Islam in China



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.”

Rapture of God's People

Remember the Month Abib The Gathering of God’s People Exodus 12:42, “It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations:” Exodus 13:4; 9, “This day came ye out in the month Abib. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.” Exodus 34:18, “…for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.” Deuteronomy 16:1, “Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.” Biblically speaking we know that God wanted the children of Israel to remember and observe the month Abib. And when the Bible makes reference to Egypt it is referring to the literal country and also spiri...

The Ways of Satan

Understanding the Ways of Satan Know the Enemy A lot of believers in Jesus have very little to no knowledge of the enemy who we refer to as Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, or the evil one. We read in the gospels how Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the tempter (devil) in Matthew 4:3-11. “And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou ye the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of god, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh hi...
