NYT: Islamic State volunteers are doubling


Islamic State Terrorists

COGwriter

The New York Times is reporting that the number of recruits for the Islamic State has basically doubled:

September 26, 2015

WASHINGTON — Nearly 30,000 foreign recruits have now poured into Syria, many to join the Islamic State, a doubling of volunteers in just the past 12 months and stark evidence that an international effort to tighten borders, share intelligence and enforce antiterrorism laws is not diminishing the ranks of new militant fighters.

Among those who have entered or tried to enter the conflict in Iraq or Syria are more than 250 Americans, up from about 100 a year ago, according to intelligence and law enforcement officials.

President Obama will take stock of the international campaign to counter the Islamic State at the United Nations on Tuesday, a public accounting that comes as American intelligence analysts have been preparing a confidential assessment that concludes that nearly 30,000 foreign fighters have traveled to Iraq and Syria from more than 100 countries since 2011. A year ago, the same officials estimated that flow to be about 15,000 combatants from 80 countries, mostly to join the Islamic State.

That grim appraisal coincides with the scheduled release on Tuesday of a six-month, bipartisan congressional investigation into terrorist and foreign fighter travel, which concludes that “despite concerted efforts to stem the flow, we have largely failed to stop Americans from traveling overseas to join jihadists.”

Other parts of the Obama administration’s policies on Syria and for combating the Islamic State have suffered significant setbacks, as well.

A $500 million Pentagon effort to train rebel forces to take on the Islamic State in Syria has produced only a handful of fighters. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/world/middleeast/thousands-enter-syria-to-join-isis-despite-global-efforts.html

The Obama Administration spent $500 million and ended up with maybe five fighters in Syria.  I heard that also on the radio a few days ago.  While some believe that the USA is winning the battle against terrorism, that is not quite the case.

The Islamic State is a terrorist organization and has had growing influence.

The Bible shows that terrorism is prophesied:

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:14-17)

25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)

12 “Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh. (Ezekiel 21:12)

12 Behold, these are the ungodly,Who are always at ease; They increase in riches…19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. (Psalms 73:12,19)

25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, 27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. (Proverbs 1:25-27)

5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way (Ecclesiastes 12:5).

I should also add that some terrorism will continue and affect the USA, but the time will come that it will likely be reduced for a few years related to the deal of Daniel 9:27 (see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27). And I believe that the Islamic State itself will one day either be defeated or at least changed in a major way some other prophecies can be fulfilled related to the rise of the final King of the South of  Daniel 11:27).

Yet, but later it is likely that terrorism will hit the USA and its British-descended allies harder after a deal made in Psalm 83:2-8 and perhaps also the one of Daniel 11:27 (which could be related).

The USA , directly and indirectly, has taken steps which led to the rise of the Islamic State. The rise of that terrorist group was an ‘unintended consequence’ as far as the US government is concerned.

Also, the USA has announced that it will take a couple of hundred thousand people basically claiming to be refugees because of the Islamic State.

While many will be fine people, consider that a recent study found that over 1/2 the Muslims already in the USA would like to see Sharia law (Islamic law) implemented in the USA:

51 percent of U.S. Muslims prefer Shariah

There are now an estimated 3 million Muslims residing in the United States as citizens or with permanent legal status, and more than 250,000 new Muslim residents enter the U.S. per year as refugees, on work visas and student-based visas, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

A poll commissioned in May 2015 by the Center for Security Policy showed that 51 percent of American Muslims preferred that they should have their own Shariah courts outside of the legal system ruled by the U.S. Constitution. And nearly a quarter believed the use of violent jihad was justified in establishing Shariah.

“That would translate into roughly 300,000 Muslims living in the United States who believe that Shariah is ‘The Muslim God Allah’s law that Muslims must follow and impose worldwide by Jihad,'” writes Frank Gaffney Jr., president of the Center for Security Policy. (http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/poll-most-u-s-muslims-would-trade-constitution-for-shariah/).

This, plus taking in massive amounts of additional Muslim migrants, does not bode well for the USA.

Furthermore, most who will come to the USA will have some type of ties to the lands that they left.  In time, they may wish to help those of their homelands.

People from those homelands are prophesied to affect the end time descendants of Israel.

Related to Psalm 83, consider also the following:

Turn to the astounding prophecy found in Psalm 83:1-8. David, inspired of God, predicted the coming time when ALL of Israel’s enemies would join together in an effort to crush out even the name “Israel” from the face of the earth! (Verse 4) “For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee…” (verse 5). Notice the nations making up this confederation. “Edom [Turkey], and the Ishmaelites [Saudi Arabia]; Moab [Jordan], and the Hagarenes [they anciently dwelt in the land known as Syria today]; Gebal {Lebanon}, and Ammon [Jordan] and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur [whose descendants migrated to Germany] is joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot” {Moab and Ammon in modern Jordan). Here we see that the Arab nations mentioned are allied with Germany (Assur) (Boraker R. SYRIA RAIDS ISRAEL – Where Is It Leading? Plain Truth. November 1966)

Many nations make no bones about their connections to terrorist groups. Syria, Libya, Iraq and South Yemen all see no objection in directly aiding terrorism. (Taylor D. TERRORISM the Worst Is Yet to Come! Plain Truth, May 1984)

In a nutshell, let me state that because of biblical prophecies, actions and inactions by the USA government, the rise of the Islamic State, and the agreement to take in what appears to be hundreds of thousands of Islamic refugees in the USA, that the time will come when the West will more fully support the rise of the final King of the South and some migrants to the USA will support massive terrorism that will hit the USA.

The USA is becoming at greater risk of terrorism. For a time we will continue to see the rise of the so-called Islamic State.

The prophecies in the Bible are coming to pass and many are not positive as far as the USA is concerned.
