Mystery Babylon

Description of the Harlot

Rev 17:1-7

"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written,

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns."

This graphic description seen in Chapter 17 of Revelation refers to a FALSE RELIGIOUS SYSTEM. Other scriptures about "Babylon" refer to the literal city of Babylon, or a part of an economic Babylon which is revealed in Rev. Chapter 18. The Apostle John was referring to a "Mystery" in the above scripture wherein he describes a "whore" incredibly in likeness to the Roman Catholic Church, filled with the blasphemous assertion of the pope as Mediator betweeen God and Man, drunken with the blood of the saints (remember the inquisition?), and adorned with the scarlet and gold colors of the vatican. This HARLOT MOTHER gives it's power and authority to the first beast (i.e. the New World Order of the anti-christ).

From Daniel Chapters 2 & 7 we have an understanding of what the 7 heads and the ten horns represent (refer to Message #6 "Daniels Vision of the Rise and Fall of the World's Great Empires"). The heads are representative of the world's empires throughout man's history; and, the ten horns are the nations of the last world empire under the anti-christ. The scarlet colored beast is seen as being full of names of blasphemy and is representative of a false religious system that will be at the head of the end time apostate church.

Babylonian Mystery Religions

The false religious system of the end time has its beginnings in the land of the Chaldeans in the form of the Babylonian Mystery Religions. Many observances and rituals associated with these mystery religions have been retained by present day false religions. One example of this may be found in the observance of many of the rituals of the Roman Catholic Church such as the worship of Mary (mother worship). Mother worship originated in the form of goddess worship, one of many pagan influences upon the early Catholic Church which have remained as part of Church doctrine. Today, the mother of Jesus has been deified and often assumes more significance in the church than does the "Son of God". The Catholic system itself is a system of works that consists of 1302 man made regulations. These regulations deal with "dos and don'ts, .."Touch not, taste not, handle not" (Col. 2:21). God's Church is not a church of dos and dont's. God's True Church is a group of people saved by the blood of Jesus Christ not having their emphasis on the issues of man's law. We must keep our eyes on Jesus Christ through the knowledge given by God Himself in His Word rather than some legal system whose commandments are of men. The Old Testament law was literally nailed on the cross at the death of Jesus Christ. Our Hope was risen with Him as He was ressurected from the dead. That is not to say that we aren't to keep the Law as best we can; rather, we are to strive diligently to be Christ like. We, then, are saved by our acceptance of His Provision...that is, the Gift of God's only begotten Son on the cross to take on the sins of mankind. He clearly tells us we cannot redeem ourselves.

Work's Roots

The false teaching of "Salvation by Works" is at the root of most false religious systems. Ultimately, these false churches focus on "works" to please God and through these works, they believe, they will then "gain" His ultimate reward, having "earned" it by their own efforts. This idea demands that we can earn our salvation by our own works apart from God. It naturally follows that "we are our own God's." This becomes the basis for "humanism". The issue of salvation is in reality a "Gift" given by God to man requiring no works but a simple belief and acceptance of His Son Jesus Christ. We must first believe that He is. We can only come to God through His Son, the only Mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5): "for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;...",

The world's false religious system is most easily seen in such organizations as The Jehovah Witnesses, Mormonism, Scientology, and other overt occult groups. God's word is clear, however, that during the last days the Great Apostasy will deceive even those churches that have previously taught the true gospel of Christ. The Truth will be replaced by "vain edicts and doctrines of men". They will not endure sound doctrine nor Faith built upon the sure Word of God. True Faith is based upon "hearing and hearing by the Word of God" (Rom. 10:17). This does not put faith in a vacuum where it can be claimed by ravenous wolves that deny the One who "bought" them with His blood (2 Peter 2:1). Ultimately, we can know false teachings from Truth. He tells us to "try" or "test" the spirits whether they be of God (1 John 4:1). We "test the spirits" by understanding what God's Word says and applying it to what is being taught from the pulpit. I dare say that most who attend church today hardly hear the reading of God's Word and do little testing as to the accuracy of what is being taught.

