Revelation 12: Woman, Child and Dragon
So we are introduced to the following: a woman, who turns out to be pregnant, a red dragon with numerous heads and horns along with a crown on each head. As far as the dragon is concerned, we also learn that this same dragon is one who swept 1/3 of the stars of heaven (angels), so this is an obvious reference to Satan himself. Satan stands before the woman who is about to give birth because Satan’s intent is to totally destroy this child. Satan clearly understood who this child was to be so he intended to stop Him who would eventually become the King of kings and who would reign with a rod of iron, a reference to the coming Millennial Kingdom.
Revelation 11: Two Witnesses and 7th Trumpet
The big question that often arises related to these two men is who are they? Well, the short and best answer is that we do not know! There is absolutely no sense in trying to figure it out either. God has not told us therefore He doesn’t think we need to know. All kinds of guesses have been made but I tend to agree with Dr. Thomas Constable who essentially says that it is likely God will simply raise two unknown men for this particular ministry when the time comes. Certainly, God empowers them as He did Moses, Elijah, Elisha and others, but to suggest that these will rise from the dead is a bit of a stretch. Of course, God can do this if he wishes, but I’m more included to think He will simply prepare two men at that time for that ministry.
Always Trying to Cancel God
The prophet Micah was rebuffed and rebuked for daring to tell the people what God wanted him to tell them, but what the people preferred not to hear. The kings, priests and average Israelite tried their best to “cancel” Micah because of his message. They pushed back by demanding that he stop telling them what he was telling them. In essence, they were ultimately trying to cancel God.
Consider Your Ways!
Christian, is your house in order? Are you focused on God, not the issues of this world? Sure, feel free to notice what is going on but do so through the lens of Scripture. God wants our hearts. He wants us to worship and adore Him, to give Him thanks for everything that comes our way. Are you doing this? If not, please repent of that and get right with God.
Euthanizing Common Sense
Today, the Left sees themselves as virtuous “servants” but in reality they serve the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11), which ultimately means they serve themselves. They do whatever it takes to make themselves feel good, but in actuality, they are literally walking dead, having terminated common sense via wokeness long ago. This is part of God’s judgment on them as Paul clearly delineates in Romans 1. The saddest part is them thinking they have taken the high road when in fact, they are actually taking the low or wide road that leads only to more lies, heartache, despair and ultimately, eternal separation from God.
Micromanaging Mayberry
There are numerous dictators highlighted in Scripture that evidence so much evil, corruption and a desire to control that they stand out as types for the coming Antichrist. One such individual is Antiochus Epiphanes IV. We actually read about this unnamed historical figure several places in the book of Daniel, but it is far more pronounced in Daniel 11:1-35. Here, Antiochus Ephiphanes didn’t seem to care about money, but gathered it for use as a tool. He’d bribe people with it and got folks to do his bidding. Beyond this, he could flatter the clothes off your back with his words and demeanor. He had a habit of coming alongside of someone, taking them into his confidence and making them feel extremely important and needed. Once he had gained their respect and admiration, he thought nothing of throwing them under the bus.
Satanic Tsunami
What the world is moving toward is something created and directed by Satan and using numerous willing globalists to accomplish it, all with God’s permission and for His glory. In order for the final global government to come to fruition (first mentioned in Daniel 2), what exists currently must be destroyed. Without it being destroyed, the current system cannot be replaced. I’m guessing Satan has been given the go-ahead by God, permission to build the final kingdom and eventually introduce Antichrist to the world. I could be wrong, but it just seems to be the case to me. Things are moving very quickly and the level of blindness that keeps much of the world entrapped and enslaved seems to prove it.

Revelation 8: The Seventh Seal
Revelation 8 opens with the Seventh Seal, from which come forth the Seven Trumpet judgments, ordained by God and emanating from His throne. The world is not prepared for these terrible judgments and unwilling to repent.

Eliminate the Stench
Throughout the world evil is increasingly breaking out into the open and many to most people welcome it. Aubrey Plaza, who voices the mom in “Little Demon,” is actually thrilled that the world is embracing paganism. Imagine that. We are seeing an increase in sexual deviancy and demonic subjects and not just in cartoons. Drag Queen book readings and shows featuring very underage “performers” has become all the rage. The continuous unbridled rage against Donald Trump marches on as the Left goes bonkers over the potential fact that he had classified materials in his home. Meanwhile, the Left ignores the new film, “My Son Hunter” as well as the fact that both Hillary and Bill Clinton had classified/sensitive docs in their home. None of that matters to the Left.
Know and Understand
We cannot say on one hand that we understand and know God, while we live in a way that denies His Lordship and authority over our lives. So it naturally follows then that to understand and know God means we will begin to appreciate His ways and act in accordance with His character. This creates increasing spiritual maturity and will bring glory to Him. By the way, understanding and knowing God is not a once for all thing. We don’t “arrive” to a place in this life where we fully understand and know God. That’s impossible. In fact, we will spend eternity understanding and knowing God in far greater detail than we ever will in this life. It is an ongoing process, but of course it will be far easier to accomplish this in the next life when our sin nature has been excised from us and as we are given new, glorified bodies.
