Muhammad’s Monsters

 A Jerusalem Post editorial this week began with this opening:

“The return of our hostages is still our sacred mission, but we must also ensure that those responsible for these atrocities are met with absolute destruction.”

All well and good, but it’s too bad the now left-leaning Post didn’t play hardball before brothers Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered.

This week also we learned that 70 Christians in Nigeria were beheaded by Muslims.

When will the Media internalize the fact that Islam is our common enemy?

The Palestinians of Gaza sunk to new depths of depravity this week when they “returned” the Bibas boys—minus their mother—in a now routine, disorienting spectacle. Locked in black coffins, with keys that didn’t fit, the Jewish children joined the child victims of the Nazis as the modern era’s most telling example that demons are real. A giant poster above the coffins depicted Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire.

Ariel and Kfir were beaten to death.

Forensic examiners in Israel revealed that ghastly fact. Now more and more voices are condemning this evil. But where were these voices in the last 50 years? Once the PLO became a professional hit squad after the Six Day War, there are innumerable examples of the Palestinian Arab mental illness in the form of murder of men, women, and children. Especially the elderly and children. If we’re asking how someone could do this to people, we’re asking the wrong question. We should be asking another question:

“What is the best way to eliminate the monsters?”

More than 20 years ago, I was part of a book project that we titled Muhammad’s Monsters. It was a scholarly look at the history of violent Islam, that is to say, Islam. We were warned that the title was too harsh. My answer was that Islam-sanctioned murder was the harsh one.  I had been led to such projects after reading Avi Lipkin’s amazing books in the 1990s. He and Steve Emerson were among the few sounding the alarm about Islam.

One wonders how and why Westerners became so delusional about Islam. I think it’s partly explained by the incremental progress Muslim agents made in America and in Europe. CAIR, with their suits and ties and elegant offices in Washington, infiltrated our political structure. The mainstream media whitewashed Islam. Even our religious institutions are corrupt and want to minimize the bloodlust of Islam.

That’s in large part why we are where we are. And make no mistake: Jewish life is cheap in the international community. Then we have the perfect storm of political and military echelons soaked in delusion.

Two months before the 10/7 massacres, INSS director Tamir Hayman, who as IDF intelligence chief asserted in 2019 that ‘Hamas is greatly deterred from war’, claimed that ‘we are not on the eve of a multi-front war a la a Yom Kippur War-style scenario’. This is the Jake Sullivan delusion/lie?. Days before Oct. 7, Biden’s national security advisor claimed the Middle East was the most stable it had been in years. Was he serious? We can’t know.

And of all the diabolical elements of Joe Biden’s corrupt life, leaving the hostages to rot in Gaza tops the list. It absolutely does. His Regime helped Hamas as much as possible.

And now the Bibas boys’ blood is on their hands, too.

We will not know for a while the full extent of Israel’s intelligence failures that allowed Gazans (not “Hamas”) to breach the border and slaughter 1,200 Jews. But we do know that it all accelerated in the early 90s with the demonic Oslo Accords. It has long been known that as soon as fearsome IDF battlefield commanders retire and cross over into politics, they lose their discernment. I don’t think we will ever know all the reasons for this—some of them are dark—but I have come across some disturbing data.

Did you know that through the 80s (Hamas was created in 1987), Israel had 4,500 tanks. Did you know that list has been whittled to 1,300?? What madness is this! There are many other military drawdown data points that are downright scary, leaving Israel vulnerable. I did not know these things until this week. But Oslo was the tipping point. This was also the era in which Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres were in power in Israel. Both men were delusional about the solutions to the scourge of Arab terrorism. They became convinced that Arafat could be reformed.

This led to Israel lowering her guard militarily. We often rightly laud the Israel Defense Forces. But now, knowing that the political trap was laid that led to the IDF complacency and vulnerability, we can see why Israel was not ready on Oct. 7. It is also now known that the IDF’s top echelon did not warn then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Even though there was still time two hours before the attacks began.

And innocents paid with their lives.

A reckoning is coming, and God is going to deliver it. The monsters are going to hell.

Turning Points :: By Daymond Duck

Christians are living in one of the most exciting times in the history of the world.

