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?
Where is CV-19 Potentially Leading Us?
The lockdown is being promoted by government health bureaucrats who are trying to condition individuals to accept mandatory vaccinations with nanochips and immunity-tracking cards. People have shown that they will readily accept the loss of their constitutional rights and liberties in the vain hope that the government will make them safe and secure from disease and death. How foolish!
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.
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.
Love Your Neighbor
I find that for myself, loving others is not quite as easy as some find it, though I also know that I’ve improved over the years and that of course, is due to the Presence of God’s Holy Spirit within me. Yet, the frustration of still knowing that I have such a long way to go exists. Will I ever see huge gains in this life? I’m hopeful. Very hopeful. I know that it won’t happen by accident, but only by my perseverance in pursing God’s character. This is only done by submitting myself to His will even when I don’t fully understand what His will is, but know that I must submit to Him.
What About Our Immune System?
If I had been born and lived in a different country like Canada, Great Britain, Communist China, or the Philippines, life would be very different for me. However, God has placed me in the United States. I am guaranteed tremendous freedoms to pursue life, liberty and happiness. The federal government is supposed to protect my rights, not squelch them. Though Paul told us our true citizenship is in heaven, he was not afraid to use his Roman citizenship to his advantage at times.

Are You Afraid, Christian? Part 2
Wittkowski’s point (and I would encourage everyone to read the entire article), is that when we move among other people in society, there is a “herd immunity” that is developed because we briefly come in contact with people who may well be carrying the flu or viruses and may not know it, or be asymptomatic. This is often why doctors who see many patients per day do not often get sick. They spend very little time with those sick patients and the contact they do have allows their immune systems to rise to the occasion to defend their bodies from illness. He believes because we are sheltering in place and not moving as we would normally in society, we are actually causing the Coronavirus to hang around far longer and not helping our own immune systems “taste” the virus to fight it off.
Are You Afraid, Christian? Part 1
The very process that government is using to keep us “safe” is also the cause of fear and frustration to many. In fact, the main people I see being afraid and acting out of that fear are those who believe if they step out of their homes, they will contract Coronavirus and die!
Perspective on Coronavirus
In another ten page article, we read, “Christians must keep in mind that the majority of public health and other government officials currently guiding their populaces (and actually terrorizing them in many jurisdictions) regarding the coronavirus pandemic are immersed in the dominant
worldview of our culture: atheistic materialism.”
