    The Underground Revival in the Middle East That Might Take Down Islam

    -The churning, tempestuous world looks remarkably different than many imagine. This is undoubtedly true if you're an average American.

    In the darkest corners of the Middle East there's a revival beginning that's unprecedented in the history of world missions. I've previously reflected on it here and here, but I wanted to take this amazing story further than before.

    I hope that you'll journey with me as I explore unbelievable developments in the expansion of Christianity in the Middle East.

    Reliable reports suggest more Muslims have become followers of Jesus over the last two decades than in Islam's combined 1,500-year history. Based on the accounts of several missiologists, it has been surmised that "more Muslims have committed to follow Christ in the last 10 years than in the last 15 centuries of Islam."[1] In spite of great difficulty and turmoil, Christianity is unquestionably expanding throughout Islamic world. God is up to something amazing in a region that many have thought was unreachable.

    Joel Rosenberg, an evangelical researcher, author and resident of Israel has documented the recent upsurge of Christianity in the Middle-East. Through first-hand reconnaissance, coupled with reports from Arabic nationals, Rosenberg demonstrates that Christianity is rising rapidly in the world of Islam.

    Admittedly some of the following statistics have shifted in the aftermath of the ISIS and other violent demonstrations against Christians. Those who follow Jesus have been slaughtered and have experienced severe persecution in this region. Nevertheless, Joel Rosenberg's observations provide a window into many amazing developments.

    Some of the particulars can certainly be debated, but in many of the Mediterranean nations, Christianity is making extraordinary inroads. Though the subsequent conversion figures are impossible to confirm, even in their imprecision, they provide a snapshot of what's transpiring in the Middle East...

    Let's see if those revivals are able to somehow erode those Muslim nations from within until they open up. It's not impossible.

    No, Islam will only be defeated when Jesus Christ arrives to start His 1000 reign.

    The anti-christ is going to be a Moslem so we are going in to the worst time this earth has ever seen because God is about to allow mankind to reap what he has sown which is massive death and destruction that many end times teachers believe will kill up to 2/3rds of the earth's current population.

    It's otherwise known as the Great Tribulation, which I'm sure everyone has heard of by now.

    While it's always nice to be "positive" we really need to take God at His Word concerning some really, really bad times will come upon the inhabitants of the earth.

    Those Christians that are overcomers will be given an escape thru the rapture... those that are playing church who are not walking with the Lord, will stay here and will eventually be forced to choose between claiming Jesus as their Lord and Savior... or getting whacked.

    There is another one of those un-scriptural NT doctrines popping up. Can you show where it was taught to the NT church that after Jesus comes and takes home His bride, there will still be another chance for people to be saved?

    That may be when it is DEFEATED but does not negate that God through born again form Muslims can't turn a nation's direction.
