Bible Believers' Newsletter 1288
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word. Today will see a change in subject and in tone: please welcome award-winning historian, biographer and broadcaster Tom Holland.
"In the Shadow of the Sword—the Birth of Islam" covers the collapse of Roman and Persian powers in the Near East and the emergence of Islam in a period of history little known and much less understood but of great importance to recognizing the soon-coming defeat of the Jewish state and the repatriation of the direct blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Readers and subscribers who live among Moslem, Roman, Orthodox and Jewish people know that the shuck will not be heir with the wheat. The Life has passed through the blade, stalk and shuck which like Mary were carriers of the Life, not the Life Itself. The plant now dried and dead will be cast into a furnace of fire with the tares, thorns and briars bound ready for the burning: there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
We have condensed Tom Holland's 549 pages plus our contribution into a very important Newsletter. The Life multiplied many fold is back in the grain ripened under the S_O_N Light of "the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12). The Seed of the Word God's Church is watering will become alive and carry us to meet our unseen Bridegroom in the air away as the very camel Rebekah watered carried her to meet her unseen Bridegroom. "Come out of Babylon, her denominational daughters, isms and ites that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." Hasten now, for it is almost time for us to go Home—study our items of current news and be blessed.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.Your brother-in-Christ

Middle East War: A False Flag leading to More False Flags?
May 28, 2024 — Israelis and other nationalities were deliberately sacrificed in the concert by the Israeli government to keep non-Semitic PM Netanyahu in power and out of prison. Hamas is funded by Israel via Qatar and has been since non-Semitic PMs Ben Gurion and Begin. Full story: rumble.com
ICJ rules against Israel saying Rafah Siege must End Immediately
May 27, 2024 — In another decision at the United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ), the judges ruled 13-2 that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) must end its bombing operations and blockade in the city of Rafah. This was the fourth hearing of the ICJ related to the lawsuit filed by the African National Congress (ANC) government in the Republic of South Africa which charged the State of Israel with violating the Genocide Convention.
The initial ruling in January stated that the claims of genocide were plausible and that the Zionist state must take action to end the siege upon Gaza. Since January, thousands more have been killed by the IDF in its ground offensive and aerial strikes against the people of Gaza. Israel is using food and water as a weapon of war where more than 35,000 have been slaughtered over the last seven months.
Since the Al-Aqsa Flood of October 7, the Israeli state has committed numerous crimes against humanity. The administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Palestinians as subhuman animals deserving extermination. An 18-page ICJ ruling on May 24 notes in its concluding paragraphs that:
"The Court also considers that the catastrophic situation in Gaza confirms the need for the immediate and effective implementation of the measures indicated in its Orders of 26 January 2024 and 28 March 2024, which are applicable throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah . . . In light of this series of rulings unfavorable to the State of Israel and its ally, the US, there should be an effort to expel Tel Aviv from the United Nations. There is precedence for such actions which date back five to six decades . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Israel Massacres Children, Western Press says its Fine
May 27, 2024 — Israel has not only completely disregarded the orders of the International Court of Justice to cease its assault on Rafah as we expected it to do, but has actually ramped up its ruthlessness as though trying to make a point. There were reportedly more than 60 Israeli airstrikes on the southernmost city in the Gaza strip in the 48 hours after the ICJ ruling, including a horrifying massacre on a displacement camp full of civilians in tents.

Assange: Extradition Suspended, Persecution Continues
May 27, 2024 — The British High Court granted Julian . . . faced with a farce trial that has been going on for 5 years, based on the violation of every rule of due process.
The British High Court was used as an instrument of torture . . . The "crime" committed by this investigative journalist is having discovered and brought to light war crimes committed by the USA. His persecution is a warning that the US and its allies issue to anyone who dares to violate their "rules" by bringing the truth to light. The British High Court continued its action even when evidence emerged of the CIA's attempt to kidnap and murder Assange while he was a political refugee in the Ecuadorian Embassy . . . the presidential election campaign is underway in the US: it would therefore be harmful for all the candidates if a trial were opened against Julian Assange . . . bringing to the fore US war crimes plan . . . at this moment, the major US university campuses are characterized by a strong movement of solidarity with Palestine, which denounces the war crimes committed by Israel with the substantial support of the US. It would therefore be dangerous for the US establishment to bring Julian Assange before its tribunal, as the campus movement would rally to his defence . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: A number of occupants in the university encampments are non-students financed by Jewish billionaire Jorge Soros as reported by RT. Another False Flag causing Ivy League universities, such as Harvard, MIT, Yale, to crack down hard on peacefully protesting students, with police violence in riot gear leaving their institutional image as spotless supporters of Israel.
That is what the US does best. Including during WWII the US financed Hitler from the FED, Rockefeller's standard Oil petrol, IBM's computing machines . . . to help Germany fight against the Soviet Union which was supposedly an ally of the US along with the UK and France—the Nazi Regime—Divide to conquer. The Khazar Jews had fought for a thousand years to conquer Russia.
Peter Koenig understands that most Israelis are non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Khazar Jews of Cain's lineage. God set "enmity" between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of the first and the last Adam." Cain and his race was "cursed from the earth" by the God of Israel (Genesis 3:15; 5:12-15). Imagine PM Netanyahu and his clan killing the Gazan population by bombs, machine guns snipers and ultimately famine . . . and killing starving Gazan inhabitants by placing bombs in the little food they receive, killing or maiming them when they open their food cans and containers.

