JOHN BRADSHAW - It Is Written

76 BABYLON RISING
Satan, the accuser of God’s people (Revelation 12:10),
maligns the character of God. Tragically, masses of people
today choose to side with Satan and array themselves
against the Source of love and life.
There is a real spiritual battle going on right now
on planet Earth, as real as any war that has ever taken
place. From the day Satan rebelled in Heaven, he has
been trying to drag people down to the place where they
cannot be saved. He knows how precious they are in the
sight of God.
He knows that “God is not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Better than anyone, Satan knows that “God so loved
the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Awestruck by the great love of God for the human
family, the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 3:1, “Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God...”
Today, the enemy of souls portrays Christians as being
ignorant and out of touch. Those who believe the Creation
account in Scripture are backward thinkers who are out of
step with science. Those who oppose modern liberalization
of moral standards are intolerant, while those who believe
in obeying God are depicted as legalistic.
Satan has worked intentionally over the passing years,
marginalizing Christians, denigrating the divine, and
elevating human wisdom and a do-as-you-please attitude
that makes humans into gods and God into a mockery.
