MORE ARGUMENTS FOR THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE! THIS ONE IS TITLED "WHAT THE ANCIENT CHURCH FATHERS BELIEVED" BY MATT WARD FROM "RAPTURE READY"!

What the Ancient Church Fathers Believed - By Matt Ward -http://www.raptureready.com/soap2/ward35.html

  

 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

 I have recently read a significant amount of material about the supposed fallacy of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church. Some Christian commentators are saying quite openly that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture as a doctrine has now been fundamentally discredited. 

 The argument seems to be that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a doctrine that has only been taught and believed since the 1800s. Ostensibly, the argument is that a Pre-Tribulation Rapture is false because it is a "modern invention." 

 Proponents of this view teach that before 1800 and J. N. Darby (1800-1881), the Rapture was     not taught in the Christian church at all. They wrongly go on to state that a young Scottish women called Margaret MacDonald is the true originator of the modern Pre-Tribulation Rapture belief system and that she received this information through independent spiritual revelation. The unspoken assertion here is that this revelation was in fact demonic in origin.

 Some even going so far as to argue that the concept of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture was completely unknown and unheard of before 1800, therefore lacking any legitimate creditability for today's Church. These objections have, in these last days, become harsh and bitter.

 There  is however, a solid biblical basis for believing in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church.

 "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke21:36).

 "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth" (Revelation 3:10).

 "By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: 'He could not be found, because God had taken him away.' For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God" (Hebrews 11:5).

 The biblical basis for the Rapture of the Church is a subject that has been well-covered elsewhere; this is but a sample.

 There is also a wealth of biblical teaching that has from the very beginning been used to teach of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, using metaphors and imagery from Scripture.

 But what did the earliest ancient Church fathers believe regarding a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church? What did these men, some who were taught personally by the Apostles of Jesus Christ, believe? Were these men who became pillars of the early church Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation Rapture believers?

 Or did they not believe in a Rapture at all? 

 While we need to be remember that the writings of these ancient Church fathers are not on par with Scripture, it is nonetheless important that we know what the early church believed, especially about the Rapture of the Church.

 Irenaeus (130 A.D. - 202 AD)

 Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp. Polycarp learned his Christian faith from the apostle John, "...the disciple whom Jesus loved..." (John 21:7) As well as writing the gospel that bears his name and a number of early letters, John wrote the Book of Revelation. There could be no better tutor other than the Lord Jesus himself. Both Polycarp and Irenaeus knew John personally.

 Irenaeus later became bishop of the church in Lyons, France and is famous for his five volume treatise, Against Heresies, which described and challenged all false teaching from the emerging cults of his day.

 Irenaeus believed in the three and a half year reign of the Antichrist as ruler of the world before the Second Coming of Christ. He also believed in a literal millennial reign of Christ on earth following the Second Coming and in the resurrection of the just. Irenaeus also believed in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church. In  Against Heresies 5:29 he wrote:

And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, "There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be." For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption.

 Note Irenaeus' use of the , "caught up." It is the exact same Rapture terminology used in 1 Thessalonians 4. The word used is 1 Thessalonians 4, is "harpazo", meaning to be "caught up." Irenaeus believed that the Rapture of the Church occurred prior to the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

 Cyprian (200 AD - 258 AD)

 Cyprian, the bishop of the early church at Carthage was beheaded for his faith in 258 AD and was a great pillar of the early church. He shepherded his church through intense Roman persecution and was well known for his eloquent treatises in defense of the faith. In his work Treatise of Cyprian he wrote:

We who see that terrible things have begun, and know that still more terrible things are imminent, may regard it as the greatest advantage to depart from it as quickly as   possible. Do you not give God thanks, do you not congratulate yourself, that by an early departure you are taken away, and delivered from the shipwrecks and disasters that are imminent? Let us greet the day which assigns each of us to his own home, which snatches us hence, and sets us free from the snares of the world and restores us to paradise and the kingdom.

 Like Irenaeus, Cyprian, a highly prominent early church father believed in a "...early deliverance" for believers who would be "delivered" from judgments which would be devastating and global in nature. He taught that the Body of Christ would be delivered from the Day of the Lord. 

