War of the Worlds?
By Mike Taylor
“The coming of the
lawless one is
according to the
working of Satan
with all power,
signs, and lying
wonders, and with
all unrighteous
deception among
those who perish,
because they did not
receive the love of
the truth, that they
might be saved. And
for this reason God
will send them
strong delusion that
they should believe
the lie that they
all may be condemned
who did not believe
the truth but had
pleasure in
unrighteousness” (2
Thessalonians
2:9-12).
“Let no man deceive
you with vain words:
for because of these
things cometh the
wrath of God upon
the children of
disobedience. Be not
ye therefore
partakers with them.
For ye were
sometimes darkness,
but now are ye light
in the Lord: walk as
children of light:
(For the fruit of
the Spirit is in all
goodness and
righteousness and
truth.)
Proving what is
acceptable unto the
Lord. And have no
fellowship with the
unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather
reprove them. See
then that ye walk
circumspectly, not
as fools, but as
wise, redeeming the
time, because the
days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not
unwise, but
understanding what
the will of the Lord
is” (Ephesians
5:6-11, 15-17).
In the past I have
written of the
coming of a
one-world religion
that may be headed
up by none other
than the Roman
Catholic Church and
the Pope. Based on
their history and
their continued
efforts through
organization such as
the Jesuits (Society
of Jesus), and
co-conspirators such
as Rick Warren, Bill
Hybels and the
emerging church,
they are introducing
mysticism into
church practices and
official doctrine.
Please read an
article titled, “The
Jesuit Agenda and
the
Evangelical/Protestant
Church” which can be
found by searching
the Internet. The
article mentions the
goal of the emerging
church with the
likes of Rick Warren
and his cohorts who
are promoting a
return of the
brethren to the
“mother church.” The
following quote is
an introduction to
what I want to
emphasize in this
article.
Rick Warren has
been one of the many
pied pipers of this
move to unite
through “good
works.” Called
“America’s pastor,”
Warren has become
the
evangelical/Protestant
spokesperson
for a one-world
religion. His
Purpose Driven model
has become the
battle cry for
let just all get
along and do good.
We can work together
as one for one
common purpose –
peace in the
world.
But moving on to the
focus of this
message, what is the
one ingredient that
would immediately
unite the world into
the goal of a one
world government and
a one world
religion? It’s a
possible scenario
even beyond our
economic woes and
the devaluation of
the dollar, or calls
for unity of all
nations, as there
are so many
differences in each
sovereign nation.
What if a world
population believed
that their very
survival was at
stake, or that the
world, as we know
it, was about to
abruptly end with
violence and untold
suffering? What
would convince an
undiscerning
population to follow
one man, one
government, one
religion -- to give
them a sense of calm
and reinforce their
continued sinful
lifestyle?
As far back as 1987
after a meeting with
Russian President
Gorbachev, President
Ronald Reagan spoke
of the one thing
that would unite the
world as one and put
all our petty
differences aside.
President Reagan
said, speaking of
himself and
Gorbachev:
“How easy his task
and mine might be in
these meetings that
we held if suddenly
there was a threat
to this world from
some other species
from another planet
outside in the
universe. We’d
forget all the
little local
differences that we
have between our
countries.”
And later in another
speech, Reagan’s
remarks were along
the same line:
“In our obsession
with antagonisms of
the moment, we often
forget how much
unites all the
members of humanity.
Perhaps we need some
outside, universal
threat to make us
recognize this
common bond.”
I believe he spoke
in ignorance of that
simple truth, for it
had he known then
what he said would
make him a prophet,
if the following
scenario became
fact.
Suppose that the
population of the
world truly believed
and were falsely led
to believe that an
“invasion from
another world” had
taken place and that
this world, this
planet was in danger
of annihilation?
I believe
that is the one
thing that would
instantly unite this
world of sinful men
to stand against
outside forces from
invading our world.
With the coming
environmental
attacks against this
planet that have
already started
picks up speed, many
will believe
anything.
If you are middle
aged, you can recall
back in the 70s, a
little movie called
“E.T.” Cute little
movie with a cute
little being from
outer space that
only wanted to
“phone home.” Since
that movie the
interest in things
beyond our world has
escalated into
greater and greater
interest in all
things
extraterrestrial.
The movie industry
has exploded with
plots that speak of
friendly or not so
friendly visitors
from another planet.
Movies such as
“Close Encounters of
the Third Kind”
(1976),
“Critters”(1986),
“Signs”
(2002), the Predator
film series,
(starting in 1987),
“War of the Worlds”
(2005),
“Independence Day”
(1996), and “Fallen
Angels” (2007), to
name just a few --
that Hollywood has
made to cash in on
the tremendous
preoccupation with
all things “outer
space.” I believe
the world has been
following the lead
of the prince of
lies to set up just
such a scenario that
may be coming in the
near future as a lie
to the people of
earth.
