SPIRITUAL TREASON

Here we are Christians, again addressing a topic that is not in direct language in the scriptures.  While not in direct language it is in principle mentioned at length.  OK, we are talking about voting, about participation in the governments of this world. Should Christians vote and participate in politics ? 

 I have heard many lines of reasoning defending Christians who vote and involve themselves in politics.  I have heard the evidence against Christians in politics.  So we have a halting between two different opinions.  In the final analysis our own opinions are worthless and only GODS opinion will stand. 

We as Christians have been bought with a price, that price was the life of GODS son. 1 Corinthians 6:19,20  We do not belong to ourselves, GOD owns us, and we are spiritual slaves as Paul says. 1 Corinthians 7:22  We are to be representatives of GOD and Christ and the kingdom that GOD will bring to the earth in the future. We are ambassadors of the kingdom of GOD on earth.  2 Corinthians 5:20    An ambassador takes no part in politics of the kingdom or nation he is sent to.  There are spiritually only two kingdoms that exist, the kingdom of GOD (light) and the kingdom of Satan (darkness). 

 Gods kingdom is yet in heaven while Satans kingdom is on the earth, Satan is by the will of GOD , the god of this world, GOD gave it to Satan when Adam sinned.  Luke 4:6  John 12:31   John 14:30  John 16:11 1 John 5:19  Ephesians 2:2   Christ was sent into the world to qualify as a new king that GOD has appointed to bring GODS kingdom to earth at a future time. Until that time comes the church is GODS agent on earth representing HIS kingdom as lights that shine in the darkness .  All Christians owe their total and complete allegiance, loyalty and dedication to GOD and faithfully wait and watch for that kingdom to come. While Jesus was on Earth he was the light of the world, now he is gone and the church is now the light.  Matthew 5:14,15,16  John 9:5   John 8:12   Ephesians 5:8 

So these are the two kingdoms and Christians should know facts concerning both of them.  While we are the elect saints we are considered citizens of GODS kingdom now, Philippians 3:20  , now we are called the sons of GOD and heirs with Christ and when our ambassadorship is over we inherit the kingdom  of GOD on the earth.  If while given this high honor with its exceedingly great and precious promises, we participate in Satans government, Satans kingdom of darkness , in any way, not just voting, but this article concerns voting, this would be spiritual treason.  Ephesians 5:11   I am exposing in this article the fruitless works of darkness, so that you, a Christian, would not be involved in both kingdoms at the same time.  This GOD will not permit,  1 Corinthians 10:20,21,22   1 Corinthians 6:14,15,16   James 4:4   Christians that stop voting for evil do face the judgment of the carnal people that do vote.  They will be ostracized and accused of being unpatriotic or failing to be a good citizen of Satans kingdom of darkness.  To involve ourselves in any way with the kingdom of GODS enemy is spiritual treason.  If this is being done in ignorance by a Christian babe it can be forgiven when the babe comes to his senses and sincerely repents and asks GOD to forgive them.  If this treason is committed by a mature Christian that knew his masters will about fraternternization  with the enemy by willfully taking part in the enemy’s government the penalty is everlasting death, it is the unpardonable sin. This person has betrayed GODS kingdom by participating in Satans kingdom.  Make no mistake, voting in human governments is a betrayal of all that a Christian is to stand for, believe in and be totally loyal to. 

 The very kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan that GOD will destroy, you join in with it.  The dog returns to its own vomit and the sow that was washed to its wallowing in the mire.  Does this sound familiar ?  It would be far better for a person to have never known the way of righteousness then after knowing it turn from it. 2 Peter 2:21   For a Christian to do anything contrary to all the sound doctrine and beliefs of the church is either by ignorance or deliberate unrepentant behavior.   Christians, be honest with yourself before GOD and Christ.  If you are a voter in Satans kingdom you are in opposition to the kingdom of GOD.  

Let’s adjust a few scriptures to make them agree with the idea that Christians can vote in Satans kingdom.

Titus 3:1  be subject to the rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good and be sure that you vote.

Romans 13:1  Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities for there is no authority except that which is of GOD.  So get out and vote .

Matthew 6:33  Seek you first the kingdom of GOD and second the kingdom of Satan.

Colossians 1:13. For HE has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the son that HE loves but it’s OK if you still vote in the kingdom of darkness.

Acts 26:18   To open their eyes so that they may turn from the darkness to light and from the power of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in me and their vote in Satans kingdom of darkness.

John 12:46. I have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should remain in darkness unless of course they want to vote in the kingdom of darkness.

1 Peter 2:9  “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for GODS own possession, to proclaim the virtues of HIM who called you out of darkness into HIS marvelous light. But if you want to run into the darkness and vote for Satans rulers that’s OK too.” 

None of these verses say, go vote, they say to submit to the nations laws you happen to be in.  Romans 13:5  it’s a matter of conscience because of GODS love, because GODS love fulfills any law, Romans 3:10  therefore if you have GODS spirit you need not fear the earthly authorities.  1 Peter 2:13,14  submitting is not voting, Matthew 22:21  here Caesar represents any form of government and we are to render to government what government demands but not if it is our higher duty to obey GOD rather than men.  The entire reason we do this is in, 1 Timothy 2:1,2  “so that we can live tranquil and quiet lives in all GODLINESS and dignity.”  Nothing here says go vote.  

Many will say I am exaggerating or being unreasonable but they are only trying to make excuses for themselves.  They claim to be in the light but actually love the darkness. This is hypocrisy. 

The contrast between light and darkness is so very obvious.  There is to be no crossing back and forth between the two kingdoms, between light and darkness.  Voting is participating in the kingdom of darkness.  Satan sets up the evil rulers of this world under the control of one of his demons.  When you vote in Satans kingdom your voting for evil and your vote means nothing anyway because Satan places these fallen angels as he sees fit.  Satan will not consider your vote as a way of controlling his kingdom and GOD will not allow voting in HIS kingdom either.  Voting is a form of nothingness it is emptiness in either kingdom for the same reason; GOD has ultimate power and control of HIS kingdom and so does Satan over his kingdom and no one in either of these kingdoms has any say in it by the idea of voting.  People come up with the excuse to support their voting and taking part in politics by saying,  “while I am living here I must vote for the provision and protection of my family and friends, people I love, it is my civic responsibility”. Whatever happened to first and only going to GOD in prayer and make our petitions to HIM.  Philippians 4:6  1 Peter 5:7   People reason out things with a mind incapable of arriving at the correct answer,  Proverbs 3:5,6   Matthew 6:25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34 

Psalm 118:8,9   Satan wants you to trust in him but does GOD wants you to trust in Satan ?  What do you hope to accomplish by voting that GOD cannot accomplish for you ?  

When you became a Christian you became a slave, the property of GOD, this is what you agreed to, do you not know this ?   You entered a Covenant a holy agreement with GOD.  You were called out of the world spiritually, you citizenship is now in the heavens. You now have life everlasting in you.  Oh  that’s nice but I really want to go back into the darkness a cast my vote for one of Satans ministers.  This is not just about religion or churches, it’s about your entire complete life, in everything.  Colossians 3:17  1 Peter 2:5   James 1:17  Colossians 3:3  2 Corinthians 5:17  1 Peter 1:3,4,5   

There is the darkness of this world and the light of GOD and Christ.  We are to walk in the light but if you want to vote you must walk in darkness.  This is not a trivial matter, it is extremely serious.  

