Crucifixions in the Middle East . . . NOW!

8/21/2012

0 Comments

 
That peaceful Muslim Brotherhood is at it again – this time they are crucifying their opponents in public – including Egyptian Coptic Christians.  The supposed Arab Spring is turning more into a deep winter over the past several weeks.  As the Muslim Brotherhood has gained power and instituted Sharia law – there are some pretty shocking things happening in the wake of this “peaceful” law as it takes root.

Newly elected president Mohammed Morsi’s supporters have taken to crucifying their opponents publically in front of the presidential palace.  Middle Eastern media confirmed that during a recent rampage by Muslim Brotherhood supporters, several were crucified, being hung naked on trees before the home of their new president.  While this was going on numerous others were abused on the ground.  Reports are coming in saying that extra brutality is being reserved for Christians not just because of rage – but as one official put it, “Because it is demanded by the Quran.”

Center for Security Policy Senior Fellow Clare Lopez quoted from chapter and verse in  the Quran to explain these actions.  It was explained that this is not an aberration for Islam – it is demanded.  “Crucifixion is a hadd punishment, stipulated in the Quran, Sura 5:33, and therefore an obligatory part of Shariah,” Lopez said. “It’s been a traditional punishment within Islam since the beginning.  The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood do not consider such activity an option – it is considered obligatory to obey Shariah Law.  And Lopez added that is was for shock value to be sure.

Pamela Gellar, who wrote Atlas Shrugs, who is analyst of Middle Eastern policy and culture warned Christians in Egypt that to flee from what is coming.  She said, ““The Christians are in serious trouble, because the Quran in Sura 9:29 commands Muslims to wage war against them and subjugate them, and they’re also identified with the hated West and the U.S.” 

Geller also turned to Sura 5:33 and said the following, “These are Islamic hardliners who do everything by the Quran. The Quran says, ‘Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.”

This also does not bode well for Israel as President Morsi has abandoned any kind of thought of moderation – and as Egyptian forces continue to be completely ineffective in defensing the regions between Egypt and Israel.  Israel has boosted their defenses in the south to protect against incursions by terrorists and in a show to Egypt that they intend on protecting their borders. 

When all this began we were lulled to sleep by a media and an administration that promised a peaceful Arab Spring that would fundamentally transform the region.  We watched as our government did nothing to keep the Muslim Brotherhood from gaining ascendency in Egypt – indeed they fell over themselves to cover for this radical Muslim group as they took over, not only in Egypt – but also in Libya and now even possibly in Syria.  Either our press and officials were ridiculously ignorant, or worse, complicit with handing over a large portion of the Middle East to a sworn enemy of our ally Israel.  It should be no wonder that relations are strained between Israel and Washington.  We’ve proven that we are not true friends to our long-time ally.  What is truly shocking is the complete lack of comment by the Obama administration at the outrageous conduct of the Brotherhood by crucifying their enemies in this manner.  Considering what we already know about the way Christians will be persecuted in the last days, we may need to buckle down and get ready for what will be coming as our Lord’s return draws near.

    What is the Prophecy/News Update?

    At Calvary Chapel of Jonesboro, we believe that history is moving toward fulfilling God's plans and purposes.  In an effort to help us be prepared for His appearing - and also to chronicle news items you just won't see in the national media - this page is devoted to sharing those items and their possible significance to
    the return of Christ. 

     It is not our desire to cover

     the sensational - or to try to make predictions.  Instead, we will do our best to share relevant news items with biblical commentary as well.  

    May God bless you and help you to be ready to stand before Him without shame at His return.
