Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 5

Listen to this article

If you read my last article in this series [1], I explained why I do not believe Seal 1 represents the Antichrist, but instead lays the groundwork to ultimately bring him to be the world’s dictator. I believe Seal 1 is the obfuscation of truth. I spent some time explaining why I believe this to be the case and to me, it makes sense and I also believe squares with the meaning and intent of God’s Word.

Having said all that I said last time, I ended with promising to return and explain what our approach to all of this should be. So I want to spend the rest of this article laying out some things that we Christians can and should live.

First, it’s important to do as many normal things as possible, the things we’ve always done. They’d prefer us to live in fear always looking for the other shoe to drop.

If you’ve always taken a vacation each year, try to continue that practice. Even if money is tighter this year than last, try to get away with the family and enjoy being together. Vacations help us unwind, relax and appreciate God’s Creation. Don’t let them deprive you of that.

The people in power do not want us relaxed and happy. They want to steal our normalcy to make us fearful and on edge so they can swoop in with the “solution,” which includes owning nothing and being happy.

Be deliberate about moving back towards normal things in life. It’s your best weapon.

Second, deliberately choose to eat better. Highly processed foods are terrible for us. Processed foods have a very long shelf-life, but they have that due to tremendous amounts of preservatives and chemicals in them that tend not to be good for us. Those preservatives, ingredients and chemicals simply chip away at our health and immune systems. Over time, we end up visiting the doctor more, being prescribed more medications and the end result of that is a tragic cycle of poor health that continues to worsen. I’m not saying all pharmaceuticals are bad. I’m simply saying the fewer a person needs, the better off they are in life. Eating well goes a long way toward good health. When you buy quality/organic food it costs more but you actually eat less if it.

Third, get away from the TV, your phone and other electronic devices. They want us so involved in the “worlds” these devices have within them, that we completely miss the reality of life altogether.

If people will just do the normal things they’ve always done and put their phones down, the normalcy of life would return.

Yesterday, my wife and I took our two dogs and went to a local hiking place. We were impressed to see so many people out and at the beach near the river, enjoying life and interacting. We found a place separate from the crowd and just hiked through the woods, down to the water and let our dogs go in and enjoy themselves. We got a bit of a workout as well and we are glad we took the time. Life is busy it seems and there is always something to do around the old “homestead,” but time must be taken to infuse the routine of life with exceptions to the rule. This recharges our batteries and renews our spirits.

Fourth, make sure you are reading His Word every day and this could easily be the first thing you need to do. Take passages of Scripture to heart. Memorize and dwell on them. It broadens our understanding of God, how much He loves us and how He cares and provides for us. This should easily be the first thing we do daily. We are in a battle whether we like to think so or not. We cannot see into the spiritual realm, but the Bible reveals a few things about that realm to us and we gain insight from places like Job to show us that the beings in the spiritual realm are either on God’s side or on Satan’s. Those on Satan’s side stand against us, while those on God’s side protect us. I imagine if we actually knew the details of what occurs in the spiritual realm, we would feel like we couldn’t move to the right or left. It should be enough to know that without God’s protection, Satan could do whatever he wanted to us. God does not allow that and works to protect us, only allowing Satan’s devices to get through at times when God wants to use those things for our growth and His glory.

Fifth, use cash and use it often! Do not give into the push to use CBDCs, digital passports, or anything else that will ultimately remove your freedoms and create limitations for you. Continue using your vehicles. Buy real food, not fake meat. Eat and thank God for the many blessings He provides. Reject 15-Minute Cities. Stop staying home and stop being afraid. We’re all going to die at some point and fear will get you there much quicker. Live your life with gusto!

Do everything you can to stay out of hospitals. I continue to read horror stories daily about people who went to the hospital and leave in a body bag or were sent home because they couldn’t find anything wrong only to die later.

The bottom line is this. We are being lied to every day by people in authority. The media covers for those lies because it has become their job to support the narrative, even if that narrative is false. To avoid succumbing to the lies, we need to do all the things listed above, which means learning to resist. It may take deliberate thought and action at times and you can’t do that if your head is in the “cloud” via your phone.

The lies will continue as the false foundation for the coming Antichrist’s global kingdom grows and firmly seats itself in many nations throughout the world. We can do nothing about all those lies except reject them out of hand. I doubt seriously the USA will survive intact.

We will increasingly come across more and more people who believe the lies that are being foisted upon global society. These lies will continue to affect the way people think and act and it will worsen. We can do nothing about that. We can try to convince, but don’t be fooled into thinking that you’ll make a difference with most people. It is far better to find like-minded folks and develop relationships with them, creating small significant communities of reliant people. There is likely coming a time when you will need those relationships and they will need you.

