Following is an excerpt from The Sacred Name Broadcaster.

 

Cover December 2001

 

Before me on my desk as I prepare this message is a copy of a newspaper clipping which has been sent in by one of the Assemblies of Yahweh ministers. This newspaper article deals with the rising religious organization called, "The Ch-rch of Satan." It seems that this religious group has been growing quite rapidly over the past several years since its inception and is gaining much attention among the sensationalist news media. This particular clipping, however, is not from one of the scandal sheet papers, but it is from the rather reserved Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin.

It seems that the Ch-rch of Satan is now a tax-exempt religious organization, it even has branches in prisons, and it is fully protected by the laws of the United States and the individual states in which they operate. This protection is quite alarming since the group is admittedly committed to seeking revenge upon other individuals who may possibly have wronged one of their members. In other words, the recognition of the United States government and the laws of the states now would condone or sanction personal injury by one individual against another. This is diametrically opposed to the code of conduct which our government has always attempted to enforce. And when we consider that this personal injury in vengeance is being perpetrated in the name of religion, the situation becomes doubly alarming!

Could it be that in the end days mortal man would actually be worshipping Satan? You might believe that this is a puzzling question, nevertheless in reality your Bible predicts that in the end times the worship of demons or Satan would be flourishing. YOU ARE LIVING IN THESE END TIMES RIGHT NOW.

Turn with me to Revelation 9:20-21, "And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." How shocking a situation is described by this passage, and yet, look around and note for yourself just how this passage is being fulfilled in our world today. With the unconcealed worship of Satan which is being described in this newspaper article one can truly observe the degeneration of our modern day society.

Have you ever asked yourself why it is that there are so many different cults arising on the religious spectrum in our time? Is it not that people have lost their faith in the Bible and are turning elsewhere for answers to the complexities which engulf our modern world? The Bible has been turned into a book of fables, mystery, doubt, and suspicion. The reason for this trend is that few people really understand the message of the Bible.

Here we find manifested the concrete basis for the True Worship, the True Religion. The exclusive worship of one Almighty Being Who is powerful enough to command respect and Who will eventually emerge as our strong Mighty One requires total humility and submission to His will. His Name is Yahweh, and HE HAS ONLY ONE NAME. And then, you see, the devil departed from the Messiah because He had been able to say "no" in the time of testing and temptation.

Please note here that following His baptism, Yahshua the Messiah went into the wilderness of Judah, high up on the cliff overlooking the Jordan Valley. He was looking across into the Plain of Moab where Israel encamped just before entering the Promised Land. Here was where Moses preached His last sermon, recorded in the book of Deuteronomy, wherein he gave final instructions to his people before His own demise. Was Yahshua the Messiah remembering this bygone time as He came face to face with the Adversary and his temptations? Was this the reason all three quotes were taken from the book of Deuteronomy? We can only consider these possibilities because we are not definitely told.

You may be in Satan’s ch-rch today and may not even know it. If you are a member of a religious organization teaching situation ethics, a social gospel, ruling in a kingdom now, liberalizing doctrine and practice, or putting Almighty Yahweh to the test by such things as snake handling, or making irresponsible prophecies, then begin now to study your Bible and learn what it means to be in true worship. Time is indeed short! "But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (Daniel 12:4). Why not learn more of the truth as it has become available in the last days? May we help you?
