Chapter 13: Religious Wars Fought in
the name of Islam’s “most merciful allah” are “Un-Righteous” Wars “Religious Wars” that are not “Virtuous” or
“Moral” and who Misuse the Name of God are “Un-Righteous
Wars.” Christian Nations and
Christians who Misuse the Name of God and Falsely Claim to be doing a Holy
Service for God when they are not – these wars are also “Un-Righteous Wars.”
And, so it is with Christians who Misuse the Name of God to
justify their “Un-Righteous” Wars. The time has Come when those who have never known either God or
His Son Christ Jesus have and will continue to kill others and think they are
Serving God. However, the manner in which God’s people die is a matter of
Deep Concern to the Lord, and He will Avenge their blood. (Revelation 6:9-11) The Lord cares deeply when His loved ones
die. Psalm 116:15 John
16:1-3 1 “I
have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith. 2 For you will be expelled from the
synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they
are doing a holy service for God. 3 This
is because they have never known the Father or me. NLT Religious Wars Fought in the name
of Islam’s “most merciful allah” are Un-Righteous Wars: History bears witness that the PLO, Hezbollah, and
Hamas justify killing Jews. During the
Lebanon Conflict, the PLO and Hezbollah justified killing soldiers in the SLA
and those Christians living in Lebanon simply because they were not Muslims –
they were infidels . Christians who kill other Christians in the
Name of God are “Un-Righteous Wars”: Vladimir Putin of Russia, the Catholic Crusades,
and the Catholic Church’s Murder of the French Huguenots are examples of
Un-Righteous Wars. Vladimir
Putin: On the other hand, as I am writing this chapter, Russia’s
leader, Vladimir Putin, a professing Christian, is attacking Christians in
the Ukraine because he believes they, like all of the West, including
America, have lost their way and that he alone is the true Armor Bearer for
all of Christianity. The
Catholic Crusades:
The Catholic Crusades is another example of Christians who killed the
Jewish people claiming they were fulfilling the will of God when it was not
the will of God. The reasons are
multifaceted; however, the Catholic Church simply wanted to take control of
Jerusalem and add to their possession of relics at Rome any and all religious
relics the Knights Templers could find. The
Catholic Church had the French Huguenots Murdered because they were
Protestants:
And, who can forget when the Spanish Conquistadors, at the request of
the Pope, killed the French Huguenots, who established the first successful
European Settlement in 1565 in present-day St. Augustine, Florida, because
the Pope and the King and Queen of Spain believed all Protestants were
infidels – yet the French Huguenots were the true Christians. Woe to those who claim to be Christians who have killed both
Jews and other Christians in the sincere belief they were doing a holy service
for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob claiming they were fulfilling the
will of God. In due time the Lord will Avenge those like the French Huguenots who have been
martyred because of Him. The Lord will
avenge the martyrs of the Wrongs that have been done to them. Those martyred don’t desire vengeance;
however, they do desire that justice should be done – that the government
ordained by God and on whose shoulders the government rests, the shoulders of
Jesus Christ, should be vindicated.
(Romans 13 and Isaiah 9) Revelation
6:9-11 9 And
when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them
that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they
held; 10 and they cried with a
loud voice, saying, How long, O sovereign
Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell upon the earth? 11 And
there was given to them, to each one a white robe; and it was said to them
that they should rest yet a little while, until both their fellow-bondmen and
their brethren, who were about to be killed as they, should be fulfilled. Darby
Bible Revelation
20:4 4 And I saw
thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the
souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account
of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his
image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they
lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years: Darby Bible For those Christians and Jews who wrongly
perished at the hands of the PLO, Hezbollah, Russia and the Catholic Church,
among others, Scripture tells us that on the day of their death, it pleased
our God to bring them to the sweet harbor of His everlasting rest. These long-tossed vessels, tossed upon the
waves of many afflictions, exchanged the sorrows of war for the joys of
eternity. Psalm 116:15 15 The LORD cares deeply when His loved ones
die. NLT We know from Psalm 116:15 as well as
other Scriptures that God is not indifferent or uncaring as to when, where
and under what circumstances each of His saints dies. Quite the contrary, the manner in which we
die is a matter of deep concern to the Lord. The Believer has many foes and even
though our foe may kill us, they shall not prevail over us, because even
death cannot separate us from the Lord’s love for us – in our deaths we are
victorious because in our deaths we are home with our Lord and Savior. (Romans 8:35-39) Romans
8:35-39 35 Can anything ever separate us
from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or
calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or
threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we
are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these
things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And
I am convinced that nothing can ever
separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor
demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even
