“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people.” (Isaiah 60:1-2)
We are living in a time of darkness; an age of chaos; of lost-ness and moral confusion. This ‘truth’ we knew – was driven home by the events in Belgium. Islam is biting the hand that welcomed them. But in some sense, the countries of the EU are at least somewhat complicit in allowing – even promoting the conditions from which the terror grew. Faced with anemic population growth, Europe opened its door decades ago to the Muslim population to fill an economic need. And when they came, they did not assimilate. They lived in communities that were – by choice – socially segregated. These became the famous no-go zones where even police rarely dare tread – and morphed from there into the breeding grounds of radical terrorists, willing to fill the ranks of al-Qaeda and ISIS; willing to die for a paradise they will never see and a mythical bevy of virgins they will never know. In blindness and self-absorption, native Europe was willing to tolerate the ‘inconvenience’ of this cancerous / antithetical culture in their midst in trade for economic benefit. In the process Europe lost not only its heritage – but its’ very soul. Beset by modernism, post-modernism and a declining adherence to Christian traditions – and faced with growing colonies of Islamists, they surrendered their cultural center. And there was something else going on. It’s been called Biological Jihad. Amber William of My Daily Informer explained the concept. “Biological Jihad is the Muslim practice of emigrating to every major country around the world, and having as many children as possible. The average number of people in a European Muslim family is 8, with many families having as many as 10 to 14. By increasing the number of Muslim living in any one particular country, they eventually will become the dominant force in that country as their people go in to public life, are elected to prominent positions, and then change the laws of that country to suit the Muslim ideology.”[i] As Muammar Gaddafi once famously declared in 2006: “We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe—without swords, without guns, without conquest—will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”[ii] [iii]
The sobering fact of the matter is there is no clear human solution. Terror is the natural by-product of this demographic shift – and it will only get worse. As Europe is finding out: Once that genie is released he is hard to get back in the bottle. And now large portions of the American public, led by our present leadership, seems to be embracing the same path tread by our cousins across the Atlantic. Still, it is hard to take in that the terror is part of a revealed plan; one that would willingly and purposefully create the chaos necessary to take us to a One World Government.
Now we see that darkness is spreading from all points of the globe. It is having its effect on the world’s population. It is threatening, debilitating and numbing. It comes from Syria and ISIS, from North Korea and China, and Turkey and Russia, and Saudi Arabia, and Iran; that ancient Persian Empire with a clear path to home-grown nukes. To the Mullahs in Tehran, that will serve as the vehicle for the destruction of Israel and the emergence of the long-awaited Islamic messiah, the Mahdi. Turn inward and we are witness to one of the strangest campaigns in American history. There is campaign violence, threatened riots, and political chaos. There are allusions to anatomical prowess and nude pictures of wives.
And then there is Israel; center of our prophetic future. They face enemies within and without. Even small Palestinian children are taught to stab. Terror has returned to the very streets of Israel. They are surrounded by hostile forces dedicated to their destruction. They’ve been betrayed by their American allies in the support given to Iran in the nuclear agreement. And yet they live in hope. And hope brings the light.
That hope comes from the fulfillment of God’s promises to sustain them. As I write this, Jews across the world, and especially in Israel are celebrating Purim. It marks a time in the 4th century BC when the Jews were subjects of the Persian Empire. An evil and anti-Semitic Prime Minister had set in motion a plan that would result in the slaughter of all the Jews in the kingdom. It took the act of the secretly Jewish Queen, who risked her own life in the process to turn the tables on the plotters that resulted in their own destruction. The Jewish nation was saved without a battle. Ever since this most-joyous of Jewish holidays has been celebrated. It is somehow fitting that in the midst of the chaos and existential danger that this is so. No matter the ravings of a nuclear Iran, or a new campaign of terror, or being the pariah of the UN, Israelis embrace the joy of life on this day – especially in their own land. For despite all the world may bring against it: Israel is[iv] the safest place a Jew can be.
