Book Review:The Rise and Fall of The Nephilim by Scott A. Roberts

Offering us a chance to take a closer look at the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis is a great idea. The topic is interesting and timely and Mr. Roberts is a good storyteller. I wish I could say he has written an excellent book on the subject but his lack of integrity in his personal approach to scripture brings confusion to a topic he is attempting to shed light on. Starting with the Holy Bible, the Book of Enoch and Jubilees, he uses the right resources, but his interpretations of his sources are disappointing. Jumping back and forth between calling the Nephilim angels and aliens, as well as categorizing them as "lesser gods," when they were created to be God's servants, only serves to hide the truth about their origins and purpose.

It would take a book to clear up unfounded claims made by Mr. Roberts in this book so I'll limit myself to only discussing a handful or so. 

1. Serpent Seed Theory: This theory is unsupportable in Genesis or anywhere else in scripture. If Cain was truly the son of Eden's serpent (Fallen Angel or Satan), why wasn't he a giant or a mighty warrior like the sons of the other fallen angels mentioned in Genesis and the Book of Enoch? Why was Cain upset when his offering was not acceptable to God? Why would he even make an offering? Why would he care if God rejected it? And, why would God need to put a mark on Cain to protect his life if he was a mighty Nephilim?
2. The Fall Involved Adultery: Are we to believe that Adam let the serpent seduce Eve in his presence? If Eve's sin was adultery, what was Adam's sin? Contrary to Mr. Robert's assertions, Adam's sin brought death into the world because he sinned willfully; whereas, according to Paul, Eve sinned because she was deceived by the serpent. (Deceived not seduced!) The story of the fall is clearly told in Genesis. The sin was disobedience and did not involve sex. No decoder is needed to understand the passage.
3. Daughters of Men: Remarks about the "daughters of men" throughout the book were sexist! It was implied that the women were lusty and chose to have relations with the fallen angels. (You know how women are!) Their perversity defiled the earth and led its destruction in the flood. It seems there is always a reason to blame women. The Holy Bible; however, says the fallen angels saw them and "TOOK" them. If it was humanly possible to stop them, why weren't the men intervening to save them? And, why does the Bible say, "men's thoughts were continually evil"?
4. Moses:  Mr. Roberts paints Moses as a power hungry, arrogant, "Egyptianized" sociopath who sought to be a Pharoah-God to the slaves. The Holy Bible says Moses was the meekest man on earth, willing to give up all the wealth of Egypt to suffer with his brethren. Moses was saved from destruction as a baby and called by God to lead the people out of Egypt. Although he was reluctant at first, Moses took on the leadership role in obedience to God.  If the Holy Bible is true, Roberts is wrong, which devalues his book.  
5. Theophany: Mr. Roberts refers to Moses' having "face to face" encounters with God from the pillar of cloud at the door of the tabernacle as one more ploy to elevate himself in the eyes of the people. Then, if that's not bad enough, he "questions" how God could let Moses see His face on those occasions and then turnaround and deny him that same experience on Mount Sinai. The answer is that Moses wasn't asking for the same experience. Moses knew he was seeing a theophany at the tabernacle and he asked YHWH to let him see HIS FACE in HIS ETERNAL GLORY! YHWH refused but allowed him the unprecedented experience of glimpsing HIS BACKSIDE. (A theophany is an appearance of God in a physical form that a man can look upon and relate to. Seeing God as HE IS IN HIMSELF is not allowed for a mortal man.)   
6. Marriage of Jesus:  Without proof it is conjectured that Jesus was married. A rule that rabbis were required to be married is offered as proof. The fact that Jesus was set forth for ministry by His Father in heaven and not by a synagogue seems lost here. The people called Jesus Rabbi because he taught them, not because of an official religious affiliation. 
7. Misjudging the Prophet Elisha: I realize it is politically incorrect nowadays to hold people accountable for their actions but that was not the case in ancient Israel. Mr. Roberts attributes evil behavior to Elisha when his encounter with a group of mocking youths leads to their deaths. Roberts fails to see the incident from a divine perspective. Elisha had been the Prophet Elijah's servant. When God miraculously took Elijah to heaven in a whirlwind, Elisha received a double portion of God's Spirit operating in his life compared to Elijah. That means he was a powerful prophet in Israel and should have been treated with the utmost respect by all the people. However, in this incident a large gang of youths mocked Elisha as he walked past their town. They taunted him saying, "Go up, baldhead. Go up." This was blatant disrespect for him and for God's act of taking Elijah to heaven. (It is also possible they were consistent trouble makers and Elisha had prior experience with the, had heard of them, or was given spiritual insight concerning their prior deeds.) At any rate, after some time, Elisha pronounced judgement on their actions and 2 female bears came out of the woods and killed 42 of them. (42 is not a few. That's a gang!) Roberts needs to rethink his comments on this passage and on many others.   
8. For Christian Fundamentalists "nothing exists outside the bounds of written scriptural text". I disagree with this statement (and several others Mr. Roberts makes about Christians) because it is mistaken. We do believe facts that contradict scripture are wrong. However, we are not so closed minded as to believe that scripture covers everything that's out there. There are many avenues to discover various aspects of the truth. Nature itself, rightly observed, reveals much.  And, the Holy Bible mentions additional resources like the Book of Enoch, Jasher and Jubilees, which expand our knowledge of certain issues lightly covered in the scriptures. These books are available today (in the last days-- like the days of Noah-- which Mr. Roberts referenced so many times) because God has preserved them for us according to His plan. And they are worth reading. 

I was disappointed by the disparaging remarks about God's nature, His Word, the church and Christians scattered throughout the book. Mr. Roberts could have expressed his doubts and questions in less derogatory terms if he chose to. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Early on in the book he says, "I still cling to my Judeo-Christian roots," and acknowledges his belief in the Trinity. But, he follows these statements with complaints about being "someone's toy." Then he ends the book by announcing that his research has exposed him to information that has overwhelmed his faith and left him with serious doubts. I can only say that when one removes the cornerstone, the building will collapse.

