A new video released on March 13, 2010, by the online jihad forum group Ansar Al-Mujahideen has called for more violence against Christians in Nigeria. The Arabic language video is titled "A New Wound: Nigeria."
This video makes the statement that Nigeria is an important Islamic battleground and puts forth their belief that “jihad” (holy war) against Nigerian Christians is the only reasonable answer to address a growing Christian influence in the country.
This threat comes on the heels of the massacre of hundreds of Christians, many of them women and children, near the town of Jos, in central Nigeria.
According to the Ansar Al-Mujahideen, "Negotiations, dialogues and protests will not stop the advancement of the enemies and their massacres." He goes on to say, "Nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear."
Despite news reports of violence aimed against Christians around the world, the mainstream American “Church” continues to teach that believers will be “raptured” before they will have to face martyrdom. This escapist doctrine is not in line with what we were promised by Christ as the end times approach:
John 16:2
...yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Luke 21:16
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
These are but a few of the signs we were told to expect that precede the final return of Christ to planet earth. Christ referred to a time of great tribulation.
A prudent believer will take this to heart and ready himself. The foolish will ignore these signs.
You have been warned.
