What Should Our Response Be?
The other thing we should not do is see those Muslims (and others who come to this country illegally), as enemies. We were all enemies to God as far as He was concerned at one time. Yet, because of faith in Him, we have moved from the being an enemy to being a beloved member of God’s family. This puts us in the new category of “no longer condemned” (Romans 8). Along with that, we have the obligation to love those who hate us, to share the good news of Jesus whether they listen or not and to go out of our way to bring glory to Him in all we do, say and think. It’s the process of sanctification that must occur within us.
Now is the time to learn the facts concerning Islam. Now is also the time to know why you believe and can rationally express your views and understanding of Scripture as well as the truth found only in Jesus. Muhammad doesn’t have it. Krishna doesn’t have it. The truth is only found in Jesus and we believers need to always be ready to give an answer as to the hope we have in Jesus.
Disclosure Day
When Emily Blunt’s character (Margaret Fairchild), is taken over by an alien entity, she is just starting her weather segment. All of a sudden, she falters, looks helpless, then starts clicking and making vibrations in her throat while staring somewhat blankly into the camera that’s recording her meteorology segment. In real life, producers would have immediately switched to something else (kind of like when an athlete tends to give too much glory to Jesus), but the focus remains on Blunt.
Is This Normal?
I can easily see now why the Antichrist will be so well accepted throughout the world when he finally does appear on the world’s stage. Everything that has happened up to now has been a dress rehearsal for what’s coming. But I would caution readers about becoming fearful. Thought I believe the Rapture will occur prior to the start of the Tribulation and the appearance of the rider on the white horse (Revelation 6), however even if the Rapture does not occur prior to the start of that seven year period, I firmly believe God will take care of all who exercise trust in Him during those difficult days ahead. We do not need to be fearful about what is here now or what is coming. When we give into fear, we are failing to trust Him, aren’t we? It’s as simple as that. Which do you choose, trust or fear?
We Are Not in Control
We have two choices in life. One, we can continue to try to do things our way, mistakenly believing that we control our own destiny and the things that happen in life. Two, we can come to the true realization that we are not in control at all and that everything that happens to us happens because of God’s plan. If we try to live the first option, we can quickly grow conceited in the belief that we have it going on; that our decisions are what matters and above all things, we walk in a path that we have developed for ourselves. If we live with option number two, we will more quickly come to the end of ourselves, realizing that the very breath we breathe is on loan from God Himself.
Making Life Difficult for Us
…whatever is happening throughout global society now is simply foundational for the coming final mandate that forces people to take the mark. Age verification, if it comes to the USA will make things difficult for those who don’t comply, just like the mandates during CV created severe limitations for those who did not take the jab. However, like the difficulties during CV, anything mandated or instituted for our “safety” ultimately means making life more difficult, not easier. It means seceding control to authoritarian bodies.
Nefarious, Speak of the Devil
It is also amazing the way the demon Nefarious questions James, the psychologist. James is an atheist and proudly proclaims that to Nefarious, who laughs in his face asking if he (James) really believes his atheism will protect him from the truth and that hell is filled with atheists who now understand the reality of what they continually denied while alive.
The dialogue in Nefarious is first rate and carries viewers from one scene to the next. At one point, Dr. James Martin brags about how well he thinks humanity is doing: racism is being fought against, humanity is freer than ever, hate speech is a thing of the past, etc. Nefarious again laughs and sets Martin right about what he clearly cannot see because of his political delusions. Nefarious also states regarding hate speech that this was something “they” didn’t even have to create for humanity. Humanity did it all by themselves and that surprised even the demons. He further states that evil has become the norm and no one even notices it anymore.
8 Weeks to Empty Shelves?
Regarding the lack of oil into this country, he notes, “We are no longer in a price crisis. We are entering a physical shortage. A point where fuel stops being available at any price because there is none left to sell.” Of course, if he is correct and nothing changes to correct this problem, then we will see shortages and continued price hikes. He warns we are fast approaching a time that oil industry people refer to as “tank bottom,” which ostensibly means that it isn’t just low oil reserves. What it means is that the remaining oil in tanks cannot be retrieved because there is not enough pressure inside the tank to retrieve the oil. He says that the USA will experience this around July 4th.
Death of Society
The biggest problem with social media is what it has become, not what it started out as. Everyone is so brave when they are talking into their phones or computers and it is impossible to know who would be likely to carry through with their threats. In a recent situation, Cole Tomas Allen brought guns and knives to the recent White House correspondent’s dinner in an attempt to assassinate President Trump.
Demons as Aliens?
But what is interesting today as it was way back during Noah’s day is that the average human being did not see these beings who were offering to “help” them as demons. They saw them as demigods, which I believe is where we get the Greek gods like Zeus and others, who allegedly came from Mt. Olympus, which may translate to a mountain in the Middle East where Nephilim originally came down to earth.
What’s a Christian to Do?
Regardless of what you might believe about a Christian and self-defense, I still insist that being aware of your surroundings is the first and best alternative to being oblivious to what is going on around you. I contend that if a person is fully aware of what is going on around them, the chances of them being the victim are slimmer. Too many people walk through life clueless. They are lost in thought, lost on their phones or simply unaware of what might be transpiring around them. People who are aware do not often become victims. If you do not believe Christians have the right to defend themselves, then at least be willing to be thoroughly focused on what is going on around you. This alone is likely to make you much less of a victim.
