News and Notes Update: November 11, 2020
The world is headed toward judgment and Psalm 2 bears this out very clearly, as just one example. The nations rage at God. They want so desperately to throw off the “chains” of His greatness and oversight. They want to do things their way and snub God. In fact, they want to forget God altogether. God will give them that opportunity in the coming Tribulation.
Trusting the Lord in Dark Times
Recall the apostle Paul stated that “we are not unaware of Satan’s schemes so that he should outwit us,” (2 Cor 2:11). That is truth, like the rest of Scripture! Truth that changes our focus. Paul was saying that he had come to understand the many ways that Satan attempted to outwit or overcome Paul and those he traveled with and because of Paul’s understanding he was able to look beyond the schemes to see God in the process.
Focusing on the Future
For those interested, I’ve been placing up videos of the Sunday morning class I’m teaching at our local church that addresses the End Times, or Last Days. The title of the series is “Focusing on the Future” and for those interested, they can head over to our Sermon Audio page and begin with Part 2. Unfortunately, we did not have things in place to record the first part, but we provide a bit of a review at the beginning of the second class to bring people up to speed.
Globalists Pushing the Great Reset
What we have today is a precursor to the “intrigue” and “politicking” that the Antichrist will use to gain the throne of this coming one-world kingdom. There is a great deal of political intrigue and deception happening today and not just with CV-19. The lies are huge. Watching the video reminds of the many forms of propaganda being used to create the necessary fear that will push this world over the edge into a complete surrender of individual state sovereignty for the purposes of a one-world union.
Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement
Notice what Paul says. He warns the way the average person will be during these last days. It’s not a pretty picture and we are seeing it throughout many areas of the USA. People are being absolutely vicious. I watched a video of a man trying to help an older man who was carrying the American flag. The rioters were already trying to harm the older man when the younger man came to his aid. The crowd of rioters immediately turned on the younger man and went after him. He tripped and hit his head on the pavement and went unconscious. Immediately, a young male hauled off and kicked him in the head as he lay in the street. I learned later the man died. This has happened repeatedly throughout the USA in many cities. Just look at Paul’s description of people! They are acting more like demons than people. They are blood thirsty and completely centered on what they want. Hate fills their hearts.
Mystery of Iniquity Increases
I trust the Bible. I believe the mystery of iniquity is growing exponentially and will ultimately birth the final global empire first spoken of in Daniel 2. That empire will be led by the “man of sin” – the Antichrist. His intent will not be to rule the world just for the sake of ruling it. His intent is clearly defined the book of Revelation (and in numerous other portions of Scripture), where he will ultimately gather the earth’s armed forces in a last ditch attempt to keep Jesus Christ from returning to this earth as Victor and King of Kings. Can you believe the unmitigated gall of believing that?
Esther: God’s Sovereignty
The book of Esther provides information on how godly Mordecai helped Esther become the new queen of Persia. It’s a fascinating read and one might wonder, why did Mordecai push Esther into that? Again, the reason becomes clear later on, that Mordecai himself may not have even seen. Initially it appears that Mordecai was simply looking out for a better way of life for Esther. Mordecai had taken Esther in during Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem and during the time her parents had died. Obviously, Mordecai wanted the best for Esther so he gently prodded her to apply herself to becoming the new queen. There were clearly many women who also tried to attain this goal, but for “some” reason, King Ahasuerus was smitten with Esther, whom the Scriptures describe as having a “…beautiful figure and was lovely to look at” (v. 7b)
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.
