Welcome to 2021! If you are like me to any degree, you are not sad to see 2020 go away. Here in Ohio, we have experienced things I never thought possible, most of them instigated by our Governor and his enablers in the state’s senate and house.
Have you considered that 2021 may be a continuation of 2020? What makes us think that once the calendar turns to 2021 things will change? There is certainly nothing magical about a new day or year under the same circumstances. What Americans are experiencing right now will not change unless Americans determine to take appropriate action to change their circumstances.
One thing among many that 2020 has cemented in the consciousness of a growing number of Americans is this – elected representatives at both the state and federal level do not respect those they claim to represent. This disrespect has been decades in the making but has finally been unveiled for even the casual observer to notice. The year 2020 pulled back the curtain, rent every remaining thread of illusion that politicians are not simply wholly owned by corporations, foreign governments, and their financial bag-men otherwise known as lobbyists, notwithstanding their periodic reelection speeches to the contrary.
We are living in a time of revealing. Christians, Conservatives, Libertarians, Patriots, and other freedom and liberty-minded people, should take the time to rejoice. There are many reasons to rejoice today but here is one that some may be missing – we should rejoice because the God-haters, the America-haters, the freedom-haters, the liberty-haters, in short, the satanic, demonic, Leftists among us are finally being exposed on a scale and at a depth never before seen in American history.
Leftists, Marxists, Communists, Democrats, America-haters, and God-haters, all have one thing in common – they serve a demonic master who has completely destroyed their innate ability to reason for the common good. I and many others have said for many years that Leftist politics, whether Marxist or Globalist, is a mental disorder. We are seeing that truth verified like never before.
I’ll
tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again[1]
And
Jesus began to say to them, “See to it
that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name,
saying, ‘I am He!’ and
will mislead many … for false Christs and false
prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to
lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed;
behold, I have told you everything in advance. Mark 13:5-6,
22-23 NASB
There is an
eight hundred pound gorilla on the world stage and nearly every political
leader in the world, save Trump, Ader of Hungary, and Duda of Poland, plus a
few more, refuse to acknowledge its presence. It is getting really awkward for
Macron, Merkel, and May. The atrocities that they have allowed to be committed
against their citizenry by this gorilla deny reason. Can open revolt In France,
Germany, and the United Kingdom be too far off?
Stated simply, world leaders who advocate for the continued freedom of this gorilla to behave in any way it desires are either deceived or being paid to downplay what is clearly a war against Western civilization. I believe it is some of both but mostly deception. Somehow, Western leaders believe they can contain the cancer that is Islam.
What kind of
blindness is this? How can political leaders who rise through the cesspool of
maneuvering to reach national prominence not understand what Islam is? The
message of Islam is simple: convert or die. There is no ambiguity within Islam.
This is why I say that the world and especially the leaders of the world’s
nations, save a few, are completely deceived. This deception is satanic. Let me
explain.
Jesus warned
against being deceived. He said, “See to it that no one misleads you. Many will
come in My name.” The context is that the time will come when people will
attempt to mislead you by advocating for false Christ’s. There have been many
people over the years that have done exactly that. They have all been proven to
be liars and frauds. The most dangerous deception concerning Jesus – the false
Jesus – is found in Islam.
Satan, who is
known as Allah to Muslims, has constructed a masterful deception and named it
Islam. Christians of all people should know better than to believe the lies of
Islam but unfortunately that is not the case. This is to their shame and
potentially to their destruction. How does Islam present the most clear and
present danger to Christians and indeed the world? If you want to understand
the barbarity of Islam and why Islamists are blood-thirsty savages, then you
must understand their eschatology. Islam has a theology of the end times.
Would it
surprise you if I told you that Jesus plays a significant role in Islamic end time’s
theology? Of course, when I say Jesus, I’m talking about the Islamic Jesus.
There is a difference between the biblical Jesus and the Jesus of Islam and you
must understand this pivotal point.
Islam
recognizes Jesus as a great prophet. But Islam states that Mohammed is greater.
In fact the 12th Imam or Mahdi of Islam is even greater. The Islamic
Jesus is a great prophet but:
He is not the Son of God.
He was not born of a virgin.
He was not crucified for the sins of the world.
He did not die on a cross.
Because He didn’t die He was not resurrected.
He was taken to heaven just like Elijah and Mohammed.
He is standing with Allah waiting for Allah to allow Him to return to
the earth.
Now, some
Christians get excited over that last point: Muslims believe Jesus will return
to the earth. In their excitement they rush to an ignorant conclusion: We can
use that as a starting place for interfaith dialogue.
As Lee Corso
likes to say: Not so fast my friends! In Islam, Jesus returns to assist the
Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah-Savior figure with several necessary activities. The
Islamic Jesus will, according to Islam:
Jesus returns as a radicalized Muslim and
Jesus will implement Sharia Law across the entire world.
