Introduction

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH [Revelation 17:5]

We are at WAR!

All around your city, state, country and the world, Satan has been building his Kingdom through the ages. His Kingdom is called MYSTERY BABYLON, as spoken of in the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible [Chapter 17]. Many people have become silent members, through the chipping away of their morals, values and acceptance of everything that is inherently anti-Christ.

You  must  understand  that  words, symbols, signs  and  seasons  mean  everything  to an enemy that moves in darkness. Look at your dollar bill. You have looked at it your entire life. Perhaps you had conversations about it. Now, why is an Egyptian Pyramid on a United States dollar bill? Why is there an All Seeing Eye on the back of our country’s currency?

In the beginning God, made sure to record in His Holy Word about the craftiness of Satan. God described Satan as being crafty and having cunning ways like a serpent. The deceptive and mind-bending tactics of this beast has neither changed nor lost their effects through the ages.

The mass deception, mass indoctrination and mass infiltration of Satanic imagery, anti-Christian ideology, blatant disregard for God’s Word and his laws, and the longing to taste of the forbidden fruit are still entrapping the people of God. More alarming, most followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, are in a complete hypnotic state, as to the Luciferian ideology that has crept into the minds, hearts, and thoughts of born-again believers.

That statement may sound comical to many. That’s only because they don’t know or understand the truth. It’s not designed for you to know nor notice! This is because our lives are consumed with other things like work, school, one’s health concerns, family matters, non-stop consumption of social media, trending news, woke cancel culture and leisure.

Meanwhile, the crafty, cunning and evil plans of Satan, the enemy, have drastically taken a  major leap forward in the last decades.

If you are a well-meaning believer, you wouldn’t attend a séance, visit a fortune teller, consult familiar spirits, or practice yoga, would you? These sneaky and subtil devices have unknowingly crept into the minds, hearts, homes and pulpits of the Saints. It doesn’t matter what your personal beliefs are, because there are two sides to this war. Many Saints or Believers are unaware of wearing the armor of the enemy, Satan.

A Reflection on the Past Decade:

Believers then; proclaimed the name of Jesus. Believers now, proclaim the Universe.

Believers then; had faith for God to meet their needs. Believers now, will manifest their needs.

Believers then; sought God for answers. Believers now, seek horoscopes and Tarot cards for answers.

Believers then; prayer and fasting. Believers now, meditation and yoga.

Believers then; prayed against evil spirits. Believers now, use crystals and sage for evil spirits.

Believers then; studied the Word to get revelation. Believers now, vibrate chakras for higher consciousness.

Believers then; Thou will be done. Believers now, my will be done, (Do as thou Wilt).

Believers then; Father God. Believers now, Divine Mother Goddess or Mother Earth.

We are in real danger, and we no longer can hide behind ignorance. Sin has become so acceptable that it's not even an offense, yet it stinks in the nostrils of our God [Exodus 5:21]. In the midst of this new liberation, people have never been so depressed, angry, violent, drug addicted and desperate. This chaos was planned and will bring the New Order of the Age, Novus ordo seclorum, as it is written on the dollar bill.

In this book, I had no desire to explain a bunch of signs and symbols that you can research on any Wikipedia page. My endeavor is to demystify and unpack, MYSTERY BABYLON, the MYSTERY RELIGIONS, OCCULT PRACTICES, SECRET SOCIETIES, and NEW AGE MOVEMENTS, which have kept hidden knowledge and agendas out of public view. These secrets (which have actually been in plain sight), are the cause of everything, that is destroying our beliefs, our families, our morals, our economy and our world.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. [Revelation 17:18]

Once you learn how this enemy and his seed operates, you will no longer be blind to the wiles of the devil. We do not have long; a battle cry has gone out. Let's put our armor back on and study  to show ourselves approved [II Timothy 3:15].

Because, The Father wishes that none be lost [II Peter 3:9],

to this Luciferian,

Anti-Christ,

beast system of the devil;

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH"

Get your sword (the Word of God) and let's begin...

