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.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

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...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
