Political Islam | Discerning Sharia's Trend in the West
What if the global order that kept the seas open and the dollar strong is the same order that must weaken for prophecy to unfold? We dig into the petrodollar’s origins, why America’s role as world policeman must eventually fade, and how this correlates to an Islamic invasion built around Sharia—more than a religion, a system. From “house of war” vs “house of peace” to the logic of taqiyya and the many faces of jihad, we connect headlines to history without losing sight of people Jesus loves.
We field hard questions on Sunni and Shia, the authority of the hadith, and expectations around the Mahdi and Isa. The parallels with biblical categories are jarring: a unifying leader, a global religious impulse, and language at the UN that sounds like covenant-making. But our aim isn’t to sensationalize. It’s to anchor hope. We explain why Islam doesn’t fit the “Judeo‑Christian” frame, how its works-based pillars collide with the gospel of grace, and why food laws and rituals miss the center: a new heart, a new Spirit, and a new allegiance.
The most urgent takeaway lands at home. A faith that costs nothing produces crowds, not disciples. Drawing lessons from the revival in Iran, we talk about why persecution clarifies love, how nominal Christianity withers under pressure, and how to recover the simplicity of following Jesus—deny yourself, pick up your cross, and live by the Spirit. Discernment matters too: not every manifestation is holy, and the Spirit leads with self-control, truth, and obedience. If you’re ready to swap outrage for intercession and fear for fidelity, this conversation will steady your heart for whatever comes next.
