Zechariah 7: Obedience Better Than Fasting
By Zechariah 7, the people had been captive in Babylon for roughly 68 years, just shy of the requisite 70 years. Because they had been forced out of their Land, they wept and fasted each year to remember the event. The trouble was that though they were remembering the event with weeping and fasting, God had not necessarily told them to do that. Beyond this, had they lived in obedience to Him, they would not have been removed from the Land forcibly and there would have been no need to fast and weep for their loss. They brought it on themselves by their refusal to live as God wanted them to live.
But instead of recognizing this fact, the people sent a couple of representatives to “inquire” of the priests and ultimately, of Zechariah the prophet regarding their weeping and fasting over that event.

Living Upright in an Unright World
It’s very clear what Paul was telling Timothy. We are living in the last days and what we are seeing is simply more evidence of demonic activity working through human beings in preparation for the coming final kingdom led by the Antichrist, than anything else. People, as you know, are truly divided today like never before; divided over ideology, gender, race, culture, religion and politics. It’s causing many to draw battle lines.
Truth is a Distraction??
Consensus is really just another name for compliance because that is the result. However, consensus sounds better because it creates the perception that people have arrived to their beliefs of their own volition and intellect. Ultimately though, consensus breeds submission and this is exactly what Technocrat globalists (and their agents like Katherine Maher), want throughout society. They need the entire world onboard with them, not questioning why they should do something but in the name of consensus, simply doing what is said to be the best approach for the sake and benevolence of global society.
Rough Waters Ahead?
The way the Left has had such a suffocating grip on society for the past nearly 8 years is reprehensible. That’s over. I’ve noticed that people who actively listed their pronouns are quietly removed them now. It seems that transgenders are having second thoughts.
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.
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.

Diminishing Immune Response?
Out of all the doctors I’ve seen over my 67 years, only two have taken the time to discuss what I eat and what I should avoid eating. One of them is my allergy/fibromyalgia specialist in Florida. Another is my current endocrinologist. Other than that, doctors are generally poised to provide a prescription to the patient that will treat symptoms. When symptoms are resolved, people think they are better or healthy. However, the root problem often remains.
End is Not Yet
Things are globally escalating to the point where the world is going to need a “savior;” a voice of intelligent reason who can de-escalate things and lead the way to “peace and prosperity.” If Antichrist had come on the scene 10 or 20 years or more ago, the global situation was far different from what it looks like now. The world seems to be on a fast-track to severe global conflict (including wars and rumors of them, failures of the electric grid, debanking people, push toward climate change, out of control inflation that makes it very difficult for the average person to put food on the table, and a kinetic and growing cultural division throughout American society among other things. If the current global situations did not exist, few would be thinking about someone needed to save the world.

Destroying Democracy?
We are in the final stages of America being stripped of its sovereignty to foreign powers. It’s really as simple as that. If you recall, a previous article I wrote – Devising Iniquity – highlighted how God has often (though not exclusively), worked in the past to judge nations. He would bring one nation against another in what appeared to the world to simply be a particular nation or empire flexing its muscles to conquer a neighboring nation. Once this conquering was complete, the nation that conquered would usually absorb that nation into their current nation, increasing its size and resources (including the ability to tax). To the average person watching, they would merely think that one nation was lording it over another, not realizing that God was directing affairs.
