Importing Our Own Destruction
The 1,400-year-long cycle of Islamic violence is fed not by injustice or fresh new assaults on sovereignty. Rather, it pre-exists the rise of Western capitalism by several centuries, and it constitutes the heart of the Muslim world. The cycle is fueled by Muslims’ fundamental organizing principle: Islam.
There is no place on Earth where a significant population of Muslims are present that does not also live with regular Islamic-inspired violence and disruption. This applies to both Muslim enclaves in Western democracies and Muslim-dominated nations around the world. Where Islam is, violence and civil tension follow.
Are all Muslims like this? No, they aren’t. Just as all Catholics don’t abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent, there is a continuum of adherence to religious principles found in Islam. However, every religion has its universally accepted core elements – shared tenets that are foundational to the faith.
It is the “supremacist” core element of Islam (note: this is an aspect of Islam, not a perversion or interpretation) that ensures the reliability of the cycle. The battle is the aim – the jihad that cannot rest until the Earth has submitted entirely to Islam.
What does this mean for the United States? The Obama administration is pledging to accept tens of thousands of “refugees” from Syria and Iraq. Recent reports indicate that this number may rise exponentially in coming months.
The United States has already accepted hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants from around the world, and to date, their assimilation into American society is proceeding at a snail’s pace, if at all.
Warnings have been issued by European governments that terrorists (elements of ISIS and al-Qaeda) have inserted themselves into the stream of Muslim migrants currently invading Europe.
This warning, while important, misses the larger issue entirely: that the importation (en masse) of Muslims brings with it an ideology bent on the destruction of the host nation. Islam arrives not to “blend in.” It arrives to take over.
By some estimates, the composition of the “refugee” arrivals is upwards of 70% males of military age. War refugees flee their countries with wives and children, while migrants traveling for economic opportunity or other reasons typically send a father or son ahead to prepare the way for the rest of the family to follow.
There are certainly some war refugees amid the masses currently flooding Europe, but they are just as certainly a minority of the whole, and the likelihood that these Muslim men, coming from Muslim-dominated nations, intend to culturally assimilate into the societies of Europe is statistically nil.
Over the coming months, America will be asked (then told!) to accept “our share” of “refugees.” Incomprehensibly, these “refugees” will be almost entirely Muslim, despite the fact that it is the Christian and other non-Muslim residents of the region who are truly in danger, with tens of thousands already slaughtered and enslaved as a part of the current pogrom of subjugation under the heel of Islam.
It has been said that just because a group of Sunni Muslims is fleeing extermination from a group of Shia Muslims – or vice versa – that doesn’t mean that either is innocent in the conflict. Should the pursued become more numerous than the pursuers, they will immediately turn and put their former tormenters to the sword. Each flees from each other, but neither is really a “refugee.”
It is important to ask, if this is indeed a refugee crisis with hundreds of thousands fleeing their war-torn homelands, why now? The Syrian civil war has been going on for years. ISIS has been operating for nearly as long. It seems reasonable to conclude that the genesis of this migration lies elsewhere.
If you are a well-informed reader, then you have heard the term “civilizational jihad,” the process by which Muslims seek to overwhelm host nations through immigration and the exploitation of Western values of religious tolerance and liberty.
The present surge of Muslims into Europe is not a spontaneous response to deteriorating conditions in the Middle East. Instead, it is a carefully orchestrated migration to swell the populations of existing Muslim enclaves in Europe to the breaking point.
The subsequent social disruptions will have native Europeans calling for action to bring the migration to a halt by any means necessary. In the mind of the Muslim Brotherhood (at whose behest this “migration” began), it is a win-win.
Ideally, the Europeans will grow so uncomfortable with the influx of Islamists that they’ll support increased action to remove Assad, thereby restarting the “Arab Spring” and handing the Brotherhood an essential jewel for their planned caliphate crown.
At the very least, the cause of civilizational jihad will be advanced more in a matter of months than it would have progressed in decades of orderly immigration and high birth rates.
Either scenario is catastrophic for the West and is functionally equivalent to giving Typhoid Mary an unlimited EuroRail pass.
