JD: Ken, what can you tell us?
KT: So I was in Mosul in the Nineveh plain for well over a week visiting with church leaders looking at the bombed out churches in west Mosul it’s a devastation of literally Biblical proportions. There’s fourth century churches that are down on the ground just piles of rubble. They were bombed by the coalition but I talked to an arch bishop and so of course they had to bomb them because ISIS turned them into military headquarters. It wasn’t just sniper positions it was a military outpost.
You can see everywhere and every church, every cemetery
where ISIS had gone in and broken crosses, defaced crosses. They even went into
church cemeteries this was really shocking and dug up bodies; exhumed bodies
from the cemeteries to behead them. Now the said Christian could come back to
some of those cemeteries and re-bury their dead.
This has been just extraordinary devastation Jimmy. I follow
this story as you know closely for many years and it went beyond anything I had
expected; the destruction in these areas. In the Nineveh plain which is the
Christian heartland this is a land that I’ve said many times on this program it
was proselytized by St. Thomas in the first century AD. This is the Christian
homeland as much as Jerusalem is. The first Christians in the Middle East lived
there. In churches today they still speak in Aramaic the language of Jesus.
So this is our land as Christians. This is our homeland,
these people are our people and they are suffering. They are our brothers and
sisters in Christ and they are suffering. We suffer with them. I cannot say
this enough to fellow Christians here in the United States they are part of the
body of Christ, this part of the body of Christ is hurting, it’s suffering,
they have been traumatized. They desperately need our help.
JD: Ken Timmerman just back from a fact-finding trip from Mosul
Iraq with details on the persecution of Christians in the location of the first
century church.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Ken Timmerman has been on the ground in the Nineveh plains
the location of the first century church there in Mosul. Mosul Iraq Biblical
Nineveh Islamic state has killed thousands of Christians and destroyed their
homes and businesses. This persecution of Christians today is a precursor to
the scenario for the tribulation saints who will also face murder and devastation
during the tribulation period, that’s Revelation 6:9 & Revelation 20:4-6.
Revelation 18 reveals the end time scenario for the entire
region Biblical Babylon which is modern day Iraq. These prophetic passages are
now at the time of complete fulfillment.
