We all remember that day, 9/11, 25 years ago. Evil became visible. Our country was attacked, many of our people died and we and the world have never been the same since.
The irony is that our attackers declared we are the great Satan. We perhaps believe the reverse. The common denominator is that Satan was and is still involved. In fact, he is behind it all. Satan has one goal in mind, delay the Messianic Rule of Christ. This involves the destruction of both the Jewish people and the global Church.
The fact that there is a rise in Antisemitism and persecution of the Christian church is to state the obvious. What is so profound is how pronounced this is in America. How in the world can this be? The answer is that another world is at work.
We are not alone. When Paul said in Ephesians 6, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, he actually meant what he said!
There is an unseen world* and an unseen battle** and we are in the midst of it. Spiritual warfare is both individual and institutional. It involves every Christian and impacts every country.
We are commanded to pray for ourselves, the church, and our leaders. You ask why? Because, as C.S. Lewis reminds us: "Every square inch of the universe is claimed by God and counter-claimed by Satan."
Serving Him with you Until He comes for us, Fred
