Hated by All, Religious Extremists, Satan’s Part and God’s Plan

“‘[A]nd you will be hated by all because of My name.'” (Luke 21:17)

It’s gonna get ugly. (It’s starting?)

I mean, how does a United States Army Reserve training material presentation include a slide that has Catholicism and Evangelical Christianity under the classification of “Religious Extremism”?

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the latter was numero uno on the list! (You can see it for yourself: click here.) This list also includes (and these are BELOW Evangelical Christianity): Al Qaeda (at #5), Hamas (#6) and the Ku Klux Klan (#8) among others.

Let me say it again: How does a United States Army Reserve training material presentation include a slide that has Catholicism and Evangelical Christianity under the classification of “Religious Extremism”?

I’ll tell you how it does. (Are you listening?)

Satan has come to earth with great wrath because he knows his time is short. (Revelation 12:12) And what is the focus of his wrath? Of course, Israel is. And along with her? The Church.

The Bible is clear that the Church will be given over to the devil for him to do with her as he pleases and it will reach fever pitch at the end of the world…

It was also given to him (Antichrist) to make war with the saints (the Church) and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. (Revelation 13:7)

And they (the Church) overcame him (the devil) because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. (Revelation 12:11)

And why does God give His people into the devil’s hands and especially directly prior to the return of Jesus to the earth?

I’ll give you that answer, too. (Are you still listening?)

He’s separating the real believers from the false ones.
