Vol. 5, No. 2 - 21st Century WATCH- Nov./ Dec., 2002
By Garner Ted Armstrong
During the sniper shootings, hundreds of thousands of people in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. were living in apprehension and fear, as vicious, cowardly killers randomly shot their victims. But the individual who lives in minute-by-minute terror is the arch terrorist himself, Saddam Hussein.
It was reported by Pravda, in association with World Net Daily, that a kamikaze pilot deliberately crashed his Iraqi air force jet into one of Saddam Hussein’s “palaces” last week, hoping to kill the Iraqi dictator. Iraqi news sources clammed up; no confirmation whatsoever from Iraq.
It is known that Saddam utilizes several doubles; that these look-alikes actually stand in for him in meetings with heads of state and other political and social functions, thus insuring that Saddam himself will not be the target of assassination attempts.
Each day, doubles travel here and there in duplicate limousines, complete with armed convoy, faking trips to various of Saddam’s many palaces, to government buildings or military bases. The real Saddam may be in any of them or none of them, perhaps, instead, being driven to his destination in some nondescript civilian vehicle.
Saddam never sleeps in the same place twice in succession. Only his closest, most trusted family members and “advisers” (read “bootlicks,” “lackeys,” and “sycophants”) are allowed to know where he is, or to remain close to him. He has food tasters who must sample his food and drink in his presence; people who check out his boots and clothing; people who are heavily armed, and on duty night and day. When he sits down with a room full of his own military generals, a bodyguard stands just behind him, surveying the men, who have all had to pass several security checks prior to entering the room, including close body searches. Saddam sits at a “U” shaped table, at the head, and there is invariably an open door just to his right and behind him, next to the armed guard, so he could instantly slip out of the room in case of trouble.
As I learned many decades ago, dictators do not groom successors.
Yet, Saddam has entrusted his life, his power, his huge fortunes and his control to his two sons, Uday and Qusay, who control virtually every major function of the Iraqi government, such as transportation and communication (all radio and television). Little do Saddam’s two most trusted sons know the precarious positions they occupy. Not a day goes by that Saddam is not brooding about possible conspiracies and plots, you may rest assured. His most constant fears are those of betrayal, of assassination, of a major coup d’ etat. As if to underline that fact, Pravda from Moscow also reported that a recent attempt on Saddam’s life resulted in the summary executions of 14 plotters. Just how they died is open to speculation.
Earlier, in January of 2000, the opposition in Iraq tried to arrange an assassination, which was leaked. All conspirators, thirty- eight of them, were executed. There is no information as to how. But Saddam, who enjoyed watching a traitorous military officer lowered shrieking into an acid bath, could hardly be expected to simply stand them before a firing squad. Adolf Hitler had the conspirators who tried to blow him to bits at his East Prussian Wolfschanze (Wolf’s Lair) hung up on meat hooks through their lower jaws, there to slowly strangle to death. One could hardly expect Saddam Hussein, bloodthirsty, cowardly brute that he is, to be less inventive.
This is why neither Uday or Qusay seem to be interested in overthrowing daddy. They have participated in many of the bloodiest and cruelest tortures and deaths of Saddam’s adversaries, and could be expected to have intimate knowledge of just how Saddam’s two sons-in-law were put to death after having defected to Jordan, and then foolishly believing Saddam’s expressions of forgiveness, and, like stupid cattle, returning to Iraq.
Today, simple-minded, foolish people in the U.S., government; especially some Senators; whimper and wail about whether we will, by launching attacks against Iraq, “push Saddam over the edge.” Their empty-headed reasoning seems to be that if we leave this monster alone, he will be quiescent, but if we irritate him, he will lash out with his stocks of chemical and biological weapons. They fail to acknowledge that he has already done so, against Iran during the eight long years of waging war against his Islamic neighbors, and against his own citizens in many Kurdish villages.
During Hitler’s last days, as he cowered in his concrete bunker deep under Berlin’s streets, the mad dictator was ordering non-existent armies to non-existent fronts, spewing out irrational, crazed epithets against his own people who, he claimed, had “betrayed” him! He deliberately played out the final scenes of his favorite opera, Wagner’s Gotterdammerung in refusing to surrender, as the fiery destruction of the great city of Berlin took place under the onslaught of several Soviet armies. Eventually, he took the coward’s way out - that of suicide.
One can expect Saddam Hussein to do the same thing, unless, if the crafty dictator is also such a spineless coward that he has already arranged for a dozen or so escape contingencies, including a private or military jet to some other Islamic country, such as Libya, Sudan, or Syria. It is known that Saddam has squirreled away billions in Swiss and off shore bank accounts, siphoning off monies earned from illegal oil sales, and skimming funds which are supposedly intended to feed starving Iraqi citizens. His sons also oversee the national economy, and see to it that the Saddam clan is insured against all eventualities.
Dealing with mad dictators has always been the bane of western nominal Christian civilization. Americans were treated to horrifying scenes of a blasted “baby milk factory” which had been turned into a civilian bomb shelter during the Gulf War. CNN cameramen and reporters dutifully went to the scene, escorted by Iraqi military, and filmed the horrifying sights of all this “collateral damage” as the result of an American laser-guided bomb.
Americans issue orders to their military, “Go ahead and wage war, but don’t get anybody killed - and do not dare kill a single civilian on the other side.” Americans, now completely propagandized by the dizzying array of supersophisticated “smart” weapons in our arsenals, expect to be entertained in front of their television sets in the coming war with Iraq by seeing dozens of GPS guided bombs going down elevator shafts, inside windows and doors, and in the precise “X” marked centers of aircraft hangers, ammunition dumps, command and control facilities, and, of course, all of Saddam’s “palaces.” They will be doomed to disappointment. “Collateral damage” is inevitable in warfare, and you may rest assured Iraqi TV, if not CNN, will play it to the hilt.
