FINAL WAR WILL BE DIFFERENT!

The final war of the Age of the Gentiles, which terminates in the final battle of Armageddon,
will be different in many ways from any war in the history of mankind. Of course, there are the o
bvious ways in which it will be different, as the following Scriptures attest:
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book.
Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
[2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Daniel 7:25,26 – And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
But there are other ways in which it will be unlike all the wars America has ever fought, and it has to do with what Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-35, which had primarily to do with what would happen to those Jews in their families of birth, if they believed on him as the Son of God.
Matthew 10:34,35 – Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I am come to set
a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
The difference between what individual family members believed about Jesus certainly produced the reaction he described in countless Jewish families.
Most of those, who believed Jesus was the Son of God, were disowned by the rest of the family and their parents took away their inheritance. It was a clash of religious beliefs. Jesus deliberately drew the answer to what caused the division out of Peter in Matthew 16:13-17.
Matthew 16:13-17 – When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am
? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
So, if it was the Spirit of God that revealed that Jesus was the Son of God, then what is the Spirit of Antichrist – and what does it reveal to those who follow it?
I John 4:3,4 – And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. [4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I John 5:5 – Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Now, keeping what you have just read in mind, please consider the only two world wars in which our nation has been involved, and ask yourself this question: did some men and women on both sides of the conflict believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God
? World Wars I and II were not over religious differences.
Religion played only a small part in it. The great and final World War is going to be a clear cut religious war waged by the spirit of antichrist against what they consider infidels.
On one side of the conflict, virtually all of them will be followers of Allah who do not believe Jesus is the Son of God, and follow the specific faith of the Prophet Muhammad. Worldwide, they will number in the billions when the final three and one-half years of the final war first begins. On the other side will be a mixed bag ranging from those who believe Jesus is the Son of God to confirmed atheists, but all will be hated by the follows of Allah as infidels, the enemies of Allah.
The Non-Muslim world had better get ready. This is not going away. It is much different from the two previous world wars.
This is going to be the war of all wars, and a fight to the finish at Armageddon. And if you are individually not prepared to meet Jesus, you had jolly well better get ready. This is not a far distant event!
Revelation 16:10-16 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