The fallen angels and the Biblical giants reveal a clear pattern of spiritual warfare that impacted the early earth and continues today. Satan can transform himself into an Angel of Light to deceive his victims. Certainly his followers can transform themselves into secular aliens to deceive mankind in the last days. Evolution has laid a strong foundation to get people to fall for such a lie. If Scott Roberts had been true to the Bible and brought in more UFO information with theories as to how fallen angelic beings posing as aliens could be attempting to undermine the Christian faith with their deceptive alien disguise that would have been truly helpful to unaware Christians and sceptics alike. Many are unaware of the genetic manipulation and seeding reportedly going on. He missed a great opportunity.  

And how about giving God and the early Jews some credit for slowing the corruption of the post flood world by killing off so many wicked giants when they conquered Canaan? No one seems to go there!

Shredding foundations of faith and offering nothing substantial to replace them helps no one, not even Mr. Roberts. He needs to realize he has fallen prey to the deception inherent in his subject matter and truly return to his former faith. There is no God other than YHWH. He knows the end from the beginning and the proof is found in His Word. It is filled with prophecies that have already been fulfilled and many that are yet to come. Allowing ancient corrupted copycat religions and legal systems to undermine one's faith is foolish. The truth stands above all!

There is much to be learned but I advise readers to beware the false reasoning underlying much of Mr. Roberts "doubtful" conjectures.

"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." Eph 6:12 NLT

"Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.  For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority." Col 2:8-10 NLT

I can't really recommend this book because it may shake your faith. If you choose to read it, I advise you to reread all scriptures referred to and to discard the dross.

God Will Destroy Nations That Come Against Jerusalem

This blog is a combination of several comments I made on another blog about the negative observations made about Netanyahu by French leader, Nicolas Sarkozy, and President Obama. The author of the blog I read approved of the remarks made about Netanyahu.

He said the leaders of the world are "sick of Israel" and he called Israel "evil" and a "scumbag." He accuses Israel: of abusing Muslim and Christian citizens, of stealing land, of building a wall to block humanitarian aid from the Gaza strip and to cut off their water supply, and of dishonorably attacking the activists who were trying to break a blockade of Gaza. He further accuses Israel of cruelty, brutality, injustice, murder, and Nazi behavior (genocide).

I find myself unable to remain silent when faced with blatantly false and defamatory statements. I am sharing my lightly edited responses in the remainder of this blog. Some of my comments have been stated before but truth must be often restated when lies abound.

The accusations being made against Israel are totally false.

If Israel is as bad as is mentioned, there would be no need for a wall in Israel because no Muslim Arabs would even survive there. The truth is that Israel welcomes people of all faiths. Only Islamic countries regularly ban, persecute, and slaughter people of other faiths.

If you haven’t read my article on Israel’s Forever Land, I encourage you to read it.

Israel does not block humanitarian aid to the “Palestinians.” She spends millions helping support them — as we in the USA do. But, there is no appreciation from Muslims, only more attacks. Israel allows humanitarian aid from other countries to go to the Arabs in Gaza. She only tries to keep out additional weapons of destruction for use against Israeli citizens. Any rational country would do that.

The attacks on Netanyahu are shameful. What did he lie about? Sarkozy and Obama should both be ashamed of such juvenile conversation. As world leaders, they are the ones who look bad for talking about Netanyahu behind his back.

“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil...” Exodus 23:2

No matter how many nations or their leaders turn against Israel, they are wrong and will not bring her down because she is under God’s protection.

The most powerful Muslim nations surrounding her tried to destroy her in 1948, 1967 and 1973. They failed! Why? Because she is under God’s protection.

Many nations will come against her again in the not too distant future and will bring destruction on themselves. The Bible predicts this situation and the Bible’s predictions never fail!

I am not against Muslim people, or even against the Arabs trying to steal Israel's land. I truly desire their salvation, but it will not happen if they persist in persecuting Israel.

As this debate rages, there are no facts which will convince eyes which refuse to see or ears which refuse to hear. Truth seekers find truth. Truth avoiders surrender themselves to a strong delusion.

The Turkish-led attempt to break through Israel’s blockade was not to deliver humanitarian aid. It was to make Israel look bad in the eyes of the world. And, because of one-sided reporting by the media, it seems they have been successful in painting Israel in a bad light.

Israel offered to assist the liberal activists (blockade runners) in delivering any humanitarian aid they had brought with them. They only boarded the ship to inspect for possible weapons. The Israelis who boarded the ship were brutally attacked with knives and pipes by the prepared activists -- and then blamed for the outcome!

Note:   "U.N. investigation concluded that Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, and thus its intervention to stop a Turkish-led flotilla last year, was legal."  Washingston Post Sep 12, 2011 Entitled: Once Again, Israel Is Scapegoated.

Israel is the Jewel of the Middle East. No other country offers the freedoms she guarantees her population of Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc. Over a million Arabs live peacefully within her borders and have all the rights of citizenship. No Muslim country offers such benefits to non-Muslims.

It's true God cares for the oppressed and God condemns all forms of unrighteous behavior whether one is rich or poor. We do not always see clearly; but, in the end, Jesus will make all things right.

At present, however, the wicked often prosper. God does not bribe people to serve Him by always providing immediate benefits. And, God uses wicked nations to “discipline” His people. This is clearly revealed in the writings of the Old Testament prophets. The prophets lamented when God used nations more wicked than Israel to discipline her. It was hard for them to understand. But, God assured them the wicked nations would not prosper forever and would be punished in due time. And they have been, and will be.

Only a self-deluded world can see Israel as a wicked nation.The entire Middle East doesn’t automatically belong to Muslim Arabs. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed the land was divided and almost all of it was given to the Arab nations. Only a small part of the Jews original land was returned to the Jews and, even at that, they didn’t get it all for free. If anyone had a claim at all and wanted to sell it, the Jews bought the land from them. Otherwise, those living on the land stayed. Arabs were never forced out. No land was stolen from Arabs (falsely calling themselves Palestinians).

