***The following is a guest post for Why God? by Jim Vanne*** As many found out in the late 1930s, tyranny is always seeking its next conquest. We will most likely not be able to hide from the new leftist totalitarianism sweeping the planet, if we fail to confront it now. Yes, it may be that some out-of-the-way places might be less affected. As the socialist insanity of the Nazis swept Europe, perhaps being a Luxembourgian or Andorran was better than being a Jew in Poland, but as Churchill noted, this relative safety is really nothing more than hoping the crocodile eats you last. Fighting a crocodile no doubt is terrifying, and the felt reality is, as Frodo voiced to Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, when he realized he was now tasked with an all-but-impossible mission of taking his ring to Mordor, “I wish this need not have happened in my time.” Everyone who is called to great challenges, if they are sane, will feel the same way. But of course, courage is precisely when one doesn’t feel like it, and has no meaning unless fear is a real possibility, just as faith has no meaning unless doubt is a real, actual possibility. It is this choice between courage vs. fear, faith vs. doubt, action vs. inaction, that has now been arbitrarily placed on our doorstep, whether we wish it or not. Indeed, I wish this need not have happened in my time, either. (Read More.....)

There is nobody who is out of the reach of God. Not even the son of a prominent Hamas leader. Many of you have heard of the new book "Son Of Hamas" by now. It is the tale of a young man who was born into the family of a top Hamas leader. His whole life growing up was about radical Islam. But God got a hold of him. Eventually he became one of the most important spies Israel ever had. He also gave his life to Jesus Christ and became a Christian. Posted below is a recent interview with him on Fox News....

Dr Hormoz Phd a scientist tells about his his journey from Islam to Jesus Christ. Hormoz describes himself as an "independent thinker," he read the Koran, got some answers, but still felt empty. He came across a Bible and started to read that. At first he thought Jesus would be like the figure in the Koran, but the more he read it, the more he realized that "Jesus didn’t look like the prophet in the Koran." Jesus seemed strong and confident, he said. Hormoz was drawn to the teaching at the Sermon on the Mount, but found it the Sermon was nice but not practical. Who can live like that? "God used that," he says. "This convicted me. If this is the standard, we’re all sinners." Hormoz was in a tortuous state for some time. He couldn’t accept or not accept Christ. Hormoz started attending church and did accept Christ. Hormoz grew in the Lord and started a Bible study and by 1988 he started a church. Shockingly it doesn't end there! 
One of the most dramatic developments in prophecy is seen in what God is doing through Muslims throughout the Middle East and even in the United States. Many Muslims are seeing dreams and visions of Jesus. They are coming into churches explaining that they have already converted and now need a Bible and guidance on how to follow Jesus. This is in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward,that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,your old men shall dream dreams,and your young men shall see visions" This is what happening in these last days. Muslims Encountering Jesus In Unusual Dreams Reported that among African Muslims, "42 percent of the new believers come to Christ through visions, dreams, angelic appearances and hearing God's voice." Over one-fourth of those surveyed state quite emphatically that dreams and visions were key in drawing them to Christ and sustaining them through difficult times. Rick Love, International Director of Frontiers, has recognized the pattern as well. He writes that, "Just as God used a vision to convert Paul, in like manner He reveals Himself to Muslims through dreams and visions. Just as God prepared Cornelius to hear the Gospel through a vision, so God is preparing a multitude of Muslims to respond to His good news." 
By far, the most compelling reason that a great number of other religious faiths turn their lives over to Christ is the power of love that is within Jesus. Nearly half of all Muslims who have made a shift of faith allegiance have affirmed that the love of God was a critical key in their decision. A testimony of a former Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist finds the master he was searching for. 
Most people think of Christianity and Judaism as two completely different religions. But this was never intended to be the case. In fact, not only did all of the early apostles consider them to be one and the same thing, but Jesus Christ Himself stated that He was a fulfillment and a continuation of God's covenant.