You see there is an odd thing happening here. And you can’t really grasp it if you are not in tune to what the Scriptures have to say. God is bringing His people back to the Land just as He said He would. For they are to be in the Land before He comes…..for what they believe is the first time…..and Christians hold is His return. The scattering and regathering of Israel is the subject of many scripture passages. In Jeremiah 32:37-41 we read: “Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.” Men and nations can fight over the Land and try to find a ‘human’ solution. But God has already decreed one. He has chosen that Land for His people, Israel. It is a sacred covenant He cannot break. “And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” (Genesis 17:7-8)
This is something that many Jews are starting to know almost instinctively. Through connections I have read their stories and letters. So many of them have heard the call of Ha Shem, beckoning them back to the Land; this, despite hardships, and lost family connections, and language barriers. And some see it as the only place of safety. They watch the rise of anti-Semitism across the world – and even here in the ‘so safe’ US of A – and they know that this is not their home. Grateful for the refuge they understand the call. So it is on the occasion of this Purim, that a rabbi, Ari Abramowitz, has issued a warning and a call for Jews from around the world to make Israel their home. The warning comes in the form of a 6 minute video. Breaking Israel News gives this description. “The video opens with a montage of clips from televised news stories about anti-Semitic violence in America. Forty-five seconds in, Abramowitz appears on the screen and asks whether the Purim story has relevance for the Jews of the world today. Abramowitz, an American immigrant himself, connected the self-perception of the Jews of Shushan, the capital of Persia at the time of the Purim story, with the self-perception of Jews in Germany just before the Holocaust and the self-perception of Jews in America today. With these chilling words, Abramowitz spoke directly to the Jews of America. ‘To our fellow Jews in America, you are in more danger than any Jews are anywhere else in the world for the simple reason that you don’t feel how much danger you’re truly in…. As the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, it is our responsibility to sound an alarm to our Jewish brethren all around the world that it’s time to come home'”

Now some in the Israeli community see the signs and know that the time is short. They note the connection between the re-establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 and the End of Days. Take one Rabbi Yosef Berger. He has taken it upon himself to “write a Torah scroll to present to the Messiah upon his arrival…. The Rabbi believes that by writing a Torah scroll which includes all of Israel, and keeping that scroll on Mount Zion, it will fulfill the requirements to usher in the Messiah.” Rabbi Berger explained that Israel would not find redemption “until they seek these three things – the kingdom of heaven, the dynasty of King David, and the building of the Temple.’ Writing a scroll housed on Mount Zion, where King David is interred, and adjacent to the Temple Mount, will accomplish all three goals in one action.” [v] This is not an isolated belief among some fringe rabbis. It is accepted by a significant portion of society.
These rabbis believe that by some action of their own, they can call forth the Messiah. This is the teaching of Kabbalah. It is an occult philosophy – related to the ancient mystery religions, and birthed during Israel’s Babylonian captivity. Over time, it infiltrated the Pharisaic class, opposed Paul in the 1st century dressed as Gnosticism and took shape and form in the Rosicrucians, Freemasonry and the Illuminati among other groups. At its [vi]base it seeks to manipulate the Divine Order making it just a fancier form of witchcraft and therefore can be traced back to Babylon and ancient Egypt. I am not indicating the motive here, just the result of such action when I point out that New Age writings have openly revealed that they have a plan to ‘produce’ a New Age Christ. They have even revealed many of the details of their plans to deceive the world into accepting a One World Government under this New Christ. It is the expressed desire of Freemasonry to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. It is an action they believe will lead to the New Age Christ and a New World Order. In his 1981 best seller, The Armageddon Script, Peter Lemesurier declares, “If the Messiah is to appear, then he must be produced,” echoing the actions of the rabbis. He then goes on to detail some of the actions that might be taken: Steps that would mimic the fulfillment of Scripture, thereby adding authenticity to artificial claims of Messiahship. He is to “appear on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives at the time of a great earthquake,” – fulfilling Zechariah 14:4. This imposter is to “enter Jerusalem from the east“, riding a donkey, – in a replay of Palm Sunday. Lemesurier talks of using smoke and special effects to serve as a “terrifying reminder of the Divine power and wrath.” It will be a time of deception. “And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you.'” (Matthew 24:4) Amidst the light ……..A deception for those capable of being deceived!