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.   What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.  And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?  and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [Matthew 10:26-33]

Section I Eternal Enmity

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [Genesis 3:15]

Think not that I am come to  send  peace  on  earth:  I  came  not  to  send  peace,  but  a  sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be they of  his own household.  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and  he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. [Matthew 10:34-39]

Genesis

As we begin exposing the wiles of the devil, please do not get ahead of yourself, resist the urge to say, I know that, resist the urge to skip a chapter, or a verse, or a lesson. With your sword (The Bible), in hand. Let’s begin.

I’ve come up with this saying, Everything is in Genesis, absolutely everything is in Genesis! So, let’s begin in the beginning.

The Serpent

Now the serpent  was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [Genesis 3:1]

Let’s first establish the identity of the serpent. There is much scholarly debate throughout history on the physical form of this original talking reptile. Was the original serpent a reptile that walked; did it take the form of a man? I believe this statement sums it up the best;

Let us, therefore, establish in the first place that the serpent is a real serpent, but one that has been entered and taken over by Satan. (Hodge, The Fall of Satan; Rebels in the Garden. Was Satan the actual serpent in the Garden? Page 44)

Scripture very clearly, from the beginning to the end, outlines how Satan himself, along with demons and fallen angels, can not only communicate with human beings, but can possess animals.

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [Genesis 3:2]

This is very important: the subtle serpent simply asked the woman, Eve. Has God said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden? Let’s examine what God commanded to Adam:

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." [Genesis 2:16-17]

The subtle craftiness of the serpent is shown from the very beginning; he starts off by simply asking a question. Inquiring, where Eve’s head was at the time, and also, how sure she was about God’s instructions. The scripture doesn’t allude to Eve mentioning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil by name, she simply says, the tree in the midst of the garden. These minor details are important. It is those very minute details the enemy used in the beginning, and still uses, to fool the entire world.

Think of the serpent as a lawyer, he cross-examined Eve to see what she knew, then, after finding out she wasn’t very clear on the commandment, he used it as an immediate occasion to entrap her.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:4-5]

The crafty lawyer then begins to argue his case. When I think of this conversation, I think of a disgusting being, a serpent speaking; why would Eve obey him? This was the beginning of creation, we think of serpents as creatures to be feared now, but then, the serpent was just one of the many, beasts of the field that lived in harmony with man.

I can imagine this conversation was more a clarification. Since Eve was not there when the command was given, the serpent lawyer pleaded the case, You won’t die Eve! You will just be like gods knowing good and evil. Eve perhaps thought the serpent was being a friend and just giving her clarity about the Lord's instructions. Until this point, there is no reference to liars or evil doing. So blindly trusting this serpent and not waiting for her husband, she got impatient and took the fateful bite.

The emphasis on what happened in the garden, in relation to what is happening today, cannot be stressed enough. Unbeknown to even the humblest of believers, the Genesis account, was about much more than the creation and fall of man, it was also the creation and beginning of everything wicked, that is still in the earth today.

Most scholars agree the forbidden fruit was possibly not an edible food per se. It’s been accounted for many things. However, let’s be clear, it was off limits to God’s new creation. The forbidden fruit has also been characterized by some, as a sexual act between Eve and the serpent. Understand, to go down that road of thinking, you would be aligning with occult mythology.

…it is doubtful that any Christian who believes that the serpent and Eve engaged in an actual sex act is aware that they are repeating an ancient occult Babylonian myth — and at the very least,  it should give them pause to consider that perhaps they themselves have been beguiled." (CFT Team)

The Temptation

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. [Genesis 3:6]

This three-part description gives the eternal struggle of all mankind. [I Corinthians 6:12].

The tree was good for food – lust of the flesh

It was pleasant to the eyes – lust of the eyes

It was desired to make one wise – pride of life

This subtle lawyer pleaded his case to Eve and won the first round. Now, if she can convince her husband, who had taken the command from God, then he would win an everlasting prize and take possession of his own kingdom.

