If we don’t know the true original pattern, we will most likely accept the counterfeit. When our God came to us in the Body of Jesus, He provided atonement for the purpose of reinstating mankind’s original role as priest, which is (1) to glorify God and reveal His will and (2) king, which is to steward and administrate His will. When Jesus came, He reinaugurated the Priesthood of Melchizedek, who was both Priest and King. In God’s brilliant architecture of Man’s governance in the earth, He designed a religious (priesthood) branch of government and a civil (kingship) branch of government so that righteous nations would experience the justice and prosperity of the balance of power. The Melchizedek Priesthood facilitates a global invitation through the Gospel back into the echad (oneness) with God and His Kingdom being manifested in the earth – our original design and commission in the earth!
Satan’s goal and strategy is to replace and hijack God’s true model of echad with his counterfeit, Mystery Babylon. Just as the Priesthood of Melchizedek, Mystery Babylon will have (1) a religious branch and (2) a governmental branch. Satan simply inverts God’s blueprint. The copycat Satan has dressed up in messianic wanna-bes from the beginning. He desires his own bride, his own kingdom complete with priestly and governmental branches all culminating into global oneness praising and glorifying him – the envy of all that rightfully belongs to the True and Faithful King Jesus!
In part, Satan enjoys much of this now. When Satan tempted Jesus with all the kingdoms of this world, it was a legitimate offer! He had hijacked the rightful priesthood of Adam and, up until Jesus, enjoyed the spoils as ruler of the Dominion of Sin. However, when Jesus came, He deauthorized the dominion of sin and invited Mankind back into our restored rightful identity and position by accepting the exclusivity of our Creator’s One Atonement and allegiance to His Name, Jesus Christ, to be reinstated into His Holy Echad! Satan campaigns in a counterfeit to this echad by inverting God’s exclusivity with inclusivity, merging all pluralities as one.
As mentioned at the beginning of this section, Mystery Babylon is the proper name given by the Bible to the end-time embodiment of Satan’s final religious and governmental satanic system. It is the accrued momentum of the mystery of lawlessness through earth’s history finding full expression in the end-times.
We need to prepare ourselves for the fact that an ugly, possessed by Satan, antichrist with horns, wearing a t-shirt that says, “Hi, I am the Son of Perdition” is not going to show up! No, the global marketing strategy for Mystery Babylon will be to hijack all the concepts of good and use them as a humanistic force towards an illusive global good and unity. Mystery Babylon is not “anti-god.” On the contrary, it will encourage the oneness of all religious diversity as well as the oneness of all sovereign states of governments and economies. The Bible details for us how this campaign of counterfeit replacement was, is and will be carried out and is patterned throughout history.
It is the prophetic order’s responsibility to discern the enemy’s latest repackaging of the lie and dismantle it to their generation. By attempting to be progressive, far too many of the well intended never make it out of the curve of their culture. They become capricious with the admixture of good and evil – thinking they have made peace with their generation have simply doomed them to compromise. From the beginning to the end, God’s Kingdom code of order is a divisionary process unto that which is good and holy that culminates in the expectant RETURN OF THE TRUE MESSIAH!
Satan’s code of order has been to merge, without a divisionary process, culminating all entities into a global oneness under the deceitful campaign of the greater good of humanity – in fact, the promised outcome is that all humanity will become as god. Same-o, same-o lie, promising to be like god, independent from God, to become god.
Now having a preliminary understanding of the origins of our enemy, what he wants, and his strategy to get it, we will shift to a rapid pace in following his campaign of counterfeit replacement patterned throughout history!