What if the situation were reversed? What if some of the leftist liberals had their way, and forced the government to wait until Saddam had a thousand nuclear weapons and the ICBMs with which to deliver them half a world away in about 30 minutes? He could well be there in another three to five years - not long to wait.
Saddam would then blackmail other nations, especially the U.S., by saying either we would bend to his will, or he would obliterate every major U.S. city. You see, mad dictators do not care about human life. They care not about women and children; about helpless, unarmed civilians.
Our dilemma is that we do.
So, instead of issuing an ultimatum to Saddam, backed up by America’s own large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, as well as our thousands of NUCLEAR weapons, many of our leaders insist that we play Saddam’s game.
It is simply unthinkable to the nominal Christian West to say to Saddam, “Either you disarm completely in the next thirty days, or we will turn Baghdad into glass! If you attack Israel, or any U.S. forces with chemical or biological weapons, we will unleash vast chemical and biological attacks against all your cities.”
No, it is simply unthinkable for any U.S. commander-in-chief to issue such an ultimatum.
The U.S. and our so-called “allies” are following a completely different philosophy today than that followed during World War II. Then, once Hitler had bombed Coventry and London, the entire nature of warfare changed. It was the entire German people who were held guilty. The Americans and British waged war against “Krauts” and “the Hun.” Never was there any large scale movement among the American or British populace to lay the blame solely on Hitler and a handful of cronies, saying “but we have no quarrel with the German people.” No, warfare had become total war against total populations for total stakes!
Daily, the U.S. Eighth Air Force dumped thousands of tons of bombs against civilian targets; the major city centers of Mainz, Koblenz, Berlin, Mannheim, Wuppertal, Koln, Essen, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, and dozens more. There were no screams of outrage about “collateral damage,” since Londoners had been experiencing the “blitz” for many months in 1940, where thousands of civilians died. Americans and British simply did not care about the thousands of German civilians being killed. They were merely “getting what they deserved” for supporting Hitler.
In Japan, Curtis LeMay’s B-29 bombers, staging from Islands wrested from Japan in the Pacific, dumped fire bombs on Tokyo, killing over 100,000 civilians in a huge firestorm which actually took more lives than the atomic bomb which destroyed Hiroshima. This, in the belief that fanatical Japanese would fight to the last man; that they were suicidal (as proved off Saipan when huge squadrons of Japanese kamikazes hurtled themselves against dozens of American ships). Truman made the decision (according to his own words “like that!”) to drop the bomb on Hiroshima in the belief that the killing of a hundred thousand men, women and children in Japan would save perhaps a million American lives.
The entire concept of warfare has changed. As the weapons of war have become more precise, and ever more deadly, civilians have come to expect that only the most important military targets are hit, and that “innocent” civilians are exempted. It does not matter to families in Kansas that millions of Iraqis - fundamentalist Islamic and therefore hostile to the “Great Satan”-were dancing in the streets upon hearing about 9/11. So far as most Americans are concerned, “the Iraqi people” are good people, just temporarily in the control of a mad dog dictator. This naive concept spills over into the White House, and into the Pentagon.
Even though it is known that “human shields” were used in the Gulf War, and that the Islamic fundamentalists have traditionally hidden their military assets among civilians and in civilian neighborhoods, the public demands that there be “no collateral damage” (a term unheard of during World War II).
It will be marvelous to behold how our media rushes their cameras to the first bedside of the first injured child once the bombs start to fall.
Meanwhile, heavy indeed is the crown on the head of the world’s greatest coward; the mad dictator of Iraq. How I would hate to be in the shoes of Uday or Qusay, who should be aware that the “evil eye” is fixed squarely upon them, and upon all they do. The world’s greatest terrorist is truly terrified. May he live in protracted fear.

What “pushed him over the edge?” What was it that “caused him to explode in violence?”
Millions of normal, average people in America, regardless of race, creed or religion, have great difficulty getting into the mind set of a vicious, heartless serial killer.
For weeks, as thousands of law enforcement officials sought to track down the infamous “beltway sniper,” dozens of “experts” were interviewed by the media, attempting to inform the public about the possible motives and mind set of the killer or killers. Criminologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, former FBI officials, detectives and police officers were asked to express their opinions about the why of all the vicious killings.
Not a one of them was able to indicate the true motives of the killers. They compared him to the “Son of Sam,” to the “Unibomber,” and to other serial killers. He wanted the attention, they said. He wanted to “go out in a blaze of glory.” He wanted to “make a statement.” He “wanted to get caught.” No doubt, they opined, some domestic disturbance in his life; perhaps being fired from a job, had “triggered the violence.”
But once the sniper and his so-called “son in law,” John Lee Malvo from Jamaica, had been caught sleeping in their specially-modified rifle platform, a Chevy Caprice, all the theories fell through. Not a one of them had put their finger of the sniper’s hatred. Will we ever know? Will even John Muhammad deign to articulate his innermost motives?
As the information continued to flow in, police learned that John Allen Williams had been in the National Guard; that he had twice been court-martialed, once for striking an officer. The media descended on his former home and birthplace, and spoke to his aunt who had raised him, and to a fellow National Guardsman.
Soon, it was revealed he was a “troubled” young man. The use of this expression is misleading. It immediately gives the impression that some thing, or some one, or some set of circumstances beyond his control caused these “troubles.” It therefore turns the troublemaker into a victim; lays the blame for his irrational, violent, cruel nature on others, or on circumstances, and claims him innocent!
John Allen Williams, like millions of other young black boys in America, grew up without the comforting and normal support of a father and mother in their appropriate positions as breadwinner and homemaker. While this is not the “fault” of such children, neither is it the fault of society as a whole. It is the direct fault of the thoughtless young girl who thought more of passing sensual thrills than the life-long responsibility of marriage and childrearing, and of the young man who traded a momentary love tryst for a lifetime of a young child who would grow up to become a killer of his fellow human beings.
