ISIS Chief Challenged to Biblical Elijah Showdown - 'It Is Time Someone Is Calling These Evil Tools of Satan Out'

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


God answers Elijah’s prayers on Mt. Carmel in a battle against 450 prophets of the pagan sun god Baal.

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida – Is one of the most famous showdowns in Bible history about to be re-enacted?

 

An American Christian pastor is taking on the head of the Islamic State terror group known as ISIS, urging him to convert from Islam to Christianity, or take part in a modern-day “whose God will answer by fire” showdown reminiscent of the ancient prophet Elijah’s challenge to prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel in the Old Testament.

“It is time someone is calling these evil tools of Satan out, instead of cowering in the tent as the army of Israel did when taunted by Goliath,” Rev. Bill Keller, founder of Liveprayer.com, told WND.

 

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

 

Keller sent a personal video message to the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, encouraging him to renounce Islam and accept Jesus.

 

Watch Bill Keller’s challenge to the head of ISIS:

 

“As an evangelist, my life’s work and desire is to lead lost souls to faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible says it is God’s desire ALL come to repentance, that none be lost. The fact is Jesus died for the sins of ALL men, even Mr. al-Baghdadi,” Keller said.

 

Al-Baghdadi, 42, recently stepped into the role of “caliph,” saying he would be a “leader for Muslims everywhere.”

But if the ISIS chief does not have a come-to-Jesus moment, Keller says he’s ready for a public demonstration of divine power.

 

“I will come to Iraq, Syria, any location you desire,” says Keller. “We will each take an unblemished animal, cut that animal into pieces, put those pieces on wood, but not set fire to the wood. Once prepared, you have one hour’s time to call on Allah to rain down fire on your offering. If at the end of that hour Allah has still not answered your pleas, I will call upon the one true God of the Bible … not just to bring down fire on my offering, but yours as well.

 

“If your god Allah does not answer you … you will resign as the leader of ISIS. You will retire from your life of terror. You will encourage your followers to live in peace and I will be free to return to the United States.

 

“If your god Allah answers your pleas by fire [and] my God does not, I will renounce the Christian faith, and you’re free to kill me or do whatever you like.”

 

Evangelist Bill Keller, founder of LivePrayer.com, challenges the head of ISIS to a biblical showdown to prove the God of the Bible is the true God.

 

Keller’s challenge is based on a similar event recorded in the 18th chapter of the Book of 1 Kings, as God’s prophet Elijah took on 450 prophets of the pagan sun god Baal, telling the people of Israel, “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.” (1 Kings 18:21)

 

When the prophets of Baal received no answer, Elijah actually made fun of them, sarcastically saying, “Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.” (1 Kings 18:27)

      With all due respect to Evangelist Bill Keller, if an iota is due, it’s quite a hair brained notion and most arrogant, embarrassing to Christianity, for him to think he’ll put God to an Old Testament test. I find this notion of staging a “fire from heaven test” offensive and evil: if Mr. Keller would bother to read in Revelation chapter 13, fire from heaven is no proof of God, a potential trick of the devil. Whatever the case, again, it’s offensive to Christianity to suggest such a test: our faith is not based on a circus show, trying to pimp God to conjure, extra-Biblical signs and wonders, as if some obscene Christian-Muslim magic face-off, and any Christian suggesting such a bizarre thing is a whackjob, a publicity whore, something else, other than behaving truly Christian, and he is to be rebuked.

      What’s important is that people realize what they’re dealing with of Islam. All civilized people need to realize they are at war. Until people wake up that there’s something very wrong with the core teachings of Islam, that it’s antichrist and evil, and that Islam is at war with them, the Jihadists want their blood, that there really is no moderate Muslim which pays any attention to the Koran. Until everybody stops burying their head in the sand and sees this, the Jihadists will increase, terrorism will increase, many more innocents will be tortured and murdered.

      Okay. You don’t care about Christians in such as Egypt or Iraq, football’s more important, while heads are being cut off journalists, even children being beheaded, people herded into ditches and wholesale shot to death, while churches burn, while tens of thousands must flee from their homes. Mr. Obama, I suppose golfing is more important. But let’s just remove religion, entirely, from the American equation. Their goal is to come for you! They want YOU dead if you simply believe in democracy and human rights. Mr. Obama, they aren’t friendly to your LGBT sacred cow, the penalty death. They hate the Constitution, and the end goal is you submit to Sharia, or the penalty is death. Islam represents ultimate, Satanic fascism on steroids, total oppression. All non-Muslims are targets, the Muslims, openly and vocally so, at war with you, as soon as they have a gun, calling for your blood.

      Do you want to know what the Muslims most fear? It’s you waking up to see what the Koran actually teaches, how evil and ugly it is, fear you learn who the Mohammed of Medina really is, right there in black and white, that there is no moderate Islam. They are falling all over themselves to get you to believe the lie that they don’t believe what’s in their book, even want to hide a lot of what’s in the Koran, because even they know it’s ugly and violent, disgusting to non-Muslims, i.e., civilized people, that the end goal is global slavery to Islam and Sharia. ISIS are the orthodox of Muslims, they are as Satanic as it gets, and they are at war with YOU!

      If seeing what Muslims actually do to non-Muslims, given any power, isn’t enough, and regarding the myth of the moderate Muslim, here is where the propaganda comes from:

      Taqqiya – A tactic of lying, concealment; Islamists interpret their scripture to say that they are allowed to lie about the nature of Islam in order to further their political goals.

      John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

      John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…

      1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

        This makes jews more antichrist than Muslims… at least Muslims believe Jesus is a prophet.

        Being anti-Islamic is anti-Semitic justacomment and only Semites should and can be anti-Semitic.

        That’s me dealt with planet Islam. So while you, justacomment, as a semite, might want to live in planet Chrislam in the privacy of your own heart if you in anyway act on this politically amongst non-semites what reason would I have not to just to think that the world would be a better place with you dead in it as a would be agent of ‘Planet Chrislam’?

      To put it in the language of the American culture…

      This topic reminds me of a scene from the original movie, “War of the Worlds.”

      Also a scene from “Red Dawn” where an uneducated American girl tests a
      downed pilot to see if he is a spy by asking him to name the capital of Texas.

      In other words… be careful what you ask for… God is not mocked.
