Spiritual Forces of the Last Days

The Daily Word of Righteousness

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. (II Timothy 3:1-5)

Introduction

Several spiritual forces are operating in the world and will continue to be significant until the Lord returns.

The first three we shall mention are of God and beneficial for the righteous. The remainder are sophisticated expressions of Satan. They are so ingenious, so subtle, that only the most dedicated Christians will be able to perceive them as wicked.

The world is filled with unclean spirits and forces that are attempting to conquer God's Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ. None of them shall succeed in their objective.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)

The intent is to deceive. Neither Satan nor any other spiritual personage or force has enough power to overcome one of the Lord's elect. Satan's authority over God's people was destroyed on the cross of Calvary.

Therefore Hell uses deception to seduce the minds and emotions of the saints. There shall be much deception in the last days and it already is present.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:24)

The main problem is not with other religions or Communism or the New Age movement. Many teachers are warning the Christian churches of the dangers of Communism or the New Age movement or the Muslim religion. None of these present a mortal threat to the true saints. The worst they can do is to kill the bodies of the Christians. The Lord Jesus advised us to not be concerned about those who can do no more than kill the body. Rather, we are to fear God—He who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

The answer to the question of how both soul and body can be destroyed in the spiritual Hell is found in the convergence of the physical and spirit realms in the last days.

Communism, the Muslim religion, and the New Age movement pose no great threat to God's elect because it is obvious to the saints that such are not of God. The true danger lies in the ultrasophisticated wickedness of the last days.
