What Time is It?
What we are seeing in the world today is preparation for the coming Tribulation. It is building toward that time. It could be here in six months or six years, I have no clue. I do know that because America in general, including our leaders, have not repented of our corruption, our evil, and our deliberate turning our back on God our Creator, then God will have to judge the USA. If He doesn’t He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah and every other city or empire He judged previously and He is just, fair and righteous. He will not have to apologize to anyone.
In Non-Essentials, Unity?
With respect to anything we might label “non-essentials” of the faith, do these really exist, especially if Jesus was so careful to fulfill all aspects of the Law? I’d encourage all to search the Scriptures. God’s Word is either the final authority for all things pertaining to life and godliness or it is not.
What About Social Distancing and Masks?
The United States is moving rapidly toward a new era, one that is not welcoming or conducive to truth or the rule of law. Anarchists want anarchy and anything that will ultimately overthrow the current system of law and order. Politicians appear to be on the side of the anarchists because they do nothing. This whole thing is a farce and most of us realize it. The difficulty that exists is how to combine efforts and take charge? I’m not sure that’s possible because there aren’t any real leaders that I see. Without real leaders, nothing other than tweeting can happen.
Homeless Camps and Fascism in USA
Watch out for those who try to make you feel guilty for not wearing a mask, accusing you of “killing” other people. In spite of actual facts, (which these folks dutifully ignore), these people continue to berate others who do not comply. Their “conditioned responses” to the Left’s egregious infringement of rights should be a wake-up call. Instead, it causes many to cower and simply obey whether they want to or not. Notice 4th and 26 first issued an implied threat than said he wasn’t “demanding.” This is a form of political correctness (aka Cultural Marxism) to force people to do what they might otherwise not do.
Asian Hornets Have Landed and Other Things in Society
This is all a sign to me that these things are largely in place to remain in society. While we may see a few restrictions fade away (and masks may be one of those things to fade), I believe a large percentage of restrictions that exist now with more on the way, will remain in society and people will simply get “used” to them. We do this every time. Whether it was the Patriot Act or any number of things that have interrupted society’s normal flow, many of these adoptive efforts become permanent. Remember how well the government uses Hegelian Dialectic.
Social Distancing Measures are Here to Stay
What we are seeing is pure Hegelian Dialectic. The government wanted a specific direction so they created a problem (shutting down society based on a health risk), people clamor for a solution so government said, “Okay” and start reopening society with many restrictive measures in place and the only way they’ll possibly be rolled back is by receiving the coming vaccine. Because there is some relief, the average person breathes a sigh of relief believing that things are going back to normal. Instead, a new normal is created and people eventually get used to it.
Are We There Yet?
It used to be very difficult for me to “see” how the world would become united so that the way is prepared for the coming man of sin. I’ve thought the Rapture would be a major catalyst in unifying the world and it still very well may be. However, I’m also realizing that people throughout the world want safety more than anything and are willing to cash in their freedom to gain and keep it. The fear of illness and/or death will unite the world.
Quarantining ALL of Society Because SOME are Sick?
I agree with Trewhella when he says that too many Christians today are marching toward statism, which elevates the state (government). We simply go along. We are obeying the state to the exclusion of God’s Word! This should not be! It does NOT mean we become violent or confrontational. It simply means we use common sense and obey God’s Word when it comes to societal rules for living.
What’s the End Game?
There is a great deal of fear-mongering out there today. We are told that no one knows how contagious this virus is and the best way to combat it is to close shop and stay away from people! This was never the case with any other airborne illness is recent history, yet without supporting evidence, the government is telling us to shelter in place.
Babylon and Its System, Part 4
Those Christians living during the coming Tribulation will be very tempted to become part of the Babylon system – religiously, economically, politically and socially – and may even want to move to that location to be closer to the action. The fact that once destroyed, Babylon becomes a haunt of demons, unclean spirits, birds and beasts probably affirms the fact that this Babylon in Revelation 17/18 is a real, physical place if physical birds and beasts can dwell there.
