The other night as I was driving home I heard “The Michael Savage” broadcast.

I am one of the people that likes Michael Savage, despite some unlikeable things about him, because he is a genuine person. In fact, he is my age-mate – as is Rush Limbaugh.

Michael (Weiner) Savage seems to have had early years like my own, hanging around the university way too long, and knowing far too many university professors.

As I was listening to one of his entertaining rants, he played the awful audio of the death of Nicholas Berg: a death none of us want to think about. You may recall that Nick Berg was beheaded by Arab militants last year. On one of my broadcasts I suggested to my listeners that Nick Berg was publicly beheaded not only for being an American, but for being Jewish.

While you will not find much agreement between me and modern Jews, those of you follow Biblestudy.net carefully enough realize that it our purpose to reach the Jew first, and also the Gentile, and that though we do not find the Jewish viewpoint palatable very often, nevertheless they are beloved by us for the sake of our Lord Jesus, Who IS a Jew.

I say I find Michael Savage “entertaining” – and I do – but the fellow is sounding out much of the frustration and sense of impending disaster that many of us feel palpably. Savage has solid criticism, but not solid answers. The error I made when a young fellow – before my introduction into the grace of God in Jesus Christ – is that I mistakenly followed the answers given by those whose criticism was valid.

That’s a tragic error made by many.

In any case, when he played an audio of the beheading death of Nichoals Berg, it was bone-chilling, and sent my mind racing to the horror that is beheading, and the realization that it occurs in the Bible on a few occasions, and that it was the {signal death|Mark 6:27-28} of the greatest of the prophets, John the Baptist, and carried out by the great Idumean (Edomite, from Esau) pretender among the Jews, Herod the Great.

It is interesting to note in the Scripture that beheading will be the practice of the false prophet ({beast from the earth|Rev 3:11}) and man of sin ({beast from the sea|Rev 13:1}) for those who refuse to take the {beast’s mark|Rev 13:16-17} during the time of the great tribulation.

It’s painful to consider that this heinous, barbaric method of execution will become the common practice throughout the whole world when the man of sin comes to power, but we can see OF THE FUTURE in the present tendency as barbarism begins to take hold in the world today, albeit in the world of Islam.

However, no one should make the mistake of thinking that Islam is somehow the religion of the man of sin: it is not. Islam considers that Allah is Deity (despite the fact he is not), and the religion of the man of sin will be personal and private devotion to {Satan himself|Dan 11:37-39}. He will not countenance rivals, even if called “Allah.” However, once again, it is OF THE FUTURE religion, for Allah is a foreign deity to Jews and Christians alike, and we can again see the tendency of man to rush headlong into the time of the man of sin.

Indeed, as the Lord told the Jews who rejected Him, there’s {another coming|Jo 5:43} whom they will receive.
