  Your Glory Or His? Choose Wisely!

  A few years from now, you will pull this diary off your bookshelf and blow the dust off the cover being unable to resist re-reading it, only to find out how prevalent it is to the times you live in. And when you do begin to read, you find yourself unable to stop partaking in the only wholesome addiction, praying to the Almighty that you never recover from it, for it uses a roadmap orchestrated for us by Him thousands of years ago. The efforts I put into it was like a quest to find a hidden treasure, with only one difference—I want to share all this wealth I found—with you. This new treasure I found, reminds me of a favorite movie in our family, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In this film, the key regarding the quest for the Grail becomes Dr. Henry Jones’s diary, for without it, no one can lay hands on the chalice that contained the power for eternal life, and so the fictional story goes. Henry is obsessed with the Grail and has spent his lifetime researching and documenting details in his diary to help locate the prized treasure. But he isn’t the only one enchanted by its powers. The Nazis are in the hunt for it as well, yet for the wrong motive. They falsely believe that the Grail will bring them an eternal Nazi kingdom.

  Both Henry and his son Indiana have fallen captive to the evil Nazis and lost the diary to them. Henry, after escaping with Indiana from Berlin insists on going back for the diary. Without it, no one can escape the lethal pitfalls and booby traps set up at the pathway to the temple housing the Grail. In an argument between Henry and his son, who did not want to go back into the lion’s den, Indiana blasphemes the name of Christ. Henry slaps him looking straight into his eyes. “This is for blasphemy,” he chastises. “The quest for the Grail is not archeology; it’s a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. Do you understand me?” Indiana replies “This is an obsession, Dad. I’ve never understood it. Never…” It seems that Indiana doesn’t understand the deeper side of his father—which isn’t merely obsession with the quest to find the Grail, but a desire to win the war against Nazism. Henry has faith in God, but Indiana is a doubting Thomas.

  After all the commotion of going back to Berlin and rescuing the diary from the Nazis, the scene finally culminates with all of the movie’s characters trying to reach the sacred spot: the Joneses, Salah, and Brody all reach the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, in Hatay near Ä°skenderun, the site of the temple housing the Grail. The Nazis capture them in the temple and a showdown between good and evil ensues. The Joneses are overcome by guns from the antagonist, Donovan, and his men. Donovan, in order to test the path to the Grail for booby traps, sends in a Turkish soldier to clear the way of cunning devices. Attempting to enter, he walks slowly, eyes darting, muttering a prayer under his breath. He approaches the spot where another decapitated Turkish soldier lies dead. He takes one more step—a fatal step, it turns out. We hear a roar, a woosh of air, and see the Turk’s head fly off and bounce across the ground.

  Realizing the futility of this, Donovan decides to send in an expert, so he appoints Indiana by pointing his gun at him “What do you say, Jones, ready to go down in history?” Indiana responds “As what, A Nazi stooge like you?” Donovan counters “Nazis?!—Is that the limit of your vision? The Nazis want to write themselves into the Grail legend and take on the world. Well, they’re welcome. But I want the Grail itself, the cup that gives everlasting life. Hitler can have the world, but he can’t take it with him. I’m going to be drinking to my own health when he’s gone the way of the Dodo.”

  It seems that Donovan views Christ’s mission on earth as nothing more than his own private key to personal health and wealth. Donovan believes in the power of the cup to bring eternal life. Indiana thought of it as a fairy tale. Of the two, I prefer Indiana. I’d rather have a doubting Thomas than a person who believes for the wrong motives, that Christ’s mission is to bring them abundant material wealth and physical health. I see this every day on a massive scale throughout churches across America. Like Donovan, millions of Christians focus on their own personal gain without realizing that such pursuit is a curse, “an adulterous and wicked generation that seeks signs and wonders.” (Matthew 12:39)

  The different views on the Grail resemble what has been going on for centuries; divisions over the aim and purpose of Christ. With so many views, how do we follow Christ’s diary? What is man’s destiny and how will God’s prophetic plan unfold? What is needed is an understanding of God’s plan to help the billions of doubting Thomases and for everyone who desires eternal life. Such is the quest for understanding God’s love letter—The Bible.

  It parallels a statement in the movie; Kasim, the Christian Turk, and one of the knights of the cruciform sword and protector of the Grail, asks Indiana a question after finding Sir Richard’s tomb:

  “Whom does the Grail serve?” Kasim asks Indiana.

  “Ask yourself, why do you seek the cup of Christ? Is it for His glory, or for yours?”

  Christ is to be glorified in all we do, not just in our health and wealth, as some claim.

  Donovan, who thought of himself as a believer, is actually seeking his own glory. He draws his pistol:

  “The Grail is mine, and you’re going to get it for me,” he says to Indiana.

  Donovan then shoots Henry, Indiana’s father, forcing Indiana to enter the path of death. He proceeds forward. His hands open the Grail Diary and he reads from it:

  “The Breath of God…Only the penitent man will pass. Only the penitent man will pass,” he mutters to himself.

  Indiana takes a few steps forward: “The penitent man will pass. The penitent man…The penitent man is humble before God.”

