Our Genetic Fallout
Think of something. When God created Adam and then Eve, He created two physically and physiologically perfect people. They were untested regarding their hearts and loyalty at that point, but neither of them suffered from any medical condition from “birth” nor did they have mutated genes that created problems for them. That is, until they sinned. Once they rebelled against God’s ONE command to not eat from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they began to die, and their DNA became corrupted. This simply means that their genes slowly began to change and mutate because of death that would eventually overtake them. They literally started dying at that point. Yet, because of the fact that they started out physically perfect, it took hundreds and hundreds of years for it to bring them to actual physical death. Adam lived to be nearly 1,000 years old. That is not hard for me to believe because it would’ve taken that long for his literally perfect genes to corrupt themselves enough for his body to die.
Revelation 18 – 20
Think of the fact that the world will have lived through absolute righteousness with the world being somewhat rebuilt and food tasting as it’s never tasted before. Though there will be plenty of resurrected people who no longer have a sin nature, people who are born during the Millennial Kingdom will still be born with sin natures and will still need to come to repentance and receive salvation in Jesus. It seems that there will be multitudes who live as they’re supposed to live during this 1,000 years, but do so because of outward pressures to do so. It won’t come from their hearts. This proves that the heart of man is desperately wicked and can only be changed by God’s grace.
Can Society Survive This?
All of these things – the lack of discernment, the problems with a growing number of Christian leaders, etc. – all provide telltale clues that God’s Word is coming to fruition. People today – both inside and outside of the Church – are more concerned with racial reconciliation, embracing homosexuals, lesbians and transgenders and doing whatever they can to impoverish their congregations by not actually preaching God’s Word, but preaching around it; using a Scripture here or there as a spring board into brainwashing attendees rather than edifying them.

Full Control via Digital A.I.
I wish I could say that things will get better. They won’t. They are going to worsen. We can be assured of that so draw close to our Lord and hold on tight. He has your back. I’ll end with one of my favorite sections of Scripture that I’ve memorized and repeat often (along with Isaiah 41:10), Psalm 147:17-20 (ESV). Read it. Memorize it. Repeat it to yourself. Allow that truth to wash over you as you face each new storm in life. He has not forgotten or rejected you. Learn to fear offending Him through an increase in love for Him. Endeavor to be as truthful as you can be in your prayers to Him. Trust Him for His provision. Everything He does is righteous and gracious.
Lessons from a Pup
I personally believe God created animals that humans ultimately domesticated and became pets to enhance our lives. I know some folks are not animal lovers. To each their own, but I believe they’re missing some wonderful blessings. Since adopting Scooby, we’ve learned a lot about him as he’s acclimating himself to us and us to him. I’m not sure what he went through for the first five months of his life before we adopted him, but I’m thinking not much of it was good at all except for the boy in his life and possibly the grandmother.
Normalcy is the Cure
So again, what should our response be to all of this? I can only think of one real substantive response that will allow us to retain our dignity and purposefully create for ourselves some semblance of well-being in the midst of the growing behemoth of corruption that seeks to swallow all dissenters up and conform us to the final global order.
Predictive Prophecy
We cannot possibly know all aspects of the End Times events and timing and I’m beginning to wonder if much of that pursuit is a fruitless use of energy. God’s primary purpose in telling us ahead of time is not to cause us to focus all of our energies into trying to figure out everything but to shout hallelujahs to Him when those things occur because their fulfillment proves once again that He and He alone is God!
Thought Patterns
I’ve always been a glass half empty kind of person. Always. It’s simply my nature and I realize it largely has to do with impact my parents made on the way I saw the world and think in general. I’m not blaming them. I’m simply saying that whether or not they realized it, they tended to pass down to me (and my sister), the negativism that was rife in their own lives and between my mother and father. That negativism was alive and often fearful to me and so based on what I saw and experienced from a young age, my negative patterns of thinking developed. The adage, “you live what you learn” is very true.
God’s Perspective vs Ours
Sometimes, I wish I was more like Job who put his hand over his mouth to keep from saying something stupid. What he was saying was “I’ve already complained too much and to ensure that it stops, I will physically block my mouth!” Job realized he added nothing to the conversation as he sat in abject awe of God. Though Job started out perplexed, frustrated and almost indignant, he realized ultimately that God is God and His purposes are often way too high for us to comprehend.
Do you think Job ever questioned God again? Do you think he approached life differently from that point on? Do you think he had a greater (though still imperfect), understanding of God’s perspective after what Job went through? I’d prefer not to go through any of that to arrive to the same conclusion.
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 5
Bottom line for me is that Christians today will very likely feel the uptick of “persecution.” Here in the USA, that means as we stand against LGBTQ+ we will be demonized for it. As we resist the wave of Marxism in all its tenets (i.e. Critical Race Theory), as it tries sweeping across our communities, we will experience the wrath of the Left increasingly. We can somewhat guard against that if we are further away from the larger cities, but it will still likely find us where we live. We will also likely have to deal with more health “pandemics” with officials issuing more health mandates to gain more control of society. You need to decide now how you will react to those mandates.
