Yup, it’s a spiritual war. The forces of darkness, embodied in the satanic spirit of antichrist and manifested and “progressed” by the Left means to do exactly what Jesus said Satan, the thief, is here to do: “Kill, Steal , and Destroy” (John 10:10).

On the other hand, Jesus, the Light of the world, is here to bring life and life more abundantly (id.).

The umpire is man - he chooses who to go with and trust. Man without Jesus Christ, is bound by the dictates of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Although man without Jesus Christ thinks he’s ruling himself, in fact he is the helpless pawn of the infinitely smarter Satan and his subtleties.

Since the end of the 19th century, the world has turned away from trusting God saying, as prophesied by Jesus, “I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing” (Rev 3:17) - ie. “Thanks God, we don’t really need you now, we’ll take it from here...” The results of course have been disastrous as man in his professed upward climb has in fact descended to slavish dependence on man and man’s government. He is, in fact as Jesus said, “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, and doesn’t know it” (id.).

But God is moving across the dark waters of this world as he did in the beginning and speaking light. The “Grace Revolution “ is sweeping across his saints, the church, and I believe He’s preparing to once again make America a beacon of hope and a light of salvation around the world.

The End is soon, but not yet. Satan is going to have to wait. I believe God is getting ready for the last end-time in-gathering of souls from around the world (Luke 14:32) BEFORE that “great and terrible day of the Lord” (Joel 2:28-32; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Malachi 4).

So until He comes to take us to be with him, may we be ambassadors of Christ ministering the word of reconciliation to souls as lights in a dark place “so His house might be filled” (Luke 14:32) before he comes to take his saints out of this world and it all comes crashing down.
