Temple "was in Nablus or perhaps Bethlehem," the Jewish presence in Palestine ended in 70 C.E., and today's Jews are descendants of the Khazar Turks. Yasser Arafat himself created a non-existent Canaanite king, Salem, out of thin air, speaking movingly about this fantasy Palestinian Arab "forefather."

Palestinian Media Watch sums up this process: By turning Canaanites and Israelites into Arabs and the Judaism of ancient Israel into Islam, the Palestinian Authority "takes authentic Jewish history, documented by thousands of years of continuous literature, and crosses out the word 'Jewish' and replaces it with the word 'Arab'."

Does Israel have a right to exist?  Who owns the land?  Who owns Jerusalem?  Is it Arab land?  What is historical Palestine?

The Arab world claims Israel is an 'occupying power'. The Durban Conference, in its, modified declaration, makes the same explicit statement.

What about the claims of the Arabs to their homelands? The same British government that created the modern Arab world in 1920 at the San Remo Conference in Italy -- by decree -- also created a Jewish homeland the same way at the same conference.

And the Jewish Palestine of the Balfour Declaration as confirmed at San Remo encompassed a much bigger chunk of ground than Israel claims today.

We saw the global reaction when Iraq tried to undo the British freehand redrawing of the map of the Middle East when he reclaimed 'Province 19', or what the British have called 'Kuwait' since 1899.

It's important to remember also that Iraq was both 'Mesopotamia' and 'Palestine' until the British created the modern state Iraq, carving it out of a number of different Arab 'provinces' - there were no countries, just provinces of the Ottoman Empire. The British completely forgot to draw borders for Kurdistan.

The Kurds were no happier about it than were the Arabs of the Ottoman Empire whom the world now refers to as the 'Palestinians'. Nobody at the UN is calling for the redrawing of that map.

Three-fourths of what became Iraq were Assyrians of Mesopotamia who woke up one morning as 'Iraqis'. And where is the UN's indignation at Saddam's ethnic cleansing of the Kurds? Israel never wiped out any villages [Kurdish, Palestinian or otherwise] with poison gas.

Or is this all Jewish propaganda? Better tell the Arabs. Most of this is on the Arab-Net website, as well. They'll want to revise that.

And Jordan was created by the British in 1921 as Trans-Jordan. Is it not really Jordan at all?

What is really hard to find in history is the nation of Palestine. If we use Palestine as it was under the Ottoman Turks from 1517 to 1917, there is no Jordan, Syria, or Lebanon. I haven't heard of those countries offering to dissolve themselves and give the land to Arafat.

At the beginning of the 20th century, 'Palestinian' cities included Acre, Jerusalem, Amman, Damascus and Baghdad. 

Syria was created by the British and subsequently given to France as the French Mandate. The Syrians declared independence after the British left in 1946, two years before Israel did the same thing. How are they different? They are both historically 'Palestinian'.

Either both the Arab Middle East and the Jewish homeland are equally valid, or equally invalid since both were created by the same power at the same time. You can't have it both ways. But facts don't seem to bother the UN or the Arabs much. It seems when facts get in the way, they are dismissed as 'Jewish propaganda'.

The Palestinians had Arafat to stand up for them. They don't need our help. Arafat's done quite a job at Durban. Israel was the only nation singled out for condemnation for its 'racist, genocidal practices'.

Maybe the concept that Jews practice 'racial superiority' doesn't bother the UN, but since I know Jews of virtually every single race -- including those from Arab countries, it does me. The main argument against Israel, from the Arab perspective, is that the Israelis stole the land from the 'native' people of the region.

First, the question of the 'native' people of the region. The Book of Psalms, chapter 137, penned three thousand years ago by a Jew [actually an 'Israelite' -- a play on words? I think not], says,

"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." -- Psalm 137:6

The Jewish sacred writings of antiquity refer to Jerusalem some 767 times, compared to the Koran, which does not mention it once.

Canadians don't like to remind themselves that we stole the land from the Indians, but nobody denies what a 'Native Canadian' is.

The only reason we aren't behaving as the Israelis are is because the Native Canadians aren't setting off bombs in Dominion supermarkets across Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec because we 'stole' them from their territories.

However, what do you think Canada's response would be if they did?  Would the UN call Canadians a single 'race' in order to lay charges of genocide, racism, and ethnic cleansing against the Native Canadians?

Canada is the 'great melting pot' consisting of every race, creed, and religious perspective under the sun.  So, too is Israel.  Furthermore, Israel is the only democratic nation in the Middle East.

Any Arab argument about Arabs being second-class citizens in Israel is immediately counter-balanced by the record of human rights extended to Jews and Christians in Muslim countries.

The radical Islamists claim to be 'People of the Book' - the 'Book' being the Bible, including the Old Testament. Yet they say Israel has no right to exist as a nation. They should take a look into the 'Book' they claim to follow.

"Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever." Jeremiah 31:36

Israel has a right to exist, and they have a right to determine the terms of their own existence.  They have the right to build 1,600 apartments in east Jerusalem. 

