Why Talk About CV-19?
I can see no other reason for this continued push toward tyranny except that he and others are working on behalf of globalists (who work on behalf of Satan), in order to install a final world order over which they will rule. This is why I began writing the series Daniel 7 and Revelation 13. In fact, the study of End Times is what motivates me to help people understand the times in which we live. We need to see the signs and live accordingly. I really don’t think there’s that much time left, but I hope I’m wrong.
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.
Government Mandates Pt 3
Antichrist will be fully empowered by Satan, which will give him the ability to use marvelous signs and wonders and deception to deceive the masses. The difference between then and now is that many of us understand what is coming and we see shades of it happening now. Because we see what’s coming, we are on our guard and aware of the possibility that what is happening now with respect to the CV19 situation, things could quickly move to the point of no return where people throughout society (including within the USA), will be little more than cattle, shuffled here and directed there.
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.
Prayer – Why Bother?
Ultimately, until I learn differently, prayer is what the Christian enters into in order to ultimately come to terms with and accept God’s will. We eventually learn to pray for His will to happen. “Not my will, but thine be done,” should become the attitude of every Christian as we approach our Lord in prayer for all things. There’s nothing wrong with asking God for specific things we would like to see occur. However, we should always be willing to set them aside if God chooses another course of action. We are His servants. He is the Master. We do not dictate to Him. What servant tells the Master what to do? Asking is one thing. Insisting is something else. Submitting and embracing the Master’s will is our portion or should be.
Growing Cold…
The tragedy of Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 are stark and real. No one expected the flood during Noah’s day, especially considering that God watered the earth with a mist daily. What was rain?! No one expected God to destroy Sodom or Gomorrah with fire and brimstone due to their lawlessness and wickedness. It wasn’t just homosexuality and homosexual rape. That existed because that society had gone downhill for some time and that was the natural devolving as Paul tells us in Romans 1.
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.
