1st Person Calvinism

Google the phrase "ten common market" and see it for yourself. Also "common market nations" AND "beast". Here is  an example.  Here is another (even given it is an older (1988) expose of Pat Robertson). Here is another . Yet again. Okay, once more.

The evidence is there in spades. Watch Trinity Broadcasting Network at any time to see it real time, praying no words of anti-Christ enter you as you do.

What's the problem?

Over fifty years of a rather constant lie that arose after WWII (that Europe was (or would be) the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, specifically the prophecy through Daniel concerning the image of Nebuchadnezzar  and what nations represent the ten toes and the ten kings that arise at the end of days) has blinded not only those popularly perceived to be Christian  leaders as to the real threat of Islam, but those who follow them in government.

Everyone knows that the End Times Industry is just that: an industry to make money, as in filthy lucre. It is also a scare tactic based on the lie of free will. First anti-Christ through them warns of anti-Christ (as if some other than their own speech and spirit) as a beast in charge of a 'coming' superchurch, says that you have free will and can and must 'choose Jesus' in order to have insurance for the lake of fire, then shouts as a salesman selling his wares 'on sale' so you better get them while they last, (as if they actually exist) "Chose Jesus quickly! He's coming back any second". The one (the theology as lie)  is the stumbling stone, the other ( the intelligent desperation) is the hand that pushes the victim over the stone so that they fall and supposedly buy a particular name brand of Jesus so as to engage in vanity as well and become the next generation of salesman / false prophets.

All this is well known. You simply cannot live in America and have missed it.

The problem, quite besides that it is a lie of anti-Christ from the start and is based on the lie of free will, is when it skews governmental policy as implicit religious duty. Not only did the cold war focus the attention on Russia and Europe, but behind that cold war, there was an effort by anti-Christ to match up current perception of who and what the enemy is to biblical prophecy.

Mapping God’s Word as to superimpose prophecy on current events is as old as the Bible and as old as the on-going battle between the elect and non-elect. The real, literal new creation in Jesus Christ knows full and well that it is simply impossible to argue anyone into the kingdom of heaven. The only door is Christ Himself and you can only go through as being non-metaphorically born again in Him as Word of God as new creature. But those who are used of anti-Christ to imply no new birth is necessary, or that new birth is necessary but the way one is born is again is some great mystery, or that the old creature should just change its habits, are in constant need of supposed devices to at least appear to have been the stimulus of the behavioral change.

Very obviously those who say the will is free and one’s eternal salvation is predicated on the supposed use of that supposed free will must appear to have devices at hand to manipulate that will in the good way. Thus the supposed interpretation of prophecy superimposed on current events as supposedly getting insight from God as evidence of having already changed the will by the former use of the devices for sale.

The effect on government has been to put blinders on foreign policy that has become Eurocentric from the segment within government who are not born again at all, but are deceived they are Christians and must hold to the tenants of their false faith, meaning to ‘look out for’ the beast that is supposedly arising out of Europe. This spreads as it gets to be the common sense of the whole. God always acts, even in the heathen deceived they are His children, so as to make them seem to hold some particular brilliance as bringing unique gifts to the table as qualifications to be the governing as opposed to the governed. Thus, God deceives both the false Christian that they have, of their ‘own free will’, done anything good or ‘smart’ and deceives more honest God-haters that false Christians have a gift for governance.

While all of them are busy looking at Europe, which is steadily in decline, the fascism of the false religion of Islam is one hundred times the threat Europe could ever be at present. Yet because it is wrapped in the lie of a human choosible religion, (it is a neighbor, even if a stranger, in the lie of free will)  and because exactly such religion is under attack by fellow free willers of themselves such as atheists and more obvious pagans, the enemy that is Islam is not only tolerated but tacitly advanced by those who are deceived that ‘any religion is good’, and ‘the more religions to choose from the bigger the pot of emotional opportunity for us all’ are general unspoken axioms of advanced civilizations. Because such false (free willed) religion has a good name among those deceived free will exists as advancing the lie of pagan morality as the equal of Christian prosperity, and as a general defense of all religion as essentially equally true, Islam kills with (so far) impunity from prosecution but indeed is held up as ‘a’ way of enlightment by those whom it has targeted for death. (!) It is the Stockholm Syndrome of false religion among the non-regenerate.

So while the most dangerous enemy is given a wink, the non-existent enemy consumes the thoughts and energies of all the falsely religious as supposed piety and religious duty. Everyone is looking out for the ‘ten common market nations’ (that aren’t ten any more so as to explode the lie immediately) and the anti-Christ coming of out of an overtly pagan Europe while the real enemy, Islam, is winked at and grows worldwide as a form of fascism worse than Nazi Germany.

It must be understood that those who are deceived in whatever deception they may be bound, in no way can change their outlook. There is no free will. If you are waiting for those who spout lies as interpreting prophecy to say “You know, everything I have ever said concerning God is a lie. I was deceived.” minus outright new birth (which they say they have already undergone)  you are deceived. It would mean the end of their whole false religion which is their livelihood.

My grandfather, a Presbyterian minister said this of those very persons: “They said all along that the return of Israel was a myth, that it was only a metaphor for the Church. Then Bam! nineteen forty nine. Had to rearrange their whole theology. And they went right on as if they had never been caught at lying.” He would laugh.

But my Dad, his son, bought into their lies in the face of that witness. He is a retired Presbyterian pastor of the PCA. The rot has crept even into the old mainline denominations from the fringes of the Charismatics. So the very large part of the visible Church slumbers while anti-Christ eats them from within and without. They mean well. They are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are very polished and have that shine peculiar to the religiously deceived. On a certain level, they are the best people you will ever meet. Their best honesty is a lie. Watching carefully for their intentions as given away by body language, or affected speech won’t work to discern the truth. (you must be born again.) They are exactly as the Islamics: deceived that being deceived excuses them and that if they are in an environment in which no one says free will is a lie then it isn’t and they are 'free' and indeed 'responsible' to 'interpret God's Word for the other people'.

It has never been a weakness of Truth to cut off from around it the opportunity of lies to kill. It is very plain the deceptions of those in political office and Church office very openly are the most dangerous enemy of any free people and indeed constitute the limitations of their freedom amongst each other as regards this temporal plane as God holding them in that limitation and deception.

But God has very plainly exposed false religion as false religion. His plainly spoken and written Word very plainly is no excuse whatsoever for any to hide in ignorance or for anti-Christ to reign supreme as pop Christianity. That pop Christianity has enemies who will of course seize any pretext or opportunity to attack it as if really attacking and doing away with Christianity only demonstrates their own encapsulation in non-creating speech and vanity.

While it is true that God has said:

Hab 2:13  Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

It is also true:

1 John 5:20  And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

So that:

Proverbs 9:10  The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy is intelligence.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