 Cyprian taught his followers that, "God has not appointed us to wrath, but salvation..." (1 Thess. 5:9), and joyfully encouraged his church to expect to be "taken away" before the Tribulation begins. Indeed, he exhorted his church to eagerly anticipate the mansions Jesus had gone to heaven to prepare for them individually, as detailed in John 14.

 Ephraim the Syrian (306 AD - 373 AD)

 There is a genuine sense of urgency about Ephraim's writings. A deacon in the large church in Syria he later became the bishop of the church at Nisibis. In his work,  The Last Times - Two, Ephraim wrote:

See to it that this sentence be not fulfilled among you of the prophet who declares: "Woe to   those who desire to see the day of the Lord!" For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that   is to overwhelm the world because of our sins. And so, brothers most dear to me, it is the eleventh hour, and the end of the world comes to the harvest, and angels, armed and prepared, hold   sickles in their hands, awaiting the empire of the Lord.

And we think that the earth exists with blind infidelity, arriving at its downfall early. Commotions are brought forth, wars of diverse peoples and battles and incursions of the barbarians threaten, and our regions shall be desolated, and we neither become very much afraid of the report nor of the appearance, in order that we may at least do penance; because they hurl fear at us, and we do not wish to be changed, although we at least stand in need of penance for our actions!

 Ephraim believed that all Christians should know that the Day of the Lord approached and should be able to recognize the signs of the times. He also clearly linked to Old Testament Day of the Lord with the New Testament forthcoming Great Tribulation.  

 This is just a flavor of early church teaching. Each and every church father, where their writings exists, testify to a belief in a Rapture of the church. Each of these fathers all place this Rapture of the church before the Day of the Lord, or the Great Tribulation.

 These writings on their own do not prove the existence of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, nor can they be regarded in any way as authoritative as Scripture. They do, however, clearly demonstrate that the teaching of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture is not a "modern invention" that supposedly began in the 1800s.

 What their writings also prove, without doubt, is that the teaching of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture has been a part of Christian beliefs since the earliest days of the Apostles.

 Jesus is coming soon...

 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:1-3).

 "For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

NOT CONTENT WITH GAY "COUPLES", WE NOW HAVE "GAY THROUPLES" COMING TO AMERICA!!! EXCLUSIVE REPORT FROM WND!!

Posted with permission from WND

By Paul Bremmer
Has the Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry paved the way for all kinds of non-traditional relationships to be legally recognized?
"If marriage is not the union of a man and a woman, why limit it to two people?" asked Michael Brown, a national talk radio host and author of "Outlasting the Gay Revolution." "What makes the number two unique or necessary? Why not marry yourself, as some women have recently done? Why not throuples? There are several examples of this in the last few years. Why not three women and two men? We see this already in polygamous relationships. Why not?"
Three "gay" men in Canada are asking that very question.
The three 20-something medical professionals live together in Nova Scotia as a threesome, and they now hope to start a family.

According to the London Daily Mail, Adam Grant and Shayne Curran got married in 2011. A year later they met Sebastian Tran in a nightclub and both fell for him. Grant and Curran then got divorced so they could let Tran into the fold as part of an equal, three-way relationship.
Polyamory is not legal in Canada, but the men claim they have lawyers who can draft paperwork to ensure all three are "equally bound and obligated to each other in the eyes of the law."
Tran said getting married legally is important to his partners and him.

Paul Kengor, a university professor and author of "Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage," said these types of unions are inevitable once a nation redefines marriage to mean anything other than one man and one woman.
"Once the standard becomes that marriage can be defined in whichever way a people or culture desire, then marriage is redefinable, period," Kengor told WND. "This is plainly inevitable. If liberals could get past emotion, and look at the sheer logic of what they're asserting, then they'll see that they've created the conditions for these types of new marriage configurations by smashing the standard of one-man-one-woman marriage."
Carl Gallups, a pastor, talk radio host and author of the forthcoming book "Be Thou Prepared," believes the U.S. soon may see odd configurations for marriage such as threesomes.
"This is exactly where we can expect the U.S. to go in the near future," Gallups told WND. "Why would it not go in this direction? What is to stop it from doing so? There is no longer a ‘normality standard' for marriage or domestic relationships – including the definition of family. In fact, I predict that U.S. conjugal relationship scenarios will eventually become even more bizarre than this example."

