The Second World War drove true Christianity underground in Poland but then made it more necessary than ever. The clergy were given special attention by Hitler’s National Socialist Party. “Priests will preach what we tell them to preach and if any priest acts differently, we will make short work of him; the task of a priest acts to keep the Poles quiet, stupid and dull-witted,” said an order from Hitler to Hans Frank, his Governor General in Poland, on October 2, 1939. The appearance of the “New Age Socialism” will again eventually demand an underground church that refuses to serve narrow political ends.

Although the above statement may seem outlandish to the typical prosperous, confident, materialistic American Christian who has the inclination to brush aside talk of crisis, the truth is that a large branch of the Body of Christ in the world is being tortured, martyred and worships underground. Christians must understand there is an attack on nationalism and religion which in combination are significant influences that are alive and viable.

God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. Aside from the brazen attack upon the Deity of Jesus Christ, the next platform of attack by Satan is the Family unit.

Eph 5:25-28, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

• 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
• 27 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.
• 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.” KJV
