Great Controversy: A temcat study
3:
Satan's Counsel of War
Note: for those of you who think I’m just writing a
bunch of meaningless information about evil—bear
with me—be
assured this is a spiritual discourse and very pertinent points will be
made in further sections based on these facts. I have skimmed through
them lightly as many of you are knowledgeable in these things.
The Old
Testament Hebrew word for evil is ra’ from the root word ra’a meaning to
spoil by breaking into pieces. The Hebrew word for darkness is cho-shek’
meaning figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow and
wickedness.
Satan’s
purpose for us all is to break us up and keep us in cho-shek; He does it to
families, nations, as well as individuals. Jesus’ purpose is to give us light,
freedom and to make us whole again. Meditate on these aims.
Satan’s strategy
to bring in the New World Order: 1776 and onward.
If you have a US 1$ bill, then take
a good look at the side with the pyramid on it; there is much to be learned
there. This picture is not an accident; it is the symbol of the Illuminati and
it has their motto on it; “Novus Ordo Seclorum”. (“New World Order”) On
the same side opposite is the famous American eagle of the Great Seal. The
pyramid is the other side of the great seal of the USA.
This
Pyramid is unfinished with the capstone above it containing the ‘All seeing
eye’ of the god Horus in it. (Notice that this is a left eye; Zechariah 11:17 “Woe
to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm,
and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall
be utterly darkened.”)
Now
tell me, if there is no such thing as a conspiracy to bring in a one-world
government, a ‘New World Order’; and no such thing as the Illuminati, how
did their symbol end up on the other side of the Great Seal of America in 1776? I’ll tell you how; some of the founding fathers were members of the Luciferian Illuminati and it was their purpose to use the USA to eventually
bring in the New World Order they for generations had been working towards.
TOWER OF BABEL
Solomon
said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” The idea of a one-world
government is not ‘New’ at all. You see Satan’s form of government is
force and domination and mind control, a hierarchical, layered system with a
powerful force at the top controlled by him, and all the underneath layers
controlled by the one above them. The bottom layer people are hopeless slaves
indeed. This is a great system for Satan, as all he has to do is control the top
and he has the whole thing.
He
loves this system and he had it pretty well set up before the flood, but God
washed it away. After the flood, he rapidly tried to put it in place again. The
tower of Babel was a sophisticated attempt to set up a tyrannical one-world
government, which would defy God and stamp out all righteousness. God frustrated
his plans then; and he has been striving and struggling ever since to put back
together what God scattered at that time. Frustrating conspiracy is easy for
God.
THE MYSTERY
RELIGION
There
is also a very important aspect to this scenario; there are two levels of
religion in Satan’s system. One is what the lower levels are taught, designed
to make them easier to control and to keep them in bondage of fear to the higher
up ones in the hierarchy. It consists of many duties and donations they must
make and unquestioning obedience to the leaders of the system, on pain of not
only death, but also their eternal existence. (Being thrown out of the
synagogue) The Bible isn’t fooling when it talks about merchandising the souls
of men.
The
other level is known as the ‘Mysteries’ or the ‘Mystery Religion’; this
is what the leadership believe and practice, and it is very different from what
they teach the lower levels. It was born before the flood and recreated by
Nimrod and his wife. What is it? Plain and simply it is the worship of Lucifer,
and various rites and ceremonies and Magic and all that occult, devil stuff.
There are even layers to it though, the lower ones think it is ‘magic’ and
‘controlling the forces of nature’ and so on, but the top ones have known
who they worship; the fallen cherub, Lucifer.
So
why do they want to worship him? They believe he will win in the great
controversy. They know about the great controversy and God and His law and all
that, but they are deceived just like the fallen angels were deceived, they hate
God and all that is good, just like their master does and they willingly help
him with his plans because they are promised a high position in Satan’s coming
kingdom and they believe Satan can give them eternal life. They willingly help
him to deceive and mislead people and take pride in the ‘wisdom’ of their
evil ‘master’. They love power and riches and Satan gives it to them, for a
price.
These
people know magic is just Satan and his angels. They know man is mortal. They
know the dead don’t come back as spirits. They know about the Sabbath and
creation. But they believe Satan will win, and God will allow him to have this
planet forever, then Satan will resurrect all his followers and they will party
on for eternity as it were. They believe that to serve Satan and help him bring
in his kingdom is a good thing for all mankind. Some of them are insanely evil
like their master, others are just deceived.
There’s a big flaw though—Satan has no life in himself and can’t
resurrect anyone.