What would people think of you if you voted in Russian elections or in China or Iran, or  If you would be like IIhan Omar who prioritizes her loyalty to Somalia over the U.S.  Loyalty is important in any human endeavor and to be disloyal is considered to be unfaithful, treacherous or a traitor.  What are you if you enter a covenant with GOD to come out of the darkness of this Satanically controlled world but yet participate in its politics ?  If Jesus is your husband why do you go out on dates with the devil ?  

Every person anywhere in this world who is a politician or ruler of any kind is a child of the devil. President Trump says he is going to bring in a new golden age, GOD says that HE is going to bring in a new golden age, which age do you want ?  Perhaps you think you can have both, if so then you are spiritually blind.  This golden age and who offers it is a choice between two trees again; Matthew 7:18  human governments are evil fruit,  GODS government is good fruit.  1 John 5:19   Ephesians 2:2   Galatians 1:4   Colossians 1:13  1 John 2:15,16,17    James 4:4   Romans 12:2   Matthew 13:38   Voting is of this world and does not exist in the kingdom of GOD and voting is of the Devil.  

If you are a Christian you are engaged to Jesus , he is your husband you are his bride, you , like him, are not of this world and when he returns there will be a wedding supper to consummate your marriage .  This is your commitment that you made when you were baptized and received the Holy Spirit.  GOD and Christ will hold you to this covenant.  You are not to do anything that violates this covenant as that would be spiritual adultery.  GOD has a government that you as a Christian are to be loyal to and not to any other government.  Satan has a government and rules over the people in it, the children of the Devil, the children of disobedience.  All human governments are under Satanic control, Satan is the god of this world.  It makes no difference what form of government, they are all of Satan.  Christians are no longer part of Satan or his governments but have been called out of them all into GODS government, the kingdom of GOD.  GOD has appointed Jesus as king of the kingdom of GOD and he and his FATHER rule over us. Taking part in any of Satans governments is not wanting Christ as your only king.  This is the same as Israel wanting a human king instead of GOD  being their king.  Israel, in their covenant, swore absolute obedience to GOD but broke the covenant by rejecting GOD as their king.  You do the same thing when you vote, you want men to rule over you instead of Christ.  You cannot have it both ways you cannot serve both GOD and Satan.  If you are a Christian you will be of GODS love and will do no harm to anyone and do not need human governments to dictate to us what good and evil is.  Romans 13:1-7 is not saying go vote, it says obey the laws of the nation you are in if they do not conflict with the will of GOD.  Christians are scattered to the four winds, in many different nations and while they differ they are still all of the Devil.  Things like homosexuality, abortion, transgenderism, pornography and prostitution also incest, beastiality and adult nude entertainment are not totally illegal in all 50 states.  Voters in the various states vote on all these issues and if you disapprove of these things but the majority approves, even those senators and congressmen you voted for, then the devil has won and you have to live with it.   If you understand that this world is evil and stay out of its political system and that the kingdom of light is yours then you know the Devil is going to lose.  All the nations will be ruled by GODS kingdom and if you stop voting and be loyal to GODS kingdom then you will be given rulership in HIS kingdom.   Did you know that there are over 30,000 federal laws on the books, do you know them all ?   GOD has two laws, love GOD and love neighbor.  As a Christian these two commandments are your constitution, your Declaration of Independence from this evil world controlled by Satan.  

THE ANCIENT CHRISTIANS - THE CHURCH BEFORE CHRIST

Below is a Psalm of David, Psalm 51.  In this Psalm there is proof about the Holy Spirit of GOD indwelling David.  King David was a Christian, one of GOD elect saints.  In this Psalm David is expressing sincere repentance over his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and murder of her husband Uriah the Hittite.  Both of these sins under the law required death.  GOD forgave David.  

 In thy loving kindness Lord be merciful to me,

In compassion great blot out all iniquity,

Wash me thoroughly from sin from all guilt cleanse thou me, 

For transgressions I confess sins I ever see.

Gainst Thee only have I sinned done evil in Thy sight,

That Thou speaking may be just and in judging right,

My iniquities blot out my sins hide from Thy view,

And in me a clean heart make spirit right renew.

From Thy gracious presence Lord O cast me not away,

And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me I pray.

Joy which Thy salvation brings again to me restore,

With Thy spirit free do Thou keep me evermore.

Sacrifice dost Thou no want else would I give it Thee,

And with offering shalt Thou not delighted be.

For a broken spirit is to GOD a sacrifice,

And a broken contrite heart Thou wilt not despise.

 Have you ever sinned against GOD ?  Did you ever feel the way David did ?  There is no doubt that David did indeed have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of GOD.  GOD called David a man after HIS own heart.  Acts 13:22

David in this Psalm is an example to us of GODS mercy and forgiveness.  

David’s repentance was genuine and sincere.  

GOD knows all people; past, present and future better than they know themselves.  A converted person with GODS spirit has been predestined before time began; Romans 8:29   Ephesians 1:4   2 Timothy 1:9   Revelation 13:8   Daniel 12:1   Matthew 25:34   Exodus 32:32-33   Psalm 69:28

It is interesting to note that at the return of Christ only two human beings are cast into the lake of fire and all others are either assigned to the millennium or second resurrection.  GODS saints at this time are all in glory, spirit beings immortal and impeccable.  

Anyone that was given the Holy Spirit in this age before Christs return and blasphemes the spirit will not ever be resurrected and will remain dead forever.  The antichrist and false prophet must have had the Holy Spirit and blasphemed the spirit to be cast into the lake of fire, the second death, but note, they are the only two that are so this means no others will be until the great white throne judgment.  

Ignorant people who have no spiritual understanding say David was not a Christian and somehow take offense at this fact.  Hebrews 11 gives the names of many people who lived long before Jesus and it says plainly that these ancient Christians will be in the same resurrection as the modern day Christians.  Hebrews 11:39-40  We have the same faith as Abraham and all the ancient saints.  The ancient Christians knew the same gospel we do.  Galatians 3:8    

It is the height of arrogance to say that all these ancient saints were not Christians.  

THE CORE OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE

 

Search the scriptures for in them you think you have everlasting life but these are they that testify of me. John 5:39

If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood you have no life in you.  John 6:53

This mortal must put on immortality.  1 Corinthians 15:53

There is a spirit body that is imperishable and immortal that we receive in the first resurrection and then we will be alive again.

 1 Corinthians 15:42   “So it will be in the resurrection of the dead. What is sown perishable is raised imperishable.  It is sown in dishonor, raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, raised in power.  It is sown a natural body and is raised a spiritual body.”

