Antichrist, Armageddon, and the Christless Culture

By Kenneth G. Morris

Satan’s lies will soon be swept away by the wrath of God.

Arm yourself with knowledge, 
prepare for the final battle, 
and crown your Savior King of Kings.

The world fails to realize that Christ is the victor
 in the war between good and evil. 
Deceived humanity fights to eliminate
 all Christian influence from society. 
But by His shed blood, and the power of The Holy Ghost, 
Christ has enabled His church to be Salt and Light 
to a people headed for judgment.
Until Christ calls His bride home, 
darkness will never rule. 
But as the Saints sing praises to their Savior 
at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, 
multitudes will pay sin’s death toll 
as the Antichrist rules on earth for seven years. 
Are you ready?

Introduction

God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event. Matthew Henry

This work is presented with the prayer that a desire for a greater knowledge of God’s word will be awakened in the heart and mind of the reader. In a time when minds are consumed and cluttered by the increased demands of life, it’s easy to forget the importance of the Bible and its teachings. Bible study that was once an integral part of homes, schools, and churches has been replaced by electronics and social media. This lack of scriptural knowledge has produced a generation that knows little or nothing about the events that are unfolding before their eyes. These are the last days. The end times are upon us, and many will be destroyed by the lack of knowledge.

If this book can be used by the Lord Jesus Christ to cause a few individuals to rediscover bible study, then the effort to produce it will not be in vain.

There are several things this book is not. It is not, by any means, a complete study of any subject. It is not a commentary on any book of the bible. It does not provide all the answers to many of the reader’s questions concerning this present world system, the rapture, the rise of Antichrist, The Great Tribulation, or The Battle of Armageddon. Hopefully, there will be an enlightenment in some areas of thought, but in other areas, there may be more questions raised than are answered.

If the unanswered questions, as well as the ones generated through this reading, causes the reader to pick up the Bible and search the scriptures this work will be deemed a success.

To stimulate a desire to study God’s word; to serve as some sort of guideline for that study; to open closed eyes to the reality of Satan’s hatred and Christ’s love for humanity, and to turn hearts to Jesus is the prayerful hope of the author and publisher.

The author is aware that opinions on some of the subjects in this work differ from group to group and person to person. Maybe some who read will basically agree with the author while others will disagree. This difference of opinion can be very helpful if it encourages both author and reader to dive deeper into God’s word in search of truth. The goal of searching must not be to prove one point of view over another nor to vindicate personal ideas. Truth, God’s truth, must be the object of the search and the desire of the heart. With this attitude, the Holy Ghost can guide us into all truth. Knowing that truth will set us free. Searching the scriptures will produce workmen that need not be ashamed.

The purpose of this page is to introduce this work. But may this work be an introduction to men like David, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zachariah, Paul, Jude, John, and other great men of God whose writings, revelations, visions, and wisdom will assist in understanding end-time prophecy. Most of all, may we come to a greater knowledge of the One who was first spoken of in Genesis and spoken of the last time in Revelation. The One who is the First and Last, the Beginning and End, the Alpha and Omega. The Lord Jesus Christ.

To know everything there is to know about coming events, I suppose, would be wonderful, but to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and have the assurance that one’s name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life, is the thing most important. Being ready when the rapture occurs, will take care of it all.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Let everyone be persuaded to stand firm in their convictions as they strive to please the One who has called them. Let every soldier of the cross untangle himself from the world and fight the good fight of faith.

When the battle is over, the smoke has cleared, and the dust has settled, may we all stand together as one body on Mount Zion and proclaim our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Amen

A Christless Culture

And as they did not like to retain Christ in their knowledge. — Romans 1:28

A superior court judge in the state of Washington ruled against a Christian florist who refused to provide flowers for a same sex wedding. In his ruling, the judge had this to say; The first amendment protects religious beliefs, but not necessarily actions based on those beliefs.[1]

The Christian community was shocked by this ruling. Although scripture warned that the last days will be like no other in history, the reality of current events is staggering.

Leaders from the halls of congress to city hall; from the White House to the church house are determined to remove Jesus Christ and the influence of Christianity from every area of modern life. This movement is spreading across the country at an alarming rate.

This is not a new thing. History is filled with attempts by governments and their leaders to eliminate the moral code of the Bible. The Christian community must be ever vigilant in guarding itself against these lions that seek to devour.

The Old Testament tells of the likes of Ahab, Belshazzar, and others who sought to remove Jehovah God and His influence from their world as they exalted themselves into a place of imagined greatness.