For the "gay" Canadians, it does get more bizarre than a simple longing for marriage. Last week, the men told the Daily Mail they want to conceive three children using their own genetics. The plan is for Curran's two sisters to carry the children and Tran's sister to donate her eggs as well.
Brown, who writes a WND column, worries about any child that may be born into that kind of scenario.
"The worst thing of all is that a child could be brought into this relationship, robbed of his or her mother, subjected to a poor example of family structure, and living in a situation that has all the potential for real instability and guaranteed confusion," he said.
Kengor said leftists now have their work cut out for them to stop a slide down a slippery slope, if they want to limit "gay" marriage to monogamous relationships.
"Liberals will now need to explain to threesomes like these how and by what standard they can be denied their ‘marriage rights' and their ‘marriage equality,'" Kengor challenged. "Liberals need to explain to these three men and their would-be children why their love is not legitimate. Does ‘love win' here or not? If not, then why?"
Gallups pointed out there may be a larger social agenda behind what the Canadian lovers are doing. As the Daily Mail reported, "The trio hope to show that polyamory is a perfectly acceptable choice of life and love."

"Why should we be surprised by this?" Gallups asked rhetorically. "The radical gay agenda in the United States has admitted, long before the SCOTUS ruling, that nationwide gay marriage legalization was just the beginning of their greater plan. Their declared agenda has always been stated as a radical broadening of the definition of legalized domestic relationships as well as a direct targeting of the institutions they felt might be standing in their way, namely the Christian church, our nation's Christian heritage, and the standard biblical message."

Gallups noted the "standard biblical message" about marriage can be found in Matthew 19:4, straight from the lips of Jesus: "Have you not read, that in the beginning God made them male and female? For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and the two will become one flesh."
"Jesus' declaration is irrefutable: The definition of a legitimate marriage (from the One who invented marriage) is one woman and one man – period," Gallups said.
But the pastor believes too many people ignore the Word of God and choose to do what is right in their own eyes.

"Knowing what I know about the nature of people who deny the Word of God as the authority of their life, and what I know about the declarations of the Word of God itself, they will do whatever they can dream up – and whatever they can get away with," Gallups warned. "Simply put, we have ‘been given over to a depraved mind,' just as the Bible predicted (Romans 1:18-32)."
Gallups believes it is essential for the Christian church to speak up for traditional marriage and traditional families.
"While today's church must always be ready to reach out with the gospel message and the love of Jesus Christ to all people who are struggling in any matter of sin, it must never relent from proclaiming the clear biblical truth of the eternally important matters of the very foundations of life and society: home, marriage and family," Gallups said.
"Without these truths as the bedrock foundations of our culture, we will plunge into absolute madness.

GEOFFREY GRIDER ON WHY THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH IS FOUND IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION!

