"You shall neither

mistreat a stranger nor oppress him,

for you were strangers in the land of

Egypt."

Exodus 22:21

Page 5: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

What are the facts and forces

behind this refugee crisis?

Page 6: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

What does the future hold?

How should we as Christians respond?

Page 7: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The main thing is to keep the main the main thing. Our greatest priority on earth is to love God with all of our heart, soul,

mind and strength, and to love our neighbour as our self.

Priorities

Page 8: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). The Great Commission must be our supreme

ambition. "All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.

Page 9: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching

them to observe all things that I have commanded you…" Matthew 28:18-20. Christ's last Command must be our first concern.

Page 10: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Obviously, Christians need to respond with love and compassion for genuine refugees and seek to not only show practical love in action,

meeting immediate needs of those who have lost everything, but effectively evangelise and disciple nations. All nations.

Prayer and Action

Page 11: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

As our Lord Jesus Christ declared:

"My house shall be a house of prayer for all nations."

Page 12: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

This requires us to "understand the times" (1 Chronicles 12:32) in order to know what we ought to do. There is no virtue in gullibility and we

need to be wise stewards of what the Lord has entrusted to us.

Understand the Times

Page 13: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It has been pointed out that the Boston Bombers were refugees.

Page 14: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

However, hospitality to strangers is a Biblical command. "If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you

shall help them, like a stranger or a sojourner." Leviticus 25:35

Page 15: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The Lord makes it clear that we are to be His witnesses,

both in our own Jerusalem, and our Judea (a similar culture close by), our Samaria (a different culture not too far away)

and to the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Love in Action

Page 16: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We are to cross borders, to let the earth hear His voice, to proclaim God's Word to the nations, to put feet to our faith, to express the love

of Christ in practical actions, on the ground,

where people are, meeting desperate needs.

Page 17: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The Lord describes the Day of Judgement not so much in terms of the evil that we have done, serious though that is,

but in terms of the good that we failed to do.

Unto the Least of These

Page 18: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food;

I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not cloth Me, sick and in prison

and you did not visit Me." Matthew 25:41-43.

Page 19: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

To know the good that we ought to do and to not do it is sin

(James 4:17).

Page 20: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

By God's grace, there are hundreds of thousands of Christian missionaries reaching out throughout the world, in remote villages,

in refugee camps, in conflict areas, on the streets and in informal settlements.

Putting Feet to Our Faith

Page 21: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

There are a tremendous multitude of bold and Biblical initiatives to reach the unreached and care for the needy.

Page 22: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

In prisons and in hospitals, Christians are ministering to the sick,

the lonely, the aged, the downtrodden, those trapped in alcohol and drug addictions, and those fleeing from violence and oppression.

We need to put feet to our faith.

Page 23: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The most effective sermon illustration is the life of integrity of a Christian neighbour, friend or stranger, who is sacrificially serving in

difficult situations meeting urgent needs and showing the love of Christ, by what they say and by what they do.

Page 24: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The world before Christ was a world without hospitals,

a world without charity,

and a world without respect

for the sanctify of life.

Caring for the Sick

and Needy

Page 25: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Hospitals were an innovation of Christianity. Hence the healing symbol of a cross represents hospitals. The nursing profession was

founded by Christians such as Florence Nightingale, out of devotion for Christ.

Page 26: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

One of history's greatest humanitarian movements, the International Red Cross, was founded by Evangelical Christians in response to the

Scriptural injunctions to care for the sick and suffering.

Page 27: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The whole concept of charity was

a Christian innovation.

Kindness to strangers was unknown before Christ.

The teachings and example of Jesus Christ

inspired the greatest acts of generosity, hospitality,

self-sacrifice

and service for the poor, sick and needy,

for over 2000 years.

Page 28: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Great Britain, for example, has spent more than £900 million to aid Syrian refugees since 2012, with food, tents, medicine and other

humanitarian aid.

Serving the Suffering

Page 29: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Christian missions have provided vast quantities of practical aid on the ground for refugees in Iraq and Syria fleeing ISIS terrorists.