the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in
the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever
be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus
our Lord. NLT There is no doubt that the PLO and
Hezbollah slaughtered the Christians as though they were sheep because of
their utter hatred for Christians. (Romans 8:36) It is comforting to know that just as God
is our Guide throughout life – He is our Guide even unto Death. Psalm 48:14 14 For this is God, Our God
forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death. NKJV Matthew Henry says it best: “―Let us triumph in God,
and in the assurances we have of His everlasting loving kindness. Tell this
to the generation following; transmit this truth as a sacred deposit to your
posterity, That this God, who has now done such great things for us, is our
God forever and ever; He is constant and unchangeable in His love to us and
care for us. If God be our God, He is ours
forever, not only through all the ages of time, but to eternity; for it is
the everlasting blessedness of glorified saints that God Himself will be with
them and will be their God. If He be our God, He will be our guide, our
faithful constant guide, to show us our way and to lead us in it; He will be
so, even unto death, which will be the period of our way, and will bring us
to our rest. He will lead and keep us even to
the last. He will be our guide above death
… He will so guide us as to set us
above the reach of death, so that it shall not be able to do us any real
hurt. He will be our guide beyond death
… He will conduct us safely to a
happiness on the other side death, to a life in which there shall be no more
death. If we take the Lord for our God,
He will conduct and convey us safely to death, through death, and beyond
death—down to death and up again to glory.” And, so it is with all of God’s Children. In Matthew 24:6, the Lord tells us that we are not to be
frightened or troubled because these wars must take place before the end
comes. Verse 6 also gives us hope
because those Christians who will be faced with living through a war will not
have to live in fear – they can rest in the fact that these wars, even
“un-righteous” wars, have to happen in order for Christ to return. As Christians, we can rest in the knowledge
that the Lord is in control and He will only let man go so far. Even though the Lord encourages us not to
be troubled or alarmed because of these wars, He understands our
concerns. Christ understands that even
though they believe, the faith of some may be weak because they may feel a
sentence of death within themselves and therefore be convinced they may die
an untimely death. For those who
believe but have unbelief, my prayer is that the Lord will give them the
power to overcome their unbelief.
(Mark 9:24) And by the prayers
of many on their behalf, that He will rescue and deliver them from so great a
threat of death. (2 Corinthians 1:9-11)
My prayer is that the Lord will grant them His peace, which surpasses
all understanding – a peace that will guard their hearts and minds. (Philippians 4:7) All of Hezbollah and Hamas’ “Religious Wars” fought in the name of Islam’s most merciful allah are all
“Un-righteous” wars Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas, as well
as Iran who backs them, are influenced in their hostility to Jews and
Christians by a reverence for what they believe, even though their beliefs
are erroneous as well as unrighteous, that Islam is the supreme religion, the
only virtuous, moral, and blameless religion.
Satan has Blinded the Minds of Hezbollah and Hamas as well as
all Unbelievers:
As sincere in their beliefs as they profess to be – in the eyes of God
– there is no justification of their evil conduct towards the Jews and
Christians. Satan, the god of this
age, has blinded the minds of unbelievers and while their blindness may
explain their wrong thinking towards both Jews and Christians, their blindness
is not a vindication of their sins and transgressions towards the Israelis,
all Jews, and Christians. 2 Corinthians 4:4 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of
those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the
Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who
is the exact likeness of God. NLT Woe to those like Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas who are unable to
see the glorious light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because of their
blindness. Woe to those who are under
the influence and power of the god of this world who has blinded their minds
with ignorance, error, and prejudices because they are unable to see the
Glorious Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Woe to those nations and people like Hezbollah and Hamas who
have caused and will continue to cause such sorrow and evils in the name of
allah. The International Community is trying to
persuade Israel that for there to be peace in the Middle East all Israel has
to do is give the Holy City of Jerusalem that God gave to the Israelites to
Hamas and the Palestinians as their Capital for a Palestinian State. What! Hamas’s Goal for the Obliteration
of the Jewish People Has never been a Secret Hamas’ Goal for the Genocide of
the Jewish People has never been a Secret:
Hamas’s founding documents made in the
name of the “most Merciful allah” clearly shows its intentions concerning the
genocide of the Jewish people. Yet,
upon listening to the International Community, whose minds have been blinded
by Satan, one would think that Hamas is the victim. Following are excerpts from
“Hamas Covenant 1988” – The Covenant of the Islamic
Resistance Movement” made in the name of the most merciful allah that call
for the obliteration of all Jewish people. |

Hamas