I cannot imagine a more exciting time unless it was during the days of Jesus’ birth, his preaching and miracles, His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, and the beginning of the Church.

But, in my mind, it goes without saying that our generation, more than any other generation since the days of Jesus’ birth, is seeing the stage being set for the fulfillment of many prophecies in the Bible.

On Feb. 9, 2025, following a week-long visit to the U.S., meetings with Pres. Trump and other U.S. dignitaries and officials, Israel’s Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu summed up his visit this way:

  • The visit was a historic turning point for the State of Israel.

He was referring to Trump’s unquestionable support for Israel, the fact that Trump is committed to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the fact that Trump suggested a different idea (the U.S. taking over Gaza) for the “day after” Hamas is defeated, etc.

In my words, Netanyahu said the re-election of Trump is a historic turning point for the State of Israel, Iran, and Gaza. Netanyahu said that the Iranian system of proxy forces, which had increasingly surrounded Israel from several sites, “has been broken…we smashed it a lot.”

Bible prophecy teachers have been expecting a turning point in God’s dealings with Iran for a long time (Ezek. 38-39).

Perhaps that turning point has finally arrived.

If it has, it is a clear sign that history has reached the latter years and latter days (Ezek. 38:8, 16).

(More: On Feb. 16, 2025, it was reported that an EU diplomat said Trump is seeking an agreement with Iran to shut down its nuclear weapons program before October if Iran wants to avoid a serious crisis. Trump said he prefers to make a deal with Iran that inspectors can monitor and verify than to bomb Iran.)

(More: On Feb. 17, 2025, Trump’s National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, said President Trump is absolutely serious, deadly serious when he says Iran can never have a nuke, and certainly not on President Trump’s watch; they are an irrational actor that we cannot allow to have their finger on the button.)

Here are more reasons to believe that history has reached several historic turning points.

(My opinion: People who mock Bible prophecy and say things have never changed are totally unaware of what is happening.)

One, on Feb. 14, 2025, at his swearing-in ceremony as the next Sec. of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. looked at Pres. Trump and said,

  • I genuinely believe that you are a pivotal historical figure, and you are going to transform this country at a time when we see all of the conditions of democracy now in tatters in our country.

It appears that HHS is at a turning point in America.

Two, on Feb. 12, 2025, Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, said,

  • The pace at which President Trump is issuing executive orders has some heads spinning and others exploding. In just three weeks, the White House has already reached 90 orders and executive actions.

It seems like a great war has broken out over the future of America, and our once-great nation is at a fork in the road.

Three, on Feb. 13, 2025, the Washington Post reported that a U.S intelligence report said Israel is planning an attempt to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities in the first six months of 2025.

An Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could finally trigger the long-awaited Battle of Gog and Magog.

Four, the election of Donald Trump and deportation of illegal immigrants has caused migrants that were on their way to the U.S. to turn around and head back home.

Trump is helping them by providing flights for them to go back.

(More: The New York Post recently reported that border crossings are down 90%. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said, “When you have 90% less people coming across the border, how many women aren’t being raped by the cartels? How many children aren’t drowning? How many women and children aren’t being sex trafficked in this country? President Trump is a game changer.”)

Five, concerning Trump’s plan to relocate Gaza’s citizens: on Feb. 14, 2025, it was reported that U.S. Sec. of State Marco Rubio said,

  • The future of Gaza cannot include Hamas as a political or military power.
  • If the countries in the region can’t address that issue, then Israel will have to step in, and we’ll end up back where we’ve been.

Hamas has called for worldwide demonstrations to oppose Trump’s plan.

(More: On Feb. 13, 2025, it was reported that many Gazans want to leave Gaza because there is no future for them in that place. They don’t want to live in tents and rubble for the next few years. They want to go someplace else now.)

(More: On Feb. 14, 2025, it was reported that the Arabs are scrambling to come up with a plan for Trump’s proposal to move the Gazans to Egypt and Jordan. Relocating the Gazans would be a turning point that they don’t want, but they don’t have a better plan at this time.)

(More: On Feb. 16, 2025, it was reported that a Palestinian-Arab plan will be released on Feb. 27, 2025, because they do not want the Palestinians to leave Gaza.)

