Reality that is Still to be Faced

What shall we say to a mindset, that several hundreds of years ago, swept across vast expanses of Asia and parts of Europe, stopped only by a resolve against the way of life proposed by an Arab mindset that contradicted what the Hebrew Holy Bible had to say about Jesus Christ.

What we are seeing today is a resumption (or actually a continuation)of those antipathies, that either Islam is intent to complete what the Islamic Prophet started in the 7^th century, or that elements of today's Christianity is on board to 'repel' all boarders.

Now, to try and convince this Christian that Islam is going to fail is not necessary, for it is written in the Holy Bible that enemies of Christ will have their chance to prevail, for their moment in the sun (read Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, words of Jesus Christ). Islam has come to the forefront in that capacity as readily as any other entity.

Within the reference of this reader's lifetime, Israel has been re-established, and who would have been any more surprised than the followers of Islam of Israel's emergence and resilience in the face of all who would do her harm. All of it comes as no surprise to any serious reader of the Holy Bible and the students of the WORD as each event predicted in the Holy Bible happens.

Now, is that what the Ft. Hood assassin was trying to prevent, the continuation of hostilities between the American forces and the Muslims' efforts directed at the Middle East by his fifth columnist efforts? We shall see.

By the way, no amount of action against the Muslim population in trying to prevent 'Islamization' of the world is going to compare to the problem Islam has trying to defeat Israel. That is the reality that is still to be faced by non-believers in the True Jesus Christ.
