"Another
generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done... They
provoked the Lord to anger."
Judges
2:10-11
The Crisis Confronting Us
Europe is in danger of falling to Islam... There is an urgent
and serious need for a new Biblical Reformation and for a fresh
Spiritual Revival. Only Christianity, true Biblical Christianity, can
defeat radical Islam. Secular Humanism and Hedonism are no match for Islamic
Jihad.
National Suicide
By rejecting Christianity, Europe is committing spiritual
suicide.
By embracing secular Humanism and welcoming Islamic immigration, Europe is
committing cultural and economic suicide. By intermarrying with Muslims and
building mosques and madrassas throughout the continent Europe is betraying
future generations to bondage. The decline of Christianity in Europe is
catastrophic.
Learning from History
History is repeating itself. As in the 15th and 16th
Centuries, Europe is experiencing a renaissance of paganism and facing an
aggressive Islamic expansionism that threatens Faith and freedom. Those who
forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat its failures. Guilt
manipulation and Revisionism has neutralized Europe. We need to rediscover our
history. As Karl Marx declared: "The first battlefield is the re-writing
of history."
War Against God
Secularism, Humanism, Hedonism and Heathenism have gutted
Europe, morally, spiritually and ethically, making it vulnerable to an Islamic
takeover. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn declared, of Russia, in 1917: "We
forgot God!"
Secularisation
The book of Judges tells us of "another
generation" which "grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had
done" (Judges 2:10). We now have a secular society which has rejected the
pleasure of worship and replaced it with the worship of pleasure.
Building on the Sand
Europe has a new generation who have moved away from the
rock certainties of Biblical Christianity to the sands of relativism,
evolutionism, situational ethics, relative truth, reincarnation, Harry Potter,
The Da Vinci Code Hoax, The Gospel of Judas and the occult. Like Esau, they
have sold their birth right for a mess of pottage. Now young Europeans are
taught: "You come from nothing, You're going nowhere, life is
meaningless!"
The Blessings of the Gospel
From the time of the Reformation, Europe became the
world's dominant industrial region. The productivity and innovations of Europe
brought blessings to the whole world:
·
Medical science that saved lives and extended
life expectancy worldwide;
·
Agricultural productivity, which increased
from the wooden plough feeding one family, to the iron plough feeding 3
families, to the tractor feeding 60 families. Europe's agricultural innovations
ended famines;
·
Missionaries brought the blessings of
literacy, education and the Gospel of Christ to nations which had never before
even had a written language;
·
Representative forms of government and the
rule of law;
·
The abolition of slavery and the slave trade,
setting the captives free;
·
Roads, railways, bridges, schools, hospitals,
law courts, churches, the Bible in hundreds of previously unwritten languages.
Blessing the Nations
All of these blessings, and much, much more, God provided
through previous generations of Europeans, who were faithful to God's Word, and
faithful to God's work. Never, in all of history has any continent blessed so
many millions worldwide as Europe has done, through the Reformation and the
great missionary movements.
Another Generation
But now "another generation" has grown up
"who know neither the Lord, nor what He has done..." Instead of
building on the solid rock of God's Word, many Europeans today are building on
the sand of Humanism, Evolutionism and Hedonism.
Borrowed Blessings
Europe is living on borrowed blessings. Like a cut flower
the beauty can only abide for a short time, because it is cut off from the
source of its life. Soon the petals will fade and crumble and only the thorns
will remain.
Catastrophic
By abandoning its Christian roots and missionary calling,
Europe is cutting itself off from the very source of its blessings, freedom,
productivity and prosperity.
It is of great concern to us Africans that while
many millions of Africans are turning to Christ, millions of Europeans
are turning their backs on Christ... While we are rejecting heathenism and
embracing Christ, Europe is rejecting Christ and embracing heathenism.
