ANOTHER BIG STEP FOR THE CHURCH-STATE IMAGE OF THE BEAST - IRS NOW TO ALLOW DIRECT POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT FROM CHURCHES
NEWS UPDATE - 14th July 2025
The church-state image of the beast in America is certainly alive, but
as of yet lacks the real power to 'speak and cause' the inhabitants of the world to worship it and bow down to it's dictates. That is changing and we
are moving ever closer to the fulfillment of the prophecy in Revelation 13 regarding the 'speaking' of the image of the beast:
"IRS moves to allow political engagement from churches, in a win for evangelical groups - The IRS on Monday said that religious leaders could endorse political candidates in churches and other religious centers without losing their tax-exempt status, carving out an exemption from a decades-old tax code provision prohibiting nonprofits and churches from direct political engagement." (source).
This has been a sticking point with churches over the years, due to the threat from the IRS that they would lose their tax-exempt status if they engaged in political affairs. But that threat is now being removed and the door is wide open to allow churches direct engagement in political affairs. What did Revelation 13 tell us the church-state image would do? 'SPEAK and cause.' With the IRS tax threat, this hindered the churches, preventing the them from fully 'speaking.' Now with this threat removed, they can fully 'speak' and together with the state, 'cause' the world to bow to it's dictates and receive the mark of the beast.
We reported recently how Trump vowed to 'make America more religious' (see here). And give the churches POWER like they never had before.
The church-state image is to 'SPEAK AND CAUSE.' The churches will 'speak' and 'influence' the state power, and the state will 'cause' by legislative power. Also, Revelation 13 says the image will 'cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.' WORSHIP is 'religion.' And to kill people who will not join in with the worship of this image, is FORCED religion. Do you see? This is what is coming in America. And ultimately the church-state image in America is to cause the world to bow to the dictates of Roman Catholicism (Papal Rome - the first beast). Which will include forced Sunday sabbath keeping and trinity worship. In opposition to God's true seventh day Sabbath (our Saturday) and worship of the true one true God (the Father) and His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ).
This uniting with the state that goes on in the churches is a massive deception. It is the 'fornication' that fallen Babylon was prophesied to commit in Revelation 17. We have NOTHING to do with the state power. We belong to the kingdom of God, which as Jesus said is 'not of this world.' But the churches are repeating what the Jews of old did in choosing man to reign over them instead of God (1 Samuel 8:7, Luke 19:14). And as Revelation 13 says, Satan is going to use great DECEPTION to make the world think this movement is of God and deceive the world into this false, forced worship.
Revelation 13:13-14 ...'And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast.'
This means we must be grounded in the truth, as Jesus said they will show "great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (Matthew 24:24). So we MUST put on the 'FULL armour of God' in order for us to be able to stand in that day of deception. Time is running out. We are headed for the final test. Let us not be found wanting. Let us be fully prepared in Jesus Christ, fully surrendered to Him, so that HE can make us ready.
