The doctrine of Antichrist, that man can govern his life by using his own mind, is as fierce and as fast as a leopard; as powerful as a bear; as threatening as a lion. Who can wage war against it?

The Communist empire of today is discovering people want freedom of expression. No oppressive government will be able to hold down people forever. The peoples of the earth are beginning to demand their "rights." (Since this booklet first was written there appears to be some genuine movement toward democracy in Russia, in fulfillment of our prediction.)

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (Revelation 13:3)

It is not impossible that America, which appears to be one of the heads of libertarian thinking, will be grievously wounded in the near future. The judgment of God is on America, and on other nations as well, because of the blood that has been shed at the hands of abortionists.

The southern border of America is unprotected. Perhaps the terrorist nations already have the date marked on their calendar when they will strike by sabotage, and by missiles from the south, followed up by Russian missiles from both oceans.

It might be possible then for Russia to demand the surrender of England and in one moment attain mastery over the continent of Europe and then the remainder of the world.

But the "deadly wound was healed"!

It is not in Satan's interest to permit the destruction of America, because America is a purveyor of his filth via the television programming that originates in Hollywood and New York.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Revelation 13:5)

God will keep a strict chain on Antichrist. It is God who gives authority and power to Antichrist, and it is God who will bring an end to this abomination. The forty-two months refer to the three and one-half years of the second half of Daniel's seventieth week, the period of the reign of Antichrist and the destruction caused by the great tribulation.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in [the] heaven. (Revelation 13:6)

We are experiencing this blasphemy today. The Western nations at one time maintained a respect for God. Today, freedom of expression is being used as an excuse for blaspheming Jesus. We see this in the motion picture industry, and also in the arts as painters blaspheme the Lord in their works. This is happening in America and the libertarians are clamoring that the artists must be free to express themselves—even to the point of blaspheming God, His name, His dwelling place, and those who dwell in Heaven.

It is taking place today!

To be continued.
