23 Alphabetical Attributes of Salvation: Part Four

 

4. Demonic Activity, Power Over

If you are a true Christian, you know full well that these days are among the final ones on earth. Very soon, in the twinkling of an eye, we will vanish from this wicked world and meet Christ in the air. We will meet with our loved ones who have gone before us, and we will enter the glories of Heaven itself to behold our King, the Lord Jesus Christ, face to face. This is the Pretribulation Rapture which powerfully reminds us that this world is not our home, and that God is about to judge all who are left behind on earth to suffer more than in any other time period in what the Bible calls, "The Time of Jacob's Trouble."

You also know, even if you are not saved, that things are changing all around us. This first month of 2021 has seen much Bible prophecy fulfilled. The New World Order is rising up everywhere we look. We constantly hear that the higher powers are working tirelessly to rid the world of the old ways, and for us to "unite" and "come together" in "diversity." We can no longer hope for the "old normal." I'm personally convinced that 2019 was the last year of that.

You may wonder, why now? Why is evil perpetrating every facet of life, when seemingly nothing would be out of the ordinary before? Our nation of America was once the beloved of God, the jewel of freedom, a shining beacon to those overseas who desired a better life. And now, look at what's left. A shattered, tattered country where anarchy rules and evil prevails. And this is just the birth pangs.

My grandparents immigrated to the United States many years before I was born. They came to New York City and saw Lady Liberty holding her torch high, guiding them to greener pastures and higher hopes. They settled there and had many children, one of which was my beloved mother. However, now that hope is gone, and those in other countries wag their heads at us in disgust and fear. Our forefathers are turning in their graves over such evil. What a tragedy. What a waste.

It was Satan himself who inspired the New World Order cronies to conjure up COVID-19. It was the perfect excuse for their new order to be established. We are living in dark yet exciting times. Former President George Herbert Walker Bush said, “What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea—a new world order... to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind... based on shared principles and the rule of law... The illumination of a thousand points of light... The winds of change are with us now.” Truly, he was correct, and the state of this land which for so long has been blessed and protected by the Almighty is carrening down towards Hell at an ever-increasing pace. Good is called evil, evil is called good, men are like women and women are like men, and all sorts of abominations and evils are commonplace today. God has taken His hand of protection from this nation. We are seeing those winds of change, and they are rapidly being transformed into a mighty hurricane.

The Bible tells about this in detail. The reason why many people don't understand this is because they simply don't read the Bible, or they glance at some corrupted verses in the NIV or whatever perverted version they choose. But we believers feast on the riches of the Word of God, the King James Bible, and we are nourished and strengthened by it, learning how to preach the Gospel, serve God, love others, and recognize the Devil's many devices. But the lost don't have a clue, and it is up to us to show them the error of their ways-- or else, if we don't warn them, their blood will be on our hands.

2 Timothy 1-5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

And while he's at it, the Apostle Paul adds in stern warning:

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Demons (devils) are at work in the heavenlies. It's these spiritual powers that we battle with, not so much the men of flesh that they dominate (Ephesians 6:12). The most wicked of the fallen angels who followed Satan and were chained under darkness are being loosed to wreak havoc on the world, and why? Because God says it is time for the world to be judged, and His children to be taken out of the way---

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Yet we must be strong in the Lord-- Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye 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 take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

The Pretribulation Rapture-- 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

No nation ever before has survived the judgment of God. It is too late for this country to return to its former state of high favor, both in Heaven and below. I beg you, dear reader, to get saved before God wipes America out completely.

Though Satan seems to have the victory, and all seems lost, we must set our face like a flint and strengthen our souls for the battle. God will have the final word, that is certain. We are headed for higher ground, and no power on earth or in Hell can stop us from going home. We have the final victory in Christ.
