My Comment: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13) This is better than Assad? They are reshaping the dynamics of the middle east, and thrusting us straight into the pages of prophecy. And Israel is the demon? And again, we find the west silent about persecution of Christians and Jews.
For the first time in many generations, a dhimma (protection agreement) was signed between the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) – an Islamist branch of Al-Qaida – and leaders of Raqqa’s several thousand Christians. Members of ISIS gave the latter three options: accepting the agreement, converting to Islam, or risking death. According to the 12 clauses in the accord, the Christians will commit to pay a twice-yearly poll tax of “four gold dinars” – which at today’s rate, comes to about $500 per person – with the exception that members of the middle class will pay half this amount, and the poor will pay a quarter of it, on condition they do not conceal their true financial situation.

Jesus… Be with them.
Amen!
The West is silent about these events and the other persecutions and martyrdoms of Christians as well, because of the “ten kings”. It is the hope of the ten kings to obliquely allow the Church to be destroyed. In doing so they hope to destroy the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:14) and thus prevent others of the Adamic race from coming back to their Creator, Who has provided the way out of death and darkness and enslavement to sin. They want to prevent others of the Adamic race from escaping from the grip and control of the adversary.
They hope to allow the “whole house” of Israel to be eliminated, both the natural and the “grafted in”, so that they will not be hindered in their plan of subjugating and destroying the Adamic race which is the plan of the “father of lies” whom they serve.
This is why there is silence about the horrible obscenities taking place against the Body of Christ across the earth. However, their plans are not going to be realized. There will be tribulation, but there is a horrifying surprise awaiting the servants of satan.
Body of CHRIST, pray without ceasing. Lift up your hearts to our LORD+. HE+ is coming from our FATHER’S Right hand in flaming fire. Vengeance belongs to HIM+. The LAMB+ has Wrath! Peace to the Called Out ones who follow HIM+ daily. Amen.
Amen Hayden! While I was reading your comment, Revelation came to mind. “They called to the mountains and the rocks, fall on us and hide us from the throne and from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Those who follow Him will be covered. Praying for those lost.
