The Weopons of Our Warfare


            Mostly obscure to the vast majority of those who would claim to be Christian there is a raging spiritual war progressing and it is  ever escalating. For the most part the church, at least in America is in a state of passive apostasy. This may not be the case in other places such as the Middle East where Christian’s have undergone brutal persecution and martyrdom on a vast scale.  But in America the attitude is generally that the American wars of aggression against Moslem states is a good thing because they see them as the enemies of Israel.  The mindset is that this counterfeit nation of Isreal represents God’s ‘chosen people’ and they are destined to prevail and be blessed even unto a millennial rein over the entire earth. This issue alone makes them oblivious to the real agenda of the enemy as relates to Israel and its eventual emergence in influence and power all of which is an orchestration of Lucifer’s plan for a New World Order to be dominated by the Antichrist.  Yes, there is an active and ongoing agaenda for a "Greater Israel".  But this deception is so widespread among evangelicals and other Christians that it brings them to blindly endorse the death and destruction as an omen of biblical prophecy in the process of fulfillment. It is in fact a central element of the ongoing spiritual war but alas  it is progressing to an end which is entirely opposite of their misguided perceptions. This apostasy leads to a deception which nullifies their involvement in any effective resistance to the enemy’s agenda.
            Contributing to the delusion are false theological conclusions held widely among Christians including the Calvinist precepts of ‘unconditional election’, ‘irresistible grace’ and ‘perseverance of the saints’. These concepts are unsupported by the truths of Scripture and they inevitably lead individuals into a state of passivity and blindness neutralizing and nullifying their effectiveness in the spiritual conflict. After all if the Jewish nation is predestined to rule over the world for a millennia as the ‘chosen people’ then America must be a righteous nation in their support of Israel and certainly these Zionist Christians are justified in supporting the ongoing wars of aggression in the Middle East. Unfortunately a true understanding of the teaching of Scripture supports the reality that Israel of old due to their breach of covenant and insistence on the crucifixion of Christ resulted in the abrogation of that covenant and judgement at the hand of a righteous God. The reasoning is that if Israel as an ethnic, political, and religious entity is to prevail on the earth then the church must necessarily be ‘raptured’ in order for God to return  to his dealings with them to marvelously bring to them collective salvation. This preposterous outcome is guaranteed in their minds and places them in the enemy’s camp in support of lies that are totally contradicted by the scriptures. They in effect have taken up the cause of the evil one in support of this false icon, i.e. the nation state of Israel.
            These conditions that exist in modern day Christendom in America deny the reality of the ongoing warfare that they are effectively and willingly ignorant of. “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (II Cor. 10:4-5) The foregoing doctrines and theological concepts certainly represent strongholds against the truth of the Word of God. The craft and deceit of the enemy is to utilize these lies and deceptions to capture the hearts and minds of people and to place them in denial concerning the accurate proclamations of Scripture.
       The minds of people become a stronghold which must be spiritually renewed or 
we remain a captive of our deceptions.(See Rom. 12:1-2).    Our natural thought
processes of reasoning reinforce our deception and block the truth from being able to
be comprehended. Thus, we are admonished to:
            Put on the whole amour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and hving done all to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness: and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: and above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all of the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.”(Eph. 6:10-13-17).

          Until you have embraced sound doctrine you will inevitably project it forward
into complete distortions in the interpretation of the prophetic scriptures.
         I Recommend all three of my books for accurate interpretations both in doctrine
and prophecy.  These Prophets and the Revelation,  The Israel Deception, and
Christian Zionism and the Scofield reference Bible.
