Fate of the World and Fallen Mankind

                                  The Fate of the World and Fallen Mankind

               Iran vows enemies won't escape without a 'lesson' amid warning                                             of ‘major world war’(Headlines sunday 3-29-26)                                 

                                            

Going over the latest news stories about  World Events I have come to a most disturbing conclusion that asks the question: who will launch the first Nuke? I feel it's getting extremely close to that one privotal event. Why? Ukraine and Russia at war. For over 4 years now. No end to the conflict on the horizon. (Russia’s war in Ukraine is estimated to have caused roughly two million military casualties in all. Ukraine’s General Staff estimated that some 418,000 Russian troops were killed or wounded last year, bringing total Russian casualties for the war to just over 1.25 million.) China sitting back just waiting for an opportune time. The time to ponce on Taiwan with its massive military machine. Overpowering and taking control of the island that refuses to bow to a vicious communist idealogy  controlled by an authoritarian Chinese regrime.                                                          

                                                   

The country of Taiwan seems to be always teetering on the edge of a precipice into the abyss of tyrannical dictatorial subjugation. Add to that the latest drastic measure of the United States. A war with Iran that almost no one believes will end in a few more weeks. The latest reveal seems to solitify that belief. As the said military involvement has now escalated to the sending of 10,000 American troops into the region. (on top of the 5,000 Marines and sailors and roughly 2,000 members of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division who have already been dispatched to the region, according to the Wall Street Journal.)                                                  

Boots on the ground where no boots were promised to ever set foot. Seems like the American people who were promised no new wars is getting the said boot in a place where the sun don't shine. Knowing full well this will most  likely result in more deaths of American soliders and Iranian citizens. Which I believe nobody wants. But what we just might get. Those now in charge seem stubbornly dedicated to flexing  their military prowess before the world. Even lobbing missles at other muslim ruled nations in the mid east.            

                                   

                                                                                    

Truth is that the Trump Iranian plan was sorely needed being that Iran seemed to be weeks or even days from having an atomic weapon.  They fooled everyone when they fired missles that traveled over 2500 miles to their destinations. Something no other nation seemed to know that they had the capability to accomplish.                                                                                                               

                                                           

The shite  leaders of Iran proved by their response to America's bombing of their country. That Trumps decision to put to a halt Irans ability to develop a nuclear bomb was justified. To prohibit them from accomplishing that goal of having a nuclear weapon. And thus holding captive both America and the nation of Israel which the Iranian shites muslims want to wipe from the face of the earth. There is a distain and hated that dates itself back thousands of years.                                                                                                                                                    

                                       

Some comments made by Iranian muslims toward the nation Israel include: calling Israel a cancerous tumor that needs to be destroyed;  Their threats constitute incitement to genocide under international law, violating fundamental principles of state conduct and human rights; Iran funds and arms proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah specifically to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians, as documented by intelligence agencies; Holocaust denial by Iranian leadership serves to delegitimize Israel's existence and normalize antisemitic conspiracy theories worldwide; Iran's policies destabilize the entire Middle East, threatening millions of civilians across the region regardless of nationality or religion; and last but not least Iran's nuclear program is viewed by experts as potentially aimed at acquiring capabilities to threaten Israel's existence. After how Iran has acted in developing a nuclear weapon I think all can see that they would use it to destroy the nation of Israel. And hold the entire world to nuclear blackmail.                                                 

                                                                  

 Yet it still seems that many of those who supported him have become flustered with Trump when he promsied the MAGA base and everyone else no new wars. Now with the Iranian situation some are calling him a liar. Remembering his "No New Wars"  promise as Trump's war with Iran hits the escalation mode.     

 Many in his camp now seem disillusioned, disappointed and some just plain angry at being told one thing and seeing another  thing they never wanted to happen come to fruition. They scream "what about America first!" Which now seems to have gotten pushed from the front of this administrations policies to last on the list. Through one could argue President Trump in taking on Iran had that very thought in mind.                              