Down
through the centuries the Mystery Religions wound their serpentine course; they
were in Egypt, Babylon, and all Paganism. The Jews brought it from Babylon at the
time of the captivity and it became the Kabala in their culture. Greek
philosophy and the Kabalistic teachings so confused the Jews that they failed to
recognize their own Messiah and assisted Satan to torture and kill Him.
It
crawled back into the early Christian congregation though Gnosticism and as such
helped give birth to the Papacy. The Papacy is largely based on the Mystery
Religions and high up in its power structure are members of the elite Luciferian
Illuminati. Largely they are
opposing systems but at the top—all tails are tied together and the Dragon
holds the string.
In
the Middle Ages there was a group of knights who became famous for guiding and
guarding pilgrims to the holy land in the ‘Crusades’—they became know as
the Knights of the Temple or ‘Templar’. They became very rich and either got
connected with the Mystery Religion of Luciferianism or resurrected it somehow.
They realized that the way to control the world was to control the finances.
It
is not in the scope of this article to cover all the history of what we now know
as the Illuminati, but today it exists as several extremely rich and powerful
families who are Elite spirit worshippers and control much of the world’s
finances. They were the ones who put that symbol on the Great Seal. They
financed the American Revolution. (And lots of others also) Their purpose has
been to gradually bring in their master’s dream—One World Government—with
them at the top, of course. The broken tower of Babel is used as their symbol—the unfinished pyramid has the same meaning.
It
isn’t so important to try and figure out these deluded people and worry about
what they are doing; we can through inspired counsel look beyond and see the
‘spiritual wickedness in high places’. These people and their followers are
Satan’s poor, deluded dupes; assisting him to battle against the very One Who
died to save them; seeking to destroy the Life-Giver of the universe. It is easy
to understand them when you study what we are shown of Satan’s plans and
goals.
There
is something that it is important to know about however, and this is some of the
strategy they have been carrying out to bring about Satan’s goal of his
kingdom and to destroy all righteousness and truth from the earth to do it. If
you believe the Bible and love the Lord, then you must take very seriously what
Satan is using to undermine and tear down all that God stands for in this earth.
It is nothing to be indifferent about. There is no neutral ground in the Great
Controversy—Especially now in the ‘home stretch’.
ARE WE PLAYING
RIGHT INTO THE ENEMIES HANDS?
Christianity under
attack from the foundation:
The
people who founded the nations of North America were strongly Protestant
Christian in belief and values as well as in practice. They had broken away from
the despotism and tyranny of the adulterous church/state combination that was
the beast power and they wanted a country without a king and a church without a
pope.
It
was the practical down to earth, hard working protestant values that built these
nations here in North America. Any power seeking to reverse this could certainly
not do so by attacking it directly. The early Americans and Canadians knew their
history; they knew about the Roman power and the cruelty of state churches. They
also knew the Bible and although some of the ‘wine of Babylon’ still clung
to them, as they were not many steps out of popery, they knew enough to tell the
difference between Truth and Tyranny.
Family life:
The
strong family loyalty and ties that were present in Protestant Christianity were
a mighty bulwark against the encroachment of Papal error and also the occult.
Children who learned to read from the Authorized Bible had a foundation in their
lives that repelled evil like a duck repels water. Children were taught from
babyhood to abhor popery and tyranny and they learned history in detail.
Also
the hard, backbreaking work of pioneer America was a factor that kept the
agriculturally-based society anchored in stout realism. The people, who earn
their livelihood by the sweat of the face, as the Bible says, are kept from a
lot of the foolish vanity that the idle and rich get themselves into. Most evil
in this world has come from the idle and sophisticated class rather than the
manual-laboring people. Even in Jesus days on earth, the Common people heard Him
gladly, but the rich and power-hungry ones despised him.
To
bring America into a state where she would do the bidding of Satan and lead the
world back into popery and away from Christianity, the strong family bulwarks
would have to be breached, and these powerful Bible based ethics would have to
be undermined.
There
were some weak spots in the armor right from the beginning:
-
Most Protestants had
accepted the Papal/Pagan teaching of an immortal soul and eternally burning
hell.
-
Most still practiced
Sunday sacredness.
-
Many failed to learn
from their persecuted pasts and were willing to persecute others.
-
Use of Alcohol was a
very prominent factor in the young country of the USA, although not accepted by
most Christians.
So
from this, Satan could find a foothold to begin his task of digging the
foundation out from under Protestant America. Already in the late 1700s, he had
his schemes laid down and sought out people he could use to bring them about.
