The Teachings of The Koran

Written By Ralph Tankersley:

I) Introduction:

1) The word Koran has two spellings. The English spelling is (Koran) and the Arabic spelling is (Qur’an).

2) The Qur’an was originally written in Arabic, in and around the year of 625-30 A.D. by the Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an, like the Hebrew Holy Scriptures is written and read from right to left. The English translation is written and read from left to right. In the world today there exist over 600 different translations of the Qur’an in different languages. There are very few languages in the world today that does not have a translation of the Qur’an.

3) When a Christian needs instruction on how he should live his life in relationship to God, and in relationship to his fellow man, he turns to his Holy Book, the Bible.

4) When a Muslim needs instruction on how he should live his life in relationship to God, and in relationship to his fellow man, he turns to his Holy Book, the Qur’an. Thus, the Qur’an is to the Muslim what the Bible is to a Christian.

5) The Muslim believes that the Qur’an is the final Revelation from God to mankind. This Revelation was reveled to mankind through the Prophet Muhammad. The Muslims further believes that Muhammad was the last Prophet, sent to man from God.

6) They also believe that the prophet Muhammad established on earth the world’s one and only true religion, the religion of Islam. They believe it became necessary for God to send the Prophet Muhammad to the earth because Allah’s will was not being done on planet earth. They believe that both Christians and Jews rebelled against the teachings of Allah, thus setting the stage for the prophets coming. They believe God has turned his back on both Jews and Christians. Therefore, it became necessary for God to send mankind a new Revelation, and a new prophet, whereby mankind could become reconciled unto the “One True God”.

7) In the year of 1981, I did a research on the teachings of the Muslim faith. In that year, I became convinced that the Muslim nations would play an important part in the end time events from a religious, economic, and a military perspective. Therefore, I went out and bought a copy of the Qur’an. Now by reading it through from cover to cover, I became convinced the Islamic religion would become a force that the entire world would be required to deal with in the last days. Now here is some of what I have based my research upon as I have read the Islam Qur’an.

II) “The History of Islam”:

1) If we are to understand the world in which we live and why things are the way they are, we must first obtain a basic understanding of the history of Islam. This religion was based upon the death and destruction of our fellow man from the beginning: Do not believe our Left Wing Liberal politicians who teach that Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by radical Islamist. Nothing could be further from the truth as both history and the Qur’an clearly teach.

2) In studying the history of Islam, I discovered that the first Jewish holocaust committed in the world, was committed by the Prophet Muhammad. There was a town in the Arabian Peninsula with a large Jewish population comprised of some eight hundred Jewish families. They were the descendants of the tribe of Levi a priestly tribe. Muhammad gave the Jews a choice, renounce your God and become a follower of Islam or die. When the 800 Jewish men refused to renounce God; and become a follower of Muhammad, he had their heads chopped off, and sold the women and children into slavery never to be heard from again. “Now that’s peace, Muslim style”!

3) Nothing has changed in 1400 years: The Muslims, working in conjunction with the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and most especially the United Nations plans to wipe Israel off the map, unless they can convince the Jews to commit national suicide. When? At the time of the end, just before the start of the Tribulation period in history.

4) Therefore, we will examine some of the teachings of the Qur’an and most especially those teachings that pertain to both Christians and Jews. Why? The religion of Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world today. This religion will play an important part in the end time events, most especially as it pertains to Christians and Jews. These events will not only affect the Jews living in the land of Israel, but also Jews and Christians around the world including the United States.

5) Now as we draw ever closer to the Second Coming of Christ. Therefore, if we are to understand these events from a Biblical and a Historical perspective, we must first obtain a basic understanding of the teachings of the Qur’an, as it pertains to Christians and Jews, and all other religious beliefs.

III) “The Law of the Muslims”:

1) When you read the Teachings of the Qur’an, you are not only reading the teachings that govern their religious life, but also their legal life. The Qur’an is the foundation for Sharia (Muslim law). All devout Muslims recognize “Sharia law” as the supreme law of the land, regardless of where they live in the world. All devout Muslims are required to work, and endeavor to implement “Shari law” in every nation in which they live throughout the world. All other laws governing the life of a nation must be destroyed as quickly as possible, and replaced with “Sharia law” as the Supreme law of the land. This law is based upon the Teachings of the Qur’an.

IV) “The One True God”:

1) “Allah is the one true God”. This is taught clearly in the following passage.

2) “Allah, (there is) no god but He, the ever-living, Self-subsisting by whom all things subsist.” Qur’an; (Surah 3:2), on page 44.

3) The Qur’an also teaches the One True God Allah, has no son. This they say; is a teaching of Christians and Jews.

4) “And they say: (Christians and Jews) Allah has taken to himself a son. Glory be to him; rather what ever is in the heavens and the earth is His; all are obedient to Him.” (Qur’an; (Surah 2:116), page 16).