Let’s face it.
Extraterrestrials
scare the pants off
most of us. These
films don’t
typically portray
our little outer
space invaders as
cute E.T. like
creatures. In fact,
most films portray
them as how they are
truly are thought
of: Evil, murdering,
blood-sucking and
anxious to steal and
destroy our
beautiful earth and
its environment.
I propose a
question. What would
happen if the world
suddenly realized
“in the twinkling of
an eye” that
billions of people
suddenly changed
from mortal to
immortal bodies and
then vanished from
off the face of the
earth? What would
the immediate result
be with such a
scenario? Would
there be utter
chaos? Most
assuredly, people
would be confused
and scared to death.
People have
hypothesized the
calamity that would
befall this world in
untold carnage.
Given the modern age
of machines, imagine
if the operators of
these machines were
suddenly gone. The
untold accidents
around the world
would cram the TV
news, the Internet,
and radio for months
and months. People
would try and make
sense of what had
just happened. What
would be the
accepted
explanation? Shall I
propose something so
outlandish, that if
it happened, a light
bulb would go off in
your head?
The Age of
Aquarius?
Remember the song by
the “Fifth
Dimensions” called
the “Age of
Aquarius?”
It was as a
catchy little tune,
but it was at the
beginning of the New
Age idea of a new
world coming. Many
of these New Agers
believe that mankind
must evolve into a
higher
consciousness, or be
transformed into a
new creature to live
for eternity by
methods such as
transhumanism, or be
downloaded into a
master super
computer (weird!).
Man searches for the
“fountain of youth,”
how to live
forever, forgetting
God and rejecting
the Creator. People
make themselves a
god unto their own
choosing. They have
no need for a god,
or think they do
not, but rely only
on themselves,
calling themselves
“humanist” or the
worshiping of
mankind.
Man has been trying
to deny the need for
God Almighty through
the deceit and lies
of the “prince of
all lies,” Satan the
devil for thousands
of years. In modern
times with all our
technology, with all
our modern
conveniences, and
with science and
discovery expanded
at a breathtaking
pace of doubling of
knowledge every
couple of years—the
modern world has
grown more and more
wicked and further
and further from
God. Celebrity
entertainers (for
lack of a better
description) such as
Lady GaGa promote a
hedonistic lifestyle
where anything goes.
The old saying, “If
it feels good, do
it” could not be any
truer that it is
today.
Singers like this
“Lady” GaGa revel in
their sins. I saw
where she came in to
a concert encased in
a large egg that led
some people to
postulate that she
was promoting a new
beginning for all of
the world’s people
to revel in their
lust and sexual
desires. And she
never fails to amaze
me to the level of
her depravity and
now we have “Hannah
Montana" wanting to
share the passing
torch of this
woman’s abomination
of indecency. Her
dad must be proud.
These celebrities
live for the lust of
the flesh and the
pride of life. Some
people love the
world and could not
care less about what
will happen to them
for all eternity.
They lust for the
here and now. The
apostle John warned
us through the
leading of God when
he penned:
“Do not love the
world or the things
in the world. If
anyone loves the
world, the love of
the Father is not in
him. For all that is
in the world, the
lust of the flesh,
the lust of the
eyes, and the pride
of life, is not of
the Father but is of
the world. And the
world is passing
away, and the lust
of it; but he who
does the will of God
abides forever” (1
John 2:15-17).
Those who perish do
so because they do
not receive or
welcome—the love of
the truth. Because
they do not, God
will send them a
strong delusion, so
that they will
believe the lie and
be condemned. In
reality, God is just
giving them what
they desire anyway.
They prefer carnal
delusion to
spiritual reality,
so God obliges them.
The unrighteous as
portrayed in Romans
chapter 1 desire a
world view without a
Creator so they can
be sexually
liberated and do
abomination in His
sight. God gives
them over to it and
lets them reap the
awful consequences.
In the possible not too distant future; a hypothetical, “What if?”
Suddenly, a news
flash comes over the
Internet. Your radio
is blaring out as
emergency sirens go
off all over your
neighborhood.
Emergency vehicles
are rushing to
accidents right in
your area. You might
wonder, “What has
happened?” You turn
on the TV and the
horror of mass
confusion fills the
screen.
Or in a church
somewhere, people
sit, some
uninterested but
listening to the
preacher relate the
same old story told
many, many times.
But, “Hey, it’s not
for me.” Suddenly,
the congregation
hears something.
Maybe a loud clap of
thunder, or was it a
trumpet blast? They
are not sure. It
brings them back to
reality, as they
look around the
seats of all the
people that were in
the pews but are now
suddenly empty,
except for a few
others who have
sheer terror in
their eyes. Their
mothers or fathers,
maybe their sons,
daughters, or
friends they knew
are suddenly …GONE!