The mentality that thinks to elevate the creature above the creator can be nothing but the product of a warped and twisted mind. The influence of a humanistic society, that tries to believe and teach that every man is a god to himself and whatever he happens to believe is accurate and whatever he desires is best for him, is the cause of this insanity.

When the eye is jaundiced, hating everything that does not please the flesh, and the ear hears nothing but what it wants to hear, humanity can expect nothing but to be deceived and deluded. Well did the Bible speak of those who have eyes, but could not see; and ears but could not hear.

The best definition of insanity is doing the same thing in the same way, again and again, hoping for a different result. The Biblical definition of insanity is ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of truth. This insanity is not a product of the inability to learn but by an unwillingness to learn. It is an acquired insanity.

The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed the prophets prophesy falsely because the people love to have it so.[2]

Generation after generation of power-hungry, deranged leaders have unsuccessfully tried to produce a Godless world by removing Christ and His teachings from the people. One after another have failed. Time after time, they have been forced to watch their efforts have the opposite effect as Christianity prospered and spread. The Acts of the Apostles relates how the church, that was originally confined to Jerusalem, spread throughout the known world driven by persecution. Evil leaders, learning from the failures of those before them, changed their methods of attack, believing that their failure was of a tactical nature. They never seem to understand they are fighting against the giver and taker of life—Almighty God.

Ever learning innovative ways to attack, they fail to learn that the removal of a man, a group of people, or a whole religious body will never achieve their goal. As smart as they are in their ability to wage this war, they are forever ignorant of what Gamaliel told the council in Jerusalem if a thing be of God man cannot overthrow it.[3] While thinking they are at war with a certain people of a certain culture, they are, in reality, waring against the One in whom they live, move, and have their being. Killing and removing the physical will never succeed in removing the spiritual. This fact continues to elude them.

Pharaoh, a new Pharaoh who knew not Joseph, made this same miscalculation in the first chapter of Exodus. The enslaved Israelites were a threat to his kingdom and power, or so he thought. This wicked king feared the power of God’s people. His response to this threat was to deal wisely with them by increasing their burdens and labors. This, Pharaoh believed, would discourage them, break their spirits, destroy their moral, and eliminate the treat. He believed that hardship would weaken them. This so-called wise move might work with some groups of people but it only served to strengthen Abraham’s seed. The more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.[4]

Seeing how increasing their labor and putting unbearable burdens on them only served to strengthen them, did not cause Pharaoh to give up on his plan to destroy them. It simply caused him to rethink the plan of attack. A new approach was needed. Pharaoh comes up with a fresh battle plan and commanded the Egyptian midwives to perform an act that was both unnatural and unholy. They were to murder all the Hebrew boy babies at birth. These acts amount to what today is called partial birth abortion.

Pharaoh reasoned that murder would succeed where affliction had failed. These actions perfectly illustrate the Biblical definition of insanity; Ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of truth.

Questioning the midwives about the failure of this latest course of action, Pharaoh received this answer. The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: For they are lively and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.[5]

This monarch of Egypt still has not learned, that no matter the method, the results of fighting against God will always be the same. He now commands that all Hebrew boy babies that survive birth be thrown into the Nile River, but God used his own daughter to rescue one of these babies and bring it to his palace for him to raise. Pharaoh himself was training and educating the man that would one day deliver Israel from Egypt.

Killing and removing the physical will never remove the spiritual. Eliminating the man of faith will never eliminate the faith of the man, nor will destroying the gifted person destroy the gift. When an Elijah is taken from this world, his mantle never goes with him. The mantle remains to be taken up by another who will use it to divide the Jordan River the same as the one before him. The sons of the prophets declared the spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha.[6]

If the High Priest in Jerusalem could have known that Stephen the deacon would be replaced by Paul the apostle, he would not have allowed that mob to lay their clothes at the feet of a young man by the name of Saul while they stoned Stephen. Yes, a deacon was replaced by an apostle. It is obvious that Christianity came out ahead in this swap. Seeking to eliminate Christ, they only opened the door for the spread of the Gospel throughout the known world of that day.

Nero sought to succeed where others had failed by feeding the Roman lions with the flesh and blood of the early Christian church. Apparently, Nero could not find enough lions with an appetite for Christians to keep pace with the rapidly increasing numbers of believers in his empire.

From the beginning of Christ’s ministry, all the way to this present hour, the enemies of God have tried and failed in all their tactic to produce a culture void of the influence of the Son of God. The Church is flourishing and prospering in countries that have fought the hardest against her.

Wikipedia says, Christianity in Russia is by some estimates the largest religion in the country, with nearly 50% of the population identifying as Christian.[7] This is a
