Obama, Islam and Israel Conclusion

The Qur’an speaks of Jihad (holy war) many times. “To participate in Jihad in Allah’s cause” Al Bukhari vol 1:25 and “During the last days there will appear some young foolish people, who will say the best words, but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will leave the faith) and will go out from their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.” Bukhari vol. 9 no. 64 (italics mine)

Sura 8:57 “So if you gain mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.”

“Allah has given those that fight with their goods and their persons a higher tank than those who stay at home…The unbelievers are your sworn enemies…Seek out your enemies relentlessly….You shall not plead for traitors…Allah does not love the treacherous or the sinful.” (Dawood, Koran, pp. 367-68)

Sura 66:9 “O Prophet! Make war on the infidels and hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their abode! And wretched the passage to it.” I imagine that the passage (to either heaven or hell) for the people who jumped from the Twin Towers’ 87th floor, or burned to death in a puddle of jet fuel was quite wretched indeed.

Again, let me clearly state that all Muslims are NOT terrorists. But many terrorists are Muslim. The Qur’an tells Muslims that the only SURE way to paradise is to die in a Jihad. (Sura 9:111)

“God hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than God? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.” Sura 3:157

“And if you are slain, or die in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.” Al-Imran 3:157

I could go on and on and on. I hope by now you get the point. Much of the Qur’an and the Christian Bible are diametrically opposed; you cannot be both Muslim and Christian. Jesus teaches to turn the other cheek, not retaliate. God tells us to live in peace as long as it is with us. He commands us NOT to kill.

The Qur’an spews violence and hatred in parts, and instructs its followers (Muslims) to participate in Jihad (holy war) and kill anyone who does not believe the same as they do. AND THIS IS THE BOOK THE PRESIDENT TOUTS AS HOLY AND QUOTES FROM WHEN HE IS SPEAKING IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. If that does not strike fear in your heart, you better go to the doctor to make sure you still have a pulse.

So where does Israel fit into this whole picture? Remember the story of Abraham and Sarah in the Bible? God told Abraham he would be the father of many nations. He told Sarah she was going to have a baby….when she was already 90 years old. Sarah got tired of waiting on the Lord, and told her husband to sleep with her maid, Hagar. Hagar bore a son, Ishmael. Sarah became insanely jealous of Hagar and made Abraham send her and her son away. While she was hiding, an angel came and told Hagar that her son would “live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

Sarah eventually has Isaac, and God’s promise is fulfilled. Abraham, whose descendants would outnumber the stars, began with Isaac. Genesis 15 :17-21 speaks of the covenant God made with Abraham. "When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates- the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

Today, the nation of Israel is the descendants of Isaac. "Canaan (Kanaʻn; Hebrew: כְּנָעַן Kənáʻan; Arabic: كنعان Kanʻān) is an ancient term for a region encompassing modern-day Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and adjoining coastal lands, including parts of Jordan, Syria and northeastern Egypt. (www.wikipedia.com)."

So Israel, as a nation today, has the Biblical right to all of these areas.

The Arab nations surrounding her (parts of Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia) are descendants of Ishmael. And has there not been hostility between the two?

Israel has the LEGAL right to the land as well: "The land was also given to the Jews by the Law of nations:
1878 - Following the Russian/Turkish war, the Berlin Congress of Nations gave full civil rights to the Jews of Palestine.
1917 - When British Forces took Palestine during the World War I, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration which brought forth the concept of a homeland for the Jews.
1922 - The mandate for Palestine was granted to Britain at a meeting of the Allied Supreme Council in San Remo, April 1920.Note: The separation of Transjordan from the terms of the Mandate by Britain in 1922/23 was an illegal act and was in contravention of the agreement of the mandate Article 5. Britain also broke the terms of the agreement (Article 5) in forbidding a Jewish settlement in Transjordan.
1947 - The UN voted for a partition of the land of Palestine between the Jews and the Arabs. 1948 - Israel was accepted into full membership of the UN." (Bless Israel)

God told Israel in Ezekiel 36:22-24
"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. " 'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land."

And what happens to the nations that interfere with Israel's possession of her land?

1 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, (not IF, WHEN.)
2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:1-2

Just because President Obama is making the wrong decisions doesn't mean WE as the nation of America will get away scot free. On the contrary. The passage in Joel doesn't say that the leaders of those nations will be judged, but the nations themselves will be judged. We need to take control of our government by standing up and making known OUR opinions. Let them here YOUR voice. Write the White House. Call you Congressman. Pray, Pray and Pray some more. This country will face the wrath of God. Not if, but when.

  1. Kerri, How very powerful! The very words of the biblical text as well as the Qur'an point to the fact that we truly are in a spiritual war of the last days between God and satan. Yes, we must pray and pray some more. However, we know and are assured that the One True God is in control and will be the victor in the end. Rev 20: 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

  2. I don't want to remove trencherbone's comment because I strongly believe in freedom of speech. I want to make sure, however, that this blog does NOT inspire hatred or ANY kind of hate crime. I am merely pointing out what I believe to be grievous deception from our current President, and the danger we are in by having a Muslim leader of the USA. I also want to point out some of the Biblical prophesy that is happening right NOW, and what that may mean for us.
