We live in a strange time. Technology is every where and knowledge is increasing at an incredible rate. Half the World is physically starving and the other half is spiritually starving. The spiritually malnourished church of the developed world has real physical wealth but as Jesus Christ the Nazerine said to the Laodicean church in Revelation 3:17-18 “Verse 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” NIV 

 

 

In the developed world the Church has money and all of the people have technology but the people are lost. Lost in digital games, social media and held captive in and imaginary world oblivious to the truth. Programmed to think only certain thoughts through a media controlled by world rulers of spiritual darkness. Deprived of the very thing that can set them free. Encouraged to do what ever they set their minds too, regardless of the consequences to themselves or others. Curriculum in schools and the laws have been rewritten to enshrine that very demonic principal. “Do what you will.”

 

 

In the recent past a great deal of effort has gone into educating the people in what should or should not be said and by individual citizens. This is done by categorising some free speech as hate speech with the result that the voice of reason has been silenced. It is now dangerous for a Christian teacher, or leader, to share the gospel in school setting or, even in a public setting. It would be dangerous for a member of the public to share the gospel with an atheist or member of another religion, such as, Islam. In some countries you could be arrested or charged for doing just that.

This attack on the Culture of Christ has used atheism and secular socialism to take control of the education system. Over time it has elicited continual compromise from the Church over the teaching of Evolution and Secular Humanism. The intention is to wipe Christianity from the people by showing them that it is proven to be scientifically, and philosophically, unsound and and to ultimately leave them defenseless against the institution of a new World Order and ultimately a New World Religion. A religion that will supersede all of the current religions and lead to the worship of the Antichrist.

 

 

Which leaves us as believers in Jesus Christ with the question “What can we do about it?” Which brings me back to Revelation 3:18 Verse 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” NIV I would advise you revisit the history of the Church since the time of the apostles. Perform and Internet search on the Church of the Apostles, the Vaudois , the Waldensian and the Albigensian Churches and the Anabaptist Church. Get yourself a copy of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and get a feel for what it means to be a Christian under persecution. 

 

 

When our Lord Jesus says “... Buy from me gold refined in fire.” He means for us to undergo persecution and in the process become perfected. It means that as this New World Order is ushered in that the secular world will turn on the Christian Church. Once again to follow Jesus may well mean to pick up your cross and to die for your beliefs. Once more the Church of this World will persecute the Bride of Christ. The true Christian Church. We who believe that “All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13. That “God so loved the World that he gave his only son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes on him shall not perish but will inherit eternal life.” John 3:16. That as Martin Luther said we are saved by faith alone.
