The Western once-Christian societies shall fall, and with them goes the world; we are just letting you know how they shall fall, so that you can chart the signs of the times, and observe the signposts along the way, to the world's eventual enslavement under the antichrist system, which is outlined in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation. And in alerting you, it may be that perchance you can escape the worst of it. Knowing your enemy's plan goes a long way towards your survival in any battle. There is a subtle long-term program designed to draw you away from Jesus Christ and sound doctrine. And seeing it for what it is may be the edge that you need to enable you to know to what to do as we begin the final run-up to the Tribulation. If you know how your enemy plans to deceive you, you are a lot less likely to be deceived. God always wanted His people to be aware and to be knowledgeable. He also wanted them to be stand-uppers, not lay-downers. At the birth of Christianity, a religion founded upon the blood of the Messiah of God, whom the evil of this world killed and crucified, the early church fought insurmountable odds against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, and they won. Christianity, like a bright light turned on in a dark place, shed forth salvation all over this once-dark world. Many good men and women died for this faith. But now, in the end of the world, it is getting dark again; the light is dimming, not because that light is weak, but that there is none to carry it to the darkness. We have not been good stewards of the the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Many good men died that we could even breath Christ's name aloud. Many were killed, and their whole families too, for simply saying Jesus Christ, Messiah of God. In secret they huddled in home churches fearing the knock on the door, out of their lack and their children's need they gave the Apostles provision, with their very life in the balance they worshiped the Lord that they knew was true, and whom had done as much and so much more for them. Have they died in vain? Watching the nightly news or picking up a newspaper today it would seem that they have. Today, in a futile effort to appease the enemies of God, Christ, and the religion and people that bear His name¯Christianity, the end-time Christian pretends that all will be well if they just dumb down and close their eyes, keeping silent; as the forces of satan methodically dismantle God's created order, His Scripture, and His Salvation Jesus Christ. The Emperor really isn't naked, we say, there is not an elephant in the room, as it steps upon us. Christian's failure to take stands, fight for what's right, contend for the faith, speak out against wrongs and errors, and our wishy-washy attitude towards the destruction of all that we hold dear, is to be our eventual overthrow: Hos 4:6 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. KJV This cannot be stopped, the Tribulation shall befall us, for it is Holy Spirit inspired prophesy, written in the past-tense in the Bible. "...and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast...." (Rev 13:3-4). This is what the International Judaic conspirators have been working for centuries, even millennia, to bring forth; they were born for it: "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." (Jude 4). But you are not fated on an individual level, you do have choices, options. Many wise Christians shall escape the slaughter of the Tribulation. They shall have something in common, they will understand what is going on around them. Didn't know that Christians were going to die during the Great Tribulation? See Scriptural Evidences That Christians Shall Die In The Great Tribulation. Thought that you were going to be Raptured out? See The Rapture Theory; What Does God's Word Say About It?. Now get sober minded, and quit listening to your destroyers when they proclaim good for you "saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace" (Jer 6:14). Jer 6:13-19 13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. 17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. 18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. KJV Bad things are coming, but they will present a utopia to you before the bottom drops out; be ready for that. Here, allow us to illustrate the Tribulation in four steps, like this: 1 First it gets real bad......First part of Trib(One World Order) 2 Then it gets healed,utopia...... Second part of Trib(antichrist) 3 Then all hell breaks loose...... 4 Then comes the end..................Second Advent Many people will err by thinking that step 2 above, is really step 4, and become lost when step 3 happens upon them. Step 4 will not be a glorious time of rewards for these. The Rapturist (Pentecostals, Charismatics, Baptists, etc.) will have his faith shaken when he finds himself in step 1, having thought that he was to have been Raptured before these troubles; and he will be vulnerable to being deceived when step 2 comes in, for by now all his doctrine is contradicted; he will be totally bewildered when step 3 comes about. Who knows what his state shall be at step 4. This is the great danger of the Rapture teaching. The "play-Christians" (Catholics, Episcopalians, Protestant offshoots, etc. et al), never having learned sound doctrine in their respective church systems, will change sides at step 1 to join the beast (New World Order); even now this trend is beginning in most so-called Christian denominations under the guise of "tolerance" and a lukewarm and watering-down brand of new age "Christian love & compassion." They left their first love (Christ Jesus) long ago. Then at step 2 these will join antichrist, securing their continued temporary safety and comfort. In step 4 they shall hear the fateful words out of the Lord of lords and King of king's mouth "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt 7:23). For: Jer 5:30-31 30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? KJV Atheists, Agnostics, all uncommitteds, and all members of the other religions (which are ALL false religions) shall follow the same pattern as the play-Christians in the group above; or they shall be executed under the first beast (human rule); whoever of these that shall somehow survive the first 42 months, until antichrist arrives in the second part of the Tribulation (godly rule under a false god satan/antichrist), will bow to his (satan as false god) other-worldly powers. Like the unfaithful dog who will hunt with anyone which takes him, they shall follow, first the New World Order (the first beast), then they shall fawn at the feet of it's master (antichrist/satan). Their fate has long ago been sealed, only to be overturned by a sincere Christian conversion not likely during the Tribulation, where everything is geared towards steering converts into antichrist's new age religion of the beast. Then, for all of the unsaved world, shall be fulfilled the ominous Scripture: 2 Thess 2:1-4 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [satan as the antichrist]; 4 Who [satan/antichrist] opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. KJV The human race universal is the victim in this crime, God is the Complainant, satan is the offender, and the International Judaic Cadre are the conspirators. Thank God, for the Christian's sake, that they can appeal directly to Him for help and protection in the name of their Savior Jesus Christ. All other religions are in a heap of trouble, satan has the mastery over them, for their gods are vain. These will easily convert to antichrist's new religion, for their own religion was false all along; what great thing is it to switch from one lie to another? So they will enjoy a time of relative peace during the Tribulation as long as they worship antichrist (satan). But Christians, they cannot worship satan, thus they shall not fare so well when worship is ordered under pain of death (unless God protects them Divinely¯which He does appear to do for two groups on two separate occasions in Revelation chapter twelve), for the Tribulation is designed specifically for them, their religion is real and it is the power of God in Christ Jesus. Satan doesn't like that. Written by Nick Goggin
