“... WAR, OPEN OR UNDERSTOOD, must be resolved.”
In John Milton’ s epic work, Paradise Lost, Satan’ s speech challenges the prevailing idea among his fellow rebels, that all will be well between the host of fallen spirits and the remaining angels of God. Even though he has lost the war in heaven he has no intention of losing the battle for earth, because he means to destroy the apple of God’ s eye... mankind. He says,
“ But these thoughts full counsel must mature: peace is despaired; For who can think submission? War then, war, open or understood, must be resolved.”-( John Milton, Paradise Lost)
Christians globally need to awaken to the clarion call to“ spiritual warfare”, yes there has long been a cold war raging and it is now intensifying as prophetic expediency demands it. Previously held moral restraints have been removed and those“ people whose consciences are seared as with a hot iron”, cauterised into numbness must be challenged. If we fail to stand up and be counted we will fall along with the great numbers who have already succumbed to the enemy’ s schemes.
The real enemy is, The Liar, who peddles fear, deception, prejudice, hatred, and revenge in order to lure many to his side. Truth, we are being told is relative. When since? God has apparently changed His mind about some sections of Biblical teaching and if that won’ t do, then throw out the Bible and anything associated with God and call it myth. In society, it is now dangerous to believe in Christian morality, charity, chastity and purity these ideas are postulated as bigotry and against civil rights. So, for those Christians still in denial, take a look at what is coming to your front door.

Norway family ACCUSED OF CHRISTIAN INDOCTRINATION loses children
The Christian parents of five children, who were seized by Norwegian child services seven months ago to“ prevent” them from being“ indoctrinated” with Christianity, will soon be reunited as the authorities have agreed to return the custody of the remaining four children to the family. The five children were seized by the Norwegian Child Protective Services on Nov. 16 and 17 last year based on a teacher’ s concerns about how they were being raised by“ radical” Christians who were“ indoctrinating” their children. In early April, only the youngest of the five children were returned to the parents. When the other children will be returned is not known.
There has been international outcry from religious, NGOs and civil organisations mainly in a petition to the Norwegian government:“ We find the facts of this international incident unacceptable not only on legal grounds but also on humanitarian and moral grounds. We view these transgressions as grievous breaches of domestic and international law … Therefore, it is important that Norway immediately release the children back to their biological parents …”