Cheer up! This is all coming together because God has decreed it. This is not the first time evil people have tried to gain full control of society, but it appears now is the time that God is allowing it to occur in totality.

As far back as the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, Anthony Fauci then tried to do the very same thing he wasn’t able to do then, but fully succeeded in doing during the recent COVID. During AIDS, he wanted everyone who had or even thought they might have AIDS tested using the exact same PCR tests used during COVID now. The creator of the PCR test stated then it was not designed for that purpose. Interestingly enough, that creator died under mysterious circumstances.

People who allegedly tested positive for AIDS were put on AZT instead of a more well known drug that probably would’ve saved people, instead of killing them. Did they really have AIDS or did AZT create what we were told was AIDS?[2]

During AIDS, people were told one lie after another. However, because technology (including the Internet), was not where it is today, the lies didn’t necessarily catch on and travel around the world, devastating global society. Segue forty years into the future to 2019 and those same lies (and PCR tests), were used to justify lock downs, mask mandates and vaccine mandates. Because of the Internet and the media, as well as the fact that there are now so many Marxists in powerful positions, society was essentially locked down and forced to do the bidding of egomaniacs who are – possibly unbeknownst to themselves – being used by Satan and his minions to create the foundation of lies upon which Antichrist’s empire will be built.

I doubt seriously that we Christians can change what’s coming, but we can change our outlook. We can change how we view things and what our response should be to the growing problems. However, at the same time, it is important to understand that choosing God has not only its rewards but a human downside. Just as Daniel faced the lions and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego faced the fiery furnace, we will also face increasing difficulties and “persecution” in this day and age, as things progress toward the coming Tribulation and wrath of the Lamb.

We spoke of the possibility that Seals 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been opening. Since my last article I sent it to two pastors whom I greatly respect for their opinions. One wrote back that he could “not disagree with me.” The other outright agreed with my supposition and encouraged me to continue studying because he thinks I’m on the right track.

If we consider that we ARE in the “last days” since the life of Jesus, it makes sense that these first four seals at least could have started opening already. Hebrews 1:1-2 spells it out for us, if we’ll pay attention.

1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds…

So during Jesus’ life, the last days began. It’s now roughly 2,000 years later, so we are obviously much further along and, in my opinion, at the very end of the last days or end times, just prior to the start of the Tribulation. It is also interesting to me that the power elite wants a final global order in place by 2030. Why then? Not sure, however, Rev. Danny Jones, in one of his last sermons at Northlake Baptist Church prior to retiring, noted some potential mathematical connections. [3]

Daymond Duck also has things to note about the coming date of 2030. [4] He talks about the covenant that 193 nations entered into in 2016 – an agreement to have the global world government up and running by 2030. Recently, as he notes, the UN Secretary General wants the nations to move things along quicker because they’re not where the UN wants us to be. So, even though there’s less than 7 years now before 2030 arrives (6 and a half years), the UN wants those nations to agree to get things done within seven years. Read the linked article for more information.

Bottom line for me is that Christians today will very likely feel the uptick of “persecution.” Here in the USA, that means as we stand against LGBTQ+ we will be demonized for it. As we resist the wave of Marxism in all its tenets (i.e. Critical Race Theory), as it tries sweeping across our communities, we will experience the wrath of the Left increasingly. We can somewhat guard against that if we are further away from the larger cities, but it will still likely find us where we live. We will also likely have to deal with more health “pandemics” with officials issuing more health mandates to gain more control of society. You need to decide now how you will react to those mandates.

Beyond this, artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to take over. We just found out yesterday that a friend’s husband was called into the office (he works from home as many do today), and summarily fired, then escorted out of the building. He was told his job is being replaced with AI and the company no longer needs his services. It’s here and happening.

But God is for us, so really, who can be against us? God will provide. We need to take hold of that, believe it and trust Him for His direction. Again, one of my favorite verses when I find myself troubled by my thoughts or events in life is Isaiah 41:10.

Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The difficulties in life are designed by God to draw us close to Him so that we will gain the victory. It’s okay to see what’s there and coming. It’s not okay to dwell on it, worry over it, or be overcome by it. That’s not the purpose God has in allowing it. He wants us to throw ourselves on His mercy, to gain insight from Him, This turns into direction and increases our ability to trust Him when circumstances seem overwhelming.

Direct your life so that what Satan attempts to destroy you with, simply makes you stronger in your faith in God.