The wages of sin is death but gift of God is everlasting life.  Romans 6:23

 This is the promise he has promised us everlasting life.  1 John 2:25

“Salvation ready to be revealed on the last day.”  1Peter 1:5  

The last day is when Jesus returns. “ and I will raise him up at the last day”  John 6:44

“In the hope of everlasting life which God who does not lie promised before the beginning of time.”  Titus 1:2   

To be alive again is a hope, a promise, not a present reality and happens at the return of Jesus.

Everyone who sees the son and believes in him will have everlasting life and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:40

Hebrews 9:15 that those who are called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance.

Daniel 12:2 many that sleep in the dust shall awake, some to everlasting life…..  See John 5:28-29   Isaiah 26:19   1 Corinthians 15:52-53  Matthew 24:31 Luke 20:35-36  1 John 3:2   Philippians 3:20-21. 1 Thessalonians 4:16   Job 14:14-15   Acts 24:15   John 6:39-40  everlasting life is not given until the last day

1 Peter 5:4   John 14:2-3   2 Timothy 4:8  James 1:12 

Hebrews 9:28   John 3:16  Psalm 17:15

Salvation is receiving immortality, to live forever, and it is a hope, a promise, a gift, dependent upon faith and obedience to GOD and submitting to GOD and HIS love working in us.  If this everlasting life is a hope, a gift or promise then we don’t have it now but are to receive it when Jesus returns, at the last day, when he appears a second time, when we see him as he is.  

1 Timothy 6:16-17  “who only has immortality and dwells in the light light which no man can approach unto.”

 Psalm 13:3 the sleep of death

John 11:11-13  Lazarus was asleep 

1 Thessalonians 4:23-14  those who have fallen asleep 

Daniel 12:2  many who sleep in the dust

Ephesians 5:14  Awake thou that sleep, arise from the dead.

Deuteronomy 31:16  Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers.

2 Samuel 7:12  and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers.

1 Kings 2:10  David slept with his fathers.

1 Kings 11:43  Solomon slept with his fathers.

Job 7:21  Now shall I sleep in the dust.

Psalm 90:5  You carry them away as with a flood, they are as a sleep.

Matthew 27:52 bodies of the saints which slept arose. Which proves there were saints, Christians, before Christ.

John 11:24  I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 

Scripture compares sleep with death because a sleeping person resembles the dead.  Some people will sleep a perpetual sleep and never awake. Jeremiah 51:39   Jeremiah 51:57   Psalm 76:5

When you sleep you are unconscious and unaware as is death and with death the only thing that can awake you is to be raised from the dead and only then are you alive and conscious again.  

Christians that have died have fallen asleep in Christ, who was the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep, and unconsciously await the resurrection when Jesus returns.  At the return of Jesus a small remnant of the elect haven’t fallen asleep but are alive and remain and are changed from flesh to spirit. 

This information I give you here is the truth of GOD about life and death and the condition of each state. I give many scriptures proving that Christians who have died are like being asleep, totally unconscious.  They rise from the sleep of death by a resurrection of the dead when Christ returns and not before.  Jesus died the same death as all humans do.  Jesus was human. GOD created all life after their own kind and all human are the human kind with a human spirit in a mortal body and Jesus was exactly like us in this way ,  Hebrews 2:17 , but unlike us Jesus was totally filled with the spirit of GOD , the saints have only a portion of GODS spirit.  Jesus was created by GOD to be the messiah and is the only human who was created this way.  After all the proof given above Jesus died , lost consciousness for 3 days and 3 nights then his human spirit was placed back into his body by GOD and he was alive again.  All of this information is foundational, a truth for the ages. If you read some modern translation that seems to say anything against this truth it is a mistranslation, a lie.  If you still believe anything contradicting this truth then you are deceived.  You have resorted to paganism and fables.

In Ezekiel 37:1-28  is the account of the valley of dry bones. Take note the question GOD asks Ezekiel in verse 3, “can these bones live ?”  Then verse 5, “I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.”   Verse 9, “breath into these slain so that they may live.”  This is describing the resurrection of the house of Israel in the second resurrection.  1 Samuel 2:6   Deuteronomy 32:39   Romans 4:17   Job 33:4   John 5:25   John 5:21   Genesis 2:7   Job 33:4   Job 27:3   Psalm 104:29   Psalm 146:4   

The breath of life is our human spirit and when combined with the body is call a living soul.  A soul is the complete whole person, not a third part, there is no third part.  Jesus had to breath to live else he would be dead. This was the breath of life in Jesus, the human spirit.  Jesus did indeed have a human spirit because it is what makes us all human.

Here is an analogy; a flashlight with batteries in it can function but if the batteries are removed they can do nothing and neither can the flashlight. The batteries are your human spirit, your body is the flashlight. It is the batteries that cause the flashlight to work but they must have a flashlight in order to work.  Your human spirit and body operate in the same way.  A disembodied spirit cannot do anything because it needs a body to operate in. How can a disembodied spirit see, hear, feel, taste, talk or smell when all these things are rotting to dust ?  In the resurrection we are a disembodied spirit placed into a spirit body that is then immortal.  Our hope as Christians is this resurrection where we will live again.  Any teaching or belief that doesn’t agree with this truth is a lie.  This lie destroys the gospel message about what salvation is.  I have shown plainly from the scriptures that death is unconsciousness, no life by any definition you care to use.  To live again is a hope, a gift, a promise and not a present reality until Christ returns, appears a second time, on the last day when we see him as he is.  This is the core of the gospel message.  

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON ON THE COMMUNIST CONTROL ACT OF 1954

Conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson highlights the Communist Control Act of 1954 to critique modern progressive movements, arguing that historic legal frameworks against subversion reflect a long-standing American precedent of protecting democratic institutions from extremist ideologies. 

  Historical Precedent: 

Hanson notes that the Communist Control Act of 1954 was a bipartisan, federal anti-subversive law signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It explicitly stripped the Communist Party USA of its legal rights and privileges, declaring it an instrument of a conspiracy rather than a legitimate political party.  

Relevance to Current Politics: Hanson uses the existence of the Act to validate modern conservative pushes against "socialist" or "communist" platforms in local elections. He maintains that the naive adoption of far-left ideologies destroys foundational democratic liberties and economic stability.  

 Institutional Infiltration: He frequently draws parallels between the Cold War era and modern politics, claiming that elements on the far-left are employing incremental strategies to infiltrate major institutions—such as media, academia, and local government—similar to the subversions the 1954 Act originally sought to block. 

 

Context and Broader Political Debate

Hanson's references to the Act align with a broader surge in conservative discourse where grassroots voters and politicians cite the 1954 law. For example, conservative groups have called to invoke the Act against far-left or democratic socialist figures—such as candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)—arguing their platforms undermine the U.S. Constitution.

 Conversely, critics and progressive analysts counter that resurrecting Cold War-era rhetoric is a political strategy designed to brand popular left-leaning policies, like universal healthcare or environmental protections, as "subversive" or dangerous.

 

DOES GODS TRUTH - HIS DOCTRINES PUT HIM IN A BOX ?

