Lucifer is on the prowl for Christians to distract and devour.
There is a controlled, calculated, sinister conspiracy at work today, trying to destroy the very foundation upon which this great nation was built. The underlying virtues which made America great have been forgotten by its people. It is being ignored in the schools. Liberal politicians are rationalizing it away, while peace at any price is popular, even if it means turning the world over to communism.
Prosperity (at any cost) is encouraged, even if it means bankrupting our economy. Safety first and duty last is the cry of bread and circus politicians. Today 80 percent of our youth will follow a pied piper that carries a red, permissive, socialistic flag and toots the horn of humanism and world government. They are the product of an educational system and television media, which is fast abandoning American ideals in favor of some humanistic dream for a utopian world.
Our nation does not consist of just millions of miles of broad, beautiful four-lane highways that tie our cities together. We are more than just beautiful apartment complexes with parks and recreation areas. A nation is people, and our tomorrow is being shaped today.
Let me ask you, why should we put aside the greatest social, political and economic systems the world has ever known? Why should we put away the Bible, its primary source of philosophy, culture and direction? Isn’t our society and economic system the world’s greatest? Why change? What’s behind the tradition? Why the gradual change from our traditional philosophy of theism to humanism and one-world internationalism?
The problem is simply this: Most Christians are unaware of a subtle, active, spiritual conspiracy to keep men from understanding the Gospels of Christ. Most Christians are ignorant of a conspiracy to oppose the Great Commission, to keep men from every encounter with the atoning work of Christ. Most Christians don’t understand the working principles contained in a verse of scripture found in Ephesians 6:12. Many Christians could quote this verse of scripture. But most contemporary Americans don’t really understand what it means. Paul wrote: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but we do wrestle against four things: principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. Dear friend, that is a conspiracy, though most have failed to recognize it.
Let’s review the picture of this international conspiracy. Principalities, powers, rulers of darkness. These elements have international implications and historical significance. These are basic elements which can be illustrated from history.
Most nations are first established with a promise of freedom. The people feel a certain security, and with it comes affluence. Affluence cause a growing apathy, which eventually results in a state of chaos and anarchy, which leads to a police state of some kind and eventually slavery. Then a bloody revolution is required to re-establish freedom. This all follows a conditioning process effected over a period of time—a cycle that many nations have gone through.
The Illuminati conspiracy goes back historically to around the time of the American Revolution in 1776. Across the Atlantic, there was a conspiracy under development that would someday challenge our system of government. The conspirators were called the Illuminati. The word illuminati means “the enlightened ones.”
The underground movement developed in Spain and France in the 1700s and then jumped back to 1200 BC in Italy, France and Greece. The practices and philosophies of the Illuminati were formally incorporated into Freemasonry in Europe in 1780. Men were told it was designed to make the human race, without any distinction, one big happy family. But wait a minute! That is a principle of humanism!
The working philosophy and system of the Illuminati is an all-seeing eye before a sunburst on a pyramid. You probably have a picture of the Illuminati symbol with you right now. Look at the back of a dollar bill. On the left-hand side, in the great seal above the pyramid, you can see an all-seeing eye with the sunburst behind it. Notice on the base of the pyramid: the Roman numerals read 1776. On the banner below the pyramid, it reads “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” which means “New World Order.”
Here are the objectives of the Illuminati conspiracy:
1. The obliteration of Christianity
2. The deification of sensuality
3. The repudiation of marriage and
the state adoption of children
4. The destruction of private property
5. Universal license and world government
6. The destruction of all governments
7. The merging of all people
Karl Marx was hired to write a program for the takeover of a nation called “The Communist Manifesto.” Here is an outline of the program that Marx drew up, which currently has succeeded in overcoming over three-fifths of the world’s population:
1. The abolition of property rights
2. Graduated income tax (introduced into the United States in 1913)
3. The abolition of the inheritance right (U.S. courts almost eliminate the validity of a will today)
4. The confiscation of private property
5. The centralization of credit in a national bank or national banking system (introduced into the United States in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve System)
6. Centralization of communication and transportation (or what we know today as The Federal Communication Commission)—federal agencies which control transportation and interstate communication
7. State ownership of factories (The United States government taxes away 34 percent of industrial profits today.)
8. Equal liberty for all labor
9. Combine all agriculture and manufacturing; and
10. Free government education in government schools.
Karl Marx stated that the first step in taking over a nation is to provide free education in government schools.
There have always been conspiracies at work in the world from Illuminati, Marxists, Capitalists and Communists. Are all these three related? Or is it coincidental? Is there a real, tangible relationship?
In my opinion, Lucifer is the master deceiver. In saying that, I am not trying to shift the blame away from the men who are responsible and pin it on some legendary character. Lucifer is very real. He is the timeless mind that dominates men of every age and enslaves them.
In his kingdom, he coordinates the conspiracy. He organizes lost men to crush out the Gospel ministry and to resist the propagation of the Gospel along with the concept of theism. In 1 Peter 5:8, the Bible says, “…the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
And when the tempter, the Devil himself, came to Jesus in the temptation, what did he offer Him?
“And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.”
What? “…the kingdoms of the world.” Evidently, they were Satan’s to give. They seem to be in hands organized for the control of these people who have no desire for Christ, who have no inner theistic control.
Most have heard the song “He’s Got the Whole in His Hands.” Unfortunately, it is Lucifer who has the whole world in his hands. In 1 John 5:19, the scriptures say, “…and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”
You and I are in a battle today. May God help us to gird ourselves for the war. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).
Let us work until that day when the heavenly trumpet sounds, Christians are taken out of this world and the dead in Christ are raised to newness of life.
Let us work to rescue people from that day when God will pour out His judgment upon Lucifer and his unbelieving human race.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the blood of Jesus Christ and that He is coming back soon.
