    Perilous Times (2of 2)

    St Paul had in his days come across such believers who were lovers of themselves that the doctrine of Christ was as any other doctrine and they put themselves as judges. Then there were Judaizers the false brethren 'who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus' (Gal.2:4). While writing to Timothy, he warns of the perilous times, of believers. Then as now. The Christians are urged 'to abound in every good work' and we have activism instead. Whose is stoking the controversies?

    "That they might bring us into bondage," is the work of Satan. The devil sins from the beginning and Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy his works. ( 1 John 3:8) We shall take a quick look at the mischief he has wrought ,-and the controversy of state and religion did not arise in our time but was the outcome of war in heaven. "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon" (Re.12:7) In the vision of Daniel we read of it, "And it (he goat) waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them./ Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host."(Dan.8:11-12). In the the same chapter we are given to understand the events telescope into the end times, "Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision." (8:17)

    It is of the little horn we are interested in and where does his authority come from? We shall note that he did not win by the might of his own. It was given to him as in the case of the beast." And the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority(Re.13:2,11) So Daniel supplies us one trait of the little horn and he emerges into the history of nations "but not by his own power." He needs anti-Christ, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. This is what we ought to take heed? 'Another gospel' has Jesus talk but his concord is with Belial.