 

There are people that view the doctrine of the resurrection as putting GOD in a box.  They continue on to say that GOD made a donkey talk, allowed HIS son and Peter to walk on water and that there are people who have perished from the earth to suffer until the last days before the final judgment, that he says this means these suffering must be alive in order to suffer.  

The first two reasons given have nothing to do with the idea of what happens in death.  The last one seems to be referenced to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.  Jesus told his disciples that he would only speak in parables to those who it was not given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD.  Matthew 13:10-17  Mark 4:33-34  Therefore Lazarus and the rich man is a parable and cannot be taken literally.  

The actual meaning is hidden from these people who try to use it to prove immediate life after death.  GOD gives us HIS doctrine, HE teaches HIS doctrine to HIS saints and this doctrine never changes.  Hebrews 6:2 states the resurrection is doctrine. How would it be if GOD would change HIS doctrine in the course of HIS plan for humanity?    

The truth of GOD is called sound doctrine, 1 Timothy 4:16  Romans 16:17  GODS doctrine does not put HIM in a box.  How can GOD, who establishes doctrine put HIMSELF in a box ?  How do HIS elect saints who believe HIS doctrine put GOD in a Box ? 

These peoples belief in immediate life after death violates the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead and they put themselves in a box, the huge box of deception.  It scrambles the meaning of life and death by attempting to combine the two.  These people are described in 2 Timothy 4:3   Romans 16:17-18  These people say GOD can do anything HE wants to so instant life after death cannot be ruled out.  These people are correct, GOD can do anything HE wants to and HE has, HE has 2 resurrections of the dead that are HIS established doctrine recorded in scripture. 

  The resurrection is an important part of the gospel. These people look at certain scriptures and see in them that which is a lie.  It is very plain in the scriptures that the only way anyone will ever live again is by a resurrection from the dead at the return of Christ. This idea of immediate life after death is a different gospel.  Galatians 1:8   

These types of people will not receive the truth because their deception is too great.

 

ORIGIN OF PRETERISM

  The preterist view began within the Roman Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation as a way to defend the papacy against Protestant claims that the Pope was the Antichrist. 

 Jesuit scholars Luis de Alcasar and Francisco Ribera developed the rival preterist and futurist schools of interpretation in the 16th century to counter the common Protestant historicist view, which identified the papacy with the Antichrist. 

 Preterism's main premise is that most, if not all, biblical prophecies, particularly those in the Book of Daniel and Revelation, and Jesus' predictions in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24), have already been fulfilled, primarily in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. 

They also claim the book of Revelation was written in 67 AD and that the Apostle John was on Patmos before at that time.  History records that John was banished to Patmos by Emperor Domitian in around 95 to 96 AD.  The Emperor Nerva is credited with Johns release from Patmos when he issued a decree to release political exiles and was the only Emperor to to release exiles in mass numbers. 

 The Jesuit focus on Preterism aimed to deflect the Protestant claims about the Pope by suggesting that the Antichrist was a figure of the past (Nero) rather than a contemporary one. That the abomination of desolation was Roman soldiers on the Temple Mount.  That the great tribulation was the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD.  The Historical interpretation, favored by many Protestants,   saw these prophecies unfolding throughout history, with the Papacy being identified as the Antichrist or the beast of Revelation.

Nero is said to be the 6th emperor of Rome and a numerical formula was developed to assign 666 to Nero in an attempt to identify him as the antichrist when in fact Servius Galba was the sixth emperor and reigned only for seven months.

 Augustus or Octavianus was the first emperor.  Julius Caesar was not the first emperor of Rome and in his time a Roman Triumvirate ruled the republic.  The republic was replaced by emperors in 27 BC.  

Nero's persecution against Christians began around 64 and lasted until his death by suicide in 68 AD 

During the Counter-Reformation in the 16th century, Preterism was indeed championed by Jesuit scholars,

like Luis de Alcasar. It emerged as a response to the Historical interpretation of prophecy prevalent among Protestants who identified the Papacy with the Antichrist.

 

However, it's important to note that the idea of an Antichrist who had already appeared (or a future one) existed in some form among early church fathers before the Reformation. 

 

 1 John 2:18 "Children, this is the last hour and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is that last hour."

 

Matthew 24:24  Jesus warned about false messiahs and false prophets.  The one John singled out, who was coming, was for the antichrist called the beast in Revelation 13, that is a nations leader that rises up out of the sea of humanity that long ago was a nation but completely disappeared only to rise again in the latter days.  The beast that was is not but yet is.

Paul said, “He will oppose and exalts himself above all that is called GOD or that is worshipped so that he sits as GOD in the temple of GOD showing himself that he is GOD.”  2 Thessalonians 2:4 

Notice this man of sin, this antichrist, sits IN THE TEMPLE.  If the temple was destroyed in 70 AD, as preterists claim, then it would be impossible for The antichrist to SIT IN THE TEMPLE as Paul prophesied. 

I would encourage all my readers to look up the information I have presented to see the history and origin of Preterism.  There are two types of Preterism , full, which believes all prophecy has been fulfilled and partial which believes only parts have been fulfilled. Both are false.

THE END OF THE REPUBLIC

 

I have been doing a lot reading on line and watching TV News reports about the current war with Iran.  Conservative media outlets are reporting very optimistically while the main stream media pessimistically about the war.  The truth lies somewhere in between these reports.  President Trump said that Irans navy has been destroyed when apparently it has not, he said after the previous operation midnight hammer that Irans ability to make a nuclear weapon was ended when apparently it was not.  The efforts by the left to end the war met with failure and was only done as a political stunt because to end a war after it has already begun is a stupid thing to do.  I see the leftist democrats putting their party ahead of the nation in their lust for power.

  We have witnessed many of their actions along this line to be anti American and out of step with the majority of Americans.  An example of this is the legislation to require voter ID.  According to public opinion 80% are in favor of voter ID but the democrats are against it.  I saw a recent poll where 38% of the public wants to have a socialist government and do away with the republic.  That’s more than a third of the public wants to have a form of government that historically has been proven to be a failure. 

 The voting public is growing more ignorant and unable to make wise choices and this is a serious threat to the survival of the American representative republic.  About half of voters do not understand our history and the issues we face.  An ignorant voter is a fool and a danger to the nation.  The nation also faces voter fraud and illegals voting as the chief tools used by the democrats to gain power and control at the expense of the republic.  The congress and Supreme Court have been infiltrated by people with this mindset.  If these types ever regain power it will be the end of the republic.

While I am apolitical and my citizenship is registered in heaven and not on earth, as I sojourn in the U.S. as an ambassador of the kingdom of GOD, I have desired to live in peace and safety among the unconverted.  To see what is transpiring now is in one way disturbing but in another encouraging. Disturbing because this nation is where I sojourn and I do not want the chaos I see but this encourages me because these are the very circumstances and conditions that are to exist in the world prior to the return of Jesus Christ.  