Page 30: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Samaritans Purse, for example, provided 20,000 blankets,

3800 baskets of food, 5000 pillows, 7500 mattresses,

Page 31: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

4500 pairs of shoes and tons of other aid to refugees

in Iraq last year.

Page 32: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Over the years, our Mission, Frontline Fellowship,

Ensuring that Aid Reaches the Needy

Page 33: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

has trained medics, established clinics,

Page 34: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

trained farmers and delivered tons of food,

Page 35: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

medicines and boxes-with-love to pensioners, prisoners, pastors,

and others suffering in conflict areas for their Faith.

Page 36: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

medicines and boxes-with-love to pensioners, prisoners, pastors, and others suffering in conflict areas for their Faith.

Page 37: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Church and mission based relief is not only more efficient

Page 38: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

and cost effective than that provided by governments

and United Nations agencies,

Page 39: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

but also inspires greater personal responsibility

Page 40: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

and economic productivity.

Page 41: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Person to person, family to family,

Page 42: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

congregation to congregation, mission to community,

Page 43: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

love in action aid, is not only most cost effective,

Page 44: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

but involves more accountability and gives people a hand up,

Page 45: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

rather than just a handout.

Page 46: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Foreign aid through governments not only increases dependence, but fosters an attitude of entitlement and greed and inevitably leads to

widespread wastage, abuse and corruption.

Abuse and Corruption

Page 47: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The vast quantities of food, fruit, juices and other high quality, expensive, aid provided to Muslim migrants arriving in Europe being thrown away untouched, is evidence of the unworkable wastage of

state welfare.

Page 48: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 49: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Kamil Bulonis, a Polish writer, observed on the Italian – Austrian border 5 September 2015: "This huge mass of people…are absolute

savages… vulgar, throwing bottles, shouting loudly

'We want to go to Germany!'…

An Eyewitness Account of Violent

Refugees

Page 50: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

They surrounded a car of an elderly Italian woman, pulled her by her hair out of the car and wanted to drive away in the car. They tried to

overturn the bus I travelled in myself with a group of others.

Page 51: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

They were throwing faeces at us, banging on the doors to force the driver to open them, spat at the windscreen… the bus is damaged, covered with faeces, scratched, with broken windows… among the

refugees there were virtually no women,

Page 52: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

no children – the vast majority were aggressive young men…

cars arrived with humanitarian aid – mainly food and water

and they were just overturning those cars…

Page 53: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 54: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

they opened the luggage hatches of a French bus – and everything that was inside was stolen within a short time… never in my life have I had

an opportunity to see such scenes and I feel that this is just the beginning…"

"These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan (He did this only to teach

warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)… they were left to test the Israelites to see if they

would obey the Lord's commands…" Judges 3:1-2

Page 68: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 69: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 70: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 71: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Those of us who have invited drug addicts, alcoholics, the homeless and young mothers going through a crisis pregnancy, into our homes, have all too often been rewarded by theft and damage to property.

Even abuse of children.

Caution is Needed

Page 72: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

First Aid responders need to wear masks and gloves to protect themselves from infection. As they remind us on aircraft, first place on your own oxygen mask before attempting to assist other passengers.

The reason is that you cannot help anyone else if you yourself are unconscious.

Page 73: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It is natural that Christians want to help those in a crisis.

That is what Christians have always done.

We seek to be good Samaritans, to reach out to those in need.

Hijrah Hijacking

Page 74: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

However, there are those warning us that what we are facing is not a refugee crisis, but a Hijrah. Hijrah, jihad by emigration, is to move to a

new land in order to take Islam there.

Page 75: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Hijrah is to emigrate for the cause of Allah. In Islam, Hijrah is considered to be a highly meritorious act. The Quran

declares: "And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations in abundance."

Page 76: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

A senior Imam, Sheik Muhammad Ayed, speaking at the Al-aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, declared that Muslims must use the migrant

crisis to "breed with Europeans" and "conquer their countries."

Breed to Conquer Europe

Page 77: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"We will breed children with them because

we shall conquer their countries" and

"trample them under foot, Allah willing."

Page 78: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, of Hungary, has declared:

"We are not facing a refugee crisis, we are facing a migration crisis …let us not forget that those who are arriving have been raised

in another religion, and represent a radically different culture.