New post on Now The End Begins

The Pretribulation Rapture Of The Church As Found In The Book Of Revelation by Geoffrey Grider Had the Jews accepted the preaching of Stephen, instead of rejecting it and stoning him, the day of the Lord would have happened right there in Acts 7, and the Church Age would never have happened. "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."Revelation 4:1,2 (KJV) In our day and age, the Church Age, as inconceivable as it might sound, there are many Christians who assail and attack the Bible doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ. Scoffers go on to say, and wrongly so, that this doctrine was not taught before Mary McDonald and John Nelson Darby spoke about it in the early 1830's. Some even say it was an invention of CI Scofield in his reference study Bible. Again, these statements have no bearing on the truth of any kind, as this article will endeavor to point out. Part of the "confusion" for some comes because there is more than one rapture in the Bible, and there is more than one time the phrase "come up hither" is used. A healthy dose of 2 Timothy 2:15 is the sure antidote for this pressing malady. So let's get started, shall we? "...Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." The three 'Come Up Hithers' and the three Raptures in the Bible In God's preserved word as found in the King James Bible, the phrase "come up hither" only appears three times, and here they are: "For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen." Proverbs 25:7 (KJV) "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."Revelation 4:1 (KJV) "And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."Revelation 11:12 (KJV) And amazingly enough, there are three raptures in the Bible as well. Though I am sure this is just a "coincidence". Here they are: THE FIRST RAPTURE: This has already taken place, and it had nothing to do with the Church. "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." Matthew 27:50-54 (KJV) THE SECOND RAPTURE: This is the one for the Church, and it will take place before the time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7 KJV). Jacob's Trouble is the same thing as the Great Tribulation mentioned in Matthew 24. "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." Revelation 4:1 (KJV) The THIRD RAPTURE: This will take place during the time of Jacob's Trouble, while the Church is in Heaven. "And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven." Revelation 11:11-13 (KJV) The astute student of the Bible will notice that both the first and third raptures occur in the presence of an earthquake. Perhaps it has something to do with this: "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven." Hebrews 12:26 (KJV) God's voice "shook the Earth" when Jesus was on the cross, and it will "shake it again" during the time of Jacob's trouble. But for the Church's rapture, no shaking at all. A voice like a trumpet that only saved believers can hear, and we are g-o-n-e gone. Are you starting to see the difference in God's plan for the Jews and His plan for the Church? They clearly are not the same. This is begins to make sense when we understand that building a church was not why Jesus came. He came for His people, the Jews. Creating the Church was the backup plan when they rejected. So in effect we are a 2,000 year comma inserted in between the sandwich of Israel lost and Israel redeemed. Peter declared in Acts 2 that the "day of the Lord" spoken of by "Joel the prophet" was already coming to pass in that day. And had the Jews accepted the preaching of Stephen, instead of rejecting it and stoning him, the day of the Lord would have happened right there in Acts 7, and the Church Age would never have happened. But it didn't. Acts 8 the first gentile gets saved, and in Acts 9 Saul becomes Paul and...here we are! Now that we have "set the table", let's take a look at our Rapture, the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, as found in Revelation chapters 4 and 5. We start with John. John is a type of the Church and experiences a type of the Rapture The apostle John was not like any of the other 11 apostles, he was special and the Bible says so. In fact, the Bible says it multiple times, look it up. "Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord." John 21:7 (KJV) The Church that Jesus eventually did create He loved very much, with a very special love that is likened unto the marriage between a man and a woman. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Ephesians 5:25 (KJV) Because of John's special relationship with Jesus, he is the apostle that lived the longest, and is the only apostle that didn't die at the hands of the Romans. Furthermore, Jesus hand picks him to receive the Revelation of the time of the end. Pretty special, don't you think? Just like the Church, pretty special and verydifferent. John had tribulation with a small "t" but he didn't die like the others did, right? Likewise the Church, though it always has had tribulation will not go through THE Tribulation for much the same reason. Think about that. In Revelation 4, versus one and two, John as a type of the Church is called up to Heaven in a type of the Rapture. What John experienced then is what the apostle Paul says will happen for the Church when the actual rapture takes place for us: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 (KJV) It is at this juncture that most rapture debates get a "flat tire" and drive off into the ditch. People here will start to argue about the "trumpets" and "voices" mentioned in the Bible. But we are going to bypass that and focus on what most people miss. We are going to look at what John saw when he got there. "And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, andone sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald." Revelation 4:2,3 (KJV) John is not in Paradise, he is not in Abraham's Bosom, John is in Heaven at the Throne of God Himself. Which, another amazing coincidence, is exactly where Paul says all saved believers go immediately when they die. Hmm... "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (KJV) In Revelation 5, the wonderment continues and John sees an enormous throng of people and they are "singing a new song". What are the words to that song you ask? Listen and see... "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Revelation 5 9,20 (KJV) This "new song" tells you exactly who this crowd of people in Revelation 5 is, for it can be no other. It is the only group in human history that was "redeemed by the blood of the Lamb". The Christian Church! Furthermore, it says that these people God has made into "kings and priests" who "shall reign on the earth". A huge time clue here is the use of the phrase "and we shall reign", let me tell you why. If this is a vision of the Church in Heaven at the Rapture, then we would not be reigning with Christ, as the Bible says we will, until many years in the future from the moment when the Thousand Year Reign of Christ (Revelation 20) starts. And what about the "kings and priests"? Why, that is exactly how Peter describes the Church in the Age of Grace. Read it and see: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but arenow the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." 1 Peter 2:9,10 (KJV) Did you catch that? Peter says we are a "royal priesthood", kings and priests indeed. The apostle Paul tells us right in 2 Timothy that saved believers will reign with Jesus Christ in the Millennium. "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:" 2 Timothy 2:11,12 (KJV) (The right to rule and reign with Jesus is connected with how well you do at the Judgment Seat of Christ, for more on that click here.) John mentions the word "church" 7 times in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, and after Revelation 4 starts, the word "church" is never mentioned again. The Church itself is not seen on Earth until the end of Revelation 19. And what happens between the start of Revelation 6 to the end of Revelation 19 is the time of Jacob's trouble, which is a time of testing and refinement for the nation of Israel. The rapture the Jews get is the Third Rapture mentioned above, the same one mentioned in Matthew 24. But it is not our rapture, just like the first one was not either. But the Church of Jesus Christ, the very same Church you and I are a part of right now, is mentioned in great, graphic detail in Revelation 5. If Revelation 4 is not the Rapture of the Church, then what is the Church doing up there in chapters 4 and 5? There is no other group that has been a). redeemed by His blood, b). made kings and priests of God, and c). get to rule and reign with Jesus in the Millennium. That is exactly how Paul and Peter describe the Church. Obviously, and for the reasons we've shown here, the Rapture of the Churchhappens before the start of the Tribulation in Revelation 6. And when you "rightly divide" your Bible as Paul commands us to, this is exactly the conclusion you come to.

