There is little doubt in my mind – that with the outbreak of the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917 – the same lying spirit that was let loose in the Revolutionary Terror that engulfed France at the close of the eighteenth century, was re-energised, and again erupted upon the war-weary world during the opening decades of the twentieth century – but this time in an explosion of a far greater-reaching and destructive magnitude . . .
The American journalist, and socialist, John Reed appropriately titled his first-hand account of the events of that epoch-shaking event, as Ten Days that Shook the World (1919).
(“And there was a great earthquake [revolution], such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.” Revelation 16:18).
The late Rev Richard Wurmbrand* in his book, Marx & Satan, shined the light of Truth into the spiritual darkness that lay within the hearts of the writers of The Communist Manifesto. Perversely it would be in Russia, amongst the people Marx describes as being “Slavic riffraff”, and a “retrograde” race, that his twisted ideology first fully blossomed and took hold – viz the following from Wurmbrand's above cited work:
“Marx wrote in his new year's roundup of 1848 about 'the Slavic riffraff,' which included [the] Russians [and their kindred peoples] . . . [He wrote that, what he termed] these 'retrograde' races had nothing left for them by fate except 'the immediate task of perishing in the revolutionary world storm.' [Marx also wrote that:] 'The coming world war will cause not only reactionary classes and dynasties, but entire reactionary peoples, to disappear from the face of the earth. And that will be progress.'”
Wurmbrand continues: “Neither Marx nor Engels were concerned about the destruction of millions of people. The former wrote, 'A silent, unavoidable revolution is taking place in society, a revolution that cares as little about the human lives it destroys as an earthquake cares about the houses it ravages. Classes and races that are too weak to dominate the new conditions of existence will be defeated.' ...
“Engels wrote in the same vein:
'The next world war will make whole reactionary peoples disappear from the face of the earth. This, too, is progress. Obviously this cannot be fulfilled without crushing some delicate national flower. But without violence and without pitilessness nothing can be obtained in history.'”
In the Revelation, chapter 16; verses 13-14, (which follows directly after the act of the sixth angel pouring out his vial upon the symbolic Euphrates – which according to Sir Isaac Newton, et al – represents the drying up and decaying Ottoman Empire): it speaks of, “three unclean spirits like frogs . . . [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils . . . which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
There is no doubt in my mind, that Marx and his ideology, were a vast mouthpiece for the “unclean” spirit out of the mouth of the “dragon” (“that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...” Revelation 12:9).
William T Still, in his book New World Order: The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies (Huntington House Publishers, 1990), provides us with the following insight into the true nature of the lying spirit here at work:
“Marx was not the only Satanist of his day who professed Communism for political gain. In fact, many of his friends were of like mind. Mikhail Bakunin, the Russian anarchist, admitted the direct connection between Socialist revolutions and Satanism:
'The Evil One is satanic revolt against divine authority, revolt in which we see the fecund germ of all human emancipation, the revolution. Satan [is] the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge.'
“Bakunin, who was also a member of [the] Russian nobility, goes on to explain that the true nature of revolutions is not to free the poor from exploitation, but to 'awaken the Devil in the people, to stir up the basest passions. Our mission is to destroy, not to edify.'”
(From: “Chapter Ten: Karl Marx and the Internationale”, op. cit.)
(As to the nature of the other two 'personages' detailed in the Revelation, out of the mouths of which “unclean spirits like frogs” are emitted to call forth “the kings of the earth and of the whole world . . . to . . . the battle of that great day of God Almighty”; I shall not here, at this point, elude to the historical documentation and prophetic works, that, in my opinion, furnish light on this part of the Revelation – and which, indeed, places it firmly within the historical and Historicist context).
But continuing on from the “great earthquake” (of Rev 16:18) that takes place under the seventh Vial; Revelation chapter 16; verses 19-21, describes its affect thus:
“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell . . . And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.”
The quote below is taken from a book produced in association with the Imperial War Museum, entitled World War II (published by Dorling Kindersley Ltd, 2000). In the chapter entitled “A world divided”, the following appears:
“During the early decades of the 20th century, the world was divided into three main political camps. The first consisted of democratic nations, where people elected their own governments . . . The second – fascist Italy and Spain, Nazi Germany, nationalist Japan, and the one-party states of eastern Europe – were ruled by powerful dictators. The final camp had only one member – the Soviet Union. . . . Conflicts between the three ideologies concerning territory and economic wealth led to the world war that broke out in 1939.”
E B Elliot, in his Horæ Apocalypticæ, wrote the following interpretation concerning the seventh Vial of the Apocalypse:
“The result [of this vial is] a most remarkable revolution [which] is . . . destined to befall the European commonwealth; viz . . . [its] final breaking up . . . into a new and tripartite form . . . after fearful wars and convulsions a tripartition like this shall take place in the European commonwealth, it must be regarded as the proximate sign, and very alarum bell to Christendom, of the judgment, the great judgment being then at length close at hand.”
(Horæ Apocalypticæ: A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Critical and Historical; including also an examination of the chief prophecies of Daniel, Fifth Edition, Vol. IV, Seeley, Jackson, and Halliday, London, 1862).
*Rev Wurmbrand (1909-2001) was imprisoned by the Communist regime in his native Romania between 1948-1956 and 1959-1964. Whilst imprisoned he was tortured for his faith in Christ. In May 1966 (having escaped his homeland with the assistance of a Scandinavian mission to the Jews), he testified before the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Washington, DC, about his terrible experiences under Romania's Communist regime.