John Allen Williams had been in the Army. He had become an “expert marksman” with the M-16, a .223 caliber rifle, which is standard for the U.S. Army, and was entitled to wear the expert marksmanship medal on his military tunic. He is a veteran of the Gulf War.
But at some point John Allen Williams became, instead, “John Muhammad.” Such a change is not merely cosmetic. It is not superficial. It is, instead, profound. It is called “conversion” to Islam. In this case, conversion to the “Nation of Islam,” headed by “Elijah Muhammad.”
Eventually, he became the bodyguard of Louis Farrakhan, the very famous spokesman for the Nation of Islam, and organizer of the well-publicized “million man march” in Washington D.C., where Farrakhan, in a rambling long speech, punctuated by numerology and a mixed bag of references to the Koran and the Bible, appealed to racist emotions, and fanned the rage of every black man present. Perhaps time will tell whether John Muhammad, the bodyguard of Louis Farrakhan, was somewhere nearby his leader, and heard his words, along with hundreds of thousands of other black men.
The following are but a few of the statements Farrakhan made on that sunny day October 17, 1995 on the Washington Mall:
“You’ve got Arabs here. You’ve got Hispanics here. I know you call them illegal aliens, but hell, you took Texas from them by flooding Texas with people that got your mind. And now they’re coming back across the border to what is Northern Mexico, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. They don’t see themselves as illegal aliens. I think they might see you as an illegal alien. You have to be careful how you talk to people. You have to be careful how you deal with people. The native American [“American Indian”] is suffering today. He’s suffering almost complete extinction. Now, he learned about bingo. You [whites] taught him. He learned about black-jack. You taught him. He learned about playing roulette. You taught him. Now, he’s making a lot of money. You’re upset with him because he’s adopted your ways. What makes you like this? See, you’re like this because you’re not well. You’re not well. And in the light of today’s global village, you can never harmonize with the Asians. You can’t harmonize with the islands of the Pacific. You can’t harmonize with the dark people of the world who outnumber you 11 to one, if you’re going to stand in the mind of white supremacy. White supremacy has to die in order for humanity to live.”He also said, “Now brothers, sisters, I want to close this lecture with a special message to our president and to the Congress. There is a great divide, but the real evil in America is not white flesh, or black flesh. The real evil in America is the idea that undergirds the setup of the western world. And that idea is called white supremacy. Now wait, wait, wait. Before you get angry. Those of you listening by television. You don’t even know why you behave the way you behave.”
On the same theme, he said, “I’m not telling you I’m a psychiatrist, but I do want to operate on your head. White supremacy is the enemy of both white people and black people because the idea of white supremacy means you should rule because you’re white, that makes you sick. And you’ve produced a sick society and a sick world.”
And a final quotation: “Any great invention we made you put white on it, because you didn’t want to admit that a black person had that intelligence, that genius. You try to color everything to make it satisfactory to the sickness of our mind.
“So you whitened up religion, Farrakhan didn’t do that. You locked the bible from us, Farrakhan didn’t do that. Your sick mind wouldn’t even let you bury us in the same ground that both of us came out of. We had to be buried somewhere else, that’s sick. Some of us died just to drink water out of a fountain marked white. That’s sick. Isn’t it sick?
“You poisoned religion. And in all the churches, until recently, the Master was painted white. So, you had us bowing down to your image. Which ill-affected our minds. You gave us your version of history. And you whitened that up. Yes, you did. Yes, you did.
“You are a white Shriner. The black Shriner don’t integrate the shrine. Why don’t you black Shriners integrate the shrine? Because in the shrine, you are the essence of the secret. They don’t want you there. They’ll have to tell the world, it’s you we been thinking about all along.”
Such inflammatory rhetoric could only resonate deeply in the hearts and minds of many of those present, and millions more who watched on television.
Today, moderate Muslims loudly decry the “stereotyping” of all Muslims based upon “the actions of a few.” They say, over and over again, that Islam is a religion of love and peace. They point out, quite correctly, that Christianity and Judaism have also had (and do have) their violent fringe elements, who, under their own warped interpretation of the Old Testament or the Christian scriptures justify attacks against blacks or Muslims.
The deeply sad element in all this is that race war is a very real potential. Look at the conditions in this world today! In Indonesia, Muslims and Hindus hate one another; Muslims hate the West and everything it stands for, and both groups hate the United States and Britain.
Many Muslims hate other Muslims; Sunnis and Shia’s are traditional enemies. When Saddam Hussein attacked Iran, he attacked a Moslem country. He also attacked and occupied Kuwait, a fellow Arab country and a Moslem country. He sent SCUD’s crashing down on Saudi Arabia’s capital, and sent his army into northern Saudi Arabia, a fellow Arab and Moslem country.
The truth is that it is not merely a tiny fringe element of Islam that hates the West. Literally millions seethe with such hatred, and the weak excuses of Imams and apologists can never paper over that fact. The acts of terrorism and hate-filled rhetoric are simply too poignant to ignore.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. It grows very rapidly among angry young blacks in the American prison system, where up to 65% of the inmate population is black.
Whatever the innermost motives of John Muhammad and his young protégé, John Lee Malvo, his conversion to Islam; his adoption of the most revered name in Islam; his violent background and his domestic failures must all have played their part. Some will be quick to point out that he made no distinction in his victims; that one of those shot was a black man. Law enforcement may also be quick to point out that such brutal killings may have been a deliberate red herring to deflect any accusation of racism. Over the next months, we will no doubt learn much, much more about these two. But will we ever learn the true innermost motive?
Meanwhile, millions of Americans in Maryland, Washington D.C. and Virginia have been heaving collective sighs of relief. Let us pray there are no copycats out there who will take up where these brutal, vicious killers left off. Let us also be thankful for the tireless efforts of law enforcement and average citizens who finally helped capture the pair.
THE ISLAMIC ENEMY OPENS A NEW FRONT
From our correspondent in Germany:
By Michael Burkert
The Islamic War that’s being waged against all non-Muslims, both individuals and nations is heating up. Not only was the area surrounding Washington D.C. living in a constant state of terror, but the news is rife with reports of terrorism from Kuwait and the Indonesian island of Bali.