"TIME IS UP" BY THE ALWAYS READ-ABLE WENDY WIPPEL FROM "THE OMEGA LETTER"!

Time's up? - Wendy Wippel -http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8134

 

Fouad Hussein was your average Jordanian journalist until jailed in 1996-a jail also occupied by Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, top A.-Qaeda operative. He recognized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and spent the next few years infiltrating Al-Qaeda-- to the top-and then wrote a book, detailing their intentions. My advice? Go ahead and spend your retirement.

 

What Fouad discovered, over the time he spent in that den of snakes, was that Al-Qaeda (as it may seem if you watch much prime-time news), is not just a random collection of bloodthirsty jihadists that (maybe because they watched too many American movies) get their jollies by killing as many people as possible  and watching things explode. What Fouad found-and documented-was that Al -Qaeda, in fact, had put together a comprehensive and detailed business plan.

 

But their plan wasn't concerned with mere profits. No. They had much loftier goals. Al-Qaeda had put together a detailed plan for restoring the former Caliphate (translation: Islamic Empire) that had ruled a big chunk of the world until it was dismantled after World War I.

 

But a bigger, better caliphate. Because the caliphate they envision will encompass the whole world.

 

Their plan consists of seven phases.

 

Phase 1: The Awakening 

 

Phase 1 intends to awaken the west to Muslim power and ambition, and to awaken those not already on board in the Muslim world to the glory to be obtained by ridding the world of infidels, establishing an islamic Caliphate as a one-world government, and bringing all the world's citizens under Sharia Law.

 

Phase 2: Opening Eyes

 

The goal of Phase 2 is to, through key tactical victories and liberal use of propaganda, replace mainstream ideology in the Arab world with the radical, jihadist ideology, espoused by Al-Qaeda until that jihadist ideology becomes mainstream.  According to the plan, this will serve to both 1) commit the Muslim world to restoring the caliphate and 2) alarm the west into initiating some sort of military response.

