The Power behind the Headlines

If asked, most Christians would probably say that atheistic Darwinism is the most powerful threat to the faith these days, the goal being to create a godless world. At one time, I would have agreed. Having spent the last few years studying eschatology and the occult, however, I've come to see things differently. We've had the answer in front of us for 2000 years, and we can see the story unfolding behind today's headlines.

Atheism is not the enemy's goal; it's merely a tool in his hand, a weapon he is using alongside armed conflict, social calamity, and moral decay. With these things, he intends to destroy Christianity as the dominant worldview of the west, leading people to believe that Christianity has no answers, that the loving God of the Bible cannot possibly exist, that we are effectively on our own. Yet, he also knows that human beings possess a God-given spiritual sensitivity, an inner sense of morality and destiny, and an inherent longing for purpose and fulfillment. Atheism cannot provide these things. It may be able to weaken the faith of some (perhaps even most) in the western world, but it cannot replace that faith. It's a label on an empty philosophical bottle. It's cold. It has no answers. Someone once said that "Nothing is what rocks think about." If so, then atheism is the religion of rocks, for it offers nothing beyond its own premise; it's essentially a statement of (perceived) fact, nothing more.

What the enemy ultimately wants is for both atheism and Christianity to fail. In their place, he will substitute the worship of himself. The Bible predicted this long ago. It tells us that, in the last days, a composite religion will arise, led by a false prophet who will deceive multitudes with demonically-empowered miracles.

No, atheistic Darwinism is only a means, not the end. An atheistic world would not worship Lucifer, and that is what he wants above all things - worship.

Keep your eyes on the occult, and on the current efforts to unite the world's major religions - an effort centering on the city of Jerusalem and, likely, coming under the leadership of the Vatican. Luciferianism is the power at work behind the headlines, the "mystery of iniquity" to which the apostle Paul referred twenty centuries ago, the guiding hand behind every conflict and deception in the world today. It has many faces, manifests in many ways, but it has only one goal:

The enthronement of the "god of this age."