"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie..." Romans 1:25
Ignorance and Immorality
"Another generation" has arisen that neither
knows the Lord personally, nor even knows about their great Christian heritage
and what God has done in, with and through Europe. What Alexander Solzhenitsyn
said of Russia on the eve of the Communist takeover/Revolution in Russia in
1917, can be said of most of Europe today: "THEY FORGOT GOD!"
"For although they knew God, they neither glorified
Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their
foolish hearts were darkened." Romans 1:21
Forsaking Knowledge
They took God's blessings for granted and did not
acknowledge Him. They neglected God's Holy Word, the Bible, the very Book which
has been the foundation and fountain of all their freedoms, productivity,
prosperity and blessings.
Aborting Europe
·
By aborting her babies, Europe is aborting
her future.
·
By secularising her schools, Europe is
condemning her youth.
·
By paganising her population, Europe is
perverting her society.
·
By importing millions of Muslim migrant
workers, Europe is committing demographic suicide.
The Turkish Connection
Turkey, which once threatened all of Europe, is now
considered for European Union membership. In 1453, when Constantinople was the
greatest city in the world, the Turks massacred its entire population. When the
Hagia Sophia was the greatest church building in the world the Turks
slaughtered the entire congregation, men, women and children, young and old
12,000 victims inside the sanctuary. In 1526, the Turks conquered Budapest and
looted the city. They then enslaved 200,000 Hungarian Christians and dragged
them back to Turkey as slaves. Vienna itself in the heart of Europe was
besieged by the Turks in the 16th and 17th Centuries, even as late as 1683.
Exterminating Christian Civilisation
What is today Turkey was once the Christian Byzantine
Empire, The land of the Seven Churches of Revelation. The Turks invaded and
overwhelmed the Christians of the Byzantine Empire and eradicated the
Christians until they were a minority in their own lands. Finally in 1915, the
Turks exterminated the Christian minority, the Armenians. 1.5 million Christian
Armenians were massacred by the Turks.
The Destruction of Smyrna
As recently as 1922, the last Christian city in Asia, Smyrna,
was destroyed by the Turks. A city of 300,000 people wiped out. The Biblical
city of Smyrna, where the Apostle John had ministered, annihilated by the
Turkish army, in living memory. Now some are considering welcoming Turkey into
the EU.
Eurabia
Studying the history of Islam and Europe, I am convinced
that should Muslims attain a majority in any country in Europe, it would
similarly oppress, persecute, eliminate and ultimately exterminate all
Christian minorities within its control. Muslims are openly talking about
turning Europe into Eurabia.
Claiming Europe for Islam
Muammar Gadhafi of Libya had claimed on Al Jazeera
television (10 April 2006): "We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There
are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - within a few
decades." Gadhafi pointed out that already Albania and Bosnia with Muslim
majorities have entered the European Union. If Turkey is added to the EU,
Europe will have another 50 million Muslims. Gadhafi exclaimed: Muhammad
"superseded all previous religions. If Jesus were alive when Muhammad was
sent, he would have followed him. All people must be Muslim!"
Understanding the Times
We need to rediscover our history. We need to understand
the signs of the times. Europe has faced a similar threat of radical, violent,
Islamic expansionism before. In the 16th Century. Europe experienced a similar
renaissance of paganism before. In the 15th Century. The threat is the same.
The solution is the same today as it was then. We need Reformation!

EUROPE
IS BEING TARGETED BY ISLAM
Recent intelligence reports include the following facts:
·
FRANCE: 1945 there were
100,000 Muslims in France. Today it is officially claimed to be over 6 million
(60 x increase), 10% of population. Muslims make up 70% of France's convicted criminals
in prison. Of the 1,000 Muslim neighbourhoods in France, 700 are listed as
"violent", 400 "very violent". There are 1,000 mosques in
France. In France 95% of convicted rapists are Muslims, 85% of convicted
murderers are Muslims, and 58% of convicted thieves are Muslims.
·
HOLLAND: Muslims are
officially 6% of population and very aggressive and assertive.
·
BELGIUM: 10% of population.
Half of all babies born in Belgium are now Muslims.
