Psalm 83: Prophecy or Lament?
Salus is clear that he believes Israel is not living securely now, which he thinks, will eventually usher in this Psalm 83 Israel-Arab conflict and produce that “security” for Israel. He says the Hebrew “yashab betach” means a “…security that is accomplished through military defeat.” Salus even states, based on this thinking that “…at this point and time I don’t see that Israel exists.” The problem is that author, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum says otherwise, that essentially Israel is secure in their ability to defeat their enemies, just as they did during the Six Day War (my paraphrase, from his book The Footsteps of the Messiah). Israel most certainly exists and even the ungodly UN admits that fact. Israel appears secure in the sense of being able to defend itself against her enemies as we’ve seen in recent history time and time again.
Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 Pt 2
We noted that we could very well be on the cusp of the final revised Roman Empire coming to the fore, led by Satan, who will give his power and authority to his spiritual son, Antichrist. We see that what is going on in the world now has to do with the fact that a great deal of control is being exercised over the entire global society. Some nations are obviously having more success corralling, containing and controlling the people of that nation. Globalists seem to be chomping at the bit to maintain their grip through their agents like Dr. Anthony Fauci, and successfully gain full control by implementing a digital vax passport, gaining full control over the monetary system and eventually place themselves as world leaders over every national culture. They are making the most of COVID, throughout the world; not letting a good crisis go to waste.
Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 Pt 1
Since the Mediterranean Sea is most likely in view, the reference then might simply extend and incorporate the Mediterranean World itself, not necessarily the entire world. The “winds” express God’s judgment and how He uses those heavenly and earthly forces to bring about His own will in influencing the nations.[1] Interestingly enough, the first four beasts/kingdoms were centralized in roughly the same area of the world. Only the revived Roman Empire will likely incorporate the entire world.
End Times: The Tribulation
But the big question is if this particular one-world order that is spoken of in many sections of both the Old and New Testaments is to occur, how will anyone know when it has actually begun? Is there some type of signal or event that will occur globally that will be the red flag to tell the world that the Tribulation has in fact, begun? I believe there is and I’ve spoken about this before but it is not the Rapture (which we will get into in another part).
Is Not Fretting Possible?
There were days and periods in Jesus’ life where a war on His emotions really took its toll on Him. The Garden of Gethsemane is only one example (Luke 22). He didn’t walk through life with constant joy and without trials. However, He learned and understood that in spite of what the Father sent or allowed to come His way, the victory was always His because of the way He approached each problem, by giving it to the Father. He prayed until He was able to release it and I must do the same.
Spartacus
To date, my wife and I know of nearly 10 people personally who have died after taking the jab. The latest one just died this week, October 6. He was in fairly good health for his age and took the vax earlier this year. By April, he began having severe problems with an increase in specific proteins in his blood. Doctors of course were “baffled.” They didn’t really know what to do though they knew what the problem was and what it was doing. This is because doctors have for too long been trained to treat symptoms not the actual problem that creates the symptoms. So another soul is dead, gone into eternity and people around him still don’t get it. Apparently, shortly before he died, he started feeling better, even started driving again and interacting with other people (he and his wife literally hid inside their home for over a year in abject fear of CV). Then, he took a serious turn for the worse. I don’t know if he was hospitalized, but apparently he went downhill very quickly.
God Still Judges Nations
So while Habakkuk cried out to God much the same way that we do now, what was God’s response? Unfortunately for Habakkuk (and us), it was not what the prophet wanted to hear. Habakkuk wanted God to intervene and make things right. But God will not simply do that without pouring out His judgment first. In other words, God makes things right via judgment.
Government Mandates, Pt 1
So here we see three separate examples of government mandates and three separate responses to these mandates. The truth is that these four men did not consider their lives worth saving, but entrusted themselves to God for His will to be accomplished.
How Will You Stand?
Many of the saints of old are heroes to us for their faith, their resolve and their clarity in seeking and even knowing God (to the degree with which He can be known to us). But what of Christians today who are too often sidelined and sidetracked by things in society? I must include myself in that because there have been times when I know I have not been as faithful to Him as I ought to have been.
Anger Without Sin
The best thing we can do is pray. What does God want from us? How can we seek change in the face of growing fascism? What should my demeanor be? In the end, we may end up losing but it won’t be because we did not try to resist tyranny. If we comport ourselves correctly even if angry, those who we stand against (and remember, our fight is not against flesh and blood but all the spiritual powers and wickedness in the spiritual realm; Ephesians 6:12), will at the very least get the message and their accusations against us will not be validated, even if God allows them to win.