5) The Muslim is warned in the Qur’an, they have received the truth, and they (Christians and Jews} are companions that are going to perish in the flaming fire. (Which is Hell)? The story is recorded as follows:

6) “Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and as a warning, and ye shall not be called upon to answer for the companions of the flaming fire.” Qur’an; (Surah 2:119), page 16).

7) In the following passage Muslims are once again warned against the religious teachings of both Jews and Christians.

8) “And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. The response of a Muslim is recorded in the remaining part of the passage), Say: Surely Allah’s guidance that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that which has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper” Qur’an; (Surah 2:120), page 16).

9) The following passage gives the Muslim, the assurance that he has received the true word.

10) “Those to whom we have given the Book to read it as it ought to be read. These believe in it; (the Muslims) and whoever disbelieves in it, these it is that are the losers.” Qur’an; (Surah 2:121), page 16).

11) Where Christians and Jews are concerned, the Qur’an teaches that the Muslim followers of the Prophet Muhammad the following:

12) “This is a people that have passed away; (no longer in God’s favor) they shall have what they earned and you shall have what you earned, and you (Muslims) shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.” Qur’an; (Surah 2:134), page 16).

13) The Jews and Christians response to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, according to the teaching of the Qur’an are as follows:

14) “And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. (Muhammad instructs his followers to respond in the following manner), “Say: Nay! (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, (this word means Islam) and the Hanif, (this man was one of the early leaders of Islam) and he was not one of the polytheists” (The word polytheist means unbeliever). Therefore, this man was not a Jew nor a Christian, but a true follower of the Prophet Muhammad). (Qur’an; (Surah 2:135), page 18.

15) The Qur’an clearly teaches Jews and Christians have passed away, they are no longer in God’s favor, they are no longer part of God’s plan for planet earth. Therefore, the Qur’an teaches the Muslim how he should deal with both Jews and Christians during his life span on planet earth. This teaching is recorded as follows:

16) “You who believe! (this part of the passage refers to the Muslims) do not take the Jews and Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surly he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Qur’an; (Surah 5:51), page 103.

17) A Muslim that takes a Jew or Christian for a friend, is considered by his fellow Muslims to be a Jew or Christian. Therefore, this Muslim must be dealt with in the same manner as he would deal with a Christian, a Jew, or any other unbeliever. The Muslim method for dealing with Christians, Jews, and Muslims that take them for friends is recorded as follows:

18) “And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.”Qur’an; (Surah 2:193), page 26.

19) To those oppressors of the one true faith, be they Jews, Christians, or Muslims that have taken them for friends, the Qur’an gives the following instruction to the faithful.

20) “And kill them where ever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight with you, then slay them, such is the recompense of unbelievers.” Qur’an; (Surah 2:191), page 26.

21) Over and over again, the Qur’an gives the Muslim faithful clear, plain, and precise instruction on how they should deal with the oppressors of the Muslim faith, be they Jew, Christian, or Muslims who take them for friends. These individuals are considered to be at war with Allah, (the one true God) and his Prophet Muhammad, the apostle of God. These instructions from the apostle of God are recorded as follows:

22) “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or the should be imprisoned; this shall be a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter a grievous chastisement” Qur’an; (Surah 5:33), page 100.

23) If you are a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim who has taken one of these socially unacceptable people as a friend and object to being murdered, crucified, or having your hands and feet cut off or thrown in to prison, the apostle of the One True God has provided a means for you to escape these punishments. The means is recorded as follows:

24) “Except those who repent before you have them in your power; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” Qur’an; (Surah 5:34), page 100.

25) Notice the terminology in this passage, (before you have them in your power). Once you are in their power, (under their control) Allah is not Forgiving or Merciful and neither are the Muslim faithful who follow the teachings of the Apostle and Prophet of the One True God, as it is recorded in the Qur’an.

Now Christians, Jews, and Muslims who take them for friends are described in the Qur’an as people who practice idolatry. The Prophet gives the following instruction concerning idolaters.

26) “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives, and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer (establish Islamic worship) and pay the poor rate, (give alms to the poor) leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” Qur’an; (Surah 9:5), page 169.

27) Once again you have proof this Apostle and Prophet of the One True God, is one blood thirsty individual and so are the Muslim faithful who follow his teachings as they are recorded in the Qur’an.

28) “And the Jews say; Uzair is the son of Allah; (Uzair is and Arabic word that refers to the Son of God) and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; (disbelieved the teachings of Allah) may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away” (no-longer in Allah favor). Qur’an; (Surah 9:30), page 173.

29) Concerning Jews and Christians the Qur’an records the following as it pertains to their desires.

30) “They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect his light, though the unbelievers are averse.” Qur’an; (Surah 9:32), page 173.