Threat to Christian Survival

Page 79: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Most of them are not Christians, but Muslims.

This is an important question, because Europe

and European identity is rooted in Christianity.

Page 80: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Is it not worrying in itself that European Christianity is now barely able to keep Europe Christian? If we lose sight of this, the idea of Europe

could become a minority interest in its own continent."

Page 86: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Prime Minister Robert Fico, of Slovakia, observed: "Since Slovakia is a Christian country, we cannot tolerate an influx of 300,000 to 400,000 Muslim immigrants who would like to start building Mosques all over

our land and trying to change the nature, culture and values of the state… if we do not start telling the truth about migration, we will

never move from this spot."

Islamisation Threatens Europe

Page 87: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

British author, Peter Hitchens, has written:

"We will not save refugees by destroying our own country.

Actually we cannot do what we like with this country.

Betraying Future Generations

Page 88: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We inherited it from our parents and grandparents and we have a duty to hand it on to our children and grandchildren, preferably improved

and certainly undamaged.

Page 89: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We cannot just give it away

to complete strangers

on an impulse

because it makes us feel good about ourselves…

Thanks to a 1000 years of uninvaded peace,

we have developed

astonishing levels of trust,

safety

and freedom…

Page 90: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

I am amazed at how relaxed we are about giving this away…

Mass immigration means we adapt to them,

when they should be adapting to us…

Page 91: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

So now, on the basis of an emotional spasm, dressed up as generosity, are we going to abandon this legacy and decline our obligation to pass it on, like the enfeebled, wastrel heirs of an ancient inheritance letting

the great house and estate go to ruin?

Page 92: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

I can see neither sense nor justice in allowing these things to become a pretext for an unstoppable demographic revolution in which Europe

merges its culture and economy with North Africa and the Middle East.

Page 93: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

If we let this happen, Europe would lose almost all the things which make others want to live

here."

Page 94: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said that the United Kingdom must not only act with the heart, but also with the head.

Help Them in Their Own Lands

Page 95: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

He pointed out that Britain, more than any other country, is helping the refugees with direct aid in the Middle East.

Page 96: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

He also notes that Britain is currently not only fighting terrorism, but coping with the problem of

economic migrants and humanitarian problems caused by them.

Page 97: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

However, in Brussels, the self-proclaimed capital of Europe, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, insisted

that immigration from Muslim countries is a solution to Europe's demographic decline.

Demographic Decline

Page 98: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"Let us not forget, we are an aging continent in demographic decline…Europe has made the mistake in the past of distinguishing

between Jews, Christians and Muslims. There's no religion, no belief and no philosophy when it comes to refugees."

Page 99: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Here we see the philosophy of the EU globalists. The sharp decline of the birth rate of Europeans has been a direct result of the aggressive population control tactics, massive propaganda of overpopulation,

Demographic Engineering

Page 100: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

promoting birth control, abortion, sterilisations and euthanasia.

Page 101: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The demographic decline referred to by the EU official

is a direct result of the

EU's core policies!

Now the massive influx of Muslim immigrants into

Europe is being orchestrated to bring about a

transformation of Europe into Eurabia.

Page 102: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The subverting of stable governments in Africa, Asia

and South America, and bringing about economic

collapses,

has stimulated a vast movement of refugee

populations into Europe, North America,

South Africa and Australia.

Page 103: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

By dramatically decreasing populations of those countries traditionally Christian, and exploding the populations of other races, the goal is a

dramatic change in demographics and the death of the West.

The Death of the West

Page 104: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Although unemployment is rampant within the European Union, especially among young Europeans, Juncker has said "I am strongly in

favour of allowing refugees to work from day one of their arrival in Europe."

Page 105: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The sharp decline of the birth rate of Europeans and the massive influx of Muslim immigrants into Europe is being orchestrated to bring about

a transformation of Europe into Eurabia.

Page 106: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The goal in all of this is a world population more amenable to manipulation and control by the globalists to be railroaded into their New World Order.

Page 107: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Promoting birth control,

abortion, sterilisations

Page 108: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

the globalists have been involved in

demographic engineering,

Page 109: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

dramatically bringing down the populations of Europeans and Americans.

