Clash of Civilizations!
But those are just symptoms of the real last-days final battle!

As we see the rise of todays militant Islam and do a study of its history we see that the forceful conversion by the sword and forced submission of infidels (non-Muslims) has been there since the time that the Prophet began to receive and strive to carry out his revelations from his god, Allah. Now there are Muslims today who do not believe in this militant understanding of the Korans writings, just as there are Christians who do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible nor that the sayings of Yeshua HaMashiach, Christ Jesus, are to be taken literally. What about you? Do you believe Jesus was really Who He said He was, the Word of God manifest in the flesh, eternally God and in these last days manifested as the only born1 Son of the Father, living in full submission and obedience to the Father even unto the point that He willingly offered up2 his life through the shedding of His blood on the cross as the final perfect sacrifice (Passover Lamb) to take away the sin of the world3? Do you believe that only a few will enter into Heaven4 and that even many who healed, cast out demons and worked miracles in His name will be refused entry into Heaven5? Do you believe that Jesus spoke the truth when he said only those who do the will of the Father will enter into Heaven6? If you believe these things then you are a radically fundamental Christian according to most of the world and many who call themselves Christians. Those who do not believe these words of Christ nor basically take the Bible in a literal sense (God said what He meant and meant what He said!) I refer to as unbelieving professing Christians and they are Christians in the same way that the Muslims who do not take the Koran literally refer to themselves as believing Muslims. It is true that truly believing Muslims must strive to carry out the commands of the Koran to subjugate (put in a lower second-class status without significant rights) all the nonMuslims of the world and eliminate all infidels in the end, especially eliminating all Jews and all those who stand with and in support of the Jews and Israel. Believing Islam 1[1] Strongs Greek definition # 3739 for the English word begotten used in John 3:16 2[2] John 10:14-18 I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by the ones that are Mine.

14 15 Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock, one Shepherd. 17 For this reason My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from My Father.

3[3] John 1:29 On the morrow, John sees Jesus coming toward him and said, Behold! The Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world! 4[4] Matthew 7:13-14 Go in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are
13

the ones entering in through it. 14 For narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way that leads away into life, and few are the ones finding it.

5[5] Matthew 7:21-27

21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!" 24 Then everyone who hears these Words from Me, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house on the rock; 25 and the rain came down, and the floods came up, and the winds blew, and fell against that house; but it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these Words of Mine, and who does not do them, he shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand; 27 and the rain came down, and the floods came up, and the winds blew and beat against that house; and it fell, and great was the collapse of it.

Father in Heaven

cannot peacefully co-exist with either believing biblical Christianityor any form of Judaism. Those who are a part of believing biblical Christianity must and will manifest the love of God not only to believers but also to Muslims, to all Jews, and to all people who have not accepted Yeshua as Messiah, even unto death. In contrast, true believing Muslims must strive to totally eliminate the Jews, Israel and all true Christians (who support Israel) and subjugate everyone else. The Infada of the Islamic faith against all infidels, especially against Israel, the Jews, and all who support them, is an absolute command of the Koran and a duty of all believing Muslims. In Russia for so many years and still in China, Vietnam and a few other areas today, those governments and groups who follow the religion of Communism are still persecuting, torturing, imprisoning and even in some cases executing believers. In India, Miramar, and some other areas today militant Hinduism is also on the rise with violent attacks, kidnapping, rape, forced conversions and even killing of Christians in many areas, with seizure or destruction of property, some even government supported, or in the case of Miramar, government mandated. As we see these attacks increasing on both fronts, Islamic and Hindu, along with Communist oppression, we need to understand that these, along with others, are just symptoms of the real underlying conflict that has been ongoing the beginning of man in the Garden, and even before. Lets back up now to before time as we know it on the earth began. God had created the heavens, the angels and the heavenly hosts, and Lucifer, the son of the morning7, and all created was very good.8 However, though all God made was very good, Lucifers pride and rebellion caused sin and evil to come into existence as a consequence of his rebellion against God, and in his seduction of the woman in the Garden and mans subsequent rebellion by also partaking of the forbidden fruit 9 sin entered the world and death by sin.10 Since the dawn of the ages, the conflict on the earth has been the symptoms of this continuing battle of Satan, to thwart the will of God to bring about the salvation of mankind who he had led to follow him in rebellion against Gods Word in the Garden. He comes only to kill, steal, and destroy11, and to entice human beings to emulate his pride, rebellion, greed, and disobedience and to be his emissaries to carry out his destructive work on the earth. He has been cast down and knows he has little time left 12 to carry out his destructive work. 7[7] See Isaiah 14:12 and context 8[8] Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning
the sixth day.

