Allah ‘akbar is chanted at many
at the scenes of terrorism. That battle cry is akin to Allah lives and Jehovah God
is dead! In a reversal of truth, Christians
become the infidels and Muslims the “true religion”! From a Christian
perspective, it must be remembered, God loves the Arabs too! On the other hand,
there are differences in religions. Educators and humanists say there is not,
but the truth lies in the doctrines of each. The liberal “Church” will join in
with those of other religions, just as the Jews were syncretic, and those liberals
will be both Catholics and Protestants. The latter is not immune from deception,
and in this age the liberal wing may be even more heretical than the Catholics
have become.
The true Church is invisible just as is the One True God. Its makeup
consists of Catholics, Jews, and Protestants who trust Jesus’s propitiation for
salvation and are born-again. The evidence of that is their service to mankind
and to God as they diminish themselves and elevate God. They are those who are
not guilty of putting God down, as
the bad guys often do.
The Great Tribulation and the Battle of Armageddon is the future “gunfight
at OK corral”. Just as the Antichrist seems to believe God is almost dead,
armies from all over the world will come to finish God off. The Tribulation
does weaken and diminish God’s armies, but Almighty God is Self-sufficient. Christians,
with their attitude of trust, are spiritual cheerleaders. Just as God felled the great walls of Jericho
by His Almightiness, the armies of the Antichrist will drown in their own
blood! Cao Make no mistake about it, Joshua (Hebrew for Jesus) saved
the Hebrews. In six days God created
fear in the hearts of those in fortified walls, and on the seventh day God rested
as the walls tumbled down. God did the hard work as the Hebrews cheered on,
then with the walls collapsed, the Hebrews merely came in and did the hard task
easily! The Canaanaites at Jericho belonged to Satan. They were antichrists.
How so? Cap
And
it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and
looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in
his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for
our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I
now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said
unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's
host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon
thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Most miss the point but the
Captain of the Hosts in those passages are pre-incarnate Jesus! Not the man
Joshua but the One of whom Joshua was a simile! Joshua trusted Jesus and the
Hebrew people were saved. This biblical event is a precursor to Armageddon where
the Antichrist and his legions will be finally defeated. In the passages above
God is not dead; He had yet even to be born, but His Almightiness was alive and
well! Joshua lifted-up Jesus as he stood there on Holy Ground in the very
presence of God! When God was murdered on Calvary his adversaries took the knee,
but Joshua stood tall in the presence of God with his shoes off. God wanted
nothing which man had made existing between Him and man!
If God is for us who can be
against us? Caq Choose
wisely, everyone. The Leader you choose determines your fate! God does not die.
Satan does! Before he is cast into the fiery pit for a spell, God in the end
destroys Satan. In God’s realm, the motto will be God is not dead; Lucifer is dead! Ironically, it is not Adam-kind which
dies as related by the Serpent but the Serpent who suffers death! Car
(Read about that promise and its fulfillment
in my book The Skull of Adam.) The
immortality of God is significant and Satan’s death eminent. Let God Himself
reveal punishment:
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal
upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,
and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the
dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on
such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them
together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of
the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white
throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the
dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according
to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.
Satan is thrown into the abyss.
That may be the same abyss beneath the black rock of Ornan’s threshing floor
where Lucifer will get his threshing! Theologians blame the Romans and the Pope
for the end of days as they are the accused of their attempt to kill God! The
author does not. The destroyers will be the descendants of the Canaanites.
However, mankind kills God every time people sin, but their murderous nature is
just hatred. God is the beginning and will be there in the end! As murderers, mankind bungles their plot. The
vocation of man, if the reader remembers, is to “dress and keep the Garden, in the
midst is where the Tree of Life stands. That “Tree” is Jesus the Christ! cas
To
him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life.
