Tribulation?: 3 separate Christmas Day bomb attacks kill 37 Christians

Since 9/11 Christians have increasingly been killed and injured in the Middle East and Africa and Christian values in America are under attack. Who knows how long before American Christians themselves, not just their values, will face what Christians in the Muslim world are now facing.

With Jesuits now sitting upon both thrones in Rome, the Black pope and the White pope both being Jesuits, It looks like the Tribulation period of the Biblical end times may well have already begun…

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Militants in Iraq targeted Christians in three separate Christmas Day bombings in Baghdad, killing at least 37 people, officials said Wednesday.

In one attack, a car bomb went off near a church in the capital's southern Dora neighborhood, killing at least 26 people and wounding 38, a police officer said.

Earlier, two bombs ripped through a nearby outdoor market simultaneously in the Christian section of Athorien, killing 11 people and wounding 21, the officer said.

The Iraq-based leader of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Louis Sako, said the parked car bomb exploded after Christmas Mass and that none of the worshippers were hurt. Sako said he didn't believe the church was the target.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but Iraq's dwindling Christian community, which is estimated to number about 400,000 to 600,000 people, often has been targeted by al-Qaida and other insurgents who see the Christians as heretics.