Ukraine attacked Key Element of Russia's Nuclear Umbrella – Russian Senator
May 25, 2024 — The US should be seen as directly responsible for a Ukrainian strike on a key element of Russia's nuclear umbrella, Senator Dmitry Rogozin has said, warning that such attacks could lead to the collapse of the entire global nuclear security architecture.
The attack targeted a nuclear early warning system in the southern Krasnodar Region. The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to comment on the matter, while the extent of the damage remains unclear. Rogozin suggested that it was extremely unlikely that the strike, which Ukrainian media reported involved several drones, was carried out at Kiev's sole initiative and without US involvement.
Rogozin claimed that Washington's "deep involvement in the armed conflict and total control over Kiev's military planning means that the version that the US does not know about Ukrainian plans to strike Russia's missile defense system can be discarded." Thus, we stand not on the precipice, but on the very edge . . . If such enemy actions are not stopped, an irreversible collapse of the strategic security of nuclear powers will begin. Full story: RT
More Deep State Evil
May 25, 2024 — Starting with the assassination attempt of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, this gripping short documentary lifts the veil on the nefarious deep state shadow entities that pull the strings of power from behind the scenes. With deadly consequences, they manipulate and control world events to further their sinister agenda. From demolition and weaponized weather extremes—creating floods, fires and earthquakes, to assassinations, bombings and political unrest. These rogue agents stop at nothing to remove obstacles and orchestrate regime change. Full story: counterspin

Armenians Guinea Pigs for Pentagon's Bioweapons
May 22, 2024 — In its millennia-old history, Armenia and its people suffered numerous calamities . . . the Turks committed the Armenian Genocide . . . killing up to 1.5 million Armenians . . . and over a million native Greeks and Assyrians. However . . . US/NATO Intel. services brought Nikol Pashinyan to power . . . Washington DC's biowarfare . . . One of the many reasons why Russia launched its special military operation (SMO) is the existence of these biolabs where US services are building bioweapons for attacks on the Russian people (as previously reported –Ed.) . . .
The agreement between the US and the Pashinyan regime also includes the latter's commitment to "jointly research" extremely hazardous pathogens and diseases that are not common in Armenia, including Ebola, monkeypox, the Marburg virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, as well as various types of the coronavirus . . . The Russian military has been warning about American bioweapons programs for years. In January this year, it's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) Protection Troops revealed the massive scope of these illegal programs, as well as the horrifying consequences of US biowarfare in Ukraine and other countries. Unfortunately, war criminals at the Pentagon managed to hijack yet another country and expand their aggression against the world.

US Bioweapons in Nigeria endanger Africa and the Whole World
September 22, 2023 — Revelations about what Victoria Nuland ever so euphemistically called "biological research facilities" in Ukraine is usually tied to the start of Russia's strategic counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe (SMO). However, the truth is that the United States has had a massive bioweapons program for well over half a century and that it has become unprecedentedly globalized in recent decades . . . US agencies, such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), actually lead to a worsening of the epidemiological situation in Nigeria, including an increase in cases of Ebola, Lassa, Crimean-Congo and similar types of hemorrhagic fever, as well as other dangerous diseases. Nigerian military personnel are probably the most vulnerable category, as the Pentagon exerts substantial control over Nigeria's military and medical system. Full story: infobrics.org/post/39426/
Comment: Frequent rotation of military personnel involved in the controversial "research" can only be described as an attempt to better conceal the nature of the Pentagon's bioweapons program in Nigeria. Such biological research laboratories in 30 countries around the world, increasing the number from 20 to 400. Most of these biological research laboratories appear in African countries, such as Nigeria, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Egypt . . .
Japan's most Senior Cancer Doctor: COVID Shots are 'Essentially Murder'
May 14, 2024 — "Turbo cancers," a kind "previously unseen by doctors" that progress extremely quickly and are typically in stage four by the time they are diagnosed, have started to appear after the jab rollouts. These "turbo cancers" are emerging along with excess mortality due to cancer in general, which Fukushima says cannot be explained only by lost opportunities for screenings or treatment during the COVID outbreak.
As a tragic example of the fatal danger of the COVID shots, the oncologist shared the story of a 28-year-old man who was found dead by his wife when she tried to wake him in the morning, five days after he received his second Pfizer shot. "The doctor who did the autopsy said that when he tried to remove the heart, it was soft and had disintegrated," Fukushima said. "And even just one case like this shows how dangerous this vaccine can be." He pointed out that these severe harms, including death, have been afflicting people—post-jab—who have a history of good health . . . Full story: lifesitenews.com

Conversion of the Infidels
by Tom Holland©2024 all rights reserved
Today, to trace anyone's descent to ancient Palestine would be a genealogical impossibility. The Jewish racial myth flows from the fact that the words "Hebrew" "Israelite," "Jew," "Judaism," and the "Jewish people" have been used synonymously to suggest a historic continuity, but this is a gross misuse. The descriptive name Judaism was never heard by the Hebrews or Israelites; it appears only within modern Christianity. The English word "Jew" was slipped into the late 18th century revision of the Bible and does not correspond to anything denoted by the Aramaic, Greek or Roman terms for "Judahite" or "Judean" during Jesus' lifetime. According to Reporting Guidelines for the Australian Press Council, General Press Release No. 49 (issued June 1982) with reference to the word "Race" as applied to Jews. "The Press Council wishes to alert editors to a common mistake. There is no "Jewish race." Judaism is not a race but a religion. There are Caucasian Jews, Mongolian Jews, Oriental Jews, Semitic Jews and so on—terms defining both racial origin and religion. The Council asks all editors and sub-editors to watch for this error . . ."
Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" the 1980 Jewish Almanac has the following: "Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew" (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
"Semite is a name given in the 19th century to a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages spoken primarily in parts of western Asia and Africa. This a deception employed by Edomite, Khazar and other non-Semitic self-styled Jews who impersonate the children of Israel pretending to be Israelites. Britain's first Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli said, "No one must lightly dismiss the question of race. It is the key to world history and it is precisely for this reason that written history so often lacks clarity—it is written by those who do not understand the race question and what belongs to it. Language and religion do not make a race, only blood does that . . . The world is governed by very different persons from what those believe who are not behind the scenes" (Table of Nations). The Talmud teaches, "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth" (Last Will of Canaan, Talmud tractate Peshachim 113b).
According to tradition Mohammad is said to have been born in AD570 in Mecca, Arabia (now Saudi Arabia), and to have died in June 8, AD632 in Medina, where he had been forced to emigrate to with his adherents in 622. He was the founder of Islam and proclaimer of the Koran.
According to the Koran Mohammad is the last in a chain of prophets sent by God (33:40) . . . he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the Prophets. Allah has full knowledge of everything.
In 712BC Isaiah 40:3, declared "The voice of one that cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert, a highway for our God. In 397BC God's prophet Malachi 3:1, "Behold I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the LORD whom you seek shall unexpectedly come to His Temple, even the angel of the New Covenant, whom you delight in: behold he shall come says the LORD of Hosts." Malachi 4:5-6 prophesied, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: and he shall turn the heart of the apostolic fathers to the children (whose new birth founded Christ's Church on the day of Pentecost, AD30." That Elijah was John the Baptist who introduced Christ's first Coming). "And (after 2,000 years) restore the heart of God's elect children back to the unchanging faith of our apostolic fathers in AD30." (This Elijah was the Prophet William Branham, AD1909–1965 who introduced Christ's unseen second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming in 1963 (Matthew 17:11; Luke 17:28-30; Revelation 10:7, etc). "Lest I come and smite the earth with a curse". After the resurrection of the sleeping saints and the translation of "we who are alive and remain" the curse will take effect according to the vindicated prophet Paul (I Corinthians 15:33-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Allah lacked "full knowledge" of two vindicated prophets, Paul of Tarsus who wrote the New Testament and one Elijah—William Branham who ministered around the world revealing Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever (Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 4:12). You may review the vindication of his ministry by clicking on the left side of our Church Website.
God's vindicated Prophet Jesus Messiah said "I will send unto you prophets" (Matthew 23:34-39). The prophet John foretold that Moses and Elijah of the Old Testament will physically return in about one year's time and minister in Israel for three and a half years after our Home going. They will be murdered in public and their dead bodies will lie three and a half days in the street of Jerusalem; then the breath of life from God will enter into them, and they will stand on their feet. A loud voice from heaven will call "Come up here" and they will ascend to heaven in the cloud as their enemies behold them worldwide (Revelation 11:1:13; Matthew 24:31).
God's Word is of no private interpretation and comes first hand to His servants the prophets (II Peter 1:20-21). The test for a prophet is found in Numbers 12:6, "If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I will speak to him in a dream" (Deuteronomy 13:1-5; Matthew 18:16). Isaiah 8:20, "To the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no Light in them" (I Corinthians 14:37; Galatians 1:8-9). I have read the Koran which I view as a book of laws and have yet to discover one vindicated prophecy.
Let me ask you "Are the thoughts of God eternal?" If you can see this, you will see many things. God is unchangeable in both essence and behaviour. God is infinite in His abilities so therefore He as God must be omniscient. If He is omniscient, then He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. If He can add to His knowledge, then He is not omniscient. God IS omniscient. He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have, and knows the end from the beginning because He is God. THUS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD ARE ETERNAL, THEY ARE REAL. They are not simply like a man with a blueprint he has drawn up and which one day will be translated into substance and form, for they are already real and eternal, and part of God".
Mohammad was very likely trained in the scriptures of the Jewish and Christian faiths prior to receiving his message as Jewish-Catholic prelate Augustine Cardinal Bea taught. There are many references in Islamic literature, which suggest that Mohammad, prior to embarking on his own prophetic mission, had familiarized himself with the Christian and Jewish scriptures and was inspired by the central concept of the "oneness of God." His most intimate contact with Christianity came from his marriage of twenty-four years with his Catholic wife Khadijah and her Roman Catholic cousin Waraqa ibn Naufal who had even translated portion of the gospels into Arabic. He was the first to affirm Mohammad's divine communication with Gabriel and was instrumental in persuading him to launch his prophetic mission. Zayd ibn Haritha, a slave of Khadijah, whom Mohammad had adopted as his son, was also a nominal Christian.
