The divide

TO THE EDITOR:

More Americans are expressing concern over our “deeply divided nation,” so why is it worsening? Because our generation is increasingly falling for deceptions that originate from Satan, whose agenda includes separating America from literal Biblical truths.

Resulting in the beliefs of more moving further away from fewer who remain committed to God’s word—thus God. Because the Bible is the only source providing all that is essential for us to know about the true character, and will of God—but also this “Original Rebel,” and what his goal is. It is revealed in Isaiah 14—to take God’s place. This continues to be his hell-bent obsession, with the ultimate goal of eventually being accepted as God, by all mankind.

Beginning with Eve (then Adam), enticing her to satisfy her physical desire for what God warned against. Initially resisting, referring to God’s warning, this “Deceiver” twisted His words, and perverted her perception of God. As God warned, the consequences of their disobedience was spiritual separation from Him, (which all their descendants inherited). Although a spiritual relationship was restored to those repenting, and placing faith in God, Satan has continued since, using basically the same deceptive methods in his ongoing attempt to replace God.

To be “accepted as God,” this “deceiver” must maintain beliefs in a god. Explaining why there remains around 90% who say they “believe in God,” while most, in degrees, are falling for distortions of God’s word, including His description of His true character.

Satan’s most effective tool is deceived “religious” leaders. As Biblically illiterate followers place faith in them, they are being provided “religious” justification to indulge their carnal desires, and worldly agendas.

As most are preferring false characterizations of God, that has universal appeal to man’s fallen nature, Satan’s priority is turning from “dividing,” to unifying all the deceived, (including all major false “religions” and secularist). Also using his puppet “religious” leaders to form a false version of the “Kingdom of God,” supported by this false god. Spiritually blind, disregarding God’s word, they have become Satan’s useful fools. For it is his Kingdom and god, they are blindly seeking to establish.

God has pre-determined the outcome of this widespread deception, and “divide.” He will complete, and take the true Church of Jesus Christ. Then all who prefer this false god will be allowed to experience his evil rule—then God’s Judgment.