The Fall and the Fallout

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast, thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. [Genesis 3:7-14]

Let’s evaluate the curse. Many questions have arisen from the text. Essentially, why was the sin and disobedience of Adam and Eve put on the entirety of humanity? Why is this fair? If God is all powerful, couldn’t he just forgive them and move on? In those questions alone we can see mankind has a need to have answers for everything. Man’s inability to be obedient and trust God can be seen from the garden until now. We forget us mortals, are but a little lower than the angels [Psalm 8:5]

Had Eve refrained from entering into argument with the tempter, she would have been safe; but she ventured to parley with him and fell a victim to his wiles. It is thus that many are still over- come. They doubt and argue concerning the requirements of God; and instead of obeying divine commands, they accept human theories, which but disguise the devices of Satan. (White. The Great Controversy. The First Great Deception. Pages 531-532).

Creator God

We forget HE is THE CREATOR!

This finite creation of man, from the beginning of time, has tried to uncover the uncoverable. Mankind has allowed intellect, inventions and intelligence, to fill our culture with arrogance, so much so, man believes he can rival, the glory of God. For this reason, mankind cannot accept, that there are some things hidden about God and the spiritual world, that are beyond our understanding. The knowledge He reveals to us through the Holy Scriptures, as well as, the knowledge he gives us for inventions, business, education or technology, is all from Him. However, mankind often forgets, He is the source!

Our Father is the Creator of heaven and the earth, the stars, the planets, the expanse of existence, far beyond what our minds can ever comprehend.

This is the sole reason we worship Him as the Creator. Therefore, we are in awe of his creation, his handiwork.

Go outside on a beautiful day or stand and look into the ocean from the sands. As far left and as far right as you can see, there are depths which, we cannot reach, or even comprehend. To this day, scientists are still discovering animal and plant life. God’s ways are past finding out. Therefore, we worship God alone. This is the reason we obey him. He is magnificent, and to think that we are equal to him, to the point we defy Him, disobey Him and question Him, is the reason this everlasting struggle exists today.

Its implausible that men think it not robbery, that their creations could be on par or compared to the Creations of God Almighty. 80% of the waters on the earth, have still not been explored, scientist are still discovering new cells in the human body, there is a project in Switzerland called, CERN, this project, is looking for the god particle, that they claim, caused creation to come into existence. Indeed, God's craftsmanship is beyond description. Including the very minds he gave us to invent things on earth. Instead of being in awe of our magnificent Creator, humans disobey, combat, question or even curse, the Creator.

"Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? [Psalm 8:1-4]

Just pause for a moment and think on these things. We are but a speck of dust in His eyes, we are but a grain of sand. We are created beings, yet we disobey, we fight, we question, we doubt, and we even sometimes curse the Creator. How wicked man has become! The source of that wickedness is yet another cause for debate. Everything is a cause for debate!

Forbidden Fruit

How could Satan know the full glory of God, and yet think he could rival it [Ezekiel 28:14]? Then convince others to rebel with him [Revelation 12:4]? This will never be understood or explained. It’s fine to theorize about what happened during that epic rebellion, but, at some point, we need to be satisfied that His ways, are past comprehension.

While we are commanded to search the scriptures, and study to show ourselves approved, [II Timothy 2:15] there comes a time when wisdom should say, this is knowledge I can’t ascertain, and if God says I can’t access this knowledge, then I should accept that at face value.

Think of God as an earthly parent for a moment. I would hope, as parents, you have rules for your children. When it comes to knowledge, we know there are things we can tell our 15-year-old child that we can’t share with our 5-year-old child. Why? As their parent, we know they don’t have the capacity to understand what our teenager can. You can show a toddler how to use a gun, tell them that it is deadly. But after watching cartoons and video games all day, the toddler doesn’t understand the outcome of shooting a loaded gun. Not understanding this, but knowing at least how to shoot it, he shoots it one day. The consequences, as we have seen in real life, are deadly. So, while we should indeed search the scriptures, we have to know, as in the garden, there are things we are not permitted to know.

