Rev 13: Beast Out of the Earth

The second beast even goes so far as to direct people on the earth to make some sort of image (statue or something), that represents the first beast. Obviously, the world does this because the second beast then was given power (by Satan most likely, or God allows it because in the end, He will be glorified), to “give breath” to that image the world created. This image will become very lifelike (again, by supernatural empowerment, not digital trickery), and cement the reality of his and the first beast’s power. Because of these things, people will flock after the second beast and trip over themselves to worship the first beast.

Revelation: Last Generation, Pt 1

Daniel 7:24 above notes that in order to obtain this power and authority or allegiance from these ten kings, Antichrist will “subdue” three of the kings. This word is translated variously “subdue” to “put down” to “humiliate.” The scope of the idea here is that Antichrist will likely uproot from their position somehow or possibly kill three of them to show that he means business and it would be best for the remaining 7 kings to go along with Antichrist ans his demands. This is further corroborated by the fact that he becomes the 8th king (Revelation 17:11).

So Close?

I would encourage believers to live as though we are going to enter the Tribulation and if the Rapture occurs during the remainder of our lives at some point, wonderful. If not, that’s okay too because God still has it fully under control and He asks us to trust Him. Are you willing to do that?

Two Second Comings??

The Rapture will happen when one thing occurs: the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (Romans 11:25), otherwise known as the last Gentile to be saved into the Church, prior to the Tribulation. God will then say, “It’s time!” and He calls His Bride home. Following the Rapture, the raw, unfiltered evil currently held back by the restraint of the Holy Spirit working through the Church will flood the world. Even a cursory reading of Revelation reveals that things become exceedingly evil during the Tribulation (Revelation 6-19), and the time immediately leading up to it (2 Timothy 3). I personally believe we are seeing that evil beginning to leach into society now.

The Bridegroom Cometh

Is Jesus preparing a place for us on this earth? Absolutely not. He is in the third heaven now where the throne of God exists and it is there that He is preparing a place for us. So when the Rapture occurs, He will re-enact the Jewish wedding ceremony by simply stepping out of the third heaven, to come toward us, a horn will blow and a voice of the archangel will cry out and all who are part of the authentic Church, the Bride of Christ will hear it, will then be “caught up” (rapturo) in the clouds to be with our Lord, our God, our Savior and our Bridegroom forever and ever we will follow Him back to heaven, and we will see for the first time the place Jesus has prepared for us there.

Psalm 83: Prophecy or Lament?

Salus is clear that he believes Israel is not living securely now, which he thinks, will eventually usher in this Psalm 83 Israel-Arab conflict and produce that “security” for Israel. He says the Hebrew “yashab betach” means a “…security that is accomplished through military defeat.” Salus even states, based on this thinking that “…at this point and time I don’t see that Israel exists.” The problem is that author, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum says otherwise, that essentially Israel is secure in their ability to defeat their enemies, just as they did during the Six Day War (my paraphrase, from his book The Footsteps of the Messiah). Israel most certainly exists and even the ungodly UN admits that fact. Israel appears secure in the sense of being able to defend itself against her enemies as we’ve seen in recent history time and time again.

Before the Wrath

The acting and cinematography of the movie is very well done. Kudos there. The music, the narration by Kevin Sorbo, all good. The problem is what I’ve noted above. I think they could have done better and for that reason, I give the movie a score of 3 out of 5 and that’s being gracious.

Psalm 37: Do Not Fret?

So what is your focus? Is it focus on evil people and the evil they create or is it instead to focus on God, His love, His, justice, His promises and His sovereignty? That is our choice and what we do with that choice determines whether we live in freedom and praise or overwhelming fear, anger, and defeat in this life.

Anger Without Sin

The best thing we can do is pray. What does God want from us? How can we seek change in the face of growing fascism? What should my demeanor be? In the end, we may end up losing but it won’t be because we did not try to resist tyranny. If we comport ourselves correctly even if angry, those who we stand against (and remember, our fight is not against flesh and blood but all the spiritual powers and wickedness in the spiritual realm; Ephesians 6:12), will at the very least get the message and their accusations against us will not be validated, even if God allows them to win.

News and Notes Update: January 8, 2021

All of this will segue into a system of socialism whereby people are simply presented with a “paycheck” regardless of what they do or how many hours they work. Under socialism, there is truly no incentive. When we went to Europe a number of years ago, I made it a point to talk with people who were living under Socialism. They said there was no way they could get ahead. The system worked against them and these were people who owned their own businesses and wanted to get ahead to provide for their families. No matter what they did or how hard they worked, it simply couldn’t be done. That system is coming to America and Leftists will applaud it.
