Sometime it’s easy to get lost in the details. We live in a really mess world right now during a really messy time. We are seeing the ‘future’ unfold before us until it is become our present. Headlines bump up against each other until there are crisis on many fronts; foreign and domestic; material and spiritual. We are in a war. And that war is a struggle for the soul of every human being on the planet. It is being waged on many levels. It is a fact that fact that everything we see in the Natural – the chaos – the threats of war – in Syria – North Korea – with Russia – the riots in the streets – Communists marching on the streets of America – burning cars – breaking store windows – is but a mirror image of the action going on in the Spiritual Realm. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) This conflict then, is more than the sum of all its component parts. In the ‘Big Picture,’ it’s the Battle of the Ages; God’s creation in rebellion against the Creator. And this series will be all about fleshing that out.
PART I – INTRODUCING THE PLAYERS
This war started with the rebellion of Lucifer and one third of the angels. Lucifer wanted to be like God. Next it was taken down to the Garden where the Serpent offered that same temptation to Eve and Adam…..and you could say they bit…..literally I suppose. And that war has gone on ever since.
We’ve reached a point now when all of Prophecy is Converging. Here are some of the major headlines making the news as I write this. China Issues Unprecedented Warning To Citizens In North Korea: Return Home…. Nuclear bombers spotted over North Korea as US prepares for WW3…… 9 officers injured as rowdy crowd tears through Downtown Olympia …..American Army soldiers are being quietly mobilized for Korea!…. The discovery of alien life may be close. How will religion survive it?…. Austrian President: Day will come when we ask all women to wear headscarf….Navy destroyer in standoff with an Iran ‘attack’ boat in the Persian Gulf. It feels like chaos and crisis have no end. But it’s not the individual events – or even nations that are driving the true narrative. There are Forces in Play making the ultimate play for Power that is about to play out at the End of the Age. We know this from Scripture. Revelation 13:1-9 gives a kind of thumb nail sketch of the career of Antichrist during the upcoming Tribulation.
John writes: “Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’ And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
A little farther down in the chapter we are given the description of the rise of the False Prophet. His role is to get the entire world to worship the Antichrist. And set up a one world religion and a one world economy based on what we’ve come to call the Mark of the Beast. It’s all right there in scripture. But even so many in the Church either explicitly or implicitly deny that this is a spiritual war we are facing. Some of them deny the notion of demons entirely….even though Jesus dealt with them so much throughout the course of His ministry.
Now there is a human element to all of this too. The strategies are originally schemed in the spiritual sphere but they are enacted in the human realm as well. Globalists of various stripes – like the Bilderbergers, international bankers, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the like are bent on setting up a system of total global control. I want to reference here an article published under the nom de plume Jeremiah Johnson, published on the website SHTF. [And of course it stands for what you think it does.] Johnson first makes the point that President Trump is being purposely deceived by the globalist party through what has become to be known as the Deep State. “This is intentional on the part of the moneyed interests that control the very fabric of our society. The interests are corporate, political, and religious: a three-level tier of control over all the facets of human society…. The problem lies in the fact that these interests are elitists who believe in the forced imposition of their philosophies upon the masses. They also believe in ‘culling the herd,’ and maintaining a servile population at minimum levels to carry out all menial labor and industrial production (the Deltas and Epsilons of Huxley’s Brave New World) as they direct. Patiently these elitists have been awaiting the day when their ‘1984’ society is a reality, crafting and shaping it all along throughout the decades. The numbers of humanity pose a problem, because they cannot effectively eradicate all necessary without a large-scale plague or a war, and after such an event, the planet itself might be unsustainable. The key question for them: how to kill off about 6 to 6 ½ billion people without destroying the world?”[i] And there’s the nub of it – neatly spelled out.
And his conclusions are NOT out of line. For one thing, the Pentagon-linked think tank DEAGLE has openly predicted a collapse of the United States with America losing 260 million in population and all of its economic power – in just the next 8 or 9 years – What do they know that we don’t know? Or look at the Georgia Guidestones. That monument suggests keeping the world’s population at under 500 million, a reduction of nearly 7 billion. And those projections are right in line with the spirit of scripture. Revelation 6:8 tells of “a pale horse” whose rider is “named Death and Hades” that is “given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” Then in Revelation 9:15, the four angels of the Euphrates are released to kill 1/3rd of the remaining population. That brings us to one-half of the current population and that does not even account for the death toll during the ‘Bowl Judgments.’ And that’s where we’ll have to leave for today.
