Bigger Than our Understanding

MELISSA—The opposition to righteous legislative decisions is relentless because souls influenced by the spirit of the age are acting out what is going on in the spirit realm.  While it looks like evil is gaining control, what is really happening is that it is falling apart but needs to sound like it is still winning. This is why the opposition seems so fierce. What we saw in past months was God deal a death blow to the spirit of Molech.  Molech was a god to which Israelites sacrificed children and this is the spirit behind abortion.  This is the spirit behind sexualizing a nation through entertainment and social media.  So what just happened was bigger than we understand right now.


Big Battles

MELISSA—Of the battles currently happening, the biggest battle going on right here amongst us is our children vs. Molech.  Molech was the god of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom some Israelites sacrificed their infants (see Leviticus 18:21).  I don’t think it can get more obvious that evil is after the children.  The spirit of the Molech agenda is about conforming children (who make future adults/leaders) into confused, damaged, mindless and anomalous automatons that can be easily controlled and enslaved.  This is proof that it is powers and principalities we are warring against (Eph.6:12) and all of the misguided individuals hyping evil rhetoric are simply the victimized puppets.  If people think all of this is crazy, they better understand that this thing is steadily cranking up.  Early in the year 2022 my Dad heard, “By halloween of 2022 the underbelly of the USA will be exposed.”  And, to a considerable degree, it has with articles and news features even using the headline with the word “underbelly”.  All these types of, may I say, “explosive” issues show us that we better be aware and prepared for what’s just ahead. So, it may be a good idea for us all to pray and to get involved, at some level, in the culture: 1Tim.2:12,Amp—“First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people,  2  for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.”   Matt.5:16,Amp—“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.”


Old Enemies Infiltrating

KATHY—Beyond their worship of the false god Molech, the Ammonites were also known for their war practices being extremely violent. At one point, an Ammonite leader planned to gouge out the right eye of every Israelite as part of a treaty (1 Samuel 11:2).  Today’s parallel of their crippling violence is the new types of mobile technology that cripple the mind and pharmaceuticals and vaccines that disable nations. Scripture states that the Ammonites would rip open pregnant women in lands they had conquered (Amos 1:13). Is that not a parallel to abortion and destroying our children and their future?  Then just as the Ammonites and Moabites came against Israel intending to take their land that God had given them, America today is plagued with the same old enemies infiltrating communities, governments, businesses and media to dishonor our heritage and take the land God has given us. BUT, that is not the end of the story! While old enemies have not factored Almighty God into their plans, they cannot factor Him out!


The Molech Curse

KATHY—There is a  situation in 2Chronicles Chapter 20 that parallels our times in some meaningful ways and carries insight for us today.  The Ammonites and Moabites had a history with Israel.  In fact, they were perpetual enemies according to Deuteronomy 23, An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; nor their descendants forever, because they did not meet you with food and water on the way when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired Balaam to curse you.  You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever. 

Ammon means “inbred” and Moab means “incest”.  They were the sons of Lot by his two daughters.  From immoral beginnings came a generation with tainted thinking and warped values that would reach into their generations to come.  As children they were sabotaged and that sabotage continued with the god they worshiped.  The Ammonites worshiped Molech, the pagan god of child sacrifice.  Molech’s statue was the bronze body of a man with the head of a bull, and within it was a furnace where they boiled children alive in the bowels of the statue.  It is hard to believe but this demonic force still has presence in today’s world!  Many Catholics were outraged when a giant statue of Molech was placed in the Colosseum in Rome, November 8, 2019.  Also in 2019, it was reported that the child trafficker (Eppstein) featured a statue resembling Molech on his island.  The statue of Molech was also part of an exhibit in the city of Carthage in 2020.  A Molech statue, though given a different name, is also now in Detroit. Giving place to this evil is one of many sickening evidences of old enemies at work in our world.