All manner of religious thought and practice—Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Hanifite, Pagan, popular legends and myths current in Arabia in Mohammad's time found place in the Koran. Indeed Allah revealed or Mohammad innovated nothing new in formulating Islam. There is barely any doctrine, ritual or practice in Islam that was not current in the existing religious beliefs, social customs and popular myths and legends. Allah and Mohammad only assimilated the existing ideas, thoughts and practices into Islam. Scholars, such as Ignaz Goldziher and Samuel Zwemer are therefore correct in insisting that Mohammad created no new ideas but mixed existing ideas and practice into a new concoction. In agreement, Ibn Warraq writes:
Mohammad was not an original thinker; he did not formulate any new ethical principles, but borrowed from the prevailing cultural milieu. The eclectic nature of Islam has been recognized for a long time. Even Mohammad knew Islam was not a new religion and the revelation contained in the Koran merely confirmed the existing scriptures. He always claimed affiliations with the great religions of the Jews, Christians and others.
"Cherem" is a Hebrew word meaning something which is withdrawn from common use and set apart for the exclusive use of God. Something FORCIBLY dedicated to Him as a thing that had been withdrawn from His service and worship, wherein He was not glorified, and again, by the hands of another, devoted to Him that He might be glorified. The Greek equivalent is "anathema." In the case of the Canaanites who were natural Serpent's seed of Cain's lineage, cherem is the consecration to God of His enemies (Heb.) "hated ones," and their belongings by means of fire and sword.
The application of the word cherem to man is made exclusively in reference to one rightly doomed to death and, in that sense alone, given up to the Lord. The man who, in a right spirit, either carries out a sentence of just doom on an offender, or who, with a single eye to duty, slays an enemy in battle, must regard himself as God's servant rendering up a life to the claim of the divine justice (compare Romans 13:4). It was in this way that Israel was required to destroy the Canaanites at Hormah (Numbers 21:2-3; compare Deuteronomy 13:12-18), and that Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord I Samuel 15:33. In all such instances, a moral obligation rests upon him whose office it is to take the life: he has to look upon the object of his stroke as under a ban to the Lord (compare Deuteronomy 20:4; Galatians 3:13). Therefore, there can be neither redemption nor commutation.
It is upon these scriptures that the self-styled Israeli Jews justify the slaughter of the Palestinians and the utter destruction of their cities, homes and possessions "for the glory of God." Does not the shoe belong on the other foot? And this is the basis whereon the Talmud views non-Jews as "beasts with two legs g_d made in human form to serve Jews," and that "the best of the Gentiles (Heb.) 'Goyim' should be killed" (Bereshith 25a; Kiddushin 66c; Soferim 15, Rule 10)! They are talking about you and me my Brother and Sister. Daily they murder in Palestine, Syria, Iran, Ukraine, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Myanmar and elsewhere. The Koran reads like its facsimile, stating we kafirs, non-Muslims or infidels should be killed, and we are killed by the score. Jew-ruled vassals of the City of London, Israel, Britain, the USA, Australia, scores of "allies" and NATO, kill innocent people throughout the world, and are preparing to attack Russia and China in order to maintain the reserve status of the US dollar and fractional reserve usury of non-Semitic international Jews. Yet neither the Talmud nor the Koran is a restricted publication (biblebelievers.au).
As prophesied today's nominal Christian churches are blind, Semites are not white men: Jesus Christ and His Israelite fellows were not white men with blue eyes. Any Israelite and every so-called Jew claiming the Law but living outside the Promised Land, rabbi or not he is a hypocrite WITHOUT the Covenant. Jesus prophesied world church system would be materially rich and in need of nothing, "oblivious to the fact it is spiritually afflicted, pitiable, bankrupt of the Spirit, blind to faith, naked of the Blood . . . and know it not" (Revelation 3:17). Would-be Christians are so blind they don't even take Almighty God's Name in baptism for the remission of past sins. In Matthew 28:18 and the New Testament calls His Name Lord Jesus Christ. This He confirms in Matthew 28:19, yet blind clergy and followers of institutional religion baptize in three Offices or Titles but like every son, Jesus came in His Father's Name (John 5:43); that is the Name of the Son (Luke 24:47), and the Name of the Holy Ghost which is WHAT God IS, is Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:26). God is one (1) Person who's His compound redemptive Name is Lord Jesus Christ.
We are at the very END of the Gentile dispensation. The prophets Moses and Elijah will soon return to Israel to introduce Jesus Messiah to an election of blood Israelites, NOT non-Semitic Jews so-called who will abandon Israel soon to be defeated by Islam, and return to their real homeland Khazaria, which the world knows as the Ukraine. Self-styled Jews Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland invaded the Ukraine in preparation for the imminent mass exodus of vagabond or wandering Jews (Genesis 4:12-16).
Christianity obviously had the most inspiring impact on Mohammad's mission, initially intended for reforming the Paganism in Mecca. Christian doctrines and practices were most widely assimilated into Islam. Therefore, the historical Christian belief that Islam was a heretic sect of their own religion is largely justified.
Mohammad not only absorbed Christian rituals and ideas, he copied many passages from the Bible with minor modifications:
- "The righteous shall inherit the earth" (Koran 21:105) was taken directly from the Bible (Psalm 37:29).
- A verse from Mark's Gospel reads: "For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear and after that the full corn of the ear" (Mark 4:28). The Koran renders it thus: "They are the seeds that putteth forth its stalk, then straighten it and its growth in the ear and riseth upon its stem" (Koran 48:29).
- Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:24). According to the Koran, "Heaven's gates shall not open to those who charge us with falsehood, nor shall they enter paradise until a camel passeth through the eye of a needle" (Koran 7:40).
