You can trust the Bible to be highly accurate, if
you know the context. With ISIS in Syria and Iraq we are seeing the literal ritual
sacrifice of humans specifically stated in Greek in Revelation 6:9.
My theory has been that once you enter a Revelation
Seal, signs of the next seal should begin. A few years after the birth (1985) of
the only person claiming to be the antichrist, war broke out in Iraq (1991). The
Second Seal of War opened on 9-11-2001, and draughts and famine increased by
2006. The Third Seal of increased food prices for the destitute and poor opened
during the summer of 2012, and within months the Muslim Spring began (2013). As
we enter the Fourth Seal of death by war, famine, disease, and beastly people
attacks, what are some of the signs of the Fifth Seal?
[End of Fourth Seal] They were given authority [Greek:
exousia-superhuman mastery] to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine,
by plagues and with the wild animals [Greek: therion-beastly Zombie-people] of the
earth. When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar [Greek: thysiasterion-place
of sacrifice/alter] the souls [Greek: psyche- spirit, breath, immortal soul of
humans and animals] of those who had been put to death [Greek: sphazo-butchered
or maimed like an animal for a sacrifice] for proclaiming the Word of God, that
is, for bearing witness. They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler,
HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living
on earth and avenge our blood?” Each of them was given a white robe; and they
were told to wait a little longer, until the full number [Hebrew: melo haGoyim]
of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be
killed, just as they had been. Revelation 6:8b-11 (CJB)
Do you see the connection between ISIS superhuman terrorists
butchering innocent Iraqi women and children and the ritual sacrifices of
animals? It’s like the Bible describing this exact ritualistic slaughter nearly
two thousand years ago. Beheading is more than a fear tactic. It is biblical.
Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them
received authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded
for testifying about Yeshua and proclaiming the Word of God, also those who had
not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their
foreheads and on their hands. They came to life and ruled with the Messiah for
a thousand years. Revelation 20:4 (CJB)

The ISIS rebels in Iraq advanced quickly in part
because they use beheadings to instill fear. The world, as well Muslims, must
condemn this tactic. Even Al Qaeda rejects it.
Over the past few months, large parts of Syria and
Iraq have fallen to the extremist militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and
Syria (ISIS). Now this terrorist group, which formed only last year, plans to
take Baghdad and create a theocracy that cuts across borders in the Middle
East.
As world leaders struggle in how to respond, they
should ask this: How did these Sunni Muslim fighters, who come from many
nations, advance so quickly? One clue lies in the brutality of ISIS, especially
its use of beheadings to cast dread far and wide.
Such a tactic strikes an unusual fear in its
opponents and helps the group to impose harsh Islamic law in areas now under
its control. In Iraq, both civilians and government soldiers have taken flight
even though the militants barely raised a sword or pointed a gun.
Last week, a third of the people in Mosul fled as
the group took over Iraq’s second largest city – in only four days. Journalists
report that ISIS fighters have lined up decapitated heads on the streets to
keep the population in line.
Pray for the innocent lives in Syria and Iraq.
Shalom!
