The Koran Burning
April 04, 2011
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME (Exodus 20:2-3).” This was the first of the Ten Commandments of God given to Moses for His people. In prophecy, Moses represents Jesus and God’s people then become His church.
Prior to this, Moses had told the people to be ready for the third day, which, in prophecy, is the third millennium A.D. With the thunderings, lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain, Sinai became completely covered in smoke. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. One could say the mountain was suffering the effects of a great earthquake at the time of burning. This is surely symbolic of the time of fire judgment, when little men, like grasshoppers, try to do away with the Law of God.
Now, Sharia law is no substitute for God’s Law and God will tolerate nothing in a land under His rule that would support other gods in His place, as His first commandment clearly states. To do so would be enough to cause earthquakes and fire. This brings us to the book called the Koran, which, though called holy, has nothing whatsoever that is holy about it. If Americans were to adhere to its dictates and doctrines, it would cause them to break the first commandment of God.
So, the question arises as to what should be done by Americans with such a book that advocates the breaking of God’s Law to make room for another god in this nation, which was handed over to us by our ancestors for safe keeping. Many of them were very godly people, who died for their supreme Commander God in order to preserve liberty in this land under Him. There was not one Muslim fighting for God and liberty; they threw their support behind Hitler, who had the same maniacal approach to killing as they had, in order to satisfy his religious fervor for a world dictatorship.
Do you think that our American parents, whose sons and daughters have been killed fighting against Muslim terrorists, the same brutes who act upon the dictates of the Koran, are happy to see Washington showing more respect for the Muslim Koran, than it shows for our Holy Bible? This is the only Holy Book in the world, and it is the bedrock foundation of the liberty enjoyed by western civilization, something the Muslims know nothing about in Islamic controlled countries.
Where were Obama and his czars, when one of America’s own military men, a certain Lt. Col. Mark Wright, ordered the trashing and burning of Bibles in Afghanistan, because of the religious fervor of the Muslims, and the fear that one might be handed out to offend them and bring on a rampage of killing? He was afraid for the safety of our soldiers in view of the barbaric behavior of angry Muslims. According to CNN he was a military chaplain who carried out the deed of seeing they were trashed.
What does this have to say about how seriously Americans take the Word of our God, to whom Congressmen and Parliamentarians are quick to pray in times of crisis? How come the press wasn’t all over the seriousness of this situation and the terrible offense it caused me as a Canadian-American citizen who pays her taxes to allow such military action and who holds both my God and His book in the highest esteem? It poses the question as to what we are doing over there, thinking we can turn such barbaric people away from their beastly acts to become civilized human beings.
Under the leadership of Jones, a man called Wayne Sapp, actually ignited the fire under the Koran, doing something that I believe God, Himself, would do; the Koran, which advocates another god before the God of the Law of America and also advocates killing those who believe in the Law of our God, was burned. It led to a killing rampage of innocent people by Muslims.
This is hardly news, for Muslims kill innocent people on a regular basis because they do not adhere to their so-called holy book, but instead adhere to a truly Holy Book, written under the influence of the Holy Spirit of God. For no other reason than hatred for the infidel, who is you and me, they went on a killing spree, demanding an apology from America, as though we, and not their book, based on a killing doctrine, were responsible for their insufferable behavior.
Now, I know nothing about the pastor, Terry Jones, or why he carries a gun at his side, nor does it matter who he is or what the man believes. But I do know this; he is exerting his right to freedom of expression. Unless he is harming someone physically, it is irrelevant whether or not he or anyone else is hurting someone’s feelings. There is no law that says hurting someone’s feelings is a crime. Freedom of expression always will meet opposition. The crime is when someone with hurt feelings kills another because of differences of opinion.
I would suggest to you that this man, Jones, has had his life threatened by laying his beliefs on the line, which has led to threats being made against him by our ‘peace-loving Muslims’ here in America. This is how Islam works in its fundamental form. It has no laws like those of America, which preserve the peace and keep people from killing because of hurt feelings. Muslims are nothing more than descendants of Cain who thought he could get away with killing his brother because he had hurt feelings. God saw the situation differently.
