We are soon to return to the 'dark days' of Papal rule whereby only the 'legalized' narrative by the Papacy was allowed, and anyone found speaking or even seeking the truth of God's Word was persecuted and even tortured and killed. A recent poll taken in America showed that the majority of people, albeit by a small margin at the moment, believe the first amendment is 'outdated' and want people who commit 'hate speech' to be jailed.

"A majority of Americans believe the First Amendment should be rewritten and are willing to crack down on free speech, as well as the press, according to a new poll ... More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to 'reflect the cultural norms of today' ... Of the 1,004 respondents, young people were the most likely to support curbing free expression and punishing those who engage in 'hate speech.' Nearly 60 percent of Millennials-respondents between the ages of 21 and 38-agreed that the Constitution 'goes too far in allowing hate speech in modern America' ... A majority of Millennials also supported laws that would make 'hate speech' a crime-of those supporters, 54 percent said violators should face jail time." (source)

We are truly heading back into the dark days, where truth is no longer tolerated and those who speak the truth are punished. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn from this world, and Satan is gaining more and more control. And just as God's Word prophesied, the days are coming whereby there will be a 'famine' of God's Word - the truth!

Amos 8:11-12 ...'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.'

Why do you think the likes of Google have gained control of internet search? It is so that the powers of this world can control what people find. The truth is being suppressed and dark days are coming upon this world whereby only those who speak messages of unity with the fallen churches of Babylon and the world will be allowed. And this is exactly what this so called 'religious freedom' movement among the churches is all about - to stop people speaking against the fallen churches and false religions - to STOP THE TRUTH!

"Why were they [the 144,000] so specially singled out? Because they had to stand with a wonderful truth right before the whole world, and receive their opposition, and while receiving this opposition they were to remember that they were sons and daughters of God, that they must have Christ formed within them the hope of glory." (Sermons and Talks, Volume 1, p.72)

God's remnant are the special focus of Satan in the last days, because they are the ones standing before the world, shining the TRUTH of God, exposing the evils and errors among the world and fallen churches. And so Satan is bringing about a condition in the world, whereby the majority of people will turn against the truth and against those who speak it and live it.

Revelation 12:17 ...'And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.'

This is the final group of people who Satan is making war with - those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. They are the ones who 'follow Jesus wheresoever He goeth' (Revelation 14:4). They do not follow the fallen churches. They follow Christ alone. They keep the 7th day Sabbath, while the fallen churches reject God's law and keep Rome's false sabbath - SUNday. They worship the one true God and His Son, while the fallen churches worship the false trinity god of Rome. They gain victory over all sin, and are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, while the fallen churches continue living in sin and will be 'thrown out' of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:11-13). And so Satan is going to war against God's remnant, seeking to make the truth illegal.

And what truth does Satan really HATE in these end times? THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE

Friends, great opposition and persecution is coming to those of us who live and preach the truth, and we must be ready in Christ, clothed with His righteousness and the WHOLE armour of God. But we must not shy away from our duty as God's people. We must boldly stand for the truth, no matter what opposition we face. We must speak the truth in love. We must show the truth in the way we live our lives for Christ. Are you clothed with God's armour, ready for the final battle?