 

Phase 3: Islam Arises

 

The focus of Phase 3 is to foment revolution in nearby Muslim countries that have either secular governments (e.g. Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Burkini Faso), or anti-Islamic governments (basically Israel).

 

Phase 4: Collapse 

 

Phase 4 will consist of (given that the plan has up till now succeeded in achieving its intended goals) watching secular governments in the Arab world topple as popular revolts (read that insurrection by Islamic fundamentalists) put new leaders in power and more extremists into the Al-Qaeda fold.

 

Phase 5: The Caliphate Established

 

In Phase 5,the success of efforts to radicalize the Islamic sphere and dwindling will in the west to wage war against radical Islam enable and official declaration of an Islamic State, setting the stage for increasing ideologic division of the world into the Muslim righteous (dar-al al islam) and the nonbelievers (dar al-har) who must be eradicated.

 

Phase 6: Confrontation

 

The rapid rise to prominence of the caliphate leads to world war, as the west finally recognizes the end of western civilization and unites to fight the Muslim agressors.

 

Phase 7

 

Simple. They win. Islam and Sharia law rule the world.

 

Sounds crazy, right? 

 

It gets worse. The Al-Qaeda plan had a timeline, too. Start to finish, their intent was to rule the entire world within 20 years.

 

Rule the world in 20 years?  Their god must be crazy!!

 

What we need to remember is that their god is Lucifer himself.  Crazy he is, no doubt. But, unfortunately, until his rabid little behind is chained, powerful he is as well.

 

Which would explain why this crazy twenty-year plan to world dominance is right on schedule. Also crazy, but unfortunately true:

 

Phase 1: The Muslim Awakening?

 

 Phase 1 was slated for 2000-2003. And on September 11, 2001, as we all remember, the west woke up (literally) to an awareness that the world had changed. And it had changed courtesy of an Islamic group called Al-Qaeda. (The role of 9/11 in awakening the Muslim world to the possibility of Islamic dominance in the world evidenced by the ongoing celebration of September 11 in the Muslim world.)

 

Phase 2: Opening Eyes. 

 

Phase 2, scheduled to consume 3 years (2003-2006) was to consolidate Islamic commitment to the caliphate, partially by inducing the west to mount some kind of military response to 9/11. A coalition of forces from the U.S., the U.K., Australia and others invaded Iraq on March 19, 2003. According to Fouad, Al-Qaeda was very pleased that their plan worked so well. The devastating events of 9/11 had convinced the west to launch an attack.

 

Phase 3: Islam Arises

 

Phase 3, slated for 2007-2010, if you remember, purposed to encourage fundamentalist revolutions in Islamic populations of secular countries.

 

Phase 4: Collapse of all infidel governments:

 

Phase 4, to begin in 2011 and end in 2013, was  intended to consist of successive topplings of secular Islamist governments by internal populist insurrections, adding  extremist Islamic revolutionaries to the Al-Qaeda fold.

 

The demise of Saddam Hussein and the collapse of his rule in Iraq produced a spreading instability in the area, with the season we know as euphemistically as "Arab Spring" actually consisting of a series of government shake ups in Arab governments that resulted in a significant move toward Islamic fundamentalism and radicalization of the government. .

 

Namely?

 

1) Egypt, 2011: Hosni Mubarak out, Moslem Brotherhood in.

 

2) Libya: 2011: Islamic Fighting Group now a prominent player in government.  Ditto Tunisia and Morocco.

 

3) Yemen 2014: Moderate President Selah forced to step down, extremely fundamentalist Houthis take control.

 

4) Syria, 2011: Civil War designed to weaken the reign of the non-sunni Assad (also an infidel in Al-Qaeda's book) as the ruler of what consists, to fundamentalists, as appetizers to be consumed before Islamist consumption of the main course, Israel.

 

5) Turkey: Prime Minister Recep Tayipp Erdogan (while not deposed) made an Arab Spring tour of Arab countries in which he increasingly espoused support for Palestinians. Solidarity with Islamic countries, indifference towards EU membership  and animosity towards Israel.

 

To name a few.