The area was a desert wasteland. The Jews who returned labored hard to restore it to a productive condition and, finally, they became a modern nation. The Arabs who lived among them were not asked to leave and many stayed– even when Israel was attacked by her Muslim neighbors in 1948 and 1967. Only about 350,000 Arabs fled the country during the war. It was their choice. And now, when most of the self-made refugees are dead, the Arab world claims that 5 million Arabs should have a Right of Return! Never in the history of the world has such an outrageous claim been made on behalf of refugees.

At least twice as many Jews were forced out of Arab nations in 1948. They fled to Israel and were accepted there. The Arabs who left Israel could have settled in Jordan, which is a “Palestinian” state, or in other Arab nations which are much larger than Israel. The Arab world created the refugee problem just to punish Israel and make her look bad. I am sorry for the problems faced by the “refugees” but they should have been absorbed by the Arab nations long ago. Even King Hussein of Jordan said that was true.

The Jews need a homeland. God gave the land of Israel to them. Trying to make them into the bad guy when all they are trying to do is survive in their own land is injustice on a very large scale. Again, over a million Arabs live peacefully in Israel. If she is so wicked, that would not be the case.

The Bible foretold that God would bring the Jews back to their homeland and He did. The Bible says it is theirs forever and they will never be forced out of it again. God will defend them! The Bible is God's Word and God does not lie. So, those who are trying to destroy Israel cannot win.

See Zechariah 12: 6-9

"In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem.  The LORD (YEHOVAH) also will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah.  In that day the LORD (YEHOVAH) will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD (YEHOVAH) before them. And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."

If you doubt God's Word, I pray you will open your mind and ask God to give you an understanding of the truth. 

Islam's Days Are Numbered

Swords into Plowshares

Most of the visits to my blog of late have been from readers interested in my Islamic blogs, and based on world events, I can understand why.

With the USA having spent in the neighborhood of one trillion dollars in the last 10 years fighting wars against Islamic terrorism in Muslim countries;

And, with Palestinians trying to bypass peace negotiations with Israel and force the UN to recognize them as a nation state without even having to agree that Israel has a right to exist;

And, with Islamic rebels having been brought into power in Libya with NATO assistance using their new found powers to slaughter black African Sudanese Christians among other atrocities;

And, with newly empowered and emboldened Muslims in Egypt stepping up the persecution and killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt;

And with Tunisia and other countries coming under Islamic control since Obama came into office;

And, with Islamic jihad bombs regularly exploding around the world in an attempt to force countries to bow to Islamic demands:

And with anti-Semitism on the rise again;

It's not a wonder that people worldwide are interested in Islamic blogs that expose the truth:

Especially when so many of our western political, religious, academic and media talking heads around the world and in the USA are complicit with Muslim leaders in describing Islam as a "Religion of Peace." (They expect us to believe the BIG LIE they are telling us-- simply because they keep repeating it. That tactic worked in Nazi Germany. We had better hope and pray we have learned something from history!)

I'm only one voice but I want to use the freedom of speech we still enjoy to speak the truth which political correctness is trying to deny us.

Contrary to all the reassuring voices abroad in the land today, Islam is not a religion of peace. Rather, it is a tool of the devil. Islam will have no peace with any other belief system, religious or otherwise, because Islam demands submission from all to Allah and his requirements. And since even Muslims differ about what those requirements are, they can't even make peace among themselves-- much less will they ever bring peace to the world. Again, Islam is not a religion of peace.

Islam not only lacks peace, it also lacks the freedom it purports to offer. According to Islam, its followers have been set free from all the requirements of all other religions and the traditions of men. The catch is, all the world must live under the Sharia Law of Allah, and those laws are strictly enforced with all the authority of the government.

Yes, Islam is a tyrannical religious/political system. It favors Muslim males. Its laws are especially hard on women and Non-Muslims (second class citizens who are denied basic human rights and only allowed to live as long as they honor and obey Muslims, and pay the special taxes required of them), but no one is truly safe under such a system. Corrupt officials endanger the lives of all who find themselves subject to Sharia Law and there is no higher authority to appeal to.

Islam not only lacks peace and freedom, it fails to place a high value on human life. Islam is not grounded in moral teachings from a God who values all human life. Rather, it is a religion that glorifies death! Its adherents rejoice when "unbelievers" perish. And, they celebrate the death of their own who die killing others. Untold millions have already perished globally in the 1400 years since this bloody, tyrannical system was developed in the desert land of the Hagarites, known today as Saudi Arabia. How many more will be destroyed before the light finally conquers this malignant force of darkness?

Islamic jihadists kill without provocation. They kill randomly and they kill based on the clear teachings of the Qur'an and as the obedient warriors of Allah. They are not Islamic extremists. They are actually Islamic fundamentalists. In fact, following the example of their prophet, they kill without compassion or remorse and even rejoice in the name of their god; before, during and after their deadly attacks.

And, jihadists believe they will be blessed for the murders they commit. Those who die in the act of killing are considered to be martyrs and have been promised they will bypass any suffering in hell and go straight into the arms of 70 virgins prepared especially for them. They also hope to be able to deliver a few close relatives from hell, as well. That is quite an incentive! (Without Jesus to save them, they have no other hope of avoiding suffering.)

What kind of a god makes promises of such base sensual gratification to his followers for laying down their  lives to murder unsuspecting innocents who aren't even given an opportunity to repent? It's not a loving God like Yahweh, of the Holy Bible, Who is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance!" It sounds more like the being described by Jesus when He said, "Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy." Who but Satan could be behind such a deceptive, destructive religious/political system?

Yes, Satan is the god and father of Islam. He, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking whom he may devour.

The world will have no peace until Jesus Christ, the Jewish Prince of Peace, comes to conquer the destroyer and beat the swords into plowshares as He rules the world in peace from Jerusalem. That's why Satan, working through Islam, hates Israel and seeks to destroy it. But don't worry, Islam's days are numbered and Jesus is coming soon!

New Living Translation (©2007)
The LORD (Jesus) will mediate between peoples and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore. Micah 4:3

I urge all readers of my blog to seek eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He died on the cross of Calvary for the sins of all mankind to set us free from sin's penalty and to give us abundant life now and forever!  Please turn to Him. He loves you! Today is the day of salvation!

