Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast
in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your
brethren that are in the world.”
The
devil is like a wild animal seeking to devour you. He is attempting to destroy
everything and everyone associated with God. The spirit of Antichrist is
becoming stronger as each day passes. His followers are becoming more vocal and
more active. Their goal is to destroy everything affiliated with Jesus Christ.
This is the rise of the last day's influence of Satan setting the stage for the
beast in the prophecy of Daniel and in the prophecy of John in the book of
Revelation.
This
conflict between good and evil has manifested itself through the centuries with
an ebb and flow of severity. However, the consequences of the conflict can be
directly related to the rebellion of man against the laws and sovereignty of
God. This is a conflict between the Light of Heaven and the powers of Darkness.
Satan’s war has always been against the Sovereignty of Almighty God and the man
of flesh is his pawn in this conflict.
Although
times of evil and darkness have gripped the earth in centuries past, the grand
finale is still to come. Satan is preparing for his last stand. He knows his
end and will do everything in his power to destroy all he can. He has targeted
world governments, world leaders, Christian leaders, Christian churches,
families, and individuals. His goal is to destroy order and control. He wants to
create total chaos.
The
course of human history is directly related to the willingness of mankind to
seek after and follow the sovereign will of God. In recent years we have seen a
digression from Biblical morals and values and a more rapid deviation from
Biblical principles in the past decade. This behavior has brought us to where
we are as a nation and as a world community.
The consequences of rebellion will rule eternity. How we respond to the voice of God will determine our future and the future of all who will hear us. We must understand where we are on God’s timetable! We must remain alert and watchful to escape the cataclysmic events just ahead! Sound the alarm!