31) The light of Allah in this passage refers to the teachings of the Qur’an. This is the light Jews and Christians are endeavoring to put out with their mouths (testimony). Jews and Christians are not only described as people who have passed away and oppressors of the one true faith, they are also described as unbelievers and hypocrites. Concerning unbelievers and hypocrites the Qur’an teaches the following:

32) “Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is in hell, and evil is their destination.” Qur’an; (Surah 9:73), page 179).

33) The Prophet Muhammad has declared in the Qur’an, that Christians and Jews are evil, and their abode (home) is in hell. That which is recorded above is a few of the teachings that is recorded in the Qur’an, as it pertains to Christians and Jews.

34) The Islamic religion is the only religion in the world that openly advocates the Killing and Murdering of one’s fellow man in their Holy Book. Most Christians in the world today are totally unaware of their teachings, as they have never read or studied the Qur’an.

35) Therefore, it is my contention, that Islam is a religion created by Satan, and he was a murderer from the beginning: Read, (John 8:44). The teachings of apostate Christians and politicians in Washington D.C. are not with standing.

36) We will now take the teachings of the Qur’an and put them in modern day perspective, and in relationship to the world in which we live in.

37) The Islamic religion is one of the largest religion in the world today. It is also the fastest growing religion in the world today, including the United States. There is more Mosque under construction in America today, than there are Churches or Synagogues. From a global perspective there are One billion, two hundred and fifty million people who are followers of the Islamic faith.

38) From a Christian perspective, there are over one Billion people in the world today who profess the name of Jesus Christ. From a Jewish perspective, there are fifteen million Jews living in the world today. Thus, there are more Muslims in the world today than there are Christians and Jews added together.

39) In the United States today there are five million nine hundred thousand Jews living from coast to coast and border to border. Today there are also seven million Muslims living from coast to coast and border to border. Most of these Muslims have come into this country in the past 12 years. Thus, there are almost as many Muslims living in the United States as there are Jews living in Israel and Europe combined.

40) One of the Muslims families that came into this country in the past 12 years is the family of Charles Bishop. Charles Bishop and his family are of Syrian, whose family emigrated from Syria to the United States in 1989? In 1991, his mother changed the family name from Bishara, to Bishop. This family was financially affluent, and able to pay for private flying lessons for their teenage son. On Saturday, Charles Bishop piloted a stolen plane and committed suicide by crashing his plane into a Bank of America skyscraper in Tampa. Police say the suicide note he left behind expressed sympathy and admiration for Osama bin Laden and the terrorist acts he committed against the United States, on September, 11,2001. When Pinellas County sheriff’s department questioned his mother as to why she changed the family name, she told the investigators she did so because she didn’t want to carry a Middle Eastern name during the Persian Gulf War.
This source of information was in USA Today.

41) It is therefore my contention, there is only one possible connection between this 15 year old boy and the sympathy and admiration he had for Osama bin Laden and his terrorist acts of September 11, and that connection is the teachings and doctrines recorded in the Qur’an. This Syrian family changed their name, but they did not change their religion. This boy, his family, and Osama bin Laden are Muslims and the followers of the Prophet Muhammad.

42) In the Islamic world children are born into Islamic families, but these children are not yet considered to be true Muslims. They only become true Muslims when they due their duty to Allah, by accepting the teachings of the Qur’an in their personal life. These people are warned they should not die except as Muslims. Thus, one’s duty to Allah, and the fulfillment of the teachings recorded in the Qur’an are paramount in the life of a Muslim believer. The following is recorded in the Qur’an where the believer in the Muslim faith is concerned
43) “You who believe! be careful of your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to him, and do not die unless you are a Muslims.” Qur’an; (Surah 3:102), page 56).

44) “And hold fast by the covenant of Allah (this covenant is the teachings of the Qur’an) all together and be not disunited, and remember the favor of Allah on you when you were enemies, then he united your hearts so by His favor you became brethren; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then he saved you from it; thus does Allah make clear to you His communications, (His communications, the teachings of the Qur’an) that you may follow the right way.”
Qur’an; (Surah 3:103), page 56.

45) Charles Bishop followed the right way. He received Allah communications, and held fast to the covenant of Allah, did his duty to Allah, and died as a true believer of the Muslim faith when he committed suicide, waging war against the enemies of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. Beyond a doubt Charles Bishop died a true Muslim, and in the direct fulfillment of the teachings of the Qur’an as it is recorded in (Surah 3:102-103), page 56.

V) “Now consider the following”:

1) Richard Reid is an Englishman who has been indicted by a federal grand jury on nine counts, including attempted murder. Upon his release from prison, for burglary, Richard Reid joined a local Mosque in south London. There he embraced the Islamic religion so totally and completely, he was sent to Afghanistan for training in terrorism. At an al-Qaida training camp he received special training, and became part Osama bin Laden terrorist network. On December 22, he was jailed in Plymouth Mass. after he tried to blow up an American Airlines flight with explosive’s concealed in his shoes. The indictment alleges Mr. Reid to be a foreign terrorist.

