Almost the whole world is deceived. Churches just as scripture tells is teaching lies or they just don't know. That doesn't provide them any protection from the future. They still harbor the information that can lead people to the truth. They will purify themselves through the tribulation. The few who know and understand through the Holy Spirit find themselves under constant attack. The people outside the church have decided with the help of the system that christians are a threat to society. A secret war is being waged upon the people while a global war is being used to create the future of the antichrist system and the last half of the tribulation.
When they removed the 10 COMMANDMENTS was the start of our fall. After they removed knowledge of God from our people and started welcoming the demons. As scripture says if a demon is cast out when he tries to return he brings seven more with him. This was the start of the return of the old Gods. We now face judgment for our actions of permitting a few to change our laws and beliefs. This is soon followed by the reviling of the Antichrist. Then the wrath against those who followed him and destroyed Gods people and creation. We have been under the control of the Antichrist and very soon he will be revealed. Then the real persecution will begin. Causing the wrath of God and His return.