BAPTIZED INTO SATAN

You and I do not make the rules with respect to baptism, GOD and Christ do.  Mark 16:16  Matthew 24:19 (do not include the FATHER and the Holy Spirit)  Acts 2:38 1 Peter 3:21  John 4:5  Acts 16:31-33  Galatians 3:26-27  Colossians 2:12  Titus 3:5  Acts 8:36-39  Acts 19:5   

People that teach baptism is no longer required are liars, it’s plain throughout scripture that baptism was the common practice even if a person had the Spirit before being baptized. Acts 10:47   When you are called out of a deception this is GOD calling you, many are called, but you must answer the call and this results in being chosen. Not many are chosen.

 For anyone who was a former member of some church organization that practices baptism I would ask why did you submit to that baptism ?  If you did not believe the teachings of the church that baptized you why would you submit to their baptism ?  If you have come to see that what this organization taught was false and a lie then were you not baptized into falsehoods and lies ?  Yes, you were, and that baptism was meaningless and worthless.  In reality you were baptized into Satans church but perhaps you did not fully grasp this and yet confuse your current new understanding with the false baptism you had.  

About 41 years ago I was baptized by full immersion in water by the Worldwide Church of God.  I believed the false teachings of this church being in full agreement with them and their teachings and I submitted myself to their baptism as a result. 

 About ten years later I came to realize by divine revelation from GOD through Jesus Christ that I was deceived and that the baptism into the WCG was into Satan and not into Christ.  I did not think that my new understanding was a result of Satans baptism but understood that it had nothing to do with that Satanic baptism.  If any of you readers have had a similar experience to mine then you were also baptized into Satan as I was and your new understanding by the spirit led you out of that deception to a new realization that YOU need to be baptized into Jesus Christ.

  Even the Jews of the first century on the day of Pentecost who were in the cult of Judaism were told by Peter that they needed baptized in Christ.  Gentiles formerly involved in paganism were told the same thing. 

 I don’t care what church cult you were in, YOU, once called out of it, must then be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, why, for the forgiveness of all your past sins to prepare you for the giving of the Holy Spirit.  Even Cornelius the gentile who first received the spirit before baptism was still baptized.

  “Those who have believed and are baptized shall be saved while others are condemned.”  Mark 16:16

 Baptism is a watery grave that symbolizes the death of our old self so that when we come up out of the water we are living sacrifices, baptism symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus. We who have been baptized into Jesus have put on Jesus and we are empowered to walk in newness of life by the spirit of the FATHER working in us to will and to do HIS good pleasure.  We are symbolically dead.

I know for certain that whatever baptism you had in any of Satans churches meant absolutely nothing.  Just as I was deceived when I joined the WCG so were you.  People who cannot see this are in denial of what they have experienced.  You cannot belong to a synagogue of Satan and the true church of the living GOD at the same time. You need to ask yourself some very serious questions and be honest in your answers.  If you still believe your baptism into Satans organization was valid then why are you not still there, why did you leave ?  Others say it is a matter of personal choice but how can that be if Jesus Christ commanded baptism. 

Not long ago I joined an online Christian forum called “Simply Christian” and I knew full well that the chances of finding another true Christian on this forum were slim to none.  I posted an article about baptism on the forum that explained the same things as this article does and it was as I expected, met with ridicule, disbelief, sarcasm and in some cases outright blasphemy.  This was the typical response I received from just about every article I posted on the forum.   This is to be expected but the goal is for us all to be of the same mind on all things.   This is not bashing anyone but being realistic about how spiritual growth and maturity works.  

We all need each other but the strong are to bear the weak as Paul explained.  This is spiritually natural, it’s how the spirit works. I do not write these words to offend anyone but to edify the brethren. Whatever it is that any of us is spiritually,  it is from GOD and not from us, therefore if any are more spiritual than another it is from GOD not from us.  In this way none of us can boast.

I have written about baptism in other articles on this blog that includes information not covered in this article that you need to read.  If anyone has come out of any of the Satanic churches of this world because GOD is calling and choosing you then you need to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.  

If you understood what I have written here but are unsure of what to do then go to GOD and ask for help.

IMPLIED POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT

 

The authority of the Supreme Court that extends beyond the explicitly listed powers of the constitution is implied powers. 

The implied powers are an assumption based upon what the court believes are reasonable, assumed and necessary to carry out what the constitution says.

The Supreme Court has overturned its own past constitutional precedents about 236 times since 1789, about 1% of its rulings. 

Some Examples of the court overturning its own rulings are:

Brown v Board of Education 

Robb’s v Jackson Women’s Health Organization 

Plessy v Ferguson 

Roe v Wade

Bowers v Hardwick

Abode v Detroit Board of Education 

Chevron USA Inc v Natural Resources Defense Council 

Miners School District v Gobitis 

There are over 200 more examples of the Supreme Court reversing its decisions but in each one there was always some collateral damage.  Even in such a small number of reversals is sufficient proof that human courts are far from perfect.  

In the examples of Roe vWade and Plessy v Ferguson many people born and unborn were innocent victims of a previous bad ruling.  

Today with the rise of Communism and Socialism the Communist Control Act, if attempted to be enforced, would be struck down by the court for violating first and fifth amendments. It is extremely ironic and moronic for the court to strike down the CCA, an act that prevents their own destruction by using the very constitution the Communists want to destroy. Does anyone believe that the founders of the nation would permit an anti constitutional political movement like communism and socialism, that has the goal of abolishing the constitution, to exist in the nation ?  Is that line of thought reasonable , assumed or necessary ?  It is apparent that the court either doesn’t recognize the threat of these communists or they are bound to the idea of implied powers thinking it is reasonable, assumed and necessary to allow communists to hold federal, state and local government offices.  

My father called people of this mindset educated idiots that can’t see the forest for the trees.  The Supreme Court is so tangled up in its thinking that it will rule in favor for a political ideology that would abolish them.  

Implied powers have the danger of making law from the bench but making law is the purview of congress not the court.  I have in other articles shown the illogical thinking of the justices in things like immigration, abortion, racism and the separation of powers.  

The practice of implied powers needs to be abolished and if there is any doubt as to what the founders prescribed for the nation in the constitution the Supreme Court must remain neutral and turn the matter over to congress to make or amend laws.

It is mind numbing to think that 9 unelected people can make decisions that effect us all.

THE GUARDIAN THAT LEADS US TO CHRIST GALATIANS 3:24-25

 

Many people are convinced that they must keep the Ten Commandments as given in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.  Well, when a person is a Christian the law written on those tables of stone no longer applies.  Jesus gave us a “New Covenant” and for us, who are Christians, made the old covenant, which is the Ten Commandments, obsolete, non applicable. Christians under grace experience a change in their human nature to partake of the divine nature of GOD and Christ.  This is a spiritual change of receiving GODS love into our human spirit.  Romans 5:5  2 Peter 1:4   The prophets say it this way, “I will write my law on their hearts”, which is describing this partaking of the divine nature. 

Scripture positivity identifies the Ten Commandments are the old covenant.  We’re they not kept in a box called the ark of the covenant ? 

 A person who places themselves under the old covenant is responsible to keep all of the law by their own effort and without GOD.  This old covenant, these Ten Commandments, cannot be added to or taken from so a new covenant was necessary.  Everyone who places themselves under the Ten Commandments is guilty of sin and sentenced to death.  No one has ever been able to keep the Ten Commandments.  Anyone who thinks they do is either self deceived or a liar.  The Devil wants people to think they must keep the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, because there is no salvation in the law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments. 

