Large Fireball Flashes Across Northwest, ‘In The Past Month There’s Been An Increase In Fireballs Around The World’

Luke 21:25-26, “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”

But as bright as these fireballs are they will still all pale in comparison to the brightness of Christ’s coming …

Matthew 24:27, “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Star Tribune – “Dozens of people reported seeing a fireball flash across Northwest skies at about 6 a.m. Wednesday, moving east to west.

Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society told the Statesman Journal it had 165 reports from sky watchers in the Northwest and Canada.

Mostly clear skies made it more visible at a time when people were heading to work or school.

Dick Pugh of Portland State University told KGW that the flash apparently was a small piece of an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere.” Source – Star Tribune.

Syria: Thousands Of Families Flee, Children Crying In Fear As Islamists Besiege Two Villages In Search Of Christians To Kill

John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Christian Today – “Islamist rebels besieged two Christian villages in Syria, killing around 13 people and forcing thousands of families to evacuate their homes.

Militants from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front stormed Saddad and Haffar on Monday last week (21 October). Until then, the villages had been relatively safe, and thousands of internally displaced families had sought refuge there.

A Barnabas Fund partner described the scene as 60 armed vehicles entered Saddad: ‘As the vehicles and armed personnel made their way through the streets, the shouting of ‘Allah Akbar’ [‘Allah is great’] and the touting of the Quran made it clear to both permanent and displaced that their time of relative tranquility was quickly coming to an end. As the armed groups began to set up sniper posts and a campaign of shelling, the day moved from bad to worse.’

He said children were crying in fear as the militants took over the villages. It is thought that they were being used as a launching point for strikes against a nearby army base and arsenal. The villages are strategically located between the central city of Homs and the capital Damascus.

Around 13 people were killed, with many more wounded, and while many fled, thousands were held as a human shield.

Our partners helped Christian families to evacuate to neighbouring villages, Homs and Damascus. Barnabas sent funds to provide transport, blankets, food parcels and other essentials.” Read more.

The mortars have repeatedly hit in his mainly Christian district of Damascus, al-Qassaa, reportedly killing at least 32 people and injuring dozens of others the past two weeks. ‘You don’t know when and you don’t know where they hit …'” Read more.

Saudi Cleric Issues Fatwa Against Muslims Visiting Mars, It Will ‘Lead To The Destruction Of Those Who Try’

Would it be ok if there were infidels on Mars to kill? Considering Islam’s twisted logic it would have to be why a Muslim cleric can issue a fatwa against missions to Mars, but not against suicide missions here on Earth. And if it should “be done with animals, not people” like this cleric suggests, I can think of a few animals of the Islamist species that would fit the bill nicely …

Just Not Muslims, Apparently

News.com.au – “A SAUDI sheikh has issued a fatwa against anyone wanting to travel to Mars.

A member Saudi Arabia’s board of religious scholars Sheikh Ali al Hemki has criticised the Mars One project which is attempting to organise a commercial mission to the red planet and has drawn expressions of interest from more than 200 thousand people worldwide.

The Ah Hayat newspaper quotes him as saying the mission does not conform to ‘responsible Muslim’ practices.

‘These experiments will lead to the destruction of those who try,’ and so should be done with animals, not people,’ he said.

‘Believers should not should throw themselves into their own hands into perdition.’

While 477 Saudi citizens have applied for the mission, only six have so far been accepted.

The Mars One project aims to create the first human settlement on the Solar System’s second-smallest planet.

More than 2500 Australians have applied for the one-way trip to Mars, which will double as a reality TV show.” Read more.

‘Allah Is Greater!’: Muslim Call To Prayer Inside CHRISTIAN Church In Germany (Video)

Islam denies the Son. Islam denies the Crucifixion. In doing so, Islam is Antichrist by denying the very foundation upon which the Christian faith is built and has absolutely no business whatsoever standing in the temple of God. If your pastor ever permits the Muslim call to prayer which proclaims “Allah is Greater!” and refuses to repent, then make every effort to either work towards having him removed from the pulpit, or find yourself a new church …

Qur’an Sura 4:157, “And [for] their saying, ‘Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.’ And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them…”

How Historic Revisionism Justifies Islamic Terrorism

• Recommended: Changing Times: The Latest In Islam’s Revisionist History
• Recommended: Memories, Historical Artifacts, Monuments, Buildings: Islamists Are Eliminating History

By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag – “How important, really, is history to current affairs?  Do events from the 7th century—or, more importantly, how we understand them—have any influence on U.S. foreign policy today?

