Secret “Jesus” Bible codes inscribed on American military weapons
ABC News reports that high-powered rifle sights provided to the US Army and Marines by Michigan weapons maker Trijicon include coded references to Bible passages about Jesus Christ:
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.
U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious “Crusade” in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents.
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads:
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Yes, right out of the crusades. Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere in the corporate news. In a joking
manner I wonder “what would jesus say?”, but in a more correct approach “us out of middle east!”

is that 800,000 gunsights figure correct?
Because there are only a total of 154,000 personnel in the entire United States Marine Corps – including reservists – and only a few hundred of those marines are snipers.
I could see their total production run being 800,000, including scopes sold to every government and private entity they sell their gunsights to – but all US military forces (Army, Army Reserves, National Guard, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard) combined could not use that many sniper scopes, because, even if you include all branches of the armed forces, they only have a couple thousand snipers, and only snipers need those kind of very expensive and very specialized long range gunsights.

light of knowledge out of your Ampeerialist racist white Christian arse. Jesus blood and skin colour was much more like our sand nigger bodies that is the color of desert under sunshine and more like north Afrikan peoples than those Hollywood Sahioonist made blue eyes devils.
Search for original Jesus words before bloody Saul diverted our faith. Our government? no good but, please when not on draft duty, don’t make money out of our bloods. let us make our wrong religious rectifications.
