 Chapter 7

The Satanic Agenda of Islamism

 

The world is on a collision course with Islam. As I stated in Chapter 7, Islam can probably be considered Satan’s most successful, and dangerous battlefront within his collection of battlefronts. Islam is the world’s second most widely practiced religion. Islam is also one of the fastest growing religions primarily because they are out breeding every other religion on earth.  Today, Islam has approximately 1.7 billion followers.  Radical Islamists are actively doing both Silent and Militant Jihad around the world.

Countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Canada and even the USA are quietly being invaded and taken over by the Silent Jihadist through migration of so called refugees. It is a well known strategy of Islamist to use this tactic to invade a Christian nation and literally out breed the native citizens, including Christians, eventually becoming the majority.

Countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Mauritania, Qatar, Maldives, and Brunei are ruled by governments that follow strict Sharia law.

Indonesia, Nigeria, Malaysia and United Arab Emirates have significant Muslim populations and are influenced by Islamic laws and traditions in Muslim dominate territories.

In India, Ethiopia, Philippines, Thailand, Tanzania, United Kingdom, Kenya, Myanmar, Uganda, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Israel, Singapore and Eritrea only Muslims are held to Sharia Law.

Syria, Nigeria and Sudan are currently experiencing violent overthrow of their countries by Islamist terrorists attempting to either kill or expel all non-Muslims.

 

In Chapter 7, I exposed the eight major counterfeit worldviews or religions that Satan uses to deceive and mislead mankind. In this episode we are going to explore the first of Satan’s counterfeit worldviews. That is the Islamic worldview.

Islamism is a religious and political movement within Islam, based on certain literal interpretations of the Quran. In particular, Islamism seeks to conform as a society to Sharia, the moral and religious system of law that comes from the Quran. Sharia defines a strict moral code for almost every aspect of societal and personal life—everything from trade regulations to personal hygiene—and it interprets the word islam (which means “submission”) quite literally, requiring that every person either submit to Sharia law or die.

First and foremost we must understand the origins of Islam and how it is one of Satan’s most dangerous battlefronts from which he wages war against mankind.  

Islam is a satanically inspired religious system begun in the seventh century by the so called “prophet” named Muhammad. In the seventh century, Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel (but actually Satan or one of his demons) visited him. During these demonic visitations, which continued for about 23 years until Muhammad’s death, the demonic entity purportedly revealed to Muhammad the words of Allah (the Arabic word for “god” used by Muslims). These dictated revelations compose the Qur’an, Islam’s holy book. Islam means “submission,” deriving from a root word that means “peace.” The word Muslim means “one who submits to Allah.”

It is important that we recognize that the Allah god that Muslims worship is NOT the God of the Bible, the Creator of the Universe, but rather Satan himself that spoke either directly or through one of his demonic principalities or powers to Muhammad. Thus we conclude that Muhammad was one of Satan’s star puppets.

As I have already stated and will continue to state throughout this episode, Islam or Islamism is a satanic counterfeit of Christianity.  A counterfeit is a fake or unauthorized replica of a genuine product, such as money, documents, designer items, or other valuable goods. Counterfeiting generally involves creating an imitation of a genuine item that closely resembles the original to deceive others into believing it is authentic.

Satan, known as the father of lies, as previous episodes have revealed, has always been involved in trying to deceive mankind with his lies starting with the scene in Genesis when he tempted Eve . When Jesus was condemned and hung on the cross Satan thought he had at last defeated God. However, his joy was short lived when Jesus rose from the grave on the third day. From that time forward Satan has continued to remain active in his attempts to destroy God’s creation, especially mankind, God’s image bearers here on Earth.  Some 650 years later Satan chose Muhammad as one of his key false prophets to perpetuate his lies to mankind. The Quran is virtually the Satanic Bible, a clever counterfeit of the Christian Bible, the One True Word of God.

Just like the money counterfeiter that strives to create fake bills that look as close to the real money as possible to fool the naïve, Satan inspired Muhammad to record in the Quran, a counterfeit gospel. For example, one of major directives in the Quran is for perfect obedience to the Sharia laws. The God of the Bible knew that mankind would be incapable of obeying His laws and provides grace and forgiveness through the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Satan’s counterfeit Quran provides no path to forgiveness what-so-ever. The Muslim must earn their way to heaven by good works and obedience to the Sharia laws.

Compared to other legal codes, Sharia law also prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation and favors corporal and capital punishments over incarceration. Of all legal systems in the world today, Sharia law is the most intrusive and restrictive, especially against women. Here are some examples of Sharia law:

• Theft is punishable by amputation of the hands (Quran 5:38).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing Muhammad or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death (see Allah moon god).
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death (see Compulsion).
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• Homosexuality is punishable by death but sodomizing boys is fine (see Islam & Sex).
• Girls’ clitoris should be cut. Genital Mutilation. (Muhammad’s words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• Girls can be sodomized until and vaginally raped after 8 years of age (see Islam & Sex).
• A woman or girl who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• Testimonies of 4 male witnesses are required to prove rape of a female (Quran 24:13).
• A woman or girl who alleges rape without producing 4 male witnesses is guilty of adultery.
• A woman or girl found guilty of adultery is punishable by death (see “Islamophobia“).
• A male convicted of rape can have his conviction dismissed by marrying his victim.
• Muslim men have sexual rights to any woman/girl not wearing the Hijab (see Taharrush).
• A woman can have 1 husband, who can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination (see Quran 4:34 and Religion of Peace).
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife; a wife needs her husband’s consent to divorce.
• A divorced wife loses custody of all children over 6 years of age or when they exceed it.
• A woman’s testimony in court, allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a man’s.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits (see Mathematics in Quran).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to eat must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah – i.e., be “Halal.”
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.

A Muslim must follow the Five Pillars to be saved:

1. Profession of Faith (shahada):”There is no god but god, and Muhammad is the Messenger of god.”
2. Prayer (salat): five times a day: at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark.
3. Alms (zakat): donating a fixed portion of income to community members in need.
4. Fasting (sawm): during the daylight hours of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, all healthy adults abstain from food and drink.
5. Pilgrimage (hajj): if health and finances permit, every Muslim must make at least one visit to the holy city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.

The Quran teaches that a person is purified by good deeds (7:6–9), but even those may not save the person – it is up to Allah, who has predestined everyone’s eternal future. (57:22) Even Muhammad had no assurance of his salvation. (31:34; 46:9). A Muslim cannot experience the joy or assurance of salvation. (7:188)

Contrast that to what we are told in John 3:16. 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. Furthermore we are assured in Acts 4:12 that only through Jesus can we be assured entry into heaven. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

God is holy and just and must punish sin. Yet He loves us and has provided forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Jesus died for us on the cross: “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God” (1 Peter 3:18). Jesus was resurrected from the dead: “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25).

The Biblical teaching on the assurance of salvation presents a significant challenge to Islamic beliefs and offers hope to those seeking certainty about their eternal destiny. Unlike the Islamic system, which provides little assurance of paradise, except potentially through martyrdom, the Christian gospel offers confident hope based on God’s grace and Christ’s finished work. Many Muslims may find the concept of assurance through faith alone challenging or even offensive to their understanding of God and righteousness. But this Biblical teaching should inspire gratitude and holy living among believers. The assurance of salvation is not a license for sin but a motivation for joyful obedience and faithful service to God. As we rest in the certainty of our salvation in Christ, we are freed to live lives that reflect God’s love and grace to a world in need of hope and assurance.

Satan takes great joy in watching his Islamic believing puppets go to great lengths in their “obedience” to his unreasonable Sharia law and Five Pillars of Faith rituals, unaware that all their efforts will still eventually lead them to hell.  The Muslim has no concept of God’s free gift of Grace through Jesus.

Many people (even some Christians) think following God’s laws and doing good works will get them into heaven. Muslims, for example, strive to keep the Five Pillars of Faith. If their good deeds outweigh bad deeds, Muslims hope God will accept them. But God says in the Bible that no person can earn their way to heaven by good deeds.

Romans 3:20-23 teaches us that the laws primary purpose is to reveal our sin to ourselves and cause us to recognize that we are incapable of perfectly obeying the law and that salvation can only be attained by faith in Jesus.

“Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.  But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

The more a person tries to obey God’s laws found in the Bible (ultimately fulfilled in perfectly loving God and neighbor—Matthew 22:34-40), the more a person sees he is a sinner. God is a just Judge with a holy wrath against sinners (Romans 2:5). He will punish sinners—regardless of good deeds done or laws kept. (Ecclesiastes 12:14; James 2:10; Revelation 20:11-15) Since sin prevents our entrance to heaven, who can help us?

