Perilous Times are Here: Lovers of Self
Christians have a responsibility and our responsibility is to God. In short, Christians have one job in spite of what is happening in society at any point in time. Our job is to preach Christ and Him crucified! The only real healing and justice that can happen in society is when it happens with one person at a time and that is only through Christ and the salvation that only He provides! There is NO other way and this is why in society there are many checks and balances with lower courts to higher courts to eventually the Supreme Court. Even there, true justice might not occur, but it has a far better chance of happening than if there was only one court and one group of judges.
What About Social Distancing and Masks?
The United States is moving rapidly toward a new era, one that is not welcoming or conducive to truth or the rule of law. Anarchists want anarchy and anything that will ultimately overthrow the current system of law and order. Politicians appear to be on the side of the anarchists because they do nothing. This whole thing is a farce and most of us realize it. The difficulty that exists is how to combine efforts and take charge? I’m not sure that’s possible because there aren’t any real leaders that I see. Without real leaders, nothing other than tweeting can happen.
2 Thessalonians: Holding Up Under Hard Times
I recall one particular situation where as I was walking home from school, I was approached and blocked by a larger student, who was getting in my face and being unkind to say the least. I’ve always had the ability to say what I thought even when it wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing to do. Instead of backing down, I stood up as tall as I could and with a bit of false bravado, I refused to be bullied. I balled up my fists and stuck out my chin to him as I refused to cower outwardly. Surprisingly, instead of beating me, he eventually simply walked away with a snarl.
Perilous Times are Here
It is remarkable that today, people in Congress can actually speak in favor of socialism (which simply leads to Communism), and few take them to task over it. It is becoming the accepted mark of anyone who wants to appear to be “courageous” or “woke.” But what does Marxism actually stand for and is there a chance that it has taken over major aspects of American society? It would seem so but in order to make an accurate assessment, it would be helpful to look at some of the main goals of Marxism. Are those goals helping to create the “perilous times” that Paul spoke of almost 2,000 years ago?
2 Thessalonians: Introduction
Though these things are often unpleasant, God allows these for our growth and His glory – the spread of the Gospel. It may be extremely difficult for us – depending upon our personalities – to willingly place ourselves under persecution God allows to come to us. Yet Paul echoes Jesus in saying we are blessed! God WILL reward our willing acceptance of what He allows to come our way. He will reward us NOW with greater faith and the ability to persevere. He will reward us LATER with a full rest from all afflictions/persecutions.
Lawlessness: the Vehicle Ushering in Final Empire
As lawlessness increases, we know that things are building to a new order, the final empire. The goal of lawlessness is not simply to be lawless. The goal is to overturn and overrule. It puts so much internal pressure on the current system that something has to give. That something is usually the system itself, which is replaced with something else.
Agenda 2030
We are living in that time right now and it is destined to get much worse over the next ten years as the UN doubles down to bring in their socialistic New World Order. As Christians, we really need to keep our heads above the water and in God’s Word. We need to understand that as these things ramp up, God has not forgotten us. He is faithful. Are we faithful to Him in understanding that He and He alone helps us, protects us, and keeps us?
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.
