Is It Economic or Prophetic Forecasting?
Folks, if you have not succumbed to the fear that society is trying really hard to generate, you will find yourself rising above it. That doesn’t mean you ignore reality. It means you face reality with the knowledge that God is with you, that you are His and because you do not fear, you can live by the wisdom and discernment He provides you.
Book of Daniel: Introduction
One of the main purposes of Daniel is to give hope to Israel. Because of their constant rebellion and backslidden condition, many devout Jews were tempted to think God had abandoned them. Daniel’s purpose in writing blended the two themes of prophecy and right living from the heart. Daniel wrote first to show God’s future program for the nation of Israel (in light of her rebellious nature), during and after what is known as “the times of the Gentiles.”

Fear is a Snare
Through all of this, people in charge learned immediately that most in society would obey every order issued without hesitation. Those who obeyed would then, often with hostility, unleash their ire on those who did not obey. Fear does things to people and in this case, people feared death so much that they were willing to hate on anyone who did obey the mandates issued by Fauci, Birx, and other unelected bureaucrats.
Perniciously Pervasive
In my view, the best way to move forward is to reduce and even eliminate our emotional dependence on the way society used to be. Pull away. Separate yourself emotionally and you won’t be dragged down by it. Do not allow yourself to be overcome by what God is allowing Satan and his cohorts (both demonic and human), to accomplish in life.
Being Invisible
The goal – as Charles Hugh Smith notes – is to not stick out like a sore thumb or stand up like a nial. He refers to it as “opting out.” You don’t make noise. You don’t call attention to yourself. You don’t scream and shout about it. You simply go about your business quietly, choosing to opt out of mandates you believe are unconstitional and harmful to your health and economic means (masks, social distancing, lock-downs, jabs, etc.).
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.
Science? Really?
So folks, in the coming weeks and months we will all be faced with the same mandates we faced during the original COVID. Mentally prepare yourself for the ever-widening mask, social distancing and even jab mandates. If and when that doesn’t cause enough fear in society, we should expect to see “climate change” lock-downs on top of that, which I’m assuming will mean little or no travel without express permission. Law enforcement will be just “doing their jobs” by ticketing and even possibly arresting people who ignore and set aside these mandates.
Can Society Survive This?
All of these things – the lack of discernment, the problems with a growing number of Christian leaders, etc. – all provide telltale clues that God’s Word is coming to fruition. People today – both inside and outside of the Church – are more concerned with racial reconciliation, embracing homosexuals, lesbians and transgenders and doing whatever they can to impoverish their congregations by not actually preaching God’s Word, but preaching around it; using a Scripture here or there as a spring board into brainwashing attendees rather than edifying them.

Full Control via Digital A.I.
I wish I could say that things will get better. They won’t. They are going to worsen. We can be assured of that so draw close to our Lord and hold on tight. He has your back. I’ll end with one of my favorite sections of Scripture that I’ve memorized and repeat often (along with Isaiah 41:10), Psalm 147:17-20 (ESV). Read it. Memorize it. Repeat it to yourself. Allow that truth to wash over you as you face each new storm in life. He has not forgotten or rejected you. Learn to fear offending Him through an increase in love for Him. Endeavor to be as truthful as you can be in your prayers to Him. Trust Him for His provision. Everything He does is righteous and gracious.