2) In California, John Walker joined the local Mosque at the age of 16. Under the instruction of the Islamic clergy, he embraced the Islamic religion. Later he went to Pakistan for advanced religious training. Upon the completion of that training, he went to Afghanistan and was trained in terrorism at an al-Qaida training camp operated by Osama bin Laden. During the war in Afghanistan, John Walker took up arms against his country, and fought with the Taliban and the al-Qaida terrorist network in this war. In my opinion, John Walker should stand trial for treason against the United States. Why? John Walker is not a foreign terrorist, he is a home grown terrorist who has committed treason by taking up arms against his country.

3) As I examined the lives of Charles Bishop, Richard Reid, and John Walker, I came to the following conclusion. Muslims terrorist are not bound together by countries or nationality. The glue that bonds these Muslims together is the Islamic religion, Islamic law, and the teachings in the Qur’an. Therefore, it is my contention, any nation in the world that has a Muslim Mosque, and the Qur’an has been translated into the native language has the potential to produce a Muslim terrorist.

4) Terrorism did not begin with Osama bin Laden; it originated with Yasser Arafat and the PLO. for history records the following:

5) On May 14, 1948, the nation of Israel was established once again in the land that God gave unto their forefathers, in the fulfillment of (Jeremiah 16:15); and many other passages. On May 15, 1948, the Muslims launched a Jihad Holy war against the nation of Israel. Why?

6) At the end of World War 1, the land was put under the control of Great Britain. In order to appease the Arab oil producing nations, Great Britain only permitted a very small number of Jews to enter the land legally. At the close of World War 11, there were thousands that had survived Hitler’s death camps and had no place to go. No nation in Europe would accept these displaced people. Why? They had no family, home, job, business or money. Everything they owned had been stripped away, and they were alone. Therefore, these displaced Jews were placed in internment camps on the island of Cyprus until the world could decide what to do with them. The Jewish Zionist organization smuggled hundreds of Jews out of these internment camps, and brought them to the land that God gave unto their fathers. In order to enter the land, this survivor’s of Hitler’s death camps had to run the British blockade. In those days, Great Britain had placed a naval blockade along the entire coastline of Israel, in an endeavor to prevent Jews from entering the land illegally. This they did in an endeavor to once again appease the Arab oil producing nations. This time frame in history is the Jews darkest hour. Can anyone image what it was like to be a Jew in those days? Can anyone image what it was like to be a survivor of Hitler’s death camps, to be rejected by the nations of the world, crossing the sea in old leaky boats, only to be shelled by the British Navy or shot by British troops patrolling the coast lands. Hundreds who survived the death camps died in sight of the land of Israel, by the British Navy, or the British Army. Those who survived and entered the land, are now confronted by 65 million Muslims from the surrounding Arab nations who are hell bent on their destruction. From 1948, until the present time, countless thousands of Jewish men, women and children have died at the hands of Muslim terrorist under the leadership of Yasser Arafat and the PLO. The Muslim war against the Jews has been going on for over fifty years.

7) From a Christian perspective, the Muslim war against the Christians began approximately 25 years ago. History now records the following facts.

8) In the nation of Pakistan, two Christians to be killed for every Muslim: On October 3rd, 2001, Muslim religious leaders issued a fat-wah (religious edict) stating that two Pakistani Christians will be killed for every Muslim who dies during American air strikes on Afghanistan. Maulana Sami ul-Haq, a former member of Pakistan’s legislative assembly, and a nationally recognized figure closely connected to all international Islamic terrorist movements, told journalists that the Qur’an clearly states that Jews and Christians are the enemies of Muslims, and should be killed.

9) Before the religious edict was issued, Muslim persecution of Christians had already begun. On the evening of September 11th the Muslims celebrated the collapse of the World Trade Center by burning Christians Church’s, killing their pastors and murdering their families. Christian families were dragged from their homes and savagely beaten before they were killed by the celebrating Muslim mobs. What the final death count will be in this Muslim dominated nation is yet to be determined.

10) Review the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad once again as it is recorded in the Qur’an; (Surah 5:34), page 100. Why? The Muslims will show you no mercy when they have you in their power. In the land of Israel the Muslims celebrated long into the night, as they shouted for joy, and fired their guns into the air.

11) Syria was recently voted into the UN Security Council. This nation has a long record for supporting Muslim terrorist groups. Of the 177 nations who voted, 160 nations voted in favor of including Syria on the Council. Therefore, it is my contention the world at large is not standing behind Israel in her fight against terrorism, but his giving their support to the Muslims terrorist. Now that we have the historical facts, we will now take these facts and put them in relationship to the teachings of scripture. In our world today, the Muslims are in a rage all over the world. This rage is going to increase in frequency and intensity in the months and years to come. The question we must now address is this! Why? I believe the answer to this question is recorded in scripture. It has always been my personal belief the scriptures tell what is going to happen in history, and history will always prove that which is recorded in scripture is true. Let’s see if you agree as we consider the following: as recorded by the apostle John.

