ENEMIES  OF  THE  KINGDOM  OF  GOD  BY
HIS CHRIST AND THE CHRIST'S BROTHERS.
(Revelation 5:9,10.  Hebrews 12:22-29).

Apostates:  Those who receive knowledge of God, but rebel and swear oaths to Him falsely.  (See Zechariah 5:1-5.  Malachi 3:5.  Daniel 11:30-32.  2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).

Godless men:  Those who refuse to acknowledge Jehovah God, and set up their own empty ideas, planning deceit and wickedness. (2 Esdras 7:21-25 NEB). Sectarian religions and their leaders. All worshippers of demons in support of the spiritistic persecution of God's beloved people.

Admirers, promoters and worshippers of government by the political will of the "wild beast" in opposition to the Will of God. The "wild beast" "puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead". (Rev 13:16,17). All those on earth who worship it (Rev 13:8), do so through the promotion or practice of the following wicked deeds:

Political members of the "wild beast" governing by the will of the people (demoncracy) or by military force (dictatorship). Their subjects worship them by the following deeds  (Rev 13:1-8):

Bankers:  Traders in, and manipulators of, the value of stocks, shares, bonds, currencies and commodities for personal financial gain, but producing nothing of tangible worth for mankind. Effectively "driving others to work" to create profit for them and depriving the poor by the unjust distribution of wealth (capitalism).  (Isaiah 14:4-6).

Insurers:  Profiteers in the personal misfortunes, accidents and deaths of individuals and families.

Moneylenders:  Exploitation of the financial needs of individuals and families through usury, robbing them of financial security and peace through extortionate rates of interest.

Producers: Suppliers of goods or services known to be defective, injurious, or worthless. Employers and staff that prey on human weakness for financial gain.

Charities:  All who lend their aid against judicial decisions of Jehovah.  (Joel 3:11,12)  (Rev 19:20).

Employment agencies: Those who by oppression are "driving others to work", exploiting the economic deprivation of workers for profit, contravening the Law of God.  (Isaiah 14:4.  Mal 3:5).

Polluters:  Those engaged in works that ruin the earth, its people, the air, or the sea.  (Rev 11:18).

Judges:  Those depriving the poor of justice through the execution of unjust laws.  (Isaiah 10:1,2).

Enforcement agencies:  Police and military forces enforcing unjust laws and boundaries.

State educators:  Institutional indoctrination to deprive parents of their God-given prerogative.

Blood-takers:  Administering and promoting blood transfusions.  (Acts 15:28,29.  Lev 17:10-14).

Consuming forbidden foods:  Eating unclean creatures as food.  (Lev 11:1-47.  Isaiah 66:15-17).

Those not practising these wicked deeds may escape the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement described in Isaiah 10:16  23 (NEB). Only by extricating oneself from the demonic works of "fat ones" by accurate knowledge of the Will of God and honest self-appraisal may one escape sectarian and commercial "Babylon" and be prepared for the coming "Way of Holiness".  (Rev 18:1-5.  Isaiah 35:8-10).

"When the Lord has finished all that He means to do on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, He will punish the king of Assyria for this fruit of his pride and for his arrogance and vainglory, because he said: By  my  own might I have acted and in my own wisdom I have laid my schemes; I have removed the frontiers  (boundaries. NWT)  of nations and plundered their treasures, like a bull I have trampled on their inhabitants, my hand has found its way to the wealth of nations, and, as a man takes the eggs from a deserted nest, so have I taken every land; not a wing fluttered, not a beak gaped, no chirp was heard."  (Isaiah 10:12-14 NEB).

"Therefore the true Lord, Jehovah of armies, will keep sending upon his fat ones a wasting disease, and under his glory a burning will keep burning away like the burning of a fire."  (Isaiah 10:16).
