America’s Spiritual Decline :: by Daymond Duck

The spirit of Antichrist has been in the world at least since God said the seed of woman would bruise Satan’s head (Gen. 3:15). God’s curse was the beginning of a great earthly struggle between good and evil. In the beginning, it focused on preventing the first coming of Jesus. It is now focused on preventing the Second Coming of Jesus. It will continue until this world is destroyed by fire (Matt. 24:35; II Pet. 3:10).

The Antichrist won’t be revealed until the church is raptured, but the spirit of Antichrist is already here (II Thess. 2:6, 7; I Jn. 4:3). It is anti-God, anti-Jesus, anti-Truth, anti-Christian, the Apostasy, the falling away, the departure from the faith, the emerging church, liberalism, humanism, globalism, inclusiveness, replacement theology, non-Christian religions and the like.

Among other things, this wicked spirit will lead to perilous times, blasphemy, fierceness and despising those that are good in the last days (II Tim. 3:1-4). It will make the world more dangerous (wars, nuclear weapons, more deadly pestilences etc.). Humanity will become more despicable (ungodly or contemptuous of God). People will become more brutal (behead people, burn people alive, cut babies in two); and society will become more intolerant of those who serve God at the end of the Church Age (persecution).

Instead of a worldwide revival with the church converting the world, the people on planet Earth will move farther away from Jesus until all that will live godly in Christ will suffer persecution (II Thess. 2:3; Rev. 3:16; II Tim. 3:12). Christians all over the Middle East are being persecuted right now and it is a growing problem in the U.S.

Jesus, the Disciples, Paul and many of the early Christians were persecuted. A pastor that I know recently preached on “Preparing for the Coming Persecution.” Rev. Franklin Graham recently said that he is concerned about “persecution in this country” [the U.S.]. He added that, “We’ve already seen many laws that have been passed that restrict our freedom as Christians. I believe it’s going to get worse.”

About two weeks ago there was testimony before a U.S. Senate subcommittee that the U.S. received about seven million immigrants in fiscal 2014. They came from many places, but most were Hispanics and some were Muslims.

God loves all of them.  He wants all of them to know that Jesus died for everyone’s sins. He wants all of them to accept Jesus as their Savior and to go to heaven.

But it should be understood that seven million immigrants, plus the multiplied millions more that are expected to arrive in the next 3 to 4 years, are going to impact the already failing spirituality of theU.S.

No one can deny that there are places in the world where the church is growing, but the U.S. is not one of them. Many pastors say that they think the Apostasy has already started in the U.S. They see very little difference between most of their church members and the lost. Apathy and moral failure are already widespread in U.S.churches.

This is the point: The growing persecution and spiritual decline ofAmerica is bad enough already, but it is going to get much worse in the future. It is difficult to say how many Muslims are coming into the U.S. when people are saying the number is much higher than our government is letting on. And Pres. Obama has already said he will increase it even more. It is sad to know that Syrian Muslims are being brought in, but Syrian Christians are being refused entry. Bringing non-Christians in and keeping Christians out changes things.

Increasing the population of Muslims is going to mean more mosques; more demands to stop monitoring mosques, more demands to stop profiling Muslims; more demands to bring in extended families of Muslims; more demands for Muslim prayers before Congress, at city council meetings and the like.

It will mean more demands for Sharia Law: more attempts to get rid of the Bible, portray Christians as hate-mongers and extremists, send Christians to sensitivity training, get rid of chaplains in the military and the like; more demands to change school textbooks, lunch menus, etc. and perhaps more terrorist attacks, especially on churches.

Muslims are coming (and being brought) to the U.S. for many reasons, but the primary reason they are coming is to fundamentally transform the U.S. into a Muslim nation.

I have been to Mexico and seen many faithful Hispanic Christians. The vast majority is nominal at best. About 75-80%, say they are Catholic. They say they are Catholic because their parents were Catholic or they believe they were born Catholic. But their Catholic beliefs are far from traditional mainline Christianity. In many cases, their beliefs have been blended with ritualism, magic, voodoo, varied Indian cultural practices and the like.

Several years ago, a missionary took my wife and me to a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico and a voodoo ceremony was being performed in the church. I am not against legalized immigration (and I don’t blame anyone for seeking a better life), but I am saying that letting 25-30 million people with many kinds of strange beliefs come into the U.S. in the next 4 to 5 years (and not letting Christians in) will decrease the percentage of true Christians in the U.S.

Understand that the Bible is not wrong. Every jot and tittle will be fulfilled including what it says about persecution. Understand too, that what Islamic terrorists do in other countries (behead Christians,burn churches, burn people alive, cut babies in two, sell people into slavery) they will also do in the U.S. Their threats to raise the Islamic State flag over the White House and to blow up the White House should be taken seriously.

The spirit of Antichrist is already here and a flood of epic proportions is on the way. It will further weaken the U.S. spiritually and we should be concerned for our Lord, our children, our grandchildren, others and ourselves.

America’s New Lower Class :: by Daymond Duck

Pres. Obama’s half-truths, false accusations and blatant dishonesty are clear reminders that lying, deceit, false prophets, false teaching and the like are end of the age signs. His corruption, scams and lack of transparency are constantly before us. They cause me to doubt and question almost everything he says and does.

