The greatest migration of refugees since World War 2 is currently happening, and I believe it is of immense and prophetic significance. Millions of people are fleeing from the horrors and depredations of the Syrian Civil War ,and at the same time millions of people in Africa have seen in this the opportunity to piggy back along with the refugees, on into Europe.
It so happens that these migrants and refugees are predominantly Muslim.
Several circumstances have come together, which have presented this unprecedented opportunity for third world peoples to escape the squalor and dysfunction of their own homes, and to make the trek north into a more prosperous Europe, and sign up for their share, (and in many cases, several shares) of Europe’s lavish social welfare system.
What are these circumstances?
- 1) The existence of Socialistic welfare States-When Muslims were turned away from the gates of Europe in the days of Charles Martel and Jan Sobieski, they never dreamed that the day would come when they would be welcomed into France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom in the millions and enrolled on the perpetual dole at the expense of the European taxpayers.
- They would have no doubt enforced a Jizya tax,(Tax on Unbelievers) had they conquered the European nations, but they would have never dreamed that free money to live on, would be voluntarily given to them indefinitely, by the governments of the Kufir.(Unbeliever).
- 2) The “De-Christianization” of Europe- The twentieth century, with its popular antiChristian ideologies, and the World Wars that sprang out of them, has bled Europe in particular of faith. There are Christians there, but Atheism is the prevailing worldview in places like France and Germany. Europe has never recovered from World War 1! Christians are an ever decreasing monority and have little discernible influence on the culture.
- When the “Cultus” (Spirituality) is stripped from the culture, the house is empty, swept and cleansed” as Jesus warned.
- When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.( Luke 11:23-25)
- The Spiritual world of Nations, families and individuals cannot abide a vacuum. People without any faith, cannot successfully resist people of a faith, even if the faith is as twisted and deformed as Islam. When Europe was Christian she resisted Islam, but not anymore!
- 3) The “Planned Barrenness” of much of Europe- Part of the outcome of the spiritual barrenness of Europe is the literal, physical barrenness. The sexual revolution of the sixties, all but destroyed Love, marriage, and child-bearing. It is too inconvenient and expensive to have children, the goal since the sixties was ZPG (Zero Population Growth).
- This may be one of the reasons Germany in particular announced that she would receive 800,000 “refugees” over the next year. The United States itself agreed for a modest 10,000(Too many in my view), but why would Germany with 80,000,000 population want an influx of 800,000 Muslims?
- The German birthrate is near zero replacement, as are the Italian, the Belgian, the Spanish and French and British.
- A socialistic welfare State needs constant workers. Those modern, sixties couples who bought into the culture of death and barrenness, and who scoffed at the big families of their ancestors, are now in danger of not being supported in their old age, unless warm bodies are brought in to replace the retiring work force of taxpayers to support the system.
- What will an influx of Muslim refugees amounting to one percent of the population, do to a civilized nation such as Germany? For a sampler, google “Rotherham Scandal”, to see what happens when our “Leaders” open the floodgates of our cities and villages to an alien culture.
- Rotherham teaches us that a terrible sacrifice is required of the gods of multiculturalism.
Other nations in Southern and Eastern Europe are holding a harder line. The nation of Slovakia agreed to accept refugees as long as they are Christians, Hungary has been overwhelmed with 130,00 refugees, and is working on a wall to try to bring some order to the passage of refugees, most of whom are trying to get into Germany.
Hungary, which has seen an influx of about 130,000 migrants this year, is to send several thousand police officers to the southern border with Serbia in a new effort to stem the rising flow of migrants.
Janos Lazar, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, has claimed the country is ‘under an organised attack’ by human traffickers who aren’t only transporting migrants but instructing them about how to abuse the European Union’s refugee system.
Hungary is currently building a 110 mile razor-wire fence along the border with Serbia, and is bringing in laws which will make crossing into the country illegally punishable by a prison sentence. West Hasn’t got Enough Mosquess
Poland has come under criticism for refusing to accept more refugees. Hungary’s president Victor Orban is coming under fire for warning that the Immigrants threaten the Christian character of Europe-
“”We shouldn’t forget that the people who are coming here grew up in a different religion and represent a completely different culture. Most are not Christian, but Muslim…. That is an important question, because Europe and European culture have Christian roots,” he wrote.”MUSLIMS THREATEN HUNGARY”S CHRISTIAN IDENTITY
This blog series is a much more sensible analysis of the current influx of Muslims into Europe and America than the analyses on news stations and channels. Thanks, Pastor, for your insight and courage.
I second that!
Appreciate your blog very much. Have had so many of the same thoughts especially regarding the vacuum which nature abhors. You clarify and confirm my thoughts with your insight and Biblical understanding . Thank you