9[9] Genesis 3:1-7

And the serpent was cunning above every animal of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Is it true that God has said, You shall not eat from any tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 3 but of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. 4 And the serpent said to the woman, Dying you shall not die, 5 for God knows that in the day you eat of it, even your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God, knowing good and evil. 6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise. And she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed leaves of the fig tree, and made girdles for themselves.

10[10] Romans 5:12 Because of this, even as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed to all
men, inasmuch as all sinned.

11[11] Romans 10:10a The thief does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. 12[12] Revelation 12:7-17 And war occurred in Heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. And the dragon and his
7

angels made war, 8but they did not have strength, nor yet was place found for them in Heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, Now has come the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers is thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their testimony. And they did not love their soul even until death. 12 Because of this, be glad, the heavens and those tabernacling in them. Woe to the ones dwelling on the earth, and in the sea, because the devil came down to you having great anger, knowing that he has a little time! 13And when the dragon saw that he was cast out onto the earth, he pursued the woman who bore the male. 14And two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, away from the serpent's face. 15And the serpent threw water out of his mouth like a river after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried off by the river. 16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon threw out of his mouth. 17And the dragon was enraged over the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commandments of God, and having the

Therefore he is using all his servants including unbelieving but professing Christians who have closed themselves to the voice of the LORD and are easily deceived by the deceiver and will do his work. Unbelief and the injection of man-made doctrines and dogmas (often demonically inspired) into much of traditional Christianity have made many church groups and congregations little more than social clubs or humanitarian organizations. Others are as the Church of Laodicea13. The words and commands of Christ Jesus and His Word are not often taught as absolutes. This deception and counterfeit Christianity is nothing more than another tool of Satan to destroy the real work of God. Anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli beliefs and movements, with many associated with this counterfeit Christianity, are still another of Satans works to destroy the earlierCovenant people of God (known now mostly as the Jewish people) and the Nation of Israel that was reborn in 1948 in the Land by the Hand of God as prophesied in Gods Word. God calls the Land (the land biblically defined as the inheritance of Israel) His own at least nine times in the Tanach (Old Testament). Any who take a stand against and desire or strive to harm or destroy her shall incur Gods curse, for may times in the Word God says about Abraham and his children through which His Promise (of Messiah) would come (Isaac, Jacob / Israel, and the children of Israel) Those who bless thee I will bless, and those who curse thee I will curse. Buddhism, related Eastern meditation sects and the New Age movement are but other well-worn tools of Satan in more modern dress - to deceive mankind and keep him from the true Word that would lead him, if truly believed, to the truth of Christ Jesus as Lord and King, both of Israel and of those of the Church (biblical term: ecclesia - a community of "called-out ones") who believe on and obey Him. People have a right to believe what they choose, but they will be judged for their beliefs and corresponding actions by God in the end. Christians have a responsibility to proclaim the truth in love to all mankind as the LORD leads, proceeded by prayer and presented with compassion for a lost and hurting world. The Religion of Human Rights would have us to believe whatever we choose, but if we are Christians, we must never proclaim the ways of Christ Jesus and the Bible as being the only way to God and heaven. They insist evangelism is infringing on the human rights of others who do not know or believe in Christ Jesus or Christian values. Wherever this counter-religion is given authority or power it will move to inhibit, and destroy if possible, any true biblical Christian witness. Christians are called on to love all for whom Christ died and made the provision of eternal salvation available (all the world 14) but to hate the works and power of sin that leads and drives people to eternal destruction - as well as to misery and pain in this life. If a person truly becomes what is known as apostate (knowing the Truth but rejecting Him) then they place themselves outside His grace and set themselves to be the enemies of God, aligning themselves with those who are subjected to His judgment, as are the devil and his fallen angels. Even democracy, if not rooted and grounded in Gods Word and biblical JudeoChristian worldview and values, will lead to self-seeking humanism replacing the ways of God, which will prove to be the eventual but inevitable fall and destruction of those so entrapped. If there are no unalterable absolute values (specifically biblical values) as the
testimony of Jesus Christ.

13[] Revelation 3:17-18 Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are
wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.