Satan knew from prophecy that there was about to be an industrial revolution, in
fact he probably helped it along. The lives of people were going to be changing
from the agriculturally based to more city and industrial based occupations.
SATAN’S WEAPONS:
for the Job
His
plans included:
1: Getting people to believe that he and his angels were only superstitious
myths.
2: Destroy the Bible without burning it; by casting doubt on its accuracy
3: Bring back in the old witchcraft and magic practices under the name of
science
4: Destroy man’s belief in Creation
5: Get people back to the Greek idea of worshipping man and education
6: Get people consorting with demons in the name of science
7: Work to heal the ‘deadly wound’ of his masterpiece, the Papacy
8: Change and destroy records of history that would warn people away from
his follies
If
you study 18th and 19th century history, you will see that
he moved right along in these schemes. Mesmer and his Mesmerism were heralded as
a great scientific breakthrough. People began to study and lecture on what was
really only old time witchcraft but now was called ‘science’. Other ‘mind
sciences’ and theories followed and people seeking to manipulate other
people’s minds played right into the hands of the master manipulator.
Jesuit
implants appeared in the universities of Great Britain and elsewhere and began
to undermine belief in the Bible and to encourage ceremonialism and ritualism.
Right in the heart of these very universities sprang up societies to investigate
psychic phenomenon as if it were a science and scholars consorted with demons
and thought it was wonderful new knowledge.
Sports,
formerly the pastimes of the idle rich, came into the schools and encouraged
values that were the very antithesis of Biblical religion.
Then
Darwin and Huxley presented to the world Satan’s creation story—evolution.
People not having the biblical Sabbath to remind them of Creation accepted the
‘new’ scientific theory and the Bible stepped back another pace in man’s
estimation.
Then
came the first ‘revision’ of the Bible, which brought in more confusion and
doubt and began a big step towards Rome.
This
is just a few of the many concerted attacks Satan carried out in the 17 and
1800s. There were others also. He studied prophecy and knew that a movement was
to begin around 1844 that God was going to seek to bring back to the purity of
truth. He also knew they would be given the Spirit of Prophecy. So before and
around that time he started many fanatical and strange groups under various
‘prophets’ and mystics. He also encouraged fanatical groups, whose behavior
would disgust honest Christians and lead them to look upon any supposed
spiritual gift with suspicion.
COUNTERSTROKE:
But
right on schedule according to the prophecies, the Great Second Advent Movement
began and swept through the world. The attention of the masses was drawn back to
the scriptures and there was a great revival. But by working through the
falsehoods still held by the Protestant churches and the natural love for fun
and frolic found in the un-renewed, carnal heart, Satan lead the majority of the
churches to reject the revival to primitive godliness. It was at this time that
banqueting, feasts, bazaars and entertainments came to become a part of
Protestant church life where before these were frowned upon. They truly said,
“My Lord delayeth His coming”, and they began to eat and drink with the
drunken.
The
Great Disappointment came and the tiny purified group of ‘survivors’
searched the Word as for hid treasure. They found it. And at this time the
Spirit of Prophecy was given to the earnest group to guide their feet aright
amid the dangers of Satan’s many-faceted attacks.
Knowing
all this, can you still agree with those who today tell us, “We don’t need
the Spirit of Prophecy”? We needed it, and we need it desperately!
“…When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall
lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19 Friends, this is the Standard
of the Spirit raised up against the enemy. There are counsels and warnings there which if
heeded would close the door to every single deception of the enemy.
BELIEVE HIS
PROPHETS!
But
what did the people largely say? “Oh, it is too strict”; “Oh a little___
can’t hurt me”; “We don’t want to seem so odd to other people”; “Oh
these things don’t apply to us today, times have changed”.
For
sure times have changed! In the 1800s Satan was just revving his engines as it
were, he laid in place a lot of termites and landmines into the foundation of
practical Christianity; then he went into high gear!
1900 and On:
The
twentieth century came in with a time of new wealth and prosperity. Satan always
does best in good times and now as a greater percentage of people had more time
and money; entertainment, sports and vanity thrived. Theaters, amusement halls
and fictional novels proliferated and a new class of books came more plentifully
onto the market; fiction and novels for children.
Spiritualism
walked arm in arm with science now and with evolution and the ‘mind
sciences’ was welcomed even into Protestant Christian circles.
Educational
standards had moved away from the practical and back into the Greek
philosophical ideals.
Against
all these things the voice of God’s messenger cried aloud to warn the
faithful; few were warned.