For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, the "right time" is now. Today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2

Mount Sinai in Arabia: Symbol Of Bondage

Mount Sinai in an illustration from a Bible card published by the Providence Lithograph Company, 1907. Wikipedia.

Jabal al-Lawz is a mountain located in northwest Saudi Arabia, near the Jordan border, and some believe it is the historical Mount Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. (To learn more about evidence for this belief see the video link at the end of this blog.)

Even though all the Bible Maps place Mount Sinai in the Sinai Peninsula, Paul tells us in Galatians 4:25 that Mount Sinai is in Arabia. It's probable that Paul visited Mount Sinai when he spent 2 years in Arabia following his conversion.  At any rate, an Arabian site makes perfect sense because God gave the law to Israel at Mount Sinai which makes it a symbol of bondage. (The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit gives life!) Both nations are in legalistic bondage today.

Let's see what God's Word has to tell us about Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia and its symbolism of bondage for those who rely on the works of the flesh for salvation.

...Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—  for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. Gal 4:21-25

Genesis tells the story of Abram being called out of a polytheistic idolatrous background to serve the One True God. Yehovah told him to leave his kindred and his homeland and travel to the land of Canaan. And, Yehovah promised the entire land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants forever.

Descendants? Many years passed and Abram and Sarai had no children. Finally, Sarai, who had not been given a personal promise, felt that she must be obstructing Abram's destiny, so she, according to the customs of her day, offered him her handmaiden, Hagar, as a surrogate for childbearing purposes. And so, through means of the flesh, Abraham fathered a son by Hagar who was named Ishmael.

Let's be clear, this was a work of the flesh which could never fulfill God's promise. Only God can fulfill His promises! He is our only Savior and doesn't need our help (works of  the flesh). He just requires that we obey Him in faith.

Ishmael was not the son God had promised to Abram. Ishmael would not be an heir to the Promise Land. Ishmael would not be a founding father of God's Chosen People, the Jews. And, he would not be an ancestor of our Savior, Jesus Christ. But God promised Abraham that, because he was his son, Ishmael would be the father of 12 princes and a great nation.

Thirteen more years passed and then God changed Abram's name to Abraham, again promising that he would be the father of many nations. God also established the covenant of circumcision with Abraham and his male descendants as an outward sign of their separation to God. Likewise, he changed Sarai's name to Sarah saying she would be the mother of many nations and kings.

The next year, Isaac, the son of promise, was born to Sarah and Abraham and Isaac became the heir, by faith, to the Promise Land of Canaan (a symbol of the permanent dwelling place with Yehovah, provided by faith to all believers). Isaac was also one of the founding fathers of the Jewish nation and he was an ancestor of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. Gal 4:28

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,  Eph 1:4


How much Ishmael understood about the difference between himself and Isaac we do not know; but, Sarah was carefully watching over her only son and what she saw troubled her. On the day of Isaac's weaning celebration, Ishmael was tormenting Isaac. This behavior signaled the trouble to come!

But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Gal 4:29

The details aren't shared, but Sarah saw enough to know she must intervene on Isaac's behalf. She had the insight to realize that Hagar and Ishmael must be exiled to protect Isaac's person and position as heir to the Promise Land and the blessings.

Abraham loved Ishmael and he may not have seen the inappropriate behavior, so he was grieved by  Sarah's solution and opposed it. (This is happening today. Political correctness and misguided compassion in the West is coddling and protecting Islam and will lead to much destruction.) However, God intervened on Isaac's behalf and told Abraham to "listen" to his wife and send Hagar and Ishmael away-- which he did early the next morning.

As Paul said, these things are symbolic. The persecution of God's chosen people continues to this day. In Israel, the Jews are being persecuted by Ishmael's descendants. And, in the world, the Spirit born children of God, who have freedom in Christ Jesus, are being persecuted by those enslaved by the flesh and living in spiritual bondage--whether religious or secular.

So, what can be done? Paul offers Sarah's solution as the answer. 

Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” Gal 4:30

For Israel, the real Palestinian solution would be to "cast out" the Muslims. Ishmael was Abraham's son and he had lived in the Promise Land with him all his life (17 years); and yet, God said to send him away. Why? Because Ishmael had no legitimate claim to the land God had promised to Abraham's chosen heir. It was God's decision and it hasn't changed. The Promise Land belongs to the Jews and it should never be divided. In fact, according to the Prophet Joel, God will judge those who divide it--which means political leaders should stop trying to force Israel to give up her land! Concessions only lead to more concessions and will finally lead to judgement.

"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.  “ Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon (Lebanon), and all the coasts of Philistia (Gaza)?  Will you retaliate against Me?  Joel 3;1,2,4 

In this prophetic passage God foretells the return of the Jews to their homeland and names her modern enemies! Notice how accurate God's Word is. Lebanon is the stronghold of the Muslim terrorists known as Hezbollah (Allah's Party) and Gaza is the stronghold of the PA (formerly known as the PLO) and Hamas terrorists. Israel's enemies keep attacking her (and fighting God) but they won't win!

Joel continues in verse 12 with Yahweh's statement:  "I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations."  What nations surround Israel? Muslim nations!  And God says in verse 19, "Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a desolate wilderness, because of violence against the people of Judah, for they have shed innocent blood in their land."  (Wait for it. God's Word is true.)

Even though God commanded Abraham to send Ishmael away, God blessed Ishmael during his lifetime and made him into a great nation.  Afterwards, the Arab's were hijacked by a false religion called Islam which has led them into deep bondage and a hatred for Israel.

To return to blessings, Arabs must break free of the bondage of Islam. God has a plan that must be followed which includes blessings on those who bless Israel and curses on those who curse Israel. Again, to be blessed, individual Arabs must forsake Islam and its hatred of the Jews and turn to God. 

If you are Muslim, God is calling you out of Islam and into a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. Why do you think Christians are banned from sharing faith with you? Why do you think the Bible is banned from you? It is because it is true and will set you free!  Please seek the truth while you have time!