I have been to many places in the world, but none as peaceful and serene as Bali. Bali has been a tourist paradise for many years. Allied soldiers discovered this scenic tropical haven shortly after the end of World War II. It’s been a particularly favored destination of both British and Australian tourists. It became known to Al-Qaeda simply as a soft target, easy to strike with favorable results to be expected. It looks like Al-Qaeda got “favorable results.” The news over 180 murdered!
The news from Kuwait is not good. Al-Qaeda has struck in the tiny Emirate. The Kuwaitis have captured 15 members of an Al-Qaeda cell that has been operating in Kuwait for years. The Ministry of the Interior Police in Kuwait is not hampered by the restraints of a “politically correct” United States system. Each of the Al-Qaeda cell members captured to date has talked. That means the Kuwaiti Police employed effective interrogation methods that obtained the appropriate information. The results they obtained may save lives. Lives of Kuwaiti citizens and foreigners, both British and Americans. The Ministry of Interior interrogators didn’t mess around with the Al-Qaeda members; they got to the point immediately! They achieved very rapid results.
During the years I lived in Kuwait, I was assigned to the American Embassy in Kuwait City. My job was to assist the Kuwaiti Government in modernizing systems and services. The two main offices at the embassy were the Office of Military Cooperation Đ Kuwait, or OMC-K and the Kuwait Armor Modernization Office, or KAMO. We also had civil assistance programs that were designed to help modernization efforts in various government ministries. The embassy was very much involved in assistance to the Ministries of Finance and Commerce. Incidentally, the programs I’ve mentioned were all funded by the Kuwaiti Government, and operated at no cost to the American taxpayer.
Amongst the American and British expatriate community, it was a commonly known reality that various terrorist organizations were extant in Kuwait, and the Ministry of Interior knew who and where both individuals and organizations were located. I never heard this information from official embassy sources, either American or British, however I did hear of Al-Qaeda operatives present in Kuwait through sources in the Kuwait General Administration of Customs. During my service in Kuwait, I was a personal friend of Mr. Ibrahim Abdullah Al-Ghanim, the Director General of Kuwait Customs. At one point, Kuwait Customs had arrested an Iranian citizen. During a routine customs examination of his luggage, a customs inspector discovered eight different passports secreted in a suitcase. Each had a different name, yet each had the same photograph. The photograph was that of Osama Bin Laden. At the time, this electrifying news was held in close confidence.
I was told that the Kuwaiti government had a “deal” with some terrorists and terrorist organizations that Kuwait would be a “safe haven” for certain individuals, as long as no incidents would occur on Kuwaiti soil. I was never apprised as to who or what organizations were involved in the “deal.”
The Islamic War is far from over. However the “peace crowd” is actively attempting to torpedo our president’s efforts to end it. In both Europe and the United States, peace advocates are in the streets trying to urge our government and the British government as well, to “give peace a chance.” I’ve even heard some of the Sunday morning holy men saying “prosecuting the war on terrorism, against Iraq, or any other country is contrary to the teachings of Jesus.” From listening to these guys one gets the idea that Jesus was some kind of a pacifistic wimp.
Anyone who’s ever seen a “Jesus movie” will remember how Hollywood depicts Jesus. He always looks weird, hippylike, with long flowing hair, a full scraggly beard, and a weird stare that in the military we always called a “Thousand-Meter Stare.” The pantywaist, pansy “movie Jesus” always is quoting scripture, and making sissy, pacifistic statements, such as He never said.
This is the “Jesus” of the Peace Movement in the world today. The peace movement will undoubtedly continue to grow on our college campuses, and in our public schools. The peace crowd of Vietnam War days is in control of our education system, from kindergarten through university! Not only has this liberal group of men and women given us Satan in the classroom, they will continue to poison the minds of our young people whenever and wherever they can. Liberalism has created the rot from within. Our college and university students for the most part are simply not willing to serve the nation, regardless of the serious threats to our future, and make the sacrifices necessary to achieve victory. We shall hear much more of that in the near future.
JESUS CHRIST WAS NO COWARD! FAR FROM IT!
The members of God’s Church are fully aware that Jesus did not come to the Earth to change the Old Testament laws or policies and procedures already established. The Old Testament is rife with stories of bad guys getting their just reward. The Old Testament records that there were times that God ORDERED the annihilation of entire nations of peoples! The Amalekites come to mind. God ordered the Israelites to annihilate the Amalekites.
Jesus said himself, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till it be all fulfilled. Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men to do so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:17-20).
We brethren also know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Paul told us this fact in Hebrews 13:8. The Ten Commandments carried down from Mount Sinai were carved in stone by the very finger of none other than Jesus Christ! He didn’t come to Earth to “do away with the commandments,” he didn’t come to “nail them to the cross,” and he didn’t come to Earth so that his memory and image could be used to overlook demoniacal despots, mass-murderers, or SATANICALLY INSPIRED AND CONTROLLED DICTATORS. Jesus has already said what He is going to do when He returns to this Earth. Yet the Sunday morning “peaceful Jesus guys” tell us that, “we have to love our neighbor and we can have peace if we will only believe on Jesus and trust in Him to deliver us from evil.” They continue to tell us that war is not the way - NEVER! It’s better NOT to attack Saddam Hussein or anybody else, regardless of the risks we assume for not doing what has to be done. After all, isn’t this the path Jesus would follow? Isn’t it what Jesus would do? Well, isn’t it?
Revelation 17 reveals that during the Great Tribulation, the Beast power, or great dictator of the United States of Europe will gather together his 10 kings and their nations to do battle with the returning Jesus Christ. Verse 14 reveals, “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them.” How do you suppose that the Lamb will overcome the great dictator and his war machine? Will He do it by “giving peace a chance”? Will He overcome the great dictator and his massive, powerful modern armies, navies and air forces by “negotiating a peace deal”? Will He wimp out and tell His followers to lay down THEIR arms in the name of PEACE? Hardly! Jesus said himself in Matthew 10:34, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.” This is not a statement that the “Sweet Jesus Crowd” wants to fess up to.