We screen new arrivals at the border for diseases because we don’t want to permit the importation of infections to which we have little or no natural immunity. In the case of Islam, we are indeed importing the infection itself, subsequently refusing to quarantine the carriers from the native population out of a misguided sense of tolerance.
Germany has committed to accepting millions of Islamic “refugees” over the next ten years – 800,000 this year alone, followed by half a million more each year thereafter – in the hopes that the infusion of new laborers can offset the ridiculously anemic birth rate of native Germans. Combine migration at such extreme levels with a government so enamored of multiculturalism that they will prosecute their own citizens for speaking against the policy, and you have the stuff of an invasion.
Under what circumstances has any nation permitted an influx of a different culture at such extreme levels and remained sovereign? I’ll give you a hint…it hasn’t ever happened. Ever.
Unless Germany reverses course, it will become a Muslim nation within 15 years, and native Germans will live under the rule of their new Muslim overlords, dhimmis in their own land.
Remember, someone asking for political asylum is not guaranteed to be deserving. Each of the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was an asylum seeker when they arrived on our shores. How’d that work out?

Eckstein Reveals Struggles and Triumphs in New Book – Israel News
In his recent biography “The Bridge Builder”, journalist Zev Chafets provides a candid and personal account of Eckstein’s early struggles within the Jewish community alongside his more recent philanthropic triumphs.
“Most Jews are not aware of the price I had to pay within my own Orthodox community,” Eckstein told Breaking Israel News in a recent telephone interview.
Through many anecdotes and personal stories, “The Bridge Builder” outlines the rejection Eckstein frequently faced from the Jewish community and his earnest desire to be accepted.
As a young rabbi in Chicago, Eckstein was thrown out of a Torah learning center where he went to study each day, for his work with Christians. In another chapter, the book describes the shame and humiliation Eckstein felt when he was not allowed to lead the prayer services at his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.
These personal setbacks, along with the description of his struggles with depression, only serve to highlight Eckstein’s phenomenal success as the founder of the Fellowship in 1983.
Since its inception, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) has raised over $1 billion from more than 1.5 million Christians around the world. It is not only the most well funded charity in Israel distributing over $100 million last year, the IFCJ is one of the largest 50 NGOs in the United States as well.
More than 6,000 envelopes arrive into their Chicago headquarters each day, according to Eckstein, filled with “sacrificial donations” averaging just over $70 each from Christians around the world.
Eckstein credits his philanthropic success to the relationships he has forged with pastors and churches on a spiritual level, pointing to the recent trip to Israel of African American church leaders organized by the IFCJ.
“My relationship with Evangelicals is not about fundraising, but about deepening their ties and bonds with the Jewish people. We focus on the spiritual dimension.”
That’s not always the case for others in the Jewish community. Eckstein expressed sadness and disappointment by the overall response of the Jewish establishment towards Christian Zionism.
“Jewish leadership doesn’t care one iota about the spiritual dimension, just about the political and financial dimension,” Eckstein told Breaking Israel News. “We are operating in a different way and on a different level. We are not just trying to use people for their money or political support. We are trying to build a relationship.”
Despite his professional accomplishments, Eckstein revealed a more personal calling when asked what Biblical passage serves as his greatest inspiration.
“If I had to pick one phrase it would be Jeremiah 31:16, ‘And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border.’ Jeremiah promises that there is hope, there is Tikvah, to be found when the Jewish people return to our borders, the Land of Israel.
“That to me has been the essence of my dream,” he related to Breaking Israel News. “That’s why our national anthem is called Hatikvah, the Hope. My life has been fulfilled when I came on aliyah 13 years ago and fulfilled my personal dream to move and live here at the age of 49.”
Eckstein pivots quickly between the personal and professional, as does “The Bridge Builder” which was meant to help establish Eckstein’s legacy and tell his side of the story.
Author Zev Chafets reveals in the introduction, “Let me be clear. This book is authorized. My advance against royalties is partly underwritten by the IFCJ. My royalties will go to the IFCJ. This is Rabbi Eckstein’s story, and much of it is told in his words.”