                                         

What a tangled, confused and deadly web is being weaved by an adminstration where their leader has been misleading in his promises. And many now believe the King, as he is referred to by the radical left marxists, stands naked before the world with shameless excuses for this war. No promise to stand on. No words to put out the flames of distrust.                                                      

                                

 As Rome burns, metaphorically,  some people who help put him in office feel decieved. They now sense that the King has no clothes to cover his cupability in involving us in a war nobody asked for, expected or ever wanted. They voted for Trump to put America first in holding fast the influx of illegals across the border; they looked forward to the lowering of prices on all goods, including  grocery prices on food items, the price of gasoline for their vehicles.And making it so that our lifestyles be so much more than struggling to make ends meet. Things that haven't happened and for many have gotten even worse.                                                                                               

The Bible declares All men are liars.  As Game Show Monty Hall pontificated to the audience with the audacious words, "Let's make a deal."  The game show that started in 1963 and lasted for 30 years. Yet that deal requires some special work of the one it is associated with. As former Beatle drummer Ringo Starr would sing, "It don't come easy. You know it don't come easy!"  It ain't a free ride, so to speak.  Sounds like a good deal? Yea, but you're not getting something for nothing.  Unfortunately in war that requires the currency of sacrifice and  death. It is the ultimate expensive price required for any sort of victory in an action of this type. Unforturately that may get a lot worse before things get better. But please hope and pray that it doesn't.  

                                               

                                                    

The Christian Bible reveals that all of humankind is fallen. With the propensity toward doing what is evil.  So reveals the Apostle James.  But you don't need me to tell you that. Unless you've been secluded somewhere in a cave in the deepest, darkest topography on planet earth from the news of the day. Both national and local. Or you are living in a make believe world where everything is beautiful in it's own way. Your life mimicking the 1970 grammy award winning song from Ray Stevens. Who died in 1996. Thirty years ago. God rest his soul.                                                                                         

                                                                                             

I don't mean to sound so cynical. I do acknowledge there is good in the world. Yet there are those who accomplish so called good deeds that harbor ulterior motives. In other words it makes them look good and feel better about themselves. They want to be the center of attraction. And they want the recognition they are the one who deserves the praise and adulation of others. In other words they want to be put on that pedestal of notoriety. To be adored and venerated. They can do some wonderful things. Even help ease the burden of those less  fortunate. But their motives are not always totally without selfish ends.   

                                                                                                

In the Old Testament the serpent of Old, the devil, satan in genesis chapter 3 questions God's first humans with the words, "has God said?" Then adds the allurring caveat to reel mankind into its trap,"You won't die." When the Lord God Almighty warned them they would die. The serpent regaled them saying "Don't believe what God said. He's trying to keep something back from you. No, you won't die if you disobey God's  command.  You'll be like God.  Knowing good and evil." Self aggrandisement insured by the father of lies. Unfortuately for all of us  they did believe the lie of the serpent, satan, the devil. Because of their transgression and unbelief they were expelled from the garden of Eden to fend for themselves, they aged and died. Because they were humanties first representatives.  God subjected all of creation to futility. They sinned and so all have sinned who are born of a woman. Thus Sin and Death became the fate of all the human race.                                                                                               

That serpent of old. The devil,  called the adversary of all mankind, still prowls around today like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He is not our friend. He appeals to our fallen sinful nature repeating, "has God said, has God forbidden that?" Sin comes natural to the human heart.  We sin simply because we like it. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. All of us need forgiveness. All need to be brought from darkness to light. To the light of the world. To be brought from death to life. Everyone needs the light of the world....That light is Jesus Christ--the Way, Truth and Life--who says, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)                                                                                                                                             

 Jesus came down from heaven that we  might have life, and have it more abundantly. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. All of us are dead in our trespasses and sins following  the course of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that works in the sons of disobedience and we are BY NATURE.... children of God's Wrath. We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners. We are born that way. Prophet, Priest and King...David proclaimed, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,(wickedness) And in sin my mother conceived me. Ps 51:5....All of humanity is subjected to the fallen nature with the propensity to disobey and offend a Holy and Righteous God.   

