In the first segment of this blog; The Haters of Reality - Part 1, we discussed the current turmoil in American society; the surging problem of Liberalism and Relativism; and the one behind it all: the Father of Lies - Lucifer. We now continue onward.
'The City of Enoch
.
After Adam’s fall at the dawn of creation (Gen. 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-19), Adam and Eve’s first born son Cain followed Lucifer’s example of following his own godless and vain imagination. In this manner Cain abandoned Almighty God’s presence and possible redemption to live out his temporal existence in a delusional system he and his progeny created (Gen. 4:16-17; Jude 11a). Cain replaced the truth (reality) and sovereignty of Almighty God with his own self-governed, godless system. In the process he founded a city named Enoch, dominated by Cainitic culture (Gen 4:17-24). The final fruit and outworking of this godless endeavor ended in lawlessness, anarchy and violence. In the end, divine judgment from Almighty God destroyed this corrupt and godless civilization with a global flood (Gen 6:1-7; James 1:15; 2 Peter 2:5-6).
The City of Babel
.
Within a few centuries after the judgment on Cain’s delusional and godless system by means of the Noahic flood, another godless system emerged on the face of the earth (Gen. 11:1-9). The descendants of Noah began to build another city. The ruler of this city, Babel - capital of the ancient kingdom of Babylon - was Nimrod (Gen. 10:8-10). Babel, however, was like none other city built before it. The builders of this city sought not only to set up another delusional, godless system, but they introduced an “alternative creator” or substitute deity (“an abomination”) in the place of Almighty God (Rev. 17:2, 5).
When the triune Godhead saw what was transpiring in the plains of Shinar (i.e., the city of Babel), in His grace and mercy He changed their common language to many different languages (tongues), creating a situation where people divided into various clans and tribes. Babel’s inhabitants were then scattered across the face of the earth (Gen. 10; 11:9). This event forestalled the result of a one-world godless state and postponed God’s judgment on this delusional system until a much later time in the future (Rev. 17:1-5; 18:3-5; 19:2). From this divine judgment and dispersion the nations were born (Gen. 10).
The Nations of the Earth were:
- Conceived in a concerted, godless rebellion (Gen 11:1-9, Rev. 17:5, Acts 17:26).
- Born (brought forth) in divine judgment (Gen 10, 11:1-9, Rev 17:5, Acts 17:26).
- Reared (raised) in godless unbelief and ignorance (Acts 17:26 -30, Rom 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-3,11,4:17).
- Lived out in carelessness, depravity and violence (Matt 6:6, Acts 14:14-16, Rom 1:24-32, Eph. 2:11,4:17, 1 Thess. 4:5, 1 Peter 4:3, Rev 6:4-8, 13:1-10, 18:23-24).
- Terminated in vanity, wrath (judgment) and eternal damnation (Psa. 2; Psa. 110; Dan. 7:43-44; Matt. 25:31-32, 41; Acts 17:31; 2 Thess. 2:7-9; 1 Peter 2:12; Rev. 16:13-16; 19:11-20; 20:7-9).
.
Note: Only a small remnant of all the nations - from Babel to the end of the age - will place their their faith and trust in Almighty God for salvation. These (i.e., the saved of the nations) are the ones whom God foreknew while He spared the inhabitants of Babel from total destruction. In His grace and mercy He chose rather to "babble" their languages and scatter them throughout the world (note the commandment of Almighty God in Gen. 9:1) - Zech. 14:16; Matt. 25:31-34; Rev. 14:9-14; 21:24.
.
As the rebellious inhabitants of Babel were scattered across the face of the earth,they took with them the godless, “alternative reality” and philosophy of the city of Babel (Rev. 17:1-5). As time passed, the nations became immersed and cemented in their godless cultures and philosophies, and they have reaped the consequences of their godless practices unto this day (Rom. 1:18-32).
- "This 'Babelology' of a godless politico-religious ideology and philosophy still dominates our world today...."
The Final Delusion of Desolation - 666
With the ongoing, exponential advancements in technology and media today, the language/ culture/ geography barriers that are restraining the global unification necessary for Lucifer’s godless, global state are eroding right before our very eyes. Global unification and a New World Order is not just a delusional “pipe dream” anymore - it is fast becoming a REALITY. We are at the very doorstep of Satan’s global, fascist state ruled by his lawless minion, the Anti-Christ (Dan. 2:41-43; 7:8, 19-21, 25; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13).
"It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences."
It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences. (Luke 4:5-6; Eph. 2:1-2; 6:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Rev. 16:13-16). This trend is a driving force that is setting the stage even now for the world’s final showdown against Almighty God, His sovereign authority and eternal reign on earth and in heaven. This final showdown is called the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2; Dan. 2:43-44; Joel 3:2; Zech. 14:2; Rev. 16:13-16). Once the Rapture of the Church takes place, Almighty God’s restraint will be removed (2 Thess. 2:3, 6-8). The dam - as it were - will be removed and the godless, base practices and the unbridled passions of man will be unleashed to flood the world with godlessness and lawlessness. As these awesomely turbulent times of global calamities come to pass, the world will look for a scapegoat. Feelings of anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel will intensify as never before (Matt. 24:12; Rev. 12:17).