12) “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” (Revelation 12:7).

13) Ever since God created man and gave him dominion over the earth, there has been a war raging in the heavens. Little by little in these last days, Satan is losing the war and his angelic followers are being driven out of heaven. There is only one place left in God’s universe where these demonic angels can go and that place is planet earth. My proof is recorded in the following passages.

14) “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” (Revelation 12:8).

15) “Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” (Revelation 12:12).

16) To be sure the devil himself has not yet been driven out of the heavens. If this were true, then world conditions would be much worse than they are today. However, it is my personal belief that many of his angels are already here. As they descend to the earth, these angelic followers of Satan are taking peace from off the face of the earth.

17) Waiting to receive these demonic angels are over 1 billion Muslims raised in a religion that teaches them to kill their enemies.

18) It is my contention; the book of Revelation is not laid out in chronological order. Many of the teachings recorded in this book are going to be fulfilled in a time frame of God’s own choosing, and not in accordance with our understanding. If this is not true, then there is no Biblical explanation for the current events taking place in our world today. However, there is a Biblical explanation because the Muslim religion is a religion created by Satan; and not by God. How do I know? Because of the following passages of scripture.

19) “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them which curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” (Luke 6:27-28).

20) Christians are taught to love their enemies, while Muslims are taught to kill their enemies. This is the basic difference between a religion created by God, and a religion created by Satan. The Second Coming of Christ is the only answer to the problems that confront our world today.

21) In the days to come, persecution of Christians and Jews is going to increase infrequency and intensity as we draw ever closer to the Second Coming of Christ. The decree of persecution that Christians and Jews will one day endure in America at the hands of the Muslims is yet to be determined.

22) Therefore it is my contention that both Christians and Jews need to pull their collective heads out of the sand and recognize their true enemy.

23) If America ever turns on the nation of Israel, and joins the world at large in dividing God’s land and the city of Jerusalem,
God’s judgment upon our nation will be beyond belief: The proof is recorded in the following passage.

24) “And it shall come to pass in that day, (the last days) that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 12:9).

25) When God seeks to destroy all nations, that come against Jerusalem, the conditions that exist on the earth during this time frame are recorded in the following passages.

26) “As it was in the days of (Noah) so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” (Luke 17:26).

27) When God destroyed Noah’s world with a flood, the following events were taking place.

28) “They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” (Luke 17:27).

29) These passages of scripture tell the story of every life as it existed on the earth before the flood of Noah. This flood was an act of judgment because of sin upon the earth. When we check out in scripture the conditions that existed in Noah’s world before the flood, and the conditions that exist in our world today, both Noah’s world and our world are exactly the same. The proof is recorded in the following passage

30) “The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.” (Genesis 6:11)

31) Noah lived in a corrupt and violent world, just as you and I do today. In our world today, the Muslims are in a rage all over the world, due to the teachings recorded in the Qur’an by the prophet Muhammad. The violent Muslim nations of this earth have taken peace from off the face of the earth, and filled our world with violence and terror. These people have one goal, world domination, and they will use any means at their disposal in their endeavors to create a Muslim Islamic dominated world. This includes murder, kidnapping, suicide bombings, chopping off heads, as they use their oil economic power against the nations that oppose them, in their drive for world domination.

32) The Muslim nations of this earth that surround the nation of Israel, and have filled our world in these last days with violence and terror, are described in scripture as heathen nations that will be in a rage all over the world, but most especially in the Middle East. God’s wrath against these heathen nations is clearly recorded in scripture. Turn now to the book of Psalms, chapter 2, and read from scripture why the heathens are in a rage.

33) “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?” (Psalms 2:1).

34) “The kings (politicians) of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, (Jesus Christ) saying,” (Psalms 2:2).

35) “Let us break their bands (of restraint) asunder, and cast away their cords (of control) from us.” (Psalms 2:3).

36) In the last days, these raging heathen nations will try to provoke Israel to the point whereby they can no-longer restrain or control themselves, thereby bringing the wrath of God down upon their heads. This they will try to accomplish through murder, kidnappings, suicide bombings, etc, and etc. Please remember, a Muslim will kill, kidnap, chop off the head, or use a suicide bomber against another Muslim just as fast as they will a Christian or Jew, if there is hope of achieving a political end. No form of human life is sacred to these people, not even their own. This is the one thing the political and religious leaders of the western world fail to understand. Therefore, we try to negotiate with these people based upon our values concerning human life, and not upon theirs. A Muslim only negotiates when he is confronted be an enemy of superior numbers or fire power. However, when he is superior in numbers and fire power, their is no negotiations, for he has you in his power as it is taught in the Qur’an, you are going to die according to the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad.

