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.
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.

Forgiveness vs Forbearance
We should also always let go of and deny the temptation for revenge or vengeance. In truth this can only be done through our willingness to do so and the cooperation or practice of it over time with God’s help. This can become easier to do over time. It’s not as though people will stop offending us through words or actions, is it? As time progresses, while it’s doubtful we will be perfect at forgiving right out of the gate, we need to consciously decide to obey God in forgiving (or forbearing), in each instance, fully leaning on God for His strength and empowerment to do so.

From Judgment to Hope: Jeremiah’s Enduring Message
These three chapters deliver stern warnings of judgment against corrupt leaders, false prophets, and a disobedient Judah, culminating in the prophecy of a 70-year Babylonian captivity. Interestingly enough, in the midst of these threats, God promises to raise a Righteous Branch (Messiah) from David’s line. Further, God will restore the remnant, while also pronouncing judgment on Babylon itself as well as other nations that set themselves against Israel.

Living to Forgive
Because of who God is, His great love for us and His willingness to forgive us for all the offences we have committed, are committing and will commit against Him, a great portion of that salvation is the ongoing forgiveness He extends to us. He did not have to do that, yet He did. How can we not offer quick and total forgiveness from the heart to those who harm us in one way or another?

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.

Without Form and Void?
If we consider how homes are built in new residential neighborhoods, we gain insight into what it means to be without form and void. A builder/developer will come along and buy acreage. They already have a good idea of how they will develop that acreage and how many homes they will build on it. However, the process can take a few years to finalize depending on how many acres/homes are involved in that development.
