No Religion is the Way to Peace?

Revelation 13:6-7

I noticed that the global agreement on religion is the same, that it fosters bigotry, dogma, intolerance, conflict, and wars. The consensus of the international community is that without religion there would be much more peace in the world. John’s Lennon song, “Imagine” has become a theme song protesting for world peace, “Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do, nothing to kill or die for and no religion too, imagine all the people living life in peace…” That is how the beast operates, in the name of peace and by boasting its greatness over every religion and every government. “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.” Revelation 13:6-7

Everybody who lives for the beast are given what to say, do, think, and feel and they all mirror the same sentiments as those spoken in the song, “Imagine.” Their idea of peace is to eliminate God’s love, the Word of God, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and anything to do with the message of the Cross. Human decency goes out the door as well, and persecution of Christians follow. While national and international policies are broad and makes no direct mention of a specific religion, the direct impact locally guts the Word of God of all Gospel essentials. Social media sites scarcely have any categories for individual Christian pages, and there are constant complaints about the nature of the internet. Church centers have become gathering places to teach the way of the internal government, to teach the congregation and be supportive of those who live for the beast. The words sound like words of peace, but they are full of blasphemy and bring affliction to those who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ. They frown on those who reject the beast but smile on those who live by it.

The beast is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Our body is the temple of God, created to be the home of the Holy Spirit, but the beast sits within people by the ability to impose upon us what to think, feel, say, and do.

The global order doesn’t need God’s Son Jesus Christ, but I do. Jesus is returning soon.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. 
Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.’”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
