The DRAGON and the WORLD

The long history of Christianity is, to a large degree, a dark and bloody account of coercion, violence and persecution. That began early by the religious zealot Saul, who became the apostle Paul. But later, as antisemitism grew, the state supported church became the persecutor. The unseen force that directed leaders into sentencing people to death as heretics and rejecting teaching that they labelled Jewish turned the church into something very different from the way it started. The god of the age is very real and is still with us. He is God's enemy and is an accuser and a slanderer. His influence will end soon.
