Giving Wokeness the Boot!
In my opinion, all of this clearly indicates to me that we are living in the last days. The proliferation of biblical error is growing, replacing the truth of God’s Word with a social gospel that literally only has the capacity to divide people by race, gender and ideology. If a Christian does not study and know God’s Word, they have zero chances of seeing the error.
Zechariah 6: Crowning Joshua
Throughout Scripture, God gives us glimpses (sometimes more than just glimpses), into the future where He promises to right wrongs, to rework and recreate things and in general, make life very pleasant for those allowed into the Millennial Kingdom. Zechariah 6 is merely one case of many where the curtain is pulled back from the future and we are enabled to see a glimpse of what to expect then.
Ramping It Up?
My whole point is that it is very difficult to trust the Left. Their rhetoric is increasingly violent. They appear to want to ramp things up in society so that another civil war will occur. As I mentioned last time, it is important for conservatives to not take the bait. At the same time, I also believe it is important not to be inhibited by them, with respect to our freedom of speech and to remain completely calm if ever approached by their agitprops. Remember, it is the agitprops’ job to incite. They are well versed in this. They will scream at you and come up very close to you without touching you because they want YOU to make the mistake of making the first physical move. Don’t take the bait! Remain calm. Find a way to laugh at them. If they DO physically attack you, then be ready to respond to it, but not until. Personally, I’ll give them a wide berth.

God Controls Either Way
I do not know why God has blessed us with an upcoming respite. I tend to think even though the United States deserves major judgment from God, He has chosen to hear the prayers of His children and allow potentially better days ahead. By better days, I’m referring to a break from the constant push toward Communism. As I’ve stated before, Trump is not going to have an easy time. Democrats will do everything they can to keep him from actually going to the White House/Oval Office.
Talking Turkey About Trump
This is the biggest reason I tend not to think Trump is being disingenuous. Too many critically intelligent people support him. Are they all deceived? Are they all part of the larp? Is Tucker Carlson a moron? Is Tusli Gabbard an ignoramus? Is RFK Jr.? What about all the people who believe Trump is who he says he is? Are these people then unable to see the actual nefarious nature of Trump (if it exists)? Are they that stupid due to deception? It seems highly unlikely to me.
Worthless Things?
I’ve come to the conclusion that by thinking about or discussing the evil nature of many of those events and gatherings, we actually end up giving glory to Satan, who created those things. While God created sexual union between a man and a woman, Satan has sought to distort that union as much as possible. Because of that, everything is on display today. Because it’s so openly seen and discussed, people become a bit enamored with it (because of its prurient nature), even when speaking against those things. They simply don’t need to be listed, discussed or thought about.
Zechariah’s Fifth Vision
Though Zechariah saw the visions he did not understand their full meaning. Zechariah asks, “What are these, my lord?” (v. 4; also 12-13). The two Olive trees represent Joshua and Zerubbabel, who are the prototype of the two witnesses of Rev. 11:3-12 and it is also important to understand that only as human beings, Joshua or Zerubbabel represent Jesus – the true Priest-King – that a person is able to fulfill this vision at all. Ultimately, in their fullest sense, the “two olive trees” represents Christ, the Lord’s Priest-King (cf. Ps. 110:4).

It’s Not About Us
We need to learn to focus on the fact that there is still beauty in this world along with at least some measure of righteousness (from those who know Him and God exercising His restraint). This is solely due to God. This does not mean we will never be on the receiving end of direct evil. It simply means that because of God’s restraining hand, the evil that is allowed to touch us is for our growth and His glory and it will never be fully unadulterated evil that will only exist in hell.
Zechariah’s Fourth Vision
The filthiness of Joshua’s rags reference Israel’s stain of her national sin. Joshua stands in for Israel the way Jesus stands in for us now. Interestingly enough, God removed Joshua’s guilt and Satan is silenced. He has no rebuttal because he clearly understands that God fully pardons Joshua the way He will fully pardon Israel’s sin in the future as God pardons the sins of the unbeliever who comes to God in faith in the finished work of Jesus on Calvary’s cross. Satan cannot dispute this.