By way of answer, consider some parallels between academia’s portrayal of the historic Islamic jihads and the U.S. government’s and media’s portrayal of contemporary Islamic jihads.

While any objective appraisal of the 7th century Muslim conquests proves that they were just that—conquests, with all the bloodshed and rapine that that entails—the historical revisionism of modern academia, especially within Arab and Islamic studies departments, has led to some portrayals of the Muslim conquerors as ‘freedom-fighters’ trying to ‘liberate’ the Mideast from tyrants and autocrats. (Beginning to sound familiar?)

Today’s approach to teaching the history of the Muslim conquests of the 7th century is something as follows: Yes, the Mideast was Christian, but local Christians helped Arab Muslims invade and subjugate their countries in preference to Christian Byzantine rule, which was oppressive due to doctrinal disagreements over the nature of Christ.  Hence, the Muslim conquerors were actually ‘liberators.’

This perspective, as with many modern Western perspectives concerning Islam, is a product of modern day epistemic distortions, chief among them: 1) repackaged narratives of the ‘noble savage’ myth—yes, 7th century Muslim invaders were coarse, but had elevated ideals, including a fierce love for freedom and religious tolerance in comparison to Christians of the time (not to mention now); and 2) entrenched political correction that seeks to whitewash the true history of Islam followed by the uncritical acceptance of Islamic apologetics, some of which border on the absurd.

Of course, before the Islamic ‘liberator’ thesis had become mainstream, historians such as Alfred Butler, author of The Arab Conquest of Egypt, had this to say about it:

Even in the most recent historians it will be found that the outline of the story [of the 7th century conquest of Egypt] is something as follows:… that the Copts generally hailed them [Muslims] as deliverers and rendered them every assistance; and that Alexandria after a long siege, full of romantic episodes, was captured by storm. Such is the received account. It may seem presumptuous to say that it is untrue from beginning to end, but to me no other conclusion is possible. (emphasis added; pgs. iv-v).

In fact, one of the major themes throughout Butler’s Arab Conquest of Egypt—which, published in 1902, is heavily based on primary sources, Arabic and Coptic, unlike more modern secondary works that promote the Islamic ‘liberator’ thesis—is that ‘there is not a word to show that any section of the Egyptian nation viewed the advent of the Muslims with any other feeling than terror’ (p. 236).

Butler and other politically incorrect historians were and are aware of the savage and atrocity-laden nature of the Islamic conquests.  The Coptic chronicler, John of Nikiu, a contemporary of the Arab conquest of Egypt and possibly an eyewitness, wrote

Finland: Muslim Leaving Mosque Suddenly Attacks Church, ‘The Act Was A Message Of Warning’

I wonder what peaceful message was being taught in the mosque that evening? …

Qur’an Sura 9:29-30, “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book … the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them …”

Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, “… This is the curse [“alah“] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”

Radical cleric Khalid Yasin was invited to speak at the mosque in 2011

Tundra Tabloids – “A man dressed in a Muslim outfit broke the windows of a Roihuvuori church and shouted threats in front of the church on Tuesday evening. The police have taken into custody the ethnic Finnish male suspected of the offense, who took attacked the church on the night of the YLE 2′s Ajankohtaisen Kakkosen Islam evening.

There were a number of eye-witnesses . They said that the man came to the church, from the mosque on the opposite side. The man was dressed in a pale Muslim robe.

– The window to the Church’s main door was smashed with the throwing of very large sized rock. It was at the same time as the program [of the Kakkosen Islam night] was going on. The case is now being handled by the police, says the vicar of the parish Roihuvuori Timo Pekka Kaskinen to Radio Dei .

At the time of the incident, the cantor was practicing with volunteers at the Roihuvuori church,

– I was able to meet up with the Cantor later that night. While this was obviously a very daunting experience, Kaskinen described.

The police were summed to the Church and the broken glass was repaired. The man behaved in a threatening manner to the glass repairman who quickly arrived at the scene. eyewitnesses have recounted that the perpetrator refused to allow the worker to repair the window and said that the act was a message of warning to the church.

– According to him[the repairman] it was a threatening situation, but very quickly over, Kaskinen says.

