Beginnings of Sorrows?
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring for my life, much less two months from now. But God knows. Not only that, His timing and will take precedence over everything. So my job is to be in tune with God as much as I can possibly be while living in a world that absolutely hates Him and all who follow Him. What I find fascinating is that I rarely think of the Rapture at all. It’s simply not something that’s in my front vision. What I do see are all the problems, corruption and evil in this world and know that God will sort it all out. In the meantime, I expect things to get worse and if I did not know better, it’s almost seems as though the Tribulation has begun, based on what I’ve said about the first four seals of Revelation 6. Though we could simply be in the “beginnings of sorrows” phase.
White Horse and Rider?
Revelation 6:1 introduces a rider on a white horse. What’s he all about? He clearly conquers politically because he has no weapons; a bow with no arrows. But what type of political conquering is he doing and what is his purpose? It seems as though he is first among various riders to gain more control over the world’s populace. Has that been happening?
Ready to Go Gluten Free?
I believe this is why Jesus specifically points out the coming famine (#5 above). When CV (pestilence), was first revealed and economies went into lock-down (the first time in history in all my 65 years of living), the supply chain immediately began to take a hit. Most didn’t realize it at the time because things were still available in those “essential” stores that were allowed to stay open. Then we began to hear about the shipping container situation and how things were stalled in China’s ports as well as ports on both the east and west sides of the USA. Many ports were shut down due to CV, so nothing moved.
Are Globalists Winning?
Globalists may appear to be winning, but their end will come when our Lord returns physically to this planet to judge the nations and establish His Millennial Kingdom. Our job is to watch, work and pray while we wait for that glorious event.
Revelation 7: Interlude
Revelation 7 is the slight pause before the Seventh Seal opens (Revelation 8). During this time, God seals 144,000 Jewish evangelists and multitudes are saved, who either die naturally or are martyred for their faith in Jesus.
Hopeful or Hopeless?
So, while on one hand, it is fairly easy to become discouraged and feel somewhat hopeless about what is happening in the world, it is very clear that God is still moving, working in hearts and calling people to Him for eternal salvation. Evil cannot override God’s will. This is really what it’s all about. It’s not about politics and by focusing too much on that area, nothing will rob you of the hope that you have in Christ faster. His ways are not our ways. His timing is all His own. He is either sovereign all the time or He is not sovereign at all.
Most Important Thing You Can Do
The goal of each Christian is to grow in our love for God. I believe as we grow in love for God we gain a strong desire to not do those things which will offend Him, thus we will be living in a way that causes us to fear (offending) the Lord. In essence then, loving God and having a fear of offending Him are really two sides of the same coin. They work hand in hand, in my opinion.
Loving God and the resultant fear of offending Him can only happen when we make the effort. It is effort in this life because of our inherent sin nature that always wants us to move away from God. We must instead use our effort and faculties to move toward God.
Narrow Your Prayer Focus
I’m suggesting we change focus so that the focus is more on things closer to home; family, friends, church people and those around you that you know are unsaved. It is far easier for me to believe that God hears those prayers and will respond favorably, as opposed to prayers to change the course of this world. His Word teaches us that this is not going to happen until everything has played out according to the perfection of His will.
Spirit of Antichrist Rising
The digitization of global society via 5G Internet/WiFi network is a major step in putting things in place that will ultimately allow the coming man of sin to not only gain control of this entire world, but will effectively be able to mold the way people think in real time.
Perspective: Because He…
So where do we go from here? What does the Christian do to overcome the negativity, the bad news, the effects of Satan being allowed to control more and more of global society? There is only one thing I am aware of and I will admit I’m not great at putting it into practice…yet, but I am working on getting there.
