In other words, leprosy was infectious! Turns out it can travel through the air and live on surfaces for several days! Looks like God was right again for His reasoning to distance! Also note in Leviticus that lepers were to cover their top lip, which usually meant a facial covering over their mouths or lower portion of their faces. Only the “unclean” person was to cover themselves this way and social distance. This did not apply to healthy people in society.

Understand please that when I say the PreTrib Rapture, I am talking about the Lord taking His Church/Body to be with Him prior to the pouring out of His WRATH. The Bible says “day of the Lord” is the start of God pouring out His wrath onto humanity and this earth. It is not a particular “day” but a period of time; the seven year Tribulation period. The entirety of that seven years is the pouring out of God’s wrath and note, all events of the Tribulation are directed by God from His throne room as evidenced by the fact that the apostle John is called up to heaven to begin viewing those events from that vantage point (Rev 4).
So, while the Church is fully exempt from all aspects of God’s wrath, we are not exempt from tribulation (small “t”) and persecution in this life. In fact, we are promised tribulation (Matthew 10:16-42; John 15:20; 2 Timothy 3:12; see also Revelation 2:10). Persecution is promised. If you are not at all being persecuted for being a Christian, maybe your circle of friends is too small. Maybe you’re not being an effective witness for Christ. I’m not trying to make you feel guilty. I’m simply noting that you may wish to take a look at things. Are you afraid to stand up for Jesus? Are you unwilling to speak out against the things that society has said we cannot be “negative” about? I’m not saying to go looking for persecution. I’m simply saying be prepared for the fact that if you’re not suffering for it now, it may well be on the way.
Genesis 41: 7 Years of Severe Famine
Instead of petitioning God for a different result – to not send seven years of severe famine – Joseph was given insight and wisdom in knowing how to handle the severe famine. In fact, Pharaoh quickly realized that Joseph was the guy who would make the right decisions and deal with the famine in the best way possible, if they were willing to do what Joseph recommended.
Biblical View of Self-Defense
We live in a time where the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, current possibilities of economic and societal collapse, and crime have people buying guns and ammunition in large quantities for self protection. What does the Bible say about that? What does the Bible say about so-called “assault weapons”?
As always, we want our hearts and minds to be ruled and informed by Scripture–not by our emotions, not by our experiences, and certainly not by the World. And because the Scriptures have much to say about this topic, it is relevant and worth examining in the Church.
Technocracy: Controlling Your Movements
Remember, technocracy relies on the subject of “climate change” that causes fear in people so that we will want to use less energy. In fact, everything the technocrats do is fear-based because they know that fear is a tremendous motivator. People who fear want to be released from that fear and because of that, they are willing to do whatever it takes to experience that release and once again be able to embrace “safety.”

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.
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.

What we are seeing of course are the results of Marxism that has swept society. The call to defund police is part of the Marxist campaign that has worked in other countries like Venezuela and of course, decades ago under Hitler’s regime. Defunding the police is necessary for Marxists to gain even more power than they currently have in society now. Many elected officials either refuse to condemn Marxist violence or urge them on by making statements such as “Chickens have come home to roost.” Several police departments like Austin, TX have been defunded.
Technocracy: China
Technocracy is happening in Europe and Asia, as well as Canada and other parts of the world like Mexico. America may well be the last to fall to technocratic rule, but it will fall, according to Scripture.
Marxism is one of the main ideologies used to destroy any country. Technocracy is used to rebuild that country after Marxism overcomes it. Living under technocracy is like living under Marxism on steroids.
Technocracy: Actually Building It
If we stop to consider it, the final global empire of Daniel 2, that will be destroyed at the physical return of Jesus, really has roots all the way back to the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. We understand that from a biblical perspective because the Bible itself highlights that through line from Genesis to the book of Revelation. It’s very clear the “mystery” that is Babylon first started in earnest in Genesis 11 and won’t be destroyed (the physical or spiritual aspect), until the second half of the Tribulation. When Jesus returns, He will physically deal with the leader of this final empire – Antichrist (and his false prophet) – and whatever remains of the empire itself (Rev 20). The text of Daniel 2 tells us that upon Jesus’ return (the Stone made without hands), the entirety of this empire with remnants from previous empires noted there, will be absolutely and categorically destroyed and scattered to the wind (Daniel 2:33-35).
