The End of the World is Coming Whether We Like It or Not.

The End of the World is Coming Whether We Like It or Not.

Formation of a one world government is a precursor to Satan impersonating Christ- and yes, making Jerusalem the site of his power.

Rev. {16:13} And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. {16:14} For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Rev. {13:7} 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. {13:8} 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.

Rev. {13:14} 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.

Dan. {11:41} He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. {11:42} He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. {11:43} But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians [shall be] at his steps. {11:44} But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. {11:45} And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

2 Cor. {11:14} And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. {11:15} Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Rev. {14:6} And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, {14:7} Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. {14:8} And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. {14:9} And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, {14:10} The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: {14:11} And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. {14:12} Here is the patience of the saints: here [are]
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. {14:13} And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Would people knowingly worship a beast?

Would people worldwide and openly, knowingly worship Satan other than those who profess to be Satanists? Could you even imagine the President of the USA standing up and declaring he worships Satan? What about the UK's Prime Minister, Brown? The Chancellor of Germany, Merkel? The leader of any country? Can you picture them standing up to address their country before millions and millions of people who are looking to them to guide their country and hear the words coming out of their mouths---

"I'd like to inform you, I worship Satan."

No, it's not something we can imagine, not in any sort of reality.

Why?

Because first off, church and state are supposed to be separate in most of your countries with power.

Is this perhaps why Israel who claim their Jewish hertiage proudly are so despised? Probably not, you have your Isalmic countries who have no qualms about staying stedfast to their religion, Islam.

Americans and many other countries can't lay claim to their countries truly being *God-fearing* because they've embraced the belief that all are free to worship whatever god they choose.

Still, even the USA and other countries that uphold religous freedom don't have leaders proudly announcing they worship Satan. It's practically unthinkable.

Practically being the key word there.

We have leaders claiming to believe in God, and of course as soon as they claim they believe in God they have to admit they believe in Satan-- Biblically you cannot have one without the other, it doesn't work. Unless of course you're not believing in the God of the Bible, and that could be the case for many.

Right now in the days we live in, we expect our President to take His inaugural oath with a hand on a Bible. It happened this year, even if things were flubbed a bit and later on when it was redone there was no Bible in sight.

The public as a whole here in the USA are a religious people in some respects, and they tolerate others who aren't. They've been taught at great lengths to accept people no matter what they believe, they've been hounded to not put one faith above another.

We live in a time when *universal* relgious belief is strong, very strong.

Let's get the Baptist together with the Methodist and the Catholic, and sure invite the Hindus and the Moslems along and don't forget to snag a Jewish representative while you're at it. We're one big happy family and the things that separate us should be overlooked for the things that join us together- say - world peace.

We all want world peace right? Who doesn't want world peace? It's almost criminal to say you don't, because as soon as you say don't want world peace you are saying you're supporting wars and discord between people and well, heck, that just isn't right.

World peace will be the standard held high and if it can be achieved while each person is allowed to believe in whatever god (or no god if they choose) then all the better.

World peace, we can all come together and you know what... it's only possible if we SET aside any and all principles that demand we hold fast to our own beliefs.

I can hear it now. That's not what's happening, not really, it's just an agreement not to IMPOSE one's god upon another's god. It's keeping religions apart where they differ, but listen up close...it's bringing them together on the parts they don't differ on.

Common ground, and there we are and we come full circle back to World Peace.

Only there is a problem with that, a serious, serious problem with world peace.

God, the one and only true God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Creator of you and me-- He doesn't want to be sacrificed for World Peace.

God doesn't want the standards and principles set aside. He doesn't want to agree that it's right to worship whatever god you choose, or no god at all. He is a jealous God. Throughout history He's let everyone know that He is the One and True God. He sent His Only Son to die to save people from their sins, but now as we push God aside in favor of world peace, we are pushing His commandments aside and we're pushing aside the very reason Christ came to earth as man and died for us!

Seriously, sin is the transgression of God's law.

If you don't believe in God's law then you might say sin is anything mankind deems sin and punishable, but not that Godly commandment stuff.

Wrong.

Sin is the transgression of God's law! God's law was broken. Mankind was guilty and saved by Jesus... but... hold on... that's the Christian religion right?

Right.

So what happens when Christians set aside God's law and say it's okay to have more than one god? It's okay to have your own god, it's okay if you don't have a god at all, and you know what...it's okay if you even worship satan... as long as we can finally have-- here it comes -- drumroll please --

WORLD PEACE.

But wait there's more.

By setting aside differences and embracing commonalities to foster peace, we tell ourselves that we are NOT breaking any of God's laws because God wants us to foster peace and embrace differences and love our enemies and do good to those who despitefully use us. So there, I can have my God and I can foster world peace too.

We lie to ourselves.

We sacrifice God and when we do that who are we really embracing under the guise of love, under the guise of world peace, under the guise of goodness and mercy? Who? Who is there whispering in the ears of people telling them that God isn't really a jealous God, not if you can accomplish something as monumental as World Peace? Who is the beguiler? The deceiver? The greatest counterfieter of all?

Satan.

And the whole world will be deceived.

Rev. {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.

Deceiveth the whole world.

Matt. {24:24} For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

The Great Deceiver!

When we are told all this how in the world can we ever hope not to be deceived?

The faithful-

Keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.

{12:17} And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

A bride who makes herself ready-

Rev. {19:7} Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. {19:8} And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

'...and his wife hath made herself ready.'

Made herself ready.

How does a wife make herself ready for her husband, for her marriage? She submits to Him and His will, trusting in Him in all things. She gives herself fully over to His care. She gives up her self so that she may be one with her husband. She no longer clings to her independence. She willing, lovingly and with her whole heart joins with her bridegroom and they are truly one.


The faithful-

Able to live during such a time that they will stand out and make themselves targets because while all the world is beguiled by the false Christ and his answers to all the world's woes, they will denounce this worldly savior and seem to be of the devil himself.

Rev. {14:12} Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

That's right, when World Peace is being herald by all and claiming to be the universal answer to all the worlds ills-- the saints will be standing up against the universal answer and shouting loudly- Fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment is come! Worship Him that made the Heavens and the Earth! Keep His commandments!

We'll be a strange people who shun peace because most will be deceived into believing that peace is what God wants, when in truth, it's obedience and love that God wants.

If we are going to be willing to die to keep God's commandments when all the world is fighting against us, we have to be willing to keep God's commandments when NO one is fighting us. We have to be so deeply entrenched in our love for God's word, for God's law, for His commandments that we wouldn't dream of not keeping them. What makes anyone think we will suddenly foster a love of commandment keeping when we are threatened with death? No. If we do not have the love of God in us now when the waters are calm and the sea is without a single wave, we can't hope to suddenly have the love of God when our faith is to be tested and tried.

Now...

John {4:23} But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him. {4:24} God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

Rev. {12:10} And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. {12:11} And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. {12:12} Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time

Now.

Please Lord, be merciful to us sinners. Please Lord, we believe, help our unbelief. Please Lord, we want you to know us! Please Lord, let Your Holy Spirit utter that which I cannot, that which we cannot. We would be Yours, wholly Yours now and forever. Please.

By Your grace, your mercy.

Amen.