We know from scripture that a Temple will be built. A messiah will come to that temple …..but it will not be the Messiah they seek. The Prophet Daniel tells us that the Antichrist will “confirm a covenant” for a seven period – but in the exact middle of that seven year period he will break the covenant and bring an end to the sacrificial system. It will be occur at a time when the world has fallen into a Great Apostasy. Let’s look at some scripture. “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” (2Thessalonians 2:3-5) It is Daniel that tells us when…and how this will happen. “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (Daniel 9:27) Thus the light of a reborn Israel (1948) shines through the darkness of today’s world….yet in some quarters blends again in to darkness. It is a hard puzzle to understand.
The puzzle reveals itself if we look for it. The politically correct view says we should check all our common sense at the door, close our eyes to the evidence of Islamic violence – and accept the hordes – among which lie the enemies that will destroy us. We see the evidence before us. In Europe, incidents of rape are ballooning out of control, coincident directly with the immigrant phenomenon. We see the politically correct authorities often ignore the crimes or hide the connection to the Muslim community. We see the Religion of Peace at work. And some here in the US would attempt to shame us or tempt us into following along. Let us be aware that those that some in our political class would have us embrace are among the greatest enemies to the republic.
According to the website The Religion of Peace, in just the last month: “There were 144 Islamic attacks in 26 countries, in which 1322 people were killed and 2893 injured.” Here are some of the details. Fourteen people are killed and 92 wounded in an attack at the Brussels airport. The subway attack took 20 lives and injured 130. But these are not just lone-wolf-lunatics. This is the norm for one group of Koran—reading Muslims. A mass grave of 70 female Yazidis was found. Finally the Religion of Peace reported that: ‘Six men are executed in barbaric fashion by the Islamic State, including one whose head is blown off with explosives.“[vii] It is sometimes hard to remember that the victory is ours as we watch the darkness continue to advance.
But there is a principle that we must always remember. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) This is a spiritual battle that manifests itself in the natural. But the natural is often just the symptom. We must not address the symptom, but instead face the issue at its source. Many would say this is nothing ….but I would not be among them. Last year the crazies of ISIS destroyed the temple of Baal in Iraq. Now to honor the “architecture” of the building, a group hopes to erect 1,000 mini temples of Baal all around the world. New York and London will be among the first cities to enjoy the experience.[viii] Baal worship, you may recall, involves both sexual perversity and the sacrifice of one’s children. We may find these practices barbaric, but we’ve sacrificed 58 million of our own since Roe-v-Wade in 1973. [And a Satanist will tell you that those abortions, those child sacrifices, were sacred to lord Satan.)
Yet in spite of the darkness, God’s promises stand. I did not take it to the end in the opening scripture of this newsletter. It reads as follows. “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people.” (Isaiah 60:1-2) Because, you see, there’s more. ” But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:2-3)
Though Christ’s actual passion was linked to the Jewish Passover, this is the week that most Christians celebrate the central, historical act of our Faith; the death and Resurrection of Our Lord. It is the perfect picture of darkness and light. When Jesus came in to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday He was proclaimed as King and Messiah. But many in that crowd that feted Him were hoping for a political Messiah, an earthly King that would somehow vanquish the Romans the way God had vanquished the Egyptians at Passover and the Red Sea. But that was not God’s plan. Instead the Holy One of Israel was offering the true Passover Lamb; the sacrifice that would open the gates of Heaven, clear the way to the Holy of Holies, give access to the ultimate and perfect Light.
The darkness that followed Christ’s triumphal entry was deep indeed. There was betrayal and denial and illegal trials. There was the specter of man judging God, slapping God, scourging God until His flesh was peeled, driving nails through the hands of God, hanging God – and mocking God throughout the process. And in the middle of the event the God of the Universe declared His judgment. The Gospel accounts tell us – and it is confirmed in Roman historical annals. Darkness descended on the whole known world. “Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'” (Matthew 27:45-46) But then, at the very moment of His death, something happened. The way was opened. “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” (Matthew 27:50-51) And then the Light triumphed. Sin had been paid for – and now life was restored. As Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb they confronted an angel. “But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen. (Matthew 28:5-6) He is risen indeed! For the darkness cannot overcome the light. Speaking of Jesus, the Word, the Messiah Christ, the Scriptures declare: “In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:4-5) (ESV)
