This same year the last of the Muslims were forced out of Spain by the Crusaders! Christopher Columbus set sail for America! This same year the Spanish Inquisition began! Why is all this significant? First Christopher Columbus was a Jew! Throughout his life Columbus showed a keen interest in the Bible and Bible Prophecy! He would often quote Biblical texts in his letters and in his ship logs. Part of the argument that a Book he submitted to the Spanish Monarchs when he sought for his support for his proposed expedition to reach the Indies by sailing west was based on his reading of the Second Book of Esdras 6:42. Columbus interpreted this scripture from the Bible to mean that the earth is made up of six parts of land and one of water. The then world maps showed only 5 continents so Christopher reasoned from the scriptures there was another continent missing on the world maps! So he thought traveling west he would discover this missing continent! If you read the quotes of Columbus he said he did not use science, navigation or mathematics but the scriptures as his guide! The Catholics got a hundred years start on evangelism of South and Central America because they did not reject the Apocrypha from the scriptures as the Protestants did! Towards the end of his life Columbus produced a Book of Prophecies in which his career as an explorer is interpreted in the light of Christian Eschatology and Apocalypticism. On August 3, 1492 the Edict of Expulsion was executed requiring all Jews to leave Spain! On August 2nd Columbus and his crew boarded their ships before midnight and left harbor 1/2 hour before sunrise. His historic journey was also financed with the help of some wealthy Jewish merchants! Spain had been a 2nd home for Jews since 200 A.D. Remember Paul wanted to travel there! There were 800000 Jews living in Spain when the Inquisition began! The Catholic Church in Spain wanted all Jews to convert to Catholicism! Also King Fernando and Isabella wanted to seize the Jewish wealth of Spain! History has shown us that if the Muslims are not around to persecute the Jews the Church is! Christopher was also searching for a land where the Jews could escape persecution! That happened to be America and a land which has always supported Israel! The Apocryphya was a collection of Books published in the original King James Bible of 1611. They were part of the King James Bible for 274 years until they were removed in 1885 A.D. They were inserted between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Here is what Esdras 6:42 says, “Upon the third day thou did command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth; six parts thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled that might serve thee.” KJV 1611 A.D.–1885 A.D. The parts of the Bible that were later thrown out were the GPS navigator’s for Columbus voyage to the New World in 1492! Maybe we should revisit the Apocrypha? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Columbus and Mohammad!
“and your Highness, as Catholic Christians and Princes, devoted to the Holy Christian Faith and the propagation there of—and enemies of the sect of Mohammad and all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me Christopher Columbus, to the said—” Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) Comment: Why is it poor old Mohammad gets bad press? Was Columbus suffering from Islamophobia? The Islamic armies invaded Spain in 715 A.D. and pushed deep into Europe with destruction of life and limb! The first Crusade to push the Muslim armies out of Europe began in 1096 A.D. and ended with the eighth Crusade ending in 1247 A.D. These Christian armies pushed the Muslims out of Europe and Jerusalem! It took about 500 years to push these invading armies out of Europe with continual war! So history repeats itself except Europe faces a new challenge in that the Islamists are not wearing uniforms this time but through immigration and refugees have them planted in their cities and living among their populations! America has the same problem but to a lesser degree as we have a smaller population of them! Columbus was also a Jew and we will cover more on this topic on later posts! James and Hamsa Sasse.

I Will Show You Where Heaven Is!
Billy Graham started his ministry by setting up tent crusades in small towns across America! Anything big is always started small. They came to this small town in the South and got permission to set up their tent on the local football field. Billy needed to go to the Post Office so he set out on foot to main street which was less than two blocks long! However he could not find the Post Office? This small little boy came walking down the street so Billy asked him where the Post Office was? The boy replied, “Mister go down to Bud’s General Store and the Post Office will be in the back of the store.” Billy Graham thanked the young man and then made him an offer that if he would come to the tent crusade tonight he would show him where Heaven was! The little boy replied, “No thankyou Mister for you don’t even know where the Post Office is?” Pastor Greg Laurie
Are the Crusades coming back?
An 84 year old French Priest just got his throat slit by a Islamic Jihadist! The Crusades in Europe were about Christians rising up to defend the slaughter of their cultures by Islamic Jihadists! It was a defense against Muslim invaders! Bad politics by European leaders and also American leaders allowed these Jihadist to enter their cultures! The purpose of any government is to protect her citiizens! They have failed miserably! The population will only take this slaughter so long then they will turn on these Jihadists with civil war! No government will be able to stop this because the people will turn on the government if they try! This is exactly what the Jihadist want! This is their goal! They want to import Syria and Iraq into Europe and America! Obama is really helping them by importing thousands of Syrian refugees into America! The very millions of refugees he created by pulling American troops out of Iraq! The bottom line is Obama is helping Islamists spread Islam! Really sad and tragic for the civilized world! Thankyou.

