Prevailing Edge

My Thesis

A Simple Observation.

There is a spirit in the world today. A spirit so vile, so hideous , so sinister and sneaky that it has slipped in under our very noses while we, as Christians, were sleeping. It seems that after the dust had settled from the "Scopes Monkey Trial", we Christians in America decided to lay down and take a nap and it seems like a very long nap indeed. We slept through the New Deal, it slipped in, and the government declared that, we the people, couldn't be counted upon to run our own finances so they became god and decided to run our financial affairs. We where asleep when it slipped in and the Murray v. Curlett case decided God (the creator of the universe) was a religion. It slipped in and removed Him from our schools. We slept through the Great Society where it slipped in and it was decided that our faith and our centers of worship were not enough to take care of our poor and the government appointed itself god and provider above all the people. Not long after, the New York Times, on January 9, 1966 was bold enough to proclaim that "God Is Dead" in big bold letters on the front page of their newspaper. By the time we woke up for the Roe v. Wade decision, we were too weak and too tired to resist and so we scratched our head, yawned and went back to sleep. God has basically been eradicated from society and now Christians, and Jews, are slowly but surely being marginalized.

Now we are reaping that which was sown in this Godless society that was set up in His stead. This insidious evil has taken control of our leader's minds and made them believe they are doing what's good for the people who they are supposed to be leading. They have gone from leading to lording. They believe they know what’s best for everyone and they are going to appoint themselves as our guardians, lord over us if you will, and tell us what kind of food is acceptable to eat, what kind of cars are acceptable to drive, and what kind of doctor is acceptable and when you can see one. God only knows where it is going to end. This essence of evil, which is in itself anti-Christ, has grown so powerful it even believes it can dictate policies to our churches that are a complete antithesis of their belief systems. The Anti-Christ is here and we are witnessing its rise to power. The America we knew and loved is gone and will never return.

The apostle John, not long after Christ's crucifixion, spoke of the anti-Christ to come and that there were already many anti-Christ's. (I John 4:3). This spirit, however, has been with us since before Christ ever walked the Earth. It was there in the beginning when the first humans where frolicking in the garden. It was in the serpent that promised that we could be gods and know what God knows. It was there when our Savior was crucified on the cross and it showed itself when the Bolsheviks overthrew Czar Nicholas II, of Russia, which set the stage for Lenin to set up the anti-Christ Communist Party. Then it reared its ugly head again in, anti-Christ (there is no room for God or Christ in fascism, or socialism), Nazi Germany which plunged the whole world into the darkness of World War II. Unfortunately, it was not vanquished when Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito were defeated. It lives on today, and it is taking control of the whole Earth. By now you should know who this spirit is. This spirit has a name. This spirit is Satan himself.

What Makes An Anti-Christ

Anti-Christ is alive and well in the Middle East. In Islamic countries Christians and Jews are barely tolerated, and in the more radical states they are even persecuted, legally. In rare instances Christians are dragged from their homes and beaten, and even killed in some cases, just because they are not Muslims, or because they have disrespected Muslim (Sharea) law. This goes for all religions who will not accept the warlord Muhammad as their prophet. The same is true of Jews who are also condemned to death simply for being a Jew, and in their own country for God’s sake. Yea, the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he does God a service - John16:2.

What makes an Anti-Christ is simple. Anyone who does not believe that Christ was a real flesh and blood human being, is an anti-Christ. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come: and even now already is in the world. - I John 4:3
It’s that simple. If anyone does not believe that Jesus Christ lived and breathed and was not who he said he was, then they are anti-Christ. Therefore, if anyone reject Christ, they are not of God, but are anti-Christ.