Page 110: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Then, by betraying stable governments in Africa, Asia and South America, and bringing about economic collapses,

Page 111: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

a vast movement of refugee populations have been stimulated into Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia.

Page 112: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

President Milos Zeman of the Czech Republic declared that no one had invited these migrants to his country, but once they arrive, they must

respect the laws of the host country, or leave.

Respect our Laws

Page 113: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

In Denmark, Andreas Kamm, the Secretary General of the Danish Refugee Council, warned that the current refugee crisis could lead to a

total collapse of European society.

Total Collapse of Europe

Page 114: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Kamm declared: "Europe is facing a total Armageddon scenario…

we are experiencing a historical imbalance between the very high numbers of refugees and migrants, and the global capacity to provide

them with protection and assistance.

Page 115: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The answer cannot be that Europe imports surplus populations.

We cannot be required to destroy our own society."

Page 116: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Danish Minister of Finance, Claus Frederiksen said: "I am most indignant over the Arab countries who are rolling in money and who

only take very few refugees. Countries like Saudi Arabia. It is completely scandalous."

Scandalous Hypocrisy

Gulf States reaction to refugees and rebels

Page 131: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Many have pointed out that Saudi Arabia has a well organised tent city

of 100,000 air conditioned and fire proof tents which can comfortably accommodate 3 million people and which is only used for a couple of weeks each year for pilgrims coming on the Hajj.

Page 132: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

3 Million refugees could easily be housed in the tent city outside Mecca. However, to date, Saudi Arabia is not known to have taken in a

single refugee from Syria.

Page 133: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 134: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The German Interior Minister, Thomas De Maiziere, has observed

"the migration crisis presents a formidable challenge.

Enormous Burden

Page 135: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It is bigger than any of us have previously thought – socially, politically, economically, culturally… now we will get hundreds of thousands of

Muslims with an Arab background… between 15 and 20% of the adult migrants are illiterate."

Page 136: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 137: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Josef Joffe, publisher of Die Zeit, has written that the government seems completely oblivious to the long term consequences of

importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

Revolutionary Long Term Consequences

Page 138: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

He asked if Germany was now meant to turn into

"a country of immigration, accepting different colours,

faiths and origins. So Germany is evolving into a kind of America, where you need not be born an American, but can become one.

It is a mental and emotional revolution."

Page 139: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

When the flood of Muslim refugees have finally settled down in their new homes, Germany could unexpectedly find itself housing the

continent's largest Muslim minority.

Page 140: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Most of those who are being called Syrian refugees are in fact not from Syria. Germany expects 800,000 Muslim refugees this year.

Page 141: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

A German reporter, Jurgen Todonhofer, who successfully imbedded with the Islamic State has reported in "Inside I.S. – Ten Days in Islamic

State" that: "The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people.

Nuclear Terrorism Tsunami Planned

Page 142: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The West is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS." ISIS is planning nuclear annihilation

across the globe:

"A nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in

history."

Page 143: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

According to MuslimPopulation.com, Europe already has three countries with a majority Muslim population: Albania (79%), Bosnia

(60%) and Kosovo (90%).

How Many Muslims are in Europe?

Page 144: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

France has 6 million Muslims (9.6%). Germany has 4 million Muslims (5%). 13% of Bulgaria are Muslim, 34% of Macedonia. 4.9% of Sweden

and 5.7% of Switzerland. 4.6% of the United Kingdom is Muslim.

Page 145: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Muslims currently make up a total population of 56 million in Europe, 7.6% of the population. That is excluding Turkey who are applying to

be accepted into the European Union.

Page 146: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

British MEP Janice Atkinson has declared:

"This is not a refugee crisis, but a massive crisis of illegal immigration which must be resisted for what it is."

Illegal Migrants Threaten Europe

Page 147: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Nigel Farage of UKIP has declared to the BBC: "Genuine refugees have tended to be groups of people, ethnic groups or religious groups who

are directly under persecution and fleeing in fear of their lives.

Page 148: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The problem we have right now if you look at the definition of the EU's Common Asylum Policy, it includes anyone… even people fleeing

poverty."

Page 149: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

US Ambassador John Bolton has warned "spreading terrorism, armed conflict and collapsing political authority in the Middle East" are

causing this present crisis.

