What Is This War Against God?

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, 
and their armies, gathered together to make
 war against Him that sat on the horse,
 and against His army. And the east was taken, 
and with him the false prophet that wrought 
miracles before him, with which he deceived them 
that had received the mark of the beast, 
and them that worshiped his image. These both 
were cast alive into a lake of burning with brimstone.
 And the remnant were slain with the sword of Him 
that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out 
of His mouth: and all the fouls were filled 
with their flesh.
Revelation 19:19-21

     Question: How does one make war with God? Satan is our example as to how to make war with God. Satan did not context the power of God for if he did he would have been destroyed by the power of God. This Satan did not due, rather he challenged the authority of God. This cast a different light upon this defection from God so that God needed to, by His judgment, defeat Satan must used a different approach than power. How? To allow Satan to attempt to rule God's creation, especially man, then when Satan could not cause all men to follow him, and showing that this attempt to be god was an offense that warranted death, God now could destroy Satan by His power. God cannot be judged as wrong to destroy Satan. God in all times gave to man revelations as to Who He is, how to understand Him, what to do to show allegiance to Him. Remember, man was made in the image of God, therefore, when nations are examined and their religions it is simple to understand that man has always had an idea of God, wanted God, developed a religion as to what they determined God to be. Albeit, their determination was not built upon God's revelation to them, but by the revelation given to them by men who followed after Satan and were in the image of Satan. 
     This false beast attempted to use that he used miracles, signs and wonders, even visions are included in those supposed miracles as to their allegiance to God. Is this not what is being done today by those who claim to use miracles, visions, and wonders as though their is a restoration within the Church? Yes! But, Jesus gave this to us: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in they name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart form me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:21-23). These that do these things that Jesus condemned as false prophets, beasts, and are deceiving men and women. They will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire here represents the ever burning fire of the trash dump in Jerusalem, the Valley of Hinnon. Here trash, the unwanted trash, the criminals not thought worthy of burial were cast and there in this fire they were consumed into obliteration. Along the edges of this dump were worms eating that which the fire did not destroy. We have a picture of death. You do not escape this death. 
     The rider upon the white horse with the sword proceeding from His mouth destroys all who will not follow Him, and this following must be in accordance with the truth of Scripture and not some man-made doctrine or belief. God will now do what the earth groans to have happen: By His power destroy the destroyer: Satan. Along with the destruction of Satan are those who believe in a god that is not the God of the Bible, the true God of the Bible and not some interpretation as to who God. The Mormons say that God has a body making God to be anthropromorphized. Those who make Jesus to be a created being, no matter what state or position they make Jesus. 
     You must decide as to which camp you want to be in, Satan's or God's. Are you fighting God, that image that God put into you, or are you accepting the image of Satan? Do not change your mind out of fear of death. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior. Repent of your sins, those sins against a holy God and be saved. Repent, to turn 180 degrees from where you are now and return to God. Yes, a burning lake of fire is for those who will not repent. And yes for those who truly repent everlasting life is the reward. Choose well!

And Moses said unto the people, 
     Fear not: For God is come to
prove you, and that His fear may 
    be before your faces, that ye
sin not.
                  Exodus 20:20

Praise God! He loves His children
