Jonah, the Whale, the Assyrians, Christianity and Islam Ashur ShirshI

The Assyrians accepted Jonah and his message from God, and for this God made them “the work of my hands” [Isaiah 19:23-25] and the “rod of my anger” [Isaiah 10:5]. He also assigned to them a task to be completed upon the Second Advent: The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. [Matthew 12:41]

Christendom must stand united in defense of Christians, and in particular the Assyrians of Iraq. Let it begin with a simple gesture: let all Christian churches observe the Rogation of the Ninevites this year, in solidarity with their Christian brethren, the Assyrians of Iraq, who are on the frontline of the clash of Islam with Christianity.

When the Muslims entered Our Lady of Deliverance church in Baghdad on October 31, they shot at the Cross until it disintegrated; they immediately shot Father Tha’ir; one of them approached Father Wasim, standing behind the pulpit, and in response to Father Wasim’s request that he join him in prayer he detonated his suicide belt, killing Father Wasim and many others; they shot the parishioners while taunting them that they will go to hell as infidels; they shouted “Alahu akbar!” as they detonated their suicide belts; they demanded the release of two Christian women in Egypt whom they mistakenly believed to have converted to Islam and who were being held against their will by Egyptian Christians. The Muslims who committed the massacre were thinking purely in religious terms. They acted in defense of Islam and (in their minds) of two persecuted Muslim women in another country.

It is time for Christians to unite and come to the defense of Assyrians and Christendom, and to stop the Islamic onslaught.