Jesus’ testimony as a Muslim will lead many Christians to convert to
Islam.
Jesus will testify against those Christians who refuse to convert on the
Day of Judgment.
Jesus will abolish Christianity.
Jesus will destroy every cross.
Jesus will kill all swine.
Jesus will kill the Muslim antichrist and his followers, which in
Islamic theology are the Jews.
Jesus will marry, have children, and die.
The Islamic
Jesus is the exact opposite of the biblical Jesus. In fact, the Islamic Jesus
is a near perfect representation of the biblical false prophet. Yet, we have
mindless Christians that believe we can dialogue with Islamists and find a
common ground.
Let’s
consider the Islamic messiah-savior figure, the Mahdi, sometimes referred to as
the 12th Imam. The name “Mahdi” means “the Guided One.” The Mahdi is
also called Sahib Al-Zaman or Al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, which translated mean “the
Lord of the age” and “the Awaited Savior.” The Mahdi is Islam’s savior.
The
appearance of the Mahdi on the world stage is to Muslims the equivalent of the
return of Jesus Christ to Christians. The Mahdi is:
A descendant of Mohammed.
The final and longed for Caliph who will establish the Islamic worldwide
Caliphate.
He will rule the world through a series of holy wars.
His rise to power is preceded by an army of black flag carrying
warriors.
The black
flags these warriors carry are inscribed with the words “There is no God but
Allah, and Mohammed is his Messenger” in Arabic. The Mahdi will lead the black
flagged warriors to conquer Israel and will reign from the Dome of the Rock in
Jerusalem. Muslims believe the Mahdi will be loved by the entire world.
The reason
Muslims believe the entire world will love the Mahdi is because they believe
the Mahdi will establish world peace. He will negotiate a peace treaty between
the Arabs and the Romans, by which is meant Christians.
Let’s
contrast what Islam reaches about the Mahdi with whom the Bible says
accomplishes these things. The Bible teaches that the antichrist will arrive on
the world stage as a political savior. He will bring peace to the world through
a treaty between Israel and the Muslim world. The antichrist will appear to be
a spiritual leader for the entire world and he will make use of the one world
religion.
The biblical
antichrist attempts to destroy Jews and Christians. In fact, the biblical
antichrist breaks treaty with Israel, demands he be worshipped, and seeks to
attack and conquer Jerusalem and establish his headquarters there.
Readers that
are even vaguely familiar with the Bible see clearly that the Islamic savior,
the Mahdi, is the biblical antichrist. The Islamic Jesus is the biblical false
prophet.
Islam is
Satanic. It is thoroughly demonic in origin and practice. Indeed, it manifests
the spirit of antichrist right before the eyes of the world and yet world
leaders turn a blind eye to the horrific evil being unleashed on innocent
people.
Jesus warned
of the day when false Christs would come onto the world scene, and I remind you
of one such passage in Mark.
And Jesus
began to say to them, “See to it
that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name,
saying, ‘I am He!’ and
will mislead many … for false Christs and false
prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to
lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed;
behold, I have told you everything in advance. Mark 13:5-6,
22-23
Those days
are upon us. Here are characteristics of the spirit of antichrist:
and every spirit
that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist,
of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the
world. 1 John 4:3
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is
the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and
the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father;
the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23
For many
deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge
Jesus Christ as coming
in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 John 1:7
The spirit of
antichrist deceives people, and is a liar. Those consumed by the spirit of
antichrist deny that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of Israel and the world;
they deny the Father and the Son and therefore the Trinity; they deny that Jesus
Christ came in the flesh, and therefore the incarnation.
Yet, people
want to say that the God of the Bible is Allah, that Jesus is revered within
Islam, and that if we just keep dialoguing with the Muslims then we can achieve
a peaceful co-existence with them. Neville Chamberlain lives again as every
modern imbecile who believes Islam is about co-existing.
Those that
are pushing a globalist Chrislam one-world religion harlotry should be
denounced and shamed. People that want to have conversations for better
understanding with jihadi Imams should be denounced in the strongest possible
terms.
You want to
have a conversation with Islamists? Tell them to confess their sins and receive
God’s free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Tell them to renounce the demonic lies of Islam and live as a disciple of
Jesus.
Wake up
church!

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler ofthe demons.” Matthew 12:24
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:27
A recent article posted at The Huffington Post by religion reporter Carol Kuruvilla announced the group Vote Common Good (VCG), was beginning a bus tour to selected cities in America to challenge conservative evangelical Christian support for President Trump.
Who and what is Vote Common Good and what issues do they see as problematic for Christians supporting President Trump specifically and the Republican Party generally? Not surprisingly the “who” of Vote Common Good reads like a progressive, leftist, Marxist list of who’s who. The Executive Director of VCG is Doug Pagitt, he of the once dubbed Emerging Church movement, and author of An Emergent Manifesto of Hope, among other books.
