And there went out another horse that was red: and
power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace
from the earth, and that they should kill one another:
and there was given unto him a great sword.
Revelation 6:4
Several days ago, I heard a few of the Muslim prisoners talking about waiting for something to happen...

Revelation 6:4
Several days ago, I heard a few of the Muslim prisoners talking about waiting for something to happen...
It was the way this was said which caused my own antennas to go up and an inner alarm to sound.
Then a short while later, after I watched each of these men go their separate ways, I approached the one who stayed near me. It so happened that I have known this man for many years. So, I asked him about the conversation he just had with his friends.
Since he and I had had many discussions about our differing faiths, he did not hesitate to tell me that he believes that one day some kind of "divine sign" will be given to Muslims worldwide announcing that the time has arrived for a "holy war" to begin. That it would be a war of cleansing in which all Allah's enemies will be given the chance to embrace faith in this god, or be killed.
I did not ask him to explain his concept of 'Jihad' further because I already knew about it. The holy Bible makes it clear that, when the period of God's judgments are to be unleashed, that "peace" will be taken from the earth, and a spirit of violence will go forth. It will be a time of anarchy.
I believe this is destined to happen because, in the sixth chapter of the book of Revelation, these judgments are pronounced. It will be a time of God's wrath against all the ungodly deeds wicked men have done; they will refuse to repent. And as a Being of justice, the Lord will have no recourse but to punish wrongdoing.
Most of the world is unaware of this. Many do not understand these things, even though the Scriptures clearly reveal what will happen during the final years of human government.
Meanwhile, however, the Lord Jesus Christ is offering salvation and forgiveness of sin to all who place their faith in Him. But for those who repeatedly reject His offer of mercy, God is left with no choice but to render punishment.
Furthermore, the Bible also says that this future time of judgment and trouble will begin suddenly. "For as a snare shall it come on all of them that dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:35).
Whether or not a Muslim inspired Jihad will be a part of this final onslaught of violence and terror, I do not know. But it is, from what is visible today, a real possibility. May God have mercy on America.
