Letters to the Editormom there.) When leaving, Mairbek said,‘May God keep/protect you’, and I toldhim that Jesus loved him; Mairbek alsoreminded me not to open the door at night.Please pray for:• God’s blessing on the English, guitar,and Bible-reading times I’m leading• The Lord to comfort Vika and her dad,Tamik, on the loss of Zina (Vika’s momand Tamik’s wife)• Svyeta and her husband,Valiko thatGod will draw them to Jesus, and comfort them with His love• And please pray for my cousins, the Nicolette family. My 18 year-old cousin, John,was killed in a skateboarding accident onthe morning of his last day of high school.John was holding on to the side of a Jeepwhen he fell off his board and sufferedsevere damage to his head. Please prayfor his mom and dad, and his youngersister. Please also pray for the studentwho was driving the Jeep, as he now has tolive the rest of his life with this on his conscience. This is especially tragic for the Nicolette family since the father (also namedJohn) lost his own father not too long ago.Thank you for all of your prayers, love,and support in this ministry,In Jesus our Hope and Peace,jason, jalazone7@yahoo.comTrust in YHWH with all your heart.Proverbs 3:5Dear Friends:Ebyown Childrens Home is situatedin South Africa 65 km outside Johannesburg,currently we have 9 children but thiswill increase shortly to 15 children shortly.All the children have special needsand range in age from 1-10, while Lyn isexperienced with pre-school she is in needof someone to help with the older children.The curriculum used :KonosLaltlMathsuseeFootprints over AfricaWe are looking for an energeticperson who is zelous for the Lord,has teaching experience and willingto give at least 2 years to the children.The missionary must be sponsoredalthough we can provide accommodation,food and a friendlyfamily working environment.If anyone is interested please applyto Dave Royle at thelion@mweb.co.za44 Moriel Quarterly • June 2007Baghdad, IraqYour Letters ...-I have been working in Iraq for 3 1/2years. A friend asks, “Any hope in Iraq; isit any different”?Shia killing Suni and vise versa; justmore pronounced. Where there is Islam,there are problems. Consider most of thewars & conflicts in the world have Islamdirectly or indirectly related to them. Themost blessed countries are God honoringcountries. The Middle East had to haveWestern knowledge and technology to remove& refine oil products and bring themfrom the Stone Age to the jet age. Islam,though peaceful in the US will not continueto be peaceful. Eventually, they willgrow in number and start to influence legislationand take over government activities.Islam will try to enslave Americans& Europeans into its deceptive, oppressiverules and interpretations. They willattempt to take freedom from every countrythey inhabit. Islam’s end goal is worlddomination and conversion of this world’sinhabitants. Muhammad started Islamwith the sword and Islam WILL End withthe sword at the “Battle of Armageddon”.After reading 2/3 of the Koran, it becameclear it is a book full of war and commandsand examples to kill, expel or oppressnon-Muslims. They have taken theTestament of the Jews (Christians call theOld Testament) and incorporated there interpretationto accommodate their beliefsin the Koran; “There is a way that seemsright to a man but the end is the way ofdestruction; eternal loss (Proverbs 14:12).They have peaceful verses that keepthe ignorant and unlearned off balance,therefore, unaware of its true intents.Muslims say the Koran is a holy book thatmust be kept in the original language forthe true meaning. The only book that isholy is the Word of God who “became aman and dwelt among us” (John 1:10-14),“Who died once, for all” (1 Peter 3:18)and “Without the shedding of His Blood,there is no remission (forgiveness) of sins”(Hebrews 9:22). Without Jesus, this worldis “Lost and without hope” (Ephesians2:12) and that includes Muslims, Europeansand Americans claiming Christianitywith-out asking Jesus to come into theirlives (Romans 10:9-10). In the book ofRevelation, the saints/Christians are be-headed for their faith (Revelation 20:4).The Middle East still practices this formof the death penalty and they will continueit during the time of the Tribulation.Is this offensive to the Muslim community?This applies to anyone, anywherein the world. How many times did Jesus& John call the “Religious” leaders,scribes...etc, snakes, vipers, graves full ofdead men’s bones, hiding the truth fromthose who are seeking it, Jesus saying theyare children of the devil, who was a liarfrom the beginning and a murder (John8:44). Every person, not matter what theirbeliefs are, that has lived throughout eternitypast, present and future will have oneevent in common, “Every knee shall bow& every tongue shall confess that JesusChrist is Lord” (Romans 14:11). For thesaved, they will bow to Christ as theirsavior, the lost will bow to Christ as theirJudge at the Great White Throne Judgment(Revelation 20:11-14). God gave all a freewill. Judas was not predestined to betrayChrist and be lost; he became a trader, hemade his choice (Luke 6:16. NKJ version).The only “Predestination” taughtin the Bible is “Whoever shall call on thename of the Lord shall be saved. Thosewho call on Jesus are predestined foreternal life. The decision for Christ is anINDIVIDUAL choice.The USA had its battle for independence& and more than 500,000 died in theCivil War that eventually made the USA“One Nation under GOD”. The price washigh but out of that destruction came thegreatest nation to ever exist. The US is themost powerful and advanced country thatcontributes more than any nation to makethis world a better place. If Iraq has a CivilWar that results in freedom, then theirchildren will enjoy the freedoms their parentsfought and sacrificed their lives for.H.International Zone, Baghdad, IraqL e t t e r s t o t h eE D I T O R
