SPIRITUAL WARFARE: THE PRINCE OF THE AIR AND HIS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Spiritual Warfare:   The Prince of the Air   and his   Weapons of Mass Destruction

 

In Ephesians, the Apostle Paul gives us a new title for Satan. Paul refers to him as, “The Prince of the Power of the Air.” (Ephesians 2:2) This isn’t to say that Satan has dominion over the air (as that belongs to God) but I do believe it means that Satan has free reign to utilize “air” as a battlefield to wage war against us using his soldiers, “unclean spirits” and demons.             Later in Ephesians Paul writes:            In addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.          Ephesians 6:16

 

Now I don’t know how many of you have ever pulled the string back on a bow and loosed an arrow but you probably know that the arrow cuts through the air like a missile looking for a target when it happens.             Now that we have established Satan’s battlefield is the “air” and his soldiers are the ones shooting the arrows, lets dig deeper and find out where these battlefields are located and refresh our memories on the identity of Satan’s soldiers.            The last time we visited we established clearly who does the work of the devil here on earth. The accursed people, Esau-Edom (the Jews) are the workers of evil and are hell bent to steal, kill and destroy God’s people.    Jesus plainly states His position on the Jews when he said:            You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.                                                            John 8: 44            It’s not hard to imagine these accursed people firing flaming arrows dipped in lies, deceit and filth but just how do the arrows fly through the “air” towards the intended target?

 

PRINT MEDIA            The advent of the printing press and movable type revolutionized the world. The ready availability of printed material to the masses meant for the first time in history a need for our people to be literate. What a blessing to be able to read God’s Word for ourselves and not be dependent on controlled clergy. The enemy knew the threat this posed for their order and very quickly went to work to co-opt and control this new technology.             There is not a greater example of control than that of the influence and ownership of early American newspapers. The golden era of American newsprint started in the middle part of the 19thcentury. Most major cities had more than one newspaper with some having 3 or more competing for readership.             In most cases there were morning editions and evening editions distributed throughout the land. Not to mention the invention of the print magazines and tabloids that were so prevalent in the time. Very quickly the accursed people learned to control this new media. The reporters, writers, printers and owners all worked in tandem to control information to change the hearts and minds of the reader. What a mighty weapon indeed.             At this point you may be thinking that there couldn’t have been that many Edomites at the helm of the print media.             The following is a snapshot of those involved and not meant to be an exhaustive list:

One last thought on print media and how it relates to a weapon utilized by the soldiers of the Prince of the Power of the Air. Ink will smear, run and being ruined if not allowed to dry…. only after contact with the air does it become powerful.     RADIO AND MUSIC            As the 19thcentury ended in America, a new and exciting technology was waiting to usher in the new century. Nothing more shaped and defined the early part of the 20thcentury than the expansion of commercial radio.            Newswire services like the British Broadcasting Corporation quickly moved to break the monopoly held by the newspaper owners by offering news broadcasts over the air. In what seemed liked magic, powerful  voices filled American homes with news, information and entertainment from around the world. Once again, the enemy realized the amazing power of this new medium. Radio broadcasts could indeed be used as a weapon…a weapon of mass destruction.            To this point in America, mostly affluent families were able to educate their children, Whereas the lower classes were semi-literate, especially in rural areas outside of major population centers. Now there was a way for the soldiers of Satan to reach their prey without the need to be able to read or write. All that was needed were ears that could hear. No matter age, color, ethnicity or education level, everyone became a target of control.             Consequently, this opened the gate of the modern public-school system. No longer was reading, writing and arithmetic the order of the day. Rather, indoctrination, integration and social experimentation became the mission. Are you starting to see now the weapon of mass destruction?            The damaging influence of radio onto America culture of the time is hard to measure. There is no doubt that the seeds of Communism, race-mixing, and the lie of a multi-cultural melting pot were sown and took root during this time. Those seeds were certainly cultivated by the constant fertilizer which was spread daily to the fertile minds tuning into the next radio broadcast.            The damage done to our people through radio could fill up a book. However, for the purpose of this article I would like to focus on music. Specifically, the music I experienced firsthand in my generation, rap music: How it was used as a weapon and who fired the fiery arrow.    There is no doubt the music industry has been dominated by Edomites for some time. Don’t believe me? The following music companies were all founded by Jews.

 

See if you recognize any of them.   · Atlantic Records   · Mercury Records   · MCA   · Dunhill Records   · Folkways Records   · RCA Records   · Chess Records   · Warner Music Group   · Imperial Records   · Arista Records   · Geffen Records

 

This list doesn’t include the dozens of recording labels, production companies and management companies headed by Edomites. Now if we know these are the accursed people and they will be forever at war with God’s people; isn’t it likely they would utilize the power of music to attack and weaken us?            Two recording companies in particular were incredibly successful in doing this,Def-Jam Records, which was founded by Rick Rubin, andRuthless Records, which was founded by Jerry Heller (both Jews who were doing the work of their father).            Def Jam Recordsis credited with starting the “Hardcore Hip-Hop” genre of rap music which came from the east-coast, whereas Jerry Heller was the father of “Gangsta-Rap” which originated in California. Both of these companies produced material that glorified in great detail rape, drug dealing, violence, hatred of whites, and generally any other immoral act you can imagine.            At this point you may be saying, “Who cares if these Jews were targeting inner city black culture with this filth?” Would you be surprised if I told you the targeted audience was not inner-city blacks but suburban white youths?   You see, the Baby Boom generation was brought up during the golden age of radio and were the first generation to be indoctrinated via the airways and public-school system. The fruit of the seeds which were sowed during that time was a generation of tolerance of immorality, an acceptance of all cultures and a fear of being labeled the dreaded “R” word…racist.             The children of the baby boomers did not know their culture. They were looking for fulfillment and the enemy was all too ready to use the airwaves to feed them filth. The results have led to a generation of cultural confusion, violent video games, school shootings, mall shootings, the trans-gender non-sense, etc.             Pay attention when you are out and about. Look at the young white men driving around in pickup trucks with the windows down. Listen to the music they are blasting. I bet the music doesn’t sound like the driver looks.            Our people were looking for answers. They were looking for a culture. They were looking for history and heritage. They were looking for an identity…. and the enemy was ready and waiting to provide one for them.            Next time we will take a look at enemy’s stronghold and headquarters, Hollywood.