14[] 1 John 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation relating to our sins, and not relating to ours only, but also relating to all the world.;
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord of the promise is not slow, as some deem slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not having purposed any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

foundation of any democracy or republic, then that nation is doomed for failure, no matter what it may look like from a human perspective, even if for a time it brings in a season of economic prosperity. This is not by any means an exhaustive list of the tools that Satan has used and is using to try to thwart the will of God. Witchcraft and Satanism abound in many forms as do earth-worship cults, often disguised as environmental movements. They often worship Mother Earth and most often vehemently oppose the Word of God. Environmental responsibility is a requirement for all believers, as we are stewards of all God has provided us, but we do not worship that which we steward. There are uncounted other religions and belief systems that stand opposed to the LORD God of Israel and His Word. Many worship money and power. The list is almost endless. However, it is the will of YHVH15 that each individual might believe on and, by voluntary submission, make Yeshua HaMashiach, Christ Jesus, the LORD of his life. As a consequence of this submission, empowered by the grace of God alone, he will receive salvation and will as a consequence of his salvation and the indwelling presence of God live a transformed holy life in submission and obedience (dead to self and alive unto Christ) in this world, and will receive Heaven and Gods eternal rewards there, forever being with the LORD. Each battle and attack is but only one of Satans ways to kill, steal, and destroy both the material creation of God (the earth and all that is therein - including mankind as a whole) and each individual person and his eternal destiny (when living this life as a true believer by Gods grace alone, saved from sin and empowered for a holy life). Yes, each is a battle of civilizations. Everyone who holds one of Satans opposing worldviews stands diametrically opposed to the Judeo-Christian biblical worldview (that is held by all mature true believers). Each of these individuals and groups holding these opposing values and worldviews should be recognized and their views and values rejected outright, or at least weighed against the Truth of God's Word and rejected if they are not in total harmony with it. The simplest form of the battle is but the sinful nature of man (imparted to each and every individual born - as a consequence of Adams transgression in the Garden) in rebellion to the Spirit and the Word of God. Only the indwelling presence of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit can give us victory, individually and corporately. The true Word of God must be clearly proclaimed in love by those who live it, that through the foolishness of preaching16 men who will may receive faith unto salvation. Each of us who is a Christian needs to clearly understand the wiles of the devil, recognizing those who proclaim his damning heresies, resisting these attacks, standing firm in faith, always following the Word of the Lord (the Bible) and being lead of Christ by the Holy Spirit, knowing God's faithfulness to us. His faithfulness gives us total assurance that in the end, no matter how the battles may seem to go, We win! in Christ Jesus. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a very good and very timely article. We are not in a war against terrorism! We are indeed in a war between civilizations, Islam (and others as mentioned) and Christianity (including the Jews). We are in the very last stages of what is shaping up to be the final battle that ends this civilization/ world as we know it (as with the flood). We stand almost at the door way to the third civilization which Christ will rule during the millennium. We are in the end of days spoken of by Daniel. Most people of today (many self called Christians included) are simply too busy, have to many plans of their own to be bothered with reality They stand in denial of Biblical truth because of their own selfish reasons. People/ proclaimed Christians alike, today, just dont want to hear it/ the truth. Much to my amazement, the Rapture etc. are not popular subjects in the American church today. On a personal note, I believe the Church as bought into some unsound theology that has put many to sleep, because they are looking for things to come that may already be here. In a day or two I will send you a couple of articles that have challenged some of my old ways of thinking. I have been trying to go back to Bible 101 basics and asking the Holy Spirit to tell me what certain passages really say, passages that todays church and theologians have figured out pat answers for. I am starting to believe that most of Daniel and Revelations may already be fulfilled. For example: After spending time on this side of the planet, there is little doubt that Muhammad is the False Prophet. Is the beast of Revelation indeed Islam? Is the beast Islam with the Saudi peace accords for Israel about to make a covenant with Israel guaranteeing them peace with their neighbors that they know ahead of time they will break as soon as Israel starts to relax. The Koran explicitly teaches that it is perfectly OK to sign an agreement with an enemy (to take advantage of them as Mislims did on many occasions and then turned around and brutally slaughtered those with whom he signed the treaty as soon as they are off guard naively believed the Muslim will keep his word.) Western governments today including ours, simply believe what they choose to believe in our politically correct world. Islam is not bashful about openly proclaiming their own rules of war and yet we refuse to believe. I apologize if I have gone to far astray from your article. This is a big frustration for me. Reality is written on the wall but we walk in denial. The Lord quickened me to produce the previous article originally when I read the text of a speech given by British Prime Minister Tony Blair in California some months ago. I wanted to write it immediately but the Lord would not give me clarity to do so until now. Three individuals have helped with critical reviews; help that is greatly appreciated.