·
GERMANY: 2 million Muslims
(Berlin has the 4th largest Turkish population in the world.)
·
BRITAIN: 2 million (from
82,000 - 40 years ago - x 25 increase) British counter-terrorism experts
estimate that there are up to 25,000 Al-Qaeda supporters in UK. 1,000 Mosques
in Britain.
·
SWEDEN: 400,000 Muslims.
Massive increase in anti-Semetic attacks on Jewish population in Sweden. Riots
and no-go areas.
·
DENMARK: 200,000 Muslim
immigrants are trying to dictate their anti-Israel, Anti-American policies upon
the 5 million Danes. Although Muslims are only 4% of the population, they consume
over 40% of the social welfare spending. They also make up 75% of the country's
convicted rapists.
·
ITALY: 1 million Muslims
(In Italy Muslims make up 95% of all convicted rapists and 85% of all convicted
murderers.)
Note that almost every country with a Muslim majority is
a dictatorship. Even the so-called democracies are violently intolerant
of Christian minorities.
"These are the nations the Lord left to test all
those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan (He did this
only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had
previous battle experience)... They were left to test the Israelites to see
whether they would obey the Lord's Commands..." Judges 3:1-2
Foreign Subversion
The Saudi Arabian government has financed the building of
over 1,500 mosques, 210 Islamic centres, 202 colleges and 2,000 madrassas
(Islamic Quranic schools) in non-Muslim countries, mostly in Europe.
Security Nightmare
Security experts estimate that 5% of the 18 million
Muslims now living in Europe are radical terrorist supporters and
sympathizers, representing at least 75,000 to 90,000 potential terrorists
within the European Union borders.
Demographic Time Bomb
The average European woman has 1.5 children, and
the average Muslim woman in Europe has 6 to 8 children.
Rejecting God's Law
By rejecting God's Law, France may soon fall under
Islamic Sharia law! It started with the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572,
and the vicious persecution of the French Huguenots (the Protestants). Then
with King Louis XIVs Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, when all
Protestants were stripped of their rights and forced to flee France. Within a
century the French Revolution slaughtered tens of thousands on the guillotine.
Now France faces an Islamic Revolution. By rejecting God's Law they are heading
for Islamic Shari'a Law.
Aborting Her Future
A report published in Christian News by CFT warned that
Europe is dying by failure to have enough children. Patrick Buchanan in
"The Death of The West" projected that, if present trends continue,
by the end of the century, Europe's population will have plummeted from its
current 728 million to 207 million.
Demographic Disaster
Gene Veith of World notes: "Thanks to contraceptive
technology, sex has become separated from child bearing. With women pursuing
careers of their own and men getting sex without the responsibility of
marriage, why bother with children? For many women and men, pregnancy has
become an unpleasant side effect, something to prevent with contraceptives or
easily treated with a trip to the abortion clinic."
Sterile Hedonism
Christian News from CFT quotes Allan Carlson as saying:
"A pervasive hedonism... permeates the West...What's ironic however is
that this pursuit of personal pleasure and wealth may result in economic
ruin." Veith lists some of the disastrous consequences of population
decline: "Citizens are not just consumers, but producers. Having fewer
people can wreak havoc on an economy, creating both a labour shortage and a
shortage of buyers. A government with a shrinking population faces a smaller
military and fewer taxpayers. Dwindling populations have always signalled
cultural decline, with less creativity, energy and vitality on every level of
society."
The Future Belongs to the Fertile
"The great party of Western hedonism will not last
much longer. There is an iron law in history: the future belongs to the
fertile. Just as the clan centred, child rich Barbarian tribes of the Germans swept
away the sensuous and sterile Western Roman Empire, so shall new barbarians
arise."
Cultural Suicide
By abandoning its Christian heritage, aborting its
babies, embracing hedonism and perversion, demanding unlimited personal
freedoms, Europe is heading towards the repression of Islamic Sharia law. By
rejecting Christianity, Europe is in danger of falling under Islamic
totalitarianism.