Six, concerning the Two-State Solution: on Feb. 13, 2025, the speaker of Israel’s Knesset told the visiting EU Parliament president,

  • Hamas killed the so-called ‘two-state solution’ on October 7th.
  • Gaza’s educational system invites violence.
  • Trump’s plan includes the resettlement of Gazans to other countries while the war-torn coastal enclave is rebuilt, deradicalized, and turned into a developed hub at peace with Israel.

Seven, on Feb. 16, 2025, World Israel News reported that an international human rights lawyer said Trump’s plan to take over Gaza is absolutely legal provided he allows the Gazans freedom to choose to voluntarily leave to seek a better life and does not forcefully remove them.

He added that he would actually go one step further:

  • Those who insist the Gazans stay are perhaps the ones violating international law.
  • By doing so, especially while Hamas remains in power, they’re essentially forcing Gazans to stay in an active war zone and allowing them to be used as human shields by Hamas.

Eight, concerning U.S. support for Israel: on Feb. 15, following Hamas’ release of three hostages, Trump said,

  • Hamas failed to release all the hostages by 12 p.m., a deadline I imposed after the terror group threatened not to release any hostages, so the U.S. will back whatever decision Israel makes in response.

Backing whatever Israel decides to do represents a major change from the previous administration that often tried to tie Israel’s hands.

(More: During the current ceasefire, 24 hostages and more than 1,000 Palestinians have been released. Approximately 70 hostages remain in Hamas custody. Some are Israeli soldiers, most are men, and about half are believed to be dead.)

Nine, Trump ordered his administration to review each country individually to determine reciprocal tariffs.

This means the U.S. will impose the same taxes on other countries’ imports as they impose on American goods.

Trump said if they charge us, we charge them.

It is a turning point: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Ten, concerning sanctuary cities: on Feb. 12, 2025, U.S. Attorney Gen. Pam Bondi filed charges against New York state Officials (Gov. Kathy Hochul, AG Letitia James, and DMV head Mark Schroeder) for hindering the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Bondi said,

  • This is a new DOJ.
  • New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.
  • It stops.
  • It stops today.

As songwriter Bob Dylan said, “The Times They Are A-Changin.”

Eleven, concerning a possible Psa. 83 war: on Feb. 18, 2025, it was reported that the Egyptian military is gathering a large force and building military bases in the Sinai Peninsula in violation of its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.

Egypt has more than 450,000 active-duty forces, about 800,000 reserves, more than 4,000 tanks, about 1,100 aircraft (including American-made F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopters), two aircraft carriers, several submarines, and more.

Egypt is one of the nations mentioned in Psa. 83:6 (the Hagarenes, descendants of Abraham’s Egyptian concubine Hagar), and Israel has warned Egypt that it will not tolerate violations of their peace treaty.

Not all agree, but several expert prophecy teachers believe Psa. 83 is a war that precedes the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Twelve, concerning Israel expanding its borders at the end of the age: on Feb. 13, 2025, it was reported that the Trump administration will support Israel’s plan to keep Israeli troops in the buffer zone between Israel and Syria for years to come.

Israel does not want to remove its troops from the buffer zone until it has assurances from the new Syrian Government that it wants peace with Israel.

Thirteen, concerning the coming Mark of the Beast and tracking of all buying and selling starting at the middle of the Tribulation Period: on Feb. 13, 2025, The Wine Press News reported that:

  • Larry Ellison, the fourth richest man in the world and founder and CTO of the tech giant Oracle, said he wants to collect every single piece of American’s private and personal data, including DNA records, into his company’s AI datacenters to be studied, which can then know everything about us and therefore make our lives easier.

(My opinion: AI will eventually be transformed into an evil turning point in human history.)

Fourteen, concerning deceit and wickedness at the end of the age: on Feb, 18, 2025, it was reported that Elon Musk and DOGE have found that according to Social Security data, the number of U.S. citizens that are eligible to draw Social Security exceeds the population of the U.S.

Many people on the Social Security rolls were born 200-300 years ago.

Musk said,

  • Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as alive when they are definitely dead is a huge problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
