In his book entitled Introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right vol. 3 Karl Marx is quoted as delivering that most popular sentence, "Religion is the opium of the people". According to his Bio in the Free Encyclopedia, Marx was a philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. He was born in Prussia to a middle-class family; he later studied political economy and Hegelian philosophy. The Free Encyclopedia continues to describe the philosophical position of Marx, describing his theories about society, economics and politics, collectively understood as Marxism as projecting the idea that human societies develop through class struggle: a conflict between ruling classes known as the bourgeoisie, that control the means of production and working classes, known as the proletariat that submit to the bourgeoisie, by selling their labor for wages.
Marx assault upon religion categorized it as an unreal means of escape for those who were suffering at the hands of the masters. He stated emphatically that this thing called religion was simply another element of control, which provided the necessary restrains against rebellion of the masses. Vladimir Lenin fully agreed with Marx’s position when he said:
"A Marxist must be a materialist, i. e., an enemy of religion, but a dialectical materialist, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the class struggle which is going on in practice and is educating the masses more and better than anything else could.” Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich. The Attitude of the Workers' Party to Religion, 1909
Conservapedia, the Trustworthy Encyclopedia describes the rise to power of Atheistic Communism in Russia.
“The Great War (World War1) had weakened Tsar Nicholas II, and he abdicated the throne in March 1917. Russia was left under the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky, which intended to continue fighting in the war, but in November 1917, the Bolshevik Communist Party, led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, overthrew the provisional government and executed the Czar's family. Lenin made peace with Germany and then withdrew Russia from the war. In March 1918, Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which granted Germany many territories, including what is now Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Estonia, and Latvia. This was a humiliating defeat, but Russia was simply too weak to fight anymore.” Conservapedia, the Trustworthy Encyclopedia
It is from this movement into Atheistic Communism, that Fatima gave the vision that Russia will be converted back to Christianity. This is truly where we are today. We see as revealed in our past Editorials, that Russia is already the protector of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Our Editorial dated July 29, 2016, entitled “Religious Laws Passed” make this clear. There have always been those who have asked, how will Revelation 13 verse 12 which states that America will cause the entire world to worship the beast, ever come to be?
Revelation13:12 - And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
After all, many say, how do you get the Russians and the Chinese to accept the dictum? Based upon what we are seeing, God knows what he is talking about. Wasn’t that hard for the Russians, was it? It will be easier than you think. The rest is soon to come.