- On the Day of Judgment, says the Bible, "the heavens shall roll together into a scroll" (Isaiah 34:4). The Koran says, "On that day will we roll up the heavens as one rolleth up written scrolls" (Koran 21:104).
- "Where two or three persons meet together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them," (Matthew 18:20). The Koran puts it: "Three persons cannot meet together secretly but God is the fourth" (Koran 58:7).
- "There are many other things which Jesus did, which if written down, I suppose that even the world could not contain the book that should be written" (John 21:25). The Koran puts it: "If the seas were ink, it would be insufficient for the words of the Lord" (Koran 18:109).
Terminology in Islam was borrowed from Christian religious usage "whole, safe and intact." The term 'Koran' originates from the Christian Aramaic term 'Kerana' to mean readings of the sacred texts in church services. The word 'sura' originates from the Aramaic Christian term 'sutra,' meaning portion of the scripture, and the word 'aya,' meaning verse or sign, was also taken from Christian usage. There are other Islamic terms that were then in Christian use.
The Koran accords an honorable status to Jesus and the Bible. It states that God sent Jesus as a sign of mercy for mankind (Koran 19:21). It affirms that the Gospel (Injil from 'Evangel') is a divine book, which was given to Jesus and that God has planted mercy in the hearts of those who follow him (Koran 57:27). The Koran confirms Christian Gospels as the guide to mankind (Koran 3:3), which contains the truth (Koran 9:111) and gives guidance and light (Koran 5:46). The Koran also regards Virgin Mary (Maryam) as a highly esteemed woman. Having been chosen above all women of the world, the Koran says, she was purified by God (Koran 3:37) and maintained in purity (66:12). She "was a saintly woman" (Koran 5:75). God breathed His spirit into her womb; and hence, the birth of Jesus was a creative act of God vested upon an immaculate virgin, who kept her maidenhood (Koran 19:21, 21:91). Those who follow the Gospel will enjoy bounties from both above and below, asserts the Koran (5:69).
The long list of wars involving immense bloodbath cannot be disregarded by Muslims when critics accuse Islam as being spread by the sword. Many of these battles took place thousands of miles away from the Islamic heartland of Arabia. One has to be credulous in the extreme to believe, as claim Muslims, that these multitudes of battles were defensive in nature. The Muslim homeland in the Arabian Peninsula was never under invasion by the Persians, Spaniards or Indians. When Pope Benedict highlighted this violent nature of Islam in a lecture in Germany in September 2006 by pointing to a 1391 conversation between a Byzantine emperor and a Muslim scholar, the Muslim world raised an international outcry. They unleashed acts of violence and vandalism, which led to burning and torching of churches and death of a number of people. Clerics from Britain (and also Somalia) ordered the assassination of the Pope for insulting the Prophet. Muslims indulging in unbridled vandalism, violence and acts of terrorism in reaction to such allegations only proves those allegations true.
During early years and decades of Islam, the inspiration to embrace martyrdom drew large numbers of recruits to the profession of Jihad for securing a place in Islam's sensual Paradise—filled with black-eyed and full-breasted celestial virgins serving sex to the blessed (Koran 44:51–54, 78:31–33)—through martyrdom . . . The desire for martyrdom was so strong amongst devout Muslims that they were willing to travel hundreds of miles to foreign lands to engage in Jihadi wars. (However, in heaven, there will be no sexual intercourse, no marrying and no reproduction: the blessed saints will have eternal Life).
Matthew 22:29-30, "Jesus answered and said unto them, you err, not knowing the scriptures, or the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Much to Zarqawi's surprise the seventy two virgins were chosen by the CIA's al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Zarqawi needs serious help.
Dr. Ali Issa Othman, a reputed Palestinian sociologist and advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRAWA) on Education, said on the propagation of Islam that, ''The spread of Islam was military. There is a tendency (amongst Muslims) to apologize for this and we should not. It is one of the injunctions of the Koran that you must fight for spreading of Islam.'' The records and first-hand witness accounts of the medieval chroniclers, historians and rulers heartily agree with candid Othman's paradigm.
The Arab-Islamic Imperialism: '(Allah) hath made you (Muslims) His agents, inheritors of the earth' and 'promised to . . . make them rulers in the earth' (Allah, Koran 24:55, 6:165).
'And fight them on until . . . there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere' (Allah, Koran 8:39).
'. . . the Arabs were the most successful imperialists of all time, since to be conquered by them (and then to be like them) is still, in the minds of the faithful, to be saved' (V.S. Naipaul, Among the Believers, p. 142).
Every Muslim is bound to Jihad, in the conquest of others with the object of the universal propagation of Islam by any means. This is "fate"—Luciferic tyranny—not faith. The Creator God, Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18; John 1:10; Colossians 1:15-17; Revelation 3:14) placed Adam's race on free moral agency to choose or to refuse with the certainty of reward or punishment. We each have a mortal body with five senses that contact the physical world, and a mortal spirit with five senses by means of which we discern our conduct. Each Christian individual is dedicated to bring his mortal spirit under submission to the revelation of his soul, which is "the present Truth" . . . what Jesus is doing now (II Peter 1:12). In turn his mortal spirit will bring his body subject. The Prophet Paul wrote, "I die daily" (I Corinthians 15:31) "I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway" (I Corinthians 9:27). "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he who does the will of God abides forever" (I John 2:15-17). God woos and wins Christians by love, not by strife and warfare. God is Love, Lucifer is death (Revelation 8). Then there is your soul—you are that spirit being called soul; your Jihad between faith and doubt will determine your eternal destiny.
