This article is taken from the ‘Jewish Chronicle’. It was written by an Irish man and contains the usual ‘anti-British’ bias but please note its highlighting of the changing attitudes and increased ‘antisemitism’ amongst Irish republicans, north and south, as the street protests here in Ulster shows!

Sinn Fein/IRA, were to the fore at these protests. That is not surprising since they have been long time allies of Hamas and employed the tactics of the Palestinian terrorists during the many years of the ‘Ulster Troubles’, kidnapping, torturing, murdering men, women and children in their pursuits of their evil cause, were to the fore at these protests!

The following national headlines of recent days tell much about the true character of ‘Islam’!

The religion of the Muslim, commonly called ‘Islam’, began in the 7th century and has many millions of followers. It was advanced through the slaughter of its enemies and critics and opponents.

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, launched raids against many non-Muslims. Muslim sources have revealed that he launched dozens of military raids against various groups, including polytheists, Jews, and Christians. Through these raids, Muhammad became so powerful as an Arab tribal leader that many tribes submitted to him and thus declared their conversion to Islam. The word ‘Islam’ itself means “submission” and “surrender.”

It is impossible that the teaching of Islam will produce true holiness for the life-style of its founder, a model for all Muslims, was profligate and debauched. Muhammad had many wives. The exact number is disputed, but he had somewhere between 9 and 12. He also had many concubines and female slaves.

Muslims say he married these women to take care of them after they lost their husbands. Others believe these marriages were for economic and political reasons.

He was an immoral monster and a paedophile, a molester of children. Aisha was his youngest ‘wife’. He married her when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Zaynab was his adopted son’s wife, but the adoption was later revoked by ‘Allah’, the name given to the Islamist ‘god’, thus allowing Muhammad to marry her.

Despite these evil truths regarding the beginning of this latter-day heathen deception, Governments and police forces and the press are most loath to label Islam for what it is. That is because Islam, if it is deemed to have been offended or worse still, if ‘Allah’ was ‘blasphemed’, then its people will launch a terrorist ‘jihad’, a ruthless campaign of terror against the offender.

“But the people‭ that do know‭‭ their God‭ shall be strong‭‭, and do‭‭ ‭exploits‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬,‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭”‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Daniel 11:32.

I recall reading that Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said, regarding his selecting of texts to preach on, that when he read his Bible, verses jumped out at him crying out,’PREACH ME’!

Now I am by no means a CHS! But his Bible is my Bible and acts it in a very similar fashion. I cannot read the chapters allocated in my Bible-reading calendar without a similar experience. My days of pulpit preaching appear to be over, but I still can tap with two fingers on my laptop and there are verses every day that demand that I begin tapping!

Today, I read the eleventh chapter of Daniel. I then went on to read 1 Timothy 4. As I read verse 6, “‭If thou put‭‭ the brethren‭ in remembrance‭‭ of these things‭, thou shalt be‭‭ a good‭ minister‭ of Jesus‭ Christ‭, nourished up‭‭ in the words‭ of faith‭ and‭ of good‭ doctrine‭, whereunto‭ thou hast attained‭‭,‭”‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ I was reminded of what I had read in Daniel 11 and heard again the cry to seek to expound what Daniel had recorded of his vision.

Paul, in his exhortation to Timothy was referring to his opening words in chapter 4, when he said: “‭If thou put‭‭ the brethren‭ in remembrance‭‭ of these things‬‬‬‬‬‬ . . . .” The ‘these things’ was the Holy Spirit’s ‘express’ warning of a departure from the faith in the “the latter‭ times‬’. How often the inspired writers were directed of God to disclose events in ‘the latter‭ times‬”!

Preacher — how often do you expound what the Lord would have His people know about these ‘latter‭ times‬’ in which we live?

Could I turn your attention to Daniel 11 and deal with the subject — ‘The character of a faithful remnant in the very last days.’

The verse 32 and the words found there will serve as the basis of this study. “‭‭‭‭‭‭‭But the people‭ that do know‭‭ their God‭ shall be strong‭‭, and do‭‭ ‭exploits‭.‭”‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The word ‘but’ is a word which introduces a contrast. The people here referred to are indeed a contrast to others referred to in this portion of God’s Word. Let me establish first of all that : (more…)
