War is inevitable, and we are all, unavoidably, participants.

Before the father of the tribes that would become Islam was even born, emnity was forseen between Islam and the Children of the Promise…

Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her [Hagar], “I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.” The angel of the LORD said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. “He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers.” — from Genesis chapter 16

The war between Israel and Islam is just a subset of a greater battle, however.

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.” — from Genesis chapter 3

The Devil was a deceiver from the beginning and he will continue to deceive until he’s thrown into the pit. The Devil’s disciples, the Pharisees, deceived the people into executing Jesus. The Devil deceived those who became the Nazis to destroy the Jews.

if you are a Christian, you are a member of the Children of the Promise. You’ve been grafted into the tree that was ordained by God to be participating in the redemption of the world through Jesus Christ.

And if you are a Christian, You are no less a target of the wrath of the Islamic world than is Israel. Many are predicting World War Iii, but that war was initiated from the beginning of time, and the current chapter of it was initiated on September 11th 2001.

The mainstream media, at the direction of their master, are downplaying the atrocities committed in the most recent attack on Israel. The very first communication from our government in the US was to tell Israel not to retaliate, again playing into the hands of the devil. While condemning the atrocious acts of Hamas before the press, the US government is working at placating the Islamic world even as I write.

You rarely hear of the honor killings done in the US by Muslim parents to their children, or men to their wives, in the name of Islam. You have not heard the gruesome details of the killings done in this recent attack, at least from the mainstream media, but you will hear of deaths inflicted by the Israelis on the citizens of Gaza.

The citizens of Gaza elected Hamas as their government, which is not surprising considering they are 99% Muslims. Hamas intentionally built their whole military infrastructure underneath their residences, their mosques, and their schools and hospitals in tunnels buried nearly 100 feet deep.

In response to the horrific things that have and will be happening at the hands of Islamic soldiers, you will hear the “what abouts” referring to the atrocities committed by a corrupt Catholic Church centuries ago.

Women were just recently given the ability to drive in Saudi Arabia as long as they were authorized to by a male guardian, a father, son or husband.

According to Wikipedia, honor killings are considered more acceptable than homosexuality in many Islamic countries. A wife going out without a veil in public or a daughter listening to Western music is justification for their death.

These are atrocities going on In this century, in this decade, and this year and this day.

Many of the Americans protesting the actions of Israel would be thrown off a building or otherwise tortured and killed just for their manner of dress and lifestyle choices, were they there in Gaza or Iran.

We have been and continue to be in a war, a war between light and darkness, a war between the People of God and those who are deceived by Satan.

“Choose this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24:15

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” — from Revelation chapter 19
