| Jacob Tyler Roberts |
Though we don't yet know what motivated Jacob Tyler Roberts to go on a shooting rampage in a Portland, Oregon shopping mall on December 11, that killed two people before he committed suicide, the item that he's wearing on his shoulders in the above picture gives us a strong clue.
That's a Palestinian Keffiyeh or scarf that's become a popular symbol of rebellion among leftists and anarchists in the western world. The keffiyeh was made popular by the late Yasser Arafat, the former Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) that was established by the Arab League in 1964 for the specific purpose of destroying Israel and driving the Jews out of the Middle East. Arafat was seldom seen in public without his famed keffiyeh and his scarf became his personal trademark, much like the beret worn by communist anarchist Che Guevara.
The keffiyeh, we're told, is a symbol of resistance against Israel. The Palestinians claim that Israel illegally occupied their land in 1948 via the United Nations and then enslaved them into squalid refugee camps. And through an elaborate and effective propaganda campaign sold to a gullible and ignorant western world, the Palestinians and the Islamic world have convinced many that Israel is a criminal entity that continues to seize land that doesn't belong to her while murdering thousands of innocent people.
The Palestinians are a manufactured people that have no history or lineage in that region of the world. And we have dealt extensively on this subject in a previous message on this blog http://prophecyreviewtoday.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-real-islam.html as well as on our website. http://www.prophecyreviewonline.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=77001&columnid=
But the propaganda campaign of hate that has become a new form of anti-Semitism has firmly taken root in the minds of many ignorant folks such as Jacob Tyler Roberts. It was the apostle Paul who prophesied 2,000 years ago that in the last days on earth directly preceding the return of Jesus Christ, many would reject the truth and follow falsehood. Paul wrote: "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
It may turn out that Roberts was just a proverbial whack-job who didn't fit in with mainstream society. We may or may never find out. Certainly, law enforcement officials will comb through his personal items such as computers, phones, possessions and residence to try to establish a motive. They'll talk to friends, acquaintances, parents, relatives, former classmates etc. to try to form a psychological profile of the shooter. And certainly the anti-gun zealots will scream for even more gun control, as if doing away with guns will somehow eliminate evil.
But of this you can be sure; Roberts, like other recent shooters such as Jared Lee Loughner, the man who shot up a Tuscon, Arizona shopping mall on January 8, 2011 that killed six people, was motivated by hatred stoked by leftists. Leftists hate both conservative Christians and Jews; particularly Israelis that they have been convinced are evil. Loughner hated religion and he made no secret of that. And one of his targets was Cong. Gabrielle Giffords who is Jewish. Though Giffords survived the shooting, she was forced to resign from Congress because of her injuries.
The foundation of these tragedies is hatred, not guns. The motivational factor for hatred is rebellion against established authority. And it's leftists rather than conservatives or Tea Party members that almost always sow the seeds of these deadly disasters. Until we confront lies and falsehood with the truth of God's word found in the Bible rather than with empty social crusades, we'll continue to see these tragedies happen again and again.
