Tremendous forces are coming together in the political, religious, and business realms to develop a new philosophy that can be accepted by all in preparation for the Antichrist to take his seat in mystical Babylon to be worshipped by all. Know the truth and it will set you free. If we don’t embrace the truth alone, then we will be easily overcome by the tremendous forces descending upon the planet. These powerful forces, unrecognized as the powers of darkness, will lead the entire world into bondage. This bondage is accomplished by exchanging the truth for a lie. This lie is so deceptive most people will not even recognize it as a lie. The powers of darkness are manifesting this lie in every area of society. This is not for some future dispensation but has already begun. If we have eyes to see, then we will see this lie already manifested in the political, religious, and business realms. These powerful forces have been directing people from around the entire world for some time now by filling their minds with lies masquerading as a new truth or an amazing philosophy. This is a philosophy so profoundly intriguing that it awakens the old sin nature, which in time pridefully witnesses the reawakening of the importance of self, or self-importance.

This new self-importance in the religious, political, and business realm believes that self now has the ability to do everything without the restraints of religion and the permission of the gods, or the One True God. It believes that it can solve all of the world’s problems and the ailments of mankind. If we had eyes to see, then we would readily admit that mankind is already attempting to do all this without God. We have seen it in psychology causing humanity to trust in mankind’s ability as opposed to trusting in God alone to fix all their emotional and psychological problems. We have also seen it in the pharmaceutical industry that is creating cures for every physical and psychological ailment causing humanity to trust in mankind’s ability as opposed to trusting in God alone who can solve every emotional and psychological problem known to man, along with great wisdom in caring for our own bodies. This new belief or popular philosophy has allowed mankind to ascend to the throne room of his own heart. It has given him the liberty to jettison all the old religions to build a brave new world without God. This new philosophy has already spread quickly to nearly every person on the planet who has not surrendered completely to the Lordship of Christ.

The only thing that will set humanity free from their bondage is to return to the truth of classic Christianity that says, “We can’t, but He can; and if we don’t, then He will; but if we will (do it in our own strength and power), then He won’t (do His mighty works through us).” Simply put, we must trust God to lead and do everything through us. This is how we were originally created. We were never created to go it alone. Yet, none of this is possible until we get off the throne, the throne room of our own hearts. Now, for most, even for Christians, this is a pretty scary thing, because when we get off the throne, then we must follow God’s way completely. We will never be able to fix the world’s problems, but we can allow God to fix ours. This will be tough because you don’t have anyone to rely on but God. Even in tragic circumstances or persecution, God will not leave His faithful children alone to face life’s problems. True faithfulness is following all of God’s principles, precepts, commandments, and the direction of the Holy Spirit during your most tragic circumstance. When you sincerely allow God to get back on the throne of your heart, you will be a peculiar people, a holy, and faithful remnant (I Peter 2:9).

To allow Christ on the throne in our hearts we must die to self. The Bible says, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). I can tell you that most Christians have no idea what it means to die to self. This will be a complete reversal of everything we have ever been taught in the world. From the cradle, we have been taught to take the initiative and do it ourselves. We were taught at an early age that we have the power to make a change in our lives, to be whatever we envision ourselves to be. We were taught that we have the power to solve all of our own problems by studying hard, doing research, and making the right choices. You can see that dying to self and trusting in Christ to lead you in every decision is completely opposite of everything we have been taught.

Most Christians will allow Christ to rule only if it’s an emergency, while they sit on the throne of their heart the rest of the time making their own decisions without Christ. On the other hand, to be truly known by Christ (Matthew 7:21-23) is to allow Him to reign in our lives every moment of every day. Believe me, when you do this you will see some remarkable changes in your life. In our day humanity is facing some of its greatest challenges from Global Warming to new and deadlier viruses descending upon all of humanity. Mankind is not turning to God to fix these problems or to understand what caused them in the first place. No, with mankind on the throne in his own heart, he is attempting to fix all the problems without God. Although mankind is unable to really fix any of his problems, the powers of darkness will convince all of humanity that he is the only one capable of doing it. The Antichrist will put the onus back on mankind for not having enough faith in himself. He will say, “Get back on the throne!” “Have faith in yourself, you can do it!” This is the current thinking in today’s world, this is the new philosophy, introduced by the powers of darkness. This is the lie from the pit of hell to lead us into bondage and a slave to the Antichrist. As they listen to the lie of the new world philosophy, then they will be led into an even deeper bondage to the coming Antichrist as he takes his seat of power in mystical Babylon. The Antichrist will give a face to this new world philosophy. He will be consumed with his own pride believing that he has all the solutions to fix the problems facing the world. He will appear to be one of the most intelligent men in the world as he enlists other learned men from the political, religious, and business realms to lead the entire world to sit upon the throne in the throne room of their own hearts.

On the other hand, God in His infinite wisdom has already given us the solution to all the problems facing a world headed for complete destruction caused by the increasing number of forest fires, heat waves, earthquakes, and massive flooding in our cities. He has already given us the solution to the global blight on humanity caused by the increasingly fatal viruses and diseases. When we allow Christ to take His rightful place upon the throne of our hearts, then we will listen to Him alone. As we listen to Christ, we understand that there is only one solution to their problems. They must repent of the many sins that have caused all their problems in the first place. Yes, sin has caused all of their problems! As God’s children, we must yell that from the rooftop of every building. No, electric cars and windmills will not solve their problems. No, new and improved vaccines will not solve their problems. The only thing that will help is allowing Christ to take His rightful place upon the throne in our hearts. When we do, then we will come out from among them and be separate. We will become a living example of Christ living in us to the glory of God. We will become a living example to the power of love and forgiveness. We will become a living example of turning the other cheek and going the extra mile by utilizing the principles of non-retaliation (Matthew 5:38-42).  We will be a living example of the health, emotional, and psychological wellbeing of allowing Christ to reign in our lives. We will be a peculiar people to the glory of God. The truth shall make you free.

Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32)