GRACE in Christ is what produces salvation.  Under the new covenant Christians have the Holy Spirit and a very special and powerful love, GODS love that will fulfill any law, will do no harm to anyone and therefore will fulfill what the Ten Commandments demanded of us that we could no do because we didn’t have GODS love under the Ten Commandments. 

 Scripture says “love is the fulfillment of the law.”  Romans 13:10 

The law was given by GOD to condemn the entire world of sin. 

 Romans 3:19 “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and THE WHOLE WORLD HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.” 

“The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of GOD.”  1 Corinthians 6:9 

Righteousness does not come by the law, keeping the Ten Commandments, else Jesus died for nothing. Galatians 2:21

So then, keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, will not provide us with the righteousness needed to be in GODS kingdom, and they cannot be fulfilled unless you have the Holy Spirit that imparts GODS love, then why try keeping them ?

Grace and faith , the new covenant, imputes GODS righteousness to us because we have faith to believe the gospel.  It is GODS righteousness by faith along with the sacrifice of Christ that is paramount to escape the condemnation of the Ten Commandments.  Christians fulfill the Ten Commandments by GODS love working in us to love GOD and our neighbor.  Christians have no works of their own because we know salvation is not by works.  The following scripture says this plainly.

Philippians 2:13 “For it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do HIS good pleasure.”

I hope all my readers can now see that while the Ten Commandments are indeed holy, just and good that the keeping of them will not provide you with salvation.  We are not saved (have salvation) by the law or works of the law, the Ten Commandments.  We are saved by grace through faith.  For what the law could not do GOD did by giving us HIS son, Jesus Christ. 

JUDAS ISCARIOT

What was the fate of Judas Iscariot ?  The majority of false Christianity says Judas is burning in hell and some think Judas committed the unpardonable sin.

To commit the unpardonable sin a person must have the Holy Spirit. 

 Hebrews 10:26-29 “If we willfully go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth no further sacrifice remains but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.  Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the son of GOD, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him and insulted the spirit of grace.”

Now the Apostles all thought Jesus would return in their lifetimes so then if the one who committed the unpardonable sin would be alive he would be cast into the lake of fire along with the beast and false prophet.  Since the second advent has not yet happened the people who commit the unpardonable sin in this age have no more sacrifice for sin and have lost all the benefits provided by Christ. These people will not be resurrected and their human spirits that went back to GOD at death will be cast into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment.

The fact is Judas never had the Holy Spirit because the spirit was not given until Pentecost.  Many people have had the Holy Spirit “work with them” but not yet in them and this is the time they are called. 

John 14:17  “The spirit of truth. The world cannot accept it because it neither sees or knows it.  But you know it for it lives with you and will be in you.”

While the Spirit lives with you, you are being called, then when the spirit is in you, you have been chosen.

This meshes well with the parable of the sower where the spirit is symbolized by seed being sown.  The seed fell on the ground but the birds came and ate it, some seed fell on rocky ground with little soil and when it grew the sun scorched them and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns which choked the seedlings. Some fell on good soil and produced a crop; a hundred fold, sixty fold and thirty fold.” Matthew 13:3-9

All but the seed that fell under bad conditions were called but not chosen, only the seed on the good soil was chosen.

Judas could no longer live with himself when he realized what he had done and hanged himself.  Judas will be in the second resurrection and have his opportunity to repent and he will have the Holy Spirit in him. 

 GOD knew in eternity that Judas, by his own free will and greed, would betray Jesus and when the time came used Judas for that purpose.  This is the same reason why GOD allows Satan to exist and uses Satan as a tool in HIS plan.  For humanity to choose between good and evil both choices must be presented.  

Judas Iscariot will have his opportunity and so will all people who have not committed the sin that will not be forgiven. 

HOW THE APOSTLES DEALT WITH HERESIES

 

How did the Apostles deal with heresies in the church ?  A heresy is a belief or teaching that goes against the doctrines of GOD, Christ, the prophets and the Apostles.

The Apostles were not concerned with controlling the people in the church but rather preserving the truth of the gospel.  There was a rising threat to the gospel in the first century. The Apostles show this fact in their letters to the churches and to church ministry at that time.  Persecution against the church was coming from Rome and the Jews.  There was the Judaizing heresy, the Gnostic heresy, the Docetism heresy, the Trinity heresy, those teaching the resurrection had already occurred, those given over to an assortment of sins, the ignorance concerning the resurrection, the focus placed on the men who baptized rather than on GOD and Christ and many more.  Today these and other heresies are what make up modern day Christianity.  Paul spoke fervently in his condemnation of heresies in Galatians, 

2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, 

2 Timothy, Romans and Titus. Peter warned about false teachers as did James and John. This was the first thing Jesus warned about in his Olivet discourse, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” Matthew 24:4

 Does GOD hate lies ?  Proverbs 12:22  Proverbs 6:16-19   Revelation 21:8  Yes HE does. 

 A lie from someone who has not been given the Holy Spirit is vastly different from a person who is thought to have the Holy Spirit.  A lie from someone Usually happens with a babe in Christ because mature elect saints have been in Christ longer and have been taught more.  Paul was not one to take it easy on people in the church who committed heresy.  I do not think the other Apostles did either.  A lie, a heresy, must be confronted head on otherwise it will not be solved and as Paul,said, “it will spread like a cancer.” 2 Timothy 2:17

 Trying to be gentle in combat usually gets you killed, so will not vigorously combating lies and heresies.  Go and read in Galatians or Corinthians how angry Paul was and the warnings of punishing the offenders saying “I will not spare”. 2 Corinthians 13:2

  Today the church has no Apostles or ministry because GOD eliminated them all.  The problem of lies and heresies are dealt with by GOD and Christ, not the elect.  Only GOD can put you in HIS church and only GOD can remove your from HIS church.  GOD will blot out the names of liars and heretics from the book of life.   I am not an Apostle, I am a new covenant prophet because I am taught by GOD through Jesus Christ by divine revelation. All of GODS elect saints today are taught in this way. GODS spirit bears witness with our human spirit that the elect saints are GODS children. Do a search of the scriptures about how a person comes to know and understand spiritual truth.  You will find there is only one way and that is for GOD to teach you. 

John 6:44-45 “everyone who has learned from the FATHER must come to me.” 

If this happens then your beliefs, your faith and knowledge is sure and true. You, unlike the world’s churches, were taught by GOD and not men. There can be no comparing these two things because neither has anything to do with the other.

  I have been described by some as wanting my own way, of being vindictive and overbearing when it comes to defending the truth of GOD.

  How do you think Jesus, Paul, Peter, James or John would react to a lying situation ?  Oh, they wouldn’t want to offend him, they would have to understand him better, they must show constraint and compassion, REALLY !!!  Then you do need to go back and read again just what would happen to someone who attempts to bring a lie into the church. 