  He kneels before God. A razor sharp pendulum has been guarding a small corridor—the mechanism misses his head since he was bowing, confirming his need to follow the diary’s instructions carefully, step by step. Holding the Grail Diary, his fedora now covered in cobwebs, Indiana reads to himself:

  “The second challenge is the Word of God. Only in the footsteps of God will he proceed… The Word of God…The Word of…”

  Indiana pulls away some cobwebs to reveal a cobblestone path. Each cobble is engraved with a letter he reads from the Diary:

  “Proceed in the footsteps of the Word. The Word of God…”

  The scene then goes back to his father Henry who lies on the ground speaking ahead of Indiana the words:

  “The Name of God…”

  The scene returns to Indiana, who mutters to himself:

  “The Name of God…Jehovah.”

  Guided by the Diary, Indiana circumvents all the deadly booby traps, reaching a room where he finds a knight of the First Crusade, kept alive by the power of the Grail. Donovan and Elsa tentatively ente
r the room. The two of them slowly approach the collection of grails, and Donovan looks at them for a moment. Donovan turns to the knight asking:

  “Which one is it?”

  The knight advises Donovan and Elsa:

  “You must choose. But choose wisely, for as the true Grail will bring you life, the false grail will take it from you.”

  Elsa looks at Donovan, smiles, and selects a beautiful chalice made of gold. Grinning, she hands it to Donovan and he holds it up to the light exclaiming,

  “Oh, yes. It’s more beautiful than I’d ever imagined!”

  Donovan approaches a large vessel filled with water:

  “This certainly is the cup of the King of Kings.”

  He gently fills the cup with water, proclaiming: “eternal life.”

  Donovan drinks from the cup. Looking at his reflection in the water, he can see that he has begun to age rapidly. He gasps:

  “What is happening to me?”

  Now nothing more than skeleton, Donovan crashes against the wall.

  The wind blows away his remains, now turned to dust. Only his Nazi lapel pin remains.

  The Grail Knight utters a telling phrase, “He chose…poorly.”

  At this point Indy spots an unassuming wooden cup with a gold interior worthy of a carpenter and almost unnoticed among the shinny, beautiful cups. Indy takes the small, wooden chalice, walks up to the vessel, dips the cup in it, and, after taking a deep breath, drinks from it. He turns to the knight. Grail Knight utters:

  “You have chosen wisely.”1

  Though the movie is fiction, it reminds me of the real quest I made. I began to pray for a clear understanding after reading the Bible and the symbolic language and mystery in the Book of Revelation which contains prophetic declarations written by ancient prophets who wrote of great judgments against various nations. After my prayer, I began my quest. I read and re-read things I had never understood before. Searching the Scriptures from beginning to end, over and over again, I was on a journey to piece this great puzzle together. The knowledge I gained came gushing down upon me like a river, with spiritual water that quenched my every thirst. It was like a treasure hunt, uncovering one nugget at a time. After quite some time I had accumulated a treasure chest that I will be sharing with you in this book. That you truly want to own all this wealth and evidence, I am not sure. Let me warn you that this quest carries a heavy burden with many trials and tribulations. It could change your life—forever. For “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44)

  Putting a puzzle together is delicate work. You cannot switch pieces or the finished result will be distorted. Let me give you an example. Let’s say that part of a puzzle game called “the Quest for the Grail” is to find “Eternal Life.” You are given letter blocks and you are to put them together to create the correct word. The letters you are given are “VALACRY,” and the hint given to solve this puzzle is “Salvation.” The correct word is “Calvary,” but one could take these same letters and come up with the word “Cavalry,” insisting that a “Cavalry” could actually provide a sense of salvation. This argument would be absurd; Cavalry of course is not the correct answer to the puzzle.

  I know that this is a simple example. Yet, there is much similarity between that example and the prophetic puzzle regarding the Messiah and what has been predicted of Him. The message is simple; the whole purpose of the first advent of the coming Messiah was Calvary. But our focus here will be to solve the puzzle regarding the Messiah’s second coming. For such a mission, one cannot have missing or switched pieces. Everything must fit—like a glove.

  At the end of the journey, after we have put the entire puzzle together, you will find yourself at a fork in this road of destiny. When you get there, you will need to choose. But make sure you choose wisely. You will have the same two choices that I had. But don’t worry; to complete this puzzle, all we need to do is follow a simple manual with the easiest of instructions.

  This writing will resemble the diary written by Henry, Indiana’s father. It will simplify what others have made complex and will show how easy it is to find this eternal treasure. Each chapter will warn you of the lethal cunning devices, placed not by the guardians of our treasure as in the fictional movie, but by the evil forces that are about to be unleashed against us in the near future.

  I will give you instructions on how to avoid pitfalls and how to pinpoint the booby traps to which so many fall prey, ultimately plunging them headlong into eternal damnation. You will learn how the “wicked one” functions; you will learn his schemes and his lies. The dialogue you and I will share will give you the most basic instructions first, for I am afraid your mind may not see everything clearly if I proceed too quickly. I know you might doubt, that’s okay—everyone has some doubts.

