The world system, a 'fallen' system, 'Phishes' in order to steal. That is why 'Modern Identity Theft', one of 3 types of Identity Theft that I talk about in my new book 'Phishers of Men', uses the term 'Phishing' to help convey to society that people are out there who are trying to steal from you, and not just in the economic sense, but stealing your very character.... usually starting at a early age. So, while that system 'phishes', those that are followers of Christ must also 'fish' as Christ invited us to. So the challenge to His followers is: To counter the evil in the world, are we as Christians becoming 'fishers of men' (as Christ has invited us to be)?
We keep in mind that the Bible says: 'In which times ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfulling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2: 2-3. That same 'power of the air' that Paul refers to, phishes for victims in the fallen world system. Rooted in a fallen state, the enemy prowls like a lion (Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour... I Peter 5:8) by way of the 3 Types Identity Theft, phishing for victims.
The world system is the opposite of what God intended. This 'phishing' is part of an overall 'Anti-Christ' spirit. Christ's 'fishing' is about something far above the world system, it is about the salvation of mankind. Watch for my book 'Phishers of Men' due out this summer to learn about the '3 Types of Identity Theft' that are destroying mankind.
