Revelation 11:15
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.
Close your eyes momentarily and imagine being trapped in the body of a bat. Imagine a world without color, where you only perceive black, white, or shades of grey. Imagine being forced to function in such a low brain capacity, where every thought revolves around food, safety, and mating. Imagine all the aspects of life that the bat misses due to these limitations. The worst tragedy of all is the bat’s ignorance that there is more, thus making it fulfilled with the little it perceives. Understanding the human brain through the spiritual lens feels a lot like this.
As humans, we live in a fallen body that can only perceive a small fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum. And so, we have a false impression that the world we see is all there is. After his out of body near-death experience, renowned American neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander concluded that the human brain is merely a filter and not a source of consciousness. It simply reduces all the sensory input captured by our spiritual bodies into the frequencies our fallen bodies can perceive. It is only after our Spiritual bodies are activated that we can be able to perceive more.
If you want to find secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration- Nikola Tesla
When a person gets born again, they receive the Holy Spirit who activates our human spirits hence giving us the ability to perceive more spiritual input. A person whose spirit remains inactive and thus operates fully from the perceptions of our carnal bodies is in danger of, like the bat, rolling through life without knowledge of the bigger picture.
Sadly, the stakes for life are high for us to be comfortable in ignorance; every minute inside our fallen bodies has an implication on eternity in either heaven or hell. Angelic and demonic beings operating in spiritual vibrations that our mortal bodies cannot perceive work tirelessly to influence our paths for the sake of eternity. Both the devil and God want our souls, and until we wake up to this reality, we are already losing the war. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, we naturally flow in the impulses of the flesh into the devil’s arena.
In these end times, we will see a great intensification of this war which will result in a clear demarcation between Christians and the world. This war will not be fought using amour and machinery, but rather through occurrences and events that are influenced in the realms of the Spirit by both angels and demons. It is a war that has been meticulously been planned for centuries will slowly shape people's habits, thoughts, and beliefs. Brick by brick, these towers have been built through technological advancements, historical, and spiritual events. The fruit of most of these are yet to manifest, but they will in these last days. And so, before the Kingdom of God is established on this earth, the glorious church will be birthed and she will be greatly hated by persecuted. But as Daniel prophesied, God’s kingdom will destroy all the evil foundations of the Kingdoms of earth and it will be established forever.
Daniel 2:31-35 (ESV)
You saw, O King, and behold a great image. This image, mighty and exceeding in brightness, stood before you and its appearance was frightening. The head of this image was fine gold, its chest and arms silver, its middle and thighs bronze, Its legs iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the main kingdoms of the world through history were represented by the giant image that Christ breaks to establish His kingdom. Spiritually, the last 3000 years have been a giant chessboard. Many significant historical events have shaped the world as it is today. On a spiritual lens, these historical events have had a ripple effect, and as a result, some seeds that were sown hundreds of years ago have built towers that play a significant role in the end-time spiritual warfare. The slave trade, for instance, was a seed for racism that has affected the world until now. Other unfortunate events such as discrimination against women, religion, and traditions have marred the course of history too. Truthfully, these events were sown and propagated by the devil and his agents, and the only true solution to resolving them is by leaning on the love of Jesus. Nonetheless, the devil continues to use these events to push boundaries and propagate his agenda by building towers on them. Will you support the unification of conflicting world religions for the sake of global peace if Jesus is removed from the center of it? Will you support a leader who opposes God's statutes simply because he is from a minority race that was greatly discriminated in the course of history?
Will you support a leader who advocates for term abortions simply because she is the first woman to hold a position of such magnitude? These are the kind of tough questions the church will have to answer in the end times. The bridge between Christianity and political correctness is bound to increase even more in the coming years. Satan's main trick in the end time is to get the world so fixated on the glamour of the pieces on the chessboard until they forget to see the moves that they make from a spiritual lens. In this season, we must realize that the devil views us the way we view the bat, and unless we sharpen our spiritual senses to see what he does, we will be greatly deceived by what we perceive in the physical.
Revelation 13:8
And all who dwell on earth will worship the beast, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
The devil is a master of birthing destruction out of glamour. As a result, the most beautiful towers from a carnal view will be the most destructive spiritually. Global unity, for instance, will be expertly used by the devil to achieve control. A letter intercepted from the infamous Freemason Albert Pike in 1871, directed to another Italian Freemason, Mazzini shows how cunning the schemes of the enemy are. The letter outlined the plan of the elite to systematically start three world wars, which will culminate in Lucifer taking advantage of the chaos to raise an antichrist to govern the whole world, as mentioned in Revelation 13. Of course, the first two wars already happened exactly as outlined, but the last one is yet to happen. What is troubling is the fact this son of perdition who Satan will raise will ride on the wave of public support because of the tower of global unity, something the whole world will be desperate for after the chaos of war.
The Lord gave me a dream about this last year, of a partnership between a major global multinational organization and top religious leaders under the umbrella of global unity to propagate the antichrist agenda. Some of the idols that have been built in our hearts over the years will be used against us greatly in the last days. For most of their existence, many of these towers have been hugely positive and beneficial, but the devil is a master of stretching our boundaries by driving us to step by step out of the truth of God. Technology, for instance, has positively revolutionized the world. But what if we are forced to incorporate it into our bodies as a way of tracking and monitoring? Will we still choose to walk in truth when God’s word conflicts with our favorite idol?
When the Church is forced to go against the towers that are greatly accepted by the world, Christian persecution will increase globally. The devil will make moves that make so much sense in the physical realm that everyone who lacks spiritual perception will fall for it. The Christians who oppose it will be viewed as radical and retrogressive by the world. But it is in the time of persecution that the Church has always been strongest. At the culmination of the tribulation, the glorious church will destroy all these idols that have been built by the world, and the Kingdom of God will be established on earth.
But before the glorious church is birthed, all the towers controlling the church will be shaken, and only those which are meant to last forever will stand. Be it traditionalism, religious and denominational differences, racial presences, or social differences…every tower that has been raised by the enemy within the body of Christ to cause division will be destroyed. When the global church begins functioning as one in the power of the Holy Spirit, without any towers raised by man, all the spots and wrinkles will slowly disappear and the glorious church will be birthed.
Before the church moves into this synchrony however, each member of the body must rid themselves of any towers in their hearts that may prevent Christ from expressing Himself fully through them. It is a slow but necessary process because Jesus does not wish to battle with tradition, culture, religious preferences, tribalism, or any other idols. Some of these things have been beneficial in the previous seasons, but now, we have to empty ourselves for God's move. God is looking for empty vessels to manifest in these last days, vessels detached from the cycles and patterns of the world; vessels that will allow God to move through them in ways that cannot be limited by human traditions or personal agendas. As the world plunges into lawlessness, God will build a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle. It is by this church that the towers of the enemy will be destroyed and the Kingdom of God established on earth as it is in heaven.
Daniel 7:13-14
I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Revelation 11:15
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.
