Perilous Times are Here: Fierce People
The fierceness of their demeanor and attacks on innocent people speaks to the fact that they are literally the fulfillment of Paul’s words to Timothy. These fierce individuals are literally haters of good and those who attempt to do good.
What Time is It?
What we are seeing in the world today is preparation for the coming Tribulation. It is building toward that time. It could be here in six months or six years, I have no clue. I do know that because America in general, including our leaders, have not repented of our corruption, our evil, and our deliberate turning our back on God our Creator, then God will have to judge the USA. If He doesn’t He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah and every other city or empire He judged previously and He is just, fair and righteous. He will not have to apologize to anyone.
Perilous Times are Here: Covetous People
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.
Back in the Saddle with Problems Ahead!
Beyond this, many businesses, due to the draconian rules regarding CV-19, are continuing to place a great deal of stress on owners and employees. One place we ate at in Tucumcari, NM has been there since the 1960s and is on the original Route 66. Because of the rules in place, no restaurant in NM can have inside dining. All dining is either outside or pick-up and go. This is causing tremendous anxiety for people and in a town like Tucumcari, which already dealt with the stress of Route 66 being decommissioned years ago, it’s worse now because of the rules.
In Non-Essentials, Unity?
With respect to anything we might label “non-essentials” of the faith, do these really exist, especially if Jesus was so careful to fulfill all aspects of the Law? I’d encourage all to search the Scriptures. God’s Word is either the final authority for all things pertaining to life and godliness or it is not.

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.