Jesus and Jesus only, can bear the wrath of God against sinners. He is the one and only sinless perfect sacrifice. A substitute, taking the punishment for a sinner, must be perfect. Otherwise, that substitute must receive God’s punishment for his own sin. The only perfect One who walked on earth is Jesus (1 Peter 2:22-24).

Islam provides no atonement. Rather only perfect obedience to Islamic law can give the Muslim any hope of attaining heaven. And even then, if their god Allah is in a bad mood that day, he may arbitrarily send that person to hell.

My friend Georges Houssney was raised in the predominantly Muslim city of Tripoli, Lebanon. He came to faith in Jesus Christ as a teenager. Well-known for his work supervising the translation and publication of the Bible into clear modern Arabic, Georges has one of the most effective ministries to reach Muslims for Christ in the today’s world. In his book “Engaging Islam”, pages 107-111, he does an excellent job of explaining what it is like to live under Islamic rule. Quoting from this book he says:

By contrast, Muslims see religion as a system, a regime, and a society into which they are born. It is common knowledge that “Islam” means “submission to Allah” (although in the West there is a common misconception that Islam means “peace”). However, this is a superficial and only partially true definition of the word. We cannot find the complete meaning in the English-Arabic dictionary. To understand how Muslims actually define Islam we must look at the feelings, perceptions, and attitudes they associate with the term. We also need to understand the theological concepts that support this meaning.

The word “Islam” does literally denote submission, surrender, or resignation. The word “Muslim” means “one who surrenders or resigns himself.” But to whom does the Muslim’ surrender? On the surface, it might appear that a Muslim surrenders to Allah’s will and most Christian studies of Islam make this assumption. But that is a projection based in our Christian premises about faith: what it means to be a Christian is to be a follower of Jesus, who submits to God through Christ. We cannot bring our Christian assumptions to our engagement with Islam without misunderstanding it.

According to the Muslim mindset, Islam is a surrender to the entire Islamic system. This includes obedience to Islamic law, traditions, social norms, and family wishes-as well as to religious beliefs and practices.  In practice this means that every Muslim living under Islamic rule must resign himself, absolutely and unquestionably, to the customs and authority figures of his community. Islamic law is strict and does not allow for much personal choice: the Muslim must pray five times a day, he must fast during the thirty-day Ramadan fast, a woman must cover her face. Islamic law demands obedience in all aspects of life and does not tolerate personal preferences. Actually, when one submits to the “will of Allah,” he is giving in to the religious leadership’s interpretations of what this means. Surrender in lslam is ultimately to the dictates of Sharia Law’s religio-political system. It would be as if “Christian” were defined not as a follower of Christ, but as a member of the Church, or Christian society. Of course some Christians have and do understand it that way: we have our share of “cultural Christians.”

But there is a crucial difference between cultural Christians and Muslims. Even a cursory examination of the New Testament makes it obvious that cultural Christianity is a contradiction of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, as well as the creeds, confessions, Church fathers, and mainstream denominations. The entire premise of those documents is that Christianity is a voluntary submission of the heart to the transforming work of Christ, and that from that submission behavior follows, as the fruit of faith. But the social definition of religion as obedience to a culture and system is the point of Islam, and the foundation of the Muslim mindset.”

Muslims argue that this marriage between civil and religious life is dictated by God. The Qur’an and the Hadith, they claim, contain rules pertaining to every aspect of life. From these sources religious leaders derive the laws that must govern Islamic nations. But Muslims are not uniform in their understanding of these rules. Most Sharia laws are so vague that they require extensive interpretation. Therefore, each Muslim country appoints a man called the mufti to study and interpret the law for its own people. These rules are so changeable that the mufti and his team of scholars must work constantly to keep up with contemporary issues in order to find applicable references from the Qur’an or the Hadith.

Khurshid Ahmad, a Muslim scholar from Pakistan, expresses this concept. “Departmentalization of life into different water-tight compartments, religious and secular, sacred and profane, spiritual and material, is ruled out…As Allah is One and indivisible, so is life…each aspect of life is inseparable from the other. Religious and secular are not two autonomous categories; they represent two sides of the same coin…Every human activity is given a transcendent dimension; it becomes sacred…Islam is not a religion in the Western understanding of the word…It is a faith and a way of life, a religion and a social order, a doctrine and a code of conduct, a set of values and principles and a social movement.”

 Christians are taught that there are two worlds, spiritual and carnal. When we are born again by the Holy Spirit we become a new creation and acquire a “new man” which enables us to live godly lives. From then on we are in the world but not of the world. Worldly life is contrasted with spiritual life. By walking with God we are able to resist the enemy and live godly, unworldly lives. We put off the old and put on the new. This concept is directly related to our belief in original sin. We are born sinful and we need a savior.

Muslims have no such conflict between the worldly and the spiritual. Jesus’ “kingdom is not of this world,” but Muhammad’s certainly is. Personal choice is necessary to enter Christ’s kingdom, but not the Umma of Islam. You are a Muslim because you were born in a Muslim family. As long as you do not convert to another religion, you remain a Muslim.

The Muslim’s religious worldview is not based on chosen religious beliefs and practices, as a Christian’s should be. His identity as a Muslim is derived from his belonging to a Muslim family, society, culture and political system-and conforming himself to them. As a Muslim he is convinced that he has no choice but to resign himself unquestioningly to Islamic law as it is expressed in the religio-political system under which he lives. 

So virtually from birth, the child of a Muslim is taught the concepts spelled out in the previous paragraph from Georges Houssney’s book. That is “You are a Muslim because you were born in a Muslim family “. Any Muslim that grows up in that culture knows that if they were to leave the Muslim faith that they face disownment by their family and community and even quite possibly death.

That child is not unlike the case of an elephant tied with a small cord around its hind foot. As a very young elephant it had been tied with a strong chain to a tree. Try as it might, it could not free itself from the chain. It soon learned that as long as it feels the restraint of the chain on its foot, it was not free to roam as it wishes, but must remain standing within the confines of the length of the chain. Years later, even though it has grown into an adult elephant, as long as it feels the restraint of a very small rope on its foot, the elephant would remain standing not knowing that the rope that is restraining it could easily be broken with its adult strength.

Simply stated, breaking free of the Satanic Islamic religion is very difficult for a person born into that world. Most Christian missionaries that minister to Muslims will tell you that converting a Muslim is far more difficult than those from any other worldview. I converted from the Roman Catholic cult in my early 20’s. It was really quite simple. At age 18, I simply walked out the door of the Catholic Church and never looked back. At age 25, I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and placed my faith in Him. This is not the case for Muslims. As noted earlier, a Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death. For a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a life threatening undertaking. Usually they must flee for their lives. The truth is, Satan hates it when one of his puppets finds the truth through faith in Jesus. Satan will attack that person with everything within his power including inciting that person’s own family, even parents to kill him or her.

For the past 1400 years, Islam has been one of Satan’s most effective tools to deceive and oppress mankind. Warfare has been integral to Islam since its inception and continues to be to the present day. It was often used for both defense and the spread of the religion.

The Islamic world expanded significantly from the 7th until near the end of the 10^th century, driven by extensive military conquests, trade, and cultural exchanges. This period saw the establishment of powerful caliphates and the spread of Islam across three continents: Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe including Spain.

Most of us have heard of the Crusades. The Middle Ages were a time of great change and turmoil in Europe, with constant battles for power and control. The Crusades were a response to the rise of Islam and the threat it posed to Christian lands namely Rome and the central European continent that was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. By the end of the tenth century Catholicism had spread throughout most of Europe. The Crusades were also fueled by a desire to reclaim holy sites in Jerusalem and other parts of the Holy Land. It is worth noting that while the Crusades may have been motivated by religious zeal, they also had significant political, economic, and cultural impacts. These religious wars, which spanned over two centuries, not only shaped the political and social landscape of Europe but also influenced global cultures and interactions. The Crusades had mixed outcomes. While the First Crusade successfully captured Jerusalem, later Crusades had varied success and eventually failed to maintain Christian control over the Holy Land. One of the main legacies of the Crusades was the lasting tension between the Christian and Islamic worlds.

After the Crusades, Muslim expansion continued through various empires, notably the Ottoman Empire, which grew significantly in the 14th and 15th centuries, conquering parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Additionally, the spread of Islam in regions like Southeast Asia was facilitated by trade and cultural exchanges during this period.

The Ottoman Empire was the one of the largest and longest lasting Empires in history holding power for 623 years from 1299 to 1922. It was an empire inspired and sustained by Islam, and Islamic institutions. It replaced the Byzantine Empire as the major power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Founded in the late 13th century, the Ottomans expanded rapidly, conquering large parts of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. They captured Constantinople in 1453, marking a significant turning point in Islamic expansion. The fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 was primarily due to a combination of military defeats in World War I, internal corruption, economic struggles, and the rise of nationalism among its diverse populations. The empire’s inability to modernize effectively and maintain control over its territories ultimately led to its dissolution and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.

The fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 and the subsequent abolition of the caliphate in 1924 elicited varied responses from the Muslim world, reflecting a mix of political, religious, and cultural sentiments. Many Muslims felt a loss of a historical and spiritual leader, leading to a sense of fragmentation within the Muslim community. The dissolution of the empire and the caliphate contributed to ongoing divisions within the Muslim world, impacting political dynamics and relationships among Muslim-majority countries.

Enter the Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 as a response to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent political and social challenges faced by Muslims, aiming to revive Islamic principles in governance and society. The Muslim Brotherhood was established in Egypt in 1928 in order to restore the lost caliphate in 1924. 

Dissolving the Islamic Caliphate and transforming Turkey from the center of the Islamic world to a non-Muslim secular nation did not sit well with the global Muslim community. In 1928, the son of a Muslim Imam outside of Cairo, Egypt named Hassan al Banna created the Muslim Brotherhood. This organization, known as the Society of Muslim Brothers (the Muslim Brotherhood) was created to unify the Islamic states, revive and expand the Caliphate, and subordinate all lands under the Caliphate to the Sharia law.

The Muslim Brotherhood Movement or simply “Muslim Brotherhood” is now the world’s oldest, largest and the best camouflaged Islamic Jihad movements. It is recognized or designated as a terrorist’s organization by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Russia.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s recent designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations on November 18, 2025, ignited debate within the national security community. As of November 24, 2025 President Trump designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorists.

To non-Muslims, the Muslim Brotherhood portrays itself as the ‘acceptable branch of Islam’ that promotes Muslims’ socio-political integration, religious protection and economic welfare through charity, public relations and other “peaceful” actions.

Muslims, however, know Muslim Brotherhood as a camouflaged Jihadi movement whose ultimate goal is to subjugate the entire world under the Quran’s Sharia law through “Jihad.” The official motto of the Muslim Brotherhood makes this explicitly clear:

“Allah is our objective.

The Prophet is our leader.

The Quran is our law.

Jihad is our way.

Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

What ISIS, Al Qaeda and Salafi Jihadists endeavor to achieve through terrorism, the Muslim Brotherhood endeavors to achieve more cunningly, at least for now, through the deception of Taqiyya* and manipulation of the democratic political and legal institutions of the West, infiltrating and indoctrinating within its universities, prisons, government and military, and recruiting for its openly militant partners around the world.

Taqiyya – (Pronounced Ta-qi-ah)  — Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other… unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper-hand over an enemy.” There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name).  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

What is the origin of the Muslim Brotherhood?

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, an Egyptian school teacher and Imam, and was financed by Adolf Hitler. Its members spied for the Nazis in the Middle East and fought for Hitler as Nazi troops in two specially formed Islamic Waffen-SS Divisions.

The Brotherhood was involved in the assassination of Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmud El Nokrashi in 1948, which led to severe crackdowns by the government.

Through the 1950’s to 2010 the Brotherhood quietly expanded its influence around the world, including in the United States.

In 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood’s long and often violent struggle against the Egyptian government appeared won when its candidate, Mohamed Morsi, won the general election and became the nation’s president. Morsi quickly threw off the cloak of democratic moderation on which he was elected and autocratically set out to lay the foundation for the eventual imposition of Sharia law.

Having overplayed his hand too quickly, Morsi was overthrown and arrested in a popularly-supported military coup in 2013. Once again identified as a terrorist organization and hunted by the new military led government, the Muslim Brotherhood returned underground in Egypt, while dispersing and strengthening its operations across Europe, UK, America and other democracies whose laws are easier to manipulate and whose institutions are easier to penetrate. This was manifest by the mass migrations of Muslims to Europe, UK, Austraila, Canada and the USA from 2012 from Syria and many other Middle Eastern nations.

The growth of Muslim population in the USA.

Muslims in the US today are an incredibly diverse population. Pew Research Center conducted a 2017 survey of Muslims living in the US and estimated that there are about 3.45 million Muslims living in the US, making up approximately 1% of the population. Approximately 76% of US Muslims are immigrants or the children of immigrants, while the remaining quarter are US born with US-born parents, meaning that Muslims are three times more likely to be immigrants compared to the total US population.

Muslim immigrants come from all over the world, with the two largest regions of origin South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa. However, no one country contributes more than 15% of Muslim immigrants to the US, and 42% of all American Muslims are US-born. Additionally, 82% of Muslims in the US are citizens, including both US-born and naturalized immigrants. Finally, US Muslims are racially and ethnically diverse: 41% identify as white, a category that includes those who describe their race as Arab or Middle Eastern, 20% as Black, and 28% as Asian. Of American Muslims who are US born to US-born parents (third-generation), 51% are Black. Furthermore, these statistics do not capture the rich cultural diversity of American Muslims and religious diversity of belief and practice among American Muslims.

In 2000 there were approximately 2.6 million Muslims in the USA. By 2020 this had grown by 2.78X to 4.45 million.

The USA has witnessed the invasion of 10 – 12 million illegal aliens starting in 2021 to Jan. 2025 when Joe Biden opened the boarders to an invasion of illegal aliens. An unknown percentage of these illegal aliens were most likely Muslim Brotherhood members from Muslim countries. The numbers may never be known but it can be quite reasonable to expect those that entered illegally came with nefarious intentions.

Islamic migration has yielded destructive results for Western Europe. Islam’s 1400+ year history of conquest, brutality, persecution and genocide around the world should’ve been reason enough for European governments not to experiment with Islamic migration, but they have. And the consequences are disastrous. Western European nations are on the verge of being overthrown by Islamic invaders.

Given all these facts, our USA government still takes in Islamic migrants, quietly legalizes the illegal aliens, and we don’t have much info regarding the statistics of the changing demographics of our country, the USA is only a few years behind Western Europe.

Is the Muslim Brotherhood a “Movement” or an organization?

While the Muslim Brotherhood bills itself as a “movement” and not an organization, its expansion in Europe, UK, Austraila, Canada, the USA and other undefended countries in the world is directed and coordinated via a three-tiered structure.

General Conference -The highest level, General Conference consists of one to two leaders from each national chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood. It sets the objectives and has the final authority in all matters. The General Conference is and has been led by a “General Leader”.

Shura Council – Below the General Conference is the Shura Council, which translates the objectives set by the General Conference into plans and strategies. The decisions and orders of the Shura Council are binding on all members of the Muslim Brotherhood and can be overridden only by the General Conference.

Executive Office – Below the Shura Council is the Executive Office, which executes the plans and strategies set by the Shura Council by assigning them to the concerned national branches, monitoring their progress, and reporting back to the Shura Council.

What are those plans and strategies?

In 1982, Sa’id Ramadan, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, penned a 100-year plan to subjugate the world under Islam, called, “The Project.” Since then, the plans and strategies of Muslim Brotherhood have largely adhered to the twenty-five points of The Project.

The Project was distributed to Muslim Brotherhood members around the world who were ordered to strictly guard its content from outsiders. They did so until November of 2001 when a copy of it was discovered during a police raid of a senior Muslim Brotherhood financier’s home in Switzerland. Below is the full text of The Project:

“THE PROJECT” OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

1. Network and coordinate actions between like-minded Islamists organizations;
2. Avoid open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of “moderation”;
3. Infiltrate and take over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals;
4.  Use deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with Sharia law;
5. Avoid social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;
6. Conduct surveillance, obtain data, and establish collection and data storage capabilities;
7. Put into place a watchdog system for monitoring Western media to warn Muslims of international plots fomented against us;
8. Cultivate an Islamist intellectual community, including the establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing “academic” studies, to legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist movements;
9. Develop a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology throughout the world;
10. Balance international objectives with local flexibility;
11. Build extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the movement for Muslims in the West is constant;
12. Involve ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations and labor unions;
13. Instrumentally use existing Western institutions until they can be converted and put into service of Islam;
14. Draft Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual implementation;
15. Avoid conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels, including the development of processes for conflict resolution;
16. Institute alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share similar goals;
17. Create autonomous “security forces” to protect Muslims in the West;
18. Inflame violence and keep Muslims living in the West “in a Jihad frame of mind”;
19. Support Jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching, propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support;
20. Make the Palestinian Issue a global wedge cause for Muslims;
21. Adopt the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic domination;
22. Instigate a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against Jews and reject any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with them;
23. Actively create Jihad terror cells within Palestine;
24. Link the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror movement;
25. Collect sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support Jihad around the world.

