Exposing The Truth

Hoppers Crossing Christian Church is a small home based church in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. Over the past two to three years since inception, we have become concerned about the state of the Christian Church in western society and have therefore embarked on a mission to spread the truth about what we are seeing.

God is using satan’s useful idiots to win His battles

God is using satan’s useful idiots to win His battles
Satan’s useful idiots are those non-thinking people whom satan has taken control of via their use of his sinful pleasures. Maybe once upon a time they were able to think for themselves, but were progressively dumbed down by satan who demands control as the price for his sinful wares. And, the first casualty of satan’s dumbing down process is to diminish his victim’s discernment. That is, the more that people partake of satan’s pleasures, the less they are aware of the control satan has placed upon them. Eventually people who partake freely of satan’s wares over a period of time lose their ability to think for themselves. They have become his living dead; they are his useful idiots, ready to do their master’s bidding without question. Of course, satan is not personally involved with the dumbing down of his servants; he has a myriad of demons (evil angels) who serve their master well by producing an ever-increasing number of living-dead zombies: satan’s useful idiots!

Most of satan’s useful idiots are actually unaware that they are no longer able to think for themselves. A lot of the work of satan and his demons is via the mind; they plant thoughts and suggestions in people’s minds in such a way that such people think it is their own thinking that comes up with such plans. And, just like people with dementia, they are generally completely unaware where their thinking comes from, or that they actually no longer can think for themselves. They have become puppets controlled by satan and his demons, dancing to the tune that they unbelievably think is their own tune! They are satan’s useful idiots!

Over the years satan has built his army of useful idiots, ever ready to do his bidding while at the same time thinking that they made the decisions themselves. However, one day there will be a reckoning; satan’s control will be challenged in a time that would soon lead to the end of the world as we know it today. That time, the end-times of our world, is upon us now; it will culminate in Armageddon and the return of Christ the Messiah to rule in His 1000-year millennium of peace and prosperity. The end-times are characterized by God taking control back from sinful mankind as He declares war upon a sinful world and its sinful leaders. God is now working toward reclaiming title to His creation, particularly His special people Israel.

In order for God to reclaim title to His creation, He needs to declare war on satan and his useful idiots who currently hold so much of this title. While man has dominion over the earth (granted by God in Genesis 1:26), satan via his control of much of mankind has gained a de facto dominion through his useful idiots worldwide. It is through this war declared by God that satan (via his useful idiots) will be challenged for this title; such warfare would be primarily spiritual but this spiritual warfare will engulf the world in a physical war that will cause destruction and disaster on a scale never seen before. However, the end result of a war such as this will return to God all title for His creation, especially His people Israel. And, satan and his useful idiots will have absolutely no title to anything by the end (which is marked by Armageddon and the return of Christ the Messiah).

So how will this all be accomplished? Of course, it will be war that will determine the end result, but how will this war be fought? God has declared these end-times to be His “day of the Lord” (see Joel Ch.2&3 which is a picture of the end-times redemption of His people Israel). The day of the Lord means a time when God overrules man’s dominion according to the desires of His will; and God’s will here is clear: the redemption of His people Israel, and the reclaiming of His created world in which His redeemed Israel will dwell. Put simply, God will take charge of all and everything in the world He considers necessary to achieve His will.

Back in the days of Moses, God set pharaoh in place in order that he would fight over the title to the people of Israel. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. (Romans 9:17) Pharaoh was set up for this battle and he wouldn’t be permitted to back off or retreat from the battle until Egypt lost the battle to keep Israel as slaves. To ensure that pharaoh remained in the battle without retreating, God “hardened his heart”, locking him in to the battle, unable to choose to back off the battle. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. (Exodus 10:1-2)
Paul also said much the same in Romans 9:18 where “hardeneth” is the Greek word skleruno which means to be set hard, inflexible, without option to change. God set up pharaoh to fight this battle and made him stay fighting until God had won all title to His people Israel. Satan had taught pharaoh well in all manner of evil; he was satan’s useful idiot in Egypt; now God had taken control of satan’s evil and was using it for His own purposes. In a way this was God’s day of the Lord in Egypt at that time.

Joel describes plagues of locusts which ravage Judah, eating all vegetation, causing famine and death throughout the land. At that time Judah was under the control of wicked queen Athaliah and God had now declared judgement upon the land until the sin was dealt with. He caused the locusts to ravage Judah and no-one could stop them. God called them His army; they were under His control. Overall Joel is a picture of the end-times of this world when God will reclaim His people Israel forever; in fact, He is in the process of reclaiming them right now; Joel pictures these very times we are living in today. The locusts were naturally destructive; God took control of their destruction and used it to turn His people back to Him in repentance.

