Islam in China
As faithful
followers of Christ it is important that we don’t limit ourselves to studying
scriptures that make us feel good and are easy on the mind and sweet to the
belly; rather we need to study the hard sayings and events relating to this
time and age.
We do not sleep as others are
sleeping who are focusing on worldly affairs and on meaningless ideas. I have
heard too many so-called followers of Christ admit to the fact that they do not
study prophecy stating it is too hard for them to grasp. What a load of cheese!
Prophecy is an area that we all
should be studying so that day will not take you by surprise. But I will say
this, for those of you who fear exercising your brain—if you are truly not into
prophecy at least be aware of worldly events and how it may affect you and your
family in the near future.
Today I want to discuss Islam in China and I will keep it simple
and leave it up to you to do your due diligence. II Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
When most of us think about China, Islam
isn’t a word that would come shortly thereafter. Many of other things would
come to mind but not Islam.
Chinese Muslims can’t technically
attend the mosque until they are 18-years-old. This religion is growing at a
rapid pace. Islam has a long history in China dating as far back as the
year 650 when the uncle of Prophet Muhammad was said to being sent as an
official to China.
The government says there are 63
million Muslims in China
and researches say that number is increasing. Some researches are even declared
as many as 100 million; however, in China it’s your ethnic group that
defines whether or not you’re Muslim
I understand that this is old
news to some; however, it’s new news
for many. I also want to remind you that the Muslims are awaiting their Imam Mahdi which would be our Christian
anti-Christ. It is said that the Prophet
that comes with the Imam Mahdi would
be Jesus Christ, which would be the
Christian false prophet.
If that happens we know that they
would make all upon the earth worship Allah
the Christian beast, embrace Sharia
law and take the oath of allegiance,
which is referred to as bay’ah, the
infinitive of ba’a “to sell or buy”. The bay’ah
is a handshake sealing a contract.
They may wear a badge on the forehead for servitude and allegiance
to Allah. Then we could pretty much gather that the Dome of the Rock was the Abomination
of Desolation spoken of by Daniel
the Prophet.
Then you can begin counting the
days until Christ returns as Daniel instructed. Remember, not as date setters but as we read in Daniel 12:11-13. Thus you still will not
get the exact day and hour but a narrowed time according to prophecy.
It is about 200 mosques in North America
today. However, they are not called mosques
but rather community centers or cultural associations. Islam is growing and
growing and growing with 2.6 million living in the United States today.
It’s important to stay abreast on
events and have a few theories that you can put together. That means have
sensible theories not fly-by-night theories; theories that can come full circle
and make sense in all areas. Don’t simply rely on one theory and put all your
trust in the one theory. That way you
won’t be caught off guard when something else arises; thus, that day won’t take
you by surprise.
Don’t wait for this event to
happen and wait for this situation to occur because then that throws out the
scripture Luke 21:34, “And take heed
to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting,
(overeating) and drunknness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon
you unawares.” As well as Matthew 24:50,
“The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and
in an hour that he is not aware of.”
Many are waiting for a third
temple to be built thus saying, “Christ won’t return for another five years or
so.” Please don’t get on that bandwagon! That’s a dangerous road to travel for
you always are assuming that you have more time.
Be mindful and live your day as
if Christ will return today. And always remember you can live today and die
today. We are not promised tomorrow. Therefore, if we should die today that is
our rapture ready or not. So always remember that fact if you don’t remember
anything else. Remember, you can live today and die today. Those that die in
Christ will go into Abraham’s bosom (Luke
16:22), and that’s
what we want to strive for.
I see so many people planning for
this world and for things of this world. Some are planning 20 years or more
down the road. I have seen people 35-years-old planning for retirement. You
don’t hear too many people say, “I’m planning for the kingdom.” You don’t hear
that type of communication even from so-called Christians.
Many are busy shopping for this
and trying to catch the next sale. Sometimes I just want to ask—do you
understand the hour we are living in?
Are you watching the news and the news behind
the news? Even for those who are not Christians notice the times we are living
in and are preparing for that popped bubble.
Mark 13:35, “Watch ye therefore: for ye
know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in
the morning.”