37) When the political and military leaders of this nation finally accept this great truth, our troops in Iraq will quit dyeing needlessly, for there can only be one end to this type of military conflict, their death or ours: In this global battle, it is the sword of Islam against the cross of Christ, or God against the Devil. This is the one thing our political, military, and religious leaders fail to understand. We are not nor fighting a political system, are we fighting a religious theology. However, the Lord is going to take care of the problem, for the scripture records the following:

38) “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” (Psalms 2:4).

39) The word derision means to mock, ridicule, scorn contempt. The Lord who created heaven and earth has nothing but ridicule, scorn, and contempt for these raging heathens.

40) “Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore Displeasure.” (Psalms 2:5).

41) Don’t let some Liberal who was educated in one of our Bible disbelieving Liberal colleges try and tell you that Islam is a religion of peace, or that God has many names, or that all men worship the same God. Nothing could be further from the truth! If Muslims worshiped the God of creation, God would not bring forth his wrath and judgment upon these nations. You cannot support the religion of Satan and be a believer in Jesus Christ. You will know them by their works saith the scriptures.

42) This concludes my original writing on the Teachings of the Qur’an.

43) Now we are going to fast forward now to the year 2008. America has just elected its first black president. In those days when I tried to tell people that Obama was a Muslim, but they thought I was insane, they tried to brand me as a racist. Why? Didn’t he attend Rev. Wright’s Church of Christ for 20 years? Yes, a pastor who “Cursed America” from the pulpit of his church on Sunday morning.

44) I tried to inform people that he only attended church to deceive church going America, when he or his handlers decided it was time for him to run for public office. Once again I was branded as a racist, and many questioned my faith and belief in Jesus Christ. They said I was “Playing the race card”, this was always the Liberal/Progressive/Socialist final argument. But my response was as follows:

45) One day this man is going to show his true colors that even the most Liberals church members and the politicians can’t deny. That day has finally arrived: In May, 2011 this Muslim President, Barack Hussein Obama; finally crawled out of the woodwork and appointed two devout Muslims to the top post in Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim is now Assistant Secretary for Policy Development, and Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, is now the National Executive Director of Homeland Security Advisory Council. Both were sworn in by another Obama appointee, Janet Napolitano; the Secretary of Homeland Security. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it a devout Muslims that high jacked two planes that destroyed the twin towers in New York City. Wasn’t it a devout Muslims that destroyed a large portion of the Pentagon? Now wasn’t it a devout Muslims that forced another plane to crash in Pennsylvania. Wasn’t it a devout Muslim that killed 13 and wounded 30 in Fort Hood, Texas?

46) From my perspective, having Muslims in charge of Homeland Security, is like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse.

47) As I watch these events unfold on the national and international scene, I was reminded of one of the great teachings of the prophet Daniel.

48) “This matter is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the Most High God Ruleth in the kingdom of men; and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17)

49) In the year 2008, this passage of scripture was fulfilled in the life of our nation, with America falling under the ruler ship of the basest of men. Why? Because, God will hold us accountable; for all of our national sins. As a result, today, every freedom and liberty guaranteed to us in our Constitution is under attack by the Obama Administration.

May the Lord help us to wake up and speak out, before the Muslims have us totally in their power?

The Borders of Israel

I) Why don’t the leaders in Washington know the true borders of the land of Israel? (They must not read the Holy Bible).

1) The borders of Israel did not happen by accident, they were established by God before the nation came into existence in the land that God gave unto their forefathers. These borders are defined in clear plain and precise language by the Highest God, and the only true God of Israel. (Jehovah); We can read this in the following passages of scripture.

2) “In the same day the Lord God made a covenant with Abram, saying, unto thy seed have I given this land, from the River of Egypt unto the great river, the River Euphrates.” (Genesis 15:18). KJV

3) Thus we know from scripture, the Bible is the Jews deed book to the land. Furthermore, in this passage of scripture the Lord defines the north and south borders of the nation of Israel, through a covenant that he made with Abram, long before the nation of Israel came into existence. This is from the River of Egypt in the south to the great River Euphrates in the north, would include all of modern day Lebanon and three fourths of the modern day nation of Syria, and all of the land of Cannon. The Lord expanded these borders in the following passages of scripture.

4) “Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh therein unto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the River Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.” (Deuteronomy 1:7-8). KJV

5) Thus we can plainly see from scripture, that the borders of Israel as defined by God, far exceeds the borders that is currently under contention by the EU, UN. These Presidents are Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Hussein Obama in their beloved Road Map to Peace.
When something as important as the borders of Israel is under contention, the Lord never leaves anything to chance but makes it plain in Holy Scripture.