Notwithstanding Eckstein’s best efforts, the relationship between Jews and Evangelicals continues to experience tensions and strains. There are forces hard at work to cut the cords on the bridge that Eckstein built.
Just last week, Israel’s chief rabbis came out with a letter banning Jews from participating in the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem’s upcoming Feast of Tabernacles parade and accusing the group of seeking to convert Jews.
Yet, the bridge builder himself insists that the movement he created is a secure structure ready to tolerate the strongest headwinds.
“There has been a huge change in the Jewish community’s views of Evangelical Christians and the need and opportunity to reach out to them. When I brought Jerry Falwell to my synagogue in Chicago 35 years ago, I nearly had my head handed to me by the Jewish community. Whereas today, most Jews are totally supportive and appreciative of the support that Evangelical Christians are bringing to Israel and the Jewish people.”
Eckstein proudly recounted to Breaking Israel News, “Today there are millions of Christians around the world supporting Israel which has totally exceeded my imagination and wasn’t the case when I started.”

I Am Mourning For America –
I am mourning for America, because she is dying. I am mourning for a nation that once knew such greatness but that has now fallen to depths that were once unimaginable. I am mourning for the death and destruction that are coming, and I am mourning for a future that our children and our grandchildren will never get to see. I am mourning for a nation that has refused to listen to the warnings and that now stands on the precipice of judgment. I am mourning for games that will never be played, for books that will never be finished, for family vacations that will never get to happen and for memories that will never be made. I am mourning for the economic depression that is coming, for the horror and suffering that friends and family will endure, and for the coming death of the country where I drew my first breath.
To many, these words will seem “over the top” and overly dramatic. After all, despite the thousands of problems facing this nation, things still seem very “normal” at this moment. Well, if you don’t “get” what I am saying right now, just bookmark this page and come back to it later. Eventually it will make sense to you.
Last week, I was invited to be a guest on a major television show that is beamed into the homes of millions of people in the United States and Canada. If you get a chance to view the shows that are being aired this week, you will notice that I wore all black.
I wasn’t just making a fashion statement. I was doing it because I am in mourning for America. Unlike so many that talk about the horrible things that are ahead for this country, I actually love the United States. I truly wish that this nation had become everything that it could have become. I love the part of the country where I currently live, I love the amazing people that I am constantly meeting, and I love the things that I have been able to experience just because I am an American.
Unfortunately, everything is about to change.
There are many out there that believe that America is still a great nation. Well, great nations do not murder tens of millions of their own children. As Dr. Chuck Missler has pointed out, the most dangerous place to be in America today is in a mother’s womb.
Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, more than 56 million babies have been purposely destroyed in this country.
What does a nation that has murdered 56 million of its own children deserve?
I believe that we have just come out of a season of time when America has been shown exactly why it is about to be judged.
It is no accident that the undercover Planned Parenthood videos were released when they were. Now the entire world knows that we slaughter our babies, harvest their organs and sell them off to the highest bidder.
So what has the response of the American people been to the revelation of this great evil?
Yes, a small minority of Americans have gotten upset, but most people have been completely unmoved by this news.
Our government gives Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of dollars each year, and that isn’t going to change. Planned Parenthood is just going to keep doing what they do, and the American people are just going to go back to ignoring the unprecedented holocaust that is happening behind closed doors all over the nation.
This past summer we also witnessed what I believe is the perfect bookend for the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973. The institution of marriage was permanently altered in all 50 states, and most of the nation greatly rejoiced.
The White House was lit up with rainbow colors to honor what the Supreme Court did. The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with Noah, and in the book of Revelation there is a rainbow around the throne of God. They have taken this symbol that belongs to God, and they are using it as a symbol of their defiance.
Of course these things that I have just mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg. The truth is that evil is growing in this nation in thousands of different ways. Every year there are 20 million new cases of sexually transmitted disease in the United States, we have the highest divorce rate in the entire industrialized world, and nearly one out of every five American women say that they have been raped at some point in their lives. In the United States today, there are 60 million people that abuse alcohol and there are 22 million people that use illegal drugs. America produces more pornography than the rest of the world combined, and surveys have found that Christian men use it at just about the same rate as everyone else.