The "Lie"

God's Word reveals that mankind has always been suceptible to a religious "lie". That lie, straight from the mouth of Satan is: "Man can be as God" . This lie is the basic tenant of HUMANISM This is the same lie Satan used to deceive Eve, and ultimately all mankind, in the garden of Eden. There is a Great Apostasy in the world today that yearns for a New World Religious Order which has it's roots in this lie. There is a seduction of Christianity today which is a part of this Great Apostasy. This apostasy has it's deceivious roots in the notion of UNITY of all Churches regardless of their beliefs concerning salvation and other crucial doctrines. This religious New Age movement is openly a part of the overall new political, economic, social and religious Order which is straining to bring in the anti-christ. Many new age advocates such as Alice Baily, a new age guru whose humanist writings are used as the doctrinal basis for United Nations ideology, see in humanism (the lie) the foundation for a New Social Order which they refer to as "The Plan". This New Age plan is Satan's plan to destroy (i.e. circumvent) the True Plan of God.

Daughters of the Harlot

The world is currently witnessing the "Unity", of these false religions having been joined together as Daughters of the Harlot. "The lie" (2 Thess. 2:11) is the great delusion to seduce mankind into believing in an anti-christic religious spirituality which leads man away from the Truth of Salvation by God's Grace through His Son, Jesus Christ. Secular Humanism is man's religion. It is tragically interesting that our own supreme court has determined humanism to be a religion. Furthermore that religion is the only one allowed in public schools and government buildings...and we wonder why the world is falling apart at the seams.

Satan's Plan

This Satanic system is working for "World Unity" and attempting to bring "Peace" by man's efforts apart from God . We must understand that peace cannot come except through Jesus Christ; and, that it cannot come until He establishes his own kingdom in the coming Millenium Reign of Jesus Christ. This truth is fundamental to God's Word. Man is not getting better and better as the false church will tell you. His spiritual condition is in crisis.

We are witnessing a satanic plan within mainline Christianity that intends to subvert the true teachings of God's Word. There is a need to point out the extents to which this system is already in place. Only God can prepare an individual to receive Truth. Teachers of His Word are merely instruments to help one become aware of the spiritual battles that we are facing. New Age Humanist doctrine should be recognized for what it is: the most diabolical tool in the plan of Satan to undermine God.

Humanist Tools

Humanist mind control techniques, often used in public school classrooms include, among many others, visualization, physcotherapy, meditation, biofeedback, and, positive thinking. Other tools include hypnosis, holistic medicine, and a whole list of self improvement techniques, as well as, perhaps the most damaging.... the "SOCIAL GOSPEL". We, as members of God's True Church (all denominations based on the acceptance of HIM, the Son) need to check the scriptures and confirm the truth of these things and make a stand against spiritual apostasy. God says that end-time apostates will undergo "strong delusion" and accept "the lie" in these last days.

2Th 2:12: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (the Day of the Lord)shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

Again, we need to "try (test) the spirits whether they be of God"(1 John 4:1). How then do we know the voice of Jesus Christ among all the confusing interpretations and ideologies that are being spoken in His name? Many conflicting ideas are being taught on TV and at bible seminaries which do not have their foundation in God's Word. Who is right? What does the world see and think as they observe the apostate church? Satan, of course, uses the tickling cry of "UNITY"to deceive those who are not grounded in His Word. This "UNITY" can only exist at the expense of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Mystery Babylon, the false religious system, headed by the Roman Catholic "Mother" of Harlots (Rev. 17:5) can only flourish by rejecting the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only mediator between God and man. Only by the blood sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, are our sins forgiven. Why do we have such diverse of ideologies as to what Truth is? The simple but very profound answer is Satan, the author of confusion. Satan's ultimate goal is to cause as many as possible to err concerning the doctrine of salvation; and, cause as many souls as possible to deny He Who is the only one through which we have a way back into the presence of the Godhead.

Falling Away

The Day of the Lord will not come until there is a "falling away first" (2 Thess 2:3). One school of thought contends that the "falling away" refers to the spiritial apostasy to come upon the world, including the church, prior to the Day of the Lord (The Tribulation). The Greek word for the "falling away" is "apotasia" from which we derive the word "apostasy". This "spiritual apostasy" is further revealed to occur prior to the recognition of the rise of the antichrist, the son of perdition. This is the time in which we live.

