COMING NEXT YEAR ... A NEW BOOK  * [6:9] The altar: this altar corresponds to the altar of holocausts in the temple in Jerusalem; see also Rev 11:1. Because of the witness…word of God: literally, “because of the word of God and the witness they had borne.” ISIL - ISLAMIC STATE of IRAQ and the LEVANT LEVANT - Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey The above-right picture was the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians on a beach near Tripoli, Libya, where ISIL has established a new presence. I don't have proof that the location had some significance to ISIL, but this heinous crime was committed on the "Shores of Tripoli". This verse comes from the official hymn of the United States Marine Corps and it refers to Tripolitian War or the Barbary Coast War (1801-1805), was the first of two wars fought between the United States and the Northwest African Berber Muslim states.  Islamic State terrorist groups like Boko Haram, ISIL, ANF, ABM, AaS, AQIM, AQAP, Al-Shabaab and the Taliban are not Muslims, they're Monsters.
In the 14th book Surat Ibrahim (Abraham) of the Quran, it addresses these IS extremist groups abhorrent behavior from Satan vs the peaceful behavior from God for the vast majority of Muslims: 14:22-23. "22.When everything has been decided, Satan will say, 'God gave you a true promise. I too made promises but they were false ones: I had no power over you except to call you, and you responded to my call, so do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I reject the way you associated me with God before.' A bitter torment awaits such wrongdoers,23. but those who believed and did good deeds will be brought into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain with their Lord's permission: their greeting there is 'Peace’.

COMING NEXT YEAR ... A NEW BOOK  Revelation 10:5-11 5Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them, “There shall be no more delay. 7At the time when you hear the seventh angel blow his trumpet, the mysterious plan of God shall be fulfilled, as he promised to his servants the prophets.” 8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9So I went up to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. He said to me, “Take and swallow it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey.” 10I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and swallowed it. In my mouth it was like sweet honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11Then someone said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”   "THE SMALL SCROLL"
The New Colossus by Jewish-American Poet - Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" COMING NEXT YEAR ... A NEW BOOK  St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. |
AuthorSomeone once criticized me on Pinterest about not reading enough. I read and write about good vs evil and right now, that's all I have time for. My favorite books are the Bible and anything written by John le Carre. Archives
