2nd Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Thus, the effort to sit in God’s seat that we read of in our first passage is nothing new, for it originated with the prince of darkness, and throughout history various human agencies, moved by the rebel leader have sought to bring this about. That is why we will always have wars on our planet, because until the issues of God’s jurisdiction domain and rightful authority are settled in every heart, war is bound to continue.
It matters not if many truces are made, it matters not if many peace agreements are signed, and it matters not if you’re a republican, a Democrat, or somewhere in between. Wars have sprung up under Democratic rule, as well as under Republican rule, and if an independent, or a woman, were to win the presidency, wars on our planet will continue as normal. The United Nations was founded to prevent wars, but since then, there have been more conflicts on our planet than before.
If the issue of God’s seat is not settled, we will all be living in an unsettled world until Jesus comes. That’s the plain unadulterated truth that the inhabitants of earth are now called to confront, as the final conflict of the ages looms large on the horizon. Wherever there’s a devil you’ll inevitably have wars for he is the author of war and he often moves upon human agencies to carry out his dictates.
Revelation 12: 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
