The Time for Being 'Peaceful' Without the Prince of Peace is Closing

There is a time and place for everything: Ecclesiastes paraphrased.

The Islamic Revolutionary regime in Iran is moving things closer to their dream of the global caliphate; and if the things we see continue in the Biblical fashion that they are, disciples of Christ need, more than ever, to exude the love of Christ in a way for those who cannot accept the brutality they see in the world as an example of true Christianity. This means that Almighty God is calling for reliance upon Him to sort out the uprisings in the Middle East according to His plan and providence.

It is correct to presume that Islam will never get its way totally in this world: it is a Biblical impossibility. However, Islam can be and is being used to send a message of judgment the same way the Assyrians were sent to the unbelieving northern kingdom of Israel and it is happening again.

Now, a 'peaceful' Muslim is considered apostate by the fundamentalists and are in as much if not more trouble than people not called Muslims in the first place. Apostasy from Islam has a death sentence pronounced upon them and if caught as charged, are facing the sentence at any time.

But, there is a peace that surpasses all understanding, the peace of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ; AND it is available, even to Muslims whose peaceful applications of their belief system will eventual fail them and believing in a loving Saviour will provide a better resource for living peacefully.

But the caution must be pronounced: the time IS approaching, and quite quickly, when even attempting to warn of the approaching judgment (holocaust) of the revelation will be completed and to seek or obtain a relationship with Jesus Christ will occur under circumstances one would not wish on their worst enemy as a Christian.

The caution is for any who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Messiah before the trigger of the Ezekiel scenario, now is the appointed time for asking for His forgiveness and accepting Him into the heart in faith. The believer prior to the removal of the Church has nothing to fear; fear is reserved for those who do not decide in time.

It is correct therefore to make the statement that there is nothing else to give them, except to warn them of the impending destruction their leadership is casting them towards. Theirs will be the greater fear.
