The prophet Isaiah was used by God to speak a word about the end that is often ignored or glazed over. God shows him the condition of not only the earth, but its inhabitants well before the great and terrible “day of Yehovah”. Isaiah said this, “For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you.”
The darkness he speaks of in the first part of the sentence is the saturation of the kingdom of darkness as never before to the point that it virtually overtakes and consumes the entire globe. It becomes the ruling force. The deep darkness he refers to is the insidious infiltration and overtaking of the hearts and minds of man as he gives himself over to the will of the evil one, believing he’s spiritually, socially and morally right, all the while steeped in deception. And like the frog in the kettle, he is slowly and comfortably boiled alive. Though it may take years of desensitization, once achieved it will rule mans mind completely making way for the consumption of evil and the total abandonment of all reason and truth. At that time, God will have no place in the mass of humanity. Madness will overtake sensibility; insanity will become the norm. Shock and horror will arise with no conviction within the heart, and mankind, as a whole, will be doomed and condemned; becoming a sacrifice upon the alters of hell for the great destruction of all living things.
The voices of demons and dark angles will be so dominant that they will block all sources of light and truth. They will speak in the language of perception using deceptive persuasion to tear to shreds the fabric of righteousness. They know the power of repetitive phrasing and as a result know how to cause the mind, God’s super computer placed between our ears, to question God, His existence and His story of redemption until one so doubts the truth altogether, that he fully believes the lie. They are programming masters creating viruses that shut down the hard drives in our heads until the virus itself takes over every cell, deleting all internal sensors and dismantling all warning capabilities that protect us from the lie and leads us towards God. Ultimately enslaving the mind to Lucifer himself.
They are hunters and trappers, evil taskmasters and overlords. Though you can’t see them now, they are everywhere. And the day fast approaches when what was hidden from our eyes is suddenly seen by all. By then, it will be too late; the trumpets will have sounded. There is not a horror movie ever created that could capture the absolute terror these dark princes and their unholy beasts will unleash.
Scare you? It should! As a matter of fact, it should terrify you. Why? Because it’s not just out there in the world somewhere feeding on some obscure, third-world depraved population; it’s weaving its way through society, even the minds of those who claim allegiance to God. The virus has spread throughout the "house" itself. Insidiously it dwells within those who have an appearance of righteousness. How can you tell? The litmus test is arrogance and hubris, a complete lack humility! A contaminated self-righteousness that claims superiority as it drunkenly staggers from compromise. And ultimately, the defining characteristic of all… a complete power outage.
What is my point and why promote such a frightening vision? Because what is happening now, right before our eyes every single day, is the manifestation of all I’ve just described. It will only increase in the years ahead until it becomes the norm in society. Until we become so numb, that we no longer recognize its presence. That’s called saturation! Sadly, we ignore it or turn a blind eye. We don’t want to be bothered. We no longer fight! We surrender without even waving a white flag.
Take for instance the story I read this morning. Two 12 year old girls were seduced by the voice of a demon named “Slenderman” in some dark game commanding them to do an unthinkable and insane act: kill one of their best girlfriends. I have put the link here so that you can read for yourself.(https://www.cnn.com/2014/06/04/opinion/robbins-slenderman-stabbing-girls)
This is no anomaly. These are not psychologically disturbed girls! That’s exactly what darkness wants us to believe. These girls have been demonically overtaken and seduced into surrendering themselves to the beast and his bidding. What you will find interesting in the dialogue of the article is that these two girls consciously wrestled with good and evil, right and wrong; whether to take her life or letting their friend live. These types of things are happening minute by minute around the globe. And it will get worse! Children are the prey. Brainwashing, mind control, or radicalization… the future is always the children. And when you see the rise of children doing inconceivable evil… know the crossover has happened.
I appeal to all of you who read what I have written. I plead with you to turn to God and ask Him to open your eyes. Not just any god, the Only God! Ask Him to show you the truth of what’s actually going on around you. In the movie the Matrix, the main character, Neo, is offered a choice between two pills. One blue, the other red. The blue pill would remove all remembrance of what was taking place at that moment forever, returning him to life as he knew it. The red pill would permanently open his eyes to reality, the Matrix, from which he would never be able to not know. Altered and aware, forever.
Today, if you hear God's voice and don’t harden your heart, He will make you aware of what presses down upon the whole earth, and the darkness that is permeating and penetrating the hearts and minds of men, women and children, everywhere.
You can only change you… start there.