                                                  

Jesus Christ is not just an option. He is the only One by which we aquire everlasting life in the kingdom of God.  I have heard people say, "Oh that's the way you think about it. That's the way you feel...or that's what is good for you."   No!!!! NO!!!! No!!!!For all have sinned. All need to be rescued, from this present evil age...we must be delivered from the power of darkness, which has a hold on humanity, and brought into the kingdom of the Son of His love. In whom we have redemption, through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  For without the shedding of blood there is no remission.(forgiveness--Hebrews 9:22) This verse emphasizes that under the Mosaic Law, purification and forgiveness were symbolically and literally tied to blood sacrifices. Blood represented life itself, and its shedding was required to atone for sin and restore fellowship with God.                                                                       

                                        

Everyone needs redemption from our sinful predicament. No amount of good works done apart from Christ can save a person. For all our righteous acts are as filthy rages. Jesus Himself said "You must be perfect as God the Father in heaven is perfect."  No one is or ever will be of their own volition perfect.  Sin has contaminated our entire being. We are tainted, corrupt, unclean. As explained by the Apostle Paul in the letter to the Romans:                                              

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate (wicked, debased) mind, to do those things which are not fitting;m being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,  backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans :18-19; 29-32)

God takes our transgressions very seriously. Without  Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Death is spent eternally in the everlasting fires of hell. Per the words of the Savior, Jesus Christ Himself. Who spoke about the abode of the wicked more than anyone in the bible.                                                                               

                                               

“If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.” – Mark 9:43                          

“But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” – Luke 12:5  

 “They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” – Matthew 13:42                                                                                                          

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'” – Matthew 25:41                                                     

“where‘ Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’ Mark 9:48                            

He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. (Rev 14:10)                                                                                            

“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matt. 25:41;44-46)

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Rev 21:8)                                                                                      

 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt. 7:13-14) 

                                           

Jesus believed, Jesus preached, Jesus spoke about and warned repeatly about the eternality of Hell. For all those who deny and refuse to accept Him as their Savior and Lord. He stressed it was only through Him: The Way, the Truth and the Life, the Blessed Hope of mankind, that salvation, forgiveness of sins and a citzenship in heaven are secured. When one repents, confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Believing that God has raised Him from the dead. That you may trust and obey the God who did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  (John 3:17)                                        

Only the Word who was in  the beginning with God and was God can cleanse us from our sinful nature. Can make us right with God. Only by God's grace through faith and not of ourselves are we brought from darkness to light and from death to life. It is God's gift to His chosen and elect people. God bestows upon sinners through his only Son a citizenship in heaven. An everlasting life in the presence of God and the glory of His power.  

 

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, (John 1:14)

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;  and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.  And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.  Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”  And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.  But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”  When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.” (Matthew 17:1-9) 

                                               

 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone [a]from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.  He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

                         HE IS RISEN! 

                                                                                                HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!
       

God is calling....Are You Listening?

 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. (Ps. 19:7-9)

Those who have a citizenship in heaven are those who have been washed, (washed from their sins by the blood of Christ shed on the cross) ,those who have been sanctified (set apart for God)  and those have been justified (as having never sinned against God by Faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross) in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:11)

One Way, One truth, One life. God sent His Son to save His people from their sins. "Who have been born again, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13)

Those who have not confessed, repented of their sin, and have trusted in the only name under heaven by which anyone is saved. They are then ones who have denied God's gift to the world: The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. (Isaiah 3:9)

Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies; They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah. (Jeremiah 23:14)

And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”(Mark 6:11)

but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:29)

and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; (2 Peter 2:6)

as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)

Psalm 9:17, which states: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." This verse emphasizes the fate of the wicked and serves as a warning about the consequences of ignoring God and His righteousness. It highlights the importance of maintaining a relationship with God and the potential dire consequences of turning away from Him.

His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,  And he is caught in the cords of his sin. (Proverbs 5:22)

“Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” – James 1:15 (sin progressively leads from physical death to spiritual death and to eternal death. An eternity absent from the presence of God and glory of His power in Hell. the abode of the wicked. Where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. (Jesus warning of the fate of the wicked who do not believe. "where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’(Mark 9:48) Those in hell, being completely cut off from God, exist with a nagging, guilty conscience that, like a persistent worm, gnaws away at its victim with a remorse that can never be mitigated. (lessen the gravity of the offense). God sends out His call to his people. Jesus Christ is the One who gives us rest, from the wearinessd and hopelessness of a lost and dieing world. A world drowning in the unfathomable of corruptible sin.                                                                         God subjected the entire creation to futility (vainty, worthlessness, uselessness,)  No matter what the word worm refers to, the most important thing to be gained from these words of Christ is that we should do everything in our power to escape the horrors of hell, and there is only one thing to that end—confessing with our mouth Jesus is Lord and believing  in our heart that God raised Him from the dead...repenting of our sins, regenerated and born again,  born from above by God's mercy and grace through faith and not of ourselves. It is God's gift. God calls us from darkness to light. From death to life. (In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins. John 4:10) 