 After the 2001 discovery of The Project by the Swiss police, the Muslim Brotherhood scrambled and employed Taqiyya to try to dismiss and distance itself from its manifesto, but its actions speak for themselves.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates – Arab nations that are intimately familiar with the Muslim Brotherhood – as well as Russia have designated it a terrorist organization, and the UK and Europe are now following suit.

In America, the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated the highest levels of the government during the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. In many ways, they are still there.

This spread of Islam in Western democracies is led by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups that endeavor to maximize the spread of Sharia law and Islam in the targeted societies while minimizing detection and push-back. This is achieved through the five phases of IRICI: Incubation, Recognition, Infiltration, Confrontation, and Imposition. The Muslim Brotherhood in America has reached phase 3, Infiltration. The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City is a glaring example.

Phase 1: Incubation

When the first Muslims arrive in a Western democracy, they keep a low profile and make few if any demands on the host nation. Many quietly work as shop keepers, students, teachers, professors, doctors and other professionals, making good first impressions and gaining vocational respect.

Phase 2: Recognition

When a sufficient number of Muslims gather, they request recognition of the Sharia law being applied within their own community. To preempt resistance and suspicions, they publicly condemn “radical” Islam and even seek well-publicized inter-faith dialogue and gatherings. They position Islam as a religion of peace whose Sharia law isn’t a threat to the host nation since it would never be applied outside the Muslim community. Often, they are supported by the host nation’s naive leaders who wish to be seen as “progressive” and non-racist.

Phase 3: Infiltration

When Muslims gain critical mass in a few cities, they begin to infiltrate key institutions of the host society. They create an alphabet soup of front and umbrella organizations that inflate their size, and use them to lobby the government, support (pro-)Muslim political candidates, conduct public relations campaigns, file lawsuits against alleged Islamophobia, place imams as ‘chaplains’ in armed forces and prisons, endow Islamic studies departments at universities, and pressure public schools with Muslim students to pray towards Mecca.

Phase 4: Confrontation

Sharia The Only Solution; When Muslims become a significant minority in the host country, they demand incorporating into its legal system elements of the Sharia law. Often, this demand is made while “rogue” elements of the Muslim community threaten or engage in violence (We see this manifest with Muslim refugees in Europe and UK raping many women who don’t wear a Hijab).

Phase 5: Imposition

When the Muslim population becomes the majority and/or Islam gains control of a region, Sharia law is imposed across the region, which is then locked down against non-Islamic influences, including the Gospel. The ideal Islamic state is Saudi Arabia, where Sharia law is the only official law and enforced with barbaric brutality.

Like the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe and UK, the Muslim Brotherhood in America operates front groups among which its leaders, most of them US-educated, rotate to avoid detection, litigation and/or prosecution.

The first Muslim Brotherhood organization in America was the Muslim Students Association (MSA), founded in the early 1960s at the University of Illinois. MSA spread quickly across American college campuses and spawned Muslim professional groups when their leaders graduated and entered professional life. The founders of most Muslim Brotherhood groups in America can be traced back to the MSA.

Other prominent Muslim Brotherhood groups in America include the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whose chapters across America conduct the ground game, including by threatening or bringing lawsuits to towns, companies and individuals; the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), which is an umbrella political group through which the Muslim Brotherhood lobbies and influences American lawmakers and government agencies; the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), which is the funnel through which Saudi oil money is used to build mosques and Islamic schools across America; and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The most notorious Muslim Brotherhood front group in the United States was the Texas-based and deceptively-named Holy Land Foundation (HLF), formerly the largest Muslim charity in America. In late 2008, HLF and its officers were convicted of financing Hamas and sentenced for up to 65 years in prison.

The alphabet soup below is a partial list of the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations and affiliates in America. The major ones are in bold-face. Those on the prosecutor’s list of unindicted co-conspirators of HLF to be prosecuted next are highlighted in red:

Tactics of the Islamist

Earlier I mentioned the five phases of IRICI. Listed below are some detailed methods used to achieve these five phases.

1. Make “Muslims” and “Islam” interchangeable.

Someone critiques Islam? That’s an attack on Grandma Fatima down the street. Someone asks about Muhammad’s actions? That’s basically spitting on your neighbor’s halal chicken.

2. Play the Minority Card

Even when Muslims form majorities in 56 countries, always frame them as a helpless, tiny minority everywhere else. This ensures permanent moral high ground and endless concessions.

3. Exploit Western Guilt

Invoke colonialism, crusades, slavery, whatever works. Make today’s citizens feel personally responsible for what their ancestors did centuries ago. The guilt will paralyze them and make them accept double standards without protest.

4. Inflate “Backlash”

After every terror attack, immediately shift the narrative from the victims of jihad to the supposed danger of “Islamophobic backlash.” Even if the backlash is almost nonexistent, pretend it’s a looming genocide.

5. Control the Vocabulary

Ban terms like “Islamic terrorism and Jihad.” Demand everything be reduced to “terrorism has no religion.” By stripping away specifics, you erase the ideological source of the violence.

6. Manufacture Victimhood Hierarchies

Position Muslims at the top of the victim pyramid. This allows silencing of competing minorities (e.g., Jews, Christians in Muslim countries, Yazidis). Whoever complains about Muslim persecution elsewhere is accused of “whataboutism.”

7. Turn Allies into Enforcers

Recruit Western liberals, academics, and media figures to enforce the taboo. That way, you don’t have to argue, your opponents are silenced by their own peers terrified of losing jobs, friends, or reputation.

8. Hide Behind Interfaith Props

Organize “interfaith dialogues” where Islam is untouchable, but Christianity and Judaism can be trashed freely.

9. Weaponize Lawfare

Push for hate-speech laws that make “Islamophobia” punishable. Once in place, these laws criminalize criticism of Islam itself. That’s how you export blasphemy laws into secular democracies.

10. Use the Double Standard Religiously

Christians criticizing Islam? Islamophobia. Muslims attacking Christians? “Complex socio-political grievances.” Always apply asymmetric rules that tilt the playing field permanently.

 

The Invasion is Underway

As you can see, the Brotherhood’s own bylaws specify a key method for advancing their aims in the West: build “educational, social, economic, and scientific institutions”—that is, mosques, schools, clinics, shelters, and clubs.

Campus to community: the MSA and a nationwide network

In 1963, the Brotherhood helped create the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana. MSA chapters spread nationwide and became recruiting nodes—incubators for leaders and organizations that would later shape much of organized Muslim life in America. Early public messaging emphasized Islam as a mainstream faith; in recent years, campus chapters have often pressed aggressive demands for accommodation while working to marginalize critics.

Through the 1970s, the Brotherhood’s footprint expanded with professional associations—AMSS (social scientists), AMSE (engineers), IMA (medical), MCA (communities)—and youth groups like MAYA and MYNA, embedding influence in multiple sectors.

Funding, property, and influence: NAIT and ISNA

In 1973, the Saudis established the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), which came to hold title or control over a large share of U.S. mosque properties and institutions. With ownership typically came influence: approved imams, curricula, literature, and funding streams.

In 1980, the Brotherhood consolidated many groups under the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), now the largest Muslim Brotherhood umbrella in North America. The 1980s–1990s saw hundreds of new organizations, mosques, and schools built—primarily with Saudi funding—cementing a durable infrastructure.

Breaking the Code

In August 2004, a Maryland officer stopped a vehicle after observing a woman in Islamic dress filming the Chesapeake Bay Bridge supports. The driver, Ismail Elbarasse, was detained on a material-witness warrant in a Hamas case. An FBI search of his Annandale, Virginia home uncovered a hidden sub-basement containing the archival records of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.

Those documents confirmed what counterterrorism investigators had long suspected: a broad network of U.S. organizations aligned with the Brotherhood’s goals—namely, implementing Islamic law in America and supporting the long-term project of restoring a caliphate.

The Holy Land Foundation Trial

Between 2007 and 2008, federal prosecutors tried the Holy Land Foundation (HLF)—then the largest Muslim charity in North America—and several leaders for providing material support to Hamas. The first trial ended in a mistrial; the retrial concluded on November 24, 2008 with guilty verdicts on multiple counts, including conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, funding a specially designated terrorist, and money laundering.

The government showed HLF had channeled roughly $12.4 million to Hamas behind the guise of charity, supporting the goal of eliminating Israel through violent jihad. Sentences included:

Shukri Abu Baker and Ghassan Elashi: 65 years each.

Mohammad El-Mezain: 15 years.

Mufid Abdulqader: 20 years.

Abdulrahman Odeh: 15 years.

HLF (the organization): convicted on multiple conspiracy and material-support counts.

