The Origin of Lawlessness
by Pastor Paul M. Sadler
"What do you attribute the lawlessness to that currently plagues the nations?"
It
is a product of the mystery of iniquity, which is Satan's plan to
undermine all God-given authority. He has been effectively working
behind the scenes since the days of the Apostle Paul to bring the world
to a state of chaos, with a specific purpose in mind (II Thes. 2:1-12).
The
false religions that Satan introduced throughout the centuries all
stand in direct opposition to the true Church, where righteousness is
extolled as a virtue. Contrariwise, in the name of religion, which Karl
Marx called "the opiate of the people," terrorists shed the blood of
innocent victims to promote their ungodly ideology. Sadly, we are only
witnessing the tip of the iceberg. Make no mistake, the primary target
of these extreme jihadists is Christians. Simply watch their training
clips, and you will find that most of the images they are shooting at
have the Cross of Christ embossed on them.
Satan
also loves to sing the praises of theological liberalism! The Word of
God that once influenced the lives of both the believer and unbeliever
is no longer held up as the final authority. The new normal is there are
no absolutes any more. The mantra of our day is, "Let every man do
what's right in his own eyes" (cf. Judges 21:25). As a result, our
streets have become like the wild west with shootings and murders
commonplace.
With
no spiritual mooring to the Word of God, marriage has become optional
with more and more couples living together. This is the seed plot for
immorality and pornography which have become rampant, leaving the souls
of men and women burdened with guilt and a sense of worthlessness. Satan
has successfully undermined the authority of the home, which is
foundational to any society. Every time he destroys a home it weakens
the moral fabric of a nation.
Clearly
Satan is behind these evil influences and every other evil known to
mankind. He merely sets things in motion, and the flesh is more than
willing to accommodate whatever sinful pursuit that is put before it.
The goal of the evil one is to bring the world to the precipice of utter
confusion. When he accomplishes this objective, he will introduce the
Antichrist after the Rapture of the Church. The man of sin will step
onto the stage of the world as a man of peace, with all the answers to
the world's ills that have eluded men. He will be an overnight sensation
being the Devil's "Answer Man."
