ISIS

[John S]

ISIS is an Islamic group that is so extreme that even Al Qaeda has supposedly disavowed them. According to reports, they have even crucified some of their enemies. Their forces have currently conquered a large portion of Iraq. Their stated goal is to conquer Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel.
The Iraqi government has asked several countries for help, including the United States.

Would Iraq become so desperate that they would ask an enemy of their enemy for help? Could they ever ask Israel for help?

I realize that this is just speculation, but if they were to do this, that could be the precursor to forging a comprehensive Middle East peace treaty and the person who would forge it would be the antichrist.

I am not asking you to agree with this speculation but what I am asking you to do is to follow this situation to see what actually does happen.

ISIS, wasn't that a Egyptian "God"?
The down fall of Iraq is looming if no one helps. And Iran I hear is willing to "lend a hand". I feel bad we Americans lost so many troops in Iraq and were not helping now, we seemingly lost those troops for nothing.

Nobody is good but God. So why are so many humans trying to challenge this and think they are so great and there life is worth more value than others?.

Some people need to get over there self pride.

2 Corinthians 4
3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

It will not end well for ISIS.

ISIS is NOT about an Egyptian god.
The initials stand for "Islamic States of Iraq and Syria" - or something like that.

We need to watch this situation to see what, if anything, Biblical happens there.

[John S]

In my initial post, I said that they wanted to also conquer Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel.

The Islamic groups are being used by Satan to take the focus off of that nation that will and even now is setting up it's one world government of political, economic and religious power which is that of a newly established Roman Empire.

Daniel Chapter 7 was an interpretation of a dream that Nebuchadnezzar had about four nations. Within these four nations we see how Satan tries to rule through man, but the kingdom of God prevails in judgment against these nations and the nations are turned over to the people of God for eternity. Notice also where these present day places in parentheses are located. Pagan nations also were often called beast in the Old Testament, which shows us to not take some words literally, but to define the definition of the word Spiritually.


Four nations:

Babylonian Empire:

(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon.


Medo – Persian Empire:

(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.


Grecian Empire:

(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.


Roman Empire:

Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.

Aren't they trying to capture the city of Bahgdad? Which could be the city that sits near 7 hills as mentioned in end times?

YES - If they capture Baghdad, then the rest of Iraq will probably fall - and then possibly Syria - then Jordan and Lebanon - then Israel could be attacked next.

In Islam, there are 2 main denominations the Shiites, the denomination of the Iraqi government and the Sunnis, the denomination of ISIS. These 2 denominations hate each other and fight a lot. In Iraq, the Shiites are the majority and the Sunnis are the minority and have been repressed.
It is very similar to the European wars that used to be fought between the Catholics and the Protestants.
