Christian Deconstructionism
GotQuestions dot org[1] notes that “Deconstruction” is the heading most recently applied to the process of questioning, doubting, and ultimately rejecting aspects of Christian faith.”[1] Rather than walking away from Christianity, many of these folks start openly doubting aspects of what they have always held to be true, while remaining in their positions of authority. It’s all done with an air of compassion, honesty and questioning so as not to trigger a mass rejection of their newfound doubting.
What Can Happen to Society, Pt 2
Let’s go back to realize something Gideon did not. The reason it appeared to Gideon that the Lord had forsaken Israel is simply due to the fact that Israel had forsaken the LORD. I find it fascinating that God did not directly respond to Gideon’s question, but simply tells him to go and save Israel from her oppressor, Midian.
What Can Happen to Society, Pt 1
Though Israel endeavored to follow this judge or that judge’s leadership, as soon as that judge died, the people of Israel reverted back to their former ways and began again to worship foreign gods (v19). It is amazing to me that God continued to put up with that and if not for His unconditional covenant with Israel, He would have completely wiped that nation off the face of the earth. He did not do that though He often destroyed many within Israel because of how they rejected Him continually.
How Things are Going
I’ve said this before and it bears repeating. I knew that the Left would try everything they could to stop Trump from doing what he could to make America great again. I’m not an idiot and neither are you. We know that whatever Trump accomplishes will only be due to God’s allowing him to accomplish it. However, Satan doesn’t give up. He doesn’t need a break, nor does he even stop when he knows he’s losing. He keeps on going, doing whatever he can to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
Too Much Evil to Fix
By the time the coming Tribulation begins, I’m guessing that much of the human population on earth will be either demonized outwardly or fully possessed. Demons seem to be coming out of the woodwork in preparation for what is coming to this earth. However, during the Tribulation, they actually do come out of the woodwork in several of the judgments God pours out on the earth.
Zechariah 12: Deliverance of Judah
In truth, it is not just that Israel rejected the Good Shepherd, but that Israel then embraced/will embrace Worthless Shepherds throughout her history and will do so a final time in the future! This recounts the events of the Messiah’s first advent and death, followed by the destruction and dissolution of Jerusalem and Israel as a nation in AD 70.
Too Preposterous to Be True?
Understanding what Satan is attempting to accomplish and will be allowed to accomplish through those sold out to him, sets us free from the worry that fear can create. We are not meant to live forever in this life. The fact that God physically expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden so that they could not eat of the tree of life after sinning proves that He doesn’t want us to live eternally in this life, in our sin. We will all pass from this life to the next and as Christians will be given immortal bodies forever free from sin. It will be then that we will live forever as He originally intended.
Technocratic Depravity
Unfortunately, this push for the USA’s involvement appears simply meant to break our economy and destroy our power. The EU wants to be top dog, according to Martin Armstrong. They ultimately want to bring back the old Roman Empire in a newer form so that they can usher in the type of truly global government they want to exist.
Zechariah 11: Israel’s Sin and Punishment
Zechariah 11 deals with the problems that Israel would face. The prophet was speaking a hundreds of years before Roman armies surrounded and sacked Jerusalem, but his words came to fulfillment. While many conservative commentators believe there was partial fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecies in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem (AD 70), the full and final aspect of this fulfillment will not occur until the coming Tribulation period of seven years, leading up to the physical return of Jesus to this planet.
Keeping Perspective
If you add to this the number of times Trump has already said he thinks he can have a third term as President under some past obscure act and it’s easy to see how things might fall in place. Things like this tend to keep people distracted and on edge. Those who love Trump beyond measure would love a third term, while those who hate him, don’t even want this current term. At some point, it seems best for me to just let things like this go so that it does not become all-consuming.