 When Jesus rules in the kingdom of GOD he will do so with a rod of iron, not a wet noodle. If a person  has a problem with understanding a doctrine then they should in a loving and humble attitude express their concerns to the other mature brethren and in like manner the mature brethren give an answer, but the answer should not be interrupted by objections and attempts to prove a lie.

  This is part of the discerning of spirits in 1 John 4:1-6  A person must hear the mature saints not argue with them.  If they can’t understand the mature saints then they are not of GOD.

 1 John 4:6 “We are from GOD. Whoever knows GOD listens to us; whoever is not from GOD does not listen to us. That is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.”

OH, that’s being really to hard on this person, who do you think your are, this isn’t the gospel of Lee, this isn’t the church of Lee.  Do you know how many times I have heard that, too many, and each time I get really angry.  When all else fails to support their lie they resort to assassinating my character.  This is also a Satanic device.  

In 1 Corinthians 14:29-33. Paul explains how a church meeting should operate.  First, all those present are prophets, note women are not excluded, Paul says “for you all can prophesy in turn”.  Now as the prophets speak, if something is revealed to someone the first speaker should stop and all should hear that one out and determine if the prophesy is from GOD or not.  This is further verified in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21  1 John 4:1   This is how things are supposed to work in the church and it will play out almost precisely as Paul outlined in the scriptures.  

The resurrection is part of the core of the gospel.  That after having lived our lives being under GODS workmanship by surrendering ourselves to HIM, then even if we die we in faith believe that we will be raised, resurrected as spirit beings , from the dead, made alive and conscious again at the return of Jesus Christ.  The lie of immediate life after death destroys the message of the gospel.  To believe that even the willful sinners of Noah’s day have immediate life after death in some spiritual prison gives what is a gift of GOD to the saints only to willful sinners.  To confuse the prayers of saints, given before they were martyred, which are like incense to GOD, and to think the hearing of those prayers are the actual living people who prayed them is heresy. To believe that the transfiguration was literal rather than a vision is heresy.  To believe the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is literal is heresy.  To think Jesus did not die but somehow survived death and was yet alive is heresy.  To think that GOD periodically changes doctrine to allow for favoritism of some over others is heresy. To think that Jesus didn’t have a human spirit is heresy. The death Jesus saves us from is the second death not the first unto which all are appointed. Therefore when we die we are disembodied unconscious spirits awaiting a resurrection from the dead at the return of Jesus Christ.  This is the truth of the gospel, the hope, the promise, the faith and anything else is a lie.

AN INTERVIEW WITH LUCIFER

 

 

 

An Interview with Lucifer

Feb 27  Preston Gillham: Additional comments by Lee

  Last week I had the opportunity to interview the devil, Lucifer. He is also known as, Satan, Day Star, and king of Babylon. Here, in three parts, is a transcription of our conversation.

 Good evening, sir. I’m speaking with Lucifer from his branch headquarters close to downtown Fort Worth. He was kind to grant me access without restriction and gave permission to reproduce in full an unedited transcript of our conversation. Thank you for your generosity, sir.  Lucifer is currently king of this world and is seeking the office of GOD MOST HIGH.   He has been from the beginning of time a liar, deceiver, tempter, and accuser without parallel. It is generally agreed that he is the most handsome, beautiful creature ever created by GOD. By way of his charismatic personality, administrative prowess, and creative genius he has built an empire of great historical and worldwide influence founded under the title Hell, Inc. He now serves as the company’s President and Chairman with offices and viable concerns worldwide. 

 Q          Lucifer, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to visit with me. I don’t suppose there is anyone more qualified to discuss the topic of deceit and deception than you are. But before we begin our discussion of that topic, how did you get into this field?

A           Actually, it began as a limited vision on my part, but has escalated far beyond my wildest dreams. I began a small rebellion in heaven after I discovered that GOD was planning to make a human HIS heir.    As you noted, He holds the position I’m trying to usurp. When He got wind of my rebellion He removed me from my position as archangel and forced me to leave heaven along with all those sympathizing with my cause. I had no idea so many would follow my lead, but 33% joined in my rebellion.

Q          You mentioned your desire to attain the position and title of The most high GOD. Is that your fundamental goal?

A     My goal and primary aim, the cause of which I have dictated to my underlings, is this: To undermine the Kingdom of God and place myself in the supreme position in the universe. This will be done through intrigue and deceit of mankind, God’s highest creation.

Q     Why do you see mankind as your means to this exalted title? It would seem you’d war against God Himself.

A           No, no. God is much too strong and self-assured. Besides, hostile takeovers are out of fashion. We must resort to subterfuge of a more devious nature. His area of vulnerability lies within the heart of mankind. For whatever reason—He says its love—He put all of His relational hopes in one being and called it man. Stupidly, He gave man the freedom to choose between loving and serving Him or me. And amazingly, He has invested His kingdom in man’s decision. This is God’s “soft underbelly,” to quote one of your great men, Winston Churchill. This vulnerability is my target.

Q          Lucifer, while you are apparently enjoying great progress toward achieving your goal, there is still opposition to you and your schemes. God has invested His people with tremendous power—the keys to the Kingdom, He calls it. I would assume, therefore, that the plan for gaining your sought-after title is complex to say the least?

A     Well, one might think so, but this is not the case by and large. Complex plans require a bureaucracy, extensive training programs, and the like. We make every effort to employ the simplest approach possible, or as God’s people call it, the simplest attack possible. Astutely manipulated, this is the heart and soul of deceit and deception. There are times when we go to…

Q          Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt you, but I find your last point rather phenomenal. If it wouldn’t be a breach of security, could you discuss in more detail what you mean when you say, employ the simplest attack possible?

A           Oh, certainly. And there’s no breach of security. Besides being as plain as the nose on your face, we have no standard practices that aren’t recorded throughout the annals of history, literally by the volume, not to mention the world’s all-time best seller, the Bible. I digress, but did you know that book has sold in excess of five billion copies and I have managed to corrupt it as well.  Anyway, even the most advanced management and marketing theories strive for simplicity in their product development. We are no different. While we do have stratagems calling for direct frontal assaults, such as wars, murder, theft, adultery, idol worship and XXX rated movie theaters to tempt the sensual needs, most of our negotiation—that is, temptation—is directed at the simple, mundane areas of life. Granted, it is great to have a big win by enticing a strong Christian into a porn house while he’s away from home on business. But, we have far more success with a simpler approach: compromised values while watching HBO; self-justification for a “small” impropriety; a novel with indiscretions that stick in the mind, etc. Ultimately, these pay off far more lucratively than a large, complex assault. This methodology has been implemented into every conceivable area of life. Porn and lust is but one example. Even though I am being candid about our tactical philosophy, our organization is in no danger of losing our market share. Such simplicity is too absurd for the logic of man. He considers himself just a bit too brilliant to be duped by an elementary approach like we employ. He rationalizes to himself, with some influence from my group, that to fall as he does to temptation must mean he is being assaulted by a force more complex than his mind can conceive. Thus, he finds that he…

Q         Pardon me for interrupting again, but I feel I am on the verge of understanding the genius of Hell, Inc. and your operational plan. Can you give some additional strategy to illustrate your point?