People overlook the fact that every religion is of the Devil. Religion is carnal, man-made and satanically inspired; Almighty God, who's Name is Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-19; John 1:1-14), is the Word or expression of His eternal thoughts. He is not apprehended by the muscles of believers through murderous ideology and mob Jihad, but by the personal obedience of individuals in "the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12). Faith is the revelation or clear understanding of His mind for this hour. Only elect individuals chosen from the foundation of the world by His foreknowledge of their decisions freely made will become written epistles of "the present Truth" for their day.
The Lord is not seeking dominion over a material world, neither is He seeking forced conversion and slavery, but love freely given and freely received. Jihad is a love affair; the conquest of self brings our mortal spirit and body subject to "the present Truth" that He may live through our born-again soul.
I John 4:7-10, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God. He who does not love does know God; for God is love. Hereby the love of God was manifest in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins".
European nations colonized in Asia, Africa, South America and Australasia without racial or religious discrimination and they have prospered. Predominantly non-Muslim former colonies, such as India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam, South Africa, and Brazil among others have moved on in a mature fashion to forge valuable economic, political, educational and cultural ties with their former colonial masters. This prudent approach has enabled them to make significant developmental gains and progress since achieving independence. South Korea, for example, has managed to overcome the resentment against her former brutal colonial master Japan (1910–45) and forged a strong alliance with the latter. The Muslim world wrought death in brutal Jihad and fails to identify the cause of their hopeless current plight in the absence of love.
Surprisingly Muslims refuse to acknowledge that their own past was not only imperialist but brutal and devastating to the people whom they fell upon. The Muslim Arabs, mostly uncultured lawless desert Bedouins, launched a massive campaign of ruthless conquest of the world from the Arabian Peninsula in the 630s. Within a century, they had established a huge kingdom spanning vast tracts of Asia, the entire Middle East, North Africa, and Spain built on the Jihad of death, not love.
The global imperial Islamic state has a colonial dimension of economic exploitation and gains. Allah commands Muslims to plunder the wealth of the infidels in Jihadi wars as sacred booty: '(Allah) inherited you their land, their homes, their money, and lands you had never stepped on. God is able to do all things' (Koran 33:27). Allah not only commands Muslims to plunder booty, He also takes a share of it: 'and know that out of all the booty that you may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah and his Messenger . . .' (Koran 8:41). Furthermore, Allah commands Muslims to impose taxes upon the defeated and subjugated dhimmi subjects, the Jews and Christians etc. (Koran 9:29), for enriching the coffers of the Islamic state.
The difference between Moslem and later European models of colonial rule is that the Europeans, in most instances, did not enslave, transport and sell the women and children of the conquered lands. Jewry purchased, Jewish ships transported, Jews auctioned black and white slaves to the New World. Islam was founded as an imperial, colonial power by Prophet Mohammad in accordance with the divine instructions of Allah.
Is the Islamic deity an anti-Black racist—who will turn the doomed unbelievers black on the Day of Judgment?
- 'On the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah; their faces will be turned black . . .' (Koran 39:60).
- 'On the Day when some faces will be white, and some faces will be black: To those whose faces will be black (will be said): 'Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith.' But those, whose faces will be white, they will be in Allah's mercy . . .' (Koran 3:106–07).
- 'For those who do good there is (reward) and more (than this); and blackness or ignominy shall not cover their faces… And those who have earned evil . . . they shall have none to protect them from Allah—as if their faces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night . . .' (Koran 10:26–27).
Arab supremacism and anti-Black racism were not divine writ in Islam to sit idle; they were a living reality from Mohammad to the present day. Today, the Middle East Arabs treat their Muslim coreligionists from countries like Bangladesh or Africa with contempt and belittlement. Famous Islamic scholar Ignaz Goldziher, out of his ignorance of the Koranic scruples, also thought that Islam taught unequivocal equality of all Muslims before God. Goldziher is, therefore, unnecessarily at pain for the Arabs' historical disregard for Islam's alleged equality for all, as he says, 'the Muslim teachings of the equality of all men in Islam remained a dead letter for a long time, never realized in the consciousness of Arabs, and roundly denied in their day to day behaviour'.
Undoubtedly, Allah takes the least of liking for black people amongst the races. Accordingly, the Blacks suffered the worst treatment and cruelty in the hands of Arab invaders. The Arabs had turned Africa into a slave-hunting and breeding ground over the centuries; a fate, which haunts them till today in one form or another, such as in Sudan.
God's Prophet William Branham said, "By the help of God, and by a vision, and THUS SAITH THE LORD, I'm returning across the sea. That last little sheep may be a black one down there, for all I know, where they don't even think they got a soul. But God knows different. I'm going to seek till the last day of my life, to find that one, wherever it is" (65-0410, The Easter Seal, par. 265).
The name "Mohammad" is mentioned only four times in the Koran, and "Ahmad," a variant of the name is mentioned once while the Name Jesus is mentioned 1,014 times in the New Testament. Not until 240 years after he died were his words written down, so when and where did "his words" originate? Mecca did not appear on any map before AD900 and there are no genuine manuscripts. The geography of Mecca described in the Koran does not agree with Mecca, which was never a trading route, however it perfectly matches the geography of Petra which was a trade route in the early 8th century. And Mosques in Jordan, Lebanon and Yemen all faced Petra the Capital of Idumea.