The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. (Ps. 9:17)

This is to be understood either of the corruption of nature, which he found by experience to be in him; and which, because of its force, power, and prevalence it sometimes had in him, he calls "a law"; it forcibly demanding compliance with its lusts; and is the same with what he calls "evil", and which the Jews so frequently style  "the evil imagination", by which they mean the corruption of nature;  the very name it goes by here, and which they say God calls it, ( Genesis 6:5 ) ; and well may it be so called, since it is originally, naturally, and continually evil; it is evil in its nature and consequences; it is the source and spring of all evil: (John Gill)

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners, we are born that way. (Ps. 51:5) For God has subjected all things (the entire Universe in fact) to corruption. Best said that the secret things belong to God. He is beyond our scope of reasoning and thought. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. (1 Cor. 2:11) Want to truly know God, get into and study God's word for: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,  so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (1 Timothy 3:16-17) 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)

That wisdom and knowledge has been imparted to us in His Word. Which has come to us by His Word. Jesus the Christ. The Word who was in the beginning with God and is God. The Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. 

God's eternal love for mankind spans the scope of all time. When He created he saw that everything (including man) was good. The disobedience of God's first created made in His image in believing a lie rather than God's warning to them caused them to be cast from God and became subject to death. yet even in this transgression God had a plan of salvation,                                 

And I will put enmity

Between you(the serpent, the devil, satan) and the woman,

And between your seed (humanity) and her Seed; (the Messiah, Yahshua, Jesus Christ)

He shall bruise your head, (here of the Messiah, the eminent seed of the woman, should bruise the head of the old serpent the devil, that is, destroy him and all his principalities and powers, break and confound all his schemes, and ruin all his works, crush his whole empire, strip him of his authority and sovereignty, and particularly of his power over death, and his tyranny over the bodies and souls of men; all which was done by Christ, when he became incarnate and suffered and died, ( Hebrews 2:14 Hebrews 2:15 ) ( Colossians 2:15 ) ( 1 John 3:8 John Gill)

And you shall bruise His heel.”( by the heel of Christ is meant his human nature, which is his inferior and lowest nature, and who was in it frequently exposed to the insults, temptations, and persecutions of Satan, and was at last brought to a painful and accursed death; though by dying he got an entire victory over him and all his enemies, and obtained salvation for his people. (John Gill)

There is Hope, A Blessed Hope of deliverance from the hold of our sinful human nature. God gave His only Son, to become one of His own creation--man--to accomplish what any man of the flesh could do, tainted as they are through and though with a disobedient, corruptible, rebellious nature, at enmity with God. Jesus became what all those blood sacrifices in the Old Testament were alluding  too. He is indeed the passover lamb that saved Israel from the death angel. He is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 

“Christ is the Morning Light, the rising Sun, Mal. 4:2 (Matthew Henry)                                                    Jesus is “The true light that enlightens every man that came  into the world." (John 1:9)                   

 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)                                                                                     Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;  and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.  (Matthew 17:1-2)                                                                                                        As it was in Matthew, the face of Christ as the sun is likewise revealed at Revelation 1:16:“…"in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.”                                                                                                                     

That brighness reveals His absolute Glory and holiness. Pure, unstained by sin, perfect in all He says and does. Perfect man for he is perfect God. The Word who was with gods and the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. The apostle John tells us "we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)                                                                           In Malachi 4:2 the prophet says "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;"                                                                                                                      The One described as the “sun of righteousness” can be no other than Jesus Christ Himself. The Lord is called “the LORD your righteousness” in Jeremiah 23:6. And the coming of the Messiah is pictured as a sunrise in several passages. “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). See also 2 Samuel 23:4; Habakkuk 3:4; and Luke 1:78-79.                                  ans 15:13

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(Romans 15:3)

Hope, Biblical Hope, came down from heaven in the person of God's Son. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." Scrpture tells us God is love. The world used here for love and the word used in john 3:16 are the same. Agape....This is loving someone  

Chief End Of Man

                           The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.