Vain Philosophies

In Col. 2:8 God's Word speaks against "philosophies and vain deceit, after the rudiments of this world and not after Christ". History abounds with examples of "humanist philosophies" which continue to lead man astray. At the very root of the word "humanism" is the belief that man is capable of attaining all things and do all things apart from God. The liberal church tendency is clearly evolving toward the exclusion of the Gospel that God (Christ) clearly foretold would occur at this time. To reiterate, Humanism is "the lie" that man can become as God, that he can do all things apart from Him who is the Author of all things. The Lie mentioned in 2 Thess 2:11 is at the root of deceiving the end time apostate Laodicean church.

Sorceries

Further study of Gods Word reveals that the nations of the world will be deceived by other satanic tools such as sorceries (Rev. 18:23). The Greek word for sorceries is pharmapseudakia from which we derive our word pharmacy (drugs). The practice of Sorcery includes a number of other mind altering techniques, such as meditation, yoga, alchemy and astrology.

Success Themes and Positive Thinking

God's Word is clear! We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). This is a fundamental Truth, which if rejected, is to deny God's Word. Misunderstanding this TRUTH opens one to the "spirit of antichrist" and Delusion. This is exactly why we need Jesus Christ!! Again, "the lie" would have you believe that we can attain salvation apart from the finished work by Jesus Christ upon the Cross of Calvary. Robert Schuler is a false teacher. He is not teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. "As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:9).

The TRUTH must be known. What can be more important in the scheme of things than knowing the Truth concerning the salvation of your soul?. God's Word teaches us that The "lie" is being taught by an assortment of "doctrines of demons":(1 Tim. 4:1) "Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...".

The Power is in JesusChrist

(2Tim 3.1-8):

,"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."

Notice particularly in v5 that the endtime Laodicean church has a "form of godliness but they deny the power. The power is in Jesus Christ!! Therefore, God commands that they come out of her: "from such turn away". If your church is preaching any other gospel than that which is dependent upon the acceptance of His Son, the Gift and the Way to eternal life...He commands you to LEAVE!! "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."(2 Tim. 3:5)

2Peter 2:1-2: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.">

The Fall of Man/Roots of The Lie

Gen: 3:1-6:

"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

In v.1 the Serpent is seen subtly placing doubt in Eve by the phrasing of his question "Hath God said?". In v.4 we see the serpent's (Satan's) first lie. Man's first sin follows in v.6. This was man's first sin against God and His law. This act of defiance marked the fall of man. It is the same "lie" as seen in 2Thess. 2:11. It is the same lie that is being promoted today in the new age spiritual movement The Great Apostasy, the new world religion". The philosophy of humanism is the foundation for the anti-christ social, political, religious and education systems. It is being forced upon our children within the educational systems particularly in the Arts, Humanities, Social Studies and Science "falsely so-called."

Humanism

The ultimate conclusion to this humanist cry is "we can be as God.", Where have we heard this before? Thus are the dangers and the deceit found in Human Potential movements. It is part of a diabolical delusion the roots of which are found in Eastern Mysticism and originate straight from within the arsenal of Satan.

New Age apostate teaching has it's foundations in Ancient Chaldean Mystery Religions; and, it is reflected in the the ideology of humanism. Many religious ideologies are promoted by new age gurus referred to in their own literature as the "Masters of Wisdom". Humanism is also at the foundation of works oriented "religions", of which the Roman Catholic Church is the "Mother of Harlots".

Man's Sin Nature

When the disciples asked Jesus "what will be the sign of your coming again and the end of the age", the very first thing Jesus said was "take heed that no man deceive you" (Matt 24:25). Paul spoke to the church at Corinth: 1 Cor 2.4-16):

"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

Paul has just spoken of secular humanism, that form of mans "wisdom" that has been the foundation of modern day thinking leading to spiritual apostasy even in the last days church which has shunned God's word and replaced it with empty Words of Peace, Unity and that catchall phrase "Love". They speak of right political agendas and a "Faith" based on man's philosophies rather than the Word of God. Ultimately, they seek to remove God's Word from our existence leaving only that which man has devised in His fallen state.

