Domino effect: unrest spreads to Lebanon

February 11, 2012 – LEBANON – At least two people have been killed in the Lebanese city of Tripoli in clashes between supporters and opponents of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, security officials say. At least 12 people were injured, as the two sides fired guns and rocket-propelled grenades at each other. The violence erupted after Friday prayers and continued overnight. Tensions in the northern port city have mounted since the beginning of the uprising in Syria last March. Residents said the RPGs were fired from the Sunni Muslim district of Bab al-Tabbana towards the Alawite district of Jabal Muhsin on Friday. Footage by Reuters TV also showed gunmen taking cover on street corners and firing volleys of automatic gunfire. Lebanese troops were later deployed in both districts, the army said in a statement. It added that several soldiers were among the injured. Tripoli is dominated by Sunni Muslims, who support the anti-Assad uprising in Syria. Mr Assad is an Alawite, and members of the minority sect – an offshoot of Shia Islam – occupy key positions in the Syrian government and security forces. –BBC

What have been happening in many Muslim countries is very distrubing. Many of these countries’ governments are being toppled, to be replaced by a government that is headed by religious right–controlled by fundamentalist religious groups with a puppet leader, similar to Iran. The Muslims have their version of a messiah, called Madhi, which is said to be the future 12th Imam. It doesn’t take much imagination to think that someone would rise to leadership and unite all these Muslim countries into a powerful force that will conquer the world. This is a perfect picture of the Antichrist– a leader that is able to rally millions, and is of a religion that contradicts the Christ’s message of love and goodwill. They are currently on 11th Imam…so the time is very soon.

  There is no vicar of God on Earth amongst any of these religious leaders and the world needs to stop following these antichrists in all religions. Christ’s place was found as the naked servant washing the disciples feet with the towel wherewith he girded himself, beginning with Judas, the man who would betray him. The High and Holy Lofty One of Israel, whom even the gates of the city of New Jerusalam cry “Holy, Holy, Holy” devoted his life in humility to the service of mankind, healing the sick, proclaiming the gospel, loosening the captives of sin, and uplifting the spirits of the broken-hearted. That the King of Glory, who laid out the worlds, would stoop so low in humbleness of service is a stearn rebuke in the very face of the satanic pride, arrogance, and positions of power for which men contend and which toppled the angles’ first estate in heaven. Christ’s message was one of peace and love, and was at no time a challenge to power structure of Rome, which held the land of Palenstine in an untentable iron grip. Look into the corrupt temples of this world guarded by guns and bullets, the world’s lush palaces, its gilded basilicas where throngs are mesmerized into submission, the world’s crowded groves laden with idols, and you will not find the spirit of Christ amongst any of these earthly institutions. They are the habitations of devils.
  
  Christ resides in the meek and lowly heart subdued by love.

    The Word of God, The Holy Bible is the only true source. Follow it and you will not be lead astray. Religion was created by man to rule the masses. Matthew 23:8-9. 8) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
    9) And call NO man your father upon the earth: for ONE is your Father, which is in heaven. He is the only one who can forgive your sins through His Son Jesus Christ. ONLY HIM. No one else in in the Bible can answer your prayers or forgive your sins. Read it for yourself. God is where two or three gather in His name, He never meant for his children to be rounded up by corporate “churches”, and forced to follow man made doctrines!
    Beware of all religions that require you to NOT follow the Word of God as it was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Read the Word; start with the book of John. This is what I call the Good News section.
    I am NOT attacking any ones religion of beliefs, just saying what the Holy Word of God says for the Christian. Humble yourself to the Lord, Pray for Love and Peace to ALL men, even thy enemies.
    No disrespect for all other religions or beliefs, for many believes in their hearts in theirs also.
    God be with us ALL.
