Rising Darkness - Part 2 - The Spread of Socialism

Why are so many Americans, even many churchgoers, warming up to socialism, and why should a Christian care? Jesus told His people to watch, and Psalm 2 foretells a day when the rulers of the earth take counsel together against the LORD and against His anointed. In Part 2 of our Rising Darkness series, we look at another sign of the spirit of antichrist at work in the last days: the spread of socialism.

Key Verse: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." - Revelation 13:17 (KJV)

From Revelation 13:16-17, Pastor Marc Williamson explains what socialism is: government control of business, the removal of economic independence, and the redistribution of wealth. He looks at the life of its designer, Karl Marx, a man who hated God and wanted loyalty to the state to replace loyalty to the church and the family. He then shows where socialism is heading, toward the centralized power and total control of commerce that Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 describe under the Antichrist, with Venezuela as a sobering example of its fruit. He closes by exposing the Red Green alliance between socialists and Islamists, who share no common future but are united in their opposition to the West, to Israel, and to Biblical Christianity.

Politics and governments cannot save; only Jesus can. Recognize the times, resist deception, remain faithful, reach the lost, and raise the next generation in the truth.
