2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8, “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed.”
The Holy Bible foretells of the coming Antichrist, who will rise to power as
a world leader. Satan's
master plan (i.e., the
working toward the coming Antichrist) was already at work even during the
days of the apostle Paul. The preceding video sermon by Pastor Steven
Anderson is excellent, but I disagree with his
PreWrath Rapture (chart) position. I believe that the Holy Bible teaches
a PreTribulation Rapture. This “mystery of iniquity” (the
spirit of Antichrist) is still at work today, marching ahead in full force:
2nd Thessalonians 2:3-12, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [hindereth] will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Today the spirit of Antichrist, and the spirit of iniquity, are at work, which already existed in New testament times. The Bible mentions a Beast that rises up out of the sea, having the characteristics of FOUR BEASTS:
Revelation 13:1-2, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads [world powers throughout history] and ten horns [modern world power nations], and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon [Satan] gave him [Antichrist] his power, and his seat, and great authority.” [added comments]
The book of Daniel coincides with the preceding passage of Scripture. The book of Daniel foreshadows the end times global (or world) government (aka, a New World Order). In the following prophetic passage from Daniel, the FOUR BEAST of Revelation 13:1-2 are individually mentioned. We see a prophetic snapshot of history spanning from Babylon to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (I have added my comments in red type):
Daniel 7:1-9, “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion [Babylon], and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear [Medo-Persia], and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard [Greece], which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads [four kingdoms Alexander the Great's empire was divided into]; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast [Rome], dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces [the divided Roman empire], and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns [ten modern nations]. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn [Antichrist], before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things [Revelation 13:5, “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.”]. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days [Jesus Christ] did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”
Isn't that beautiful? The Word of God tells us the future. Bible prophecy is history written in advance. The Holy Scriptures mention a coming global government, ruled by one man, the Antichrist... “POWER WAS GIVEN HIM OVER ALL KINDREDS, AND TONGUES, AND NATIONS” (Revelation 13:7b).
Except those who get saved during the Tribulation period, the entire unsaved world will worship the Antichrist (Beast). The Antichrist will make war with the saints and overcome them, killing them. Literally, the world will become a giant prison planet enslaved to the Antichrist and his Luciferian Illuminati who serve Satan:
Revelation 13:3-9, “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
Notice that “ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM” (Antichrist), whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Revelation 13:10-14, “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast [False Prophet] coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb [symbolized by Baphomet, a major Masonic figure], and he spake as a dragon [Satan]. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men [I believe this is Star-Wars-like laser technology from space satellites... just my opinion], And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”
The whole world is going to be brought into line with Judaism. That is the religion of the Antichrist! Everywhere today, professed Christians are claiming to have found their “Hebrew roots.” It is becoming a huge movement. Another popular term today is “Torah observing Christians.” It's a big buzz amongst homeschoolers. This is the satanic merging of Judaism with Christianity into a false religion of end time apostasy. You've probably heard a lot of talk about “blood moons” and celebrating “feast days.” Beware of it, it is of the Devil. Jews only comprise 2% of the American population, yet Jews account also for 30% of Buddhists in America (aka, JewBu's). There will be a uniting of Judaism and Buddhism in the end times.
We are hearing about Chrislam (Christianity merged with Islam). Satan is trying to dilute the different religions into one movement. The different religions won't lose their individual identities; but rather, will share a common religious view of Theosophical (Luciferian) spirituality instead of Biblical theology. This Luciferian dogma includes a tolerance for homosexuality. The Devil's message today is for everyone to unite in the name of peace. Daniel 8:25, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” The churches are being destroyed today by the deception of tolerating wickedness under the guide of God's love for everyone. Although we are commanded to love (1st John 4:11), we are also commanded to refute all works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). It is a sin to lack either! Psalms 97:10 tells believers to HATE EVIL!!!
Too many pastors, evangelists, missionaries,
churches and preachers today are dipping their sails in sinful compromise,
refraining from preaching against sin in an attempt to reach the lost with
the Gospel. Consequently, churches have become soft on sin!!! When
homosexuals feel comfortable attending church, something is VERY WRONG!!!
We've even got pastors today who are blaming Christians for driving
homosexuals away from God, allegedly because churches fail to love sodomites
and baby them with a milk bottle, bib and pacifier. If people won't come to
Jesus Christ apart from admitting being wicked sinners, they cannot be saved
(John 3:20; 1st John 1:8-10). God only saves THE UNGODLY (Romans 4:5-6).
There is a satanic agenda today to get the churches to embrace the
homosexual community in the name of “love,” so that preachers no longer say
anything offensive that may drive queers away! That is a wicked philosophy.
Preachers must cry aloud against all sin and wickedness, without compromise
and without apology!
Satan is Deceiving the Whole World
Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
Here are several ways that Satan is deceiving the churches today. Satan has crept into the churches. I encourage you to read these many articles that I am linking to. I intentionally repeat many truths in my writings, because repetition is the key to learning. Every article that I write dilutes the total sum of all my articles. With that truth in kind, I am careful not to fill up my websites with garbage. I have visited countless websites, where there was so much information that I lost interest. It was too boring and overwhelming to read, in some cases. I want my articles to get read. I have one goal, which is to help you. I want people to get born-again. Then I want them to grow spiritually in the Lord. I want them to become a soul-winner, so they can win souls to Christ and be very happy in Heaven one day. I want you to better understand the world today, from a Christian perspective.
