By DAVID LAZARUS, ISRAELTODAY—
It looked like a chilling scene from a Last Days, anti-Christ-takes-over-the-world disaster movie. Hundreds of Muslims take over America’s most notable church, prostrate on their prayer rugs as their unified chant echoes out in full volume: “There is only one god, he begets not and I bear witness that Muhammad is His only servant and Apostle.”
Only this was not a movie. This was the scene, last Friday, for the first time in history, at the iconic National Cathedral in Washington, where orthodox Muslim clerics were invited to lead an Islamic prayer service. A congregation of hundreds were lead by an Imam in declaring that “god has no son, that Jesus Christ cannot be his son, and that there is no god like Allah.”
Only a single middle-age woman jumped up in the middle of the service and shouted, “America was founded on Christian principles. . . . Leave our church alone!” She was escorted quickly out of the church by security guards.
The National Cathedral in Washington, DC has been an extremely important symbol of the Christian roots of the United States. The cathedral was designated by Congress as America’s “National House of Prayer.” The church has hosted a number of inaugural presidential prayer services, including Franklin Roosevelt and both presidents Bush.
The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, took to Facebook in reaciton to the Muslim prayer service:
“The National Cathedral in Washington, DC–one of the most prominent Episcopal churches in America–will host a Muslim prayer service to Allah. It’s sad to see a church open its doors to the worship of anything other than the One True God of the Bible, who sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to earth to save us from our sins. Jesus was clear when He said, ‘I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’ (John 14:6).”
As of this writing, 80,000 people had “liked” Graham’s post.
The Islamic service at the cathedral was ostensibly intended to promote interfaith dialogue. Its organizers said that they hoped the service would “help correct some Americans’ misperceptions of Muslims as extremists and reinforce tolerance among faiths.”
However, it is hard to understand how a Christian church opening its sanctuary for Islamic prayers that renonce Jesus Christ contributes to interfaith tolerance. Muslims would never allow a Christian to preach the Gospel in a mosque. Palestinian Muslims continue to ban all Jews and Christians from praying at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It would appear that “interfaith dialogue and tolerance” are just more code words calling for Muslims to rise up and conquer.
The Washington Post reported that the Islamic prayer service was closed to the public because of security concerns. Armed guards checked every person and every bag of those in attendance.
Islam is growing rapidly around the world, and is now the third-largest religion in the United States, behind Christianity and Judaism, with an estimated 2.6 million American Muslim citizens.
“Tolerance” is shown to everyone EXCEPT Christians. I would call that conditional tolerance. Also, seems that Muslims are tolerant as long as you are Muslim… if not, they just be-head you.
Anything that tries to come above the Almight God and His Son, Yeshua Jesus Christ the Messiah needs to be told to leave. They are not welcomed.
We are “the frog in the boiling water.” A little slow and gradual raising of the temperature’s water, and the frog slowly “adjusts”–and over a period of time, the water has heated sufficiently to a rolling boil, and the “adjusted” frog is at the point of no return as the scalding water does its job. Our country is under “test-runs” by Muslims…to shove the Islamic agenda down our throat….over time, one act at a time. They aren’t meeting any resistance from our country and its officials, so that makes them even bolder in their next act, and the next, and on and on….until suddenly we will wake up one morning and find ourselves at the point of no return: where we will be arrested for speaking out against, or (perhaps) even *thinking* against Islam in any way. And the snowball will have rolled down the hill far enough and long enough that it is too big to stop. A little here….a little there, and the goal has been reached. And no matter how peace-loving and “godly” a Muslim may sound or appear, if they are a true Muslim, they know that their belief and interpretation of the end-times, according to their Koran, includes world-domination, with Islam reigning supreme as the only true religion. It will destroy all other religions and individuals who do not verbally agree that “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.” That’s their agenda, even as they are peacefully bowing on their rugs in our churches, attempting to “condition” us and show us otherwise. The Sleeping Giant (Christians And The True Body Of Jesus Christ) must rise up as ONE, and pray for our country and its leaders, as never before, and boldly speak out for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ (the Only Way to the One True God). “Greater is He that is in US, than he that is in the world.”
We ,as christians,must never forget,that Christ is in control of everything ,not Muslims,or any other radical group,He will have the last say!”Greater is He that is in me,than He that is in the world”1 John:4:4. Remember,that we,as true believers,are covered with Christs’ blood.& therefore under the protection of our One & only God!!Isaiah 55:8 says:”For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways,My ways”,says the Lord,& lastly,Romans 8:28 says:All things work together for good,to those who love God,& are called according to His purpose!Please don’t allow the enemy to steal your joy,if you declare yourself,as a true believer!!!
