Hi gang!  I’m keeping it short today in order to direct you to some recently-released sobering data.  Joel Rosenberg has researched and compiled information from various military and intelligence experts regarding the status of ISIS and their ambition to establish a worldwide caliphate.

As we hurtle headlong into end times, ISIS provides a picture of what the reign of the antichrist might look like.  While I am not suggesting that anyone associated with ISIS is the antichrist, their methods are certainly characteristic of the Scriptural description of beheading of Christians which, according to Revelation 20:4, will be standard operating procedure for the antichrist.

So, take some time to read Joel Rosenberg’s post entitled, Are we winning the war on ISIS & Radical Islam? The President says yes. The experts say no.  Or check out the actual Fact Sheet.  Then, spend some time in prayer focusing on:

• Protection of Christians and others in harms way in the Middle East.
• Increased faith for Christians as they endure persecution.
• Asking the Lord to thwart the evil plans of the ungodly.
• Wisdom for our nation’s leaders.
• Willingness and commitment of the US to stand strong with Israel.
• A great revival in America and around the world.

Shabbat shalom!
