Then the Islamic jihadis took out knives and cut each man's head off. As blood mixed with salt water to create a grisly red tide, one of the militants issued a threat to all Westerners: "We will fight you all together. The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama Bin Laden's body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood." A recent wave of Islamic beheadings—videotaped and posted online—has reminded the world that ISIS and other ultra-violent Muslim groups are not going away. In 2014 ISIS warriors beheaded Syrian and Lebanese soldiers, American journalists, Japanese Christian journalist Kenji Goto, humanitarian aid workers and even children of Christian families. And now their terror has spread far beyond Syria. The terrorists claim to be carrying out the will of Allah, and they cite a passage in the Quran (47:4) to justify their brutality: "Therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers [in fight], smite at their necks." More peaceful Muslims have condemned the extreme behavior of ISIS, but this has not convinced the West that we aren't in danger of worse violence. The stream of blood we saw in 2014 may become a river this year. And Christians in the Middle East are the most vulnerable. So what can we do? Military action will likely become necessary, especially if the terror hits our shores. read more Prophecy Astonishing 1968 Prophecy by 90-Year-Old Woman It's been nearly 50 years, but are the waves in this woman's vision happening each and every day? 5:00PM EST 2/12/2015 advertisement Spiritual Growth 15 Traits of Wounded Warriors Until we as a church deal with the whole person as shown in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, our congregations will be filled with people who are spiritually gifted but act like emotional infants.
