They contend that this has been accomplished by all the wars fought on the earth, down through the years that were religiously inspired by false religions of our time. This explanation is false and cannot be proven. In the first century, all of the prophets and holy ones were killed, not by pagans, but by the very ones who carried God’s Name upon themselves, Israel, and their spiritual leaders. (Jeremiah 25:29; Matthew 23:34-37) Certainly, this was not “false religion” in action, but was what represented the “true religion.”
