Paving the way for the Antichrist

When I was young and naïve,I used to think because I had a mind of my own, everyone else did.So when I read the verse in Revelation about, "all the Earth followed after the beast",I thought, "how can everyone think as one ,wouldn't anyone sense something otherwise and resist it?'But of course, as you get older you're not so "idealistic" and you're more "realistic".And I began to see more and more this robotic way of thinking,where a "trend" is started, and before you know it,one mindlessly copies the other until it's hard to believe there's anyone who DOESN'T do it.This robotic mindset. that takes your individuality away..yoga...astrology. reincarnation ,it's "in" to say, "in another life I was a..".being intensely interested in every move Meghan Markle makes...a psychological addiction to drinking coffee in the morning....metal pieces in the tongue...wearing pants with holes in them at the knee....I've also seen whole races and religions who vote for the same political party, because it was "drilled into them" from their parents,who were brainwashed by theirs.I think this is worse now because the tv, social media, etc. broadcast the latest trends until everyone thinks it's "in" to do it.This is "the world",what the Bible describes as following the world."The worlds" job is to take our mind off God,so if people focus on the latest "trend", then their mind is always on the next trend and the next, while they're focusing on that,trying to "fit in", while their mind is on wordly things, it's off God.See the strategy of the devil now?Keep your mind on the worlds trends, and off of God.Also, when the Antichrist comes, the devil would have an easier time if people are "robotic", than if there were some who could "read between the lines."{Oh, take the mark, it's the "in thing." It's "cool."}So I'm thinking it's not a coincidence that people are "copycats."Maybe it's part of an unsaved persons nature, and the devil knows this and exploits it.Eh?

Interesting you talk about this and just yesterday in the car I was listening to Jan Markell on AFR radio talking about these things and the end times.

As long as we are on the road to heaven and all our loved ones, friends and coworkers are going along with us, we should not worry about the antichrist. We know it is here and the devil is working hard to make everyone believe in him. Could be to Pope, could be any power on earth. Just fast and pray daily before the Lord that we will not be lift behind. This world is not our home. Heaven is. We are all heaven bound. Praise the Lord.

oh yes, that is it exactly. When you are part of the world, you follow the world: hook, line and sinker. I just did a study on Revelation- quite fascinating, and I thought the same way you do in that- here we have this book and we are told what is going to happen- why doesn't everyone see this? I am so grateful that God has opened my eyes. I have one child that claims to be an atheist, one that lives a homosexual lifestyle- I pray for their souls everyday. If only we all read the Bible. If only we all accepted Christ as our Savior. Eternity is forever, we are just visitors here on Earth, we are not of the world......anyway, great post, thank you

All glory to God almighty. We were chosen from the begining of the earth to be Gods own. So, do not worry about the Antichrist, devils and demons. Worry about what you are doing for Jesus. Are you visitng the sick and those in prison? Are you sharing your faith with those you work with?

Oh, my, Hildinand, i am so sorry to hear that!

StevenBobb, i heard once really good comparison, people in the world, mostly unsaved are the puppets and the devil is the puppet master. They do not know what they believe and what they do, they are only puppets on the strings doing only what the devil wants them to do.

Oh, my, Hildinand, i am so sorry to hear that!
