Islam’s Birth, Roots and Teachings, Pt1
However, the thing we need to ask ourselves is why today’s Muslims are so often heard quoting the verses that speak of killing infidels? Why do they claim to be working toward a time when Islam will rule? Why do they do what they do when they seem to believe they will be rewarded for killing those who are not Muslim, especially Christians and Jews? I personally believe Islam is being used by globalists to help bring in the new world order. Once achieved, these same globalists will deal swiftly with Islam because it will no longer be needed. Until then though two things are in play: first, Islam is being used to disrupt the norm and create fear and change. Second, Islam is uniting with the Left to usher in that new world order, pretending that Islam gets along with the Left. Eventually, Islam will be used to help destroy the Left and then globalists will destroy Islam.
Promises Broken, Promises Kept
In Jeremiah 33, we see that the prophet Jeremiah was still in prison but received another message from the Lord. God promises to fight for Judah and announces that her enemies would end up dead. None of this is based on Israel’s response to God because they continued in their rebellion and disobedience, which is why God needed to purge once again rebels in that nation. However, He was also looking forward to a time when another Israelite generation would exist, a generation that would be obedient to Him. Because of this, the Lord would bring about Judah’s healing and prosperity.
What’s a Christian to Do?
Regardless of what you might believe about a Christian and self-defense, I still insist that being aware of your surroundings is the first and best alternative to being oblivious to what is going on around you. I contend that if a person is fully aware of what is going on around them, the chances of them being the victim are slimmer. Too many people walk through life clueless. They are lost in thought, lost on their phones or simply unaware of what might be transpiring around them. People who are aware do not often become victims. If you do not believe Christians have the right to defend themselves, then at least be willing to be thoroughly focused on what is going on around you. This alone is likely to make you much less of a victim.
Hope is on the Way
Jeremiah had been imprisoned at this time by King Zedekiah for preaching against Jerusalem saying Babylon would destroy the city. It’s also interesting that God prompted Jeremiah to purchase land from his cousin while in prison. This was a test by God because the land was already in possession by Nebuchadnezzar. God commanded Jeremiah to take the Land even though Nebuchadnezzar was ready to take Jerusalem! (v25) Kind of weird but if we consider that God was essentially telling Jeremiah that He would be victorious over Nebuchadnezzar after He finished using the king for His purposes for Israel. In essence God is saying that the Land would come back to Israel eventually.
What Can I Do About This?
We as Christians, can either spend our time worrying about things that we have zero control over, or use the time to draw closer to God, learning to depend on Him in greater measure along with His help to get us through any upcoming dark situation. If we choose the former, we will live utterly defeated lives. Should we choose the latter, we can gain the true understanding that God is in control, that we have nothing to fear and that He will direct our steps and ultimately provide for our actual needs.
In the end, the vast difference between the evil the elite envision and act on, will be seen for what it is when compared with the striking and vivid glory of God. The greater the evil, the more God’s glory shines and that, as I’ve stated before, is God’s ultimate purpose in allowing evil to exist in the first place.

When Darkness Speaks: Understanding God’s Purpose Amid Evil
I asked my wife if she ever felt as though she was kind of hovering between earth and heaven; not fully here in this life, but not yet in heaven? The reason I asked was because that’s the way I’ve felt and I thought that was a bit strange. Her answer surprised me. She stated without hesitation that she certainly did feel as though she wasn’t fully grounded in this life anymore because of the fact that she looked forward to being with our Lord in heaven. This does not mean (for me or her), that we do not like this life. It simply means that we both understand there is a higher calling on our lives and it will only find its full meaning when this life ends and we are both safely and permanently with our Lord. While we see tremendous evil occurring throughout society, we also know it has not reached its zenith yet, but will one day. This is certainly part of the reason that we both feel somewhat of a disassociation between life here on earth and what it so to come in eternity.

Arrogance of the Misled: A Cautionary Tale
Romans 1 spells this out so clearly and I know I’ve referred to this section of Scripture previously, but it bears repeating. The people we see on the streets (or in churches), creating mayhem stemming from their anarchist beliefs are demonically deluded. They have come to believe what they currently believe because of their continued rejection of actual truth. So this didn’t just happen to them. They caused it by their continual rejection of the truth.

Changing Society?
For those Christians who believe that the Christian’s job is to change the tone of society by preaching the Gospel to people with the result being conversion, I’d like to respectfully ask that they think again. By being involved in transforming society, the focus shifts from the person of the unbeliever to the condition of society. While theoretically yes, people who become Christians can have a positive effect on society, there is no guarantee that this will happen.
Pray for Chinese Believers
Imagine living in an area or nation where it is forbidden to own or read the Bible, worship with other believers or be a pastor of a church. Imagine it. It is difficult for me to imagine, but understandably, thinking about the constraints placed on Christians in those areas of the world makes me want to reach out to them even more.
The tremendous censorship that is happening in many areas of the world today will at some point in the future, be the experience of all believers throughout the entire world during the upcoming Tribulation period of seven years, when God pours out His wrath onto this world due to rigid unbelief. During this upcoming campaign of terror, believers will be hemmed in and hard pressed from every side. Many will pay the ultimate price and lose their lives in martyrdom.
What To Do with Violence Unchecked?
But if it isn’t wars and rumors of wars mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 24:6; another form of violence), full-on deceit crafted by Satan and his angels, often using human wolves to deceive the true flock of Jesus exists (2 Corinthians 4:4; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15), false teachers leading to the one final man of lawlessness/Antichrist are clearly here (2 Thessalonians 2), there’s been a tremendous increase in natural disasters (Matthew 24:7b-8), like the typhoons that just hit the Philippines with some of the highest winds ever recorded, increasing persecution of Christians (Matthew 24:9), increasing lawlessness in general and apostatizing of those who have called themselves Christian (Matthew 24:10-12), and much more.
