Sometime back in one of my mini-articles I spoke of how scripture prophesied of how Islam would spread to be the one world religion. I figured, since this had not been accomplished through centuries of Islamic growth, the world’s population would have to be decimated in order to bring it to pass within a mere century or two. I saw nuclear war erupting and shrinking the population globally. I also mused that natural disasters would assist in this gargantuan feat. It never occurred to me that Muslim immigration would also help in bringing to pass the inevitable – Islam’s worldwide acceptance. Now with tens of thousands of Muslim immigrants pouring into various countries, including America, I see that Islam’s influence will spread ever more rapidly. I spoke of how eastern Europe would fall under the Islamic umbrella before it spread to the West – the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, etc. “Political correctness” is another tool of Satan that will help foster the spread and acceptance of Islam.
If more Christians would read the Book of Revelation, actually believing and accepting what they read there, they would cease believing the “rapture” error and that the return of Jesus Christ is near at hand. I repeat what I have said many times before, I doubt that there is an infant alive on earth at this moment who can possibly live long enough to witness the return of Jesus Christ. There ARE millions of infants alive right now who WILL live long enough to see Islam the dominant religion in their land, but even they will be old men and women before that occurs.
Pope Francis will not be the last pope, nor will he be the most radical pope produced by the Roman Catholic Church. There may well be several more popes before the return of Jesus Christ, and one or more of them will be far more radical than Pope Francis. I am not a prophet. I just believe scripture prophecy.
If the apostle Paul was resurrected and began preaching in the average “Christian” church today, he would be shouted down as a heretic and ushered quickly to the door of the church and told, “Goodbye.” Of course, few realize that this was exactly what happened to him during his earthly ministry nearly two thousand years ago. In his second and final letter to Timothy, Paul lamented, “This you know that all those (professing Christians) in Asia HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM ME!” (See 2 Timothy 1:15). He then wrote, “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching, for the time will come when they (professing Christians) will not endure sound doctrine (flatly refusing to believe the truth due to so much false teaching), but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears (always desiring to hear something new and different), they will heap up for themselves teachers (preachers and theologians of every stripe and color from the past), and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned to fables” (See 2 Timothy 4:2-4).
The Koran is a fable. God’s word is the truth. Professing Christians will eventually reject the Bible for the Koran. This will not happen tomorrow. It will not even begin to occur in our lifetime, but it WILL occur. The timeline of man’s ignorance and rebellion will run out for quite some time yet – many, many decades – even a century or more. Christians who read and believe God’s word realize this as well as I do, but such are in the extreme minority.
Yes, I am back. And the Spirit shouts anew, “Write, Don, write, write, write, write, write…..” The healing hand of the Master has ministered to me once more and convinced me anew that I have many years to go before I sleep.
