BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
ABSTRACT: Statistics indicate that if the world were judged today ONLY 1% of all people on earth would inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh. Various critical statistics are reported to demonstrate the extremely serious spiritual state of the world today. It is stated that these statistics clearly indicate that Satan is winning the battle.
Various scriptures are presented to show that it is the responsibility of believers to have spiritual dominion over the earth by preaching the Good News to ALL the world and that believers are responsible for establishing the spiritual conditions necessary for Satan to be cast into the Bottomless Pit for a thousand years. The need for an integrated plan to restore truth and preach the Good News is stated. Readers are challenged to ask themselves every time they look in the mirror "What are YOU going to do about it?"

SATAN IS WINNING THE BATTLE HANDS DOWN
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
The article "The Evangelism Iceberg in 2001: Strategic Objectives Of The Kingdom Of Yahweh" (reference 1A1.01.08.11, dated 21 August, 2001) reported a number of critical statistics regarding the spiritual state of the World today.
The following are key figures:
1) If judged today, 99% of all people on earth would NOT inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh.
ONLY 1%, or approximately 61.6 million will inherit the Kingdom. This represents only 4% of all who apply the demographic label "Christian" to themselves and 6% of all who have a personal saving knowledge of Yahshua Messiah / Jesus Christ.
This situation results in part from the level of deception that Satan has introduced into the world and from ignorance BUT largely from lack of focussed, effective, coordinated global action by believers.
2) Of the approximately 25% of the world population that apply demographic labels relating to "Christianity" to themselves, approximately 509 million or 33% do not have a personal saving knowledge of Yahshua Messiah / Jesus Christ. These people do not KNOW that they are in error and DO NOT KNOW that they are in jeopardy!
The LIES which give rise to this deception originate from Satan, the father of all lies (John 8:44).
3) Currently approximately 70% of all marriages in the Body of Believers end in "divorce" and remarriage, the majority for unscriptural reasons resulting in the vast majority being adulterers.
500 million believers, if judged today, would not inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh because of adultery.
Wrong doctrines regarding marriage account for a substantial percentage of those who will not inherit the Kingdom today. They also keep millions, if not billions, from saving Knowledge of Yahshua Messiah.
These LIES originate from Satan, the father of all lies (John 8:44).
4) In the World at large, certainly the "Western" / euro-centric world, secular statistics indicate that approximately one third of all girls lose their virginity by age fourteen and two thirds by age sixteen. The vast majority are NOT virgins on their legal "wedding" night and approximately two thirds have had sex with at least one other man prior to legal "marriage". All of these people are adulterers according to Scripture.
This situation results in large measure from the lies told by Satan and preached by the "Christian church" (John 8:44).
5) Virtually the entire world knows the Creator and Father of Adonai Yahshua Messiah (Lord Jesus Christ) as "the LORD" which is the correct English translation of "Baal" the pagan Phoenician idolatrous deity repeatedly condemned in Scripture and it is only by the Grace of Yahweh (the Creator) that the prayers of the vast majority of those who pray to "the LORD" are answered.
This LIE originates from Satan, the father of all lies (John 8:44).
6) Yahshua Messiah was hung or impaled (suspended vertically between one nail through His hands and one through His feet) on a vertical stake or tree WITHOUT a cross-member, yet almost the entire "Christian" world believes that He was "crucified" on a "cross" which has a symbolism associated with various idolatrous and pagan rites and which potentially brings a curse on those who use it! Again, it is an act of GREAT GRACE on the part of Yahweh that He has protected Believers from the consequences of their ignorance.
This LIE originates from Satan, the father of all lies (John 8:44).
7) Worldwide many nations which are nominally "Christian" preach and practice very little IF ANY "Christianity" in Government, Education or Business and, in many countries, including the United States, prayer and Bible reading in Schools is prohibited.
The life style of many who call themselves "Christians" is frequently not distinguishable from those who do not and, sadly, many who do not believe attribute their rejection of the faith to the unacceptable conduct of those who claim to believe.