As for Christians, Paul was saying we must "cast out" any reliance on "works based" salvation plans. Our freedom is obtained and maintained by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Any attempt to lean on man made rules and regulations for salvation leads one back into bondage.

Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.  Gal 3:24-25

God gave the Jews the law on Mount Sinai to help them understand the difference between right and wrong. It was a "tutor" to lead them to the freedom of righteousness by faith in their Messiah, Jesus Christ. However, since the Jews rejected Jesus, they remain in bondage to this day and Jerusalem is held captive by Islamic intimidation. And, they will remain in bondage until they gladly embrace Jesus Christ as their Messiah when He comes again.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile), there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.  Gal 3:26-29


Saracens, Hagarites and other Muslims are in no way excluded from coming to faith in Christ Jesus. All Gentiles may become sons of promise and children of God by faith in Jesus-- Abraham's children all! 

So then, brethren, [in faith] we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.  Gal 4:31

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and look for our soon coming King!

Will Islam Rule the World?



Prophet's Mosque in Medina (Wikipedia image)

Before I came across the following article posted online by Dan Nordquist, I was considering writing a blog myself to share some of the end time prophecy information I've been learning of late. However, when I found this article, it made me realize there is no need to reinvent the wheel. The site said it could be freely published as long as the content is not changed and the website link is included. So, I am passing along the full length article and trust it will be a blessing to you.

I realize it is a lengthy article but  it's well worth your time. Feel free to print it and read it in multiple sessions if need be. (I have bold typed points I wish to emphasize.)

Will Islam rule the world?

If so, is it OK to be a Muslim instead of a Christian?

Is Islam in the Bible?

 

The Religion of the End Time in Bible Prophecy.

The religion of the end time will be one where the false prophet will deceive the whole world and cause the world to worship the Antichrist by doing miracles such as pulling fire from the sky. This religion already exists but will be made universal by the power given the Antichrist and the false prophet by the devil. The Bible doesn't specifically tell us what that religion will be called, but we can determine what it will be by looking at the facts. The world is pretty much dominated by Christianity and Islam (over half of the world's population combined). While Hinduism comes in a close third, it doesn't look like it will matter in the end time.

Christianity today is full of churches proclaiming that all religions worship the same God and therefore we should embrace them. The Catholic Church promotes that idea with Interfaith doctrine and goes as far as to state, in the Catechism, that the Muslims worship the same God as Christianity; and therefore, will enjoy the same salvation equally. This means that they think it doesn't matter if you are a Christian or a Muslim, and that you can find salvation through either religion.

The Muslims, on the other hand, have no such belief. In fact, Muslim doctrine teaches that Jesus is just a prophet, not the manifestation of God in the flesh, and that He will return at the end time to teach Christians the Muslim way and convert them. The prophecies of the Bible and the Muslim prophecies concerning the Antichrist (the Muslim Mahdi) and the false prophet (the Muslim Jesus) mirror each other but the good guys of Islam are the bad guys of the Bible. This is a very good indication that the Antichrist will rise as the Mahdi of Islam and will unite the Christian world with him via the false prophet and create a global Islamic religion. The Bible tells us that this end time religion will be forced upon people or they will be killed if they refuse. The Muslim prophecies tell us that the Muslims will kill any who won't convert to Islam.

The Bible tells us that the world will be fooled by the false prophet performing miracles in the sight of men, like pulling fire from the sky. The false prophet will seem to everyone to have Godly power and will fool everyone into worshiping the Antichrist.

Is Islam really a true religion worshiping the same God as Christianity?

I had to ask myself this question: who is the God of Islam? Is it really the same God that Abraham worshiped as they want us to believe?

Kaaba at Mecca (Wikipedia Image)

It is asserted by Muslims that Mecca's Arabs are descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. They also claim that Ishmael settled in Mecca where he, along with Abraham, built the Kaaba and passed on the religion of the true God to his offspring. It is believed that throughout time the Ishmaelites perverted the worship of the true God, not by abandoning their belief in him, but by adding other gods in their worship, thus perverting the religion of the God of their father Ishmael. It is actually provable that this is not true, as I will show you.

In the Old Testament, near Israel's beginnings, worship of a false God called Baal began and consisted of worshiping the heavenly bodies, of which the moon is the largest in the sky. The Biblical and historical evidence shows that the Moabites worshiped Baal. The pre-Islamic and Muslim sources show (a) that the Meccans took over the idol Hubal from the Moabites and (b) that Allah and Hubal are actually identical. Thus, whether the Meccans are Ishmaelites or not, the evidence is still strong and sufficient to conclude that Muhammad's Allah is actually Hubal, i.e., the Baal of the Moabites and thus not the God of the Bible. Muhammad incorporated the characteristics and names of various other gods into his new monotheistic message about Allah, but he apparently started the construction of Allah with Hubal, the chief god of the Meccans.

The pre-Islam pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kaaba; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.


If you have read the news in recent months, you know that modern day Muslims practice these very rituals.

The Muslims are worshiping the same false god that people have been worshiping since early times as far back as Israel's beginnings.


Most importantly, Muslims say you don’t need to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved! Muslims will admit that Jesus Christ was a true prophet, but deny that He was the Messiah (although some Western Muslims will say He was anointed), they will deny that He was God manifested in the flesh as of the Son of God (John 1:14), and they will deny that He died on the cross and rose again. Does that make sense? Absolutely not. That belief cannot be truth because Jesus Christ Himself said He was the Messiah! John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. That would make Him a false prophet according to the Muslim beliefs!


The word Islam means "submission". Not only in the sense of submission to Allah, but in the sense of making everyone submit to the rule of Islam. Islam is about subduing the world and making it submit. The Muslims believe that Mohammad is the exemplar of right conduct. They aspire to be like him in the same manner that Christians aspire to be like Jesus. Mohammad said to spread, through warfare, the rules of Islam. Mohammad became increasingly violent during his career and spent 10 years in Medina creating an army to overthrow his homeland, Mecca, after he was ran off by the pagans in 622 AD. He killed thousands of people and subdued Arabia through war. Muslims are encouraged to commit acts of heroism in combat. They are promised that those who kill and are killed will be rewarded with paradise. This is the basis for suicide bombers. They believe that since they are killing while they are killed that the sin of suicide is covered by the martyrdom of their action and, as such, they will be rewarded in heaven. Islam is a religion of political rule, a system of government. It is not about a personal relationship with Allah, it is about bringing the world under submission to its rule.