The case also brought uncontested exhibits into the public record that mapped connections among U.S. organizations linked to Hamas and, more broadly, to the Muslim Brotherhood’s U.S. infrastructure. Some associated entities, including NAIT, later challenged their designation or listing in court; aspects of those appeals proceeded under seal.

Bottom line: By the 2000s, U.S. authorities had publicly documented an extensive MB-aligned network in America—rooted in student associations, professional bodies, property trusts, and charities—pursuing long-term social, political, and legal influence consistent with the Brotherhood’s stated mission.

If you have been paying any attention at all this past 8-10 years, we have witnessed the above ten tactics being played out in Western Europe, Canada and the USA. A small percentage of us, mostly conservative Christians, have began to recognize just how extensive the Muslim Brotherhood’s intrusion into the USA is and have been starting to speak out on social media platforms. There is some chatter on FaceBook but most are raising the alarm on X, formally Twitter, since Elon Musk took over. Not a day goes by where another video is posted on X exposing the radical activities of the Muslim Brotherhood and their affiliates.

As I mentioned earlier they have achieved their Phase 3, Infiltration. We have numerous Muslims elected to high level government positions.

Amer Ghalib, Mayor of Hamtramck, MI, leads the only U.S. city with an all-Muslim government. Hamtramck, Michigan, is notable for being the first Muslim-majority city in the United States. In recent years, Hamtramck has made headlines for its political landscape, having elected an all-Muslim city council and a Muslim mayor, Amer Ghalib. This reflects the growing influence and integration of the Muslim community in local governance.

The involvement of Muslim Americans in politics is growing, with more candidates emerging at local, state, and federal levels. For example, Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Somali American, was trying to ride the skirt tails of Ilhan Omar was narrowly defeated this past November. and Abdul El-Sayed, is running for the Democratic nomination in the 2026 United States Senate election in Michigan.

Overview of Representation

There are approximately 189 Muslim Elected Officials across various levels of government.

States with Highest Representation:

New Jersey: 40 officials

Michigan: 39 officials

These individuals represent a growing presence of Muslims in American politics, contributing to the spread of the Muslim Brotherhoods influence in our nation.

Most Americans are totally unaware of the extent that Muslims have Islamized our country. Muslims have built at least 2566 Mosques across the United States.  This chart is old so numbers are probably higher.

As of May 2025, there are a total of 130 mosques in the Houston area. There are a total of 67 mosques Dallas-Fort Worth area. This is Red Texas which is considered one of the Bible Belt states. 

Now let’s have a look at this map of counties in the United States that have Mosques. Virtually every state in the union has at least on county with a Mosque. I was stunned to see that even my native state of Wyoming, conservative Wyoming, has 3 counties with Mosques.

 

 

Islam is the third-largest religion in the United States after Christianity and Judaism. There are a total of 3.45 million Muslims in the United States, according to a 2017 study, comprising about 1.1% of the total US population. (How much this number has grown with Biden’s illegal alien invasion of 2021- 2025 is anybody’s guess.) American Muslims are one of the most racially diverse religious groups in the US with no majority race, split as 25% black, 24% white, 18% Asian, 18% Arab, 7% mixed race, and 5% Hispanic. It is the Middle Eastern Arab portion of the Muslims that tend to be the most radical and aggressive.  

It is unclear when Islam first arrived in the United States. Approximately 10-20% of slaves brought to colonial America arrived as Muslims but were suppressed on plantations. During the 20th century, the United States saw the largest increase in the Muslim population. Between 1991 and 2012, approximately 1.7 million Muslims entered the United States as legal permanent residents. Approximately 72% of American Muslims are immigrants or “second generation.” Virtually none have assimilated into the American culture.

 

America is a land of immigrants. Here we find people from all around the globe. America is committed to religious freedom and has thus opened its doors to adherents of many divergent faiths. It has given sanctuary to nearly every religion in the world and the vast majority of Americans say that they are religious.

Furthermore, our First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. As Christians we have cherished our freedom to worship for 249 years. We have tolerated other religions because we hold sacred our religious freedom. However, in today’s world it seems that our First Amendment is about to come back to bite us.

The Muslim Brotherhood is very much aware or the First Amendment and loves to hide behind it presenting themselves as a “religion”. However, hidden within this quote “religion” is a much more sinister agenda. They are using our tolerant First Amendment religious freedom to further their plans to invade, conquer and overthrow the USA and forcefully convert the entire nation to Islam. No different than they have done for the past 1400+ years throughout the Middle East. Make no mistake; Islamism is NOT a religion of peace.

In many area of the nation they have embarked on Phase 4 – Confrontation. This map shows known Islamic Terrorist strongholds scattered across the nation.

Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood are deeply entrenched in strongholds across our nation. They are starting to get Muslims elected to major government offices. They have invaded our public schools and universities with their ideologies. The long and short of this message is that we have been invaded and our enemy is living among us. Sleeper cells exist in virtually every major city throughout the United States.

And most discouraging of all, Leftist Socialist and major percentages of the Democratic Party have enjoined with them to oppose conservative common sense. Recently we are beginning to hear of this referred to as the “Red-Green-Blue Alliance”, a joining of forces with the goal of defeating the Conservative Right or MAGA movement lead by Donald Trump.

The Muslim Brotherhood is more than willing to temporarily join forces with Leftist Socialist and Democrats in their efforts to overthrow the Conservative Right. Once in power, the Islamist will turn on the Leftist Socialist and Democrats and force them into submission too. The “Red-Green-Blue Alliance” is pooling resources, especially finances hoping to recapture majorities in either the House or Senate or both in 2026. They also have their eyes on the 2028 presidential election hoping to elect a progressive socialist or Muslim in 2028.

We are just one election away from the possibility of a total overthrow of our Constitutional Republic Government that we have enjoyed for the past 249 years. I believe that God ordained the election of Donald Trump to provide our nation with one last chance to get our act together and turn our hearts to Him. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe Donald Trump is by any means a Godly example of clean Christian living. Throughout the Scriptures we see examples of God using unbelievers to steer His people back to him. We quite possibly only have a short 3 years while Trump remains in office to act.

If the Leftist regain the White House, House and/or the Senate in 2028 I believe we will see a virtual Tsunami of evil invade our nation driven by the “Red-Green-Blue Alliance”. I have long held that elections and how the people vote is one of God’s tests of our loyalty to Him. Voting in favor of the “Red-Green-Blue Alliance” is akin to the Israelites ignoring God’s prophets and continuing to worship Baal as we observe in the Old Testament.  

So as of December, 2025, What is the Status of the Muslim Brotherhood?

In a recent interview on Frank Gaffney’s Securing America broadcast I think Dr. David Wurmser summarized it well. Here is a transcription of what he had to say.

The issue the West has to deal with is despite the defeat of Iran, the center of gravity, of threat to the United States has moved ultimately from Tehran, which is still there and has to be finished. Don’t get me wrong. This is an unfinished business that if not finished, they’ll be back, the regime itself.

And because it will always pursue nuclear weapons, eventually it’ll get it if it doesn’t get cut down. So ultimately the regime has to go. But even when that happens, what we have now is something the West really doesn’t understand, which is a civilizational fervor that is emerging in the Middle East.

The Sunni Arabs, the Iranians or Shiites, the Sunni Arabs feel that with–and this is really driven from Qatar and Turkey, and (President of Turkey) Erdogan, his sense of destiny and ambition of relitigating the end of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the caliphate. And of course, Al-Qaeda, ISIS are all motivated by this idea of reestablishing the Arab caliphate, which is the religious totalitarian leadership structure governing the attack on the entire world to take over the entire world.

So there really is a sense that, that question can be reopened. The caliphate reestablished. Turkey’s empire rehabilitated. And the collapse of the Syrian regime, although it was entirely the result of Israel’s power, is being leveraged by Erdoğan, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Qatar–and by the way, that’s repetitive. Once you say Qatar and Turkey, you’re saying the Muslim Brotherhood.

It’s being leveraged to create a narrative of civilizational fervor, a civilizational offensive, that they’re winning, that Allah has graced them because Allah has replaced the Sunni Arabs for the first time in a thousand years in charge of Damascus, which is where the original Islamic caliphate really anchored itself under the Umayyads.

And so you see this aggressive rhetoric toward Greece, toward Israel, toward even Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, everywhere, from Erdoğan, from Qatar, all driven by Muslim Brotherhood ideology.

What you’re seeing is the civilizational confidence emanating from Damascus and this regime. The regime’s taking over and it’s resonating with Erdogan’s statements. Statements coming out of clerics in Al Jazeera and so forth surrounding the Qataris are really resonating heavily with what they see happening in Europe, which is the inability of the West to rally to defend itself.

