US troops have been deployed in four central African nations to help the fight against a brutal rebel group called the Lord's Resistance Army and will act as advisers in the fight against Joseph Kony, a bush fighter and leader of the LRA who is wanted for crimes against humanity. The Lord's Resistance Army has been involved in mobilizing combatants and militant leaders who have carried out horrible atrocities and the LRA's tactics have been widely condemned as vicious.
US Special Ops forces are helping to fight the LRA and to stop their slaughter of thousands of civilians and the kidnapping of children to be child soldiers.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With
the deployment of US Special Ops forces into Africa to shut down the Lord's Resistance Army, the world has become aware of how religion is being used today to set the stage for the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
News reports have been coming out of Africa for years about what is referred to as children armies, recruiting young children to become fierce fighters and even killers of hundreds of thousands of Africans. The driving force behind these acts of crimes against humanity is the Lord's Resistance Army that is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of African people and the recruitment of these young children to be warriors. US Special Ops forces have been deployed to assist in helping to bring down Joseph Kony, the leader of the LRA, and bring about an end to these atrocities. This report does bring to our attention the part that religion, not Christianity, but religion is playing today on our world scene and the key role it will play in the future.
Revelation 17 is a prophecy of a one world religion that will be on the scene in the first half of the seven year Tribulation period. This will be a false religion that is headquartered in Rome, Italy and is led by the Antichrist. When this false church is destroyed at the midway point of the Tribulation, Revelation 17:16, the Antichrist will go to Jerusalem, walk into the Temple, and claim to be God (II Thessalonians 2:4) and at this time, he will cause the world to worship him (Revelation 13:13-15). Religion will indeed play a key role in the last days.
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
