This coming Presidential election in America is more than a political battle, it is a spiritual war. The outcome will be globally impactful. Politics and religion have been successfully groomed to become the spiritual battlefield for Satan’s worldwide war against the Eternal God and His righteous ones. This is especially magnified in the United States that was founded as a nation under Almighty God. We must consider the source of all the maddening upheaval and unimaginable conflicts that are spreading like wildfires on this earth, especially within America. It is recorded in Scripture, that the core of these battles began in heaven when Lucifer and the rebellious angels waged war against Yahveh the Most High God and Creator (Revelation 12:7-12). The Enemy pridefully and rebelliously asserted himself saying, ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;’… I will make myself like the Most High’ (Isaiah 14:13-14). As Satan and his demons were cast out of heaven down to earth, they have continued from the Garden of Eden, throughout the earth’s history, with the compelling desire to have sole rulership and demonic control over the world and it’s inhabitants (see Ezekiel 28:12-19). The Evil One, in essence was and is saying, “from heaven until the end of the age I am going to fight and win this war for supremacy. I could not win it in heaven, but I will win it on earth, and I will have the worship and allegiance of God’s creation.” Satan’s evil desire to have sole rulership and demonic control over humanity has not changed, instead, it is accelerating in unprecedented ways. Scripture tells us, “Satan is raging knowing his time is short, he has come to deceive all of humanity, and to accuse the brethren, the followers of the Most High God and Savior, who are his targeted arch enemies (see Revelation 12:9,10,12).
The Devil, through his demonic cohorts, is furiously gaining powerful momentum, enlisting multitudes to believe his lies, endorsing and reinforcing his ancient progressive global agenda (Isaiah 14:13). Our Savior magnified the nature of His scheming adversary saying, “Satan is the ruler of this world,” “He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, … Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 14:30, 8:44). The multitudes, including those with Judeo Christian values, who believe this tidal wave of unceasing lies, are unknowingly becoming Satan’s instruments for advancing his kingdom of darkness and deception. We can hear the cacophony of battle drums stirring up chaos, hatred, conflicts, fear mongering, and lawlessness, breaking the laws of the land and the Holy One’s laws and commandments. It is written, ”Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12). It appears as if the pit of hell has opened up releasing a demonic invasion beyond comprehension. The Spirit of truth is urging people to “come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will” (2 Timothy 2:26).
The Almighty God and Creator has the whole world in His hands. In these times of great technological advancement, through the power of the airwaves, this big world has become seemingly small. Therefore, what happens in a nation as important as the United States, will potentially affect the whole earth. Satan is biblically called, the “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). He rules and influences humanity through the airwaves, even more so, in these days of increasing high technology. He has inundated humanity with his lies and deception through ever increasing multi media avenues, which insidiously advance his global agenda. The powers of darkness, through the airwaves, have a staggering magnetic pull. Multitudes, including massive numbers of believers, are being sucked away by his lies and deception into the captivity of his kingdom of darkness. The Devil’s manifested power is becoming so irresistibly strong that only a remnant of faith filled, courageous, wholehearted followers of Yahshua (Jesus), will be able to stand against this demonic onslaught. They are the few, the obedient righteous ones, whose lives are surrendered in complete submission to their God, “holding out the sword of the spirit of truth” proclaiming, “He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defense; I shall not be moved”, I will continually “submit to Him and the devil must flee” in the name power and authority of Yahshua (Jesus) (Ephesians 6:17, Psalm 62:6, James 4:7).
It is written, “The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars” (1 Timothy 4:1-2). It is vital that we, as true followers of Yahshua (Jesus), have an all consuming, ever increasing love for the Truth, accompanied with a heightened “awareness of Satan’s schemes” (2 Corinthians 2:11). It is written, “The whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Messiah alerts us that in the last days, with the advancement of deception, that “if possible even the elect could be deceived” (Matthew 24:24). Yahshua (Jesus) warns, ”Watch out that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4).
Make no mistake this advancing kingdom of darkness and lies is the anti messiah (antichrist) spirit gaining momentum until his agenda is full blown with the “man of sin” sitting on the throne, ruling the world. He will have a brief tyrannical reign of demonic power and vain glory, when all the inhabitants of the world, except the true believers, will worship and submit to him by taking “the mark of the beast” (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, Revelation 13:16-17). It is written, for our warning, “The one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, … with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth … For this reason Yahveh God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth …” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). In these last days, it is grievously shocking how many believers in God and the Messiah are believing the devil’s rampage of lies and have fallen prey to his arsenal of deception, becoming politically correct rather than biblically righteous.
Many modern day “lukewarm” Christians look and act like the people of the world, because they have the same worldly desires and mindsets (see Revelation 3:16, James 1:8, 2 Timothy 2:26, 1 John 2:15-17, James 4:4). So many are “double minded” because they do not have a passionate love for Yahshua (Jesus) and uncompromised truth, and they are drawn away by the “progressive movement”, wanting to be “with it”, and to have a so called “open mind” (James 1:8). What they do not realize that to be “with it”, is to progress with the times, which is Satan’s movement to deceive multitudes to follow him rather than the Eternal Holy God, “the Ancient of Days” and His ancient words of biblical truth (Daniel 7:9-10). The deadly liability in having a so called “open mind” is to give the Enemy an open door by which to fill your mind with his thoughts, allowing his lies to dilute and pollute the truth. It is very dangerous to play church, yet to act like the people of the world and think that you are not going to be overcome by Satan’s deception. So many “progressive” Christians have joined the ranks of the multitudes, “calling good evil and evil good” because they “did not have a love for the truth and they have been given over to believe Satan’s lies” (Isaiah 5:20, see 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Yahshua (Jesus) is “the only way, truth, and life” and anyone who wants to follow Him must be led by the Holy Spirit on the path of righteousness and “not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness but instead even expose them … Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, … understand what the will of the Lord is” and lovingly obey it. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 14:6, Ephesians 5:11,15,17, John 8:32). Yahshua (Jesus) came to “destroy the works of the devil”, “the father of lies”, to deliver us from the powers of darkness, and to bring us into His kingdom of eternal light and righteousness (1 John 3:8, John 8:44).
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light” “for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth” (Romans 13:12, Ephesians 5:9). There is only a little daylight left, therefore, we must “redeem the time” for the days are perilous and so many souls are hanging over the precipice of eternity (Ephesians 5:16). Satan is raging, but we, by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, have the upper hand of victory. In the redemption of time, we must lay down our lives in sacrifice and service for the redemption of souls, to sow and reap a great harvest of righteousness for our Heavenly Father's eternal kingdom and glory.
Only those whose focus is heavenward and are wholeheartedly clinging to our God and Savior, will “stand firm” against the Enemy and his demonic legions who are raging with murderous hate against the redeemed children of Yahveh God (1 Corinthians 16:13). Satan is “the accuser of the brethren”, but “the called and chosen and faithful” will overcome his onslaught of vicious hostility and persecution by the blood of the Lamb [covering their convicted repentant hearts of all confessed sin] and because of the word of their testimony [to boldly and courageously proclaim the truth at any cost] and they did not love their life even when faced with death [even a martyr’s death]” (Revelation 12:10, 17:14,12:11). The righteous remnant will be clinging to Yahshua (Jesus) with all their heart. Through unwavering faith they will persevere with courage in loving obedience to the truth, motivated and encouraged by their Messiah’s words, “the one who endures to the end, will be saved” (Matthew 24:13).
