Be not deceived. God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Galatians 6 v 7. THE TERRORIST. What does God have to say? Thou shalt do no murder. 6 th Commandment. Exodus 20 v 13... be sure your sin will find you out. Numbers 32 v 23. all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Matthew 26 v52. So likewise, the same principle applies to those who take up the knife, the gun or the bomb - they shall perish by the same. All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matthew 7 v12. In other words don t do to others what you wouldn t like done to yourself or a member of your Family.
Terrorism is rife throughout the world today. In recent years we have seen the destruction caused by the many terrorist attacks. Even more horrendous is the utter devastation caused by the massive loss of life. In Northern Ireland we have had our fair share of violence and terrorism. Many young people have grown up with The Troubles and sad to say, have accepted violence as a way of life. Not only in Northern Ireland but all over the world, Leaders and Politicians have had thousands of Meetings about Peace. Millions of words have been spoken and Peace Agreements have been made - but at the end of the day true and lasting peace can only be found when people genuinely turn to God. Most people believe in God, but very few are willing to make that total commitment of their lives tohim. As the Bible says:- This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Matthew 15 v 8. It is ONLYwhat is done for GOD in this life that counts. When death comes the only thing that will matter is: Did you ACCEPT Jesus Christ or Did you REJECT Jesus Christ? What terrorist group or paramilitary Organisation you represent will make absolutely no difference. Over the years terrorists have been responsible for thousands of horrific murders. This land, like so many other nations throughout the world, is left with a multitude of broken-hearted people. Fathers and Mothers grieving the loss of Sons and Daughters. Children grieving for Parents. Wives grieving for Husbands. Countless children left Fatherless. What is it all for??? At this point we address THE TERRORIST. At this point we address THE TERRORIST.
Do you realise that HELL is full of Terrorists, who fought, killed and died for their cause? BUT IN HELL - They will have discovered the error of their ways. IN HELL - They will have discovered there are no labels of any Paramilitary or Terrorist organisation. Neither Loyalist nor Nationalist None. IN HELL - They will have discovered their Cause wasn t important after all. There will be no mention of Protestant or Catholic. IN HELL - There will be no boasting about blowing this group or that group off the face of the planet. IN HELL - They will have discovered the stark reality that if any man commits murder, eg. If a terrorist from one organisation murders a terrorist from his opposing organisation - if both die unsaved - they will both share that same Hell. Forever and without hope. IN HELL - There is no reward awaiting them. There is only despair - Weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Read for yourself Matthew 8v12 - Matthew 22v13-24v51-25v30 Luke 13v28. IN HELL - The Bible says their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9. Verses 44, 46, 48. IN HELL - They will have no way out. They will be screaming hysterically Why didn t someone tell me the truth? Why didn t someone warn me? If you are a terrorist, reading this now. Take Heed. IN HELL - The Terrorist will have discovered, too late, that he or she rejected Jesus Christ - instead of accepting Him as Lord and Saviour. IN HELL - They will have discovered they are not Gideon s chosen few as some Paramilitaries and terrorists believe. IN HELL - It will be too late to put into practice the following Scripture. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, Fear God and keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12 v 13. Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; and the second it like unto it, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self. There is none other Commandment greater than this. Mark 12 v 30-31.
In The Bible - The horrors of HELL are described in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Luke 16 v 22 26. And it came to pass that the beggar, Lazarus, died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham s bosom The rich man died and was buried; and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, with Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. Beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Luke16 v 22-26. So, if you are involved in terrorism: You have been warned. You can no longer say you weren t told the truth. It is only what is done in this life for The Lord Jesus Christ, that counts for eternity. The Bible says in Mark 8 : 36. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and loose his own soul? What shall it profit him indeed??? Living with your conscience. All over this land, and indeed all over the world, there are men and women, both young and old, who cannot sleep because of their conscience. Their minds are in turmoil with the grievous burden of terrible deeds for which they are responsible, horrendous murders they have committed. Yes, conscience is a fearful thing. You may think you have dodged The Law and escaped prison, but suddenly your conscience turns out to be far worse than either the law or prison. Remember it is The Spirit of God who convicts you of your sin. And as The Bible says, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10 v 31. As a Terrorist, you probably get paid by your Organisation for your active service. You may have a beautiful house - a top of the range car etc., but remember, what good or what blessing can these things bring. Material possessions will last only for a season, eternity is forever. No matter how many luxuries you may have, they certainly will not bring you happiness or peace of mind. You could be prospering here on earth today - and be gone tomorrow - but the big question is:- Where will you spend eternity? Heaven or Hell. You brought nothing into this world and it is certain you can carry nothing out. 1 Timothy 6 v 7.
