What I am noticing now, while reading through the
Left Behind Series— and is most distressing, is the
progressive worsening
of the character of the Tribulation Force as the series
progresses.
For example, in the book, Assassins, Buck, seeking a fake I.D. card, asks Zeke
to "Yeah, make me a card-carrying member of Enigma Babylon Faith." And
an organ donor. Why not?" Assassins, page 189 WHY NOT INDEED!
Buck, a "Christian" in this series, chooses to pledge allegiance to
the one-world faith of Antichrist via a fake I.D.? This is putting a
dangerous example of go-along-with-the-program into the readers' minds.
"Oh, this is just fiction hung upon a scriptural outline! The Left Behind promoters cry! The writers are making it appear to the reader that it
acceptable to God, under trying circumstances, to deny Christ and pledge
allegiance to Satan. At least one can pretend to be a member of Satan's
religion if times get rough, right?
Why are Christian believers languishing in prisons today if all they needed
to do was confess that they adhered to whatever the state religion demanded? If
this is biblically accurate for the characters in the Left Behind series to do
this, then why have Christians been imprisoned and martyred for their faith for
two centuries? Why don't the Chinese Christians just sign a paper saying they
will be communist atheists, and secretly continue to serve Christ? Because they
would lose the testimony of Jesus Christ, that's why! They know God's word is
true and that they must endure: "II TIMOTHY 2:12 "If we endure, we
shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us."
Placing a confession of allegiance to a false god on a fake I.D. that one is
passing off as one's own, definitely renounces allegiance to the Lord
Jesus Christ, plain and simple! The books teach over and over that INWARD
allegiance to Christ is all that is necessary to stand firm in the faith, and
that living as if one is serving the Antichrist is permitted under the
circumstances. This is an blatant example of of a believer going along
with the New World Order, of which denying the Lord Jesus Christ and embracing
Antichrist is a mandate.
Is pretending to merge with the New World Order, and working for the
head of it--the Antichrist--the faith of Jesus Christ? No!
If these books are "hung on a scriptural outline" then why are the believers
becoming more ungodly and compromising as time goes by? Is this the
patience of the saints? Is this keeping the works of Jesus? No!