The collapse of Western civilization is proceeding according to their theory that it is a corrupted, rotten oak tree that is eaten out by termites and that Islam can just blow it over quite easily even though it’s impressive the way it looks. But it’s hollow. And so what’s happening in Europe in addition to this taking over Damascus and Erdogan and basically trying to get American and European political discourse distorted by their money and their infiltration, they believe that they have now Allah behind them.

They are in the final battle and that now is no longer the time to tolerate. Now is the time to destroy and spread Islam globally once and for all finally. If you go to the mosques in Texas, in Pennsylvania, anywhere, that’s what you’re going to be hearing.

Dr. Wurmser went on to explain that the Muslim Brotherhood and all its affiliates believe that they have Allah’s blessing and support to pursue a worldwide jihad with the ultimate goal of conquering the entire world and placing it under a worldwide Caliphate.

The entire Islamic world and specifically the Muslim Brotherhood have a target drawn on the back of the United States of America with the goal of taking us down. But also, let’s not forget the globalists. They’re in this mix, too. They’ve got a digital ID agenda as a subject for another day, but they’re all about taking down Western civilization, starting with our country. Why? Because we are the impediment to realizing their satanically motivated ambitions of world control.

Make no mistake, as we have discussed throughout this “Exposing the Principalities and Powers, and their Puppets” series, what we are witnessing is Satan’s twisted goal of usurping God’s sovereign rule of His creation. And as I stated at the beginning of this episode, Islam is one of Satan’s primary tools that he uses to try to achieve his goals. 

 

 

What then should we, the Christian believers, do?

 

When threaten by those that intend you harm it is human nature to wish harm and harbor hatred towards them. But we must remember that each every human resident of this spinning globe are God’s creation and He loves them all. So much so that He sent Jesus to die for all of our sins.

In Matthew 22:37 Jesus was asked by a Pharisee Lawyer,

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

The Lawyer then asks “Who is my neighbor and Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. From this parable we must conclude that all of mankind is our neighbor.

Earlier in Matthew 5: 43-48, Jesus instructs:

 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

For a Christian, the best way to defeat an enemy is to turn that enemy into a brother or sister in Christ. Romans 2:4 says that God’s kindness is intended to lead people to repentance. It stands to follow that our kindness to an enemy might also help bring that person to repentance. Treating our enemies with unexpected benevolence and generosity will have a disarming and discomforting effect, with the potential of leading them to remorse, repentance, and salvation in Jesus Christ. When we come in contact with a Muslim our first and foremost efforts should be to lead them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

While it is tempting to hate our enemies we need to recognize that they are fellow humans created in God’s image just like us. More importantly we must recognize that they have been deceived by Satan into following his lies like the Islamic teachings. Brainwashed from birth they cling to the only truth that they know. Be it a false truth, they hold onto what they believe under threat of death if they should abandon their faith in the false god Allah, hapless victims of the Author of Lies, Satan himself.

Reports indicate a significant number of Muslims converting to Christianity, particularly in recent years. Estimates suggest that between 2 and 7 million Muslims have converted globally over the past two decades. This trend is often described as a major movement within Christianity.

Several factors contribute to this trend:

• Personal Encounters: Many converts report dreams or visions of Jesus that lead them to explore Christianity.
• Disillusionment: Some individuals become disenchanted with Islamic extremism and seek a faith that emphasizes peace and love. The shear brutality of the September 10, 2023 attacks by Hamas militants on Israel apparently has cause many mediocre Muslims to question the teaching of Islam.
• Access to Christian Literature: Increased availability of Bibles and Christian resources has facilitated conversions.
• Community Influence: The actions and kindness of Christian communities often inspire Muslims to consider conversion.

As Christians we need to be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit when we encounter Muslims. The Holy Spirit may have been preparing the persons heart for months prior and our kindness and compassion may be what is need to cause the individual to decide to reject Islam and seek to know Jesus. At the very least we will have watered the sprouting seed that the Holy Spirit is nurturing.

At the same time we must not be naive. The majority of Muslims we encounter will have highly hardened hearts toward non-Muslims, especially Christians. Driven by satanically inspired fervor or jihad one must assume that they have nefarious intentions.

 

 

First off let’s ask and answer the question: What are the dangers of the USA being overthrown by the Muslim Brotherhood?

 

The dangers of the USA being overthrown or significantly influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood are profound and multifaceted. The Muslim Brotherhood is not merely a religious group but a political conquest ideology aiming to impose Sharia law and Islamic governance upon the entire Western World of Europe, Canada and the USA. This is fundamentally incompatible with the principles of the United States Constitution, with its Judeo-Christian roots, especially the free exercise of religion and the separation of church and state spelled out in our First Amendment.

One major danger is that the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda involves a “grand jihad” to eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within. This means undermining the foundational values of freedom, democracy, and individual rights that America was built upon. If the Muslim Brotherhood gains political power, they would seek to impose Sharia law, which would abolish many freedoms Americans currently enjoy, including religious freedom, and would lead to persecution of those who do not submit to Islamic law.

Historically, when Islam has gained political control in various countries, it has led to the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities, often in brutal ways such as crucifixion, burning, and imprisonment. This pattern is likely to repeat if the Muslim Brotherhood or similar Islamic political forces gain control in the United States. Moreover, the Muslim Brotherhood does not believe in the concept of separate sovereigns or the separation of church and state, which is a cornerstone of American governance. Their goal is to merge religion and state into a theocracy, which would be a radical departure from the American constitutional framework.

There is also a concern that the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise would align with other radical ideologies, such as Marxist socialists and the Democratic Party, creating a “red-green-blue alliance” that is hostile to American values and sovereignty. This alliance could further destabilize the nation and erode its freedoms. In summary, the dangers include:

• The destruction of the constitutional freedoms, especially religious freedom.

• The imposition of Sharia law and theocracy.

• Persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims.

• The undermining of American sovereignty and democratic institutions.

• The alliance with other radical ideologies hostile to America.

This is why it is critical for Americans, and especially Christians, to be informed and vigilant about the ideological and political agendas at work and to participate in the political process to safeguard the nation’s foundational principles.

 

 

Secondly, if we ask and answer these questions: Considering Islam’s satanic origins how should we react to the Muslim Brotherhood’s inroads into our American culture? How do we fight back?

As a Christian, understanding the nature and agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood is essential in forming a Biblically grounded response. As I stated earlier, the Muslim Brotherhood is not merely a religious group but a satanically inspired political and ideological movement with the goal of advancing Islam and ultimately imposing Sharia law and Islamic governance, across the world, even within the United States. Their strategy includes infiltrating Western societies, including through interfaith dialogue, which they use, not to find common ground, but to move and or convert Christians toward Islam. Given that Islam, as taught by the Muslim Brotherhood and consistent with Islam, is fundamentally opposed to Biblical Christianity and is rooted in a satanic counterfeit of the gospel, our response must be both spiritually discerning and practically wise. Here are some key ways Christians should respond and fight back:

1. Discernment and Biblical Truth: We must know what the Bible teaches and not be swayed by political correctness or false notions of tolerance that compromise Biblical truth. The Bible calls us to stand firm in the faith and to be aware of the schemes of the devil (2 Corinthians 2:11).
2. Avoid Compromising Platforms: Do not give the Muslim Brotherhood or Islamic representatives platforms within Christian contexts to spread their ideology. This includes not allowing them to distribute literature disguised as Christian materials or to speak in churches without clear gospel proclamation.
3. Evangelism and Prayer: Recognize that Muslims are also souls for whom Christ died. Our response should be to pray fervently for their salvation and to evangelize boldly, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with love and truth.
4. Political and Cultural Engagement: Christians should be active in civic duties, such as voting and advocating for policies that protect religious freedom and uphold Judeo-Christian values. Understanding the political nature of Islam’s agenda helps us to be vigilant and proactive.
5. Spiritual Warfare Posture: We are in a spiritual battle. We are called to put on the full armor of God, resist the devil, and stand firm (Ephesians 6:11-13; James 4:7). This means living holy lives, standing for truth, and not being intimidated by the cultural shifts around us.
6. Educate and Equip the Church: The church must be equipped to understand the reality of the ideological and spiritual battle we face. This includes teaching sound doctrine and preparing believers to stand firm in a hostile world. In summary, fighting back against the Muslim Brotherhood’s inroads is not about hatred or fear but about standing firm in the gospel, exercising wisdom and discernment, engaging in prayer and evangelism, and being active in the cultural and political spheres to uphold Biblical values. Relevant Bible verses include: Romans 13:3-4: “For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.” • Ephesians 6:11-13: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” • 2 Corinthians 2:11: “So that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”

It is these goals that have driven me to spend literally hundreds of hours researching and putting together this presentation. It is my prayer that my efforts will awaken layman, pastors and government leaders alike to recognize and be inspired to join with me to battle Satan on this major battlefront. Remember, “We don’t battle against flesh and blood but against Principalities and Powers”.–Ephesians 6:12

 

Would a Christian be called to take up arms should the Muslim Brotherhood attempt an overthrow of our existing USA Government?

