The Daily Word of Righteousness
Spiritual Forces of the Last Days, #45
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (II Corinthians 11:14)
If a Christian becomes President of the United States he will be approached by Satan masquerading as an angel of God, or as the Lord Jesus Himself. Because of the level of deception in which the Christian President already will be living, he will accept the credentials of the angel. The angel will offer to give him victory in war, prosperity in the United States, unprecedented popularity, and other desires of his heart.
He may not be as fortunate as the deceived pastor. He may not die and thus escape through death the web being spun around him. He may go on to be a forerunner of Antichrist, or Antichrist himself.
Thoughts Concerning the Future.
There can be no question that we are in the last days. The return of the Jews to Israel from all over the world is one indication that the prophetic clock is ticking again. Daniel's seventieth week is about to begin.
The witness empowered by the latter-rain revival will be given to the nations of the earth. There will be unprecedented signs and wonders. It is our point of view that in the near future, because of the outpouring of the power of God, a majority of earth's population will profess Christ.
Meanwhile the firstfruits of the Bride of the Lamb will hear the voice of the Bridegroom and commence the long, tortuous route from worldliness, the lusts of the flesh, and self-will, to the state of perfect conformity to Christ's image and complete union in the Father and the Son.
The Antichrist, democratic system of encouraging each person to be his own god, to nourish his own will until it becomes the most important factor of the universe, already has made substantial progress in the world.
The Communist system of dictatorship may prove to be the last effort of an individual, or a small group of people, to rule the masses by physically crushing the resistance. We think it is possible, in spite of the current demise of the traditional control of the Soviet Union by the Communist Party, that the Communists will deal the democratic governments a deadly blow in the near future. After that, Russia, the leader of the Communist war machine, will be destroyed by the Lord on the mountains of Israel.
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. (Ezekiel 39:4)
Then the False Prophet, whom we believe to be Christians living in the soul who have learned to operate supernatural power, will lend their support to the concept of man-centered government. Thus the wound of the Beast, who represents the democratic philosophy of government in conjunction with free-enterprise capitalism, will be healed and the concept of libertarian democracy will prevail in the major nations of the earth.
There will be pressure from a seemingly benevolent democratic government on all Christian groups to join together to work for the common good of mankind. This will appear to be a righteous effort and many Christian leaders will accept positions of influence in the civil government, thinking they will be able to exert a godly influence. They will not understand the depth of Satan's wisdom.
To be continued.
