Am I
just paranoid or is the world in a serious condition? Tell me that I am
just looking at this all wrong--- the world is getting better.
As an Evangelical Orthodox Quaker, I am concerned that the Church in general is silent on what is taking place in the world today. The geopolitical situation in the world is worsening at a speed that is changing the prophetic timeline daily. Christians are being slaughtered at a level reaching genocide. Those murdering Christians are from the Islamic States or what was once called ISIS.
What has me concerned is that our government continues to support the Sunni branch of Islam. For those who do not know the difference here is a quick history lesson. The schism between Sunni and Shia Muslims lies in disputes over who would succeed Muhammad as leader of the faithful after his death in 632. The Shiites thought the prophet’s son-in-law and cousin should lead as caliph, particularly given his blood relationship to Muhammad. Their opponents, the Sunnis, thought Abu Bakr, one of Mohammad’s first converts, should be their leader.
The Shiites lost a series of wars for power in the early years of Islam and today are the clear minority in global Islam, making up about 15 percent of adherents. The Shiites are not the jihadist—that would be the Sunnis. What is confusing is our US Government continues to support the Sunnis. What am I missing?

The new Sunni movement that is taking over large areas in Iraq and Syria, is now known as the Islamic States. The group, previously was known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and also known as ISIS, has renamed itself "Islamic State" and proclaimed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "Caliph" - the head of the state, a leading ISIS spokesperson said,"He is the imam and khalifah (Caliph) for the Muslims everywhere."
By the way, as far as manipulating the Sunni masses, the choice of the supposed leader’s name of these high financed and western trained, rogue forces is Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. This name couldn’t be any more rabble-rousing —remember the first convert of Mohammad- Abu Bakr.
Although the Jews seem to be making the news as to the fearfulness of this groups intentions—it is the Christians that are being massacred to the point of genocide. At the rate they are moving across the Islamic world there will be no Christians left.
Is this what John saw when heard the cries of the souls under the altar? When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also. Rev. 6
Several years ago the thought was that beheading would be carried out by the mystical Antichrist. Well, today the spirit of antichrist is alive and well and spreading across the world in the form of the false religion of Islam--deniers of Jesus Christ. They are making war on Christians all around the world and their choice of death is beheading.
In the Revelation of Jesus Christ as shown to John, he tells us, “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
I believe we can say the Seals have been broken and the Riders released. The White Horse Rider has been conquering. The Red Horse Rider has taken peace from the world. The Black Horse Rider has spread famine. The Pale Horse Rider—Death and Hell are following him with on fourth of the population of the world killed by war, hunger, disease. These things are happening now. It is not in the future-- it is right now! When will we open our eyes?
What is happening in the Middle East will soon reach critical mass. Critical mass can be reached from so many different factors, not just what is happening in America with our economic collapse, the immigration problem at our border, food and energy issues, but now this recent offensive in Iraq and Syria by this army of evil murderers from the very pits of Hell, they have changed the timeline of events from the future to the present and may soon be at our door. We should be moved as Christians to wake-up! But then-- I may just be having a bad dream.