II) Concerning the land that God gave unto their forefathers and the scripture records the following:

1) “For the land whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot as a garden of herbs: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land oh hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.” (Deuteronomy 11:10-12). KJV

2) The eyes of the Lord are always upon it. Now it is obvious six Americans presidents never read this passage of scripture, when they created their Road Map to Peace, or they simply have no fear of the Lord. The scriptures teach that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Psalm 111:10). Thus we know from scripture, America has had six presidents who lacked wisdom in relationship to its foreign policy with the nation of Israel.

3) When something as important as the borders of Israel is under contention, the Lord never leaves anything to chance; therefore the following is recorded in scripture.

4) “Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness (Sinai) and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall your coast be. There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he has said unto you” (Deuteronomy 11:24-25). KJV

5) A modern day fulfillment of this ancient teaching could take place in our world today, if Israel would trust the Lord, instead of putting its trust in the government of men. Why? The Lord can break the military power of any nation, kingdom, or empire. Example: (The Imperial Roman Empire). The Imperial Roman Empire did not go out of existence because it was defeated militarily. But it went out of existence because it was defeated economically through the debasement of its money supply. Now the United States is traveling down the same road, whereby, today, we are living in the closing days of the worlds last Super Power as we have known it in our lifetime.

6) When Moses led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and entered the Sinai, they left Egyptian territory behind and entered Israeli territory. How? The Sinai wilderness never officially belonged to Egypt, although it was militarily patrolled by the Egyptian army. Upon leaving the land of Egypt, the soles of Israeli feet treaded across this wilderness thereby making it Jewish land according to the teachings of the Most High God. However, Egypt had military outpost in the northern Sinai which the Israelis had to avoid on their way to the promise land. Therefore, it was most expedient for them to leave the Sinai as quickly as possible.

7) However, in spite of the plague’s the Lord had sent upon Egypt, the heart of Pharaoh was harden, and he and his army pursued after them. In scripture the following is recorded.

8) “But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, and Baal-zephon” (Exodus 14:9). KJV

9) “And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided” (Exodus 14:21). KJV

10) The shortest point for the Israelis to cross the Red sea and leave the Egyptian army behind was at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula. This is where I’ve always believed the crossing took place. Once the crossing was completed, scripture records the following:

11) “And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrow the Egyptians in the midst of the sea” (Exodus 14:27). KJV

12) “And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them” (Exodus 14:28). KJV

13) “But the children walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left” (Exodus 14:29). KJV

14) Leaving Pharaoh and the Sinai behind, Israel entered the Arabian Peninsula and the land of Midian. This land runs from the Southern part of the Dead Sea down to the western part of the Arabian Peninsula. Mount Sinai, where the Lord came down and gave Moses the Commandments is located in the Arabian Peninsula. The exact location of Mount Sinai is not recorded in the Old Testament; however, it is recorded in the New Testament. This is one of the great teachings of the apostle Paul; and is recorded in the following passage.

15) “For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answered to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.” (Galatians 4:25) KJV

16) The apostle Paul uses the teachings recorded in (Galatians 4:19-31); to show the difference between two systems, law and Grace. The law was given on Mount Sinai, but Grace comes from Jesus Christ.

17) Today Mount Sinai is fenced off, and the area is militarily patrolled by some continents of the Saudi Arabiaian army in order to keep out the infidel. (Christians and Jews)

18) Their land also includes the northern part of Arabia. Thus the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand. However, because they sinned against God; at Mount Sinai, when Moses was receiving the commandments, the following passage of scripture was fulfilled in the life of national Israel.

19) “And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.” (Numbers 32:13). KJV

20) Thus we have Biblical proof; the western part of the Arabiaian peninsula is part of Israel’s ancient homeland. Why? Because; they wandered in this wilderness for 40 years.

21) The modern day leaders of Israel are just as evil their ancient ancestors, and one day they also will be consumed by the Lord’s anger, as they try to negotiate a peace treaty with those who have sworn to destroy them. The Lord never intended for the enemies of Israel to live in his Holy Land, and he never intended for the people of Israel to make a covenant, (peace treaty) with them either.

22) Thus the scriptures clearly teach the Sinai belongs to the nation of Israel. However, this wilderness, like the Arabiaian wilderness, is not part of the Jewish heartland, but extended Jewish land. The heartland runs from the Euphrates River in the north, to the river of Egypt in the south. Later on in scripture the Lord will define the eastern border of the heartland.

III) The teachings of Joshua pick up where the teachings of Moses leave off in the book of Deuteronomy.

1) “Every place that the soles of your feet shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses”. From the wilderness (Sinai) and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, (the Hittites lived in what is today the modern day nation of Turkey, both east and west of the Euphrates River) and unto the great sea (Mediterranean) toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.” (Joshua 1:3-4). KJV

2) The land of the Hittites comprises almost ninety per cent of the modern day nation of Turkey. Thus both Moses and Joshua are teaching the same doctrine as it pertains to the borders of Israel.

