The name of the enemy to be forgotten in eternity

This post in its original contention was intended to put a name on the terrorism activities associated with the ‘radical' Islamic movements around the world, whose adherents follow variously adopted tenets of Islam, whether truly related to a pure construction of Islamic ideology, or as adapted to the perception of a cause. In the various forms promulgated by a vastly prolific segment of world society, it has to be acknowledged that Islam's instigation to become an influential force with which to be reckoned cannot be understated. From the most meek Muslim who has to the most radical warrior if Islam, they cannot be ignored.

Falling back to the historical references of Islam's beginnings to the rampant insinuations into current western cultures, there has to be a recognition of the force(s) behind such things and to bring home the implications of this post's title, identify the enemy. Fortunately, this has been done, and, not to slight the intent of this original post, done quite a long time ago.

In this and various other posts, this reader has traded comments with some friendly and not so friendly ideological persuasions. Everyone should have an intense idea of this reader's position, that the complete and inerrant Word of Almighty God, the Holy Bible, is the only true source of anything by which the existence we live in is controlled. Ideas of pantheism, misdirected monotheism, animism, polytheism, agnosticism, and the ultimate in evolutionary dissemblance of spiritual things, atheism, are humanist arguments that seek to counter the central truth of life, the WORD of the LORD as contained in the Holy Bible.

People, people, people, come hear: the ultimate enemy of a world desiring peace is unbelief.

The Western cultures that are bearing the brunt of a world going awry as it propels itself along a course to its self destruction cannot seem to counter the onslaught of Islam for that very reason: unbelief.

Where is the means to bring peace to a planet groaning for relief from, shall we say global warming, or famine, or earthquakes and tsunamis, weather event or fires, extraterrestrial bombardments, or name your particular disaster?

History records such things have been happening all the time, the only pause for making more of this is in the increase of intensity. Many others have pondered and discussed such things in better venues than here, so there is no need to embellish such things here. But we can say that, with the latest advancements of the scientific communities newly recognizing the significance of these events, the seeds of believing the connection of them and the possibility of the Holy Bible saying all along these things are coming in advance of the returning Savior and LORD Jesus Christ are planted and can no longer be dismissed.

The enemy is the Adversary, and the seeds of unbelief were panted long ago, from the very beginning of human society. The Holy Bible follows the course of such things and the plan devised by the Lord Creator of the Universe to bring peace to mankind is about to fall into place. What is required now for those who look at such things and pray for a solution need to recognize that it has been Jesus Christ all along that has said, come unto me and I will give you rest. My peace He says, not the peace the world promises, but a peace that comes from Him through obedience to His love, and only through belief in Him and His Holy WORD, are such things obtainable. The enemy, the Adversary, has spent untold resources to prevent this from happening, even to trying to prevent the crucifixion. The Adversary lost.

The Adversary is currently in high gear trying to prevent actions in the Holy Bible from happening today, spending the lion's share of activity in preventing the sharing of the Gospel, for that means souls going to heaven to be with Jesus Christ. That is the epitome of enemy activity, therefore the name of the true enemy is the ‘Adversary.' Those who follow his lead are at the root of the cause of the world's antipathy against Jesus Christ, for the enemy desires all casualties of unbelief to follow him to hell, against the plans of Jesus Christ.

The enemy indeed has a name, and he shares it with any who follow his lead against Jesus Christ. In the Holy Bible, the Name of Him Who is Truth stands in testimony against the enemy, and has eternal rewards for those who follow the Name of Jesus Christ in faith and believe in His love and are obedient to the commandments in the Holly Bible. The Name of Jesus Christ is the Name of Faithful and True, to be remembered forever; and in the end, the name of the enemy will be forgotten in eternity.
