Text: Exodus 5:6-23
The Method
The goal of the spirit of Antichrist is to cause the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be difficult to:
1. Preach
2. Promote
3. Accept
So, it will move on those who can sway public opinion against the truth of the Gospel through:
1. Speeches
2. Media (written, audio, or video)
3. Laws
These, in turn, help sway public opinion and create peer pressure to refuse the Gospel and see it as foolishness.
Example: Pharaoh (Exodus 5:6-23)
Pharaoh makes a law that the Hebrews must provide their own straw for bricks and still meet their quotas. The law wasn't designed to increase production, but rather influence their behavior. He wanted the people to disregard Moses' words.
Remember that one of the earmarks of the spirit of Antichrist is to disguise its real intentions. Laws are passed to control or to silence critics or those who would promote the truth, or to change the environment so that peers would do it for them.
