Will the Pentagon Bring About the Abolishment of the Historic Christian Faith?

A number of moves recently shown that the leaders in the top levels of government are increasingly  anti-christian.  From everything to the military labeling Chrisitans (both Evangelical and Catholic) as enemy number one, to the legislation to court martial Christian soldiers if they share their faith within the Dept. of Defense, to the media wishing that a white male Christian was responsible for the Boston bombing, to the FBI "saying" a suspect was yelling Jesus as he illegally broke into an airport hangar.

So they are so itching to demonize Christians and the Christian faith.  The Bible says that this shouldn't surprise us.  "They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them"  (1 Jn. 4:5).  And there is no doubt they will find someone to achieve their ends.  It's a matter of time.

A key teaching of the Christian faith is that we are all sinners, and have all fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).  In fact, our righteousness is like filthy rags to the holy God (Is. 64:6).  This is why God tells us that He has made a way of salvation, that Jesus Christ died as the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins (Rom. 3:25; 1 John 4:10).  And even when a person is saved, born into the creation of God, it is still possible for a believer to commit a sin, though not have a life that is characterized by habitual sin.

But God's word predicts that many will fall away from sound doctrine, the love of most will grow cold because of the increase of lawlessness in the last days.  In case you haven't noticed, all these things and more are happening.  Jesus is not far away in His coming, but neither is the one who comes befofre Him, who tries to claim His role.  In the vision that the prophet Daniel had of the beast which symbolized a one-world empire, the small horn (i.e. Maitreya, Mahdi, Messiah, World Teacher, Ascended Master) will be given victory over the holy ones for a time, times and half a time (Dan. 7).

So everything continues to happen right on schedule.  In the days of Noah (Mt. 24:37), the gene pool of humanity was being genetically altered, and beastiality was being taught by the "aliens" that were at that time seen as gods.  All of this confirms scripture as much as man and the world argue that it doesn't, that we are heading into an enlightened age, where we will realize our divinity.  The only thing the world is heading into is bondage, slavery to the evil one, who hates the beings who were created in the image of their Creator.

But all this is why the Lord Yahweh has sent His Son, to redeem us from our sins, if we but place our trust in Jesus the Messiah (Jn. 14:6; Rom. 5:8, 10:9-10)