Wherein We Should Be Killed

In the "End Time" ( which many agree, began immediately after the ascension of Jesus), during the "last days" of the End Time, there will be two distinct beasts. The first beast which many scholars agree now was Rome, eventually became such a large bureaucracy, and became so corrupt that the system finally caved in on itself. In the ensuing vacuum the church, which was the most organized power at the time, stepped in and took over the position of Caesar and declared the Pope to be the leader of the "revived" Roman empire. The first beast, Rome, which was wounded in the head became Holy Rome, or the "Holy Roman Empire" when the wound was healed. The Holy Roman Empire is eventually succeeded by a new kind of "beast". . a second beast that rises up out of the "Earth" (Rev.13:11) who will be as powerful as the first beast in Rev. 13, a beast with two horns like a lamb, whose horns were not adorned with crowns, which is to say there is no royalty associated with the leadership of this "final" beast which rises out of the Earth (All the beasts before revolved around the sea, which is probably a reference to the Mediterranean Sea). This last beast remarkably resembles the "New World Empire" (New World Order) that has grown out of the United States. Revelation 13 says this second beast will be the mouth piece of the dragon (Satan), and the dragon will exercise all the power of the first beast (Rome) and cause the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (which was ant-Christ) whose deadly wound was healed (Rev, 13:12). The socialist New World Order has no room for Christ or the God of Abraham. As we have seen with our own eyes, the Judeo Christian religious philosophy is being mocked and ridiculed over and over again as it has been shot at from the spiritual canons of the Anti-Christ religion in the East as well as the West, and just as with the first beast, the second beast will wage war on the saints ( those who choose to worship the true God of Abraham) who will reject the Anti-Christ and the socialist system his "beast" is creating. .

The final beast will have the power to make fire rain down from the heavens in the site of men (Rev.13:13). During World War II the obliteration of cities through what was called "carpet bombing" was used against the Nazi Fascists in order to save the world against the onslaught of the Anti-Christ socialist machine. And, as we can plainly see, the Japanese know all too well about the fire that this beast can call down from the heavens. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are testaments to the power wielded by such an all-powerful force against nature, and all that care to coexist with it. The anti-Christ spirit that has crept in and stolen America, now has control of these forces.

He will create an image that will actually speak and cause as many as will not worship the Anti-Christ should be killed (Rev, 13:15). During Hitler’s rise to power, he put a very talented writer in charge of his media campaign, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels. Goebbles’ plan was simple. Make his boss the solution to all Germany's problems. In order to do that he made the Jews scapegoats, or enemies of the German people by using a series of short films (most notably Jud Süß). There was no television in those days so Goebbles used the media at his disposal which were newspapers, radio, and the "big screen" (movies). News papers and radio were a big help, but the real thing that actually pushed the German people over the edge was the movies that Goebbles made. It was the image they saw. The image that could speak to them from the silver screen. His media machine was able to convince a whole country that the Jews were to blame for all the problems in the world and that they would benefit by there eradication. First he marginalized the Jews in the media. Then he marginalized the Jews in reality. He then ostracized the Jews in the media, then he ostracized the Jews in reality. Finally he eliminated the Jews in the media and began the "Final Solution" in reality.

Now we have television and the anti-Christ is taking full advantage of it. This insidious invention which was originally created as a novelty has become the propaganda machine of the Anti-Christ, which he is using to usher in the need for a "New World Order". It is intentionally used to keep the population euthanized in order to keep them pacified so the people don’t think for themselves. We are actually being hypnotized. (Don’t think so? Then just watch someone who is watching TV) Listen to the people who watch a lot of television and how they apply it to their daily lives. The people of this country, of the world, are emulating what they see on television. Now if you look closely, anything that is remotely connected to Jesus Christ on television is lambasted and ridiculed as some weird religion followed by a bunch of kook believers who think they are better than everybody else. Even televangelists will never say anything along the lines of what you read here in order to keep their programming, and their corporate earnings. Christians are being marginalized in the media by the Anti-Christ just as the Jews were first marginalized in the media in Nazi Germany and the sad thing is Christians haven’t seemed to learn from history. However, Satan has learned from it. He has learned that you don’t just walk in, take over and then force the world to abide by your demands. He has learned that you work from the inside and create a demand for what you have to offer, no matter how confining and debilitating it ends up being for those who are asleep. He has learned that by marginalizing the opposition , it is easy to eliminate them later on. For God’s sake we Christians "must" stop watching television. Television is the one thing that is being used to keep us sedated so we don’t make a lot of noise while we’re being eradicated. We will be exterminated and the world will never know.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (Rev. 13:15).