  So then, Mr. Doubting Thomas, I promise that by the time you finish reading this, you will never be the same. But beware, by the time you reach that fateful fork in the road, you will have to choose—choose wisely!

  Are You A Fool Or A Bigot? Choose Wisely!

  THE FOOLS

  Let me start from the beginning, not of my life as a terrorist, but from the point in time when I decided to become a Christian. As I began to express my views on university campuses all over America, many labeled me as someone who traded one extreme belief (terrorism) for another (Christian fundamentalism). In the West, many see American evangelicals as extreme, particularly outspoken people, who preach a radical message. Critics often link the fundamentalist Christians as essentially the same as the radical Muslims. But are these two groups the same? Christians may give leftists a headache, but Muslims would cut off their heads! To make a comparison between these two groups is mindless moral equivalency at its best. It could easily be said that such critics have tunnel vision. It would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a grain of wisdom to enter such hearts.

  I have reviewed many books that are Anti-God and Anti-Christian, and I’m not bothered by them at all. That the heart of man does not seek God and is at war with Him simply proves the truth of the Bible. The spiritual war is on—everywhere. I see it when I walk into bookstores at airports as I travel to fight the “War on Terror.” One can find many critical books laced with untruths about Christianity and the Bible. Some of these books are, The Da Vinci Code, The God Delusion, American Theocracy, The Baptizing of America, The End of Faith, Atheist Universe ‘The Thinking Person’s Answer to Christian Fundamentalism,’ Thy Kingdom Come ‘How the Religious Right Distorts the Faith and Threatens America,’ Religion Gone Bad ‘The Hidden Dangers of the Christian Right,’ and God is Not Great.

  Christopher Hitchens, the author of God is Not Great, must have a problem using his first name, which means ‘Christ-bearer.’ Even in the religious section, we find many anti-Christian books displayed on the shelves of bookstores.

  Richard Dawkins, the author of The God Delusion, is a staunch believer in the Darwinian Theory of Evolution. He continually complains that teaching children about hell is a form of child abuse worse than sexual molestation.

  “Really?!”

  If Dawkins’ children were kidnapped at gunpoint and he was given a choice between having his children listen to a sermon entitled “Hell” by John Hagee or having his children molested, would Dawkins really choose the latter? Highly doubtful! So then, is his primary concern for the children, or is it to use children in his argument to attempt to destroy faith in God? Dawkins further shows his concern for children (or lack thereof) in his position on abortion. Dawkins says that if no pain is involved, it should be completely acceptable to kill a baby, as long as it is still in the womb.

  Is pain truly the main issue here? What about the issue of killing innocent babies?

  If Dawkins really cares about protecting children, why does he promote killing them in the womb? Suppose Dawkins could decid
e the conditions acceptable to terminate a life, could others then decide to terminate Dawkins, as long as he was anesthetized with a sufficient quantity of pain killers?

  Dawkins and his ilk would argue that the issue of abortion has nothing to do with God, for He does not even exist, and the faster we get this through our heads, the faster we will finally have peace. This is the thrust of the “Dawkins Gospel.”

  However, if God does not exist, why does Dawkins designate himself to play god by promoting the destruction of the unborn? Why create another creed to replace Christianity? Instead of his book title being The God Delusion, possibly it should be The Dawkins-is-God Delusion. Does Dawkins think it’s okay to evolve himself into a god and decide the fate of an unborn child’s life just because he believes in Evolution? Is Evolution a matter of science as they claim, or a philosophical religious message? Is it even Evolution, or is it Evilution?

  If morality comes from man, who according to Dawkins is simply just another animal, why don’t we see Dawkins walking naked in public, as all other animals do? The concept of clothes was one of the first moral instructions that God gave to man after man sinned. The Bible tells us that God made garments out of skins to cover Adam and Eve’s nakedness (Genesis 3:21). No one has an excuse not to know we need to be covered. It is part of our created instinct! You don’t have to be in the Garden of Eden and witness the fall of man to verify this truth. This is the Gospel—that Christ died to be our covering. When I was growing up as Muslim, I heard the argument that for one man to die in order that another may live is unfair and stupid. Yet this is the message of Salvation, and it can be seen everywhere, including in our daily food; we cannot live unless the innocent die for us. We survive by killing the living; either animals or plants—life must die for life to continue.

  Truth is obvious, but a lie is a process of always casting doubt and suspicion. Mohammed’s false “Gospel of doubt,” that Christ was never crucified, and the leftists “Darwinian Gospel,” that continues to reject what is clearly obvious all around us, are no match to the Christian Gospel. Where is the “Good News” within these false doctrines? I have seen it over and over again—Christ was right—when the world accuses, they accuse you of the things of which they themselves are guilty. They point the finger at you, then accuse you of being a finger-pointer. Dawkins should have plucked the delusion log from his own eye with his believing he’s concerned about protecting children, before pointing to the spec in the eyes of Christians who simply want to save lives—both for the now and the hereafter. Dawkins can’t disprove God’s existence, yet I can prove He does exist. The lie that we cannot prove God’s existence ends here. Everything God proclaimed so long ago in the Bible regarding past and the current events, He has fulfilled.
