The worship of pure, brutal force is the common thread that unites Islam with atheistic totalitarianism. It does bring to mind the prophecy:
Dan 11:36-38 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. (37) Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. (38) But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Religions that must use carnal force to grow have no spiritual power beyond that of the Destroyer, Satan. They, like their atheist counterparts, have succumbed totally to the wickedness of Nietzschean lust for raw power. Islam is Satanic, and I would not be at all surprised if the final, screeching expression of the antichrist spirit comes to us by way of the emerging caliphate. There will be such shock among them when the full evil of their true master is revealed to them at the end, when there is no turning back.
Which, BTW, is why it is a high crime against the love of God to fail to at least try to win them to Christ.
Amen! People are won to Christ one heart at a time and we must never give up the preaching of the gospel of the grace of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. One day, at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
