Right or Left?

[GayatfootofCross]

God understands that we each carry a worldview that our own individual experiences.education,peer.family,church,politics,sexuality and the uncountable variables that form our unique  perceptions.

And but of course we will shape our end time scenarios and theology into it.

God understands us.

Whether the enemy  perceived is Republican or the Democrat.. right or left .. or straight or gay ..or plain or just Glamorous/Fabulous..  ..Theee  WorlD will   follow the beast.

Not just Californication or Murica ..

the World! 

(people/groups/politics/region/ect mostly not western/USA ideas)

 

THE WORLD!

 

No person is your Real Enemy that we Christians should be fighting

no group no sect no club no stereotype

They are all God's beloved.

 

# we Battle not with flesh and blood

When I think of religious freedom, I think of it on a worldwide basis.  It is not Catholics or Protestants; nor liberals or conservatives, that will squash religious freedom around the globe.  There is only one major force in the world that is squashing any semblance of religious freedom around the globe; and that is Islam.  In almost every country where Islam is either the state religion or form of government (in Islam it's hard to distinguish the two), Christianity and any form  of evangelism is a crime punishable by imprisonment.  It doesn't matter who's in power in the U.S., the way things are going in this world, radical Islam will be the power that eliminates religious freedom.

Ask Christians in the Middle East or North Africa where persecution is worse - there or in the U.S.  As them who is more dangerous - Catholics or Protestants, Liberals or Conservatives.  They will laugh at you and say ISIS and Al Qaeda are the most dangerous.  Radical Islam won't be satisfied until everyone remaining on the planet is a radical Muslim.  IOW, you can have religious freedom as long as you are a radical Muslim.

It is no doubt those outwardly antagonistic to disciples of Christ are a stronge force of the accuser of the brethren. However it is subterfuge that is a greater danger. Remember it was Eve who fell as a result of a lie.

 

1Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You^a shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,^b she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked......Genesis 3

He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. .....John 8

Radical Islam *aspires* to that, but it's a million miles from achieving it. They have a lot of rhetoric and a fair few weapons (it would *really help* if the Great Powers would cease pumping them into that region), but they are a tiny fraction of all Islam, and all Islam is less than 1/4 of world population. It's not going to happen.

According to Pew Research and Wikipedia, as of July there were over 1.6 billion Muslims in the world Compared to an estimated 2.2 billion Christians.  You're correct; they DO make up less than 1/4 of the world's population - like 23%.  Christians currently make up 31% of the world's population.  Let's say that radical Islam makes up that tiny fraction Muslims as you claim.  Let's say only 2% (Pew Research claims it's more like 20% - 30% that desire Sharia to be the law of the land; which means killing or blackmailing Christians and Jews - which to me is "radical").  Two percent of 1.6 billion people is 32 million people.  Do you really consider 32 million to be a "small" number?  Let's say that only 250,000 motivated organized Muslims are in the Western Europe and the U.S.  You don't think that's enough to destabilize those areas?

Add to that the fact that the population of Islam is predicted by Pew to increase by over 70% between 2010 and 2050 (an estimated population of over 2.7 billion people by 2050), while Christianity is only growing by 35% in the same time frame (an estimated 3 billion people by 2050).  That will make the numbers of Christians and Muslims in the world about equal by then.  Islam is the only major religion in the world that has specifically targeted Christians and Jews for destruction.  Think I'm overreacting?  Read the Q'ran before you say that.

The left generally speaking is tolerant of everything,  They are not likely to make any law to cause religions to take a stand like we believe.

The right is supposed to be Bible believing and are most likely to take matters into their own hands and push their preferences. 

I predict D Trump will win the election and he will push against the citizens and immigrants he doesn't like and put laws into effect that will bring all the persecution that we are anticipating with dispatch.

The end is NEAR

Obama has been insulted and disrespected for almost 8 years and manage to keep any snide remarks and controntation to a minimum.

Trump will not let go any slight and blasts or sue and intimidate as the day is long.

Trump as a World Leader can start international fights and double down on any person or group in  the U.S.with arsenal at his disposal at worst.

The only good news if he elected.. the events move quickly to Jesus soon return.

PRAISE JESUS!
