The Mystery of the Two Churches: The Church that Jesus Built and the Church that Satan Built
()
About this ebook
The battle for the soul of the earth was reignited when the second Adam (Christ), returned to take back the mandate Satan stole from Adam in the Garden of Eden. Christ sealed the final victory with His resurrection, to Satan’s embarrassment and shame.
However, Satan is not giving up. As the end of the age closes in, He has returned for the final battle against Christ. His target, just as with Adam in the Garden, is the Bride of Christ. While Adam was away, He deceived and corrupted Eve. While Christ is away to prepare a place for His Bride, Satan is using the same strategy of deception to corrupt the bride of Christ, so that when Christ returns to take her home, He would not meet the pure virgin He died for. He would only meet a corrupt bride, unfit to take to heaven to present to the Father for the final victory.
To achieve his plan, Satan has created a substitute bride and parading it as the true bride of Christ. He has deceived the world with this bride, including many saints. Jesus says if it were possible even the very elect will be deceived. This counterfeit bride is in plain sight yet unrecognized. It is the Church the world calls the church of Jesus but it is the church that Satan built. It is real, subtle, and viral. There is one in every corner.

About The Author
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
- Rev 17:5
Preface
I was working on the book, Companion Booklet to the Normal Christian Cycle when the revelation of this book kind of popped up
in my heart. The flow was like a tidal wave and the tone sounded so urgent that I temporarily abandoned the other book to give this the attention I felt the Lord wanted it to have.
I tried to downplay the title, particularly the sub-title because I considered the tone a bit strong, but I was further convinced it is from the Lord when I shared the revelation with a friend and he brought out his writing pad with the same sub-title - verbatim! Since the message is a direct revelation from the Lord, the book was completed in just a few days. The weeks following was just to prepare it for final publishing.
I felt the Lord gave this message because, in recent times, I have been concerned at the stage of the last day Church (just like Lot was in Sodom). I have been burdened that the Church is failing and derailing; and also that the voices of the whistle-blowers,
the prophets are fading away, materialism is overruning the Church, and so Jesus may not meet the chaste Bride He died for. If you are also in this category, I believe the Lord’s message in this book will encourage and comfort you just as it did for me.
Many thanks to brother Dennis Kekemeke and my son, Richard for doing such a wonderful editorial work on this book in such a short window of time.
Have a blessed time reading.
Introduction
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph 6:12
THE PASSAGE ABOVE describes the primordial and on-going battle between the kingdom of God and that of Satan. Although in effect, Satan is a created being and cannot fight with God as it were (Rom 9:20-21), but as in all situations, God is being glorified in the wonders of His own works, according to His good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself,
that in all things he might have the preeminence,
and that He may be all in all
(Col 1:18, 1Cor 15:28).
In this struggle, however, victory is already determined before the world began, and so for those in the Kingdom of God, the fight is from victory and not for victory.
Every great king and ruler desire to have a prince to perpetuate his glory and kingdom. Same with God: He desires that His Son would rule and perpetuate the reign, glory, and majesty of His kingdom on earth just as He does in heaven. So, He created Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden to carry out this assignment.
But before this, Satan had been sent out of heaven to the earth along with a third of the angels after he led the rebellion against God with his five I wills
(Isa 14:12-14, Luk 10:18). Since then, he colonized the earth and appropriated it as his own. He became the prince of this world
(Joh 12:31, 14:30), the prince of the power of the air
(Eph 2:2) - Beelzebub, "the
