Mulling over Daryl Stout to STEVE ASHER 20 Oct 2006

Hi Daryl,

SA>I just searched on "allah daughters", and the first site I looked at
SA>names them as al-Lat, al-Uzza (al-Uzi? :)) and Manat - each daughter
SA>had a separate shrine near Mecca. Muhamad was "tricked by the devil"
SA>into adding a verse into the Koran commanding Muslims to pray to
SA>Alla's three pagan daughters - this was accepted without dissent,
SA>but Muhammad later got a "revelation from God" that the verse should
SA>be removed. Looks like the Muslim "god" needed to issue bug-fixes. :)

 DS>   That's basically the same thing those tracts say...although they
 DS> didn't mention "the bug fix". However, each of these
"deities"
 DS> was/is controlled by a demonic influence...and most don't even
 DS> realize it. 

I just went off on a tangent, thinking that the demonic influence
behind Islam might be a factor when Lamb opens the seals in Rev 6;
the second horse is red, and the rider was given power to take
peace from the Earth - people kill each other, rider has a great
sword. Obviously not just Islam, but the "Religion of Peace" is
certainly warlike, and making its move for global domination.

The tangent was that while there are demonic influences behind Islam
and its "deities", Revelation starts with the angels of the seven
churches, and John writing to the angels of the seven churches, not
simply the members of the seven churches. I have never really thought
about these angels of the churches before, or their roles.

SA>Who is motivating Pres. Bush & Condi Rice to see the birth of a
SA>Palestinian state (on land covenanted to Israel) as a great legacy?

 DS>   Bush, Rice, and others want to appease the Arabs at the expense
 DS> of Israel, so the Arabs won't shut off the flow of oil. As one of
 DS> the Jack Chick tracts "Support Your Local Jew" notes:

 DS>   "Would we dump Israel for a tank of gas??!! God help us (and you
 DS> know He won't". The day any nation breaks diplomatic relations with
 DS> Israel, it is basically finished.

Everything is so perfectly tuned - Israel is God's covenant nation; the
Arab (largely Muslim) nations have much of the oil; the West and especially
the USA needs that oil - China, Japan etc have a stake in that oil, also.

SA>Very true, and as a J-Post opinion piece says, the warning signs of the
SA>war against Israel are everywhere, but noone wishes to see them. Not too
SA>many people in positions of political power - too busy looking to think
SA>tanks, UN, EU NATO etc to bring about "peace". The author
clearly sees
SA>the looming danger, but I wonder if he knows Jesus Christ as the One
SA>who can save him (and anyone) from that danger?

 DS>   It's strange that you can talk about any other religion, etc. But
 DS> when you mention Jesus Christ as the Son Of God, and the only way
 DS> to Heaven, it's so offensive to everyone. The Scripture of "the
 DS> preaching of the cross is foolishness to those that perish" is
 DS> fulfilled again and again. 

Even the US military, banning chaplains from ending prayers with "in
Jesus name", but providing "prayer rooms" for the increasing numbers
of Muslim recruits, etc.

Cheers, Steve..