Christian Civilization and France! Battle of Tours 732 A.D.
We owe a debt to the French people as leaders of the Crusades against Islam for over 200 years! Because of your efforts and sacrifices we have Western Civilization and a Christian America! We are reminded that the Arab name for all Crusades spanning over 500 years regardless of nationality was “Franj.” The Battle of Tours in France was one of the most decisive battles in history! Abd-ur Rahman the Muslim general with his 600000 man army conquered all of Egypt, Syria and North Africa. In October 732 A.D. exactly 100 years from the death of Mohammed the Muslim armies entered into Europe. The Frankish army was made up of Gothic Germanic tribes who became the French today met the Muslim armies in battle! The Muslims who invaded France destroyed palaces, churches and murdered thousands! The Francs lead by Charles Martel, known as the Hammer led France into battle. They routed the Muslim armies and captured and killed Abd-ur Rahman! The Franks were the first to learn that the terror of the Arab Muslims can only be neutralized by a greater counter terror! This counter terror has to be a super terror to strike fear into the hearts of Muslims so that they give up their aggressive mentality for fear of death! If only one or two French citizens had side arms in these attacks in Paris the outcome would have been very different! I try to persuade my Christian friends here in America to arm themselves for what is coming here! Right now they dismiss my warning but after President Obama lets in 10000 Syrian refugees they will figure it out! Our condolences to the French families as we share your suffering and encourage you that our hope is in Christ! The German and French soccer game in Paris where some of the attack took place reminds us of history as the Germans and French fought together at the Battle of Tours in 732 A.D. to drive out the Muslims from France!

Has America Forgotten 9-11?
Misunderstanding of the present grows fatally from the ignorance of the past! Mark Bloch (1886-1944) Mark was a Jewish professor and French resistance fighter captured by the Gestapo and executed during German occupation of France during WWII. Comment: Many of our American leaders seem to have no grasp of history? The war with Islam goes on and under Obama we are losing this war! Obama himself is a Muslim and we will continue to lose this fight when the enemy is in the White House! Obama is a very calculating fighter for Islam! He is planting millions of Muslims into Western Europe and the United States with the very refugees he has created! Muslims do not integrate with other cultures but will fight those cultures until they are overthrown! At least during the Crusades the Christians and Muslims were geographically separated! The day after 9-11 President Bush said Islam is a religion of peace? He either does not know history or is in denial? Obama claims the same? However Obama knows who they are and a very good enemy to overthrow the United States! If we cannot figure out 9-11 and the source then we are headed for future ones! Obama is enabling Islam to win this war! The latest example to give Iran 150 Billion dollars plus a Nuke! Do you notice Russian troops moving into Syria? Remember he told Putin I can do more for you after I am re-elected? Islam will fight as long as it takes to defeat America and they have 1300 years of history to prove their intent! If we do not have the moral courage to fight this war then every American knee will bow to Allah! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Billy Graham Tribute
Billy Graham at age 93 is back in the hospital. He is working on another book! He never tires in well doing! When I was a teenager back in the 1960’s I used to watch his crusades on my grandparents old Philco black and white TV set on the farm back in Nebraska. This man had a significant impact on my life as a teenager! His positive influence has carried me over the years as now I have entered my senior years! I thank the Lord and His Christ for sending Billy Graham into my life at a critical time to steer me the right direction and for my grandparents Edgar and Ethel Sasse for asking me to watch these crusades! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
