Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:     Joel  3:14

I heard one commentator refer to ISIS and radical Islam as “a cult of death.” How accurate! These brutes love death better than life. Supposedly, they claim by their horrendous misinterpretation of religion that they are given the power of life and death over others who do not yield to their religious beliefs and religious rule. They kill with heartless abandon and delight in the suffering and death of the victims. Children, women, men who haven’t fought against them, and those who have, have been shot in the head, beheaded, crucified, and if these killers had the opportunity they would kill or enslave everyone of another faith throughout the entire world. And, they hide their wicked faces behind masks like men who loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil (cf. John 3:19). They do and they are.

You cannot appease such fanatical serial killers, merciless monsters Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes (Romans 3:14-18). Neither can the nations of the world allow them to hold the world hostage to their evil warfare. The nations of the world have a duty to work together to cut this cancer out of the body of humanity so that others may live, so that some peace may bless the world by saving lives, lifting the fear of the sword from the lives of peaceful  people in every country, by increasing international, cooperation, and encouraging freedom for every human being everywhere.

If the nations of the world come together to stop this evil, I hope, their confidence can be what the LORD told Moses when he faced a similar enemy:  Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand… (Numbers  21:34). So the prophetic cry is: Nations of the middle east, nations of Europe and Asia, nations of North and South America, nations elsewhere in the world,  do the right thing, get together and work for the entire world’s self-interest by stopping the spread of ISIS butchery.
