King Jesus Christ has enemies. Are they enemies of the Church?  Or, are Christ’s enemies so good at deception that evangelicals don’t recognize them?

• In the Garden, Satan appropriated the form of a serpent, the dragon, and deceived Eve.
• Two thousand years ago Satan inhabited King Herod who sought to kill the child when Mary gave birth.   Revelation 12:4.
• Today Satan and his children (John 8:44, Revelation 2:9, Revelation 3:9) continue their war against those who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Revelation 12:17.

Satan continues to work through his own children who falsely claim to be Jews and God’s chosen.

We are at war. If the Dragon and his children do not hate you, then you must ask “why not?” Or do you disbelieve Christ when he said “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword!”
