If you are observant, you must see that America is so different from what it was 70 years ago. Our nation was established on a faith in God and religious freedom. America’s constitution was formed on the foundation of the Law of God and the Holy Bible. We never heard of demonic spirits which come from a form of idolatry and witchcraft years ago as children.

I have listened to a number of Christian missionaries who spent considerable time in Africa talk about the number of demon possessed people. They were not aware there was a God and they believed in Voodoo and witchcraft. The Bible states that Jesus may have spent 25% of His ministry casting out demons and evil spirits. Many knew that there were evil and demonic spirits in the world but never realized they existed in the U.S. There is plenty of evidence that they have changed the lives of many Americans.

American Christians today, only about 55%, believe the Bible is totally accurate. Less than 50% of Christians polled believe Satan represents evil, but do believe that a person can be influenced by demons. About 50% did not believe in the Holy Spirit indwelling in the life of a Christian.

If all Christians polled don’t believe as the Bible teaches, what about people who do not know God and belong to satanic cults? Is there any wonder that our nation is drastically changing? What about local, state and government leaders. Do you think what they believe and their character affects the lives of Americans?

As we study Bible prophecy we learn that in the end times, many will move from the truth and except beliefs of all kinds. There will be a revolt and many will end their dependence on God and move away. We are being prepared for the revealing of the Antichrist.

2 Thessalonians 2:6 – 12 – “And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”

The Antichrist will not be revealed because he will be held back by the Holy Spirit until the appropriate time. Scripture says his power of lawlessness is already at work. Can we not see evil and demonic spirits working in America and the world now than ever before? This man will be very powerful and will receive notoriety and loyalty from the masses. He is Satan’s tool and will be given all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders in order to deceive all.

Why do we believe that God will allow this wicked person to act without restraint? In order for people and nations to be shown their own sinfulness and to see what happens when they rebel against God and refuse the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Once he is revealed he will act with great power and unrestricted evil. Are we not sensing this happening today?

Revelations says the Antichrist will make fire flash down to earth from heaven while everyone is watching. His power and his miracles will deceive and cause unbelievers to perish who refuse to love the truth or gospel message and be saved. Those who chose to follow the Antichrist; God will send a powerful delusion so that they will believe his lies and thus be condemned for not accepting Christ as the Savior. God uses Satan as part of His judgment for rebelling.

I Timothy 4:1 – “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”

I believe prophecy is telling us to read the signs and get ready. We are seeing prophecy fulfilled before our very eyes. This is why evil and demonic spirits are getting people to be willing to accept and to prepare for the Antichrist. There are people listening to these spirits and are doing as they say. It is not going to get better, only worse.

John 3:36 – “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