A Magnet for Muslim Migrants
The combined effects of affluence, welfare and a rapidly
falling birth rate have made Western Europe a magnet for millions of
impoverished Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East. With most Europeans
embracing a practical atheism, or a fuzzy new age spirituality, they are
incapable of comprehending, let alone effectively dealing with, radical Islam.
That, in a nutshell, is the problem.
WHAT IS
THE SOLUTION?
How are we as Christians to respond to this serious
threat to faith and freedom in Europe? How can we be MORE THAN CONQUERERS in
this crisis?
Recognising God's Enemies and God's Weapons and Strategy
We need to:
o Recognise
God's enemies: Secular Humanism and Radical Islam.
o God's
weapons: Bible teaching, Evangelism, Prayer - including the Imprecatory Psalms.
o God's
Battle plan/strategy: The Great Commission, God-fearing families and
discipleship.
Avoiding the Extremes
There are two extremes we need to guard against: There
are those who refuse to see the crisis. They say there is NO PROBLEM! Then
there are those who panic and say that there is NO HOPE!
Recognising the Challenges
We must recognise the problems, honestly and soberly. Man
is depraved and in rebellion to God and His Word. Sin inevitable reaps
tremendous trouble. We must also recognise that God is Sovereign and Almighty,
there is power in prayer, and the Gospel is the power of God for the salvation
of all who believe. How can any Christian say that there is "no
hope!"?
Responding to the Call
We must
wake up to the urgent and serious crisis. Most churches are asleep or in apostasy.
The world is rushing by on its way to hell, and yet our prayer meetings are
sparsely attended and lacking in fire and fervour. Most evangelical churches
engage in very little, or no evangelism. Missionary vision is weak and much
that is done in the name of "missions" has little to do with
fulfilling the Great Commission, "making disciples ...teaching
obedience..." To use some military terminology: Most of the Christian Army
in Europe is either on AWOL (absent without leave) or conscientious objectors.
The few faithful are often content to sing in the barracks instead of engaging
the enemy on the battlefield.
We are called to conquest. We must not merely survive, we
need to thrive. We are called to be MORE THAN CONQUERERS.
We must
conquer fear.
"God has not given us a spirit of fear - but of
power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Tim1:7
We must
conquer cowardice.
"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His
might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you maybe able to stand against the
wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:10-11
We must
conquer ignorance.
"My people are destroyed from lack of
knowledge." Hosea 4:6
We must
conquer unbelief.
We must "overcome the world" by our faith (1
John 5:4).
WHO IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE?
"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will
serve." Joshua 24:15
The Urgent Need
There has never been a more urgent need for Biblical
Reformation than now. Our Faith, our Freedoms, and our Families are at stake.
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen
those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." 2 Chronicles 16:9
We must win our enemies to Christ. David was a conqueror
because he killed Goliath. Jesus Christ was more than a conqueror because he
turned Saul the persecutor of the church into Paul the great Apostle of the
church. We are called to be more than conquerors. We must understand Islam and
we must evangelise Muslims.
"Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord." Philippians. 2:10-11
"The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the
glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk. 2:14
Victory over Islam
As Charles Martel in "The Hammer", stopped the
Muslim advance at the Battle of Tours, 732 AD, we need to rouse the church to evangelise
our Muslim neighbours and to stop the Muslim advance in Europe. As Christians
liberated Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Greece from centuries of oppression by
the Turks so we need to free our neighbours from the deception of Islam and
lead them to Christ.
Europe
must be won back to Christ. Europe for Christ!
"Restore
us, O God Almighty; make Your face shine upon us, that we may be saved."
Psalm 80:7
A Clear Choice
It is either:
§ GOD'S
LAW or SHARIA LAW
§ CHRISTIANITY
or ISLAM
§ REFORMATION
or ISLAMISATION
Let us wake up and get back to the Bible.... Fear God
alone and love God wholeheartedly... Let us work and pray for Reformation and
Revival... We must be more than conquerors and win our nations back to Christ!
