1- World Is Unaware Of Impending Collapse (economic, political, governmental, religious, spiritual).
2- There is a Method to Muslim Madness.
3- The Church must be a Fully Functional Fellowship Of Faithful Followers of Christ.
Each one/Reach one.
Each part/Be a part.
BE WARNED, if you do not like politics mentioned in Bible studies, you will not like this SS Class.
If you don't like political, international intrigue, in Church Studies, then you will not like this Sunday School Lesson. But for those who are interested in seeing how believers fit into a world in trouble, you might appreciate this lesson.
1- Our society is as unaware of impending world disaster as a grub in the ground at Frawley Circle is unaware of Squirrel activities at Columbus Circle (the opposite ends of Central Park, NY).

The inevitable encroachment of Islam;
the irreversible collapse of US economy, free enterprise, capitalism;
the US betrayal and abandonment of Israel;
the Biblically prophesied alliances and/or attacks against Israel by Russia, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and other mid-eastern countries;
the rise of the revived Roman/European empire;
the demise of US power and Christian influence in the world are all taking place at a breakneck speed, yet hardly raising an eyebrow in our society.
However, one of two things will happen with the deterioration of the world as we know it.
However, one of two things will happen with the deterioration of the world as we know it.
Either some people will finally come to a realization of things we have known and declared unashamedly for decades, because the evidence will is irrefutable,
Or, people will be so blinded by the devices of Satan that they will not be able to see the obvious as it unfolds before their very eyes.
2- Not only did Islam present a danger to the nomadic tribes of the Mid-East 1400 years ago, and a life threatening presence to Europe 1,000 years ago, it has been on a consistent march to world domination throughout its entire history.
Remember, Islam came along in the wake of Judaism and Christianity, two of the most significant religious movements in the history of the world. (Judaism and Christianity are more than religious movements, but in the category of religious movements they are significant).

Islam was a human and carnal attempt to duplicate some of the teachings and practices of Judaism and Christianity, such as being monotheistic, unique, exclusiveness and believing in eventual world rule. However, Islam seeks world rule by human force, whereas Judaism and Christianity are waiting on God to accomplish His own Theocratic rule.
Concerning Islam, in 1899 Winston Churchill wrote in his book, The River War...
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
The USA became partners with Saudi Arabia and Persia, two of the most oppressive Islamic regimes (or any regime) in the world. This was driven by our desire/need for oil. This unholy liaison put America in bed with a rising monster and has now put us under the foot of a terrorizing tyrant.
Russia dealt with the Islamic problem for years, being neighbors with Islamic nations. Though the ruthless and godless Soviet Union kept Islam under a modicum of control, Russia could not conquer them and eventually terminated its war in Afghanistan. I often wondered why the second most powerful country in the world would go to war with donkey riders and cave dwellers, and wondered why unscrupulous atheistic Russia could not defeat them. While the Soviet Union was in existence, the Islamic threat was somewhat muted. with the collapse of the Soviet Union came the rise of Islam, all over the world. After Russia pulled out of Afghanistan, I wondered why USA would get involved, because I was a grub at Frawley Circle.
The leaders of our nation have not been unaware of the intended world overthrow, waged by Islam. For years I wondered why US leaders started to court world-wide Islam. It is because they knew the demographics and the intelligence reports. They knew that Islam will conquer the world, either by bullet or by ballot, and our leaders have been trying to court the coming world power. The free world (without a commitment to Jesus Christ and faith in His power to protect us) knew that a face to face with Islam was a date with the undertaker. Not only have we had leaders that were soft on the violent Islamic world, we now have a President that is pro Islamic religion.
Another impossible problem that eventuated was the rise of socialism/communism. Though socialism/communism has failed wherever it has sprung up, this cancer is now tightening its death grip on USA. Instead of USA being able to resist the lone surviving Communistic threat (China) we are now their slave because they own so much or our debt.
World peace, power, freedom, religion, government is now facing total collapse. I don't believe we are going to see a return of our free society. Therefore our only hope is in our Citizenship which is in Heaven. It is almost too late for the Church to finally stand up against the powers of darkness; almost too late to stand in the gap.
3- The Great Need For A Fully Functional Fellowship Of Faithful Followers of Christ.
I shared the thoughts I had posted concerning the Church's need to Evangelize A World In Trouble (A Metaphor & There is enough time in the day ... Saturday, 8/23) and called the believers to an active presence in a chaotic world. I reviewed my Metaphor, likening the Church to a Machine. I included the verses and the questions at the end of that post, calling for the believers to examine their own status, relationship and effectiveness in reaching a world in chaos.
