To you the glory, King of kings

To you the glory, KING OF KINGS

You, Lord, the most glorious of beings that descended from Heaven to Earth, I praise and ask you to bless all the children of our Universal Father, both Muslims and Christians.

We all need your light, Lord, some because they still do not know you and need to be saved by you, and others because the greatest of spiritual battles is approaching.

The time is near. Give us strength to follow you, Lord.

"Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed Nomini Tuo da Gloriam"

(Not for us, Lord, not for us, but for the Glory of Your Name).

"The Bible tells us that at the end of the dispensation Jesus will return and will be the spiritual head of a planetary government for the next thousand years. The Islamic scatological traditions, surprisingly, also say that Jesus will return in that final time. But this Jesus of whom they speak, according to the Qur’an, is a Jesus who did not die on the cross and therefore did not rise but was caught up in physical body to Allah. They say that Allah deceived men to save Jesus, causing another person to be crucified in his place. Some Muslims believe that this other man who was crucified would have been Judas.

This Jesus whom Muslims believe will return, will come to be a follower of the Islamic Mahdi. This Jesus will fulfill a very specific role: he will come to declare that he is not Son of God, that God has no children, and that this Christian principle is a huge “polytheistic” blasphemy against God. He will also come to crush the crosses, and will require everyone to convert to Islam. Those who do not want to convert to Islam will be killed by Jesus himself. Do you remember how the Beast of Revelation kills those who have not received its mark? Do you remember how those who did not want to receive the Bismillah brand (“in the name of Allah”) will be martyred?

This inverted mirroring between Islamic eschatology and Christian eschatology has astounding aspects so that if we are to try and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to evidence, we are not allowed to do so because of so many details and the overwhelming obvious correlations. See, for example, also the following intersection of both eschatologies. In one of Sahih Al-Bukhari’s Hadiths (which is considered to be the most reliable source in all traditions about Muhammad’s sayings), the chronicler recorded that Muhammad said:

“The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).”[1]

In the Bible we know who this “King of kings” is. This title is used in the Bible only referring to the highest of beings that passed through the Earth, not the vilest. This being is Jesus, and this title is used referring precisely to a time when Jesus will come to the judgment of the age at the end of the dispensation. See the confirmations in Revelation 19:

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

No wonder then that Allah considers this “King of kings” the vilest of men, since it is this “King of kings” that the Bible declares will be victorious against the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet:

19 Then I saw the beast [A. N.- The new Islamic Caliphate] and the kings of the earth [A. N.- Sovereigns of Islamic nations] and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army [A. N.- Jesus and his angels].

20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet [A. N.- The Antichrist Caliph] who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. […]

Also in chapter 17, again the angel who brought the Book of Revelation to John identifies the “King of kings,” when he speaks of those “sovereigns of Islamic nations”:

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.

13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast [A. N.- They will unify under the command of one single Caliph, regardless of them being Sunni or Shiite].

14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings [A. N.- In Arabic Malik Al-Amlak] —and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

What does the reader think about this? Does it or does it not seem like the Dragon used biblical prophecies that surely worried him so much that he tried to turn them upside down to confuse men?

Understand that this conclusion is by no means a demonization of Muslims, but rather an alert to Islamic ideology. I repeat, do not confuse the denunciation of an ideology with attacking people for their beliefs. The many indications that Islamic ideology has been equipped since its creation with prerogatives that serve to totally refute the revelations of Jesus should lead us to seriously consider whether, in its genesis, Islam has not been created (or misrepresented) by the “ruler of the kingdom of the air”[2] precisely to try to overturn the liberating revelations that Jesus brought to the world. Among them the revelation that God is our Father and that, being his beloved children, we are all brothers of each other, regardless of our religious beliefs.

All the numerous elements I have mentioned so far, from Islamic, Christian, and Jewish sources, reinforce each other and help us understand why Islamism foments so much violence in the world and why it is the only religion that has as its foundation the persecution and elimination of all other religions.

Muslims are not to be blamed for this, though. Had we been born in an Islamic country we would have the same beliefs and the same range of reactions and attitudes as our Muslim brothers and sisters do.

Christians have an obligation to love Muslims. There is no justification or argument, in the light of the example bequeathed by Jesus, for a Christian to hate Muslims for the sake of them being Muslims, or for any other reason, in fact.

May we Christians never forget the experience of Saul of Tarsus, the apostle Paul. He was involved in the death of Christians, with direct responsibility for these crimes. But he did so because he sincerely believed that in this way he was doing a high service to the cause of God. Until Jesus freed him from this blindness.

Well, among the most fundamentalists of Muslims, there are many who are sincere before God. They are only being zealous and obedient to what they believe to be the will of God when they stand against Christianity and other religions and when they persecute believers of other religions, as they were erroneously taught from the cradle and as it is commanded to them in their sacred writings.

Jesus had already warned us: “the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.”[3]

Now this warning of Jesus could not be more exact at this time, for this is one of the most basic foundations of Islam: for Muslims it is a terrible blasphemy to say that God is our Father and that Jesus is Son of God. The punishment for this blasphemy, according to the Sharia, is death and with the consummation of this penalty, by killing the blasphemous Christian, a fundamentalist Muslim believes that he is serving Allah. Of them Jesus could well say that “they have not known the Father or me.”

However, let us never forget that Jesus was put to death, tortured and vilified, victimized by an unspeakable injustice, and yet thinking of the souls of the perpetrators of his condemnation and exonerating them, praying for them: “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”[4]

Whenever we witness or experience the terrible fruits of Islamic ideology, may God lead our hearts to be filled with compassion for our deceived Muslim brothers and sisters and to be able to say with Jesus, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” Jesus promised:

Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.[5]
