TRENDING:

The Secular World Is Cheering For The Arrival Of The ‘Man Of Lawlessness’

Jan Markell

A godless globalist extravaganza! Of course, I refer to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. Much has been written about them. They opened with a rider on a white horse seeming to announce the arrival of the Antichrist. The organizers, and not the athletes, seemed to cheer him on. Clearly, the brains behind the outfit are a bunch of one-worlders who see the world as a global entity. They see us hurtling towards a sinister agenda.

And worst of all, Olympic organizers and their creative geniuses, were Satan’s useful idiots to advertise for him and to promote his kingdom.

Back in 2021, I wrote an article titled Anticipating the Antichrist and how America, particularly, is preparing for his any-day-arrival. Here we are in 2024 and the world is doing that even more enthusiastically. Not believers. We’re anticipating the return of Jesus. But the secular and pagan world is cheering for the arrival of the “man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2).

Book Ends of Blasphemy and Debauchery

The Olympics featured book ends of mockery. Their opening and closing ceremonies took inclusion and DEI to new levels. There was a prayer to Zeus. A golden calf was featured. Fallen angels were celebrated. Drag queens mocked the Last Supper. Demons seemed to be center stage. Jesus was mocked and portrayed by a lesbian. Scene after scene reflected blasphemy and debauchery—with a small child observing it all.

We are in an all-out war. A spiritual war. Christians are fair game. Islam, Mohammed, and the Koran are not. But even nonChristians could not help but comment on the fact that rituals and ceremonies were suspiciously dark and even Satanic. It wasn’t subtle. It was blatant— in your face.

Are You Seeing the Pattern?

No, it was nothing new. We saw it at just some of the following:

  • In New York City in 2015 when the goddess Kali was displayed on the Empire State Building.
  • At the Gotthard Base Tunnel ceremony in Switzerland in 2016.
  • In the Commonwealth Games of 2022 which featured a woman riding a beast—a bull—with many bowing down before them.
  • In endless Grammy Award ceremonies.
  • In many Super Bowl half-time performances.

World Leaders: A Bridge Too Far

World leaders often mock anything to do with God but as it concerns the activity in Paris this summer, many were in unity, denouncing these godless, pagan actions. You didn’t have to be a rightwing fundamentalist, or conspiracy theorist, to say they should have pulled the plug on whoever was the creative artist.

Satan wants to be glorified, and he wants to always remind the world that his kingdom is waiting in the wings. And he’s got legions of clueless, blind people who are willing co-conspirators. They may be laughing now, but one day, they will be wailing and pleading for mercy. It will be too late.

Channeling Ancient Babylon

Darkness is loved, while light is being ardently and actively hated. It isn’t enough for people to just revel in the darkness, they want to showcase it on the world’s stage and celebrate it. Surely, ancient Babylon operated in like manner.

John 3:19-20 says, “And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”

Satan’s Short-Lived Kingdom

This is not all bad news. It means that Satan is trying to rush his kingdom with good press releases. Here’s the good news: His kingdom is a laughing stock compared to what God has planned for those who love and serve Him in the days and years ahead. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9).

God’s kingdom is out of this world. No words can describe it. Things are wrapping up. They’re falling into place. Be encouraged.

The LGBT Worldview Is Permeating Our Schools… Should We Send Our Children Into This Anti-Christian System?

The LGBTQ worldview is permeating our secular schools (and, sadly, even some “Christian” schools). Secular schools (e.g., public schools in the USA) are not neutral. The Bible says you’re either for Christ or against. And when you build your thinking on man’s word instead of God’s Word, then ultimately anything goes. And we’re seeing that happen now throughout the secular anti-God education system.

Will Graham Leads Prayer, Shares The Gospel With South Dakota’s Government Leaders

Will Graham, who was invited to speak and lead a prayer, took the opportunity to share the Gospel with anyone who didn’t yet have a relationship with Christ. He told the story of Nicodemus, a religious leader in the Bible. “You can do good things, you can serve your community, but that doesn’t make you right in God’s eyes. You may look like you have it all together, but on the inside you’re far from God.”

In An Ever Darkening World, We Can Find Solace In Bible Prophecy

The bright side of the growing evil in the world is that it is a sure sign that we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. If you will check Genesis 6, you will find that Noah’s society was characterized by violence and immorality. This is the reason that the great pastor, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005), once said, “The world is growing gloriously dark.” How can the acceleration of evil be considered “glorious”? Because it is a sign of the imminent return of Jesus.