Nebuchadnezzar invaded Judah in 589BC, transporting the most erudite captives to improve Babylonian stock. Seizing their opportunity the Nabataeans of Petra conquered Mount Seir, causing the Edomites to take refuge and squat in the depopulated lands of Simeon and southern Judah (Ezekiel 35:1 – 36:5) that became known as (Gk.) Idumea which means "pertaining to Edom" (Mark 3:8) which maintained its full complement of eleven clans (Edom, Canaan and other Levantine States) whereas Judah retained but two tribes. When Israel began worshipping the Babylonian Trinity the Lord God sent Assyria's Shalmanaser and Sennacherib to dissolve the Northern Kingdom and transport the Israelites to settle colonies in North Africa and the Middle East where "for fear of the Jews" they remain to this day. They will not return before the non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews abandon the Promised Land.
Under Maccabean zeal Judah's High Priest John Hyrcanus I engaged mercenaries and defeated Edom in 129BC. In 125BC he charged the Edomites to assimilate or face decapitation: with one voice they acquiesced. Josephus, the Judahite historian who later became a Christian, wrote ". . . they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision and the rest of the Jews' ways of living; at which time therefore, this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews" (Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, ix, 1). Born in 4BC, Jesus exercised caution in Jerusalem and environs "for fear of this Serpent's seed majority" (Matthew 23:29-39; John 7:13; 8:32-45; 19:38; 20:19). These self-styled Jews are not of Israel, Judah or the mixed multitude from the Exodus but Cainites (Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925, vol. 5, page 41), perhaps the creators of the prophet Mohammad, the Koran, and Islam. Fragments of the Koran discovered in Birmingham, England in 2015 predate Mohammad according to carbon dating.
Genesis 27:40-41, "And by your sword shall you (Esau) live, and shall serve your brother Jacob; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob" (jewishencyclopedia.com plus egregious Jewish guesswork).
"Although Edom should say, We, are ruined, but we will again rebuild the ruins; thus says the LORD God Almighty, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call the land and its people wicked, against whom the LORD has perpetual indignation" (Malachi 1:4).
Esau/Edom was absorbed into the Canaanite people by means of his Hittite and Hivite wives (Genesis 36:2). According to Strong's Concordance the word Canaan means "trader or merchant" and the Phoenicians, as Canaanites, are derived from Ham's incestuous relationship with Naamah the sister of Tubalcain, the wife Noah took with him in the Ark (Genesis 9:18-27; 10:6, 15-1). As it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" (Romans 9:13).
John 8:31–33, 36, "Then Jesus said to those Judeans who believed Him, "If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, we are Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to anyone: how is it that You say, you shall be made free? . . . If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed".
In three outstanding works, Mr. Alfred Lilienthal, the American Jewish expert on the Middle East, warned of what must happen as the result of forcing the Zionist "thorn" into the Moslem world. "What Price Israel?", "There Goes the Middle East," and "The Other Side of the Coin" are essential source works for those wishing to study a terrible story by a non-Zionist Jew. Mr. Lilienthal has been threatened and smeared and his books are now very difficult to obtain. Events have confirmed Mr. Lilienthal's central warning: that uncritical Western support for the Zionist State of Israel must assist Soviet strategy in penetrating the Middle East and influencing the whole of the Moslem world. A constant state of crisis has been punctuated by three major military explosions, the first in 1956, when the British under Prime Minister Eden decided, together with the French, to make an effort to re-establish their authority over the Suez Canal area. They were forced to retreat in a major loss of face, not by Egyptian military force, but by combined threats from (Jewish-controlled) Moscow and Washington. (Jewish-controlled) Washington threatened severe finance-economic sanctions if the British refused to retreat. (Judaeo-)Soviet influence increased enormously.
Non-Semitic Khazar Jews: "The Australian Jewish News" of June 14, 1974 quoted Mrs. Rachelle Leibler, President of Mizrachi Women's Organization in Australia, "recently returned from a visit to Israel," as saying that during the height of the October War 4,000 immigrants per month had been coming in from the Soviet. She said, "Our women provided not only financial and material help but were instrumental in the integration of the new settlers." An Arab hijacking in 1973 revealed to an astonished world that Austria was providing, near Vienna, a staging camp for Soviet Jews being sent to Israel. In spite of the Arab terrorists' pressure on the Austrian Government, the Austrian transit camp is still being used, but Soviet Jews can now only stay for 48 hours.
While Christians and others wishing to get out of the Soviet Union in those days must risk their lives crawling under barbwire protected by machine guns and land-mines, the Soviet has been sending out trainloads of (non-Semitic) Soviet (Khazar) Jews for Israel. Even more astonishing is the fact that this mass movement of people is being financed by (Jew-controlled) Washington with the clear understanding that Soviet Jews must go to Israel and nowhere else. No doubt many of these Jews from Russia are Communist agents. The remainder is unfortunate raw material required to ensure that the Moscow-Washington strategy for creating the World State is advanced.
In "There Goes the Middle East" (1957), Alfred Lilienthal prophetically wrote ". . . the Russians believe they have devised a super and surer method of penetrating the area. The as-yet-ungathered (non-Semitic) Jews are always held in reserve as a trump card for a tour de force via Israel should the Arab route fail."
