No, I am not speaking of General George Armstrong Custer’s “last stand” in Montana in 1876. I am speaking of Christianity’s last stand against the “little horn” spoken of in Daniel Chapter 7. We were duly warned 2500 years ago that this “little horn,” a combined religious and political power would desire to change “laws” (verse 25). Notice, the term is plural. Many think this text refers to Catholicism’s changing the sabbath law of God to Sunday – one law. It is not speaking of such, but of Islam’s desire to change ALL laws everywhere to conform to Sharia Law – the rule of Koranic law! Many fail to see that the text does not say this power seeks to change “time,” – singular, but “times,” – plural. The “times” this Islamic leader will attempt to change are the seven “times” or years that scripture prophecy says he will rule and reign over the whole earth. It will be his intention to rule as long as he lives.
If believers could only set aside, forget, turn away from that which they have been spoon fed by well intentioned, but misguided, Bible teachers and instructors, they would see that the major threat to Christianity, and every other religion, in the end time is NOT Roman Catholicism per se, but Roman Catholicism in conjunction with Islam.
Satan’s deceptive powers are staggering and formidable. If we do not submit ourselves totally to the LORDship of Jesus Christ and allow the Word of God then to speak to our minds and hearts, we WILL be deceived in not one or more areas, but MANY areas. Satan’s intelligence is super human! Never forget that. If one could pit the intelligence of an Albert Einstein against that of Satan, it would be similar to pitting the intelligence of a 3-day old infant against Einstein.
When God created Lucifer, who became Satan, God’s adversary following his rebellion against God and His rule, God’s Word says, “Thus says the Lord God, ‘Thou (Lucifer) sealest up the sum, FULL OF WISDOM, and perfect in beauty…Thou wast PERFECT in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee” (See Ezekiel 28:12, 15). God always does His best. And when He imparted intelligence and wisdom to Lucifer, he did His best. He stood back, as it were, and said, “That’s the best I can do! That is the utmost intelligence I can create and give to another being other than myself!” Nowhere does any scripture even imply that when Lucifer rebelled he lost his intelligence. He did NOT! It was merely corrupted, now used against God and His will. And THAT’S the being we are up against on planet earth, one having an innate intelligence second only to that of God! Without God’s guidance and Holy Spirit we have no win against Satan. He could beat a thousand Einsteins at a game of chess in a millisecond. And he will beat you at your game of life every day, every time from here to eternity if you are not fully surrendered to Jesus Christ 24/7 in every area of your life – thoughts, speech and actions!
Not only America, but the world had better wake up to the era in which this present generation now lives. We are back in Bible times, folks, the times spoken of in Daniel and Revelation. God help you to understand is my prayer and hope.