Vanished!
They were given no
warning and they are
left in utter
terror. They MAY or
may not realize with
tears and sobs that
they just missed one
of the most
important events,
the call of the Lord
Jesus Christ in the
Rapture -- to carry
His chosen ones, His
Father’s children to
be with Him, forever
and ever.
I Corinthians
chapter 15:51-53:
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, in a
moment, in the
twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet
shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and
we shall be changed.
For this corruptible
must put on
incorruption, and
this mortal must put
on immortality.”
Wait a minute, what
if you are left
behind? But you
don’t believe that
stuff or let’s say,
did not, so there
has to be a
scientific
explanation for
this, right?
You rush home
the best way you can
and turn on the TV
for news of what has
happened. A leader
of the “free world”
has come on to calm
the nations. Reports
of many missing
people and that
Homeland Security is
on the scene of many
areas of missing
people. The National
Guard in the US is
called upon, or
what’s left of it,
to put down looting
and other criminal
activity.
You check the TV,
and a reporter is
interviewing an
“emergent church”
pastor that makes
the statement that
these people were
removed from earth,
as they stood in the
way of man’s quest
for a peaceful world
and ushering in a
New World Order and
unity of faith. He
states, “Without
these ‘rabble
rousers’ maybe we
can live in peace
and security and
focus on making this
world the paradise
we had envisioned
and have heaven on
earth.” Other than
that, he has no real
explanation.
Switching channels,
a serious looking
gentleman who has
just been elected to
a New World body is
quite familiar to
them. It seems he
came out of nowhere.
He might have been a
unknown senator from
Illinois, or may
have been president
for a while, but now
he heads a world
“Council on Human
Development” headed
by the United
Nations. He
hypothesizes and
backs it up with
so-called scientific
information of
monitoring sightings
of unusual signs in
the skies that have
been being tracked
for some years now.
He may speak of this
as: “It is the
opinion of this
world body that
these missing people
were the victims of
an alien abduction.
We have reports of
saucer type
spacecraft flying in
various places.
Please stay in your
homes and do not
answer to anyone
without official
documentation that
they are from your
local authorities.”
Obviously this is
conjecture, but I
believe this
scenario is
possible, that the
Rapture event will
be somehow explained
away. Many people
will grasp onto any
explanation of what
has just happened.
How it will be
explained away, is
for you that read
this in your
wide-eyed, sheer
terror of the events
that just went down
all around you.
Get ready for what
the Bible calls the
“man of sin, the son
of perdition” (the
Antichrist) who will
eventually lead the
world to worship
him, as a god, and
take the mark of his
word in the forehead
or their right hand.
Before this false
savior, this man of
sin appears, Satan
must lay some
groundwork to
prepare for his
acceptance. What
better way than to
throw the world into
quarreling and
divisive and
wearying confusion?
Could the lie to
calm the people be
attributed to a war
from an invading
race which could be
imminent? People
would then yearn for
some strong and
seemingly wise hands
to set things
straight, so the
nations can “catch
their breath” and
have a span of
peaceful calm. In
its wake, confusion
creates
directionless people
with little desire
to change the status
quo, whose minds are
turned in upon
themselves in an
attempt to keep what
they have. They want
to continue in their
sinful lives and
find answers to this
event that has
turned their world
upside down.
Remember this verse:
“And for this reason
God will send them
strong delusion,
that they should
believe the lie,
that they all may be
condemned who did
not believe the
truth but had
pleasure in
unrighteousness”
(2
Thessalonians
2:11-12).
I propose that the
Antichrist could
possibly come from
an Islamic country,
as the people left
will be ripe for
falling in line with
a major religion
that is left on
earth. All other
rest of the sheeple
will be convinced by
a man who supports
this new leader by
claiming him to be
what this world
needs “a savior.”
This man who will
work closely with
the Antichrist is
called the false
prophet. What better
way to conquer the
world than
competing
forces joining
together to
bring all men into a
one world government
and a one world
religion than the
Antichrist being
Islamic, and the
false prophet being
from an apostate
“Christian” religion
known as the Roman
Catholic Church and
headed by the False
Prophet, the Pope in
Rome? These
religions will join
forces, although for
a short while. The
harlot church will
lead the beast power
to take over the
remaining
population, as both
will compete against
each other for top
political position,
until one is
destroyed (according
to the Word of God).
That harlot church
will be burned with
fire.
Revelation 17:16:
“And the ten
horns which thou
sawest upon the
beast, these shall
hate the whore, and
shall make her
desolate and naked,
and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her
with fire.”
Revelation
13:16-17:
“And he
causeth all, both
small and great,
rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive
a mark in their
right hand, or in
their foreheads: And
that no man might
buy or sell, save he
that had the mark,
or the name of the
beast, or the number
of his name.”