Overall, the doctrines of the "Christian church" are so far removed from the fundamentals of Scripture that any person who takes the trouble to read the Bible will rapidly find irreconcilable differences between the teachings and practices of the "Church" and Scripture. For example, throughout Scripture there are numerous examples of men who are highly regarded in Scripture having more than one wife and yet the vast majority of the "Church" viciously condemns this practice and preaches against it. The seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) is arbitrarily replaced with a first day sabbath (Sunday) which was originally dedicated to the worship of the Sun. The birth of Yahshua at Tabernacles (September / October) is celebrated at "Christmas", the birth date of the Sun God. The list is considerable. Some of these aspects have been addressed in detail in previous articles on this list over the past eighteen months.
These LIES originate from Satan, the father of all lies (John 8:44).
THE BOTTOM LINE?
SATAN IS WINNING THE BATTLE HANDS DOWN!!
In secular terms, any enemy that achieved the level of victory presented above would be regarded as having WON THE WAR!!
YET, many Believers keep trumpeting from the pulpits of the world "READ THE BACK OF THE BOOK -- WE WIN!!"
The problem is, it is not necessarily "WE" who win, it is Yahweh who wins, assisted by those who "overcome to the end" who win and, as has been repeatedly addressed on the End Time Issues List over the past eighteen months, there are MANY factors which determine who the overcomers will be. Revelation 21:7-8 clearly states "7 "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his Elohim and he shall be My son. 8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."" (NKJ adjusted)
In Truth, Yahweh WILL WIN the war at the end, BUT He requires those people who were bought at the price of Yahshua's terrible Sacrifice at Golgotha (Calvary) (1 Corinthians 6:20 and 1 Corinthians 7:23) to take responsibility for fighting the war, NOT in the physical, earthly realm, but in the spiritual realm, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (NKJ Ephesians 6:12).
Many Believers are waiting to be "raptured" and taken off into heaven while Yahshua returns to fight a battle on earth to defeat Satan. However, there is NO Scripture that indicates that this will occur. Revelation 20:1-6 states "1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Yahshua and for the word of Yahweh, who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with the anointing [Messiah] for a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Yahweh and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (NKJ adjusted)
There are diverse interpretations of this passage, BUT what is very clear is that whether the reference to the anointing [Messiah] in verses 4 and 6 refers to the physical return of Yahshua Himself as is almost universally taught OR to the anointing of the set apart (Holy) Spirit of Yahweh which is what the words used actually signify and is what the writer is firmly persuaded is intended here, Satan MUST BE CAST INTO THE PIT BEFORE they reign with Messiah or, if you will, before they reign with Yahshua Messiah!
In other words, YOU AND I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE the events of Revelation 20 can come to pass!
Matthew 28:18-20 states "18 And Yahshua came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen." (NKJ adjusted) Yahshua clearly stated that because all authority "has" (present tense, therefore NOW PAST TENSE) been given unto Him, His disciples should THEREFORE (i.e as a consequence) GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES of ALL nations teaching them to observe ALL things that He had commanded them.
This was simply a restatement of Yahweh's command to Adam to take dominion over the earth, given in Genesis 1:26-31 before Adam sinned "26 Then Yahweh said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So Yahweh created man in His own image; in the image of Yahweh He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then Yahweh blessed them, and Yahweh said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 And Yahweh said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 "Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." (NKJ adjusted)
Yahweh told MAN to take dominion, man missed it and gave dominion to Satan, Yahweh sent Yahshua to REGAIN AUTHORITY and Yahshua in turn gave that authority to His disciples, US!!
It is OUR responsibility to preach the Good News to EVERY NATION AND EVERY CREATURE and THEN the end will come as specified in Matthew 24:14 ""And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (NKJ) and Mark 16:15 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (NKJ)
UNTIL we do what we have been commanded to do, there is NO WAY that Satan will be cast into the Bottomless Pit NOR will Yahshua return on the clouds of Heaven!
In order to do this, there is a Critical need for a coordinated, holistic plan of action to restore truth to the Body of Believers and to preach the Good News to ALL the world.
THE QUESTION WE MUST EACH ASK OURSELVES WHENEVER WE LOOK IN THE MIRROR IS: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

CLOSURE
It is hoped that this article has greatly challenged you.
Father, in the Name of Yahshua may all that is according to Your Will and Your Word in this article find deep root in the hearts of the readers and if there is anything that is not of You let it find no root at all.
It is our prayer 17 that the Elohim of our Adonai Yahshua Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Body, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-23 NKJ adjusted)
May Yahweh bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. In the name of Adonai Yahshua Messiah, King of kings and Adonai of lords. Amen.