Man, that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. [John 14:1]

We have molded our Creator down to a genie in a bottle. If our wishes are not his command, we throw the bottle out. How did this get reversed? How did it go from, Thy will be done [Matthew 6:10], to my will be done? How did we think the Holy Angels do our bidding? And why, when our wishes are not the commands of God, do we denounce him openly? Have you noticed how popular it is now to denounce God? Especially former Christians. These people read a book, visit a shaman or go astral projecting and get some new revelation and feel proud enough, to openly denounce the Lord and curse Jesus Christ. Oh, wretched generation [Matthew 6:4]!

The true spirit of Lucifer transferred to Adam and Eve, and thus onto the entirety of humanity. The spirit that entered into Adam and Eve, that allowed them to transgress God’s Holy ordinances, is the same spirit the enemy uses to beguile and entrap humanity until this day.

With the earliest history of man, Satan began his efforts to deceive our race. He who had incited rebellion in heaven desired to bring the inhabitants of the earth to unite with him in his warfare against the government of God. Adam and Eve had been perfectly happy in obedience to the law of God, and this fact was a constant testimony against the claim which Satan had urged in heaven in, that God’s law was oppressive and opposed to the good of His creatures. And furthermore, Satan’s envy was excited as he looked upon the beautiful home prepared for the sinless pair. He determined to cause their fall, that, having separated them from God and brought them under his own power, he might gain possession of the earth and here establish his kingdom in opposition to the Most High. (White. The Great Controversy. Chapter 33. The First Great Deception. Page 531)

Since Adam was created first (Eve coming from him, but both being created in God’s image) and had been given the command directly, it required his sin to bring about the fall of mankind. when Adam ate and sinned, they knew something was wrong and felt ashamed. Sin and death had entered into creation." (Hodge. The Fall of Satan; Rebels in the Garden 13. Who sinned first-Adam or Satan? Page 55)

From the Sermon: The Fall of Man:

God held Adam responsible even though he was the second one to sin. God gave him the covenant and the commandment not to eat of the fruit of the tree. God put all Adam’s descendants under his federal headship, from Eve on down to you and me. When Eve ate the fruit, she didn’t cause the fall. What she did was sin and with sin would come her death. But everything hung in the balance until Adam decided what to do. Notice that after he ate, then the eyes of both were opened to their sin and nakedness

Because of Adam the ground is cursed.

Because of Adam death entered the world.

(Woodyard page 3).

War in Heaven

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [Genesis 3:15]

And with this pronouncement begins the epic struggle, the great controversy, the enmity.

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. [Romans 5:19-21]

The Heavenly War

To understand the battle of the ages, we need to look back, then look ahead to the end result of the enmity described in the book of Revelation, Chapter 12.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught  up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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. … [Revelation 12:1-9]

The true war...

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 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. [Revelation 12:16-17]

In understanding the enemy, you must understand the motive. In any criminal investigation, detectives must first figure out the motive. It’s the motive which causes the motivation of the struggle. Between the serpent being cursed in the garden for tempting Eve, to Revelation Chapter 12, and the Great War, we must examine critical points from both the physical and spiritual, past present and future.

Through studying symbolism, early church Fathers and historians have come up with countless theories about the interpretation of the entire book of Revelation. I think it’s clear from the chapter who the child is; although some scholars claim the child is representative of the church. The identity of the woman has several theories as well.

Scholars debate whether the woman represents Mary, the church, Israel, or Jerusalem. Regarding the woman, … her importance for the apocalypse, lies not so much in her identity as her destiny. The pregnant woman prepares to give birth to a messianic child. However, a cosmic antagonist depicted by the four names of, dragon, serpent, devil, and Satan, attempts to kill the child. But God protects and nourishes the mother and child. Again, the dragon pursues the woman. When salvific eagle’s wings, reminiscent of [Exodus 19:4], preserve the woman, the frustrated, enraged dragon, makes war with the woman’s faithful offspring. The offspring overcome the antagonist, through the blood of the lamb, their testimony, and their fidelity. (Carpenter and McCown)

This simplistic explanation of a very complex scripture highlights clearly the enmity, most notably through the last verse.