Overwhelming Terrorism Threat

Page 150: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"Europe is being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of people on the move, thereby losing control of the decisions of who to admit and who

to turn away. These concerns are legitimate. There is a serious and rising Islamic terrorist threat hidden within the tides of people seeking

refuge."

Page 151: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Arthur Chrenkoff

In the New York Observer has written:

"Europe is experiencing a mass movement of people

not seen since the aftermath of the

Second World War.

Unprecedented

Flood of

Migrants

Page 152: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Unlike the end of the war, however, none of the

masses currently on the move are European.

Page 153: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

As hundreds of thousands of people continue to arrive on Europe's doorsteps and throng her roads and railway lines… the majority of the immigrants who have arrived in Europe so far this year are not Syrians.

Page 154: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Less than a third are, with the rest originating in a miscellany of African, Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. The majority seem

to be single, healthy looking, young men…"

Page 155: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Daniel Greenfield of the Freedom Centre writes: "The Syrian refugee crisis that the media bleats about is not a crisis. And the Syrian refugees they champion are often neither Syrians nor refugees.

Fraudulent

Page 156: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Fake Syrian passports are cheaper than an EU politician's virtue and easier to come by.

Page 157: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Just about anyone who speaks enough Arabic to pass the scrutiny of a European bureaucrat can come with his two wives and take a turn at

the carousel of a welfare state… to bring the Muslim terrorists of tomorrow to our towns and cities.

Page 158: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

And their gratitude will be as short lived as our budget.

Page 159: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"A head of a UNHCR camp called these refugees 'the most difficult refugees I have ever seen… in Italy, Muslim African refugees rejected

pasta and demanded food from their own countries…

Difficult and Demanding

Page 160: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

also mobile phone charging stations so that the destitute refugees can check on their Facebook accounts. It had to be done because the

refugees in Italy were throwing rocks at the police while demanding free Wi-Fi.

Page 161: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

There is a tawdry sense of entitlement of the Muslim refugee that the media champions.'"

Page 162: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Greenfield gives the example of refugees receiving thousands of Dollars of benefits, and living in air conditioned quarters, being

ungrateful and having a sense of entitlement.

Arrogant Entitlement

Page 163: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"He hasn't worked, paid for, or thanked anyone for, any of it. And why should he? He is entitled to it by virtue of his superiority as a Muslim

and our inferiority as infidels. There is no sense of gratitude.

Page 164: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Only constant demands, as if the people who drove out their own Christians have some moral claim on the charity of the Christians of

the West."

Page 165: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 166: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 167: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 168: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"What is happening in Syria is a religious civil war fought over the same ideologies as the ones practiced by the vast majority of the

refugees.

The DNA of Islam

Page 169: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

This is an Islamic war fought to determine which branch of Islam will be supreme.

Page 170: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It is not a war that started last week, or last year, but 1400 years ago. We cannot make it go away by overthrowing Assad, by giving out candy or taking in refugees. This conflict is in the cultural DNA of

Islam."

Page 171: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

"There are Christian and non-Muslim minorities who are genuine refugees, but the two Muslim sects whose militias are murdering each

other are not victims, they are persecutors.

Welcoming the Hateful Ideologies

that Cause Wars

Page 172: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Just because Sunnis are running from a Shiite militia or Shiites from a Sunni militia right now does not make them victims.

The moment that their side's militia wins and begins

slaughtering the other side, the oppressed will become the

oppressors.

Page 173: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Such shifts have already taken place countless times in this conflict. The refugees are not fleeing a dictator.

Page 174: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

They are fleeing each other while carrying the hateful ideologies,

that caused this bloodshed, with them.

Page 175: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We are not taking in people fleeing the civil war.

We are taking in their civil war."

Islam gained its first foothold in Europe in 711 with the Umajjad conquests of Spain. They advanced into France, but in an epic battle

near Tours, in 732, they were defeated by Charles Martell the Hammer, and driven South, back across the Pyrenees Mountains.

The Historic Background

Page 187: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It took 800 years to free Spain from the grip of Islam. Islam entered Eastern and South Eastern Europe in the 13th Century.

