The struggle against God and His love of His creation continues EVERY DAY.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)”
–Ephesians 2:4-5
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
–Romans 5:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”
–Ephesians 2:8
Yet, the deceived struggle against knowing ANYTHING which might disturb the deceptive cocoon which they have carefully built around themselves.
The deceived struggle against eternal salvation because they are deceived.
IF the deceived were not deceived, they would embrace rather than fight against the truth of God’s Word and eternal salvation through belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8IF the deceived were not deceived, they would value life everlasting over eternal destruction and condemnation.

End times man is literally surrounded by an ocean of untruth.
Advertising is legalized lying.”
—HG Wells
Advertising has been called “legalized lying“–-and end times man is buffeted by advertising practically every minute of the day.
“No amount of genius spent on the creation of propaganda will lead to success if a fundamental principle is not forever kept in mind. Propaganda must confine itself to very few points, and repeat them endlessly. Here, as with so many things in this world, persistence is the first and foremost condition of success.”
–Adolf Hitler, Propaganda, the Big Lie and Adolf Hitler: 20 Hitler Quotes on Propaganda
Propaganda is lying–and end times man constantly hears propaganda and other lies repeated over and over until he believes them.
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
–Adolf Hitler, Propaganda, the Big Lie and Adolf Hitler: 20 Hitler Quotes on Propaganda
The actual world in which end times man dwells is quite a different place than the world end times man imagines the world in which he lives to be.
This is because the world, as end times man imagines it to be, is constructed of huge, monstrous lies.
In many cases, these lies were not put into place in one day: they were put into place over decades–often centuries–and supported by every facet of man’s society and culture.
And so, now man finds himself in the end times and almost EVERYTHING he knows, tastes, hears or sees is a lie.
But end times man is quite comfortable with living amongst these lies because end times man is deceived.
“And the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:9
This struggle between God and end times man–supported by Satan, the dragon’s workers and the evil spirits God has sent among men as their punishment (but which men mistakenly believe to be a reward)–will continue right up until the day Jesus Christ returns.
And so, the struggle continues.
For now.
“And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man”
–Genesis 6:3