The Quran (Koran) was written over time during the life of Mohammad (conveyed or recited by him). He started as a peaceful man, but as time went on he changed many of his values. As he became increasingly violent, his writings matched his attitude. The correct interpretation of the Quran is to take any conflict in doctrine, of which there is a whole lot, and replace an older verse with the latest one, supplanting its meaning with the more recent version in a process called abrogation. The problem is that the Quran is compiled from the longest Sura to the shortest, so it's nearly impossible to know which conflicting verse to believe or obey. The Muslims have a whole committee of scholars to interpret the Quran and decide which verses were written first and the succession of them to the last.


If you think Islam is a religion of peace, as they claim, just look at all the wars they are involved in today, in Europe, China, Africa, etc., and the mindset of Muslims as a whole as they chant "Death to Israel, Death to America", while they are working toward their goal of subduing the world. Islam is a religion of peace only when they have conquered the world and subjected it to the rule of Islam. Also, if the son of the ruler of Hamas says that Islam has no moderates, then I believe him.

Do they really expect us to believe they worship the same God that Christians do?

The religion of the end time in Islamic prophecy vs the Bible

There is ample evidence that the Islamic religion will be the false religion of the End Time used the by Biblical Antichrist. Here's why I think so:

The Islamic/Muslim prophecies are a parallel but opposite mirror of Biblical prophecy concerning the End Time. The Muslim good guys are the Bible's bad guys.

The Muslim prophecies listed here are found in the Quran and the Sunnah. Some believe Mohammad was possessed by a demon who gave him these parallel prophecies (Mohammad actually said that he feared he was possessed), but it could simply be that he had a copy of the book of Revelation and patterned this all after the Bible so as to look authentic. Personally, I believe he was either possessed or given this information and guided to build the Islamic religion by a demon or the devil himself.

Take a look at the following list:

1. Bible: The Antichrist is an unparalleled political, military, and religious leader that will emerge in the last days.
   1. Islam: The Mahdi is an unparalleled political, military, and religious leader that will emerge in the last days.
2. Bible: the False Prophet is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days who will support the Antichrist.
   1. Islam: the Muslim Jesus is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days to support the Mahdi.
3. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet together will have a powerful army that will do great damage to the earth in an effort to subdue every nation and dominate the world.
   1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will have a powerful army that will attempt to control every nation of the earth and dominate the world.
4. Bible: The False Prophet is described essentially as a dragon in lamb's clothing.
   1. Islam: The Muslim Jesus comes bearing the name of the one that the world knows as 'The Lamb of God, Jesus Christ." Yet the Muslim Jesus comes to murder all those who do not submit to Islam.
5. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet establish a new world order.
   1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus establish a new world order.
6. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet institute new laws for the whole earth.
   1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus institute Islamic law all over the earth.
7. Bible: The Antichrist is said to "change the times."
   1. Islam: It is quite certain that if the Mahdi established Islam all over the earth, he would discontinue the use of Saturday and Sunday as the weekend for days of rest and replace them with Friday, the holy day of Islam. Also, he would most certainly eliminate the Gregorian calendar and replace it with the Islamic calendar used in every Islamic country.
8. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will both be powerful religious leaders who will attempt to institute a universal world religion.
   1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will institute Islam as the only religion on the earth.
9. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will execute anyone who does not submit to their world religion.
   1. Islam: Likewise, the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will execute anyone who does not submit to Islam.
10. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will specifically use beheading as the primary means of execution for non-conformists.
    1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will use the Islamic practice of beheading for executions.
11. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will have a specific agenda to kill as many Jews (and Christians) as possible.
    1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will kill as many Jews as possible until only a few are left hiding behind rocks and trees.
12. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will attack to conquer and seize Jerusalem (the battle of Armageddon).
    1. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will attack to reconquer and seize Jerusalem for Islam.
13. Bible: The Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple as his seat of authority (the abomination of desolation).
    1. Islam: The Mahdi will establish the Islamic caliphate from Jerusalem.
14. Bible: The False Prophet is said to do many miracles to deceive as many as possible into supporting the Antichrist.
    1. Islam: The Mahdi, himself, is said to control the weather and the crops. His face is said to glow. We can also assume that since Jesus is viewed as having been empowered by Allah to work miracles when He was here on earth the first time, He will most likely be expected to continue to do so when He returns.
15. Bible: The belief at the time of Muhammad (and still believed by some people today) was that the Antichrist is described as riding on a white horse in the Book of Revelation.
    1. Islam: The Mahdi is described as riding on a white horse (ironically in the same verse in Revelation).
16. Bible: The Antichrist is said to make a peace treaty (with many) with Israel for seven years.
    1. Islam: The Mahdi is said to make a peace treaty through a Jew (specifically a Levite) for exactly seven years.
17. Bible: Jesus the Jewish Messiah will return to defend the Jews in Israel from a military attack from a vast coalition of nations led by the Antichrist and the False Prophet (the battle of Armageddon).
    1. Islam: The Dajjal, the Islamic Antichrist, will gain a great Jewish following and claim to be Jesus Christ and fight against the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus.
18. Bible: The Antichrist spirit specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the divinity of Jesus, the incarnation of God in the flesh, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross.
    1. Islam: Islam doctrinally and spiritually specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the divinity of Jesus, the incarnation of God in the flesh, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross.
19. Bible: The primary warning of Jesus and the Apostle Paul was to warn Christians of the abundance of deceit and deception in the last days.
    1. Islam: Islam is perhaps the only religion on earth that practices deceit as one of its tools to assist its own ascendancy. It actually has a specific doctrine which allows and even calls for deception to be used to achieve its desired end.
20. Bible: From the Bible and history we learn that the final Antichrist empire will be a revived version of the empire that succeeds the Roman Empire.
    1. Islam: The empire that succeeded the Roman/Byzantine Empire was the combined Holy Roman Empire in parallel with the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
21. Bible: When the Antichrist emerges, a system will already exist poised to receive him as a savior and to give allegiance to him.
    1. Islam is already the second largest religion and will at present growth rates become the largest religion within a few decades. Islam awaits the coming of the Mahdi with universal anticipation. The Catholic church and many Christian churches believe that the Muslims will be saved just like Christians will be, and believe that they worship the same God as Christianity. It's a very short step to convert to Islam if that is believed to be the truth.