As the Anti-Christ rises to power, he will seek to exalt himself over all and will accomplish his despotic goal (2 Thess. 2:2-4). He will use the massive devastations, the fallout from global wars and natural disasters inflicted on this earth by Almighty God to seize unlimited power and authority over all the earth (Rev. 13). The Beast (Anti-Christ) will seek to change the times and the seasons (Dan 7:25). He will rewrite Almighty God’s eternal, spiritual and natural laws of creation, and enact his own secular, godless agenda upon the masses of humanity. He will lead a global assault on Almighty God, decimate all ideologies tending toward truth, and eradicate the followers of Christ/ Messiah (God’s lovers of reality and truth) - Rev. 13:7; 17:12-17; Rom. 8:36. Anti-Christ will impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause all to worship both himself and his “father,” a.k.a. “Lucifer, the son of the morning” (Isa. 14:12); “that old serpent” (Rev. 12:9; Gen. 3:1-4); “a great red dragon” (Rev. 12:3-4); and “the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). In this, his mad attempt, Anti-Christ will ULTIMATELY SUCCEED! (2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 16-18).
"Anti-Christ will impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause all to worship both himself and his 'father,' a.k.a. Lucifer....”
This vile act will indeed constitute a great insanity. The whole world will reject their Creator to follow and worship this lawless one (Satan’s Anti-Christ) with great passion and zeal (Rev. 13:3, 8; 17:16, 17). They will do so with the veritable understanding that they are fully rejecting Almighty God and His saving grace for their lost souls (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 14:9-11). These doomed "Haters of Reality" will be quite willing to follow their delusion through to the end. They will be thus damned for all eternity in Almighty God’s prison and “junk yard” called the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14-15). This fate would they choose rather than to repent and honor their Creator and Savior (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 9:20-21). This “Abomination of abominations,” which the world of that day will choose to worship, only brings these Haters of Reality to an absolute and eternal desolation (Dan. 9:27; Matt 24:15, Rev. 14:9-11).
The Eternal Prison of Reality
At the end of the 1000-year reign of Christ, all Haters of Reality will be confronted with their most feared phobia. They will come face to face with the FINAL REALITY of time and eternity, and be ushered into the very presence of Almighty God - the Righteous Judge - at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Here these sin-ridden, rebellious masses of countless multitudes from the beginning of time to the end of the millennial reign of Christ will give a "final, full account" to Almighty God. We do not read in Revelation 20:11-15 that even ONE person will open their month in protest. The delusional and darkened imaginations of fallen man will be obliterated by the ETERNAL LIGHT of reality. Upon the divine and righteous judgment from Almighty God, the lost Haters of Reality are cast into Almighty God’s ETERNAL prison called "the Lake of Fire.” Here in their unregenerate state they will FOREVER have to give account for each and every sin - from the smallest transgression to the vilest of thoughts, words and acts. Hear what Almighty God’s Word says concerning these wretches and their wretched estate:
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found NO PLACE FOR THEM (Rev. 20:11). He that is unjust (unrighteous, broken), let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous (cf. Rom. 10:4), let him be righteous still: and he that is holy (set apart by Almighty God), let him be holy still (Rev. 22:11)."
The souls of unregenerate men and women will forever remain in their misery and terrible condition. They will be left with their memories and reminders of their rejection of Almighty God’s pardon to reap the devastating, eternal consequences (cf. Luke 16:23-25). The tragic end result for these individuals is that they will have to personally and perpetually answer to Almighty God for each infraction and every violation of Almighty God’s Natural Laws of time and Eternal Spiritual Laws of forever.

"At the end of time these Haters of Reality will abide forevermore in the presence of ABSOLUTE REALITY in torment and anguish."
The most tragic thing imaginable for a human being is to be thus left to their own darkened and delusional thought process. From Lucifer to his fallen angels (demons), from Cain to Nimrod, from Babel’s scattered founders of the nations to the Anti-Christ, from Gog and Magog in the middle of the Great Tribulation to the Great Rebellion at the end of the Millennium - at the end of time these Haters of Reality will abide forevermore in the presence of ABSOLUTE REALITY in torment and anguish.
The Lovers of Reality
Almighty God calls out to all today to be saved (i.e., delivered) from the “wrath to come” (John 3:17; 12:47). God calls us to abandon our delusional philosophies and ideologies and follow after His eternal absolutes of reality and truth. The Lord Jesus said, "I am the way, the TRUTH (reality), and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but (except) by me" (John 14:6). "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH" (John 4:24). "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy TRUTH: thy word is TRUTH" (John 17:16-17).
Because of His great love for us, Almighty God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to eternally save us (John 3:16-17), and to deliver us from the bondage of our trespasses and fallen nature (Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-7). In reading this very sobering post may you consider very seriously the VERY REAL realities of time and eternity, and understand how desperately you need the person of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, as your Personal Savior. May it be so for you to be found a Lover - and not a Hater - of Reality. Place your trust in Christ TODAY! You will NEVER be the same!
