I Purposefully Waited…
While it is very good to long for and expect the coming of the Lord, we cannot stop living and simply wait for Him to return on some appointed day at some appointed time as “revealed” by some believer somewhere. To me, this is very reminiscent of people on YouTube who claim to have been taken to heaven and talked with our Lord. These people go on and express much detail about what they saw and what they heard. In some cases, they claim that the end times is very different from what is in Scripture. In other cases, they tell us that salvation is also different from what the Bible reveals.

Losing the Battle, Winning the War
Reading through the Old Testament and even the New, it is clear that Satan hates those who stand with God against malice, hatred and all manner of sinful corruption that plagues much of humanity. The apostles did not die quietly from old age. Many were brutally murdered. The prophets of old did not retire and draw from their pensions while living in relative ease. They were often treated brutally and even martyred for daring to speak God’s Words to people, words that those people found offensive.
Judah’s Wrong Religion
God reminds the people to go find Shiloh where the Tabernacle stood because Shiloh had been destroyed due to Israel’s evil. The LORD was ready to cast the Judahites out of the land to the north as He had done with Israel. God would send them into captivity by Babylon because of their continued disobedience and flagrant idolatry. God appears to have made up His mind with finality (v16) and tells Jeremiah to not pray for them. In essence, Jeremiah’s prayers would not help at all.

Perilous Times of Evil
Some people enjoy going onto their social media accounts simply to create problems because they can do so often anonymously. They then sit back and watch the fireworks as it gives them a sense of power. In fact, it seems clear only a few years ago that people would say on their social media accounts what they’d never say to another person face-to-face. Now? Seems as though anything goes.
People are divided today by political and ideological lines and the resentment one to the other is often very deep and visceral. Because of social media, some of my friends and I often started butting heads figuratively speaking because of politics and then eventually went our own ways, never to talk again. This seems to have been the goal too.
Jeremiah: God’s Call to Repentance
So once leaders turn their backs on truth, advocating lies, this results in that society exhibiting and experiencing far more wickedness, bitterness and hatred ending in a growing callousness toward one another. Eventually, sin ceases to be called sin. It is embraced as good and that society begins living a Romans 1 life. Even while doing that, it still often sees itself as “innocent” of being evil in spite of the many examples from that society that exist on a daily basis. These become actually willfully indulged in by many to most within that populace. Once the rejection of God’s morality is complete, there is little left except for God to judge that nation.

Tyler Robinson, Alleged Killer of Charlie Kirk
The truth is God is still very much in control of all of our lives. As far as God is concerned, this was not an accident that took God by surprise where Charlie was concerned (or where my dump truck was concerned). He knew it was coming and in essence, He either allowed or designed it to occur. Does this mean that the shooter is somehow less guilty? Not at all, just as Judas and so many others in Scripture were moved or allowed by God to do something heinous but were completely culpable for their actions.

Babylonizing America
One thing this has taught me is that Babylon and its proponents play for keeps. It appears to be coming to a point where Babylon is not going to put up with pesky conservatives/Christians much longer because there is too much for them to lose. Babylon isn’t playing to lose. Of course, the Bible tells us that at one point, during the coming Tribulation, that the system of Babylon will be killed, as it will no longer be needed (Revelation 18). Of course, God is allowing all of this for His purposes and glory regardless of how difficult that is for us to accept. The momentum is building, giving Babylon its growing power. That power will attempt take down anyone who stands in its way.

Home Sweet Babylon
Babylon changed the names of the young men, with their new names pointing deliberately and directly to false gods of the Babylonian system. They also very possibly made them eunuchs to deny them their manhood. Then they gave them the best food and wine and took the time to educate them. Only a few men – Daniel and his three friends – managed to continue holding onto the God of Israel in spite of their forced name changes and other things. They never forgot who they were and kept themselves from being identified with Babylon’s system of degradation.
Beast System Rising
Just a few years ago, it was difficult to gain an accurate picture of how the final global system would come into existence. Now, with the construction of so many data centers, it has become far easier to see just how the beast system is taking shape. I’m quite certain the Antichrist is alive now, waiting for the right moment to rise to the top and take charge. Of course, the ten “kings” need to rise first and I expect once enough data centers have been completed and are up and running, they’ll finally step out of the shadows and take their place as rulers. Once this happens, Antichrist will rise up, take out three of them and gain supremacy. How and why? Because he will be fully empowered by Satan.
What is Hell?
But in hell and eventually the Lake of Fire, which burns into perpetuity, the constantly burning fire will torment, but not purify. The reason it cannot purify the souls housed there is due to the fact that those individuals will continue sinning in eternity. The unrighteous person does not stop sinning once this physical life is over. They will continue sinning even after they arrive to eternity. The fires of the Lake of Fire/hell, will never be able to refine or purify those sinners there because of their continued sinning throughout all eternity.
