      So far, we have established through the Bible that there is an on-going war between the kingdom of darkness and God's people. At the end of this world, Satan and his demons will destroy all church buildings and make Christianity illegal. They will seek to kill or imprison all Christians. The Bible calls it the "abomination of desolation" spoken of by Daniel the prophet. Matt. 24:15; Dan. 8:11, 24; 9:26, 27; 11:31; 12:11.

        We have dismantled the belief that we have no chance against Satan because he was an archangel second in command and power only to God. We've also taken apart the idea that all true Christians will be "raptured" away into heaven to escape the coming tribulation and therefore, the church need not learn to stand and fight against Satan and his army of demons. It is a false hope.

        We need to fall in love with God again, humble ourselves, repent and draw closer to Him.

        If there is no "rapture" before tribulation, every saint needs to learn how to bind up Satan's strong men in the mid-heavens, cast out devils, and be led by the Holy Spirit. We will all have to go through Tribulation or perish. The Bible says that before Jesus comes back, there will be a falling away or apostasy of the church. 2 Thess. 2:3. Many will be deceived.

         At the same time, Satan's beast will war against the saints and overcome them.

        And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

      And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty andtwo months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

            And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

            And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

            If any man have an ear, let him hear. Rev. 13:4-9.

            Daniel 7:21 and 25 say,

            I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

          And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

          There is not a single scripture in both Old and New Testaments that says that there will be no war against Satan's beast because the saints will escape into heaven before Tribulation in a secret coming of the Lord in the clouds. At the same time, there are many direct scriptures meant by the writer to tell us that we are in a war against Satan's kingdom.

         The war against Christianity started centuries ago. Mind-altering drugs, homosexuality, the sexual revolution, wars and violence, witchcraft and female dominance are all part of the war. A great spiritual tsunami has hit the world as floods of demons have been sent by the dragon. At the same time, the church has no clue as what is going on.

          Years ago, one of the members of our church had the following dream:

         I saw myself approaching a two-story house. The house looked very old and gray. The paint was peeling off and the door on the bottom floor had fallen off its hinges, barely hanging on by the top hinge. I entered the building and walked upstairs where I saw people that I recognized as Christians lying all over the place fast asleep. Then I heard a sound of marching - trump, trump, trump. I ran to the plate glass window and looked outside. In the distance I could see a huge army of demons. They looked like giant, green grasshoppers. They were marching in perfect unison with all eyes facing the front. Each had a determined look and a weapon in its hand. They were coming to the house. I knew that it was Satan's army sent to destroy the church.