When Jesus Christ returns to this Earth, He will lead the mightiest assemblage of ARMED FORCES the world has ever seen. Jesus will be the Supreme Commander of all heavenly forces consisting of millions of angels, resurrected saints and those remnants of God’s people extant at the time of the Second Coming who will be instantly converted to spirit beings at the sounding of the Last Trump.
The great dictator will know when Jesus and his assembled forces have returned to Earth. Millions will “hear the call” of their great dictator, and will take up arms in defense of the Beast and the Great False Prophet. The Great False Prophet will no doubt tell the masses that they are fighting invaders from outer space, and to fight the invaders, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
Does Jesus have any pacifist tendencies? Is He a “peace at any price” liberal, who “just wants to get along”? Judge for yourself. John saw a vision of the future, a vision of the returning King of kings, Lord of lords. John wrote in Revelation 19:11, “And I saw Heaven opened and behold a white horse: and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR.”
Revelation 19:19 says, “And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.” We are told clearly that the great dictator will have enough time to gather his armies with the intent of destroying the invading forces of the King of kings.
The war that follows will be the most calamitous conflict in the history of mankind. Battle deaths will run into the MILLIONS. Destruction will be widespread. Yet the destruction will be limited to the people and equipment that actually fights against Jesus. Jesus’ gathered forces will practice the ultimate in surgical strikes. Enemy forces, and the weapons and weapons systems employed in this great war will be utterly devastated by the supernatural forces of Jesus. Buildings, bridges, homes, schools, hospitals and the like will be spared destruction.
Although the great dictator and his assembled armed forces will command very advanced air forces, navies and superior ground forces, with the most modern weapons imaginable, they will not stand a chance against the forces commanded by Jesus Christ! Enemy air forces will be capable of vicious attacks, yet it will do them no good whatsoever. The great dictator’s forces will attack again and again, until they simply run out of any means to continue the war against Jesus and His forces. Every offensive action planned and executed by the great dictator and his war machine will meet the same fate. They will be annihilated, to the last man. Their advanced, modern weaponry will be rendered worthless and harmless. Anyone human, who shall take up the sword against Jesus, shall perish by the sword. This cataclysmic conflict, waged by the beast power will result in the complete destruction of his ability to wage war. Only then can PEACE be achieved. When peace is possible, it will be by the terms set forth by the King of kings, Jesus Christ himself. Finally, the world will actually see the “war to end all wars.” It will do just that, it will end ALL WARS. Jesus Christ will personally cast the great dictator and his grand religious cohort into the lake of fire.
So how do you suppose Jesus would deal with Saddam Hussein? Would He give Saddam a pass? Would Jesus trust in the word of Saddam? Would He wait until the Iraqis develop nuclear weapons? Or, would He opt to deal with Saddam before the Iraqi despot has nukes at his disposal?
I know that Jesus would NOT back away from doing what has to be done. I know that Jesus was never a pacifist, nor will He ever be one. He was a strong, robust man, and obviously was very tough! He had to be in order to survive the terrible beatings that he suffered BEFORE being nailed to the stake at Golgotha. Many victims of Roman scourging died long before they received the final torture of crucifixion. Even after He received horrible beatings, scourging, and torturous treatment, He was nailed to the stake. He then spent many hours in agony before he finally expired. No, Jesus Christ was no wimp!
Look for new atrocities committed by our Islamic enemies. I continue to believe that our country will be attacked again, and with a new ferocity. I foresee several possibilities, anything from an attack by airliner or airliners, to the spread of highly contagious diseases by volunteer “martyr wannabees.” These heartless murderers will be purposely infected with highly contagious diseases and will arrive in the United States. They will then simply just walk around and make contact with as many people as they can, until they’re too sick to continue. With the ever-growing number of visas issued at our embassies in the Middle East, this type of attack could come to pass very soon, and produce terrible results. Many infected Muslim visitors could be dispatched to the United States to cause a great deal of death. Diseases such as smallpox, hemorrhagic fever, diphtheria, Ebola, just to name a few potential killers, may already be in the hands of our Muslim enemies.
The recent discovery of a terror plot in Germany, just prior to this year’s Feast of Tabernacles, revealed that the target of the bombs found in the terrorists home were intended for the local American high school. The plan was to attack high school students during lunch hour. To the Islamic enemy, no target is off limits! No target is “over the line.” Expect our schools to be attacked. Expect the nominal Christian Churches to be attacked, both Catholic and Protestant. Expect Jewish Synagogues to be attacked. Any target that produces terror, is a target for our Islamic enemies. To repeat, no target is off limits to these demon inspired and controlled murderers!
Will our enemies win this war? They may. If we as a nation are unable to solidly back the president, if our Congress continues to place politics above national security, if the peace movement succeeds in eroding public confidence in our government, and forces us to give in to Al-Qaeda’s demands, then we surely shall lose.
If the bulk of our nation’s people were to REPENT, and receive baptism, and the Holy Spirit, then make every effort possible to eliminate the influences of Satan and his minions, we might see a new dawn for our nation and people. However, we all know that this is not going to happen. The American people are not going to repent. We are not going to turn to God. We will not, as a nation, turn our backs on the fruits of Satan. It simply won’t happen.
Time is short, and it’s growing shorter every day. Our “politically correct” culture has set us up for a great fall! Our nation will not repent; we will not demand an end to filth in movies, television, music etc. Neither will we as a nation demand an end to nihilism or secularism. Our destruction as a nation, at the hands of our enemies, be they Islamic or other is only a matter of time. Pray that the Second Coming occurs soon. I believe that the first request in ALL of God’s people’s prayers should be, “Thy Kingdom Come.”
