The Great Push

There is a great push coming: are you ready for it?

Let me begin with some background.

As some of you may know, I am a Seventh-Day Adventist. Seventh-Day Adventists used to believe rather unique things about the end of the world. Unique in that they’re not shared by other evangelical Christians. For instance, did you know that SDAs believe that the Millennium will occur after the Second Coming of Christ? Or that there will be no secret rapture?

The Seventh-Day Adventists also believe that the keeping of the true Bible Sabbath will separate the redeemed from the lost. The Roman Catholic Church has declared that they, not Christ, changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. This goes in concert with the description of the little horn of Daniel 7 and the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 (among their blasphemous claims against God and persecution of His people). In Revelation 13, John also states that there will arise another beast, one from the land, that will cause the world to worship the first beast and force all to receive the Mark of the Beast. While most believe that this is a physical mark, Seventh-Day Adventists used to believe that this mark is an obedience to the counterfeit Sabbath, the one that Rome changed and called ‘the LORD’s day’, whether by conviction (‘in their forehead’) or by coercion (‘in their hand’).

Now we come to our present day and what this all means. We have all seen in the past eight years a great shifting of sentiment in the United States, if not across the world. Secular humanism is waging war against Christianity on all fronts: in the classrooms of our schools and universities, in the pulpits of our churches, on the podiums of the political spectrum, and of course in the media. Little by little the basic Christian truths – those things which most, if not all, Christian denominations hold in common – are being forsaken to be better accepted by the world. But while the Christians are giving, the secular world is taking. Becoming more and more bold in its warfare, they have declared the United States to no longer be a Christian nation, and demand that all those in her borders submit to the new secular humanist ideas of total tolerance, or else face the sting and lash of lawsuit and public discrimination: in socialist countries, the end goal of secular humanism, Christianity is met with outright violence.

In stark contrast, the secular world has opened their arms in wide welcome to the Muslim world. Unlike Christians, who believe that the military marching orders of the Old Testament were finite and that the death penalties of the Torah may be waived through faith in the sacrifice of Jeshua HaMessiah, the Muslim world continues to uphold verbatim the marching orders of their prophet mohammed. Actions that would instantly call for ire and total censure, were they carried out by Christians, are being carried out daily in the Muslim world, and the secular world is silent. They continue to preach to us that these radicals are in fact peace-loving people, who only want to have a better life: and that we should be shamed into giving them that better life without any stipulations or any oath of fealty to the new government into which they chose to migrate.

But there is a push back coming. Not all Christians have been content to be submissive to the tyranny of secular humanism. While secular humanists are quick to cite historical examples of past abuses by those they consider to be inferior – namely Anglo-Americans, Christians and heterosexuals – they have forgotten the historical example of the early Christian church: that is that persecution does nothing to halt the growth of faith. On the contrary, it fuels the growth of faith. That has been happening throughout the world: in socialist countries Christianity has seen unprecedented growth, and in the US Christians every day become more and more frustrated at the attacks made against them by the secular humanist crusaders. A reckoning is soon coming.

At first glance, this sounds well and good. Of course it would be a good idea to have secular humanists cease their attacks on true, Bible-keeping Christians. Of course it would be good to express our faith without fear of censure or harassment. But it will not end there.

Like a pincer attack, secular humanism and mohammedism move to wipe out the United States. Whether they are allowed to or not will determine how many lives are lost in the push back. Because, make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen: America will rise to defend herself against the mohammedan threat. And when that threat is neutralized, they will turn on secular humanism. Now viewed as the heroes, having defended America from invasion, the Christian world will push back against secularization. They will argue that it was so bad way back then that no true Christian would ever want to go back to that, and thus garner universal support from the Christian world in their wake: those who reject this new ecumenicism will be viewed as separatists, enemies of peace, love, Christian brotherhood and fellowship as a whole. This will go hand in hand with the ecumenism with the Roman Catholic Church that is happening now: many denominations will openly return to the Catholic Church, until Protestantism is only a memory. It will be at that time that Rome, assuming the guise of a protective mother to defend her flock, will pass a nation-wide law forcing all “faithful” Christians to attend church on Sunday, the so-called “LORD’s day”.

The signs are around us: it will happen. Will it happen within my lifetime? Will it happen faster with their political candidate or with mine? Like Jeshua said: the exact date is not known, which is why He gave us Revelation, so that we might know the signs of the end times and not be caught off-guard when the day of Judgment comes “as a thief in the night.” For, if the good man knew when the thief would come, he would watch and not suffer to be robbed.
