News and Notes for June 12, 2023
Daily, I read of folks – young, old and very young – who are simply dying. The response from medical community is “Gee, we are simply baffled.” Mark my words folks. When the numbers of sudden deaths increase to the point where they won’t be able to hide it any longer, they will use those numbers to scare society into believing that another “pandemic” is upon us. They will turn a deaf ear to anyone who asks about whether or not the excess deaths are representative of the vaxxed or unvaxxed communities. In fact, those folks who dare ask that question will be emotionally and verbally eviscerated into silence and then censored and banned. There are things you are not allowed to ask today.
Burning It Down with Lies
People are walking through life blind to what Satan is creating and we know his house is built on lies because that’s his native tongue (John 8:44). I guess this should not surprise me, but it still does. According to Scripture, there will come a time in global society where the world will become one ideologically and religiously, which means a cooperative global turning away from God and His truth to deliberately embrace satanic error (2 Thess 2:11; 2 Timothy 4:3).
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 2
All of the above takes time. It cannot occur in one event on the timeline. I don’t know where we are in the process because I cannot see behind the scenes in the spiritual realm and no one else can either. Like everyone else, we are left to try to look at conditions in the world and determine if the Bible speaks to those things. Beyond this, I don’t even know if Antichrist has been born yet because I have no idea who he is though I believe he has but in this case, belief is not fact. If he has, then we are somewhere on that timeline above. But again, the question is what exactly does the first seal reference?
Is It All a Dream?
All of this unleashed a firestorm of criticism by the vaccinated toward the unvaxxed as seen in the video snippets above. Sadly, many of those vocally condemning the unvaxxed are now dead, because of severe adverse reactions, cancer or a “medical emergency” (a new term that has been normalized since the rollout of the CV jab). There are stories after stories on various Telegram channels (Died Suddenly News, COVID Vaccine News, COVID Vaccine Injuries, and others), highlighting one person after another – the very young to older – who have died from what are being called “turbo cancers,” strokes, or heart attacks.
Revelation 18 Part 2
In this section, Babylon is destroyed and the kings of the earth (likely politicians, since the 7 remaining kings along with Antichrist turn on the “whore” of Babylon and destroy her). So the important people who gained fortunes from their involvement with Babylon “weep and mourn” over the loss. They are in anguish over the fact that their ability to enrich themselves is gone. That’s what they are grieved about. They bemoan the death of Babylon – such a “great” and “mighty city” that is now gone, in a heap of destruction.
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 1
My point is that it will take some time for Antichrist to gain traction and conquer enough people and even national heads through political intrigue (as Antiochus Epiphanes IV was able to do), before he will have enough power to confirm any covenant that will wind up being put in place between “the many” (Jewish people or Israel’s leaders), and Arabs who hate Jews. This won’t happen overnight. It will take time.
Times of Trouble, May 29th
There are many examples of how God chose specific people in Scripture for specific purposes at specific times. You and I are here on this earth now because God has willed it. He has important work for you and me to accomplish. We do it by relying on His strength and direction and by remaining free of the world’s stain. As we trust Him, He opens doors for greater work. We cannot shrink from the times in which we currently live. Yes, it may be tiring and frustrating but God should guide us, not the world.
Mysticism’s Trojan Horse
The unbiblical part of what Nouwen said is that they can come “whether they know about Jesus or not,” which is 100% incorrect. Ultimately, Nouwen’s false statement is based entirely in New Age tenets tenets. This has been part and parcel of the New Age since its inception and goes back to the mystery religion of Babel (Genesis 11). Jesus said very clearly, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me the Son,” (John 14:6). The New Age argues that’s not what Jesus meant. They say we need to dig much deeper to uncover the actual meaning. No, Jesus spoke plainly and people wanted Him dead because of His claims. They did not misunderstand Him.
Revelation 18 Part 1
While Ancient Babylon fell to Cyrus (539 BC), this fall did not fulfill Old Testament prophecies about Babylon completely (Isa 47:11 and Jer 51:18). John describes the upcoming fall of Babylon through the eyes of the onlookers on earth.
Since Babylon’s creation, with beginnings back to the Tower of Babel, it has risen to heights of idolatry and luxury, which will reach its pinnacle during the coming Great Tribulation. Then, it will BE the center for false worship and economic prosperity. It will also become the actual prison for demons against their will (v 2; Isa 13:21-22; 34:11-17; Jer 51:37) and implies there is something physical about it. However, when God destroys it, it will become utterly desolate.
When?
Strangely, I’m at peace over this and it probably has to do with the fact that things have progressed too far along to go back. We cannot overturn what God has said will occur and is going to allow. While we might not like it, we cannot overthrow it and why should we want to if God has determined it? It reminds me of the time Babylon’s Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah/Jerusalem and took captives back to his Babylonian Kingdom (2 Kings 25). If you’ll recall, through mainly Jeremiah at the time, God specifically told those in Judah that they should not resist and should simply go to Babylon into captivity. They should also seek peace in Babylon during their captivity so that they would have peaceful lives while there. God promised to release them from that captivity after 70 years, which meant a new generation would go back to Judah. Interestingly enough, there were false prophets in Judah who said God would provide the victory over Nebuchadnezzar in a short time, not 70 years. There are many false prophets today who tell us good things about what’s coming (including a major revival). Ignore them. God will deal with them.