ISLAM: Is It Peace and Love, or
Confusion and Hate?
From our correspondent in Germany:
By Michael Burkert
I had the opportunity this morning to watch a talk program where the topic was the University of North Carolina requiring new students to read a book on the Koran, and the early “revelations” of Mohammed. The “learned” professor who was interviewed appeared quite knowledgeable about Islam. He provided several quotes from the Koran that seemed to indicate to the TV audience that, “Hey, this isn’t so bad. Islam is really an okay deal.” The professor went on to tell us that we need to understand why the “alleged skyjackers” (he refused to call them murderers or terrorists) might have decided to act rashly. If we only read his book, we can understand and empathize with these people. He conveniently forgot the many hate-filled, incendiary and volatile passages that permeate the Koran. He failed to acknowledge the litany of verses, particularly in the 9th Surrah of the Koran, that DEMAND that Muslims kill Jews, Christians and all Infidels wherever and whenever.
Give me a break! What is it about this hate-filled religion, and our Islamic enemies that continues, nearly a year after three-thousand of our fellows were MURDERED, to be whitewashed and glossed over by both the media and academia? The distinguished scholar I heard interviewed would have us believe that Islam is some sort of friendly social club? Why does Islam get a pass over its involvement with the murders of innocents everywhere? How can so many turn a blind eye to the butcher of Israeli innocents? Why does our news media “sympathize” with homicidal bombers who indiscriminately murder most violently, innocent women, children and old people? How is it that these murders are somehow “justified,” yet Israeli retaliation is not?
Recently, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad, the Islamic “holy man” in north Britain issued a thinly veiled threat against the United States and Britain, if we are to attack Iraq. The good Sheikh warned that September 11th type incidents would occur all over the U.K. and the U.S. if the West were to go to war against Saddam Hussein. He said that he and other Muslim clerics would issue a Fatwah or religious edict telling Muslims how they must respond to any such “evil” assault on Iraq. He went on to say that an attack on Iraq is an attack on Islam, and that in the event that Iraq is attacked, “Muslims will have the right to retaliate.” I have written about Fatwahs previously. They are normally tantamount to DEATH WARRANTS.
Even in our own country, Islam is getting a pass. Our president tells us, “We are not at war with Islam.” The sad thing is that Islam is at war with us. In fact, Islam is in a perpetual state of war with all Infidels.
An Islamic desire for
Harmony and Peace?
I read yesterday where Yasser Arafat has issued explicit orders that no Palestinian children are to be photographed with firearms and explosives. He apparently has figured out that it’s beginning to be a hard sell, convincing Americans that Islam is peaceful and loving, when little children are decked-out in “martyr outfits,” complete with AK-47 assault rifles and body bombs! He also is discouraging mothers from giving interviews with the western press, exhorting the virtues of their martyred or soon-to-be martyred sons. A recent interview shown here in Germany showed a Palestinian mother gleefully sending her son off to kill as many Israelis as possible, and to obtain “martyrdom.” She even spoke of preparing her youngest son for “martyrdom,” and expressed her hope that he would be able to kill more than just two Israelis, as his older brother had done. The little brother was also interviewed, and said that “I think often of my brother in paradise, and hope to join him soon as a martyr.” I expect that American donations to Islamic charities are down somewhat. Arafat can ban photographs and TV interviews, but the hatred and the deceit will continue. Why? Because Muslims believe in the ultimate triumph of Islam throughout Dar Al-Harb, or all lands not currently under Islamic control. The main difference between Islam, and nominal Christianity is this: Christians believe that God sent His only Son to die for us. Muslims believe in sending ALL of their sons to die for Allah!
Satan is the Author of
Confusion
Much of the misinformation published about Islam is a direct result of Satan’s plans for corruption and confusion. Proverbs 26:21-28 sum things up very well, “A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.” Satan HATES God. He hates everything that God stands for, everything that God created, and everything God has planned for the future. Satan loves confusion, corruption, hatred, violence, torture, destruction and horrible death for God’s creations.
Satan has deceived all nations. Revelation 12:9 tells us that Satan has deceived the whole world.
Several years ago, Garner Ted Armstrong wrote the booklet: The Religion of Hate. This booklet was written in the aftermath of the horrible bombing of the Alfred Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Mr. Armstrong wrote that Satan is the author of hate. He wrote this booklet because of seething hatred that some people in our country, such as Timothy McVeigh, have allowed to become in essence, their religion! Believe it or not, HATRED is a religion. There are many, many people who spend their days in HATE, much as a true believer spends his or her day in love. These people hate their neighbors, they hate their families, they even hate themselves! Hate has become their “religion.” This certainly is the case with radical Islam. I’m reminded what Peter wrote, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he can devour: Whom resist steadfast in faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” (1 Peter 5:8, 9).
Islam has made it easy for Satan. The creation of Islam and its perpetuation throughout the world is truly one of Satan’s great deceptions. All he need do is to whisper a suggestion into the ear of a Mullah, an Imam, or other Islamic “holy man,” and he gets rapid results! That little suggestion, either from a demon or from Satan himself grows like seed in fertile soil. How Satan must rejoice, how he must rub his hands together in glee amongst the carnage, the destruction and horrible pain and suffering caused by his deceived followers. Satan is the author of confusion. With so many billions deceived and confused, Satan’s Islamic creation will serve him well for some years to come. Although you won’t hear this on the evening news, throughout the Islamic world, ANY “holy man,” Mullah, Imam, Ayatollah can declare JIHAD! The vast majority of young men, and some old ones too, those being fit and able to serve in the Jihad, will feel obligated to do so. Jihad is the unwritten “sixth pillar” of Islam. No Muslim can ignore Jihad! Yet our great leaders and military thinkers continue to deny that we are at war with Islam.
The reason that our American and European news media is so enamored of Islam lies in nothing more than deception. Confusion and hate, two of Satan’s great creations, cause the liberal anti-American bias. Confusion, distrust and hate created liberalism, as we know it today. Therefore, our liberal news media and our liberal educators will continue to deny who the real enemy is in the war on terrorism.