This false Christ,
the Antichrist
ruler, this man of
sin, will do amazing
things in the sight
of men, along with
his false prophet,
possibly the pope in
Rome.”Both will
convince people of
what their
explanation of these
missing people, as
truth. They will
convince sinful men
that they have been
invaded by another
race of aliens and
that this earth must
unite to do battle
with and prevent the
destruction of the
human race. (“Never
let a crisis, go to
waste.” Isn’t that
what some say?)
This time in history
grows darker and
darker. The blood of
many souls will be
spilled for their
profession of faith
in the Lord of the
universe and will
not submit to a
false “god.” It will
be the aim to stamp
all rebellion to the
authority of the
Antichrist and False
Prophet “for the
good of the planet.”
Revelation 16:16:
“And he gathered
them together into a
place called in the
Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.”
Our God and Savior,
at His Second Coming
will make short work
of this vast army
who has come to
fight at Armageddon.
Will each and every
person fighting
believe he if
fighting against a
possible invading
alien world for the
good of this planet
and the survival of
the human species?
Makes for
interesting
discussions if that
lie that has been
broadcasted for the
seven years of the
Tribulation and has
penetrated sinful
men’s minds to
believe and give
allegiance to one
man who they look to
as their “god.” But
Jesus will deliver
the final blow to
this rebellion
against God
Almighty.
Remember the
statement when
America invaded Iraq
with “shock and
awe?”
Jesus coming
back to set up his
kingdom and destroy
all rebellion is the
real SHOCK AND AWE.
Not only is our
Savior coming to
reign and rule with
“shock and awe” it
will be the greatest
destruction that can
ever be imagined.
Even an angel calls
the birds to devour
the flesh of all
people, small and
great. Our Creator
comes back to wage a
righteous war, one
that has been
brewing for 6,000
years due to man’s
hostility and
rebellion to God and
the lies of the
“god” of this world,
Satan, the devil.
By the time this
prophecy is
fulfilled, God will
have had enough of
sin. Jesus Christ
comes back and
treads the winepress
of His wrath, where
the blood spilled,
comes up to the
horse’s bridles. It
is hard to imagine
blood three or four
feet deep and
flowing like a river
in a 20 mile long
valley. Revelation
chapter 14:20,
speaks of this
valley outside
Jerusalem,
“And the winepress
was trodden without
the city, and blood
came out of the
winepress, even unto
the horse bridles,
by the space of a
thousand and six
hundred furlongs.”
Where will you be in this terrible hour?
I write this to all
who may be reading
this commentary
after the event
of billions of
people disappearing,
from this planet
(the Rapture).
Those who are
prepared for the
Rapture before it
happens need not
fear.
But to those
who are frightened,
confused, and
searching for an
explanation, you
have read the
reason, and you have
read the possible
lies that will be
forthcoming after
this event has
caught you
off-guard. It
doesn’t matter which
lie is being
proposed, you have
just been duped into
believing in
yourself and no need
for God, fooled by
Lucifer, the prince
of darkness, to you
own destruction. The
next seven years
will be the most
gruesome time in all
of mankind’s history
as Jesus said in
Matthew chapter
24:21, 22:
“For then shall be
great tribulation,
such as was not
since the beginning
of the world to this
time, no, nor ever
shall be. And except
those days should be
shortened, there
should no flesh be
saved: but for the
elect's sake those
days shall be
shortened.”
If you are reading
this, and the
disappearance of a
billion plus people
has not yet
happened, rest
assured, God will do
what He said He will
do. All I have tried
to do is warn you of
the horror that is
coming, the possible
lies that will be
spoken and of the
lying wonders
designed to deceive
you. If you are this
side of the lies and
this reported
possible “war of the
worlds” then there
is still time to
make Jesus the Lord
of your life.
If you wish to find
out the true path to
everlasting life,
then I invite you to
send me an email
inquiring the path
to take and
instruction in true
biblical faith in
the only Savior of
mankind. Remember
one thing from here
to the events I
attempt to
hypothesize...when
this happens, a lie
WILL be put out in
the media to confuse
you, to calm you,
and yes, to deceive
to you.
Matthew 7:13-14:
“Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for
wide is the gate,
and broad is the
way, that leadeth to
destruction, and
many there be which
go in thereat:
Because strait is
the gate, and narrow
is the way, which
leadeth unto life,
and few there be
that find it.”
I beseech you: Do
not be the one who
follows the broad
way, as that is the
way of the
Antichrist and the
coming Tribulation.
But enter by the way
of the narrow path
and the narrow gate
to everlasting life.
Do not believe
whatever lie is
thrown out for an
explanation of a
billion plus people
gone missing.
Believe on
the Lord Jesus
Christ while the
time is still
available before the
Tribulation begins
with all its
unspeakable horrors.