I was thinking about this when several recent stories seemed to come together in my mind and spirit:

First, I recalled that Pat Buchanan said “President Barack Obama is planning to use his executive action granting amnesty to potentially five million illegal immigrants at the end of this summer [2014] in an attempt to ‘transform’ America by flooding it with “natural-born Democratic voters” (Breitbart TV, Aug. 4, 2014). It is now widely known that Pres. Obama issued an executive order in Nov. 2014 to do just that.  A lawsuit was filed to reverse it that is still being litigated.

Second, about nine days later, Jerome Corsi said, “Regardless of why illegal aliens enter the U.S. from Latin America, the fact remains that their presence in large numbers could make it much easier to integrate the U.S. with Mexico” (WND, 8-13-2014). I think he said that for this reason:

These new Hispanic voters will increase the percentage of people in the U.S. that will support the merger of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into the North American Union and they will decrease the percentage of people in the U.S. that will oppose the merger. These unsuspecting Hispanics are pawns in an Obama scheme to garner support for the North American Union. Don’t forget that Henry Kissinger said that Pres. Obama has been chosen to bring in the New World Order.

Third, Warren , Mass reported that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) was seeking bids to purchase stock material for 34 million ID cards because they believe Pres. Obama plans to let millions of Hispanics into the U.S. over the next five years (thenewamerican.com, Oct. 20, 2014). This begs a question about how long Pres. Obama plans to stay in office, but nevertheless it indicates that the current suit over five million illegal immigrants is just the start of a coming tsunami of Hispanic immigration.

Fourth, Judi McLeod reported on a Feb. 28, 2015 interview Mark Levine had with talk show host Susan Payne (canadafreepress.com, Mar. 3, 2015). Ms. Payne and others reportedly were allowed to listen in on three conference calls between White House officials (and others) as they discussed a plan to bring millions of Hispanic immigrants into the U.S. to develop a country within a country and fundamentally transform the U.S.

The White House plans to protect these Hispanic immigrants from deportation and classify them as refugees so they can qualify for government handouts until they become U.S. citizens (and the same plan will be followed to bring in multitudes of Muslims).

Existing laws and rules will be changed to force communities to accept these Hispanics and Muslims; to deny grants, benefits, etc. to those who oppose this; to allow those who oppose this to be sued; and at some point, to give these Hispanics and Muslims preference over existing U.S. citizens. Put another way, in the future there will be two nations inside the U.S.

1) A nation of Hispanic and Muslim immigrants with preferred status and benefits, and 2) A nation of second class citizens who have lived here all their lives and won’t qualify for preferred status and many benefits. Pres. Obama plans to force the Border Patrol and ICE to keep the border open and not deport illegal aliens, and he plans to ignore court rulings that go against this scheme. This will fundamentally transform America.

Fifth, Tony Lee reported on Mar. 3, 2015 that USCIS officials told a Senate subcommittee they processed almost seven million immigration-related applications in Fiscal Year 2014 alone (breitbart.com, Mar. 3, 2015). They don’t have the resources to check out seven million people so many of these applicants faced very little scrutiny.

Seven million immigrants in one year will change the demographics of the U.S. in a hurry. Giving them benefits costs a ton of money and there could be a lot of terrorists in a group that size. On this same day, the Republican controlled House approved full funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Sixth, Stephen Dinan reported that Pres. Obama’s lawyers have admitted that they misled the court on how many amnesty applications have been approved under Pres. Obama’s new program (washingtontimes.com, Mar. 5, 2015).  It is difficult to imagine what is coming, if the president thinks he doesn’t have to obey the courts or that he can lie to the courts and get away with it.

Seventh, although I haven’t seen an article along these lines, I suspect that Pres. Obama, Eric Holder and George Soros brought in Al Sharpton and others to intervene in the Trayvon Martin (Sanford FLA) and Michael Brown (Ferguson MO) cases because they want to insure the support of the African American community when they elevate the status of the Hispanic and Muslim immigrants and lower the status of non-black existing citizens.

I see no other reason for Mr. Obama and the others to pre-maturely condemn innocent men, stir up African American opposition to the police and non-blacks, cry racial profiling and to call for new mechanisms to deal with police misconduct. If I was a betting man, I would bet that these new mechanisms are Muslim-friendly.

Eighth, it grieves me to admit that I believe that the purge of America’s military leaders, the efforts to weaken the New York police department, the dismantling of the Ferguson MO police department, the ambush-style shooting of two Ferguson MO policemen, the efforts to ban guns and certain kinds of ammunition, the efforts to change the morality of this country and Pres. Obama’s belief that the U.S. flag is a symbol of oppression are tactics that figure into all of this.

In summation, the demographics of the U.S. are deliberately being changed so that many who are working hard, living right, and helping build and defend America may soon be America’s new lower class citizens. And many who contributed nothing or very little may soon reap the benefits and dominate them.

Everyone should be very concerned especially women, gays, non-Muslims, young people and those who can be threatened with losing their government benefits if they refuse to toe the line.
