Where Do We Stand? Series
Part 9
.
.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 NKJV — The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The New Temple’s Darkest Hour
.
Scientific researchers have concluded and scientific published articles have stated that to change and start a new habit of behavior could take a total of 21 days to as long as 2 months. If changing your way and perception of life can happen so quickly, then could a carefully edited and monitored propaganda campaign change opinions and beliefs of a world so desperate for an answer? Could people really believe a lie? Scientific experts say, yes.
.
The “One Vision” Satellite Network
.
With tribulation events in full effect, it must be assumed that the Antichrist has embarked on a no holds barred media campaign against Christians, conservatives and the scourge of the Earth, as he calls them, the Jews.
.
Ever since he rose to power and obtained control as world leader, every nation submitted to him, adopted a new religious theology and a new economic system by receiving the mark of the beast, anyone who had opposed him were subject to brutal persecutions that ultimately led to death. Keeping it a secret was hard at first but when the rejection of the Jewish people in the Temple where he declared himself as God, the order to exterminate the Israelites became public and war was declared against God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and all who followed and believed in them.
.
Jerusalem, Israel
.
Jeremiah 16:14-15 NKJV — “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ “but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.
.
In 70 A.D. after the Roman Empire had destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple, the Israelites were scattered throughout all the nations of the world and Israel was no more. If Israel did not exist then Jesus could never return to save His people and establish His eternal Kingdom. To extinguish the Jews has been tried before, most recently by Adolf Hitler in World War II.
.
World War II
.
Hitler understood the significance of Jeremiah’s prophecy and was willing to do whatever he could to stop the prophecy from being fulfilled. After all, he was on the brink of conquering the world and Hitler believed that he himself was a god. Many historians dismiss the notion that Adolf Hitler had given any credence to the Bible since he publicly advocated the burning of books and materials that didn’t support the master race agenda. Privately, Hitler was a believer in the occult and had studied the scriptures when he was a child in Austria. The “Final Solution” was a secret operation until it was exposed.
.
On June 1, 1942, a Warsaw underground newspaper, the Liberty Brigade, made public the news of the gassing of tens of thousands of Jews at Chelmno, a Nazi-operated death camp in Poland, almost seven months after extermination of prisoners began. The war had turned ugly. Hitler had crossed the line, a line so many had crossed before, only to fail in their quest to overthrow God. The war would end with the death and defeat of Hitler and the liberation of Europe and the captive Jews.
.
The Temple
.
The reason the Third Temple will be allowed to be built is because the Antichrist knows the Jewish people will build it according to the specifications God had given to King David and followed by King Solomon. To stand in a Temple that the Lord God would approve of would be a gesture of replacing God and ascending to the throne as he has always desired since before the Earth was created. Satan’s plan has been revealed.
.
Mystery Babylon
.
Anything to do or related to the God of Israel, Israel itself and Jesus the Messiah is strictly taboo during the reign of the Antichrist and the powerful economic and religious system that the False Prophet oversees known as Babylon the Great. By the time that the Tribulation Period commences, the “mother” of harlots will have gathered all her “daughters” under her idol-wings. What will happen to those people who will reject her?
.
Revelation 17:6 NKJV — I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
.
Those who oppose “her” will be put to death. Christians and Jews will specifically be targeted because of the mandate implemented by the Antichrist. Power and military might will be obtained from the economic prosperity the system brings. Because so many will become wealthy, as long as they tow the line, persecuting and executing the “haters” of this “New World Order,” will cause many to blindly follow the Beast, False Prophet and Satan to eternal peril.
.
The Tribulation Continues
.
The Jewish people have fled Jerusalem and are hiding under God’s protection. The search for them has increasingly grown harder and the plagues and natural disasters that have befallen mankind continue. Blasphemous rants come from the False Prophet cursing God but to no avail. The other “kings” begin to turn on the Great Babylon demanding answers and a resolution to their torment. A change in their predicament will come swiftly.
.
Revelation 18:1-5 NKJV — After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. “For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
.
Revelation 18 begins with an announcement and a warning of a judgement of the harlot Babylon.
.
In part 10 of our series, “Where Do We Stand?” We will continue to look into the fate that awaits Babylon and the gathering at Armageddon.
.
Revelation 18:10 NKJV — “standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