Continue to keep a close eye on the Middle East. Jerusalem in particular is a key to future events. Continue to watch closely events that will lead up to war in the Persian Gulf region. Will we go to war with Iraq? Will Iraq go to war with us? Watch Israel. Israel will not tolerate her cities being bombarded again by Iraqi or other Arab missiles. If so attacked, expect Israel to retaliate violently!
Watch for a growing peace movement in our country. Already in Europe, a peace movement is growing. Many German university campuses, already under the influence of the “Greens” are seeing “peace committees” and “peace seminars” on the rise. Appeasement of Saddam Hussein is in the offing. I heard the question asked this morning on Deutsche Welle radio, “What can Germany do to accommodate peace in the Middle East?” The host and guest went on to opine that Germany must do everything to ease tensions between the U.S. and Iraq. War cannot be considered under any circumstance, against Iraq. There is no threat of weapons of mass destruction. Saddam after all only wants the sanctions lifted so that he can rebuild his damaged land, and nurture his people. These people are deceived beyond hope.
In closing, I refer once again to that professor espousing Islam on worldwide television. “You just have to know Islam. If you know Islam, and then you can understand Islam,” pled the old professor. I didn’t have to read Mao-Ste-Tung’s Little Red Book, to understand communism. God’s people don’t need to read the Koran, in order to understand what it really stands for: Confusion and hate.
From our correspondent in Australia:
By Murray Allatt
Sydney, Australia: Australia woke the morning of Sunday 13 October to the worst peace time disaster to befall the nation. Up to 180 Australians (at time of writing ) were dead, missing or dying of their injuries sustained in a terrorist bombing of a Bali nightclub frequented primarily by Australians but also by other western nationals. Scores more Australians lay injured in third world hospitals suffering missing limbs and many serious burn injuries. Many Balinese and other Westerners also died in the blast and resulting fire.
In the following days all of the Australians seriously injured were ferried back to Australia, some dying en route from their injuries, military medical help arriving too late to help them. The first RAAF C130 arrived in Bali some 12 or more hours after the bombing. Other injured returned by commercial flights. Thousands of holiday makers flocked to the airport trying to get out and back to Australia as quickly as possible.
Among the dead several teenage girls celebrating a fifteenth birthday and taken to the Sari Club chaperoned by their mothers while their fathers baby sat younger children. Six of the mothers were killed . They were part of a group of 25 including children holidaying in Bali from Sydney during school holidays. One of the girl’s aunts was later quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald saying “They wanted to go dancing so the mums took them to the Sari Club. They just wanted to be able to say they had been to a nightclub in Bali”
Also dead were many young footballers from several clubs from around the country celebrating the end of season. Also four young bridesmaids, who had accompanied the bride and groom to Bali on the honeymoon. The bride and groom had stayed in, tired after a day of shopping, while the bridesmaids, one the twin sister of the bride went dancing. All died.
The mood of the country in the days following the bombing was one of restrained shock. No bellicose utterances from our leaders but rather restraint and the promise of a “measured response.”
Mere speculation on the first day that al-Qaeda was involved firmed after a few days to fix suspicion on Jeemah Islamiah (JI) an Indonesian Muslim fundamentalist group with known ties to al-Qaeda. The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, announced to Parliament the government would seek from the United Nations a declaration that JI was a terrorist group.
Predictably many commentators in Australia and letter writers to the newspapers have claimed the target was chosen to kill as many Australians as possible because of Australia’s support for the United States led War on Terror and the stance of the United States against Iraq. One correspondent to the Sydney Morning Herald published 16 October 2002 took the Herald and others to task when writing “Your editorial, “ Call the butchers to account” (Herald 15 October), made the bald assertion that “ the Bali bombing has convinced many Australians that the Howard Government’s uncritical support for Mr. Bush’s war on Iraq has been harmful.” There is no evidence to support this statement, which to my mind seeks to hijack the suffering of innocents to support a questionable policy of appeasement. There is not a shred of evidence that the victims were targeted due to Australian government policies on Iraq. Far more likely, they were murdered for what, to the fevered mind of the bombing’s perpetrators, they represent: Western democratic values.
This view was echoed in an opinion piece in the same 15 October edition of the Herald when Gerard Henderson, political analyst, wrote, “Whatever personal positions are held about Bush, Blair and Howard , contemporary terrorism amounts to an attack on Western civilization.”
The view that extremist Muslims are in fact targeting the whole of Western freedom is starting to sink in, at least in some quarters of the press and the public. What is now needed is that fact acknowledged by our political leaders and strong measures pursued to combat the problem, not to appease.
Appeasement does not work with dictators. It did not work with Hitler when Neville Chamberlain thought Hitler’s gobbling up the Sudetenland would satisfy him, and it will not work if the nations of the world try to appease Saddam Hussein. Saddam imagines himself at the helm of a resurrected Islamic empire, like a Saladin, or a Darius. If he thought he could get away with it, he would occupy Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel and Jordan.
Sydney, Australia: On 11 October 2002 in the NSW District Court at Sydney the last of nine convicted gang rapists was sentenced by Judge Michael Finnane. The rapist, Mohamed Ghanem was given a sentence of 40 years with a minimum of 26 years. His was the second longest term, the longest term of 55 years going to Bilal Skaf, the adjudged leader of the gang who was sentenced two months earlier on 15 August. This was the longest term of imprisonment ever handed down for a nonmurder crime in New South Wales. Another seven men convicted of gang rape were sentenced to terms ranging from 22 to 35 years imprisonment. Five suspected gang rape members have never been apprehended.
The gang rapes of four young Anglo/Australian women took place in August 2000 in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics. At least some newspaper reports have speculated that the crimes were kept quiet at the time so as not to disrupt the Olympics.
These cases caused outrage among the Australian population for several reasons.