We can see that the whole world will be fooled by the false prophet and the Antichrist, including the Muslims. The Muslims will believe it is their Mahdi, while the rest of the world will follow the interfaith movement into believing that being a Muslim is the same as Christianity in that we all worship the same God and therefore will enjoy the same salvation. As stated, the Catholic church has already included Islam as part of God's people and many Christian churches are following this belief. This means that everyone who is fooled by this will think it's perfectly OK to convert to Islam.

What will the world of the end time look like?

The nations of the end time

The empires of the world from Babylon to today were foretold and since we live in a time where history proves what those prophecies were, we have the unique pleasure of seeing prophecy unfold.

The book of Daniel gives us two symbolic pictures of the end time governments.

1. In one perspective we see that there will be 4 kingdoms in existence at the end time and they will exist when Jesus returns, conquers them, and sets up His kingdom on the earth. These kingdoms mentioned specifically are Britain, Russia, Germany, and the final government of the New World Order that the Antichrist will rule.
   
2. In the other perspective we see that the Medes and the Persians rule after Babylon, then the Greek empire, then the Roman, and finally the Holy Roman / Ottoman co-empires. Both of these final empires together comprised the total area controlled by the Roman Empire. From the Bible and history we learn that the final Antichrist empire will be a revived version of the empire that succeeds the Roman Empire.

The Bible tells us that this final (divided, co-empire) will be used as the world government of the Antichrist and his false prophet. The Antichrist will bring the Muslim world together, reviving the Ottoman empire, while the false prophet will bring in Europe, reviving the Holy Roman empire, and the two will unite them as one. The Bible tells us that the Antichrist will rule the whole world, but it also says that during this last 3.5 years he will be fighting wars as he conquers more and more nations. Not all nations will fall under his rule in so short a time (the area which is now Jordan is one that is specifically mentioned to “escape out of his hand”, among others), but he will rule the last world dominating empire.

The Bible tells us that some of the nations that exist today will exist when Jesus returns and that the Holy Roman / Ottoman Empires will be revived and be united in the New World Order that the Antichrist will use to rule the world.

Islam is predicted in the Fourth Seal of Revelation.

In Revelation 6:1-8 and Zechariah 6:1-8, we're given a warning of the spirits that will be controlling the world in the last days. The pale/green horse of Revelation and the grisled and bay horses of Zechariah tell us about the spirit of Islam.

The pale horse went south and Death sat on him and Hell followed him and he was given power to kill with the sword and hunger and the beasts of the world. The Southern Hemisphere contains most of the poverty stricken nations. War, crime, revolution, hunger and beasts of the earth are more prominent in the more backward nations of the third world. The last 100 years have seen more death than the entire history of man (wars, abortions, etc.) The passage in Zechariah splits the pale/green horse in two; into the grisled and bay horses. That makes this prophecy easier to understand in that it has two components: Islam and Death. A very interesting thing about this horse is that the meaning of the original Greek word is interpreted as “pale” in the King James Bible, but the word chloros (khlo-ros'); also means greenish, or pale green. This word (chloros) is also used in 3 other places in the Bible: Mark 6:39, Revelation 8:7 and Revelation 9:4. In all three of these other places it was interpreted correctly as green. This horse was also given power over the fourth part of the earth. Since we know these horses are spirits, it is very, very interesting that the color of Islam is green (their flags, etc.), and that there are 1.48 billion Muslims (Islam followers) in the world today. That’s almost exactly one fourth of the world population. This horse went south; and 96.5% of the world’s Muslims are in the Southern Hemisphere, in Africa and Southern Asia. Can Islam be defined as “Death”? I’ve seen arguments that the terrorists are only the “radicals” and poor Muslims being recruited, but if you look at the history of the men that hijacked the planes on 9/11, they came from middle class and wealthy families. The attacks that are happening everywhere, the suicide bombings, the masses of Muslims chanting, “Death to Israel, death to America”, are not only the poor and radical, it is the mindset of Islam as a whole. Look at what happened recently in Palestine. They knowingly elected a terrorist organization into their government! And, given what we know about Islam and how it will be used by the Antichrist, the term “death” here may be referring to the “second death” of Revelation where those that are not saved come before God on judgment day.

What we're waiting for in the near future

The event we're looking for right now, that could happen very soon, is the Confirmation of the Covenant. The confirmation of the covenant is this: there will be an international agreement to confirm the status of Jerusalem and the permanent borders of Israel. These things are being fought over right now with the Palestinians. The Bible says that the Antichrist will confirm the covenant along with many others for 7 years. This event will be the beginning of the last 7 years of Daniels 490 years. It may be hard to identify the Antichrist at that time because he will be just one of many.

Approximately 8 months (.7 years) after the Confirmation of the Covenant, the Antichrist will begin to take over the world.

The Antichrist and the false prophet will team up around this time.

The Jewish temple will be rebuilt and animal sacrifices will be resumed by the Jews.

Jerusalem will be “surrounded by armies”, which is likely a picture of it being policed by UN and/or other forces to force peace in the Middle East.

In the midst of this last 7 years (three and one half years in), the Antichrist will cause the animal sacrifices being performed in the rebuilt temple to cease, and will cause the “abomination of desolation” by either claiming to be God or acting in the place of God. That is when we will definitely know who he is.

The false prophet will cause the world to worship the Antichrist. This will be made possible by the power given him by the devil himself. He will perform miracles before the world, like pulling fire from the sky.