Your Choice

Now to exist in the "New World Order" (the final beast) you will have to have a number or a mark on your right hand or on your forehead. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich or poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. - Rev. 13:16-17 This may not be literal, but may just mean that those who take the mark or number will be proud to have it and even brag about it. One thing is for sure, though, you won’t be able to live without it. Without the number of the beast or the mark, you will not be able to participate in the "new world economy". Here is wisdom. Let him that have understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred three score and six. - Rev. 13:18 The number of the beast will actually be the number of a man, or a man’s (or woman’s) personal number. Sound familiar? We have already been conditioned to accept a number. And who knows, that number may actually be the number we are marked with. If you think about it, the number 666 is in three sections, our personal number is in three sections without the number you will not be able to buy or sell, without our personal number we cannot buy or sell. So with all intents and purposes we have the number of the beast already. So, now we have one of two choices. Accept the number and reject Christ, or accept Christ and reject the number. Which will it be?

If you choose the first you can live in subjugation to the beast and accept the beast as your god, then deal with God later, or choose the latter and accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, suffer persecution from the beast and deal with God on much more favorable terms. If you choose the beast you will drink the wine of God’s wrath, which isn’t pretty (Rev. 14:10). If you choose Christ you will persecuted, imprisoned, and/or even killed but you will reap your reward in the hereafter for eternity(Rev. 14:13

Recommendations

It is important to know that if you are going to reject the "number of the beast" you will have to become a member of an "underground" church. Otherwise, if you plan on going it alone the odds of your survival will be pretty slim. Chances are, if you try to go it alone you will either be killed or you will spend a lot of time in a FEMA camp.

Because you are rejecting the "mark", or number, you will not be able to function in the "world". Therefore, the true church will have to create a society that is totally separate from the one established by the beast. A society that will be ridiculed by the media and persecuted by the law.
The bible is very specific about the church's retreat into the "underground" (the wilderness) in Revelation 12, where the apostle John speaks of God preparing a place in the wilderness for the woman (i.e., the church). And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared of God that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three score days. - Rev.12:6
The wilderness is a beautiful place and it's easy to live there. Our ancestors did it for years, but modern technology seems to have taken us further away from God, and now, just before His Son returns, He's calling us back.

War of the Worlds

Let us not forget that Jesus is our role model, and he was, and remains the "Prince of Peace" until his triumphant return when he will give Satan and the NWO (New World Order) a taste of their own medicine. Until then, however, we are to remain a peaceful people and let God do the fighting for us.
When we do have to fight, our weapon of choice is the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. We will stand our ground clothed in the full armor of God.
Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breast plate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. - Eph. 6:14-17

There will be many; even our own loved ones; members of our own families whom we have loved and trusted for years will be taken in by the leader of the NWO who will tell them how they just need to trust him and he will make their world a wonderful place. All they need to do is accept his changes. But those who stay true to their faith and know what the things that God has warned us about will know better than to believe the leader of the NWO because we know that he is really Satan's mouthpiece. We will stand our ground and we will do amazing things.And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do mighty exploits. - Dan. 11:32

You may have noticed it seems that the world is dividing up. It seems that there are two sides shaping up. It seems that everyone is either for God or against Him, and it seems that those who stand against God are the ones who are in power, and they are gaining more power day by day. This power is the power of Satan, and God is letting him have his day to show the whole earth that Satan's justice leads to death and destruction.

Every time Satan comes to power in any situation, in any country, in any political system the end result is that many innocent people die for no reason other than their beliefs. It happened in Russia, it happened in Nazi Germany, it happened in Cuba and it will happen in the United States. You may choose not to believe it, but it is going to happen. God warned us that it will happen. The United States, because of its Christian heritage, is in the way of the New World Order and it must fall for Satan to fully take charge. This will happen in order for the prophecies of God to come to pass, and when it does, many innocent people are going to be put to death simply because they believe in God and that they should not accept a number or mark on their person.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Although our immediate future looks unimaginably bleak, fear not because not even Satan can wield a single weapon against you or cause you any harm. You are of God; the God of Abraham; He will keep you from the evil one. Even if Satan does find you and put you to death, so what? You belong to God who is the God of life and not the god of death Satan is the god of death and death is where he will reign forever where as he will be separated from life for eternity. The Bible says that those who will be killed by the Anti-Christ (Satan) are blessed, and they will rest with the Lord God in heaven where their rejection of the beast will be noted and cataloged. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea smith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. - Rev. 14:13
