SER 16 – Dr. Mike Lake – The Shinar Directive

Posted on October 30, 2015 by ccpastormike

In the ancient plains of Shinar, an evil was born: the first world king, the prototype transhuman, the ultimate despot, the Son of Perdition – Nimrod. In Babylon, the Son of Perdition devised the Shinar Directive: the enslaving of humanity and the war against the God of Heaven. God’s intervention at the Tower of Babel only delayed Nimrod’s hellish plans.

As the powers of mystery Babylon gather to create the new Tower of Babel and to prepare for the Son of perdition’s return, Heaven is issuing a clarion call to the remnant: Know the strategies of the enemy, untangle yourselves from them, and become the victorious church.

It is time for the church of the living God to wake up and prepare for the coming battle. Episode 16 of SER is my interview with Dr. Michael Lake. Listen to it here.

Dr. Michael Lake, is the Chancellor and Founder of Biblical Life College and Seminary, the Host of Biblical Life TV and the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Podcast. He is the author of the best-selling book, The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition, and a contributing author for the best-seller, Blood on the Altar: The Coming Christian vs. Christian War.
