Since we are now living in the last days,immediately proceeding the Rapture,it is important to constantly be on the look-out for still more fulfillment of end time prophecy.Tragically with the dramatic turmoil in the Middle-East,euphemistically dubbed the "Arab Spring",which some have viewed as a spontaneous combustion of democratic aspirations,it is now becoming very ominously clear that to the contrary,what we are now experiencing is the set-up for the Book of Revelation's prophecy of the pre-Second Coming destruction of Israel.
Revelation 12:6
The woman (ISRAEL) ran into the desert (AFTER THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL SEND ARMIES TO INVADE ISRAEL) to a place that God had prepared for her. (THIS IS THOUGHT TO BE PETRA THE NOW EMPTY BUT WELL PRESERVED "GHOST TOWN" IN JORDAN) here she will be taken care of for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
Some of the best evidence that we are indeed witnessing still more Bible prophecy burst out all around us,can be shockingly discovered in the following report of the new and sickening behavior of radical Muslims in what prior to the "Arab Spring,was one of the most moderate and Israeli-accepting nations in the Middle-East;Egypt.Well guess what? NO MORE as radical Islamists are now gaining frighteningly amounts of power.
Muslim Brotherhood: "No More Churches"
by Raymond Ibrahim
What clearer sign that Egypt is turning rabidly Islamist than the fact
that hardly a week goes by without a church being destroyed, or
without protesting Christians being attacked and slaughtered by the
military?
The latest chaos in Egypt-where the military opened fire on unarmed
protesters, and ran armored vehicles OVER THEIR BODIES killing 35 and
injuring over 300, with the count still rising originated in Edfu, a
onetime tourist destination renowned for its pharaonic antiquities,
but now known as the latest region to see a church destroyed by a
Muslim mob.
This destruction, which spurred the unrest in Egypt, is itself eye-
opening as to the situation in Egypt. To sum it up, St. George Coptic
church, built nearly a century ago, was so dilapidated that the local
council and governor of Aswan approved renovating it, and signed off
on the design. It was not long before local Muslims began complaining and making various demands, including that the church be DEVOID OF CROSSES and bells,even though the permit had approved them,citing that "the Cross irritates Muslims and their children."
Coptic leaders had no choice but to acquiesce, "pointing to the fact
that the church was rebuilt legally, and any concessions on the part
of the church was done for the LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY,
which is passing through a difficult phase."
Acquiescence of course breeds more demands; Muslim leaders next insisted that the very dome of the church be removed so that the building might not even RESEMBLE A CHURCH and that it be referred to as a "hospitality home.":be polite: Stating that removing the dome would most likely collapse the church, the bishop refused. Then the cries of "Allahu Akbar" began. Muslims threatened to raze the church and build a mosque in its place. Copts were "forbidden to leave their homes or buy food until they remove the dome of St. George's Church;" MANY STARVEDfor weeks. Then, after Friday prayers on Sept. 30, some three thousand Muslims rampaged through the church, torched it, and demolished the dome.Flames from the wreckage burned nearby Coptic homes, which were further ransacked by RIOTING MUSLIMS.
This account of anti-church sentiment in Egypt leads to several sad
conclusions: Animosity toward churches, demands that they be left to crumble,demands to remove crosses and stifle bells; are an integral part of Islamic history and dogma. The fact that church attacks in Egypt
always occur on a Friday, Islam's "holy day," and are always
accompanied by religious cries of "Allahu Akbar", should be evidence
enough of the Islamist context of these attacks.
Because there was a lull in this animosity from the colonial era to
just a few decades ago, most Westerners incorrectly assume that in
Islamic history church toleration is the rule, not the exception.
Unfortunately Islamic tolerance toward churches has more frequently
been draconian, and it is now back with a vengeance : "The Muslim Brotherhood announced immediately after the revolution that it is IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD ANY NEW CHURCH :crazy eyes: in Egypt and churches which are demolished should never be rebuilt as well as no crosses over churches or bells to be rung."
This explains why Muslim authorities are complacent, and even
complicit. According to witnesses, security forces, which were present
during the Edfu attack, "stood there watching." Even worse, Edfu's
Intelligence Unit chief was seen DIRECTING THE MOB destroying the church. As for the governor of Aswan, he shamefully appeared on State TV and "denied any church being torched," calling it, instead, a "guest home"; a common tactic to excuse the destruction of churches. He even justified the incident by arguing that the church contractor made the building three meters higher than he permitted.He declared that "Copts made a mistake and had to be punished, and Muslims did nothing but set things right, end of story."
Equally telling is the fact that perpetrators of church attacks are
seldom if ever punished. Even if sometimes the most rabid church-
destroying Muslims get "detained," it is usually for show. They are almost always released in days and then hailed back home as heroes; :you are looser:a practice that also goes back to Muslim dogma, which teaches the oppression and even destruction of non- Muslims.
This year alone has seen the New Year church attack, which left 23
dead; the destruction of the ancient church of Sool, after which Muslims
"played soccer" with its relics; the Imbaba attacks, where several
churches were set aflame; and now Edfu, wherein, as usual "none of the
attackers were arrested." Indeed, three days after Edfu, Muslims attacked yet another church.
Aware that they are untouchable, at least when it comes to persecuting
infidel Christians , anti-Christian Muslims have a simple
strategy; destroy churches, even if one at a time, safe in the
knowledge that not only will they never be prosecuted, but also that
Egypt's military and security apparatus will punish the infidel
victims should they dare to protest.
HERE YOU SEE THE HAND OF SATAN AS HE RADICALLY ISLAMICIZES THE MIDDLE -EAST FOR THE BIBLE PREDICTED DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.