God's two witnesses will begin their prophecy at this time. They will not be able to be killed for the whole 3.5 years but will be killed at the very end.

The Bible tells us that they (the world) shall say, “peace and safety”. This is the call of the New World Order. The Antichrist will come in the name of peace to take over the world, and the Bible says that the people of the world will be thinking they've finally made it, reveling and partying, proclaiming that mankind has finally done it and brought peace to the world!

The Antichrist will implement what's called the mark of the beast. It will very likely be a RFID type of system. They can put a chip under your skin today and they even have a tattoo ink that is RFID capable, so maybe that will be utilized. What's certain is that this will be forced upon all people and you won't be able to get a job, buy food, go to the doctor, have a bank account, or pretty much have any way to “buy or sell” unless you submit. This will undoubtedly come with some sort of oath or pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist and his government. It may even mean conversion to Islam. This will also be a superhighway straight to hell. Any person who takes the mark of the beast is condemned by God. It will be a horrible time for the people who worship the one true God, Jesus Christ. This is what is termed as the Great Tribulation.

The Antichrist will “cause craft to prosper”. He will “understand dark sentences”. There will very likely be many people who will start to use dark and evil power to perform sorcery and witchcraft.

So, will Islam rule the world?

According to the prophecies of the bible, I believe it will. If you want more detailed and in-depth information, please go to www.prophecyandtruth.com and read chapters 7, 8 and 10.

AntiChrist Spirit of Chrislam

As a follow up to my blog about the Quran, I want to address the heresy abroad in the world today known as Chrislam. It started in Nigeria, Africa and is currently being embraced by churches from many denominations and spread across America. While uniting people of different faiths may seem to be an honorable mission, the resulting apostasy is not. Believers cannot be successfully yoked with unbelievers without abandoning the faith.

What is Chrislam? As the name implies, it is an attempt to blend Christianity and Islam into a single religious belief system. Is this possible? It is not possible without sacrificing truth and promoting error!

While Chrislam requires compromise in many areas, I want to focus this blog on just a few: The incarnation which is revealed through the divine Sonship of Jesus Christ; the crucifixion of Jesus which saves us from our sins; and the resurrection of Jesus which guarantees our future resurrection to live and reign with Him eternally. These doctrines are the heart of the Gospel and are rejected by the Quran.

The Quran includes many references to a prophet named Isa [Jesus].  And it records his birth to a virgin named Maryam [Mary]. It even calls him a Messiah-- but not one who saves from sin! So, Muslims would like for Christians to accept that this Jesus is the same Jesus revealed in the Bible, but their teachings say otherwise.

The Muslim Jesus is not the Son of God! The Quran repeatedly denies that Allah has a son. And it says specifically that Isa (Jesus) is not the son of Allah!

Quran: Sura 6:102 “The originator of heavens and earth! How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort?”

Sura 112:1-4 “Proclaim, 'He is the One and only GOD. The Absolute GOD. Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. None equals Him.”

Islam presents Jesus as a mortal prophet who denies a divine relationship with Allah and proclaims the future coming of Muhammad, The Prophet of Allah. And Islam says Jesus had a beginning, he was created like Adam.”

Quran: Sura 5, section 16, verse 119, reads: “And behold! Allah will say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, “Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God”? He will say: “Glory to thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say)..."

Sura 61:6 And (remember) when ‘Jesus, son of Mary said: “O children of Israel! Indeed, I am the (Prophetic) Messenger of Allah to you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah,  and bringing good news of a (Prophetic) Messenger who comes after me, whose name is the Praised One [Muhammad]”...     
 [Muhammad means Praised One]

Sura 3:59 "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He (Allah) created him (Jesus) from dust, then said to him: Be. And he was." 

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the eternal Son of God. His birth was foretold in the ancient Hebrew scriptures. The conception of Jesus occurred when the Holy Spirit of God overshadowed the virgin Mary. Jesus, Himself, said that He existed before Abraham lived. He said, "I AM" which is the name [YHWH] that God gave Moses to share with the children of Israel. And Jesus proved that He was "God in the flesh" by teaching with supernatural wisdom and authority, and by performing many healings and miracles, and even by forgiving sins.  And His followers testified that He is the Son of God! Even the Roman Centurion at the foot of cross said so!

“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.”  John 1:18

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 1 John 2:18 NKJ

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22 NKJ

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3 NKJ

For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7 NKJ

The Muslim Jesus was not crucified for our sins! Allah judges according to His will. I've given a couple of examples below. No one can pay for another's sins so a Savior isn't needed.

Sura 4:156-159 ... That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise.

Sura 4:17"Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah towards those who do evil out of ignorance and then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. Toward them will Allah turn in mercy; for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom."

Sura 4;18"Forgiveness is not for those who do ill until death faces one of them, who then says, 'Lo! I repent now, nor for those who die as disbelievers, for such we have prepared a painful doom.'"

According to the Bible, Jesus was crucified and died for our sins.

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”    Acts 2:36 NKJ

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3


The Muslim Jesus did not die and was not resurrected. The Muslim Jesus was caught up to heaven (like Enoch and Elijah) in his physical body, without dying. Islam teaches that he will return as Allah's prophet to assist the Imam Mahdi in uniting and ruling the world in the last days.      

Sura 4:156-159 "......Nay Allah raised him up Unto Himself....." 

Sura 3:55 "Behold! Allah said: O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme...

The Bible says Jesus was raised from the dead!

This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.  John 21:14 NKJ

²⁶ “Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent. ²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him... ²⁸ though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. ²⁹ Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised Him from the dead. ³¹ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem... ³² And we declare to you glad tidings—...He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:    ‘ You are My Son, today I have begotten You.’    And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption... ³⁸ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; ³⁹ and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.   Excerpts from Acts 13:26-39  NKJ

It is clear from these Quran and Bible verses that the Jesus of the Quran is not the Jesus of the Bible. This means Chrislam is a deception from the antichrist spirit and Christians should avoid this deception at all costs!

Paul said, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 NKJ

May you be awake, aware and prayerful so that you remain free of deception in these perilous times!  The real Jesus loves you and He is coming soon!
