It seems to me that we have gone so far off course when it comes to true Christianity.
Sooo many variations these days (which was preached against in the NT - splitting up into little groups) and now with ALL other religions being given the red carpet in our country I just sit here bewildered.
Will we ever unite under Christ? Will we ever present a "show of force" to the world?
Sadly I think the time has past. Some of you may hold out hope but looking back at history and reading the tea leaves... it is bound to get worse.
It saddens me because a majority will be lost forever.
What really kills me (literally I think) is that the Catholic Church is the representation to the world of Christian living!
How down right wrong in my opinion to have such a corrupted "organization" be the beacon of light to the world.

Our Lord Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world. He meant not of this present world and time. But there are some who think this world is His Kingdom, which is a certain type of deception in itself.
Belief in The Father and His Son is still very strong in the hearts and minds of many peoples on earth today. That's where His true Church is today, not with man's organizational systems. Because this world is assigned to imperfection and Satan is given control over it until Christ Jesus comes, there is no system organization on earth that won't be under direct control or direct attack by him.
But in the spiritual, he cannot touch us. By The Holy Spirit through Jesus, we have even been given power over him and his demons.
Per prophecy of the end per the Book of Daniel, we are shown the power of God's people on earth in the last days is to wain, reduced. That's about physical power, not our spiritual power in Christ Jesus. Our spiritual power in Christ is to be increased in contrast. So the battle here is to become more spiritual than physical.
In the early days of the western Christian nations, the Christian kingdoms had much physical, literal power upon the earth. But even then, Satan tricked God's people to fight against each other. Since then, the power of the Christian nations have been slowly going into the hands of our enemies. This must happen to fulfill God's Word for the end. So it's not like He didn't already warn us about these times in His Word, for He did.
Hey, but the battle isn't over here on earth. We still have something to do, all the way to the end of this world.
Something in Bible prophecy that is seldom taught regarding the coming tribulation, is how some of Christ's elect are to be delivered up to given a Testimony for Christ against the beast, by The Holy Spirit (Mark 13). Jesus told us to not premeditate what we will say in that hour, because it won't be us that speaks, but The Holy Spirit. And in one place He said even the gainsayer won't be able to resist what The Holy Spirit will speak in that hour. That will be the actual manifesting of the cloven tongue of Pentecost again, but per the Joel 2 prophecy just prior to the "day of the Lord". And I believe that Witness for Christ will be aired to all nations.
So Satan and the wicked on earth have a personal rebuking coming in the near future sent directly from God by The Holy Spirit, through us. It will convict the hearts of many of the deceived and Satan's popularity in the poles will then drop drastically. It will rile Satan up so much, that his final act will be to bring his armies out of the northern quarters (Ezek.38-39) upon God's Israel to try and destroy us once and for all off the earth, which is when our Lord Jesus will step in to burn them up on that final day of Armageddon.