Covenant 1988 The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement 18 August 1988 In The Name Of The Most Merciful Allah "Ye are the best
nation that hath been raised up unto mankind: ye command that which is just,
and ye forbid that which is unjust, and ye believe in Allah. And if they who
have received the scriptures had believed, it had surely been the better for
them: there are believers among them, but the greater part of them are
transgressors. They shall not hurt you, unless with a slight hurt; and if
they fight against you, they shall turn their backs to you, and they shall
not be helped. They are smitten with vileness wheresoever they are found;
unless they obtain security by entering into a treaty with Allah, and a
treaty with men; and they draw on themselves indignation from Allah, and they
are afflicted with poverty. This they suffer, because they disbelieved the signs
of Allah, and slew the prophets unjustly; this, because they were rebellious,
and transgressed." (Al-Imran - verses 109-111). Israel will exist and will continue to exist until
Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr,
Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).” … “When the idea was
ripe, the seed grew and the plant struck root in the soil of reality, away
from passing emotions, and hateful haste. The Islamic Resistance Movement
emerged to carry out its role through striving for the sake of its Creator,
its arms intertwined with those of all the fighters for the liberation of
Palestine. The spirits of its fighters meet with the spirits of all the
fighters who have sacrificed their lives on the soil of Palestine, ever since
it was conquered by the companions of the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant
him salvation, and until this day. This Covenant of the
Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), clarifies its picture, reveals its
identity, outlines its stand, explains its aims, speaks about its hopes, and
calls for its support, adoption and joining its ranks. Our struggle against the Jews
is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a
step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but
one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this
vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and Allah's
victory is realised.” … "The Day of Judgement will not
come about until Moslems fight the
Jews (killing the Jews), when
the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O
Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the
Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it
is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).”
… "But the Jews will not be pleased with thee,
neither the Christians, until thou follow their religion; say, The direction of Allah
is the true direction. And verily if thou follow their desires, after the
knowledge which hath been given thee, thou shalt find no patron or protector
against Allah." (The Cow - verse 120).” … “The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion. It does not refrain
from resorting to all methods, using all evil and contemptible ways to
achieve its end. It relies greatly in its infiltration and espionage
operations on the secret organizations it gave rise to, such as the Freemasons, The Rotary
and Lions clubs, and other sabotage groups. All these organizations, whether
secret or open, work in the interest of Zionism and according to its
instructions. They aim at undermining societies, destroying values,
corrupting consciences, deteriorating character and annihilating Islam. It is
behind the drug trade and alcoholism in all its kinds so as to facilitate its
control and expansion.” … “We should not forget to
remind every Moslem that when the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they
stood on the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed that "Mohammed
is dead, and his descendants are all women." Israel, Judaism and Jews
challenge Islam and the Moslem people. "May the cowards never sleep." End

The “Lord of Heaven’s Armies that
is the God of the Armies of Israel” will Prevail over Hezbollah –
Lebanon’s Army of God. Hezbollah is Lebanon’s “Army of
God.” The Arabic name Hizballah (or Hezbollah) is
a compound word. Hizb, meaning “party
of’” and allah meaning “god” or “allah.”
Hence, Hezbollah is known as the Party of God and militarily they are
the “army of god” – albeit a false god – a god opposed to the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. The
Lord of Heaven’s Armies is the God of the Armies of Israel: Satan’s desire was and is to use those like
Hezbollah and Hamas, who he has been able to blind, for evil. Nonetheless, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies who
is the God of the Armies of Israel (1
Samuel 17:45) will use “UnRightious Wars” like the Lebanon Conflict and
Hamas’ October 7, 2023 Attack on Israel that are fought in the name of Allah
– the god of Islam – for His Kingdom purposes. Hence, Judges 3 – the Canaanite nations that
God left in the land to teach the generations of Israelites who had no
experience in battle and to test the Israelites to see whether they would
obey the Commands of the Lord He had given to their forebears. Judges 3:1-4 1 These are the nations that the LORD left in the land to test
those Israelites who had not experienced the wars of Canaan. 2 He
did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience
in battle. 3 These are the nations: the Philistines (those living
under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the
Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to
Lebo-hamath. 4 These people were left to test the Israelites—to
see whether they would obey the commands the LORD had given to their
ancestors through Moses. NLT And, that brings me to Chapter 14 and The Lord of Heaven’s
Armies is the God of the Armies of Israel. |
