"Satan's goal is being achieved through Brown's work as planned."
Yes, but they play a futile game. The world may pass away but God's Word will never be destroyed. Brown and people like him hate the Christian God which should tell the world something. Why have they chosen our God to hate? Could it be because he is real..Why try to destroy something which does not exist? The main tool of the enemy, Satan, is deception. This is a prime example of it. I personally believe that people, like Brown, will come to no good end. They may be jealous of the power of the Christian God in this world but, as long as people pray, those who hate God are walking on dangerous ground. I am convinced that Mr. Brown and the others who have participated in this will receive justice, either here or in the hereafter.
"You say harsh things about me, says God. You say, 'It is useless to serve God; what is the good of keeping his commands or of walking mournfully before the Lord on the Sabbath? Now we have reached the point when we call the arrogant blessed; yes they prosper, these evil-doers; they try God's patience and yet go free.'
This is what those who fear the Lord used to say to one another. But God took note and heard them: a book of rememberance was written in his presence recording those who fear him and take refuge in his name.
On the day which I am preparing, says the Lord God Almighty, they are going to be my own special possession. I will make allowances for them as a man makes allowances for the son who obeys him.
Then once again you will see the difference between an upright man and a wicked one; between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him. For the day is coming now, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and the evil-doers will be like stubble.
The day that is coming is going to burn them up, says the Lord God, leaving them neither root nor stalk.
But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will shine out with healing in its wings; you will leap like calves going out to pasture. You will trample on the wicked, who will be like ashes under your feet on the day I am preparing, says the Lord God Almighty." (Malachi 3:13-21; 4:1-3).
"Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap. for it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth. Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man." (Lk.21:34-36).
Perhaps ole Dan Brown has worked his magic on you, albeit subconsciously???