The locusts therefore represent satan’s useful idiots of today whom God is manipulating in order to cause His people Israel to repent, and to defeat satan’s hold on this world. Likewise pharaoh also represents God taking control of satan’s useful idiots today for the purpose of redeeming title of Israel and all creation.

If these are the end-times today (and there is little doubt that this is so), then God has declared His day of the Lord (most likely on 7th October 2023 to begin with). God has placed people where He wants them around the world in order to bring about firstly the conflict that will return all title to Himself, and secondly to defeat satan and his huge army of useful idiots. And the battle once commenced will not cease until God has won all title, and satan and his useful idiots hold no title at all.

This means that what is seen as evil in so many places today is likely to be according to God’s will. No, God does not do evil, nor does He make people evil. But, just as with pharaoh, and also the locusts, He will use the evil satan has already taught his useful idiots, causing this evil to bring conflict that will eventually result in loss to satan and his useful idiots. Confrontation is the name of the end-times game now; and the confrontation will continue until the battle is ended and the victory won by sovereign God.

Observe all those useful idiots of satan who have come out of the woodwork to oppose Israel after a bunch of cowardly terrorists attacked and killed, maimed, abused, kidnapped so many unarmed civilians (many of whom were women and children) – such bravery!!! These cowards were useful idiots whom God permitted to do this. But would God cause such misery for His people? Many prophecies declare that Israel will have to experience great tribulation and affliction, more that at any other time in their history. Jeremiah Ch.30 declares this time to be the time of Jacob’s trouble, a time which will render Israel with a terminal illness without cure or medication; that is, Israel will have to suffer facing certain death as a nation without remedy. Then, upon facing certain destruction, God will provide the remedy; He will redeem His people. Joel says it will be because they have called upon the name of the Lord to be delivered (Joel 2:32); they have cried out in their desperation to be saved. Zechariah 13:8-9 says that 2/3 of them will not do repent, and God will let them be destroyed. But 1/3 will repent, be purged of their iniquity in the furnace of affliction, and will be redeemed and be granted everlasting righteousness.

And note carefully that it is the work of those useful idiots that will achieve this for Israel. God will use their opposition to break Israel in order that Israel will do that which they refused to do 2000 years ago: accept Christ when He came as their Messiah. Their refusal to accept Him caused God to reject them as a nation for 2000 years now. God called them to be a kingdom of priests to the nations (Exodus 19:6), yet they have never fulfilled this requirement; they have consistently rebelled against God’s law. Even captivity failed to bring them back as a nation to God. Nothing has ever yet managed to break them enough to return to God in repentance as a nation. These end-times now are the make or break; they will be broken beyond any previous breaking. Those who repent before God will be redeemed; those who do not repent will be rejected by God from being called Israel. (Romans 2:28-29) Only those who are spiritually the descendants of Abraham will be declared God’s Israel; those who are only physically of Abraham will not. These end-times are the final call for Israel. Those who do not repent will no longer be Israel.

This is the end-times day of the Lord. God runs the show. Satan’s useful idiots, like Joel’s locusts, have been commandeered in order to control all events leading up to the end at Armageddon when Christ returns to rule over His people Israel. And, as it was with pharaoh, there’s nothing satan can do to change what’s been prophesied to happen. God is controlling so much of satan’s army of useful idiots; they do the evil that satan has taught them to do, but it is God who now controls which evil they do, for how long, to whom and where. The world is mostly opposed to God and His people; this then leads to conflicts that can only end when God has won the battle and claimed title to His creation. And satan’s useful idiots will not be permitted to back off the battle until God wins the victory.

Israel will face the greatest affliction ever in all its history; there is no easy pathway to the redemption of Israel. And God will be orchestrating much of this affliction using satan’s useful idiots to do His will. The world is already now filled with nations and peoples who would rather support terrorists than give support for Israel. World leaders and influential people (and many not so influential also) are lining up to have their turn to hate Israel and to love her enemies. This is all just a part of God’s end-times day of the Lord plans according to prophecy. At the end of all this, the world will be judged according to whether or not they have given support to Israel; they will be judged either sheep (supporters of Israel) or goats (not supporters of Israel). The sheep will be blessed with life; the goats with eternal condemnation.

So do not be surprised nor amazed at how evil the world seems to have become. It is merely what God has planned in these end-times. Evil will become the new good. Political correctness will generally define the evil which has become the new good. Be aware that these things must be so, and are part of God’s end-times day of the Lord. Disasters will increase, and death and destruction will abound. Much evil will rule until the evil is destroyed and God reclaims His title to His creation. Think of it all as a domino series where one domino falling causes the rest of the dominoes to fall in their turn. 7th Oct 2023 may have been the first domino, with all other dominoes falling in the order that God has ordained according to His will. All major world events, especially in the middle-east and particularly Israel, are the various dominoes; they will fall exactly as God has prophesied. In these end-times God has sovereign control over all events. On the other hand, satan has lost his de facto control over world events; his useful idiots are no longer useful to him, but instead to God.