The perpetrators are Lebanese Muslimmen, some juveniles, and most Australian born. The victims were young, attractive Anglo/Australian women. In four separate incidents the gang used a technique of charm to lure the young women to go with two or three of them to listen to music or smoke dope or some other pretext. Once in the criminal’s car they were driven to remote industrial estates or other secluded locations and raped initially by those who lured them. However, these men, using mobile phones called in other gang members so that at least one victim reported being raped by 14 individuals.
A feature of the evidence from the victims was that they all reported being asked their national background initially. One victim gave evidence that she had been referred to as an “Aussie pig” by her rapists. Handguns were held to the head of each victim during the assaults.
The Sydney Morning Herald of 16 August 2002 reported on the sentencing of the gang leader and noted that “Judge Finnane had wanted to impose tougher sentences for some of the individual crimes but this would have led to a total period that outstripped the man’s probable lifetime.” The Herald reported the judge as saying in his remarks on sentence that the men behaved “ much like wild animals treat prey they have just killed.” The judge went on to say “ People talk about rape as a sexual crime, but in reality it’s a crime of domination and contempt. No human being should be treated in this terrible fashion, no one.”
The gang leader had initially denied he was at any of the crime scenes but had to concede his presence at one when DNA testing placed him there.
Only one of the offenders pleaded guilty to these crimes necessitating many trials. All those accused were found guilty.
It was also reported in the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper during one of the trials that the members of one criminal’s family had stated in conversation in Arabic (and recorded by a reporter and later translated) that it was all right to rape Australian girls.
In his remarks on sentencing Ghanen, Judge Finnane was quoted in the Herald of 12 October which stated “Noting the jail terms he had imposed on the nine brought to justice were severe.. Judge Finnane hit out at his critics. ‘They (the sentences) were a response to serial crimes carried out by a gang which had organised itself using mobile phones with almost military precision’
“Rape takes away life effectively from the women upon whom it is perpetrated. For many women who have been raped, the experience scars them for the rest of their life. Multiple rape can be -and in this case in my judgement is-worse than murder.”
“Éin my opinion, gang rape-particularly serial gang rape-never causes anyone thinking rationally to have any sympathy at all for the persons engaging in it. There can be no justification for and nothing but condemnation can be visited upon those who perpetrate it.”
Judge Finnane, the Herald reported, went on to dismiss suggestions that the offenders’ Muslim backgrounds were in some way linked to their crimes. Such behaviour was “completely contrary” to the tenets of Islam he said.
This is the common excuse of Muslims, who are quick to point out that “fringe elements” of all religions can resort to violence. But there is a stark difference. It has been proved that an unspoken sixth tenet of Islam is that of “Jihad” or “holy war” against “infidels.” Much of the fomenting of violence comes directly from Islamic mosques.
While apologists claim hate crimes such as race-based rape are “contrary” to the tenets of Islam, the words of the rapists (Aussie pig) give the lie to such excuses.
To Garner Ted Armstrong,
My wife and I are ex-Worldwide members. We are currently CGI members. Ted, you have done an excellent work and God knows! That's what matters to me. I listened to your Father and I listened to you and I still listen to you. Ted, keep the faith!!! You have many followers still!!! Know this: you've done
well!!!
T.W.
Hello Mr. Armstrong,
Thank you for bringing to light what is so obvious to me, for such a long time now. What I’m talking about is the BEAST. Why doesn't the world see what’s happening. You and your father have always taught right out of the Bible-THE PLAIN TRUTH. If possible send me as much literature as possible.
A.T.
Garner Ted Armstrong,
I appreciate all of the work you are doing. Used to watch you when you hosted The Plain Truth in the 1970s. Just got a computer and decided to look you up. I have many of your father's teaching booklets and the Bible course too.
G.G.
To Garner Ted Armstrong,
It was easy for me to recognize you as God's true Messenger. All I had to do was watch for someone that kept the Sabbath!
B.H.
Dear Brother Armstrong,
I've been listening to you and your Dad, since 1970s. You've taught me a lot. You've showed me where to find help in the Bible. Some things are to hard to understand, but with your help, and God’s help, I'm learning. I first caught your program on the WGN. Then they cut my cable off, so I had a friend tape your program for me.
J.H.
To Garner Ted Armstrong and the Web Site Office,
I have just recently discovered your website and those articles I've read online...how nice-my understanding is same. May God continue to bless and guide your work.
A.D.
To Garner Ted Armstrong,
Hello. I have learned so much from listening to you over the years. Thank you for being there.
Best Regards,
M.J.R.
Dear Mr. Armstrong,
I have admired you and your dad for many years. You speak the truth about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I remember feeling very depressed and disturbed when reading your take on Bible prophecy, especially the articles on the end time. But after years of listening and watching world events unfold as you accurately predicted with the aforementioned Bible Prophecy, I realized that my depression and fear, to my chagrin, was self-induced. We all have a God-given choice to choose God's way or the high-way. I have finally with your help, chosen Jesus and God the Father as my path. I now rejoice in my heart everyday that Jesus will be here on this earth very soon one day to save us from ourselves. I also pray for the strength to give up my life for the word of our Lord Jesus when that time comes. Thank you again Mr. Armstrong. God has blessed you and may He
continue to do so.
Sincerely, J.P.
To Garner Ted Armstrong,
Enjoyed HWA & GTA on radio & TV for many, many years...
and also the many, many booklets & tapes received during those years. Had not seen the TV program in the past couple of years....was not aware that it had returned. By chance, saw a portion of GTA program on TV this weekend. Would appreciate receiving “21st Century Watch”, as I did “20th Century Watch” for all those years. Thank you.
R.H.
To Garner Ted Armstrong,
I want to thank you for your insight into the Bible. Thank you for your help in providing those answers through your ministry and message every Monday morning. But especially thank you for offering your tapes and booklets to those of us that wish to continue our studies in God's Word. God bless you and keep you in all that you do.
Sincerely, S.L.
