PRISONS WITHIN A PRISON

  
   The Roman Empire never officially ended:  it never died. 
   The Roman Empire underwent a transformation, a change of mind, and Rome invented a new way of doing the same old business.  Instead of remaining a political empire, Rome became a religious empire.  Instead of becoming a religious empire with multiple religions, the leaders chose one religion and named it Christianity---while Rome's paganism was hidden beneath the banner of Christianity.  Instead of Rome having its pagan gods outdoors, pagan gods were moved beneath the floor of the new religion.  Pagan priests became eccelestical priests and caesars became popes.  The priests and popes came forth to minister the office of Rome's new look, in the sanctuaries of cathedrals, after which they returned to their dens of darkness to worship their pagan gods.  That system has never changed.
   The transformation of Rome was a masterful work of deception:  a fresh coat of paint over the old paint, and with a huff and a puff, city hall became a church!  And the wrath of the Roman Empire continued.
   Jesus said,
   Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (Matthew 7:15)
   Behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.  (Luke 10:3)
   But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 3,4)
   the god of this world is Satan, for the earth is his kingdom; and all the people of the world are Satan's prisoners.  This prison is invisible, yet the evidence is clearly visible if we will open our eyes to the truth of Christ and look at all of the evil acts of people that are committed in this world every day. 
   True Christians are we who have been born again in Christ within Satan's prison system.  We are now the children of light and we are the lightbearers to people still lost in the darkness of Satan's world system.  And because religions are creations out of the imaginations of men, religions are therefore prisons within Satan's prison system.  People of religions are lost, living in darkness, but they believe they will go to a heaven when they die because they are deceived by the lies they are being told by their prison taskmasters, ministers and priests.
   Satan does not like true Christians; and neither does Satan's ministers and priests of religions.
   Satan's people are in positions of leadership all over the world, beginning in the family with parents.  Other positions of leadership include people of governments, bankers and financial institutions, educational systems, law enforcement agencies, as well as any person and every person who has rejected Christ.
  All of Satan's agents, all over the world, are people who reject God, reject Christ, and reject the Holy Bible; and they are doing everything in their power to eliminate Christians, churches, and Bibles from the face of the earth.  They operate in slow and in subtle ways because they are deceivers.   Many are religious people of various religions while many disguise themselves as Christians as operatives within Christian churches. 
   False prophets are therefore secret agents of Satan's prison system.  These secret agents are from religious secret societies but they are also from occultic secret societies.  Their mission is to create diversions, which will divert the attention of people away from Christ.
   Added together, antichrists and false prophets are working to abolish true Christianity and to establish a New World Order that will create a global religious/political system, which will welcome Antichrist, the false messiah, who will rule over the earth.
   Thus, the ancient Roman Empire will rise again, for it was in Rome where a line of antichrists began in the Church of Rome and it is in Rome today where the leadership of the Vatican is antichrist.  For it will also be from the Vatican that the pope, at a later date, will announce that all religions are one:  and thus people in various prison religions throughout the world will be brought together in one religious prison, a world of deep darkness.
   Therefore, the world system we live in is a prison, Satan is the warden, and the world system, in total, is antichrist because the world lacks the love of God.  As more people receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour, the more love of God becomes present in this world.
   To be saved by Christ, people must be willing to let go of their religions and religious idols:  for there will not be religions, nor religious idols, in God's heaven.  Salvation in Christ frees people from Satan's prison. 
   Amen.