This is a deeply complex and sensitive question. The Bible teaches Christians to respect and submit to governing authorities because they are established by God (Romans 13:1-4). However, this submission is not absolute if the government commands something that contradicts God’s law. In such cases, Christians may have to say “no” to the government, but they must be prepared to face the consequences of that disobedience.

Regarding taking up arms, Jesus did tell His disciples to buy swords if they did not have one (Luke 22:36), which indicates a recognition of the need for reasonable self-defense. The sword here is not a tool for aggression or rebellion but for protection. Jesus also said, “all who take up the sword will perish by the sword” (Matthew 26:52), which cautions against violent rebellion or vengeance.

The government is ordained by God to bear the sword to punish evil and maintain order (Romans 13:3-4). Therefore, Christians should support just government actions to restrain evil, including defense against external threats. However, Christians are not called to privately initiate violent vigilantism or to impose Christianity by force.

If the Muslim Brotherhood or any Islamic group attempted an unlawful overthrow of the government, Christians would need to carefully consider their response. While self-defense and protection of innocent life are Biblical principles, the emphasis should be on prayer, standing firm in faith, and using lawful means to uphold justice and righteousness.

Civil disobedience may be appropriate if the government becomes tyrannical (Islamized) and commands what is contrary to God’s law, but violent rebellion is not the first Biblical option.

In summary, a Christian may be called to defend themselves and their families, and to support just government actions to maintain order, but the Bible does not endorse individually taking up arms as a first response to political upheaval or to forcibly overthrow a government. The Christian’s ultimate hope is in God’s sovereignty and the coming Kingdom of Christ. Relevant Bible verses include:

• Luke 22:36: “He said to them, But now, the one who has a moneybag is to take it, and likewise a knapsack; and the one who has no sword is to sell his cloak and buy one.”

• Romans 13:3-4: “For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.”

• Matthew 26:52: “Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.”

 

Could it be that we as a nation are facing God’s judgment because of our disobedience both from a national and individual point of view?            

Throughout the history of Israel in the Old Testament we see God’s hand of judgment brought upon the Jewish people for their disobedience. If we as a nation ask and answer the question, “Are we deserving of God’s judgment?”, I believe that the answer is a resounding yes!

The murders of well over 60 million unborn since the Roe vs Wade decision of the Supreme Court in 1975 has incited God’s anger. Even with that decision being overturned in June of 2022 and the individual states being given back the right to make the decision to allow or outlaw abortion that has not stopped the carnage of abortion.

With the authority to outlaw abortion handed back to the states, the majority of the states, either through legislation or vote of the people, have choose to keep abortion legal and in many cases even expanded it to include abortion up an to the moment of birth. We are no better than the Israelites when they sacrificed their children to Baal.

The Obergefell v. Hodges ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 26, 2015 allowing so called “Same Sex Marriage” flies in the face of God’s laws and principals. Since the Obergefell v. Hodges decision in June 2015, nearly 600,000 same-sex couples have married in the United States. As of 2025, there are an estimated 823,000 married same-sex couples in total.

Our culture’s acceptance of the entire LGBT+ agenda is also an abomination before God. Furthermore, former president Biden’s support of Trans-sexual mutilation of our youth and participation of males in female sports has got to incite God’s wrath.

The above, along with the overall moral decline of our population for the last 50-60 years demonstrates our rejection of Biblical morality.

I have long believed that the “Sins of a Nation” can call down God’s judgment upon that nation. The question that we must ask ourselves is, are we as a nation, the United States of America, facing God’s judgment? I fear so. I have often quipped that if God doesn’t judge the USA, or the whole world for that matter, soon, He may owe Sodom and Gomorra an apology. I say that very tongue-in-cheek because I fully acknowledge God is Sovereign, He doesn’t make mistakes and His judgments are wholly righteous and just.   

God sent prophets to the Israelites time and time again warning them to repent and turn back to God’s ways. Most of the times they choose to ignore God’s warning and when they did, eventually they would be invaded by neighboring nations.

In 1 Samuel 4:1-11 we read of the defeat at Ebenezer. The Israelites brought the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh, believing it would ensure God’s presence and favor. This defeat was in direct disobedience to God’s instructions on the handling of the Ark of the Covenant. As a result Israel was defeated, losing thirty thousand foot soldiers and the Ark of God was captured, by the Philistines.

In 2 Kings 17 we read the account of the Fall of Samaria. 2 Kings 17:7-8 states, “All this happened because the Israelites had sinned against the LORD their God”. They had worshiped other gods and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel.

Throughout the Old Testament, Israel’s victories and defeats are often directly linked to their faithfulness or lack thereof to God’s commandments. The narrative consistently emphasizes that reliance on God and adherence to His laws are paramount for the nation’s success and survival. I truly believe that the same principal applies to all the nations on Earth to this day.

Earlier I discussed the idea of taking up arms against the Muslim Brotherhood. From what we just read in 1 Samuel 4:1-11 and 2 Kings 17:7-8 I believe that it would be pointless to take up arms if we are under God’s judgment and He has lifted His hand of protection from us.

I truly believe that since its founding, the USA has enjoyed God’s hand of protection. However, in September 11, 2001 commonly referred to as 9/11, I believe we saw the first signs of God removing his hand of protection over our nation. Post 9/11 there was a very brief surge in church attendance but within a year that had dissipated and the American populous soon turned back to our decent into debauchery. The rapid turning away of the American populous from God’s teachings found in the Bible for the past 24 years only testifies of our disobedience of God’s ways. 

If the USA finds itself being taken over by Muslims at some future date I truly believe it will be because we also choose to ignore God’s warnings. Can the USA be saved? Will enough of us repent and turn from our sinful ways to avoid God’s judgment? My honest answer to both of these questions is, I doubt it.

But God….Why?

I honestly have to admit that over the weeks I have spent researching and writing this episode I found myself getting depressed at the thought of the nation I grew up in and have loved all these years being overthrown by an evil satanic Islamic regime. I have really struggled for several weeks with how to conclude the episode. While I am well aware that God, the true God of the Bible, is ultimately sovereign and I have faith that He will come to claim his people, I couldn’t help but have consternation about the days to come. I fear for my children and grand-children, siblings and their children, many of which do not have a saving knowledge of Christ.

Then a couple weeks ago our pastor started a short series out of the book of Habakkuk titled “Living by Faith”.

Just as I had been for the previous several weeks, as we opened the book of Habakkuk, I saw the prophet Habakkuk struggling with some of the types of questions I had been regarding our national and personal sin and if that sin had resulted in God lifting His hand of protection from us. Let’s look at the first four verses of Chapter 1 as the prophet asks:

1 The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.

2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” and You will not save.

3 Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises.

4 Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds. Habakkuk 1:1-4

These words nearly jumped off the page as I read them. Almost a perfect description of the weariness I was feeling in my heart over the degradation our culture has gone through this past 20 to 30 years.  I am sure that if you have stuck with me to this point you very well may be asking some of the same questions.

The pastor opened his sermon and I quote,

“What makes the book of Habakkuk UNIQUE — is that it’s not a message FROM a prophet TO the people — but instead: it’s a CONVERSATION (between one man and God). Habakkuk asks God the exact questions that MANY of US are asking TODAY!

He’s asking God: “WHY?!” “Why are you allowing bad things to happen?!” And: “When are you going to DO something about it?!”

And the surprising part — is that God actually ANSWERS Habakkuk’s questions!”

Un-quote.

 

This was the Lord’s Reply:

5 “Look among the nations and watch— Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.

6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

7 They are terrible and dreadful; Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves.

8 Their chargers charge ahead; Their cavalry comes from afar; They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.

9 “They all come for violence; Their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand.

10 They scoff at kings, and princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, for they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

11 Then his mind changes, and he transgresses; He commits offense, ascribing this power to his god.” Habakkuk 1:5-11

In verse 5 God makes an encouraging promise. “For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.”

Now this probably excited Habakkuk. God is going to do something amazing!

Then in verses 6-11 God proceeds to tell Habakkuk that He is going to send the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem and carry you all off into exile!”

Now as a bit of a side note: Don’t the Chaldeans with all their brutality sound a lot like the modern day Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist that threaten to overthrow our nation? Not exactly what Habakkuk or the modern day church wants to hear. The solution sounds worse than the problem.