Satan is a beautiful liar, and his sinister ministers are everywhere, corrupting the churches (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). Heresy is creeping into our fundamental Baptist churches by the hour. Please listen to the MP3 sermon by Dr. Jack Hyles titled, “FUNDAMENTALIST HERESY.” Watch your back Jack! Dispensationalism is a false doctrine, which has been used to sneak Zionism into the churches. Zionism is manmade Israel. By tricking the churches to support manmade Israel, the Illuminati (Luciferians who control the world) are exploiting the churches to support the forming Beast system of the coming Antichrist. The most effective attack by Satan has been the modern Bible revision movement. By incrementally changing the Bible, Satan is gradually corrupting the Word of God to destroy the churches. The church today has lost her authority!!! The modern Bible versions are a part of the Luciferian conspiracy to build a New World Order. NEW WORLD ORDER BIBLE VERSIONS (an awesome 1:46 hour documentary).
In
a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Prolific author, George Orwell, said that in his book “1984.” He is correct.
Deception abounds today, from the lying mainstream newsmedia to the
counterfeit Bible versions flooding our churches. The most frustrating thing
about deception is how easily so many people buy into it. Author Mark Twain
rightly said, “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they
have been fooled.” So true! If there is one thing I could teach you, next to
the Gospel, it would be to think “objectively.” That is, question
everything!!!
Satan knows that the most effective deception is the half-truth. Satan often hides a LIE between two TRUTHS. The half-truth is the most effective deception, because in part it can be defended with incontestable logic! This is the case today with many false prophets, who pervert the Gospel. For example: Consider Evangelist Paul Washer's corrupt plan of salvation. He teaches that eternal life is a free gift, paid for by Jesus' blood, but then he plainly says that you cannot know you're saved in a moment. Mr. Washer teaches that it is wrong to write down your name and the date you were saved, in the back of your Bible. The reason why is because he says you've got to prove you're saved by the life you live. Folks, that is not the simplicity that is in Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Discipleship is not evidence of sonship! Do you see how Paul Washer hides a lie between two truths?
Beware of anyone who teaches that you cannot know you're saved immediately, right now, permanently. If salvation us a gift, and it absolutely is, then there's nothing that needs to be added. If you admit that you are a guilty sinner in God's sight (Romans 3:19), and you BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (John 20:31), Who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and then bodily resurrected three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-6), and that is your only hope for forgiveness of sins and eternal life... YOU ARE SAVED!!! Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Believe on the Good News [Gospel] of Jesus Christ and the work is done!!! We are saved by BELIEVING the Good News! That's it! It is that simple to be saved. How you choose to live is an entirely separate matter of discipleship (Romans 12:1). God scourges and chastises His disobedient children (Hebrews 12:6-8).
For a crash course on the New World Order, I highly recommend reading everything you can find by Commander William Guy Car (1895-1959). See, PAWNS IN THE GAME and SATAN: PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. Also, THE CONSPIRACY. You need to know that the ultimate plot of the Luciferian leaders of this world (aka, the Illuminati) is World War III. Also, please watch the 2:19 hour awesome, historical, eye-opening, documentary by Alex Jones titled, END GAME!
I believe the Antichrist is alive and being
groomed to become a world leader. The Bible calls him the “man of sin”
(2nd Thessalonians 2:3). Therefore, the Devil is promoting
all
manner of sexual perversion and
atheism to prepare the world to receive the “man of sin,” the “Beast,”
the Antichrist. Revelation 13:4, “And they worshipped the dragon which
gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is
like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” A cashless
society is coming. A highly technological police state is coming. The Mark
of the Beast is coming. The Rapture is coming! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!!!
Get Busy for God My Friend, Time is Running Out!
I encourage you to search the articles on this website. There's a search box function at the top of the main webpage. In these last days we as believers need to know what's going on. Satan is tricking everybody! That's exactly what Revelation 12:9 says. Have you believed a lie? I care about you friend. I've never made a penny, nor received a penny, for my online labors. I don't monetize my YouTube videos. I am not against others who do, but I want everyone to know my heart in this matter. This is a labor of love for God. You are my reward. You are my Epistle. 2nd Corinthians 3:2, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men.” I pray daily for God to work in the mind and heart of my web visitors, and to bless my labors for Christ, because in my own human strength I cannot help anyone. I am just a clump of clay with a spirit inside. Psalms 127:1, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”
Don't make the mistake of turning information into a god. Many people today worship information, instead of God. God didn't save us to BE GOOD, He saved us to DO GOOD! First, if you do not know 100% certain that you are saved, you can KNOW right now. All you have to do is admit you are a guilty sinner in God's sight and BELIEVE the Gospel. Eternal life is a free gift, please make sure you have it! If you are saved, then get busy for God, because your happiness in Heaven will be determined by your life down here on earth. Daniel 12:3 doesn't say that people who live moral lives will shine as the brightness of the stars; but rather, they that turn many to righteousness. We all have a duty to preach the Gospel with others. You'll never be happy in this life as a Christian until you become a soul-winner. Only God can save a soul, but our part is to share the Gospel with them (1st Corinthians 3:8).
Please watch the video sermons, GETTING STARTED SOUL-WINNING (by Pastor Steven Anderson), and SOULWINNING (by Pastor Danny Castle). There is much that we can all do to get out the Gospel message to the lost. If nothing else, we can plant seeds, to get the truth of the Gospel into people's souls. May we redeem the time, laboring to win souls for Christ while we still can, for the night cometh when no man can work. END