What is the root cause of anti-Zionism?  As you can see, Western nations have pre-justice toward Israel, and even many Christian denominations are being misled.  Their understanding is based on "The Replacement Theology", which is the root of Anti-Semitism in Western nations.  "Replacement Theology " is the belief that entered the early Church that Christianity superseded Israel, that God's blessings were for the Church and His curses for the Jewish people, and that all the covenants and promises of the Bible now belong exclusively to the Church.

The truth is the body of Christ (The Church) and Israel (the nation) have their purpose in the fulfilment of Bible prophecies. The Church's commission is to spread the gospel of salvation to Jews and Gentiles and to preach the Kingdom of God (Christ's return) to all nations as a witness. It is Jesus' special people of all nations and tribes. There was no mention of race or racial group before the eighteenth century.  This terminology was a fabrication from the evolutionist, it purpose was to disassociate as far as possible from a God Creator. Tribe is biblically correct.

The Church is not commissioned to force conversion on the entire world but to call out a special group to Jesus whom He calls His bride.  The restoration of the nation Israel is proof to the world nations that God loves Israel and informs the entire world that the end time of this world government system is at hand and that all nations will give an account of their behaviors toward the Jews worldwide and the nation Israel.

Here is an excerpt by Clarence H. Wagner, Jr. concerning the danger of "The Replacement Theology";

What Happens When the Church Replaces Israel?

1) The Church becomes arrogant and self-centered.
2) It boasts against the Jews and Israel.
3) It devalues the role of Israel or has no role for Israel at all.
4) These attitudes result in anti-Semitism in word and deed.
5) Without a place for Israel and the Jewish people today, you cannot explain the Bible prophecies, especially the very specific ones being fulfilled in Israel today.
6) Many New Testament passages do not make sense when the Jewish people are replaced by the Church.
7) You can lose the significance of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament, for today. Many Christians boast of being a New Testament (NT) Christian or an NT Church as in the Book of Acts. However, the Bible of the early Church was not the New Testament, which did not get codified until the 4th century, but rather the Hebrew Scriptures.
8) You can lose the Hebraic/Judaic contextualization of the New Testament, which teaches us more about Yeshua and how to become better disciples.
9) The Church loses out on the opportunity to participate in God's plan and prophecy for the Church, Israel and the world today.

----------------------------------------------------

I am a Christian who supports the right of the Jewish people to establish and defend a state in their historic homeland of Israel. Israel is God's Chosen People and not the other way around.  It is not Israel that had chosen God. 

One day in the late 19th Century, Queen Victoria of England reportedly asked her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, this question..."Mr. Prime Minister, what evidence can you give me of the existence of God?" Disraeli thought for a moment and then replied, "The Jew, your majesty."

Denying God's existence is denying Israel the right to exist. In 1948, a long-awaited prophetic event came to pass. The Jews were given the right to exist in their own nation. Ezekiel 37. Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.'

The Jews are God chosen people. There is no evidence to prove the contrary. Denial and rejection of God Truth. HOW CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THE HATE GENERATED BY SO MANY NATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL TOWARD ONE INSIGNIFICANT COUNTRY  "ISRAEL"?

As Christians, we are exhorted to comfort the Jewish people and to speak tenderly to them (Isaiah 4:1-2). We are commanded to speak out for Zion's sake and to be watchmen on the walls for Israel until the Lord "makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth" (Isaiah 62:1, 6-7). We are warned not to be arrogant toward the Jews (Romans 11:18). Furthermore, we are reminded that due to our spiritual debt to them, we should minister to them in material things (Romans 15:27).

In the Covenant, that God made with Abraham He promised to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse the Jews, and history is littered with the carcasses of nations who mistreated the Jews.

It is imperative that Canada disassociates itself from the Quartet's Road Map for peace and its Representatives which consist of United Nations — Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, European Union — High Representative Javier Solana,  Russian Federation — Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, United States of America — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Special Envoy — Tony Blair which, all have a very precarious agenda. 

Israel is God's chosen people (Deut 7:6).  The land belongs to God (Jer 27:5), for it is their perpetual possession  (Lev 25:34) therefore He decides to whom it is to be awarded to. 

There is a genuine reason for Canada's financial strength in this global economic crisis. The Canadian Government policies toward Israel under the leadership of the Great Hon. Steven Harper within it representation at the United Nations have been favourable in God's eyes.  What is the secret of Canada's financial blessing?  God does keep His promise made to Abraham.  Gen 12:3.  All nations will give account of their action toward the nation Israel and the Jews (Matt 25: 31-46).  The Lord "will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."  (Zechariah 12:9)


Joel 3:1-2 God Judges the Nations
For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,  I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. "

For a more insightful understanding of the above topic, I suggest that you read a book entitled " Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done, by Ron Graft and Lambert Dolphin, available FREE in Internet version, http://ldolphin.org/kingdom.

I have preached to you, the gospel of the Kingdom of God as a witness.  I invite you to accept the gospel of salvation, which is to believe in the One that God had sent, Jesus, so that whoever believes in Him may have everlasting life. That also is FREE.

May God in Jesus Bless the present Government of this great country that God had given us.
