IN the NEWS - Christians in Algeria Go Underground

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20

"Following Algeria’s closure of nearly all evangelical churches in waves of repression that began in 2017, Christians have been forced underground in what they describe as an internal exile, sources said.

Christians in the 99-percent Muslim country gather discreetly in

homes, garages or under olive trees, isolating many who are deprived of regular spiritual guidance. Some turn to the internet and social media, where heresies proliferate, thus fostering internal divisions, the spread of false teaching and the rise of conflicts.

Despite such challenges, some Christians express gratitude to God, viewing this period as a spiritual cleansing to build stronger and more mature churches.

One church leader continues to serve by visiting families in various villages to offer moral and spiritual support. Like all pastors mentioned in this story, his name cannot be published for security reasons." Morning News

IN the NEWS - Father in Uganda Beaten by Muslim Sons for Accepting Christ

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Matthew 5:11

"A 52-year-old Christian in eastern Uganda was recovering from injuries after his Muslim sons attacked him for leaving Islam, sources said.
In Nakalama village, Iganga Town Council, Kibirige Abumusa returned home on Aug. 9 after an extended stay in Jinja City, where he had put his faith in Christ on June 1. One of his adult sons, 28-year-old Kibirige Budallah, confronted him about his conversion, said neighbor and eyewitness Alice Naigaga.
Abumusa converted to Christianity after attending an open-air evangelistic event organized by Pastor Zakalia Sserwada of Evangel Church in Jinja City.

Abumusa’s son, Budallah, had learned about his conversion from Imam Kisige Musitafa of Jinja mosque, which Abumusa had previously attended. The imam had accompanied Abumusa to the evangelistic event, according to the friend. Immediately after Abumusa’s conversion, the imam informed Budallah, the source said.
Budallah questioned his father upon his return about abandoning Islam, calling him a kafir (infidel), and told him that he did not deserve to live because of his decision to leave Islam, Naigaga said. Budallah struck Abumusa with a stick, and his four other sons joined in beating him, said Naigaga, who took photographs of the attack from a distance before calling for neighborhood help.
By the time neighbors arrived, Abumusa was weak, bleeding from the nose and had wounds on his hands, legs and back, she said.
Naigaga said she heard Budallah referring to Islamic teachings concerning Muslims who leave Islam and claiming that killing such persons would earn the killer paradise.
Abumusa was taken to Iganga Hospital, where he received treatment for about a week. After being discharged, he took refuge at a friend’s house in another village, where he was continuing to recover.
Abumusa said he has not reported the assault to police, fearing his sons could further endanger him." MorningNews

Christ's way vs. Muslim way of Forgiveness

Christ's Way

If we confess our sins, 

He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

....and from Jesus Christ, 

....the firstborn from the dead, 

To Him who loves us and has washed us 

from our sins by His blood,...

Islam's Way

"Muslim object of VENERATION, built into the eastern wall of the Kaʿbah (small shrine within the Great Mosque of Mecca) and probably dating from the pre-Islamic religion of the Arabs. 

It now consists of three large pieces and some fragments, surrounded by a stone ring and held together with a silver band. 

According to popular Islamic legend, the stone was given to Adam on his fall from paradise and was originally white but has become black by absorbing the sins of the thousands of pilgrims who have kissed and touched it. 

In 930 it was carried away by the fanatics of the Qarmatian sect and held for ransom for about 20 years."

IN the NEWS - "Merry Christmas" from allah

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. John 15:18

"Morning Star News noted that Muslims “from outside Jayasampurna village, Serang Baru Sub-District, Bekasi Regency near Jakarta blocked the congregation of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant Church (Huria Kristen Batak Protestant, HKBP) from celebrating Christmas at a prayer post near the Green Cikarang housing complex.”

Local cops and a goggle-eyed crowd watched as “dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form the human chain, making anti-Christian comments and shouting the jihadist slogan ‘Allahu Akbar [God is Greatest).’” 

One of the most mistranslated phrases in the entire world, “Allahu akbar” does not actually mean “God is greatest,” or the difficult-to-contest alternative “God is great,” which is the establishment media’s favorite way of misrepresenting what is actually being said.

“Allahu akbar” really means “Allah is greater,” that is, the deity of Islam is superior to, and has won a victory over, whatever God the infidels may be worshiping at any particular time or place. In Jayasampurna village, the Muslims were proclaiming that Allah had defeated Christianity, and thus they were in the right to prevent the Christians from engaging in their false worship.

The Qur’an tells Muslims that they are the instruments of Allah’s wrath, through whom he punishes the unbelievers: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers. And he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-5)

Consequently, the Muslims who were blocking the door to the church likely thought of themselves as committing a righteous act, allowing Allah to use them to punish the wayward Christians. And punish they did: “The Muslims held back and pushed members of the church as they struggled to make their way to prayer post for Christmas services.” PJMedia

Q: If not, then why would a place claiming to be a "Holy City" of the Father God do it on earth?

