up to hear John Wimber and Paul Cain.Now remember Deuteronomy 18,Jeremiah 28, etc.: if somebody predictssomething in the name of the Lord thatdoesn’t happen, they’re a “nabiy sheqer”– they’re a false prophet. We don’t stonethem to death any more as the Torahdecrees, but the sin is no less serious.In the three years since the great revivalof John Wimber and Paul Cain,more mosques have been built in Englandthan churches. That is what’s happening.They’ll Become aThorn to YouIn Church of England schools it’s onething to teach about another religion, butthey’re engaging in social engineeringbased on New Age philosophy. They’retrying to take children at the most impressionableage (according to “EducationalPsychology”), ages 4 to about 11,and convey to them there’s a commonlegitimacy for all religions, all leadingthe same way, etc. They’re not teachingabout other religions, but are promotingall religions. If they honestly taught aboutother religions they would teach them thatother gods are demons (1 Co. 10:21) andJesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life,no one comes to the Father but by Him(John 14:6). But in schools – includingchurch schools funded by the state – ifyou say that, you’re considered a racist.I have corresponded with an Anglicanvicar whose parish has an evangelicalschool in London, in Walthamstow.They got rid of him because he beganreading the Quran in the church services,even though he is a professing evangelicalwho said he doesn’t consider Hinduismto be demonic. I wrote back to himquoting 1 Corinthians 10 and Deuteronomyand he wouldn’t or couldn’t dealwith it. They’ll become a thorn to you.I was assaulted by a gang of Muslimsat Speaker’s Corner in London. About 40of them attacked me and kicked the ladderout from under me. The only thing Iasked was, “If Allah is with you to giveyou victory in a jihad – holy war – thenhow come after six jihads 120 millionMuslims can’t beat 3 million Jews?”They took it personally. I also asked them,“How come you’re always carrying onabout what people are doing to Muslims,how come when King Hussein of Jordan– a Muslim himself – killed 20,000Palestinians during Black September in1970, nobody said a word?” They didn’tlike that either. So they attacked me.For those who don’t believe in freedom,don’t believe in democracy, don’tbelieve in the right to expression or opinion,they should go back to the Muslimworld where there are none of these freedoms.But instead, they come here andriot in front of the British Parliament – thebastion of British democracy, born outof the influences of biblical Christianity,on the foundation of the British government– and want to kill Salman Rushdiefor writing his book, The Satanic Verses.Muslim scholars have known aboutthe “Satanic Verses” for centuries.They’ve known that Mohammed saidthese three Arabian idols Lat, Uzza, andManat were actually birds of intercessionand he erased it. Muslim scholarshave known that for centuries. The onlything Rushdie did was to take somethingthat was known by Islamic scholars, totake it off a shelf of an Islamic library,and make it the title of a book. That’s allhe did. They’ll become a thorn to you.They’ll riot in your streets. They’ll tryto take over your schools. They’ll tell you,you can’t practice your religion. They’llmake laws where they can build mosquesall over this country, be funded by theirgovernment, but won’t allow you to builda single church in their country. And yourown government will kneel down and licktheir boots. They’ll become a thorn to you.I can take you through neighborhoodsin London where you can see Hindu temples,Sikh temples all over the place, morethan there are churches and more people gointo them. I can show you churches in Londonthat are boarded up and later re-openedas mosques. That’s what is happening.Here in Manchester on OxfordRoad is a gothic church: “The IslamicAcademy”. It used to be achurch. They’ll become a thorn to you.When you begin compromising,they become a thorn to you. Yousee that in Judges 2. That’s what ishappening in this country right now.Again, this is not against Muslims,it’s against Islam. The schoolsfinanced in the city of London, influencein the British government, influencein the Christian school system– all of it – they’ll become a snare to you.How to Fight ItNow what do we do about thisstuff? How has God ordained to fight it?Here’s one way that I wouldn’t recommend.Every time a bus of Christianpilgrims comes from the Bible Belt (partsof Midwestern America), they come toMount Carmel and Haifa and they surroundthe high place and they say, “I bindyou! I rebuke you, Satan! We cast thisTomb of the Bab, the Persian Gardens, intothe Mediterranean in the name of Jesus!”Continued: Feature ArticleWell, sorry to say, it’s still there. And thenthe next day, another bus of people arrivefrom Texas and does the same thing.How did Paul deal with it? Lookat the 17 th chapter of the book of Acts:Now while Paul was waiting for themat Athens, his spirit was being provokedwithin him as he was observing the cityfull of idols. So he was reasoning in thesynagogue with the Jews and the GodfearingGentiles, and in the market placeevery day with those who happened to bepresent. And also some of the Epicureanand Stoic philosophers were conversingwith him. Some were saying, “What wouldthis idle babbler wish to say?”......etc., etc., etc. And they took him andbrought him to the Areopagus, andthere he begins to preach the Gospel.If you’ve ever been to Athens, youcan stand on Mars Hill where the Areopaguswas and you can still look up and seethe ruins of the Acropolis, the Temple ofAthena. You can stand right where Paulwas and see where these demons, the idolsthat vexed him, were standing on MarsHill. You can stand right there to this dayand see what was vexing Paul’s spirit.What did Paul do about it? Did hedo his somersault, “I bind you! I rebukeyou!”? No! He preached theGospel. He preached the Gospel.I believe in prayer, in praying againstthese influences, that’s no problem.But when people go on with this “binding”and “loosing”, I don’t even thinkthey know what they’re talking about.Doing Our PartLet’s look once again at Daniel 10.Now as we’ve already read, verse 13...“But the prince of the kingdom of Persiawas withstanding me for twenty-onedays...OK? Now earlier in the chapter, in verse3 it reads...I did not eat any tasty food, nor didmeat or wine enter my mouth, nor did Iuse any ointment at all until the entirethree weeks were completed.“Three weeks” is how many days?How long was the prince of Persiawithstanding God’s messenger beforethe breakthrough came? Twenty-one.These things are principalities. They’repowerful, demonic forces. They’ve beenaround for centuries. Michael the Archangelhad to fight against them. It took theangels of God weeks to break through.Do you think that some clown fromTexas (God bless him) is going to comeJune 2007 • Moriel Quarterly