Utopia

The higher education one attains to the more humanism one is exposed to. Students are taught by implication that we can be as gods. We can change the hearts of men, for example, or eliminate crime. Higher education teaches we can be responsible for the current social order; and, that we can achieve to some grand Utopian design where wars and poverty do not exist. God's Word teaches otherwise. This New Order seeks to raise man's status in his own eyes. The humanist cry is "I will", or, "just do it". We certainly are to strive to restrain the decline of such things as the environment; and, we are told clearly our Christian responsibility to care for those who cannot care for themselves. However, as a result of the sin nature of man, he will never rid of poverty, or cease wars, nor rid of the pride that makes one man feel superior to another. We have been taught as truth the efforts of men such as John Dewey, Darwin, Hegel, Marx, and d'Escartes while systematically being denied God's Word. His Word is not even allowed as reference anymore!! The greatest accumulation of knowledge (and WISDOM) ever assembled is not allowed in the satanic controlled network of public education!!

Many students return from the universities to their communities ostentatious and full of pomp, empowered with the expression "I will." They fall prey to the belief that they can solve the world's basic problems that originate in his sin nature. All too many have not heard Gods Word because it has been ostracized and forced out of the humanist temples, having been supplanted by "messengers of error".

1 John 4:1-9:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.."

The Christ

Reappearance of the Christ

The pamplet continues to say "when the christ appears the non-essentials will surely disappear". Here they refer to non-essentials as such things as coming to the Godhead through Jesus Christ. Surely it is clear to any serious observer that the final years of infiltration of this false system into the true church is close to fulfillment. This apostate religious system will aid the bringing into power the anti-christ (Rev 13.13-15).

Elevating man has replaced the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only Faith in Jesus Christ, no other, can result in the new world religion for which all Christians await... the Millenial Kingdom of God. (Please refer to message #13 "The Millenial Reign of Jesus Christ").

Continuing the New Age satanic dissertation: "Christianity has emphasized immortality, but has made eternal happiness dependent upon the acceptance of theological dogma. Be a true confessing Christian living in a somewhat fortuitous heaven, or, refuse to be a confessing Christian, and, you will go to an impossible hell. Both concepts today are repudiated by all sincere thinking people. No one of true reasoning power can believe in a true God of love nor can they accept heaven. Still less do they accept the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone. Likewise they reject everlasting torture which a God of love supposedly uses to condemn all who do not believe in their middle age theological interpretation. The central truth lies elsewhere." It should be clear from their own words as to who their "god" is.

Angels of Light

The following is perhaps the most satanic statement of the pamphlet: "those, as the doers of the love of God, those who come as the revealers of the love of God come from that spiritual center to which the christ gave the name the kingdom of God. Here dwelleth the spirits of just men made perfect. Here the spiritual guides of the race are to be found. Here the spiritual executives of Gods plan live, work, and oversee human and interplanetery affairs. It is called many names by many people. It is spoken of as the ,"spiritual hierarchy", the "abode of light". God describes these New World Servers in 2 Col 11:13:

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."

Further quotes from this globally active New Age publication, World Goodwill, reveal their true agenda: "At the center where the "masters of wisdom" are to be found, the great lodge from which come those who act as messengers of the wisdom of God, custodians of the truth, as it is in Christ, and those whose task it is to save the world, to impart the next revelation and to demonstrate divinity...a new definition of God, when The Buddha taught that god was light and showed us the way of illumination, when Christ revealed to us that God was love through His life and service on earth." Notice the enticing truth that they ended their message with about God's love and service on earth which is some truth mixed in with the "big lie".