I will not be publishing an article Wednesday. In a few hours, Yom Kippur will begin where I live. It is the most solemn of all the holidays described in the Bible, and it is a time of repentance. I will be praying for myself, my family, my community and my nation.
If America had repented as a nation and had turned from her wicked ways, we would not have to go through the things that we are about to go through.
I believe that the time of grace that the United States has been given to repent is ending.
I know that this is very different from my usual format. Is it okay if I just share what is on my heart from time to time? On Thursday I will get back to sharing the facts, figures and hard information that you all have come to expect from me. But today when I woke up I just felt that I should share these things with you.
Very shortly, things are going to start changing in a major way.
America is dying, and the hardest times that any of us have ever seen are right in front of us.

Why We Worship Jesus | The Soup of Life by Jim Schicatano

Why We Worship Jesus
As a Christian, I sometimes wonder if fellow Christians understand why we worship Jesus. It is true that we all recognize Jesus as the Messiah, believe that He was part of the Trinity, and is God. However, over the years, I have learned that people emphasize different characteristics and qualities of Jesus’ life. Some accentuate His terrible suffering, His sagacious parables, or even His spectacular miracles. Yet, there are definitive reasons we worship Jesus.
First, it had nothing to do with His suffering. I hear people pray “by the stripes of Jesus” and “through His bloodshed.” There is no doubt that few people would voluntarily suffer the way Jesus chose. Yet, through the ages, people have also suffered just as much. Torture is a dreadful part of human history. Tragically, people have always committed atrocities against others. Jesus certainly suffered, but his suffering was not unique.
We also do not worship Him for His words. Jesus was undoubtedly a charismatic speaker. Nevertheless, He is not alone in that regard either. Throughout history, many people have been able to deliver articulate, moving, and powerful messages. So, while we can admire His charismatic speaking and profound parables, they are not something that particularly deserves our worship.
Nor was it His miracles. The New Testament records many of Jesus’s miracles. Yet, he is not alone in miracle-working either. Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha are just a few Biblical icons who accomplished miraculous feats. In addition, Elijah, Elisha, and Peter brought back people who had died.
It was also not His actions. Jesus gave selflessly of Himself, and demonstrated love, sacrifice, compassion, and mercy. Yet, others have also devoted their lives to the service of others in much the same way. And they were not necessarily Christian.
It was not even his birth. Although Christmas is arguably Christian’s favorite holiday, it is not necessarily the reason we worship Jesus. We should certainly remember and celebrate His birth. However, children are born all the time, so His birth was not unique. Of course, His conception was indeed a miracle.
While all of these features are certainly worthy of our respect and honor, none is unique in history.
Why then do we worship Jesus? There are two primary reasons.
First, let’s go back to first century Judea. That was a period of animal sacrifices, where animals were slaughtered to atone for personal sins. They believed that the healthiest, finest animals made the best sacrifice. In addition, a common animal used was the lamb.
John the Baptist referred to Jesus as the “lamb of God.” This was God’s sacrifice, given to atone for the sins of the world. Jesus was the first and only person said to live a life without sin – the perfect lamb. His voluntary death was the purest offering possible, and it exceeded anyone else’s sacrifice.
Secondly, not only was Jesus the perfect sacrifice, but He also defeated death through His resurrection. His resurrection demonstrated that He was whom He claimed, and it allowed God the Father to embrace Him as the perfect sacrifice. In addition, all of humanity can take part in this atonement by accepting Jesus as Lord, and believing in the Resurrection. No event in human history can match the significance of His resurrection.
There are numerous reasons to admire and honor Jesus. He certainly suffered, spoke profoundly and with eloquence, performed miracles, and led a selfless life. However, we worship Him because He sacrificed His life for the atonement of our sins. Then He symbolically demonstrated that not even physical death could prevent Him from completing His mission – which was paying the price for the sins of humanity.