3) Samuel the last of the judges tells the story of King David moving north to recover his border. His story is recorded as follows:

4) “David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rohob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.” (II Samuel 8:3). KJV

5) The scriptures tell the story of many battles fought by Israel in the defense of her borders. There is one such battle that is recorded in the book of (II Kings). KJV

6) In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and King Josiah went against him: and he slew him at Megiddo when he had seen him. (II Kings 23:29). KJV

IV) In this battle, King Josiah died in the defense of his border.

1) The lands east of the Jordan River, referred to today as the nation of Jordan also belong to the House of Israel. The proof is recorded in the following passages.

2) “And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead”. (This eastern part of the Euphrates runs south through the modern day nation of Iraq). And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.” (I Chronicles 5:9-10). KJV

3) Now both history and scripture clearly teach the land of Gilead lies east of the Jordan River. The Scripture goes on to record the following:

4) “And the children of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Basham unto Salcah:” (I Chronicles 5:11). KJV

5) The land of Basham, like the land of Gilead lies east of the Jordan River. These lands were settled by the tribe of Gad who was the seventh son of Jacob. The scriptures go on to record the following concerning this tribe and their descendants of the land of Israel.

6) “And they dwelt in Gilead in Basham, and in their towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders”. All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.”
(I Chronicles 5:16-17). KJV

7) Thus we have scriptural proof from the Word of God that the House of Israel owns the land on both sides of the Jordan River. The Lord didn’t leave anything to chance where the borders of Israel are concerned. These borders, like God’s covenant with Israel, are everlasting, for they were ordained by our God Jehovah. I know what I have just written will come as a great shock to the secular Jews and many Christians of both Israel and America. However, the scriptures clearly record, that the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, Saudi Arabians, and Jordanians, and Turks, all occupy Israeli land that was given to them by the One and only true God.

8) Thus the borders of the Israeli heartland extends from the Jordanian wilderness in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and from the Euphrates River in the north, to the River of Egypt in the south. The Sinai, which is extended Jewish land, ends at the uttermost sea. Thus their extended western border ends at the Red Sea. This Biblical truth should be enough to give George Bush and Condi Rice, Barack Hussein Obama, not to mention Miss Hillary Clinton an apoplexy. However, when the heathen are in a rage, Biblical truth no longer matters. They will do it their way, regardless of what the Lord has to say on the subject, and regardless of the judgment they will bring upon this nation from the hand of God. Why? They fear not the Lord!

9) Therefore, it is my contention; the political and diplomatic leaders of the world will never bring peace to this troubled region until they are willing to recognize the borders of Israel that was established by God. These godless political and diplomatic leaders will one day be consumed by the Lord’s anger, as their peace is a false peace, for no one can make true peace and leave God and his teachings out of the process.

10) Today Israel only controls about ten per cent of their ancient home-lands given to them by God. Even this small amount has the heathen nations in a rage. Sixty six years after the holocaust of WW 11, in which six million Jews died, the world is still trying to find the Final Solution to the Jewish question. Their solution is recorded as follows:

11) At a press conference on Tuesday, March 29, 2011, the UN Secretary-General by the name of Ban Ki-Moon, stated that the world body expects Israel to immediately surrender to the demands of the Palestinians for control of the Biblical lands of Judea, Samaria (West Bank) and half the city of Jerusalem. They called the Israelis position morally and politically unattainable and said that it must end.

12) Furthermore, the US ambassador to the UN, on orders of the current administration in Washington, has proposed a UN resolution, whereby the General Assembly will vote on the creation of a Palestinian state inside the land of Israel. The resolution was approved by the Security Council and the vote is scheduled to take place on September 4, 2011, in the event Israel refuses to surrender to the UN demands.

13) Meanwhile the Palestinians continue to move forward with their plan to unilaterally declare themselves an independent state. They are expecting to receive full support from the United Nations, completely apart from any negotiation with Israel and without making any concessions or promises of peace.

14) The UN like the current administration in the District of Corruption has no fear of the Lord. Why? They can never conceive the following passages of scripture being fulfilled during their watch, as they make a mockery of God’s law and God’s word.

15) “But the Lord is known for the judgment that he executed: the wicked is snared in the works of his own hand. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:16-17) KJV

16) If you are a Bible Believing Christian, you better join me in praying this resolution doesn’t pass, or better still, the vote is never taken. If it does, God’s Judgment is coming, and America will not escape His Judgment.

17) I hope you enjoyed reading the Borders of Israel. I hope you found the writing informative, and I pray it will enable you to make the right decisions in these last days as it pertains to God’s chosen people.
