Gospel of Nuancing
Such is the life of the “nuancer.” Their job is to create doubt and to ultimately redirect away from God and the truth of His Word. They are the worst of deceivers because they are so nuanced in their speech/writings. Their words leave just enough room to make a person think they are hitting the mark biblically, but in the end, miss it altogether.
They Ignore It All
So, the plan is to push a narrative and do the things that bring that narrative to fruition. While doing that, they willfully ignore any information that rises to the surface that calls their narrative into question and will vilify anyone who sees behind the curtain and wants to bring that out into the open.
Predictive Prophecy
We cannot possibly know all aspects of the End Times events and timing and I’m beginning to wonder if much of that pursuit is a fruitless use of energy. God’s primary purpose in telling us ahead of time is not to cause us to focus all of our energies into trying to figure out everything but to shout hallelujahs to Him when those things occur because their fulfillment proves once again that He and He alone is God!
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 4
What if the first horse and rider represent something else, other than the Antichrist? What if without this particular horse and rider, the other seals (2, 3, and 4), could not really occur? Everything then is based on what the first horse and rider will be and do. By the way, I will state this up front as well. I fully believe the first four seals all clearly pave the way for the man of sin/son of perdition/Antichrist to rise to the top of the heap. If not for the opening of the first four seals (Seal 1 especially), I don’t believe Antichrist would have an opening. The first four seals lay the groundwork, building on the previous seal, making his appearance a reality. Each seal does something to global society that pushes the world toward the point where Antichrist can and will make his appearance.
IRS Whistleblowers Outline Corruption
The writers of the Psalms arrived to the conclusion that one day, when God saw fit, He would right wrongs, punish evil and reward those who spent their lives serving Him in faith, seeking to bring glory to Him. It is sometimes difficult for me to appreciate that (as it may be for you), because we live in the here and now and are often deeply affected by the decisions made by evil people in this realm who want things done their way regardless of who or how many are harmed because of those decisions.
Revelation 18 Part 2
In this section, Babylon is destroyed and the kings of the earth (likely politicians, since the 7 remaining kings along with Antichrist turn on the “whore” of Babylon and destroy her). So the important people who gained fortunes from their involvement with Babylon “weep and mourn” over the loss. They are in anguish over the fact that their ability to enrich themselves is gone. That’s what they are grieved about. They bemoan the death of Babylon – such a “great” and “mighty city” that is now gone, in a heap of destruction.
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 1
My point is that it will take some time for Antichrist to gain traction and conquer enough people and even national heads through political intrigue (as Antiochus Epiphanes IV was able to do), before he will have enough power to confirm any covenant that will wind up being put in place between “the many” (Jewish people or Israel’s leaders), and Arabs who hate Jews. This won’t happen overnight. It will take time.
Mysticism’s Trojan Horse
The unbiblical part of what Nouwen said is that they can come “whether they know about Jesus or not,” which is 100% incorrect. Ultimately, Nouwen’s false statement is based entirely in New Age tenets tenets. This has been part and parcel of the New Age since its inception and goes back to the mystery religion of Babel (Genesis 11). Jesus said very clearly, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me the Son,” (John 14:6). The New Age argues that’s not what Jesus meant. They say we need to dig much deeper to uncover the actual meaning. No, Jesus spoke plainly and people wanted Him dead because of His claims. They did not misunderstand Him.
When?
Strangely, I’m at peace over this and it probably has to do with the fact that things have progressed too far along to go back. We cannot overturn what God has said will occur and is going to allow. While we might not like it, we cannot overthrow it and why should we want to if God has determined it? It reminds me of the time Babylon’s Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah/Jerusalem and took captives back to his Babylonian Kingdom (2 Kings 25). If you’ll recall, through mainly Jeremiah at the time, God specifically told those in Judah that they should not resist and should simply go to Babylon into captivity. They should also seek peace in Babylon during their captivity so that they would have peaceful lives while there. God promised to release them from that captivity after 70 years, which meant a new generation would go back to Judah. Interestingly enough, there were false prophets in Judah who said God would provide the victory over Nebuchadnezzar in a short time, not 70 years. There are many false prophets today who tell us good things about what’s coming (including a major revival). Ignore them. God will deal with them.
Pushing Ahead with Resolve
Most people don’t like to even sneak a peak too long at negative offerings. They prefer to push that aside and focus instead on those things they see as good and uplifting. The trouble is that we must, at times, delve into the negative or the “doom and gloom” because it is there that our direction lies most of the time. Simply ignoring what may well be the inevitable does nothing except allow people to pretend all is well. Then when things actually do go south, They won’t have a proper response to it because they’re completely unprepared.
Too many choose to ignore all the signs that point to the coming reality. This applies to many Christians, largely due to the fact that they are woefully unaware of the prophetic portions of Scripture that specifically deal with the character and nature of the last days prior to the return of Jesus. Most pastors won’t touch the subject either.
