Prophecy in the making
While much of the attention of Americans and their “leaders” is focused on race riots in Ferguson, Mo., Reuters reports that the Islamic State (IS,once called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and Islamic State of Syria and the Levant) has issued a chilling video warning that it will attack Americans “in any place” if US airstrikes hit its terrorists. The video, showing photographs of an American beheaded during the Iraq War, stated in English, “we will drown you in blood.” Meanwhile ABC News and others report the US Secret Service is investigating a tweet showing a smartphone screen displaying the Islamic State’s logo held up in front of the White House, containing the hashtag #target.
In an August 7 video, a spokesman for the IS said, “I say to America that the Islamic Caliphate has been established. Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq. We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House.” My immediate response is that the American people beat them to it by virtue of the past two presidential elections. Looking deeper into the Islamic State, however, is at least in part an invention of the current White House, which approved the release of its leader after closing an Iraq prison in 2009. There are reports that the US also trained many current leaders of IS in Jordan with to fight Syria.
The US “president” has refused to enforce border security amid warnings from many, including Texas Governor Rick Perry, that Islamic terrorists are crossing into the US from Mexico. There is a publicized threat aimed toward the White House. The US is in the sights of the Islamic State. No president in the history of America has assisted, aided and abetted Islam more than the current “president.” Yet these terrorists continue to see the US as “the Great Satan.” So much for “New Beginnings” that the “president” discussed in his Cairo speech in June 2009. Those new beginnings appear to have more in common at America having a new beginning toward receiving Islam and Sharia Law than peace with Islam.
In the aforementioned video, IS fighters are indeed attacking the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, using American military equipment. They are also using that equipment to expand their Caliphate toward Baghdad, massacring Christians and others along the way. Captured or provided, American weapons are being used. The US “president” assisted in establishing IS through the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda. So far, IS is focused on killing infidels, seizing land and taking spoil as does the union of Turks, Assyrians, Persians, and Arabs in Ezekiel 38:12, “To take a spoil, and to take a prey.” If and when IS is strong enough and big enough, the prey will be Israel. Prophecy in the making? Perhaps.
