We talked about Psalm 83 a few days ago, and this amazing archaeological find in an Irish bog. This is a continuation of that blog and another amazing revelation.
In verse 9-11 of Psalm 83, we are again reminded of Gideon’s great victory with his small 300-man army. The author of this passage reminds implores the Lord to do to those conspiring to harm Israel as He did to the following.
83:9-11 [Lord,]Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. (KJV)
Who are these people? Specifically Zebah and Zalmunna, anyone know? Well as I I started to look into this matter, I began to discover what the Lord is referring to here. Let’s go to Judges 8:21.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength.” So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna…
Okay, so they’re dead guys now — but check this out. Read on.
…and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camel’s necks. (NASB)
What is the symbol of Islam, friends?
Yes, it is the crescent moon.
Coincidence? I think not.
Thousands of years ago, the Lord inspired Asaph to write this Psalm and include this small piece of information critical to our understanding. He then made sure to expose it precisely at the time a serious attack began on Israel by the Islamic forces around her. Wow.
God is good, is He not? He wants us to study and search His Word and keep up with the current signs He’s revealing to us!

Are you saying that the cresent symbol used by the existing diety worship in Gideon’s day is part of the same religion as Muslim? I agree that the hate and murderous heart or spirit is essentially the same. And that Mohammud prior to his blending of Christianity and Jewish beliefs was a murderous thief. So is 1+1+1=Muslim (cresent beliefs+ Jewish faith+ Christianity= Muslim) historically speaking?

“Islam’s origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc. These were pagan rites practiced by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born.” — Robert Morey, author of The Islamic Invasion