The Universal Church

Continuing the quote from World Goodwill: "Today, slowly the concept of a world religion and the need for it's emergence are widely desired and worked for. The fusion of Faiths is now in the field of discussion. Workers in religion will formulate the universal platform of the New World Religion. It is work of loving synthesis and will emphasize Unity and Fellowship of the spirit." This group is a channel for activities of "the christ". Remember the christ here is the false prophet who gives his power and authority to the anti-christ (Rev. 13) "The new world religion will be built by many groups under the inspiration and guidance of the christ. The church needs to remember that the human spirit is greater than all the churches and greater than their teachings. In the long run the human spirit will defeat them and will proceed triumphantly into the kingdom of God leaving them far behind unless they enter in as an humble part of the mass of men. Nothing under heaven can arrest the progress of the human soul on its long pilgrimage from darkness to light. The New World Religion will do this and it's implementation will proceed at a rapid pace after the reappearance of the christ."

How incredibly arrogant man has become!! Col 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

Points of Light

Thousand points of light is a form of networking in the new world movement. It is a means of linkage between one group of satan's followers and another group of world servers. World Server is a term used in their own literature to describe those who serve Satan's plan. The plan of Satan attempts to replace the true Christ with the anti-christ. Many New Agers are in contact not only verbally but spiritually. Leaders of the new world servers are referred to as "Masters of Wisdom". They MAY actually be fallen angels or be connected to demons.

Fallen Angels

Fallen angels have promoted the "lie" even since the days before The Flood (antediluvian era). The bible tells us that fallen angels cohabitated with the daughters of men (Gen 6:4). According to new age belief these leaders sit upon the "throne of the hierarchy" where Satan's plan is to destroy God's Plan. Christians understand this cannot happen. At the end of the tribulation Jesus Christ will come with power and great glory and the false prophet and the anti-christ will be cast into the bottomless pit. (Rev 20:10) Jesus will set up the time of true Peace that He said would come in the Millenial Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Until then, wars, the distress of nations, global unrest and a continued rise in terrorism will "wax worse and worse".

The Armour of God

Eph 6:11-17:

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".

Here God has told us clearly how we are to defend against the onslaught of Satan's deceit in the "evil day". He has told us in these versus of the "full armour" and equipment Christians need for spiritual warfare in these last days. That armour is manifest in the Word of God. It is important to realize that this end time world false religious system is currently in place and that evil is being restrained only by the presence of the Holy Spirit residing in the lives of the members of His true church.(2 Thess 2:7) The Great Apostasy has led many astray by a substitute "gospel of salvation by works." The end-time false church has lost its first love (Christ) and He has been replaced by a human agenda. Jesus Christ and the personal relationship we have through Him is being extracted from every phase of our lives. Our focus becomes less on God, His Son and obedience to His word and more about personal gain. (1 Tim 6:5).

The Decision

The end time manifestation of Mystery Babylon is real!! It is worldwide!! It is here now! There are splits in major denominational churches. Many are falling away from the true church and are attaching themselves to "the Universal Church of UNITY". This ecumenical split centers on whether one accepts God's word as TRUTH or a "watered down version" to make it "enticing to the ear", in order to satisfy that human need to aspire to a higher spirituality? Further dividing of the church is contained in whether you accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God...the belief that He is fully man and fully God. In other words, does one accept the Divinity of Jesus Christ? Herein lies Truth and Error: Every man is faced with this great decision at some point in their lives: Whether we accept the Truth in God or "the Lie" of Satan.

Accepting the "lie" over the truth of the gospel today could cause one to miss the "rapture" and face the tribulation, the Wrath of God. Those that come to accept Christ during the tribulation face martyrdom at the hands of the anitchrist. The Great Delusion is real!! Man faces the decision to accept God's Truth or Satan's lie. Even the very elect will be deceived, if it were possible (Matt. 24:24). The glue in the anti-christic system is this lie of Humanism. Mankind can understand these things if he seeks Truth "as if for hidden treasures" (Prov. 2:1-6). The issue of this late hour becomes Acceptance of the "Truth" of God, or, the "Philosophy" that originates in man through Satan. The Babylonian Mystery Religions and the end time apostate religious system deny the "Virgin Birth" and the "Divinity of Christ" as well as the authority of Scripture. It denies the necessity of acceptance of redemption by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. In it's stead is nurtured a "System of Works", a system of "I can", a system based on man. "We can" only through HIM who is the creator of all things, without whom was made anything that was made, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