Page 188: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The Ottoman Empire crushed and oppressed Albania, Kosovo,

Macedonia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Romania, Hungary, Greece and parts of Ukraine and Russia for

In 1526, the Turks conquered Budapest and looted the city. They then enslaved 200,000 Hungarian Christians and dragged them back to

Turkey as slaves.

Page 190: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It is understandable that the East Europeans have been the most vocal in resisting this latest Islamic Refugee Trojan Horse invasion.

Their countries suffered centuries of oppression and enslavement by the Muslim Turks.

Page 191: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

To understand what is at stake here one needs to consider the fate of Egypt and Byzantine. For many centuries Egypt was the greatest

economic and military superpower in the world.

Egyptians are Now a Minority

in Their Own Country

Page 192: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

However, in the 7th Century, Egypt was conquered and colonised by Muslim Arabs.

Page 193: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Today, the Egyptian Copts make up barely 12% of the total population and Christianity is a minority religion, in what for a thousand years had enjoyed a Christian majority. The Arabs have oppressed the Christian

Copts for centuries.

Page 194: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis
Page 195: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

For a thousand years, Byzantine was the greatest economic, military and political superpower in the world.

The Extermination of Christianity in

Turkey

Page 196: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Yet, on 29 May, AD1453, the greatest city in the world, Constantinople fell to the Muslim Turks who put the entire city to the sword,

slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians, including 12,000 in the greatest Christian church in the world at that time, the Hagia Sophia.

Page 197: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Today Constantinople is called Istanbul and what was a vibrant Christian civilisation, for over a millennium, is today called Turkey.

Christians are a small, persecuted minority in Turkey. The Turks are the largest unreached people group in the world.

Page 198: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

If anyone doubts that London could become Londonistan, that Europe could become Eurabia and America could become Ameristan, they have not considered what multi-culturalism and mass Muslim migration did

for Egypt and what we today call Turkey.

Demographics are Destiny

Page 199: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

For 1000 years Christianity predominated in Northern Sudan.

From the 6th Century to the 15th Century Christianity was the official religion of three Northern Christian kingdoms of Nubia, Alwa and

Makuria (later Datawo).

How Christianity Died Out

in Northern Sudan ?

Page 200: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

For 900 years the Black Christians of Sudan successfully resisted the southward expansion of Islam.

Page 201: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

It is an historic fact that the Christian kingdoms of Northern Sudan did not fall militarily, but through the continuous migration of Arab traders

and merchants into Sudan which eroded Christian civilisation as the influence of Islam increased.

Page 202: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

As Sudanese intermarried with Arabs, Muslims came to dominate the market places and trading routes. Christianity was exterminated in

Northern Sudan.

"Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, the wrath of the Lord is upon you." 2 Chronicles 19:2

Page 204: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Muslims are invading countries all over the world under the guise of being "refugees" and simply "seeking peaceful asylum." However,

Muslim jihadists are seizing the opportunity to plant their ideology in the West.

Trojan Horse

Many are speaking of an Islamic invasion Trojan horse.

Greek customs personnel intercepted 14 containers full of weapons and ammunition, described as plastic furniture items destined to

refugee camps.

Muslim radicals have a definitive plan to conquer the entire world. "We shall soon collect them in the name of the coming Caliphate. We will say to you: These are our sons. Receive them, or we will send our

armies to you!"

Page 212: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Approximately 104,000 Muslim migrants arrived in Germany during the month of August. This means that 413,535 registered refugees

have arrived in Germany, so far, in 2015. Germany expects over 800,000 to seek asylum this year.

Page 213: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Another commentator observed: "This refugee crisis is a master ploy to sneak well trained ISIS terrorists disguised as refugees into Europe

to start an insurgency in the cities of Europe.

Page 214: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The main goal is to destabilise."

A banner was unfolded on a German highway:

"Your children will pray to Allah or die!"

Page 215: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The Islamic State has published a document entitled Libya: The Strategic Gateway for the Islamic State.

Infiltrate for Caliphate

Page 216: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

In this publication I.S. exhorts Muslims to go to Libya and to cross from there as refugees into Europe.

