For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.Not only are the deceived being cheated, but they are being destroyed by the weapon of “hate” – their deceiver hates them. They think they are operating, living and functioning completely on their own as independent free souls, answerable to no one but themselves. And yet the one who brings them to their final end is called the “destroyer.” In Revelation 9: 11 Satan is referred to as Apollyon, which in Greek clearly means – “The Destroyer.” While the secularist thinks the Christians are plagued with stupidity, the Bible says the secularist is being primed for destruction. Being dumbed down for destruction hardly seems like much of a choice, but pop–culture cronies make that choice every day. Human vanity and pride are mountains which few secularists can scale without great difficulty. Humbling themselves to God is considered giving up instead of giving in to the grace that brings new life to the run down, repeating the same mistakes of the past and self-appointed sub-contractors for the all new cultural Tower of Babel. After publishing an article in which I said that “Sodomy and same sex 'marriages' are not social issues, they are excursions into reprobation,” an avowed # emailed me that perhaps I was right, but it didn’t matter because right now the homo-agenda is winning and that it felt good to win. Aside from “feelings" being the means by which their sin is fostered in the first place, all I could think of is how any temporary victory could be seen as worth it all, even if it meant that it cost your very soul. “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mt 16: 26) All of this would be no more than wasted admonition for the ardently foolish except that according to prophecy it is going to get worse. In fact, the Christians will be worn down by it all and it will become much harder to make a stand. By the time anti-Christ finally begins his brief rule over the earth the power of God’s people will be nearly run down. “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Dan 7: 25) The most important words in this passage are “be given into his hand” which indicate that he couldn’t go this far if God had not allowed it. It must be noted that anyone with penny’s worth of understanding should be able to decide – will it be - worn down with the saints or wiped out with the Godless. “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” (Pr 16: 2-5)