Upon their capture, Muslim slaves were accommodated in miserable conditions in infamous underground dungeons, called matamores in Africa. Each matamore accommodated fifteen to twenty slaves.
In Europe there was also an important trade in slaves, Muslim, Jewish, pagan, and even Orthodox Christian . . . Central and East European slaves, generally known as Saqaliba (i.e. Slavs), were imported by three main routes: overland via France and Spain, from Eastern Europe via the Crimea, and by sea across the Mediterranean. They were mostly but not exclusively Slavs. Some were captured by Muslim naval raids on European coasts, particularly the Dalmatian. Most were supplied by European, especially (Jewish) Venetian, slave merchants, who delivered cargoes of them to the Muslim markets in Spain and North Africa.
The European slaves were in special demand for serving as concubines, in the royal army and palaces, and in establishments of the rich in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya. According to Giles Milton's "White Gold" and Robert Davis' "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters," since the 1530s, North African Muslim pirates raided European coastal towns and villages from Sicily to Cornwall as well as European ships for some three centuries and enslaved over one million Europeans (including many American seamen).
British humanist author Christopher Hitchens queries: 'How many know that perhaps 1.5 million Europeans and Americans were enslaved in Islamic North Africa between 1530 and 1780? . . . What of the people of the town of Baltimore in Ireland—all carried off by 'corsair' raiders in a single night?'
The Barbary Muslim pirates kidnapped Europeans from ships in North Africa's coastal waters (Barbary Coast). They also attacked and pillaged the Atlantic coastal fishing villages and towns in Europe, enslaving the inhabitants. Villages and towns on the coast of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France were the hardest hit. Muslim slave-raiders also seized people as far afield as Britain, Ireland and Iceland.
In 1544, the island of Ischia off Naples was ransacked, taking 4,000 inhabitants prisoners, while some 9,000 inhabitants of Lipari Island off the north coast of Sicily were enslaved. Turgut Reis, a Turkish pirate chief, ransacked the coastal settlements of Granada (Spain) in 1663 and carried away 4,000 people as slaves. In 1625, Barbary pirates captured the Lund Island in the Bristol Channel and planted the standard of Islam. From this base, they went ransacking and pillaging surrounding villages and towns, causing a stunning spectacle of mayhem, slaughter and plunder. According to Milton, "Day after day, they struck at unarmed fishing communities, seizing the inhabitants, and burning their homes. By the end of the dreadful summer of 1625, the mayor of Plymouth reckoned that 1,000 skiffs had been destroyed and similar number of villagers carried off into slavery." Between 1609 and 1616, the Barbary pirates "captured a staggering 466 English trading ships" . . . pirates enslaved some 5,000 Europeans annually over a period of nearly three centuries.
This clearly demonstrated that the doctrine of Jihad as revealed by Allah in the Koran calls for forced conversion, particularly of idolaters, for establishing an imperial rule on a global scale with an integral purpose of economic exploitation of non-Muslim subjects and for engaging in slavery, including slave-trade and sex-slavery (alive in Israel today). These divine commands of Allah were meticulously acted upon by the prophet of Islam. With sword, he forcibly converted the polytheists of Arabia to Islam, created the first imperial state in Arabia by expelling and slaughtering the unyielding Jews en masse and enslaved the women and children of Jewish and polytheist tribes in large numbers. Prophet Mohammad and his comrades kept the young beautiful women as sex-slaves and concubines; he also sold some of the enslaved women. The Muslim caliphs and sultans, thereafter, embraced and expanded these ideal models of prophetic actions, creating an Islamdom of vast expanse.
All commands of the Koran, including for Jihad, must stand for all times. Therefore, the Islamic institutions of forced conversion, imperialism and slavery—if Allah's commands are to be obeyed—must persist for eternity. As for forced conversion, it must continue until such times that there remain no more infidels to be converted. However, even if all peoples of the earth are converted to Islam, some rebellious Muslims will always turn infidels through apostasy.
Therefore, technically the Islamic institution of forced conversion would not cease until the end of the world. As to the institution of slavery, it cannot cease to exist either, even if the whole world converts to Islam. Those who leave Islam through apostasy will always be legitimate targets for slaughter or enslavement. Additionally, Islamic law stipulates that, those infidels, converted to Islam after their capture in the battle-field, would remain slaves. The offspring of slaves will be slaves. This is "Islam, the Untold Story" (1hr. 12 min).
Thus, slavery, the divine institution of Allah, would remain an integral part of humanity through the ages. Regarding Islamic imperialism, the perpetuation of a global Islamic rule for eternity is the ultimate goal of Allah. Allah's command of Jihad—embraced by a lone person, Prophet Mohammad—has indeed achieved stunning success in the course of the last fourteen centuries. Prophet Mohammad and his successors converted tens of millions of infidels to Islam on pain of death, through enslavement as well as by coercing them to embrace Islam by subjection to severe economic exploitation. Muslims now constitute a staggering 1.4 billion, greater than 20 percent, of the world population. It has been made abundantly clear that Muslims have practiced the institution of slavery—slave-trade and sex-slavery included—on a grand scale well into the twentieth century. And of course, Islamic imperialism, established in the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa, Bangladesh and Pakistan amongst other places since the early times of Islam, would remain under perpetual Islamic rule. nl1288.htm