Page 217: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

The publication informs refugees that weapons from Gadhafi's arsenal are plentiful and easy to obtain in Libya and that the country has a long coast and looks upon the "Southern Crusader states", which "can be reached with

ease by even a rudimentary boat."

Page 218: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

ISIS has claimed that they have already infiltrated over 20,000 of their jihadists into Europe so far this year.

Page 219: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Saudi Arabia has offered to help by building 200 mosques in Germany.

Saudi Aim to Islamise Germany

Page 220: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

However, they have not been willing to receive any refugees themselves, nor are they offering any food,

shelter, medicine, or jobs for these migrants.

Page 221: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, all close to war-ravaged Syria, are not yet willing to house any of the Syrian

refugees fleeing the conflict which they themselves are sponsoring.

Page 222: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Zsolt Bayer, a politician in Hungary, declared in Budapest on 13 September: "There are all kinds of weapons: traditional, chemical,

atomic.

Artificial Manufactured Migration to

Destroy Europe

Page 223: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

And now we see that there are also racial weapons. This is a weapon that they, the invisible hands, have employed against Europe… why

has everyone, from everywhere, and all at once, decided to start heading towards Europe? Why?

Page 224: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Let us declare lively and level-headedly: This is an artificial, manufactured, mass migration. And its goal is the final and irreversible transformation of Europe's ethnic and religious

composition.

Page 225: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

And for this, they have already produced the necessary ideologies… Our leaders in Brussels want to sell Europe from over our heads and

they want to destroy our Europe…"

Page 226: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Europe is in danger to falling to Islam. There is an urgent and serious need for a new Biblical Reformation and a fresh spiritual Revival. Only

Christianity – true Biblical Christianity – can defeat radical Islam. Secular humanism and hedonism are no match for Islamic jihad.

Reformation or Islamisation

Page 227: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

By rejecting Christianity, Europe is committed spiritual suicide.

By embracing secular humanism and welcoming Islamic immigration, Europe is committing cultural and economic suicide.

Continental Suicide

Page 228: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

By inter-marrying with Muslims and building mosques and madrasses throughout the continent, Europe is betraying future generations to

bondage. By rejecting God's Law, Europe may soon fall under Islamic Shari'a law.

Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat its failures. Guilt manipulation and indoctrination have neutralised

Europe. We need to re-discover our history.

Ignorance of History is Catastrophic

Page 234: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

As Karl Marx declared:

"The first battle field is the re-writing of history."

As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

declared, of Russia, in 1917:

"We forgot God!"

"Another generation

grew up who knew neither the Lord nor

what He

had done…

they provoked

the Lord

to anger." Judges 2:10-11

Page 236: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Secularism, humanism, heathenism and hedonism have gutted Europe – morally, spiritually and ethically – making her vulnerable to an

Islamic takeover.

Aborting Their Future

Page 237: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

By aborting her babies, Europe is aborting her future. By secularising her schools, Europe is condemning her youth. By paganising her

populations, Europe has perverted her society. By importing millions of Muslim migrants, Europe is committing demographic suicide.

Page 238: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

There are two extremes that we need to guard against: there are those who refuse to see the crisis. They say there is no problem! Then there are those who panic and say there is no hope! Both of these extremes

are false.

A Balanced Perspective

Page 239: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We must recognise the problems – honestly and soberly.

Man is depraved and in rebellion to God and His Word.

Sin inevitably reaps tremendous trouble.

But we must also recognise that God is Sovereign and Almighty.

Page 240: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

There is power in prayer.

The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. How can any Christian say there is no hope?

Page 241: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We must wake up to the urgent and serious crisis. Most churches are asleep, or in apostasy. The world is rushing on its way to hell. Our

prayer meetings are sparsely attended and lacking in fire and fervour.

Wake Up

Page 242: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

Most Evangelical churches engage in little,

or no Evangelism. Missionary vision is weak

and much that is done in the name of missions,

has little to do with fulfilling the Great Commission.

Page 243: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

We need to make disciples of all nations,

teaching obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded.

We need to understand Islam and we need to evangelise Muslims.

Page 244: A Christian Response to the Refugee Crisis

God has not given us a spirit of fear – but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Fight the Good Fight of Faith