Just as we recognize our national and personal sins, and that we deserve God’s judgment, Habakkuk understood that the people of Jerusalem deserved to be judged! That was precisely why Habakkuk had called out to God in the first place! Just as many of us have often prayed for revival in our nation as we grieve the degradation we are witnessing within our borders, Habakkuk was crying out to God to send a revival among his people.

God’s answer left Habakkuk more confused. Likewise, many of us in today’s church may question why God would allow the overthrow of the USA. After all, hasn’t our nation sent missionaries to all corners of the world? For the most part humankind has a prideful over inflated view of our “GOODNESS”. Barna research polls reveal that well over 80% of us believe that man is basically “GOOD.

But God tells us in the scripture that “All have sinned and fell short of the Glory of God”. And as I noted in the previous section with Abortion, LGBTism, adultery and fornication, and the overall corruption that is in our culture our sin is blatant. We want God to send revival to our land and turn the people back to Him.

In verse 12 Habakkuk says “Are You not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.”

Do you know what Habakkuk’s doing here? He’s preaching the truth to himself. In the midst of his confusion, Habakkuk is REMINDING himself of what he knows about WHO God is, and WHAT God has promised to do! And he’s going to hold these things in tension with the questions that he’s struggling to understand!

The first thing Habakkuk says is: “Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God?”

That phrase “From everlasting” — it’s a phrase that’s used to describe God throughout the OT. The idea is that: It is God who created us! (We didn’t create God, He created us!) — and therefore: it’s important to remember this: That if God created us, then WE exist FOR HIM!

It’s oh so easy for us to fall into the trap of thinking that God exists for us! (like a genie in a bottle, whose purpose is to give us what we want, and make all our dreams come true!) This is the error of the Prosperity Gospel teachers such as Joel Olsteen and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.

That’s what it says in Colossians 1:16 Speaking about Jesus – it says: “all things were created through Him and for Him.” (including each of us!) — we were created for God’s glory, and for His purposes!

Habakkuk is anchoring himself in the truth of WHO GOD IS, and who he is in relationship to God.

He says — “God you are eternal! You have the right to DO with us HOWEVER you see fit!”

Habakkuk then says: BUT, God you are also HOLY!!! (Habakkuk 1:12) Habakkuk is trying to comfort himself in reminding himself that because God is Holy, He will only do what it right. He will never do anything that is wrong or evil.

Then in verse 12 Habakkuk says “We will not die”. What does that mean? How does he know that? Surely if Babylon attacks Jerusalem then some people are going to die. What Habakkuk recognizes is that the Jewish people as a nation are going to survive. How does he know that? Because God had promised that in His word. Eighty years before Habakkuk lived in 2 Kings 21:12-14, a prophecy was given that God would judge Jerusalem and a remnant would be preserved.

What Habakkuk struggles with is why God would use the Babylonians to judge Jerusalem because the Babylonians were far more wicked than the wicked rulers of Jerusalem.

Likewise, if we see the Islamic Muslim Brotherhood take over the United States we will without a doubt see many Christians killed. Killed physically but as believers we know that while Satan may be able to destroy our physical body, he cannot kill us spiritually. As believers, we have the promise that at the moment we leave this body we will be present with the Lord in heaven.

In verse 13 Habakkuk continues to question WHY?

You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal treacherously, And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours A person more righteous than he?

For us in the United States — this would be like God saying: “Yes, I see the evils and the wickedness in the United States… so I’m going to send the Muslim Brotherhood to invade and conquer the United States!”

You would say, “Well — that doesn’t make any sense! Because THEIR wickedness is so much worse than OUR wickedness!”

And yet: Habakkuk is holding these two things in tension:

1) What he knows to be true about God — and

2) What he’s seeing in the world.

In this moment, Habakkuk is reminding Himself of WHO God IS! And He’s reminding Himself of what God has said!

Because: In confusing times, faith rests in God’s character…

Did you know that the name “Habakkuk” means: “He who clings”!?

That’s what Habakkuk is doing! — He’s bringing his frustrations and his confusion to the Lord in prayer. And He’s clinging to God in the midst of His confusion!

So that is what we must do in our present day world. We must cling to God’s promises, to what you know to be true about God, even when there are things in life that don’t make sense to you YET!

We can think about it like this: Faith is trusting what you see in the God’s Word, until you see it in the world. That’s what Habakkuk is doing. He can’t yet see how God’s plan will make sense — but he’s holding on to what he knows about God’s character.

There are really TWO kinds of FAITH that we exercise as followers of Jesus:

1. Faith in what God has done in the past. (We believe that God created the World, and that Jesus lived, and died, and rose again). We believe these things on the testimony of others and evidence we can see.
2. Then there’s the other kind of faith, not on the things from the past but rather the things that God has promised to do in the future. We believe that God will do everything that He said He will do. Not because we’ve seen it yet, but because He has always been faithful in the past to do what He said He would do. To keep His Word.

We live in a very privileged place in history because we have the privilege, the opportunity to look back on all of history and read the Bible and we can see all the ways that God fulfilled so many of His promises. Perhaps most significantly, we can see the promises that God made about Jesus. The promise is to send the Messiah to save us by doing for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves. And because of God’s past faithfulness, therefore we can be sure of God’s future faithfulness as well.

The Bible tells us that one day Jesus is going to return. And when He does, He is going to make right everything that’s wrong with this world. There will be no more sin and no more sorrow, no more death, no more pain, not more tears. Everything that’s wrong in this world will be made right. And we will live in His presence forever.

As you have followed along in this session we have revealed some grim frightening prospects for the future of our nation. You may be experiencing fear and trepidation because of what I have revealed about the Muslim Brotherhood and possibility or virtually likelihood that we may see our nation overthrown by them. But faith means trusting in what we see in God’s Word, until we see it in the world. The way we live that out is by doing what Habakkuk did. By reminding ourselves who God is, by remembering His faithfulness in the past and His promises for the future.  

 

What Hope Does the Christian Have?

I am one that who holds to a premillennial or dispensational interpretation of the end times believing there will be a seven year tribulation period before the second coming. I believe that God will Rapture the church before the tribulation starts.

Whether you hold a Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib or Post Trib view one thing is clear. Almost all Christians agree on these three things:

• There is coming a time of seven years of great tribulation such as the world has never seen,
• after the Tribulation, Christ will return to establish His kingdom on earth, and,
• there will be a Rapture—a translation from mortality to immortality—for believers

As one studies In Time Prophecy and Revelation it is easy to see that much of what happens during the Tribulation, appears to be a much worse version of what people living in Islamic countries experience in today’s world. Revelation describes a totalitarian one world government that is a combination of worldviews from Islamic, Socialism/Marxist and Secularist/Post Modernism.  

I believe that what has held back the takeover of the world, by the fore mentioned groups, up to this point is what is often referred to as the “Restrainer”. I believe the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit manifest through devout believers in the Christian church. One of the reasons I hold a Pre-Trib Rapture view is because it is only after God removes His devout true followers that the Antichrist will be able to reveal himself and the Tribulation to begin.

Furthermore, as I study prophecy and eschatology, I have come to believe that Rapture is imminent. Once the Rapture occurs and the Restrainer, the church, is removed it opens the floodgates for Satan and the Antichrist to move utilizing all their puppets from all the satanic counterfeit worldviews I revealed in Session 6.

If I am wrong about the timing of the Rapture and it doesn’t occur until mid or post Tribulation, then Habakkuk holds even more relevance. Should we find ourselves living under the persecution of brutal Islamic extremists, all the more we will need the hope Habakkuk had, that is God is ultimately in control. The book of Habakkuk ends with this pray hymn:

16 Though the fig tree may not blossom,

17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls.

18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.    

 

This is the promise for the believer. If you have not recognized and accepted Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World, the one true way, you need to repent and accept the gift of Salvation freely offered to every man, woman and child that walks this Earth. He is standing by waiting for you to invite Him into your heart and life.

Again, though, it is crucially important that you do not base your salvation on having said a prayer. Reciting a prayer cannot save you! If you want to receive the salvation that is available through Jesus, place your faith in Him. Fully trust His death as the sufficient sacrifice for your sins. Completely rely on Him alone as your Savior. That is the biblical method of salvation. If you have received Jesus as your Savior, by all means, say a prayer to God. Tell God how thankful you are for Jesus. Offer praise to God for His love and sacrifice. Thank Jesus for dying for your sins and providing salvation for you. That is the biblical connection between salvation and prayer.

If you have received Jesus as your Savior because of what you have read here today, please get in contact with a solid Bible believing church, start attending and reach out to the church’s leadership to help you start on your road to being made into the image of Jesus. It’s a life long journey, one you need to start today.

If you will just believe and ask, He will welcome you into His arms with a love you have never known. And the worries of hell will be a distant memory.
