Existential Threat

If you pay any attention to the news, you know the enemy is preparing to attack on a scale we haven’t seen in recent memory. In fact, we are already at war and casualties are mounting. It’s less obvious because the enemy is hiding his actions and intentions. They have been secretly attacking via social media for years, sowing discord, preparing the battlefield for the attack that will eventually give them control over the world.

European leaders are at a loss as to what to do. Young people, who haven’t experienced hard times, are provoked by enemy agents to resist authority, and bring down the system. Rebels have infiltrated the highest offices and support ideas that weaken us and draw people away from real help. They question fundamental truths that sustained us during previous hard times and gave us a strong foundation to rely on.

Another leader is preparing to take over what he says belongs to him. He became powerful because people lined up to get some of what he has. In their desire to please him, they put their future under his control. They gave him power, not realizing he is stealing from them, will destroy what they hold dearest, and will either control or kill them.

Our self-centered leaders are obsessed with keeping their power at all costs. They try to please everyone and end up pleasing no one. Their failed efforts make them more dependent on people with questionable intentions. The deals they made with the devil to gain power must be settled, and the price will be high.

How can you be so sure Russia and China will attack and take over the world? I’m talking about the thief who “cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10 KJV). He has been attacking since the beginning and people found help “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb 12:2 KJV). They used to hold their leaders to high standards and looked to the Bible for answers.

The Church became tolerant of sin and said, “say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits” (Isa 30:10 KJV). They became “blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (Mat 5:14). They no longer show the way but are trying to hide it!

Anything or anyone (including ourselves) we honor more than GOD is an idol and JESUS said “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Mat 22:37-39 KJV). JESUS is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6 KJV). If you want the answer, it’s JESUS because “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). Seek JESUS, believe JESUS, accept JESUS, and obey JESUS! The End? No, that’s the beginning!
