If you are among those in America who would profess to
embrace the Christian faith then this message is for you. The concept of an
ongoing warfare is not new, but as we move progressively towards the end of the
age it becomes ever more intense. We find full evidence of the conflict in the
New Testament and it was raging even at the time of the eerily church.
Christians who were completely committed to the gospel of Christ became the
object of persecution and martyrdom very early in the history of the Christian
faith. It is very likely that many were tortured and murdered and if we knew
all of the facts we would probably find that among the original twelve apostles
of Jesus Christ many met their demise by physical violence. It is clear from Acts chapter seven that
Stephen was stoned to death by the Jewish council, i.e. the Sanhedrin for
simply confronting them with the truths of their own sin and their rejection of
their intended Messiah. Down through the ages this reality has always been true
to a greater or lesser degree. If we would travel to many of the Muslim
countries in the Middle East today we would find that Christians are severely
persecuted and even subjected to very violent death. Because it has not yet
come to America we are insulated from these realities. I assure you that we are
not far away from the time that it will all change. The closer we come to the
end of the age the more intense the inevitable reality of the spiritual
conflict will become.
The
testimony of Christ has several major enemies the foremost being a progressive
and ongoing state of apostasy which exists and thrives almost everywhere in those
gatherings where a profession of Christianity is made. Virtually every
denomination has a different twist on what they would assure us is sound
doctrine. This was already a significant problem in the early days of the
church as we can read in the New Testament. When the Roman Catholic Church
emerged as the dominant force in a form of religion wherein Christianity became
something of a state religion but being in denial of the power thereof we find
apostasy flourishing. The Reformation was an attempt to recover biblical truth,
but clearly its effects were not able to bring about a uniform and clear
statement of biblical truth. The enemies strategy has always been one of divide
and conquer.
There have been revivals down through the centuries in
various locations where the Holy Spirit has been able to grip the hearts of
people and effect dramatic change. Certainly in this present day that is the
greatest current need. I believe as
the powers of darkness move progressively to annihilate
true Christianity we will experience a renewal and revival but it most
certainly will be accompanied by persecution.
And it will occur in a remnant whose commitment is unwavering.
The
attacks will come from without for other religious peoples hold a violent
opposition to the testimony of Christ. Islam is major among them and we are now
experiencing in America a dramatic influx of Muslims into this country. This is
being openly promoted by the President for it has become obvious that he is a
devoted Muslim. This in itself presents a danger to those who would be openly
committed to Christ. The attitude of many
if not most Muslims are simply that infidels who do not endorse their religion
must either convert or they deserve to die. Their prevailing attitude towards
America is that she is the “great Satan”. This belief has been greatly advanced
by the numerous wars and insurgencies in the Middle East. It is the belief of
Islam that they are to control and
dominate the world.
A
second grave danger comes from Talmudic Judaism. Large numbers of Christians
are deceived into the belief that the Jews are God’s “chosen people” and are
destined to again to completely inhabit the ancient “promised land” and prevail
there for a millennium. The Scriptures
do not support this view. However,
there are large numbers of Ashkenazi Jews (not the
seed of Abraham) whose goal and purpose is precisely to establish a “greater
Israel” geographically in that exact location. These people, contrary to what m any
Christians believe, intend to establish their New World Order centered in their
concept of establishing a “greater Israel” and completely destroying any
testimony of Christ on the earth. So many in the Christian community are
completely deceived and uninformed of this agenda and are blinded by their
doctrinal attitudes towards ethnic Jews. In my writings and books I have sought
to uncover and explain these deceptions for it must be understood that the Jews
who are essentially in control of the world’s financial and political systems
have an avowed hatred for Christ. The Noahide laws of Talmudic Judaism have
been adopted by the United States Congress and they include a death sentence to
any who would openly proclaim Jesus Christ to be Lord. My book The Israel
Deception reveals fully these truths and my book on end time prophecy provides
a full biblical disclosure of developing world events in light of the prophetic
Scriptures.