Those that have allowed this to happen are irresponsible trustees and need to be removed from their position and stripped of any power, and replaced with a knowledgable realistic person with some common sense. Muslims should never be invited to do harm like this ever again, anywhere.
Pull your head out of the sand and wake up people!
What’s next invite the muslims to do the prayer before the Super Bowl?
Galatians 1:8-10King James Version (KJV)
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
It seems we are crucifying our Savior and Lord, Yeshua our Messiah, all over again by allowing this intolerable type of false worship.
At the name of Jesus Christ , every knee will bow !
At the name of Jesus every knee will bow. Phil. 2:9-11
What has this nation come to ? ?…Is there no sanity left..what Christian demonination or church would allow something like this…it makes no sense…If you are a Christian church you believe in Jesus/Yeshua so how can any rational thinking person in authority allow Muslims who do not acknowledge Yeshua as the son of God to dare enter a Christian church to pray in the first place…what do we as a nation say to Yeshua when we stand before Him one day…what do we say to Him as individuals if we do not take a stand and passivelly allow such a thing to happen….someone needs to be held accountable…it’s time for the sleeping giant to arouse itself…we should all be out there protesting and voicing our discontent over thsi incidednt…seriouslly making our voices heard until someone finally listens.
This is another sign that we are flying headlong into the last of the last days…. We have a Kenyan National Muslim in the White House who is as Anti-Christ as any cleric or Imam..
We have stood by silently as the radical homosexual agenda has been rammed down our throats, our so-called first lady publicly announces that partial-birth abortion is a legitimate medical procedure, God and Jesus Christ are removed from all public areas, etc… Meanwhile, the ridiculousness of Islam is being allowed everywhere under the guise of political correctness. Jesus said “accept me and live forever” Mohammed said “accept Islam or be murdered” Mohammed was a murdering pedophile rapist who received the Koran from a demonic voice, but he was an unwitting pawn, unlike Jay-z, Beyonce, and all those who knowingly traded their souls and lives for fame and fortune. Look around – satan is no longer hiding out – his time is short and he wants to take as many as he can to hell with him –
Jesus warned that in the last days, there would be a falling away. It is here. Jesus also warned that there would be many apostates. When you invite a false god into your sanctuary, that is apostasy and sacrilegious. This should not be tolerated by Christians. Islam is a false religion whose worshippers hate Jesus Christ and deny that He is the Son of God, was crucified, and resurrected. Jesus has called believers out of the world, not to join in with the world. Shame on whomever made this horrible decision at the National Cathedral. God will certainly hold him or her accountable on judgment day.
Tolerance is accepted to everyone except we as Christians, because we have the truth
and these people in this world do not want the truth. I say come Lord Jesus come!
Galatians 1:8-12 KJV
[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. [10] For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. [11] But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. [12] For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it , but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Christian brothers and sisters it is time to awake and choose ye this day who you will serve.
Isaiah 52:1 KJV
[1] Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Our voice of the Truth is more powerful, more knowledgeable, and more seeing. TRUTH demands an audience!!!
My big question is, how can a reverend and Church leader and denomination be a party to this? I expect politicians to be politicians, even some of them to be traitors, but God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit gave us life. Jesus died to bring us to Him, and His is the only name under Heaven by which we must be saved.
Holding this ‘prayer service’ on Nov. 14trh 2014 was not just a slap in the face of Christianity, it was a declaration that Islam has now reclaimed it’s dominance over Christianity. THIS WAS AN ANNIVERSARY! You see, on November 14th 1914 Sheik Uru (phonetic spelling) Islam the leader of the Turkish Caliphate declared dominance over Christianity during WW1. By taking over the Washington National Cathedral on the anniversary of this outrage & declaring that there was no god but allah & that he had no offspring in front of the Cross of Christ they were declaring that they now claimed our National Cathedral for Islam. Fools such as these church leaders who allow this outrage were too foolish to see this and I can only pray that solid Christians will remove them from control of our National Cathedral and state the truth that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD & HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER” as is stated in our Bible! We are Judea Christianity and our Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea not in some desert cave in Arabia.
Just when do we show them the way home since they do no care or respect the beliefs of others..
Praise God from whom all blessings flow May the TRUTH prevail. AND demons be cast aside and BURNED in the fire of HELL .
Praise GOD from whom ALL blessings flow. Christ WILL prevail. GOD WILL see to it in due time. AJM
