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.
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.
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.

Babylon and Its System, Part 1
But Babylon is not simply the apostate religious system in all its forms. It also includes and is undergirded by the economic system that holds it up. This is what Revelation 18 is all about as it shows us a Babylon that is an economic system.
Vexing of Our Souls?
What are we Christians doing today? Sure, many of us are fighting the good fight of patriotism. We support President Trump and want what is best for the United States of America. Other Christians in foreign nations are trying to do the same thing.
But shouldn’t we also be using our frustration, vexation and feeling provoked within to bring the Gospel message to the masses who so desperately need it? Shouldn’t this be our reaction to the deep-seated hatred emanating from the godless Left?
