Libya Attacked by ‘Terrorists’ and ‘Crusaders’

Muammar al-Gaddafi

Libya’s Muammar al-Gaddafi has called those that launched an attack against his troops both terrorists and crusaders:

Nations bombing Libya are ‘terrorists,’ Gadhafi says

CNN International – Nic Robertson, Arwa Damon – ‎20 March 2011

By the CNN Wire Staff Tripoli, Libya (CNN) — Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi called the allied nations bombing his country “terrorists” Sunday, a day after the United States, United Kingdom and France began to enforce a United Nations-mandated no-flyto protect Libya’s civilians from their leader.

Libya Hit by Tomahawk Missiles as Qaddafi Decries Crusaders

San Francisco Chronicle – ‎20 March 2011

The UN’s principal policy-making panel voted 10-0, with five abstentions, to adopt a resolution that establishes a no- fly zone over Libya, demands a cease-fire and allows “all necessary measures” to protect civilians “excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory.”

While Libya has often been considered a terrorist-supporting state, the claim that Moammar Gadhafi calls his opponents terrorists is really no surprise.

Nor is his use of the term “crusaders” (which CNN also reported during its telecast). The term crusaders essentially means “cross-bearers”.

I have long felt that although there will be some cooperation between the Europeans and many Muslims states to eliminate the USA, UK, Canada, and Israel (cf. Psalm 83; Daniel 11:27), I have also felt that because the coming European King of the North will likely enforce a compromised form of religion that he will claim as Catholicism, that many in the Middle East will consider that the Europeans are crusaders (the crusaders were Catholics) who are against them, and that this will trigger the King of the South to push at the King of the North (Daniel 11:40) and the King of the South will be defeated.

Colonel Gadhafi’s use of the term “crusaders” is intended as a rallying cry for his supporters, but also to warn other Muslims that they should not engage so closely with the Europeans.

The situation in Libya is changing and the final King of the South will rise up. The more chaos there becomes in the world in general, and the Middle East/North Africa in particular, the more the stage is being set for the people there to desire to support such a leader.

While troubles will precede the end (Mark 13:5-8), the end will come.

And the final King of the South may rise up soon–and this will be a leader that will cooperated with, then turn against the West (Psalm 83; Daniel 11:27, 40).

Watch (cf. Mark 13:33-37).
