Two Parts of the Flood Coming Out of the Mouth of the Serpent: Revelation 12: 15
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7: 12
A collectivist and totalitarian society, ruled from the top by a small elite, does not live by the doctrine of Matthew 7: 12. Anyone with awareness and some knowledge of what is happening now can see how Matthew 7: 12 is being violated in so many ways in our society. American Christianity has not taught the doctrines of Christ well enough to help prevent
this violation of Matthew 7: 12.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3: 5-6
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." I John 2: 15-16
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8: 1
"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5: 17-21
Likewise see Mark 7: 20-23 "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
These behaviors in Mark 7: 20-23 are the works of the flesh.
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." I Corinthians 2: 14-15
The person who operates in the flesh and not in the Spirit does not discern the things of God, because one must have the Spirit in his spirit to do that.
Revelation 9: 13-18 says "13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men........18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths."
Fallen angels are released who inspire and lead many - most people - to have a diminished third part of the three-part make up of man, made in the image of God (Genesis 1: 27). Man is made of body, mind and spirit. Revelation 9: 13-18 is saying, in highly metaphoric language, that at the time of the Trumpet Judgments of Revelation 9 the third part of man, his spirit, will be so diminished that it can be said to have been "killed."
About a hundred and fifty years ago - plus or minus a couple of decades or so, depending on one's emphasis on 19th century developments within Christianity and in the humanistic ideology of the West, two parts of what is described in Revelation 12: 15 as a flood were cast out of the mouth of the serpent.
One part of this flood can be seen as humanistic philosophy which happened to have originated with German philosophers, such as Hegel and Marx. This kind of humanistic philosophy denied that there is a God, and it said that therefore since there is no God, there can be no absolute truths and no absolute morality. All is permitted.
Bolshevism developed under Lenin, Trotsky and others and drove the 1917 Revolution in Russia which created the Soviet Union. In the dialectic process, Nazi Germany arose in the early thirties to combat Russian Bolshevism. Both systems are totalitarian and collectivist.
Then in the 20th century there came a more "non-violent" form of Marxism which has been called Transformational Marxism. Transformational Marxism is a more subtle and deceptive form of Marxist humanism which fundamentally attacks the Christian faith and the strong family, both based on the patriarchal model. Transformational Marxism got its foot in the American door with the publication of the 1950 book, The Authoritarian Personality by Theodore W. Adorno and others. Adorno was a major leader of the Frankfurt School of Transformational Marxists who were run out of Germany in the thirties to the U.S. by the Nazis.
The Frankfurt School of Transformational Marxism did not call itself Marxist, and so it has had an influence on our culture since about 1950. It originally mixed Marx with Freud and in the U.S. mixed Marx with some movements within American psychology, such as the Group Dynamics, Personality-Social Psychology and Encounter Group movements of the fifties and sixties.
And - not only was Transformational Marxism anti-Christian at its core and recognizes only two parts of man, his body and his mind, but American psychology also sees only two parts of man, his body and his mind. In American psychology there is no spirit in man. In effect, Transformational Marxism and its allies the psychologists and psychiatrists have killed" the third part of man, his spirit.
Then, in addition to the form of humanism which arose about a hundred and fifty years ago as Marxism, there were within American Christianity several false theologies. The largest of these false theologies of the 19th century were the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons, Christian Science
and the theology developed by John Darby, Edward Irving and others in England, called dispensationalism. The American C.I. Scofield popularized dispensationalism in the late 19th century and especially after 1909 with his Reference Bible published by Oxford University press.
The flood coming out of the mouth of the Serpent
- or Dragon - is made up of two parts, humanism as anti-Christian Marxism and dispensationalism within Protestant Christianity. One arm of the flood of the Serpent is directed to change the larger culture, the culture surrounding the churches of the West, and the other arm of the flood is focused on changing the Gospel of Christ in ways that are not quite as obvious as those of the Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, but nevertheless it is another Gospel and a false man-made theology.
So, humanistic Marxism, and the form of this which invaded America was Transformational Marxism, combined with dispensationalism has so diminished the third part of Americans and others of the West, their spirit, which is
activated by the Holy Spirit, that in Revelation 9: 18 it is said to be "killed." In addition, the combination of Transformational Marxism and dispensationalism has severely diminished the True Gospel of Christ in the entire society.
Transformational Marxism with its more developed dialectic process of argument, or debate, has diminished faith in the Word of God as absolute truth, and as facts. And by 2013 Transformational Marxism has influenced the whole of American society and the Christian church has been influenced also.
"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.7. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." Psalm 12: 6-7
"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." Psalm 119: 89
"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Mathew 4: 4
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." II Peter 1: 21
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. II Timothy 3: 16