A           Sure. In fact, to demonstrate the ingenuity of our plan let me review the three primary strategies Hell, Inc. has developed. In our academy all of my associates become absolutely, unflinchingly proficient in three skills: Impersonation, Character Assassination, and Scripture Quotation. These are referred to as “ICS.” We really don’t worry much about those of mankind who are already ours. Because of the Great Coup, what my nemesis calls, the Fall, the inherent sinful nature of those who are mine accepts just about whatever suggestion we propose. It is the Christian with whom we are most concerned.

Q          Why is that?

A           Because they belong to Jesus the Christ. If they can be influenced to live in hypocrisy and disregard for their salvation, then Christ’s kingdom is weakened and my desired position is a bit closer. They are, as I said earlier, God’s “soft underbelly”—mere pawns in my quest for God’s title.

Q     Thank you for elaborating. Now you were saying something about ICS?

A          Yes, right. Impersonation, or the “I,” is simply to deceive the Believer in Jesus Christ regarding who his true enemy is. Even though the sinful propensity for independence was crucified and buried with Christ at Calvary, we see no reason not to impersonate that old nature for our purposes of deception. This way all, or should I say the vast majority, of our marketing efforts—temptations, if you prefer—seem like the Christian’s idea. Impersonation is quite effective. They become introspective and subject to self-condemnation, searching for the cause of their failure while expending great spiritual effort to deal with the hideous “self.” Never mind that their old self was dealt a fatal blow in Christ. Given the approach I’m describing, they think they are generating temptation. All the while it’s us! It is very amusing and quite rewarding actually. This strategy alone has done more for the net profit at Hell, Inc. than any other tactic or product. And of course, once the Christian accepts our impersonation as being his own idea, he’s extremely vulnerable because he has officially sinned.

Q          That is insidious!

A           Isn’t it? I love it! It’s one of our finest implements.

Q          And the second strategy, the “C”?

A          Yes. This is also a remarkable approach. Its versatility makes it cunningly effective. While we do use Character Assassination on Believers—you know, I hate calling them God’s children, the whole hereditary link, and so forth. But, I digressed again, didn’t I? Our principal execution of strategy C is accusation of God to the Believer. This is subtle most of the time, creating a nagging hesitation about His character or motive. It is precisely the same tack I took when I birthed the Great Rebellion and founded Hell, Inc. If you think about it, you hear and read our statements everywhere. In fact, strategy C is proliferating exponentially due to increased stress in mankind’s society. Thanks to strategy C, God is blamed for just about everything man finds discomforting. It is only natural for man to question during stressful times. But to ask the right question, that is the key. The wrong query leads only to equally wrong, and sometimes more troubling, answers. For example, it is common to hear, “Why didn’t God answer my prayers?” when the divorce papers arrive. “Doesn’t He care about how hard I try to please Him?” when bankruptcy has to be filed. “Why me when sickness sets in two days after vacation begins?” and the implication is that God caused the illness, or at least, didn’t prevent it. There are any number of these questions—and they all indite God. I devised each through strategy C and my people deploy them through strategy I. It all seems and feels to humans very natural and innocuous. But with perseverance, the payoff is significant: the adulteration of God’s character. Even though the Bible strictly prohibits the concocted belief that God can instigate evil and wrongdoing, it leaves Him vulnerable to Character Assassination through  His attributes of control and being all-powerful. Simply stated, if He knows all, and controls all, and can do anything, it leaves His subjects precariously receptive to my question: “Why doesn’t He…?” whatever. Fill in the blank. At this time, the church and its theology, and the world and its philosophy, have pretty well adopted the ridiculous notions of God being at fault, man’s vassalage to His whims, and Hell, Inc.’s relative remoteness. If my organization and I are distant, or better yet, imaginary, then we are not responsible. We don’t have anything to do with what man deems unpleasant, unfortunate, or wrong. By clear implication then, God is to blame. And this is the way I want it, for now anyway.

Q     So by questioning God’s character to His children, or Believers, you hope to wear them down, making them vulnerable to receiving your accusations and becoming embittered toward Him.

A           Embittered would be wonderful, but actually if they only sink to a moderate level of doubt and declare a small degree of independence, for the sake of self-preservation, then strategy C has been successful. Christians living independently from God is our goal. When this is adequately achieved, I will usurp my sought-after title.

Q         The final strategy of “ICS” is Scripture Quotation. I recall that you employed this technique on Jesus Christ when He was a human.  Am I to assume that you utilize Scripture today as you used it with Him?

A          Absolutely. In many cases Christians today are no better off with the New Testament than they were without it in Jesus’ day. I mean, they may have it, but unless they know what’s in it they won’t derive any benefit from it. Many of them only know what they’ve been taught or heard by false ministers that I set up. I love these folks. They don’t know a lie from the truth, and by the time they figure out that they are deceived, it’s too late. Often, when folks like this find themselves in a hopeless situation, we suggest that if they demonstrate enough faith in God, then God will be obliged to do what they want Him to do. At strategic moments in their temptation, we quote verses from the Bible. One of my favorites is Matthew 17:20. Jesus’ disciples asked Him why they couldn’t cast out a demon. For the record, one of my employees. He said, “Because of the littleness of your faith.” He goes on to say, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you.” Isn’t that great? What an exercise in frustration!

Q          But, sir. With all due respect, that’s not what the context of that passage says.

A          I know, but that’s not the point. Trying to make God do something by believing hard enough is the point. Of course it’s a deception, but that’s what we do. The biblical ignorance of these folks compromises them. When they start trying to figure out how they got fouled up, with a little guidance from my staff, they realize they are disillusioned about God because He didn’t honor the Scripture they quoted. Who cares if that’s not what He meant? I sure don’t. But in all honesty, let me say this: When Believers mature in their walk with God to where they manage Scripture accurately and with respect, Hell, Inc. is in trouble. So, we are vigilant. Always. God said His Word is sharper than a double-edged sword, and He is correct. For heaven’s sake, that’s why I utilize it so often? But with ICS as a methodological strategy, even though the Bible is sharp and active, deceived Believers are dull. Judging from what I see around me, I believe my chances for success are strong.

Q          Lucifer, you are certainly wise and have devised an insidiously simple and deceptively attractive program. I regret that we are out of time. I appreciate you granting me this plain spoken interview.

A           It has been my pleasure. It is our vision that Hell, Inc. that I will rule the world one day from God’s throne. The more public relation stunts I can perform, the better. Before we close, I’ll challenge you to watch and observe. Even with my game plan in hand, Believers will look for me in the shadows, but never at home, in their car, while on break, and certainly not at church. They will be my puppets. The sniveling pawns are my conduit to God’s throne. You watch and see!

Thank you again, sir.

 I had the opportunity to visit with Lucifer at his regional headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. If you would like to know more about him and his initiatives, there are multiple passages devoted to him from the Bible.  In addition, he and the Spirit of God are engaged in ongoing hostilities over the allegiance of humankind. Lucifer seems confident he will win but I think he has underestimated GOD.