An interviewer asked Jones what he thought Jesus would do in this situation. The smug look on the interviewer’s face inferred that he saw Jesus as a sweet, meek and mild man, who would do no such thing as Jones had done to insult His religious contemporaries. First of all, the interviewer probably has no understanding, whatsoever, of who Jesus really was and is. Though humble and meek, He was no wimp. He called the religious men of His day, serpents, and a brood of vipers whose father was the devil. Was this not the same thing as igniting a fire under their feet that would eventually lead to His own death? He responded very little differently to the religion of Judaism as did Terry Jones respond to the evil religion of Islam.
Of course, it is a very wicked cult – but the politically correct would have you believe that American Muslims going to mosques and studying the Koran as a way of life are friends to the Christians of America. Their religious leaders are every bit as much vipers as were the Pharisees of Judaism, and if we do not rid this country of the Koran, then the Muslims will do to Americans what the Pharisees did to Jesus; they will unite with the state to get rid of anyone who will not accept the idols of the Koran. I would rather see the Koran burned in this land, than see the heads roll of those whose ancestors built this country as an inheritance for them.
Such thinking is fundamental to Islam and the terrorists are nothing more or less than good Muslims who believe in the fundamental killing doctrine of Islam and the carrying out of it. There is no such thing as moderate Muslims, because there is no such thing as moderate Islam; they are victims of an evil cult. What we call terrorism is merely the enactment of fundamental Islam as laid out in that most unholy book called the Koran.
What would Jesus do with the Koran? He would step on it with His heel and destroy the head of the beast, as the Seed of the woman coming against the seed of the beast. This is found in the third chapter of Genesis, for God is outlining from the beginning that the battle is between Satan and God, and God’s commandments are the way to victory through Jesus, not through Mohammed or Allah. It is no more true to say Mohammed was a prophet than it is true to say he flew to the moon. All prophets came out of Israel, or, today, out of spiritual Israel, but never did they come from the gentile nations; they never spoke for the beast – they only spoke for God.
Islam has its power center in Iran, which is located where Babylon used to be in Biblical times. It could be said that Ahmadinejad is like the Nebuchadnezzar of today’s Babylon. And what does God have to say about Babylon? “The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; the people will labor in vain, and the nations, because of the fire; and they shall be weary (Jeremiah 51:58).”
Again, in response to the interviewer who asked Terry Jones if he thought Jesus would burn the Koran – you can bet your ‘britches’ that He would, in the same way that His fury against the religious defilers of the temple led to His overthrowing the tables of the money-changers. He was one with God and shared God’s opinion of Babylon.
Thank goodness for the boldness of Terry Jones and his cohort for doing exactly what Jesus would do in the face of enormous opposition from the left and from weak-kneed liberal preachers who call themselves Christians, but are far from the heart of the Lord! They are the Pharisees of today called the Laodicean church, which Jesus said He is going to spew out of His mouth like vomit with the stench of religion upon it.
It is time for a few other preachers to take a page from the book of Terry Jones and do a little burning of their own. If the governments cannot stand up for the constitutions of America, and the church fails to be a light to the world, then the job falls back into the hands of a few brave men. Thank God for the boldness of this preacher in leading the way to what should have been done years ago. I pray that he and Wayne Sapp will not be destroyed by those who should be standing up with them as their brothers in Christ.
It was tough going for the apostles after failing Jesus at the cross, but then they picked up their own crosses and there was no turning back in the face of extreme religious opposition that threatened their lives relentlessly as they stood for truth to the end. There was none among them who would ever have knuckled to the demands of Islam like Wright and Obama. They addressed the uselessness of the Roman and Greek gods before the very faces of the Romans and Greeks, fearing not for the threats, which would most certainly come against their lives and which eventually led to the slaughter of thousands of believers of the Way.
America is slowly losing her good men of this kind of integrity and bravery. What can be expected with leaders of the sort we have today? They are milquetoasts who are afraid of the Muslim enemy, when it is God they should fear; He will remember exactly who burned His book and who burned the book calling for other gods within His land.
It is very evident as to why the ACLU wants the Ten Commandments removed from the courthouses of America. The way is being prepared by the Koran-carrying enemy from within to condemn men like Jones, who stand up for God and act in accordance with His Word.