 

Erdogan, in fact, admitted that democracy was never seriously in view in these Islamic countries, where Sharia law is the only rule of law acceptable. From Erdogan's lips, "the calls for democracy that the White House celebrated, were only the train we board to reach our destination."

 

Their destination being the whole world under caliphate rule.

 

Phase 5: The Caliphate Established

 

Phase 5, planned to occur between 2011 and 2013--was a time believed to be a point at which, due to ongoing pro-Jihadist propaganda in the east (particularly through social media) combined with dwindling willingness to commit resources to fighting radical is Islam in the west, at which the Al-Qaeda vision of an Islamic empire would have gained enough momentum to formally establish an Islamic State. And it had.  Al-Qaeda itself, Osama bin Ladin having met his rightful end in 2011, lost momentum, but their ideology, as hoped in Phase 2, was now mainstream and a new group called ISIS carried its flag. ISIS established and formally declared a new Islamic State in 2014, with its capital in al-Raqqa in Syria.

 

And the sickening brutality that has been the ISIS hallmark is calculated, meant to  leave no doubt that if you're within ISIS reach your choices are either submit to Allah and sharia law or die. Thereby setting the stage for increasing ideologic division of the world into the Muslim righteous (dar-al al islam) and the nonbelievers (dar al-har) who must be eradicated.

 

Pretty good track record so far, eh? But as 2015 comes to a close, will their record hold? Time will tell. But the next phase, phase 6-- scheduled for 2016-2019---was forecast as a time, with the Islamic State established and growing in influence and power, that the west will finally unite to fight the Islamic threat.  And worldwide war ensues.  And phase 7? Of course they win, all infidels are disposed of, and Islam rules the world.

 

Fortunately, we know that's not God's plan. But God does describe a period of time in which a servant of Satan, pretending to be a white knight (riding a white horse)    will eventually bring the whole world under his thumb.

 

Are they the same guy?  Are the somehow otherwise connected? I don't know, but it would seem that the end is really drawing near.

 

After all, Phase 7 is scheduled to end in 2020. And I know we're all ready to go,

 

But what was it Paul said?

 

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body." Phil1:21- 25.

 

We have the words of life in a dying world.  What could be more important?

HAMAS DECLARE THAT SUICIDE BOMBINGS AGAINST ISRAEL AND THEIR JEWISH CITIZENS BEGINS NOW!!

Hamas: Suicide Bombings Against Israelis Begin Now!!

By Lea Speyer
“But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.” (Psalm 37:13)

The Hamas terror organization has ordered its followers to resume suicide bombings against Israelis following a wave of violence and terror across the country.

Quoting unnamed Israeli sources, Ynet reported Monday that Hamas terrorists in Hebron and Nablus have been ordered to carry out suicide missions in crowded areas in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.

A Palestinian Authority security official also revealed that PA forces recently busted a Hamas ring in Hebron, finding in their possession large quantities of money and explosives. Six of the terror cell members admitted under interrogation their wish to die.

Hamas has praised the terror attacks recently striking Israel, with group officials calling for an armed resistance against Israel. On Sunday, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas leader, said the current “popular Intifada” should turn into militarized conflict.

Last week, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas leader in Gaza, urged the “strengthening and increasing of the intifada.” During a Friday sermon at a mosque in Gaza, Haniyeh declared that armed resistance was the “only path that will lead to liberation.”

Over the last two weeks, Hamas has called for two “days of rage” against Israel, urging Palestinians to carry out terror attacks against Israelis as well as riot against IDF soldiers.

The new call for suicide bombings comes after a Channel 10 report revealed Palestinian security officials believe Hamas terrorists are planning a large scale terror attack against Israelis in Judea and Samaria.

Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days

SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of our own.

Collision course: Large Hadron Collider could discover parallel universe

The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect - or even create - miniature black holes.

If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.

It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say. The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.

But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC."Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised."This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.The top 15 early UFO sightingsPhoto: 1 / 15

“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.

“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity's rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].

“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct."

When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts

So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.

But the latest study says this is too low.

Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.
