Shadows of the Beast Quotes

“There is no biblical ground in the New Testament to align the Gospel message with a political party or ideology. Christians are rather taught in the Bible to be salt and light within their nations and societies, and to contend for biblical principles. The politically-related action outlined for Christians in the New Testament are chiefly limited to three essential things: praying for those in power, appealing to Caesar, and being good citizens as a witness and testimony while not bowing to man’s laws when they directly contradict God’s laws.”

“Christians are commanded to pray for those in political leadership, but they have no biblical mandate to use the Christian ministry or the cause of Christ to endorse or campaign for any politician. They are entitled to their own views and opinions, but they are not entitled to equate those views and opinions with Christian dogma.”

“In the Last Days religious seduction will be likewise paralleled with political seduction, and the Church will get double-crossed and betrayed. This is exactly what happened in Israel for placing trust in Pompeii and Alexander the Great. In the end they get an Antiochus Epiphanes, a Pontius Pilate, and a King Herod—all of whom typify and foreshadow the Antichrist. But the worst is yet to come for both Israel and, sadly, for much of the Church. The politicians whom Christians trust will betray them, and the clergy who urge and guide them in this direction will become capable of the most despicable acts imaginable”

“Antichrist Types and Their False Prophet Types In the 1940s Billy Graham publically stated that the three biggest enemies to the Gospel of Christ are Marxism, Mohammedanism (Islam), and Romanism (Roman Catholicism). Billy Graham tragically changed his position. In his 1989 crusade in London, Billy Graham had a Roman Catholic Cardinal (later implicated in the protection of pedophile priests) on his platform at Earl’s Court. The front page of the Chicago newspapers disclosed a declassified secret White House recording of Billy Graham in conversation with Richard Nixon denouncing Jews and showing plainly that both men were vehement anti-Semites. Graham actually said if his Jewish friends only knew what he really thought of them, what would they think as Nixon and Graham discussed the need to stop the influence of the Jews in Hollywood, etc. (In fact, Hollywood has as many left-wing non-Jews as it does Jews.”

“The West ignores the Islamic doctrines of “taqwid” and “hudna.” In taqwid, permissible lying to the infidel (non-Muslim) is not seen as lying but as mere military disinformation in the jihad. The doctrine of hudna means agreeing to a peace which the Muslim understands to be temporary until he can get a strategic advantage, but the infidel believes to be permanent.”

“When Jesus died on the cross, the “velon” (the veil) was torn from the ceiling to the ground. An actual, literal, physical event happened in a literal, physical temple; a supernatural event occurred. But that is not what was most important. The most important thing is what it meant: sinful man was no longer separated from a holy God, and now has access to the Father though the blood of the High Priest. If the Temple is rebuilt—and there is no reason to believe it will not be—and an image is set up; it will only be a reflection of Antichrist being worshiped in Christendom. And it will come about the way it is coming about now—Hellenization: God’s people being swallowed up by popular culture.”

“Even as microchips are being implanted in human arms, and we are rushing toward a global currency, most people—and even most Christians—have little if any idea what it means. Once more, in the early stages the implantation is embarked upon for reasons that are benign or medically beneficial, but progressively it is transformed into a mechanism for economic, political, social, and ultimately religious control.”

“The war on terror is rather a device to defraud citizens of their rights and freedoms, and to give government license to infringe upon their lives in areas it otherwise could not have, including taxation and financial control. Hence government monitoring of Internet communications will facilitate the taxation of online banking and trading of every description.”

“It is vital again to understand that the Antichrist and False Prophet will operate by spiritual seduction, intrigue, and betrayal. As we speak, the spirit of antichrist is preparing the apostate church for the coming of the Antichrist, just as the Holy Spirit is preparing the faithful Church for the return of Christ.”

“Differences and Similarities What the faithful Church will have in common with the Maccabees is that many will join with them in hypocrisy. There will be a series of dangerous, internal betrayals. The lesson is that, just because someone is against what you are against does not automatically mean they are for what you are for. Just as in the days of the Maccabees, there will be sinister characters playing both sides—unfaithful people who will align themselves with the faithful remnant as a vehicle for advancing their own interests.”

“Keeping the World Out of the Gospel An overriding principle in understanding how the Antichrist will be identified is the need to keep referring back to the fact that just as the Holy Spirit is preparing the faithful Church for the coming of Christ, the spirit of antichrist is preparing the harlot church for the coming of the Antichrist and False Prophet. This diabolical strategy includes an across-the-board erosion of scriptural standards of ascertaining and defending truth, and the erosion of godly moral standards once the importance of truth has been diminished. Among other things, we note the castigation of doctrine in the Christian media by Paul Crouch of TBN, who denounced doctrine as “excrement” using a vulgar expletive in a broadcast. Doctrine is in fact “didaskin,” that is, the teaching of Jesus.”

“The New Testament uses typology, allegory, and symbolism to illustrate and illuminate doctrine; a doctrine is never based on these things. For instance, in 1 Corinthians Jesus is our “Passover Lamb” (1 Co. 5:7). In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist announces, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (Jn. 1:29). And in Peter’s Epistle he says, “…as of a lamb unblemished and spotless” (1 Pe. 1:19). To God, one man without sin is worth more than all the men with sin; that is how one could die for all. When we see Christ in the Passover demonstration, and we understand the symbolism of the Passover meal at the Last Supper, we will understand the Lord’s Supper in a way we never could before.”

“In the New World Order (a term partially coined by Tri-Lateralist president George H.W. Bush, a bedfellow with dangerous and intolerant Saudi Wahhabists) “political correctness” will increasingly demand “religious correctness.” Opposition to the interfaith and ecumenical agenda (championed in Evangelical circles by Chuck Colson and Rick Warren) will increasingly be legally viewed as a hate crime. This is all being controlled by the spirit of antichrist setting the stage for the arrival of the ultimate Antichrist.”

“The Book of Proverbs is a book in Hebrew which we call The Book of Mashals or Mishla. The first half of a proverb is the mashal, and the spiritual explanation in back of it is the nimshal. “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout” (that is the mashal) “so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion” (that is the nimshal) (Prov. 11:22).”
