While Islam Thrives, The Bible Comes True to the Letter
The Bible has started to come true in every aspect of what is written. Britain in particular has introduced an “Anti-Muslimness” bill, having decided that the rhetoric on the word ‘Islamophobia’ might create more opposition. This bill, were it enacted, would give startling protections to Islam while, in contrast, leaving Christianity wide open to assault from Muslims. The time of Christian persecution is here.
But before we dive into the specifics, let’s make this plain. This is not a reason to mourn as a Christian! This is a reason to rejoice! This is a reason to celebrate! As Bible prophecy begins to take on a literal, word-for-word fulfillment, know that there is no need to be afraid. It is time to, as the Bible says, look up. For our redemption is closer than ever.
18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” – John 15:18-20 ESV
Ben Habib, the Leader of Advance UK
As the British Parliament begins to attempt to bulldoze this bill through to law, Ben Habib released a statement. In this part, he highlights the dangers to Christianity of the proposed bill. I will add the entire comment at the bottom of this article. Habib stated:
“But I think they’re missing the point. The real point to recognize by the introduction of an anti-Muslimness law is that Islam will then be the only religion in the United Kingdom that has a legal protection around it. Christianity won’t have that protection, and no other religion will have that protection.
Islam, which is a muscular, proselytizing, self-confident religion, will be protected. You will not be able to challenge it. And because it is a muscular, proselytizing, converting religion, it will use the legal protection it has to spread itself much, much faster through the United Kingdom. It’s an inevitability because it will be protected and it’s muscular and it’s on its front foot.
Christianity, on the other hand, which is already having a crisis of confidence where the Church of England, in my mind, has turned its back effectively on Christianity—Christianity will be open to all the challenges to which it’s always been open. Islam will be on the legally protected ascendancy in the United Kingdom, and Christianity will be increasingly set aside.” – Ben Habib, Leader of Advance UK
His concerns are real. In Britain, anyone who even challenges the legitimacy of Islam will be subject to punishment, but Islam will be free to criticize Christianity. But, this is exactly what the Bible tells us will happen in the last days.
The Contradiction of Islam and Christianity
The ridiculousness of the situation in the world today is a polar opposite of reality. Islam, often named a ‘religion of peace,’ began as a religion carried by the sword. Even today, the world battles Islamist terrorism* globally. Governments all over the world are scrambling to enact protections for Muslims, who are under no threat whatsoever, except from other Muslims, while Christianity is flagged as a target of persecution. Laws around the world prohibit the free exercise of Christianity, while the Islamic religion has the world’s blessing.
23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: They hated me without a cause.’ – John 15:23-25 ESV
And here is the cause of the persecution: Because the world hates God and hates the righteousness he requires, they hate us. Islam is a false religion, and even with its restrictions to freedom and its view of women, is being embraced by the world. And that’s because the true god of Islam is also the god of the people who reject God’s law.
Islam’s religion is closely tied to the worship of the moon god. They travel to Mecca—not to find Jesus, but to circle the Kaaba. They walk around a black stone in a ritual that looks exactly like the ancient pagan worship of the moon god. A false religion for a false god, and it’s being embraced by the world.
The Road is Broad that Leads to Hell
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. – Romans 1:28-32 NIV
What does the world look like to you? Are you one of those who believe man is fundamentally good? Do you see a bright future ahead for America and the world? Or do you see reality? Obviously this world is sliding down the wide, wide road that leads to hell. The verse above was written nearly 2,000 years ago, yet perfectly, to the very word, describes the state of this modern world. People are willing to kill others, commit acts of violence and vandalism in order to promote Socialism, anarchy, and lawlessness.
Even politicians themselves are willing to publicly and proudly advocate lawlessness, dividing our country in an attempt to cause it to fall. Read the verse above again, but this time, think of what is happening in America and see how closely it matches the world we live in. Even among our politicians, they know the things they are doing are worthy of death according to God’s word, but they insist on continuing to do those things, and praise others who do them.

