In Egypt, Coptic Christians make up 10-15% of the population, but they are not allowed to be part of the national team, and even local clubs refuse to let them play. Only Muslims can play.
This is apartheid.
Unfortunately, there are also believers who consider ‘the Rapture’ an unimportant point and have never thought about whether the Bible specifically speaks about it. There is often even an attitude of ‘I am far above such a discussion’ and they seem proud of not being concerned with the matters of the Second Coming. That is a strange attitude, because it is such a major point in the entire Bible. How can one sometimes turn away from it with any arrogance? The Rapture and our view of it has major consequences for the interpretation of the rest of the Bible, the relationship of the Church to Israel and the development of history. It is closely related to what Paul calls “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) that he proclaims as an apostle. Moreover, it has everything to do with the hope from which a Christian may live. Is our future ‘the wrath of God in the whole world’ (Rev. 6:16) or is our future ‘the meeting with our Savior in his glory’ (1 John 3:2)? That makes quite a difference!
Generally speaking, there is this common ground on which all Christians stand, namely that the true believer no longer falls under the wrath of God, but may live by grace. That is why ‘the wrath to come’ (1 Thess. 1:10) is not intended for the true church of Christ (Rom. 5:9).
Actually, we are already in the middle of the question of the time at which the Church will be taken up into glory. Paul says to the church of Thessalonica: "But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that ‘the day of the Lord’ – that is, the Great Tribulation (!) – will come as a thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:1,2). This is clearly about future events, in which there is a great difference between believers and unbelievers (verses 4-5). Unbelievers will be surprised by the Great Tribulation as by ‘a thief in the night’. This does not apply to the Church of Christ. Paul writes clearly here about that enormous contrast between the future of the believer and that of the unbeliever: "God has not appointed us to wrath..." (verse 9). He writes this after he has written about the Rapture in chapter 4. The church of Christ will never experience the Great Tribulation here on earth, that is also clearly read in Revelation 6 to Revelation 19 in which you will not encounter the Church of Christ anywhere here on earth!
The rapture saves the Church from the horrors of the coming judgments (the Great Tribulation) and also saves them from the hands of the antichrist. (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Every single dot = 100 illegal immigrants into Europe over just 16 years.
12 million invaders have swamped the continent.
And they call this "multiculturalism" and DIEversity.
This is an invasion.
An open invasion!
Geert Wilders: “We must immediately stop immigrants from Islamic countries from entering the country. Go to an Islamic country. You can enjoy the rules of Islam there.”
Thoughts?
More anti-Jewish hate in Spain 🇪🇸: At the running of the bulls festival, a giant sign was unfurled, calling for the destruction of the country where over half of world Jewry lives.
Spain kicked out all its Jews in 1492. I guess they still don't want us to have anywhere to go.
Iranians at Khamenei's funeral in Tehran today have a giant effigy President Trump hanging with his hands covered in blood as protestors chant “Death To America” and “Kill Trump”.
Why are we negotiating with these animals again?

British ‘journalist’ Bushra Shaikh is at Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral and describes him as a “man of peace”. What a grotesque insult to all his victims.
The IRGC is using AI to make it seem like more people are attending Khamenei’s funeral, when in reality, the streets are barely full of people.
Muslims are very good liars.
🚨 Zohran Mamdani is a 3rd world pro-Islamist Communist who has NO RIGHT to tell Americans that we are a nation of foreigners on our 250th!
Send him back!
TRUMP NAILED IT: "It’s a big threat to our nation, actually, because it's not socialism, it's really communism! They use the word social democrat because it sounds so nice, but it's really communism."
“There's never been anything so dangerous.”
“I think it's the biggest threat to our nation. There is, maybe since our founding, that includes World War I, World War II, September 11th. It includes the Pearl Harbor attack.”
“I think this is the biggest threat to our nation. People will smile when I say that, but the smart people are going to say, you know, it's probably right. It's basically introducing communism into the United States of America!”
A woman in Belgium is outraged by posters of Muslim women in burkinis promoting the start of summer.
“This is ridiculous! Antwerp has become Islamabad! Islamization must end!”
'Start ripping up visas of Pakistanis living in Britain then pull the hundreds of millions in foreign aid we give them!'
@AlexArmstrong asks why the Labour government has been 'weak' against Pakistan's government in efforts to get grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed deported.

In the last 25 years, Iraq’s Assyrian Christian population has collapsed from over 2 million to just 100,000. A true genocide.
Even after the horrors of the Islamic State, their faith remains unshaken.

All illegals should be deported and borders secured. We will make Europe great again”
An angry Muslim woman yells at British police officers:
“We fought for this country! If you have any rights, it’s because of us Muslims who fought for them!”
Fun fact: More ‘British’ Muslims volunteered to fight for ISIS than to serve in the UK army.
