I'm just going to read one paragraph from an early chapter and title is The Cosmic Battle. It's titled The Spirit of the Antichrist, the Gathering Cloud of Deception, and we carry it in our online store. So when I was sent a fairly new book by author and pastor JB Hickson, I was intrigued enough that I invited the pastor and author on air today to talk about the publication. The power is not ours, but it is the Lord's, so we can't at the same time dismiss the spirit of the Antichrist so prevalent today. That is the bottom line, and as we go through the discussion today and talk about some things that are heavy, please remember that the Holy Spirit is far stronger than Satan or any of his minions, and because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world, we have confidence in God and at the same time put no confidence in the flesh. Spirit's protection is more than enough to thwart any of Satan's attacks. Now, the Holy Spirit is far stronger than Satan and any of his minions, and the Spirit's wisdom is greater than any of Satan's schemes. Lucifer and his angels know their time is short, and I believe they are presently causing as much havoc in the world as possible, and as much difficulty in your life as possible. The Bible says in 1 John 4 that greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world, or this fallen angel world ruler. Who are they? An Antichrist, a false prophet, and their minions marching to the beat of their dark ruler, the devil. Revelation 13 talks about a future one-world money system, religious system, governmental system, and a single ruler with several cohorts. We've looked heavily at one-worldism, globalism, talking about the movers and shakers in the world of the coming kingdom of the Antichrist foretold in the Bible. That was a short clip by my guest for the hour, who I'll bring on just as soon as I set the stage for today's programming.Īnd I'm continuing on, as you know, for the last couple of months. Welcome to Understanding the Times Radio. And if the rapture were to happen today, then he's ready to influence that man, indwell that man, and begin the process of this final tyrannical seven-year period. And yes, it will be a man, according to the scripture. And I believe he knows who that man is going to be right now. If the rapture were to happen, he's got to have his man marked out. So in every generation for the last 2,000 years, he has to have his man of the hour, his Antichrist candidate, ready to step into that role. And he doesn't know God's timetable, so he doesn't know when this final end times phase is going to kick in. What that means is that for the last 2,000 years, since Christ defeated the darkness, defeated death, hell, and the grave by rising from the dead the third day, Satan has been in a panic mode, doing everything he can to prepare for this final battle.

So he doesn't believe the truth of God's word. He is a deceiver and he's deceived, self-deceived. He knows that it's going to culminate in this final battle of Armageddon and that Christ is going to ultimately take the throne according to the biblical narrative. Well, what does he mean by that? He means that Satan is hard at work, deceiving the world, preparing the way for his ultimate takeover. In chapter 2, John tells us that many Antichrists, little a, have already come, even though the ultimate Antichrist is coming someday. In other words, that spirit of all that the Antichrist stands for is already at work. This book comes from the book of 1 John, which tells us that the spirit of the Antichrist, capital A, the future world tyrant under the power of Satan will be ruling the world and persecuting Christians like never before, and Jews, is already in the world.

And they tell you what you can do to push back this darkness. As the world spins in turmoil, Jan and her guests analyze just who the major players are and their tactics. Hickson this week, author of the new book, Spirit of the Antichrist, The Gathering Cloud of Deception. Today we talk about the gathering cloud of deception.