A: Because they are neither a Holy City of the Father God on earth NOR guided by His Spirit.

Exult not like the peoples;

Hosea 9:1 ESV

"A dedicated prayer room for Muslims has reportedly been opened inside the 500-year-old Vatican Apostolic Library in Rome after a plea for the separate, carpeted space was made by visiting Islamic scholars.
The Catholic Herald reports Fr. Giacomo Cardinali, Vice Prefect, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that

Muslim academics had requested an area in which to pray, and the library had agreed. “Some Muslim scholars have asked us for a room with a carpet for praying and we have given it to them,” he said.
In the interview, Cardinali referred to the library’s modern collections: about 80,000 manuscripts, 50,000 archival items, nearly two million printed books, and hundreds of thousands of coins, medals, engravings, and prints.
The library, located within Vatican City, traces its origins to Pope Nicholas V in 1451 and has since served as one of the world’s leading repositories of Christian and human knowledge.

The opportunity given by the Vatican for Muslims to pray in their own designated area is at odds with Islam’s own strictures

 for its holy city.

Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: 1 Samuel 24:13

"German prosecutors announced in a statement Wednesday that authorities have apprehended three suspected Hamas members who were allegedly procuring weapons "for assassinations targeting Israeli or Jewish institutions."

The trio has been charged with membership in a foreign terrorist organization and preparing an act of violence endangering the state, in a somewhat rare case, given Hamas does not tend to operate transnationally - especially in moments of direct, intensified war with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
However, the three - so far only identified by the first names and last initials, are not Palestinian. Two are said to be German, while the third was born in Lebanon. They are set to appear before a judge on Thursday.
The men identified as Abed Al G, Wael F M and Ahmad I were arrested in Berlin, which notably came a day before Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
CNN has cited a prosecutor statement as saying, "Since at least the summer of 2025 the three have been involved in procuring firearms and ammunition" for Hamas.
Police found "various weapons, including an AK 47 assault rifle and several pistols, and a considerable amount of ammunition." during raids on their homes during the arrest."

SDA HISTORY: Our Church Pioneers Reaction to the Quran

Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:32

"When persons compare the Koran with the Bible, and place Mohomet on an equality with Christ, we are constrained to think that they have never read the Koran (perhaps not the Bible), and have

never inquired into the principles of the divine Government, nor sought to find a way to save fallen humanity, and vindicate divine justice. 

We have read the Koran with this thought in mind, 

--desiring to find there these great principles and to give it credit for them if found; 

--but did not find them. 

And from our reading of it, we should full sooner place the story of “Jack the Giant Killer” on a level with the American Encyclopedia, than place the Koran on a level with the Bible."

Papal Notes - Mohammedans to Bend The Knee Soon?

"Muslim Network TV reported on February 12, 2025, that leaders of the religion of Islam were inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Fratelli Tutti and approached the Pope, urging him to meet with them to strengthen their relationship.
Muslim Network TV reported the following:
• “Chems-Eddine Hafiz, the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, has extended a proposal to Pope Francis for an interfaith meeting

between Christians and Muslims in Paris later this year, aimed at promoting dialogue and unity.” 
• “The suggestion was made during an audience at Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican, where Hafiz met with the Pope alongside a delegation from the European Coordination Council AMMALE—Alliance of Mosques, Associations, and Muslim Leaders.” 
• “Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis’ encyclical Fratelli Tutti, which advocates for fraternity and justice, Hafiz’s proposal seeks to strengthen the relationship between the two religious communities through meaningful conversation.” 
• “During their discussion, Hafiz presented a message emphasizing the need for Christians and Muslims in Europe to unite in fraternity, sharing a vision for an international interreligious gathering in Paris in 2025.” 
• “In his letter to Pope Francis, Hafiz reflected on the centuries of shared history between Christianity and Islam, emphasizing that despite differences, both communities are united by a divine origin.”
• “Hafiz praised Pope Francis’s efforts in combating prejudice, noting his commitment to promoting interfaith unity through ongoing dialogue with Muslim leaders.”
• “The proposed gathering in Paris shall be a significant step towards furthering interreligious understanding and collaboration between the two faiths in Europe.”

During the Catholic Crusades (1095-1492), Rome was unable to conquer the Mohammedans. Yet according to Bible prophecy, even this power must be brought into subjugation. For we read:
“And all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3.

Here we see Muslim religious leaders coming together to pay respect to Pope Francis as a viable, legitimate, unifying authority. 

Under the reign of the Antichrist, 

all powers must be brought to the knee of Rome."

IN the NEWS - Shia Suicide (human sacrifice) CULT: Nothing New Under the Sun

The thing that hath been, 

it is that which shall be; 

and that which is done is that which shall be done: 

and there is no new thing under the sun. 

