ISIS Crisis


The Church in Iraq is under attack. A resurgent Islamic terrorist group calling themselves The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria or ISIS has begun an assault on Christians in Iraq. 30,000 Christian Believers have been rounded up by ISIS and placed on a mountain in Iraq with no food or water. In addition ISI recently tore in a child in half who had been baptized in an Episcopal Church. The Canon priest in Iraq is asking for prayer. He asks that we as fellow believers "pray for protection, provision, and perseverance."

The persecution is in full swing in the Middle East and Asia. ISIS has begun a Christian Holocaust. Christians in Syria or Iraq are branded with an N in Arabic for Jesus of Nazareth (see post pic). This branding is remniscant of what the Nazis did when they rounds up the Jews and put in their clothes the Megan David (Star of David). 

When researching about ISIS and their insidious, nay invidious work in Iraq, I stumbled upon an Egyptian goddess named Isis. Isis was the wife of one of the chief Eyptian gods called Osris. Isis gave birth to Horace, a warrior god like Thor and Hercules. Isis also is said to have been the mother of kings, paroahs, and conqerors. I do not think it is a coincidence that this Islamic Terrorist organization has the same name as an Egyptian goddess who have birth to rulers and conquerors. Hagar was an Eyptian midwife and Ishmael is half Eyptian. The ancestors of this Islamic extremist group were Eyptians and thus it is no surprise they would use the connection to support their quest for superiority, submission, and an Islamic State.  

As Christians we need to pray for our imperiled brothers and sisters in The Lord. In Iraq part of our family is under attack and persecution. We must lift them up in our prayers. Do not forget them, for if one part of our family suffers, we all suffer. Iraqi Christians now join the long list of Christians who are captured and subjected to cruel treatment for their faith. China, Iran, Sudan, Russia, and even the U.S.A. Itself are a of the many nations now in full fledge Chrisfian persecution. Thankfully we in The Church of America have not been branded and rounded up. But a day may be coming when the Remnannt here will join the rest of Remnant in camps and torture chambers. 

Pray without ceasing. The hour is short and the persecution is at hand. 
 
Addendum:
 
I have just received word that ISIS is now crucifying young children! O Lord come quickly! Please pray for these innocents who are being martyred! Pray that the Allied Forces can come to their rescue and if not in time, that they hold on to their faith and endure this terrible death. These children need a deliverer and the US Forces maybe just that if they can get to them and end ISIS' insidious reign.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come and died for our sins an

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few people are endeavo