However, one thing is certain - you will give an account of your life to God. What a terrifying thought to stand guilty and unsaved before a Holy God - and to face His judgement. It is an awesome thought!! God is a God of love and a God of mercy but He is also a God of wrath. Remember you may hide from man, but you cannot hide from God. Be sure your sins will find you out! Numbers 32 v 23. In 2007, here in Northern Ireland republicans were commemorating the 25 th Anniversary of the Hunger Strikers. Every time we saw the Bill Boards which were displayed and the pictures of those men, we sorrowfully thought - if only those men could come back to this earth right now, what would they tell their comrades? Many terrorists volunteer as hunger strikers or suicide bombers, believing a great reward awaits them on the other side. What a rotten lie!! There is no reward! All that awaits them is the devil and hell fire. The devil himself mocking and taunting - reminding them continually how he deceived and tricked them. No matter how they weep and wail - it will be to no avail - they have no way out - they re in hell to stay - forever and ever and ever. Their fate is sealed! When hunger strikers or suicide bombers die on so-called active service, they become martyrs for their cause - but oh, dear me, if they could only come back to this earth for just five minutes - you can be assured they would not encourage others to do as they did. They would be shouting and yelling the warning of Hell - not only to their comrades but to everyone, even their enemies. Could it be that as you read this book every word is like a knife piercing your heart - you know you are involved in terrorism? Maybe you are a murderer or a mass murderer. Face reality - you re on your way to Hell. There is only one answer! Come clean, it is the only way. If you have committed murder or some other serious crime - if you are genuinely sorry then Cry out to Jesus Christ in repentance of your sins and ask His forgiveness. Genuinely accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. Then when you own up to the truth He will help you. He will also help you to pay the just penalty. Pray to The Lord and ask Him to give you the courage to go to the relevant authorities and admit what you have done. Restitution must be made - not only to society - but more importantly to the broken-hearted Families whose lives you have destroyed. Their loved one has gone forever, you are still alive. It is only The Lord who understands how these Families feel. They may even be unsure as to how their loved stood spiritually. It is our firm held belief that, just as God knows those for whom death is imminent - so He has His own ways and means of speaking into the heart and life of those individuals giving them that opportunity of making their peace with Him. However, it is only The Lord Jesus Christ who can help you face those Families you have so devastated by murdering or maiming their loved one. In turn only The Lord can give those Families the courage to come face to face with you.
Jesus says in John 6 v 37. Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1 v 18. Jesus Christ went to the cruel cross of Calvary and shed His Precious Blood so that you might be saved and set free from the clutches of the devil. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners 1 Timothy 1 v 15. The Apostle Paul described himself as the chief of sinners - he was a murderer, but Jesus Christ came into his life and set him free. No matter what your political persuasion, what terrorist organisation you belong to, or how vile a sinner you may be, Jesus Christ longs for you to Repent turn to Him and be saved. It is not God s will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. As the words of the chorus says:- What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. After reading this leaflet, no matter who you are, if you are convicted of the sin in your life and genuinely want to change your ways, then simply in sincere repentance of your sins, ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and He will. The following is a short Prayer for guidelines, but remember, there must be genuine repentance from your heart otherwise this Prayer will not save you. Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge before you that I am a deep, deep sinner. I am responsible for some terrible deeds. I cannot bear to think of them. I cannot sleep in my bed at night. Will you please help me? Will you help me to do what I have to do - to make restitution? As I come to you in humble and sincere repentance of all my past sins, will you please forgive me and cleanse me? I know that you shed your own precious blood and died for me on that cruel cross of Calvary that I might be saved. I thank you for paying the price for my sins. I know that by your resurrection you are now seated at the right hand of your Father ever interceding on my behalf. So right now I trust you as my Lord and Saviour. From this day, I turn my life over to you completely. I want to obey your Commandments and walk in your ways for the rest of my life. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen. If you have genuinely prayed this Prayer of Repentance and asked Jesus to come into your heart as your Saviour, then the next vital thing you must do, is tell someone, your Minister or some other born again Believer who will help you in your new found faith.