Ecclesiastes 1:9

"Iraq..... the country and prompting a fierce state crackdown, is a religious group that practices a system of lottery-based suicide. The Allahiyah movement, also known as the Qurban ("sacrifice") group, is thought to have formed in Basra and Dhi Qar in early 2020 and has as many as 2,500 adherents..... the head of the movement is a cleric named Abdul Ali Munim al-Hasani, currently residing in the city of Mashhad in Iran.

Gatherings, posted on social media, show large groups of men dancing to loud electronic music and chanting slogans of sacrifice to Ali bin Abi Talib, cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

That began to change in 2021, when the first reports emerged of young men associated with the group hanging themselves in Husseiniyahs, buildings designed for Shia religious, spiritual and social gatherings.

The movement reportedly splintered from the followers of Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr, an influential Shia cleric whose son Muqtada al-Sadr is one of the most powerful figures in Iraq. Muqtada al-Sadr has, however, publicly disavowed the Allahiyah movement as "extremists" and warned against young people being attracted to it.

Adherents believe that Ali is a mystical, divine figure, akin to Jesus in Christianity.
"We believe that Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, is God incarnate on Earth, and that sacrifices must be offered to him in order to gain his satisfaction and forgiveness," a member of the Qurban group told HuffPost Iraq in June.....on June 16 security forces arrested an official of the movement in Dhi Qar Governorate while he was in the eastern Hamza district on his way to Karbala governorate. After being interrogated he confessed to having killed two family members as "sacrifices".

In May, four different Allahiyah followers were involved in suicide incidents across Dhi Qar, including a 15-year-old boy who reportedly died after hanging himself with electrical wire.

According to Al Sumaria News, in recent months Iraqi authorities have recorded at least 25 suicide cases among the ranks of the Qurban group. An operation has been launched to suppress the group's activities, leading to the arrest of many of its members.

Following the killings in Dhi Qar, the governorate's police arrested a further six members of the group, who they said had convinced three of their followers to kill themselves."

Papal Notes - Francis, Lady Madonna & Islam

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.... Exodus 20:3

"Pope Francis paid a visit to detainees at Verona’s Montorio Prison, and upon bestowing an icon of the Madonna and Child upon the apparently multi-faith jail, he stated to applause that “the figure of Mary is a figure common to both Christianity and Islam. She is a

common figure; she unites us all.”

If this seems innocuous, it also falls in line with the Vatican’s many attempts to convince Catholics that Islam is somehow a “sister faith,” when, in fact, Islam appropriates the names and sacred auras of Biblical figures, but then recasts them with completely different, anti-Biblical attributes.

In early 2021, for example, the Marian academy in Rome launched a 10-week webinar series titled “Mary, a model for faith and life for Christianity and Islam” in collaboration with the Grand Mosque of Rome and the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy.

Based on his belief that Mary is “a Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman,” Catholic priest, Fr. Gian Matteo Roggio, organizer of the Muslim-Catholic initiative, said he hoped to use “Our Lady” as a model of “open borders” between religious and multicultural worlds." Lifesite

IN the NEWS - Islam begins wondering after the Beast

"According to an article published by NOLA Media Group on April 21, 2024, the Muslim world has adopted their own version of Laudato Si’ called “Al-Mizan,” which, according to the Roman

Catholic leaders, is in line with and a counterpart to the Pope’s encyclical. Truly, the world is coming together as one.

NOLA Media Group published the following:
• “When Pope Francis released his encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, in 2015, Muslims, Hindus and other faith leaders joined Christians in dialogues in response to the pontiff’s powerful call to tend to climate change as a matter of faith. Now, nine years later, Islamic leaders have released a counterpart to the Vatican document.”
• “The document was drafted by scholars and members of leading Islamic organizations, including the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences and Uskudar University in Istanbul.”
• “Christian leaders said the document struck a balance between the Islamic worldview and the Christian perspective, particularly that of the Catholic Church.”
• “In many ways, ‘Al-Mizan’ is the Islamic equivalent to ‘Laudato Si’,’ the encyclical of Pope Francis, and more recently, the ‘Laudate Deum,’ a follow-up document,” Catholic Archbishop Hubertus van Megen, the apostolic nuncio in Kenya and South Sudan, told those gathered for the announcement. ‘Al-Mizan,’ although building entirely on its own profound Islamic tradition, resonates in many ways the teachings of ‘Laudato Si’.”
• “In fact, I would like to invite all of you to read them in tandem, as they raise together a harmonious song of praise, who is the creator of the universe,” said van Megen.”

Laudato Si’ is the foundation for the coming solidarity between Islam and Catholicism. 

Rome’s common ground philosophy, as defined in Laudato Si’, is

what binds even the Protestant world to her. 

As Rome’s power and influence grows around the world, she will soon be able to implement any political or economic strategy that furthers her goals and aspirations. 

Rome is positioning herself to be the main negotiator and mediator on social and political issues, above all others. This is exactly what the prophecy predicts.
