The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheik Abdul Abdullah, says that it is
necessary to destroy all churches in the Middle East, and he based his
declaration on the Islamic holy book, the Hadith, which quotes Mohammad
as saying on his death bed, that only Islam can be practiced in the
Middle East. The Mufti asserted that all law in the Middle East must
conform to Sharia, the law of the Koran as revealed by Allah, the
Islamic god.
This declaration by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia comes on the heels
of a Wall Street Journal article written by the Israeli ambassador to
the United Nations which stated that Arab discrimination against
Christian minorities is a prevalent phenomenon throughout the Arab
world.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A declaration by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia that Christian churches
in the Middle East must be destroyed is a page out of Bible prophecy.
Over the last several years there have been many reports of Christian
churches being destroyed and church attenders being killed by radical
Islamists. This phenomenon has been on the increase in recent days and
the declaration from the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia that all Christian
churches in the Middle East must be destroyed, will only add to the
urgency of this destruction by Moslem radicals.
Across the Arab world, more and more Christians and their churches and
leaders, are the focus of a fast growing element in our world today who
say only the Islamic religion is the one that all of human kind must be a
part of in this time in history. This scenario unfolding today was
actually written about in a yesterday over 2000 years ago. John, the
human writer of the book of Revelation, wrote of the slaughter of
believers in Jesus Christ in a number of locations in the book of
Revelation. Revelation 6:9-11 foretells of a time when those who stand
for the Word of God, the Bible, and who have a testimony that Jesus
Christ is their Savior, these believers will be killed. Revelation 20:4
says that they will be beheaded for their faith. These Biblical
prophecies are referring to the time of Tribulation, that seven year
period of judgment on the earth following the Rapture and before the
Second Coming of Christ.
The Grand Mufti's call for all Christian churches in the Middle East to
be destroyed is indeed a lead up to Bible prophecy being fulfilled.
