ISIS Has Apocalyptic End Of Days Vision

The Muslims fighting for ISIS (Islamic State) believe that we are in the Last Days and that Jesus is coming back.

That's interesting....because many Bible reading Christians believe the same thing!

But don't be deceived!  The Muslim Jesus is NOT the Jesus that we know, who gave us His Holy Spirit.

Today we have a top U.S. military officer warning us about ISIS and their apocalyptic visions and saying that someone is going to have to defeat them.

Hmmmm.....can we send the mighty armies of Norway and Sweden to do it?

WASHINGTON – During a recent press conference, America’s top military officer asserted that the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has an ‘apocalyptic end-of-days strategic vision’ that must be defeated by a coalition of forces.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the statements on Thursday as both he and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel discussed concerns about the group.

“This is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated,” he said.

Dempsey remarked that ISIS must be fought in Syria, but that various groups must join together to defeat the terrorist organization.

“[C]an they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria? The answer is no. That will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border,” he said, referring to the Islamic group’s takeover of parts of both Syria and Iraq. “And that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time.”

“They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded,” Hagel added. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything.”

As previously reported, Muslims believe that in the 10th century, the Islamic Mahdi—or redeemer—went into hiding, but will appear again to make all things right with the world. According to the website Answering Islam, Muslims also claim that Jesus will return as a follower of Islam and will establish the religion on the earth.

“Muslims believe that after Allah miraculously delivered Jesus from death, He was assumed into heaven alive in a similar fashion to the Biblical narrative regarding Elijah,” the site outlines. “Since then, Muslims believe, Jesus has remained with Allah and has been awaiting His opportunity to return to the earth to finish His ministry and complete His life.”

“While the Mahdi … is clearly seen as being a superior to Jesus, Jesus is still said to be a leader of the Muslim Community [upon His return],” it continues. “According to the Islamic traditions, Jesus’ primary purpose will be to oversee the institution and the enforcement of the Islamic Shariah law all over the world.”

Nadeem Walayat of the Market Oracle echoed these sentiments.

“What ISIS and virtually all Muslims anticipate is for Jesus to return on the white Eastern Minaret of Damascus (Syria) gliding in on the wings of two angels and then through much blood and carnage will convert the whole world to Islam including killing all of the Jews, break all of the crosses and live as a Muslim for 40 years, before dying and thus heralding the final countdown to Judgment Day when Muslims expect to enter paradise,” he explained.

Do you remember how the city of Berkeley, CA refused to allow a U.S. Marine recruiting station in their city....because it promoted violence?

One part of me would love to send a contingent of the Berkeley City Council over to Syria to sit down with the leaders of ISIS.  Maybe they could bring them gifts, COEXIST bumper stickers, and beg them to lay down their murderous ways and join the civilized world that abhors violence...and guns!

I'm guessing that after their heads are removed and the murders posted on YouTube that the rest of the Berkeley City Council will not be willing to be peace ambassadors any more.

I read a quote someplace that is SO TRUE that it bears repeating:  "Sometimes the only thing that will stop bad men with guns is good men with bigger guns."

I sure hope Obama doesn't fire General Dempsey for saying these things about Muslims and ISIS.

Also remember that Jesus warned us that there would be false Christs as His return neared.  Can you see how a billion Muslims will accept a MAJOR false Christ whom they believe to be Jesus?
