Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Recruiting Video

Dear fellow Christians, I would like you all to click here to watch the latest ISIS recruitment video, and tell me what modern Christian movement or expression matches the zeal and commitment of this Satanic movement? Its going to take something far greater than what we are doing right now. Its going to take a […]

Obama Advisor Mohamed Elibiary’s One Way Conversation

So having joined twitter, ( @Joel7Richardson ) I found Obama Advisor Mohamed Elibiary, who has repeatedly stated that a Caliphate was inevitable and that the US should support it——just like the EU. Any who disagreed with him of course, he labeled “right-wingers.” As if liberals are so in favor of a Caliphate, with its wonderful […]

The Hour of ISIS Power: How Did It Come To This?

Dr. Timothy Furnish has written what is in my opinion, unarguably the best and most comprehensive overview of the present unfolding situation in Iraq and Syria. Read his latest blogpost at Mahdiwatch.org

Is the Vision of Daniel 8 Being Fulfilled Right Now in Iraq and Iran?

If you are a student of Bible prophecy, than I want you to get your Bible out and open it to Daniel chapter 8. Now, if you consult nearly any commentary on the Book of Daniel, you’ll find they nearly all interpret this prophecy as fulfilled in history. The prophecy begins with a ram butting […]

Rouhani: Iran to combat terrorism in Iraq

And there it is: TEHRAN – Predominantly Shiite Muslim Iran will combat terrorism by Sunni extremists in neighboring Iraq, President Hassan Rouhani warned Thursday. Rouhani did not say exactly what Iran intended to do to help stop an offensive by fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) that is pushing toward Baghdad […]

ISIS captures Mosul, Iraq’s Second-Largest City

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has captured Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq. Mosul by the way is essentially the Nineveh of biblical times. I was very strongly considering going there last summer. Needless to say, the ramifications of this are huge. While it is clear that the US and Iraq […]

Inside the far-Right stronghold where Hungarian Jews fear for the future

In Hungary, the Jew-hating, anti-Israel Jobbik party is gaining significant power. The link between Jobbik and Iran is particularly revealing and equally terrifying. How soon Europe has forgotten its past. European Jew-hatred, largely rooted in Christian supercessionist ideology, persecuted and chased so many of the Jews out of Europe. Not content however, the spirit of […]

Iran’s Plan to Destabilize Egypt

I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but he did as he pleased and magnified himself. Daniel 8:4 We know that Daniel 8:4 took place in history, but is it possible that Daniel 8:4 (and forward) […]

Terrorist Groups Rise 58% Since 2010

One of the principal narratives of the 2012 Obama re-election campaign — as in al Qaeda has been “decimated” and put on a “on the path to defeat” — has itself been decimated. According to a study released yesterday by the RAND Corporation, there has been a 58 percent increase in the number of jihadist […]

Jordanian Columnist: Muslims Need A Spiritual Leader Like The Pope To Unite Them

In an article he published on the occasion of Pope Fracis’s visit to Jordan on May 24-25, 2014, and in light of the respect commanded by the Pope across the Christian world, Jordanian columnist Hussein Al-Ruwashdeh wondered why the Muslims did not have a similar spiritual source of authority, and why they did not have […]

A new Turkish aggression against Syria: Ankara suspends pumping Euphrates’ water

I actually wasn’t aware that Turkey had control of the Euphrates via a dam. The Turkish government recently cut off the flow of the Euphrates River, threatening primarily Syria but also Iraq with a major water crisis. Al-Akhbar found out that the water level in Lake Assad has dropped by about six meters, leaving millions […]

What are Iranians like?

In my own experience, I have found that so many of the Christians that I run into have a picture in their minds of most Iranians as America-and-Israel-hating, radical Islamists. This picture could not be further from the truth however. Although the present ruling regime is no doubt staunchly Islamist, anti-Israel, and anti-American, the percentage […]

Christian Cultural Engagement

Few will argue that Christians must be about cultural engagement. But in doing so, we must always remember what true Christian cultural engagement actually looks like. For John the Baptist, cultural engagement looked like this. For Jesus, true cultural engagement meant public humiliation, scourging and crucifixion. We’ve all seen the Passion. (Do we really expect […]

International survey reveals 1 in 4 are anti-Semitic

This is shocking. Those who claim to follow Jesus must make this among their most premiere causes to confront and challenge. Otherwise, I would argue that they are not really even following Jesus. Anti-Semitism remains prevalent around the world with one in four adults surveyed in a new international study expressing anti-Jewish sentiment, according to […]

Saudi Wahhabi leaders see Turkish threat over caliphate

Bingo. The competing self-perceived alpha-dogs of the region are beginning to size one another up. As a voice begins to rise throughout the Islamic world for Erdogan to restore the Caliphate, the Wahhabi power mongers are none too pleased. In the last days, this conflict will eventually result in Saudi Arabia being attacked and destroyed […]

Turkey’s Erdogan calls on U.S. to extradite rival Fethullah Gulen

Wow. I cannot imagine that the US will comply. Rumor is that Gulen is here through the assistance of some powerful players in the CIA and State Department. One thing is for sure. No one could have seen this only one year ago. (Reuters) – Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday he would ask […]

BDS Movement Echoes Germany in the 1930s

Its so saddening that many young evangelicals are being lured away to join this movement. In the 1930s, thousands of Jewish professors were kicked out of German universities because they were Jews. Shamefully, today in the U.S., Jewish professors are threatened with being thrown out of scholarly conferences, prevented from publishing in scholarly journals, and […]

Jabhat Al-Nusra Releases Video Showing Its Takeover Of Military Post Near Golan Heights

From MEMRI On April 23, 2014, Jabhat Al-Nusra (JN) released a video documenting the group’s recent takeover of the Western Tal Al-Ahmar (“The Red Hill”), a Syrian military post near the Golan Heights in Al-Quneitra governorate. The video, which is 12:20 in duration and was released on Al-Fida’ forum, also incorporates several nasheeds (Islamic songs) […]

World Bank Director: Turkey to become Global Energy Hub

From the Daily Sabah It is for this reason that I have been saying for years that Turkey’s geostrategic placement is one of its greatest assists and one of the primary reasons why it promises to become one of the most powerful nations in the region in the years ahead. The old adage, “just follow […]

Fatah Chooses Hamas over Peace

Once again, after all of the negotiations, after all of the high hopes and expectations, given the option between peace and Hamas, Fatah has chosen to form a unity government with a group that has as its stated goal to commit a final genocide against the Jews. IN fact, they believe it is their divine […]
