Context is Really Everything
Today’s Christian need to stop and consider how difficult life was for the average Christian during the first and second centuries. We Christians in America have no real understanding of that because we are simply not physically persecuted like they were then. We might be politically persecuted (oh, woe is us!), but Christians are not accosted on the street for being Christians, neither are we gathered, lined up and executed for our faith as Christians are today in Nigeria and now in Syria by Islamic jihadists who are attempting to bring in the final Islamic Caliphate.

Naboth, Ahab and Lessons of the Elite
If some technocrat came to me and offered me X amount of dollars for my home and land and I refused, I’d be concerned about what might happen after that. There are too many ways for a rich person to ruin a person of average means. If I was then invited to some banquet in my honor, I’d avoid it like the plague.

All Praise to Him
God in Christ is absolutely worthy of our praise. In fact, as the song says, He is worthy of all our praise. He controls all that we can and cannot see and He does so for His glory. I still have difficulty appreciating what life will be like when I am there with Him. It is difficult for my mind to see because I’m not there yet. There is so much in this life that seeks our attention and desires to be enthroned in our hearts. This is the difficulty of living in sin-laden bodies in a world that is cursed. In spite of our salvation, we remain destined to die because of the corruption of our flesh. Yet, that is also a blessing in disguise because death will free us from everything that seeks to destroy us.
Injustices without Letup
I don’t know about you, but I am tired. I have not found a way to consistently and permanently separate myself emotionally from the evil that exists in this world and the plan that God has for it. In essence, I strive to balance the good with the constant bad and while I try to seek the things I believe are more altruistic, it seems glaringly real that evil appears to have the upper hand, at least in this life. Theologically, I know this is not true. Yet, try as I might, it is difficult to come to terms with it.

Attacking Your Cognition
In the video, Mihalcea makes this statement, “But I want to say something that literally…the graphene literally creates demons and they know about that. You can create low energy fields called plasmums and if you lower the vibration, which they’ve done, you can create demons…” That statement, if true, is absolutely shocking. Is this why people are on the constant edge of melting down today over nothing? People seem angrier. They are more unreasonable. They aren’t thinking clearly because it’s very possible they’ve lost the capacity to do that.

Marvelous in Our Eyes
Jesus quotes this passage in Mark 12, in his parable about the wicked tenants. In effect, this statement – the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes – is a fascinating statement. I’ve read it. You’ve read it. Pastors have preached about it. Books have been written regarding it. But even though we get a sense of what that means, it isn’t really driven home to us until something in our life matches it. Then our eyes begin to open to that awesome reality. Let me give you a personal example.
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.
