BIBLE vs KORAN
The world
is embroiled in a war that is not sourced in terror, but in words. On the one
hand Abraham’s seed pleads out of confessed sin for their inheritance based on
God’s promise of the land of Israel to Isaac recorded and confirmed in the Old
Testament to His people. On the other hand, unrepentant seeds of Mohamed, the
self appointed prophet of a god, Allah,
by the sword demand possession of every portion of land on Earth. Mohamed’s
blood and fire war machine has successfully taken great areas of the lands of
the Earth until now. Now they are claiming the Land of Israel, God’s promised
inheritance to His people. The world stands in awe as the conflict unfolds.
Blood runs in the streets; the sky is thick with black clouds of smoke, obscuring
even the sun at times. Leaders of each god, the God of Israel and the god of
Mohamed endeavor to bring victory to their camp through mediation, but neither
leader will hear Him, the only mediator between man and God, the Lord, Jesus
Christ. Therefore there is no hope; it has come to God’s Word against Mohamed‘s word. The Holy Bible of
God against Mohamed’s Koran.
Soon is the
time that the Faith of Christ shall be revealed in all His power and Grace to
make war from His place at the right hand of the Father of Truth, to show the
world for His glory that His Word is the Word of the true and only God of the
universe, and the creator of Heaven and Hell. He is the final judge, the
revealer of those things which appear not and yet they are, of those things
which were brought to be and have not yet come, things ordained from old for
the future. The True God is the God of time and circumstances, the God of men,
His or not, the God of Heaven and Hell.
Satan has
his legions, God His Word; Satan has his demons, God His Saints; Satan his
possessions, God His universe. As children of God in Christ, as Christians we
must join with God as those grafted into His vine to lift praises to His name
on behalf of His people and heritage, that His name be glorified throughout all
the world, as men stand in the “Valley of Decision”. The Scripture following
best shows the power and determination set forth by God for His people and
land:
“For, behold, in those days, and in
that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I
will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage
Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they
have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a
girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O
Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a
recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your
recompence upon your own head; Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and
have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: The children also of
Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye
might remove them far from their border.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them,
and will return your recompence upon your own head: And I will sell your sons
and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell
them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it. Proclaim
ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the
men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and
your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble
yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round
about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up
to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen
round about. Put ye in the sickle, for
the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats
overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the
LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be
darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar
out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth
shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of
the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling
in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no
strangers pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with
milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall
come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of
Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation,
and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children
of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and
Jerusalem from generation to generation.
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD
dwelleth in Zion.” (Joel 3:1-21 KJV)
Christians, listen! Our
salvation is of the Jews, and there is no doubt about it; God has said so, and
so it is; Jesus told us so: “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we
worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:22 KJV). If we lose faith
in this fact, we have lost all that God has entrusted us with. We look for our
inheritance in Christ; yet His inheritance is Israel, His people, and their
inheritance is God and His Heaven. The whole of the New Covenant of Christ is
FAITH, FAITH, FAITH!! What faith? Faith that in spite of what appears to be in
the flesh is not so in the Spirit, faith that where there are no works of man,
God will work. We must have faith that we are the power of the Spirit of God by
the indwelling Holy Ghost for the purpose of spiritual battle on behalf of
Israel and her people. As we in that FAITH practice the warfare of prayer for
God’s people, and praise for what God is going to do, we will be God‘s
inheritance, and He will be our inheritance in Christ.
The
battle is on two fronts, physical and spiritual. Israel will fight the Old
Testament physical battles and those who are Israel through Christ will fight
the New Testament spiritual battles by faith, knowing that God has not deserted
His people; He has brought them back to their promised land in these last days
to show His glory to the world. Those who stand with Israel in spiritual
battle, led by the Spirit of God, will be glorified in His glory, others will
taste of His wrath, eternally. “And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary
his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in
Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;” (Luke 2:34 KJV) The
sign of our Lord, Spiritual regeneration, has been spoken against from the
beginning, as evidenced in Stephen’s stoning, and testified to by our Lord to
Nicodemus, that “Ye must be born again”. Though we speak not against this sign,
but speak against God’s people, Israel, we are to be most pitied, for His
coming was for this very purpose, “the rising again of many in Israel”.
Here
is where the middle wall of partition is broken down; here is where the
physical needs the spiritual, and the spiritual needs the physical, where
the law finds grace and Grace enfolds the law. “For he is our peace, who
hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between
us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making
peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:” (Ephesians 2:14-16 KJV) Christ’s coming
will not have been in vain; what God has ordained shall be. We have a
choice to join Christ in this battle, or die. “For
ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:3-4 KJV)
