Adam rebelled and betrayed God because of his love of self, because he was afraid, again, of facing what he now recognized as loneliness.  There wasn’t another creature that he could fellowship with and could identify with.  Therefore, God in His love for him, made him a woman.  She defected and the woman was deceived.  The woman was deceived; Adam rebelled.  By one man, sin entered the world; amen?  And one man, Christ Jesus, came and paid for the sins of the whole world, praise God!  In Adam all die, and in Christ we live, praise God!

The restraining force at this moment that is keeping the anti-Christ from taking over the world, literally, this anti-Christ is going to be dynamic in every way.  I would assume that he will have the traits of everything that appeals to humanity.  I expect that he will be an intellectual.  He is going to be handsome, of great form, of great personality.  In everything that appeals to man, he will be supernatural and beyond that which has been known.  At this moment, Satan is getting ready to launch him onto the world scene, but is being restrained by one force alone, and that’s the church of Jesus Christ; amen?  "He that now restrains, let Him restrain until He be taken out of the way; and then shall appear that son of perdition."  Then we’re going to see the Antichrist coming on the scene, but the church must be taken out first.  The main thing that must be guarded against in this hour: the whore, the harlot church is going to turn against the true bride of Christ, the true church.  

There are going to be those people.  We see some laws being passed right now that seem to be meaningless but, you know, they have some of these red flag laws that are coming.  Did you know that somebody can call anonymously and report you and say that you’re insane and that you are moving with strange behavior in your home?  They are going to come and check you out.  These laws are being put on the books.  We’re already strange in the eyes of the world; amen?  I won’t go down that road, but there are many different ways that this can be activated and pursued.  The destruction of the true church, the bride, is the heart of Satan.

Jesus said, “I have built My church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”; amen?  Hallelujah, we win!  There will be persecution.  There will be casualties.  I don’t believe that the drunkenness with the blood of the martyrs is exclusively a part of the Tribulation.  As strong delusion manifests itself among those that are professing Christ, the church is going to be persecuted.  You see it today in some of the big denominations, the well-known megachurches.  So many of them are already being overcome with this “woke” mentality.  The true church has not been asleep, and we do not need to be woke; amen?  We are watching and we are praying, and this hour will not come upon us unawares.  We see what you’re up to devil; amen?