4 But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. 5 For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. 6 So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. – 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 NLT
I don’t think I need to add to this verse, or describe it. I think we should rejoice, because our redemption is at hand.
On the other hand, if you don’t know Jesus, you should be afraid! You need to shake with fear, because if you think things are bad now, in a very, very short time, it is going to get worse. A lot worse. And you will be right in the middle of 7 years of God’s judgement. And according to the word of God, 75% of you won’t live through it. But you don’t have to go through it.
Jesus died and rose again, and has already paid the price for your sin. Your sins are already forgiven, God is just waiting for you to accept that forgiveness. I’m not really big on invitations, so I like to let God’s word do it for me. Read this verse and do what it says:
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. – Romans 10:9-10 NLT
The Entire Comment of Ben Habib, the Leader of Advance UK
“As many of you will know, the Labour Party is contemplating bringing in an ‘anti-Muslimness’ law. It was going to be termed an Islamophobia law, but I think they think they can hoodwink the public more easily if they change its name to anti-Muslimness as opposed to Islamophobia.
And phobia being an irrational fear of something, and they know that there’s nothing irrational about debating an ideology, so they just want to make it anti-Muslimness and cast it more along the racist—racism lines of the protection which they say they wish to afford Islam.
And many people on our side of the debate have rightly challenged this move towards an anti-Muslimness law on the basis that it would shut down freedom of speech—further shut down freedom of speech, which is already being so assaulted in the United Kingdom—and also because it would be the reintroduction of blasphemy laws, which we gave up on years and years and years ago. And of course they’re completely right. It would be an assault on our freedom of speech and it would be the reintroduction of blasphemy laws.
But I think they’re missing the point. The real point to recognize by the introduction of an anti-Muslimness law is that Islam will then be the only religion in the United Kingdom that has a legal protection around it. Christianity won’t have that protection, and no other religion will have that protection.
Islam, which is a muscular, proselytizing, self-confident religion, will be protected. You will not be able to challenge it. And because it is a muscular, proselytizing, converting religion, it will use the legal protection it has to spread itself much, much faster through the United Kingdom. It’s an inevitability because it will be protected and it’s muscular and it’s on its front foot.
Christianity, on the other hand, which is already having a crisis of confidence where the Church of England, in my mind, has turned its back effectively on Christianity—Christianity will be open to all the challenges to which it’s always been open. Islam will be on the legally protected ascendancy in the United Kingdom, and Christianity will be increasingly set aside.
This law is not going to just challenge our freedom of speech and be the reintroduction of blasphemy law. It will be the beginning of the end of a Christian constitution and a Christian culture in this country. We will inexorably set a march towards being an Islamic country. That’s what the anti-Muslimness law is going to result in. And it’s really important people understand that.
So, while I have absolutely no desire to challenge the peaceful beliefs of Muslims in this country—the peaceful application of their religion—I will absolutely, and Advance UK absolutely will, stand against the anti-Muslimness law. Advance UK believes correctly that this is a constitutionally Christian country and we are culturally Christian. We will not allow a law to come into being unchallenged which seeks to change that fact.
We will oppose it at every level. At every step it takes through Parliament it will be opposed. And even if it passes Parliament and comes into being, we will oppose it. We will continue to oppose it until it is removed from the statute books or we are defeated in our opposition. And we would have to be utterly, utterly defeated.
The anti-Muslimness law is an assault on our free speech, is a reintroduction of blasphemy law, but crucially, it is the beginning of the end of this being a Christian culture. Anyone who believes in our Christian heritage, our culture, our Christian constitution needs to join Advance UK and oppose this law.”
* There are some who insist I add the word “Radical” as a prefix to Islamic terrorism. However, I contend that these individuals are not radical at all; they are simply Muslims who believe in the literal interpretation of the Qur’an.