Enmity

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. [Revelation 12:17]

The war in heaven is considered by many scholars to take place before the creation of man.

Evil spirits, in the beginning created sinless, were equal in nature, power, and glory with the holy beings that are now God’s messengers. But fallen through sin, they are leagued together for the dishonor of God and the destruction of men. United with Satan in his rebellion, and with him cast out from heaven, they have, through all succeeding ages, co-operated with him in his warfare against the divine authority. We are told in scripture of their confederacy and government, of their various orders, of their intelligence and subtlety, and of their malicious designs against the peace and happiness of men. (White. The Great Controversy. Chapter 31, Agency of Evil Spirits. Page 513)

Man lived in a perfect state of peace and tranquility in the garden. Man was in perfect balance with nature and God. All things were in their place and had their place. Lucifer, the fallen angel, put doubt in man and, through deceit and lies, caused man to disobey God. Thus, knowing good and evil. From Adam’s fall, to Cain murdering his brother, wickedness and disobedience have yet to cease [Genesis 4:8].

The war is between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither did it thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned. [Wisdom of Solomon 12:11] (Apocrypha: King James Version)

He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man: The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil… [Matthew 13:37-38]

Not as Cain, who was OF THAT WICKED ONE, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. [1 John 3:12]

And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. [Genesis 25:23-26]

The Adversary

Satan is the god of this world, this earth; to the point, he could even tempt the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because, while Jesus was on earth, he was subject to the laws of the earth, of which Satan is the prince.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. [Genesis 4:8-11]

God created and controlled all things in the universe [Nehemiah 9:6]. God is still in control; scripture clearly shows certain events, timelines, and occurrences will happen all leading to the end of the demonic rule on earth [Revelation 12:2]. The following passages gives us the beginning of the rebellion, which every living being on the earth, and spirits in the heaven and beneath, are fighting until this day.

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workman- ship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore, I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted  thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. [Ezekiel 28:12-17]

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [Isaiah 14:12-14]

I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH, is the DECLARATION of WAR! Satan is attempting to set up a permanent kingdom on earth.  He knows he has but a window of time. He still thinks he can outsmart the Creator. Until that time when he is cast in the lake of fire, he will be drafting human soldiers for his demonic army. Make no mistake about it, CHRIST CONQUERED THE ENEMY, now it’s up to you: whose side you will be on!

Through his death and resurrection, Christ sealed the final judgment of Satan and demons. The cross reveals God's hatred and judgment of all sin. The just One had to die if the unjust ones were to be forgiven [I Peter 3:18]. He became legally identified with sin that we might be legally identified with God's righteousness [2 Corinthians 5:21]. …The cross, then, was a judgment of all sin and therefore, a judgment on the originator of sin, Satan, and all among men or angels who follow him. There will be a final judgment of Satan and his kingdom, the world of sinners, because judgment was passed on him at the cross [John 16:11]…. He is a condemned criminal awaiting final judgment. (Dickason. Angels, Elect and Evil. Chapter 22, Defeat and Destiny of Satan and Demons. Page 212)

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. [Revelation 20:10]

Soldiers

We are living in the time of great neutrality. No one wants to stir the pot or cause any trouble. Whether you hear the tanks or not, shots are being fired from the enemy every day, in this not-so-subtle final battle.

