Hebraic
Musing – Are we paying attention to Conjecture, or to the FACTS?
The church has been
paying a lot of attention to predictions of The End Times. We conjecture about the
significance of the four blood moons and eclipses, i.e. Jonathan Cahn’s book
“The Harbinger”, etc. Here are a few familiar
Biblical warnings that we easily recognize and then we conjecture as to when
and how:
·
Daniel 12:4
“Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
·
Matthew
24:37 “As it was in the days of
Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
·
1
Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit clearly says
that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits
and things taught by demons.”
·
Revelation 13:17 “no one could buy or sell unless he had the
mark,”
Meanwhile there are actual happenings, FACTS, not being fully revealed
by our news media. Below is a (November
2009) message in its entirety from Geert Wilders, a Dutch Member
of Parliament, describing the factual situation in Europe. To be safe, I sent the message to a trusted,
well-informed friend living in Belgium to check the veracity and he said “I see absolutely nothing in it with which I
disagree.” Furthermore, he said “The facts are not in doubt. What is in doubt is how long God still puts up
with all this before HE pulls the plug.”
This is longer than
my customary one page ‘Musing’, but the Spirit has prompted me to be a Watchman.
Read it carefully and thoughtfully as
his predictions are coming true! (I
lived in Belgium 1988-91 and felt these beginnings.)
Points to Ponder after reading
Who else needs to consider these FACTS?
What will America be like in ten years? Five years?
Chazak, Chazak, v’Nit chazak! (Be strong, be strong, and may we be
strengthened!)

The Lights are Going Out All Over Europe
By Geert Wilders, Dutch Parliament Member November 16, 2009
Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me. I
come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.
There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be
optimistic.
We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only
is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a
threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United
States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic
Europe.
First I will describe the situation on the
ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To
close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.
The Europe you know is changing. You have probably
seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks
away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the
world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising, entire
Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even
seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as
well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in
figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their
husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The
shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to
find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by
religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming
in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial
control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street,
neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout
Europe with larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every
European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every
church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter
Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseilles and Malmo in Sweden. In many
cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now
surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammad is the most
popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the
farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning
the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only
serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten
up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore,
whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to
stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors
deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is
increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be
taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part
of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas
for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being
beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the
Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on
the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II.
French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya,
Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live
in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25
percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from
now. Bernhardt Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of
this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the
numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong
desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research
Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater
than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to
suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that
one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide
caliphate Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this
is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing
to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We
have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful
behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example
against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has
seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieue (suburbs).
I call the perpetrators settlers, because that is what they are.
They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate
our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed
exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their
neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are
now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed
the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and
cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let
us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no
problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had
several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought
in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war
executed. Mohammad himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu
Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for
Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a
god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political
ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the
life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.
Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and
democracy, because what it strives for is Sharia. If you want to
compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism,
these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam
'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf
to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative
and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited
it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the
Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including
Auschwitz. Second because it is a democracy. And third because
Israel is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of
jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the
front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern
Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is
simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against
the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows
that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel,
Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy
and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their
children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America
can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning
Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities.
But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace
to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all
of a sudden change their behavior and accept our values. On the
contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the
forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of
Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel
would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning.
It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can
get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer
to label any and all critics of Islam as a ’right-wing extremists' or
'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the
population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one
policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam
as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist
attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The
lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic
Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland,
an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as
its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.
With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the
heritage of Rome, Athens, and Jerusalem
Dear friends, Liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation
never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver
platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All
throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who
never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does
not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over
this hard-won liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it
was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and
imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot
squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to
stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and understand
what is written here, please send it to every free person that you know -
it is so very important."