After leaving the church  the Muslim dressed returned to the mosque, where the police arrested the man. The vicar Timo Pekka Kaskinen does not want to guess the motive.” Read more.

Cultural Psychology: How Islam Managed To Stay Medieval For 1,400 Years

And will remain so until its fiery end at the coming of Christ Jesus in power and great glory …

Matthew 24:29a, 30, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days … the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven … and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory …”

Daniel 7:8b, 11b, 22b, “And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words … I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame … and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

• Recommended: Something Is Seriously Wrong In The Islamic World When We Have To Applaud Muslims For Coming Out Against Beheading

By Nicolai Sennels, Jihad Watch – “While almost all other cultures changed from primitive and medieval to democratic and egalitarian societies, one culture managed to keep even its most brutal and backward traditions and values for 1,400 years until today. Still today, the majority of Muslims prefer to live by values that can be traced all the way back to the desert tribes in which the founder of their religion lived. Getting to know life in Muslim families and societies is like traveling back in time to the time of Muhammad. Here one finds shocking laws and traditions that are obviously criminal and inhumane — but for some reason accepted — in our otherwise humanistic culture.

While non-Muslim scientists invent new fantastic medicines and technologies daily, discover the most amazing things about the universe, its building blocks and inhabitants, and Western voters and politicians have created the most humane, rich and free societies in world history, most Islamic countries are still amputating limbs for theft, stoning women and homosexuals, heavily inbred, denying people free speech and democracy, and contributing absolutely nothing when it comes to science, human rights or peace.

What are the cultural psychological factors making Islam able to stay medieval for 1,400 years?

Religion

One main factor is that while all other religions allow their followers to interpret their holy scriptures, thereby making them relatively adaptable to secular law, human rights and individual needs, Islam categorizes Muslims who do not take the Quran literally as apostates. And according to Islamic law, the sharia, apostasy is to be punished with death. The sharia thus makes it impossible for Islamic societies ever to develop into modern, humanistic civilisations.

The fact that Muslims deviating from the Quranic world view are to be punished has the direct consequence that scientific facts conflicting with the naive and childish world view held in pre-Enlightenment cultures are suppressed. Together with massive inbreeding — 70 percent of Pakistanis, 45 percent of Arabs and at least 30 percent of Turks are from first cousin-marriages (often through many generations) — this has resulted in the embarrassing fact that the Muslim world produces only one tenth of the world average when it comes to scientific research, and are dramatically under-represented among Nobel Prize winners. Fewer books have been translated into Arabic in the last thousand years than the amount of books translated within the country of Spain every year.

Within Islam, faith and tradition is obviously valued far, far more than inventions and discoveries that would ease suffering and lead to a more reasonable understanding of the complexity of the universe and the potential of its inhabitants.

Child rearing

Another powerful defence mechanism within Islamic culture is found within Muslim child rearing. A very real threat of violence and even death is over every Muslim child’s head, should he or she decide to

Looks like Turkey is trying to play a game of chicken …

Revelation 2:13: The region of Turkey is “where Satan’s throne is” and “where Satan dwells”

World Tribune – “Turkey has been challenging Israel’s military throughout the Mediterranean.

Military sources said Turkey has used its Navy and Air Force to disrupt Israeli operations around the Mediterranean. They said the Turkish Air Force and Navy harassed Israeli warplanes during patrols and exercises over the last six months.

‘They are trying to provoke an incident with us that could have strategic repercussions,’ a source said.

The sources said the Turkish military was ordered by Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to disrupt Israeli operation near waters or air space claimed by Ankara, including those around the Republic of Cyprus. They said this has hampered recent exercises in the eastern Mediterranean with Greece, including one that took place earlier this month.

‘The Turks view us as they do the Greeks, which means that the Turkish military flexes its muscles at every opportunity it gets,’ the source said. ‘In the air, Turkish warplanes are playing a game of chicken with our forces.’

The sources said Ankara has been dismayed by Israel’s growing militarycooperation with Greece. They said the Israeli cooperation, which included military exercises, training and arms projects, replaced Turkey with Greece as a leading defense partner of the Jewish state. In November, Israel plans to host three NATO members in the largest international exercise in the country.

‘Erdogan thought that Turkey could isolate Israel militarily, particularly in NATO, when the opposite has taken place,’ another source said. ‘Israel has more military exchanges than ever with individual NATO members while Ankara has been marginalized.'” Read more.