To glorify God: This means recognizing, honoring, and exalting God’s perfect character and works. Humans, created in God’s image, are called to reflect His glory in all aspects of life, acknowledging His supreme worth, majesty, and sovereignty. Glorifying God involves actions, thoughts, and intentions that honor Him above self-interest.
To enjoy Him forever: This conveys the eternal blessing of knowing God intimately and experiencing loving fellowship with Him. Enjoying God is both the reward and the natural outcome of a life lived in accordance with His will, providing spiritual fulfillment and joy.

Our time here on planet earth is short.....
eternity is forever..... Where will you spend it?????

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”(John 3:36)

Words of Jesus The Christ: And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt. 10:28)

Words of Jesus: And these (the wicked who do not believe) will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matt. 25:46)

Words of Jesus: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt. 7:13-14)

When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed. (2 Thess. 1:7-10 Apostle Paul)

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:10-13 Apostle Peter)
                                              

                                                  

Yet before the destruction of the old earth and creation of a new heaven and new earth: the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory....For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.... And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other...
And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (Matt. 24:29-31; 1 Thess. 4:16-18)
                                                

                                                   

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Rev. 21:8)
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators (sexually immoral), nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

                                         

     

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Cor 1:18)
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”(John 3:36)

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 6:23)

The Truth of Islam

                                                     

The ultimate goal of Islam  is not just personal piety — but societal transformation under Allah’s rule.

Islam as System: The Legal and Political Machine

Islam is not merely concerned with how you pray or fast — it tells you:

How to govern.

Who to marry.

What to eat, say, wear, and believe.

What to do with apostates, blasphemers, critics, and unbelievers.

The Shariah is not optional. It is the codified will of Allah, based on:

The Qur’an

The Hadith

The consensus of jurists (ijma’)

                                             

And it has real-world consequences:

Amputations in Nigeria.

Stonings in Iran.

Apostasy executions in Afghanistan.

Blasphemy trials in Pakistan.

Hijab mandates in Saudi Arabia.

This is not “spiritual law.” It is civil and criminal governance — a system designed to replace man-made law with divine decree.

What sets Islam apart from most other religions is its ideological scope.

                                       

Islam is not a religion in the Western sense. It is a total system: legal, political, economic, cultural, and military.

In classical and modern texts alike, Islam is portrayed as:

A civilization that must dominate others (Qur’an 9:33).

A state project (Caliphate) that must be revived.

A worldview that must be protected from critique (blasphemy laws).

A social order in which believers are superior and unbelievers subdued (Qur’an 9:29).

                                       

Islam does not separate mosque and state, religion and law, private belief and public enforcement. This is not accidental — it is structural.

The ultimate goal is not just personal piety — but societal transformation under Allah’s rule.

                        

If you treat Islam as only a religion, you misunderstand its legal demands.

If you treat it as just a legal system, you miss its doctrinal justifications.

If you recognize it as an ideology, you begin to understand the threat it poses to pluralism, secularism, and freedom.

Islam is a unified system. Its power lies precisely in its fusion of:

Theological certainty

Legal enforcement

Political ambition

                                        

It is not enough to say “Islam is peaceful” because a Muslim prays. Nor is it sufficient to call it “misunderstood” because not all Muslims are terrorists.

What matters is not what individual Muslims believe.

What matters is what the system of Islam commands, and how that system functions when it gains power.

Until Islam is disentangled — until its religious elements are separated from its legal and ideological machinery — it will continue to clash with the values of open societies.

                                     

To tolerate Islam as a personal faith is just.

To ignore Islam as a political ideology is dangerous.

To critique Islam’s legal system is not Islamophobia — it’s rational defense of liberty.

Know the difference. And never confuse ritual submission with peaceful coexistence. 

(Spotlight on Islam)

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.  Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.  You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.  (John 8:42-45)
