“... 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 …”