In any war, there are only two sides. Those who choose to stay neutral or stay in the middle  will automatically be destroyed. By being quiet, not starting any controversy or attempting to not offend someone due to their personal beliefs, the believer in Christ has already picked their side.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. [Mark 8:34-38]

In this war of the ages, there are two generals; to be clear, they are not equal! To be crystal clear, one was created by the other. The one is not a creator, and never will be. The creation is only subject to the creator, this is a part of the initial envy. The false Christs, the false use of the name of God, the name of Jesus Christ, the defaming of the Holy Spirit, have all been used as trickery by the enemy, to draft you as a soldier for evil.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. [I John 2:22]

We will dive into the false teachings wrapped into the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the book. The deception is beyond any stretch of the imagination, and we all, none excluded, have been deceived in one way or another. Quite simply, if any denies the work of Christ on the cross, if they deny that, by his death and through faith in his name, one can be saved, they are anti-Christ.

Earthly Army of the Lord

When is someone drafted in to the army? It is the moment they hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is  not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [John 3:16-18]

As simplistic as the Good News of Jesus Christ is, this one simple fact of salvation has been muddied, trampled over, disregarded, demeaned and smeared to the point that even believers, forget the Gift of God. And neglect to share or are ashamed of the Gospel.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is  above  every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [Philippians 2:9-11]

Once you hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, from the age of accountability, it is up to you to accept or reject what you hear, by faith. In today’s world, the number of vast resources, teaching and materials we have for free is insurmountable. Especially if you live in the free world. The question then becomes, what about the ones who have not heard the Gospel? Firstly, it’s up to God’s soldiers to go into the vineyard and do the work of spreading the Gospel.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  [Mark 16:15]

Secondly, the Word clearly states that the Gospel must be preached to the ends of the earth, before the end.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. [Matthew 24:14]

God is a fair and a just God and he doesn’t wish that any should perish. If the gift of God is refused, then that person has sealed their fate. If you knew of the Gospel, and then rejected it, you have sealed your fate. In understanding the enemy and this war, you must have a firm grip on these gospel truths. The work of the Lord is to go into the vineyard. It’s not to start a business, find a spouse, go on a vacation or get an education. These are the things we need to survive in this world. Our job is simply to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and his salvation, and then to work what- ever our assignment is in the Kingdom of God. Tragically, most professing Christians today do not do any work of evangelizing.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. [Luke 2:10]

Working in your local church; edifying the other members of the body of Christ; assembling  for worship, are all essential elements to working in the army. But we are commanded to spread the Gospel message. We spread the Gospel by our testimony. Our personal testimonies are one of the most powerful agents to bring others to the light of Christ.

Boot Camp

Even with the work of evangelism, it is critical to receive training. No one goes to battle without training, and neither should you. Especially those that are new believers. Although you have a zeal, and a fire, it is critical you be trained how to properly witness to people, how to discern scripture and how to best represent the Lord.

The Holy Spirit equips, enables and empowers us to be able to minister to people with God’s all sufficient grace according to their level of ministry maturity. Paul wrote, For by the grace given me I say to every one of you. Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given to you [Romans 12:3]. Ask the Lord to equip, enable and empower you to minister to people according to their unique ministry maturity without becoming proud, controlling or condescending. (Fritz)

The book of Romans Chapter 12, gives us an example view of the varying levels of ministry and service unto the Lord;

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ,  and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:  he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy,  with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;  cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful  in business; fervent in spirit;  serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient  in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. [Romans 12:1-21]

Brothers and sisters, I can tell you now, the enemy is training people for service, and that is their entire goal. Training to bring people into the false light.

Agents of Satan

The Word of God makes it very clear who Satan uses to fulfill his mission on earth.

False Christs: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [Mark 13:6]

False Teachers: For the time will come when they will not endure sound  doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. [II Timothy 4:3]

False Prophets: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [I John 4:1]

Heretics: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [II Peter 2:1]

Diviners and Magicians: If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, where of he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy [13:1-3]

Evil spirits in disguise: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 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. [II Corinthians 11:14-15]

Apostates: Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. [I John 4:2-3]

"Satan’s agents are constantly working under his direction to establish his authority and build up his kingdom in opposition to the government of God. To this end they seek to deceive Christ’s followers and allure them from their allegiance. Like their leader, they misconstrue and pervert the Scriptures to accomplish their object. As Satan endeavored