The signs that the biblical end-times are now

The signs that the biblical end-times are now
Matthew 24 tells us a lot about the end-times of this world, culminating in Armageddon and the return of Christ the Messiah. And that we are meant to recognize its approach. When we see certain things happening today, we should recognize that the end is near.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. (Matthew 24:21-22; 32-33)

While we are not to know the exact day or time when Christ should return, we are to know the signs that His appearing is immanent. So what signs should we look for?

1/. Increased wickedness that opposes biblical teachings more and more. Such teachings include sexual alternatives to God’s two sexes of man and woman; a general hatred toward the legitimacy of Israel; an increase in support for religions that oppose the God of the Bible and His people; and growing opposition (often violent or vilifying) to anything biblical.

2/. Increased readiness to go to war especially noted in the middle-east currently in opposition to Israel (see Ezekiel 38).

3/. Increased human suffering including famines and persecution of those who stand against wickedness.

4/. Increase in amount and extent of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods fires, storms.

All these are the beginning of sorrows (= birth pains). (Matthew 24:8) All these above occur as signs that something big is about to happen. Global turmoil will increase as Christ’s return to judge the world approaches. Genuine Christians are warned to be vigilant and prepared for the return of Christ to take them out of this world before the 7 years of disaster judgements of God hit the earth.

5/. The first provable event of the immanence of Christ’s return is that the Church of genuine Christian believers will be taken away (snatched away) to heaven by Christ. This is often termed the Rapture. The world in general may not be aware of this event at the time but should notice that many Bible-believing Christians will suddenly not be there among them. Many who attend church may however not disappear; far too many believe in a non-biblical gospel such as calvinism, mormons, jehovah’s witnesses, and other worldly or cult-like beliefs.

6/. World war will erupt in the middle-east with an army (including from Iran, Turkey, Russia, Libya and Ethiopia) invading Israel.

It is not certain exactly when the Church will be taken away from the earth, but it is likely to be just before or after the time Israel is invaded.

7/. When Israel is invaded, a ruler of Europe (unknown as yet, only to be revealed as the antichrist after the Church has been taken away) will sign a defence treaty or pact with Israel. At this point there will be just seven years left remaining before Armageddon. Once the Church has departed earth, it will be too late for most people to be saved, for now salvation is no longer via the Gentile (non-Israel) church, returning to Israel.

8/. A European army (led by the one who will be called the antichrist) will attack the invading armies and utterly destroy them; also sending destruction upon the nations from where the invading armies came. The war commenced by the antichrist will continue for seven years, culminating in the final battle to end all battles: Armageddon.

9/. There will be seven years of the most intense affliction ever, so much so that it is already termed the great Tribulation. Joel says “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” (Joel 2:31), and Jesus said, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21-22)

10/. Either before or soon after the antichrist defeats the armies invading Israel, a new Temple will be built in order that Old Testament sacrifices be restored; these sacrifices will be cancelled again at the mid-point of those seven years when the antichrist sits in the Temple demanding that God’s people Israel worship him in the Temple (as satan) (see Daniel 9:27).

11/. To make way for the new Temple, other buildings and structures on Temple Mount will be removed or destroyed first. This may or may not occur before the Church departs the earth.

12/. Seven years after the antichrist signs that defence treaty with Israel, the antichrist attacks Jerusalem with a huge army of all the nations, with Christ returning to destroy the antichrist’s army before setting up His 1000 year millennial kingdom of peace.

13/. Israel will take possession of all Palestine; all other dwellers will be removed either before the coming 7-year period, or during it.

14/. Eventually Israel will be granted all its land as promised via the Abrahamic covenant, including land now controlled by Jordan, Lebanon and Gaza. Tyre will be rendered uninhabitable, and Gaza will become a place for grazing livestock.

15/. The purpose of these end-times is for God to reclaim title to His people Israel and to the world He created. When Christ sets up His 1000 reign on earth, He will possess title to all His creation and to His people Israel (plus others who have become associated with Israel because of their support for Israel. This requires world leaders to be challenged for that title just as God called Moses to challenge pharaoh for the title of God’s people Israel. And just as God chose pharaoh to be the one Moses challenged (Romans 9:17), God has chosen much of today’s world leadership to be challenged so that God would win the title He desires. And just as pharaoh was not permitted to back off the battle until he’d lost all, today’s leaders will not be permitted to back off the battle until they too have lost all that God demands of them.
