Revelation 18 Part 3
Revelation 18 and 19 teach us because God is holy, righteous, perfect in judgment, the world will reap the consequences of their sin and denial of God. As Christians, we need to practice living lives that reflect our fear of offending God, the only wise God, the only God. We must design our lives so that our love for God and our growing fear of offending Him by sinning would take over our lives allowing us to live the way He wants us to live, so that He and He alone is glorified. We must decrease and He must increase. We cannot love or fear offending Him enough in this life. We can simply submit to Him and endeavor to live the way He would have us live.
News and Notes for June 12, 2023
Daily, I read of folks – young, old and very young – who are simply dying. The response from medical community is “Gee, we are simply baffled.” Mark my words folks. When the numbers of sudden deaths increase to the point where they won’t be able to hide it any longer, they will use those numbers to scare society into believing that another “pandemic” is upon us. They will turn a deaf ear to anyone who asks about whether or not the excess deaths are representative of the vaxxed or unvaxxed communities. In fact, those folks who dare ask that question will be emotionally and verbally eviscerated into silence and then censored and banned. There are things you are not allowed to ask today.
Burning It Down with Lies
People are walking through life blind to what Satan is creating and we know his house is built on lies because that’s his native tongue (John 8:44). I guess this should not surprise me, but it still does. According to Scripture, there will come a time in global society where the world will become one ideologically and religiously, which means a cooperative global turning away from God and His truth to deliberately embrace satanic error (2 Thess 2:11; 2 Timothy 4:3).
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 2
All of the above takes time. It cannot occur in one event on the timeline. I don’t know where we are in the process because I cannot see behind the scenes in the spiritual realm and no one else can either. Like everyone else, we are left to try to look at conditions in the world and determine if the Bible speaks to those things. Beyond this, I don’t even know if Antichrist has been born yet because I have no idea who he is though I believe he has but in this case, belief is not fact. If he has, then we are somewhere on that timeline above. But again, the question is what exactly does the first seal reference?
Is It All a Dream?
All of this unleashed a firestorm of criticism by the vaccinated toward the unvaxxed as seen in the video snippets above. Sadly, many of those vocally condemning the unvaxxed are now dead, because of severe adverse reactions, cancer or a “medical emergency” (a new term that has been normalized since the rollout of the CV jab). There are stories after stories on various Telegram channels (Died Suddenly News, COVID Vaccine News, COVID Vaccine Injuries, and others), highlighting one person after another – the very young to older – who have died from what are being called “turbo cancers,” strokes, or heart attacks.
Revelation 18 Part 2
In this section, Babylon is destroyed and the kings of the earth (likely politicians, since the 7 remaining kings along with Antichrist turn on the “whore” of Babylon and destroy her). So the important people who gained fortunes from their involvement with Babylon “weep and mourn” over the loss. They are in anguish over the fact that their ability to enrich themselves is gone. That’s what they are grieved about. They bemoan the death of Babylon – such a “great” and “mighty city” that is now gone, in a heap of destruction.
Times of Trouble, May 29th
There are many examples of how God chose specific people in Scripture for specific purposes at specific times. You and I are here on this earth now because God has willed it. He has important work for you and me to accomplish. We do it by relying on His strength and direction and by remaining free of the world’s stain. As we trust Him, He opens doors for greater work. We cannot shrink from the times in which we currently live. Yes, it may be tiring and frustrating but God should guide us, not the world.
Just Avoid It
It’s so obvious but often so hard to see truth because people spend so much time trying to wade through how they feel about something. If it’s based on feelings, we do not need God’s Word. Spiritual Formation encourages that. Avoid Spiritual Formation at all costs.
When?
Strangely, I’m at peace over this and it probably has to do with the fact that things have progressed too far along to go back. We cannot overturn what God has said will occur and is going to allow. While we might not like it, we cannot overthrow it and why should we want to if God has determined it? It reminds me of the time Babylon’s Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah/Jerusalem and took captives back to his Babylonian Kingdom (2 Kings 25). If you’ll recall, through mainly Jeremiah at the time, God specifically told those in Judah that they should not resist and should simply go to Babylon into captivity. They should also seek peace in Babylon during their captivity so that they would have peaceful lives while there. God promised to release them from that captivity after 70 years, which meant a new generation would go back to Judah. Interestingly enough, there were false prophets in Judah who said God would provide the victory over Nebuchadnezzar in a short time, not 70 years. There are many false prophets today who tell us good things about what’s coming (including a major revival). Ignore them. God will deal with them.
