ISIS Caliphate Now Aggressively Pursuing Christians In Towns Across The Nineveh Plain.

Nahum 1:11-12a, “From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the LORD and devises wicked plans. This is what the LORD says: ‘Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away.’”

Islamic State militants have now launched a mortar attack against the village of Tilkif in an attempt to break into one of the towns in the Nineveh Plain, where families driven from Mosul have found refuge.

These people absolutely have to be stopped!

Pray Yonah, pray with me that the LORD will intervene (if it be His will)...because we know if these people fight back or defend themselves the world's media will bill them as the evil ones...the world hates His children whatever the variety...

Unfortunately, we've already seen it where Iraq jihadists blew up 'Jonah's tomb' in Mosul..





They actually had imagery of others carrying off rubble from the tomb after it was destroyed, as if others are seeking to have remnants of what once was so that the memory of it is not forgotten.

Another noted how the destruction is part of a bigger policy. Simone Muehl (who works with as an archaeologist ) notes that "ISIS destroys not only from the perspective of religion, but also to steal the identity of the people that they rule."

There has been a long history of Muslims and Christians living together - with the tomb of Jonah being a site that was used by both groups just as other places elsewhere have seen the same. However, the eradication of it (despite how its revered by Muslims) indicates that the radical Muslim extremists are going for total eradication not just of their enemies but even of the possibility of people living together under their rule - and thus, they are at war even with their enemies.


They have already seen it where Christians were offered the opportunity to either convert to Islam or die. Moreover, Emil Shimoun Nona, the archbishop of the Chaldean Catholics of Mosul, has told news agencies that the few Christians remaining in the city prior to the ISIS invasion have abandoned the city. The savageness of the ISIS is no joke - for no sooner had ISIS entered Mosul than some of their fighters set fire to an Armenian church.

It's bad enough, seeing how many church bombings have occurred in Iraq since 2004 - but with the ISIS, it is unhuman what they have done in Iraq. This all seems consistent with the group's grim record during the civil war in Syria, where, among other things, it revived medieval Islamic restrictions on Christian populations.

There have been so many atrocities occurring in the Middle East of late - and What is happening there is nothing more than an ethnic cleansing entering its end game (since it has been consistently occurring since the Iraq Invasion) - and for a report on the persecution of Assyrians in Iraq, see Incipient Genocide: The Ethnic Cleansing of the Assyrians of Iraq.

It's sad to see how others such as the ISIS have done this, damaging ancient sites because of their extremism (as well as harming Sunnis who are not as extreme as they are) - and yet, it's even sadder to see others in the West not even think it's an issue worth dealing with since the U.S has many who think we did the right thing getting involved with Iraq....and don't really know of the Biblical history within Iraq that is actually being erased steadily. If all of the Western Christians supporting the Iraq Occupation knew how it was in Iraq that the Prophet Jonah came to (Assyria) rather than just seeing it as another Middle-Eastern nation, how different would things be. However, not seeing the history of Assyria and its many accomplishments has been a stumbling block to others who may have been concerned with what's going on right now.


Despite all of the chaos happening, I am glad that all of the various Iraqi Christian communities — the Chaldeans (who are part of the Roman Catholic Church), the Armenians, the Syriac Orthodox, the Greek Orthodox — have benefited from large émigré contingents around the world who have welcomed refugees from Iraq. At least in that sense (Diaspora) Assyrian Christianity will survive and the memory of what used to be present will NEVER be forgotten.

And what Jonah sought to do when reaching out to the people of Nineveh will never be in vain. As another wisely noted,
"The Assyrians accepted Jonah and his message from God, and for this God made them "the work of my hands" [Isaiah 19:23-25] and the "rod of my anger" [Isaiah 10:5]... He also assigned to them a task to be completed upon the Second Advent: The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. [Matthew 12:41]"

Have you guys signed the online petition yet? A relevant one can be found here.

#WeAreN on twitter are campaigning to raise awareness of these very ancient Christian groups being uprooted from their homes, being raped and murdered, all in the name of islam.

It is a systematic and deliberate attempt to exterminate Christians. So why is the West silent about this?

so my bubby told me today that this Johnny Moore is raising money to get christians out of syria. now our gooobermint
is letting every kind of islam in here and every kind of south american drug runners and such ..
but they will only let 200 syrian christians in here.
so on Glen Becks show they were saying that they can get a family out for about 2500 dollars.
we were loosing our retirement by that much a month and we didn't have hardly any retirement and it was going fast.. then with the taxes and fees to get it out of there we ended up with less than one third and so how much of people now can get money on their ebt to buy drugs from the Mexican and other South americans coming up here loaded with drugs in their bodies. .. so oh well.. life in America and for all that pursuits of happiness ..
so in the mean time we did get a little out of it and so can anyone find where people can help get christians out Syria ?

Because Anti-Messiah is the spirit of the age in the West; and is the Allah that isis worships.

this earth right now is the only hell they will ever know. and those men the only demons.
I was looking for a straight yes or no answer.

Hell is so infinity bad and heaven so infinitely good that there is NOTHING on earth that can even be compared to them.
