The System
There appears to be a very intricate invisible system created by Satan to gain control of humanity and use humanity to overthrow God. This has always been Satan’s plan and I believe it’s why he first went after Adam and Eve, not only to make them fall, but to enslave them and use their progeny to attack God. Satan uses people, though he hates us with a strong passion, to do what he can to bring about a coup de gras to destroy and replace God. This is what Satan’s entire plan is all about in a nutshell. It has taken him this long to get the world to this point from the failed Tower of Babel but we appear to be here once again.
Shocked to the Core!
What will the demeanor of the unsaved be as they stand before God in judgment? Will they hate God? Will they resist Him still or will the truth cause humility before Him? Will they grudgingly acknowledge Him as Lord of All?
How will understanding this subject cause Christians to be better witnesses of His love to the lost in order that their eyes might open in this life and embrace the only salvation that is available?
WHO’s Kidding Whom?
Does anyone actually believe God will allow Jewish people to be utterly destroyed? Satan tried that in the book of Esther. He has tried it many times since and even in the modern times, he used Hitler to rid the world of God’s chosen people. It has never succeeded. Satan knows that if he can successfully destroy every last Jewish person, then who would go into the Millennial Kingdom to fully inherit all the promises directed to Israel that God originally gave to Abraham?
An Eternal Unfulfilled Longing
Consider this please. God made all of Creation including all human beings to reflect His intended purposes. He made all things for His glory, which means in part that our lives should always glorify Him in thought, word and deed. This is how we were made and this is how Adam and Eve lived until their fall. In fact, it’s how Lucifer/Satan lived until his fall as well.
Sin blinded us to the main purpose of our life here. Instead of living lives that bring glory to God continually (as authentic Christians will do in eternity with Him), sin makes us believe lies, causing us to think that God is there for us, to make our lives happy and complete. The problem is that He most certainly wants us to be fulfilled according to His will, but that only comes when we do things His way starting with receiving His salvation. Since He created us to glorify Him and we often don’t, we are ruined. We don’t glorify Him because we are blinded to the fact that this was our supreme purpose in being created in the first place.
Raised for His Glory
In 2011, I published a book titled, Raised for His Glory.[1] I did so because of the rise of Dominionism, Kingdom Now and Replacement Theology, which was gaining support. In all these versions, the Church replaces Israel and the belief is that God is completely done with Israel. Many of those within these camps do not necessarily believe in a literal 1,000 year reign of Jesus (The Millennial Kingdom), after His physical return to this earth. In fact, some do not believe Jesus will physically return to this earth but that He is reigning now. These people do not understand why Jesus must return physically to this earth. Satan knows and has deceived them.
They Want You Enslaved or Dead
Lift up your eyes. While I believe it is good to know what satanic globalists are attempting to accomplish throughout this world, our focus should be on God and what He is doing. This goes a long way in relieving the pressure and frustration from the type of things happening in the world that can potentially negatively impact us. Focusing on those things can also cause us to become worried and even take our eyes off the Great Commission of Matthew 18.
We are here for a purpose and it is to bring glory to God. By shifting our gaze to Him and His purposes, the things that Satan is doing will be noted but will not overcome us.
Daniel 11 Part One
Let’s stop here and remind ourselves that all of this was completely new to the prophet Daniel because all of it was in Daniel’s near future, compared to the latter half of Daniel 11, which speaks of events that will occur at the end of this age. All of this proves that God and only God knows the future because He determines it. He doesn’t have to go against people’s free will to get His will done. All He needs to do is find someone who is predisposed to go in a certain direction and use that person to accomplish what He will accomplish.
Lies for Profit and Control
This is exactly how Satan works. He traffics in lies in order to accomplish his will. He has always – since his fall – trafficked in lies and he will continue using lies until he is himself thrown into the Lake of Fire by Jesus. It is no wonder that Satan’s followers also traffic in lies. The apple never falls far from the tree.
Daniel 10 Part 2
I believe we are now living in the days Daniel and other prophets saw occurring far down the road from their perspective. Because of what is occurring today as God’s prophetic calendar unfolds, as noted it can be a bit unnerving as we try to remain strongly anchored to God in spite of everything that is now happening. The difficulty for the Christian during these times, is to continue persevering in God’s will in spite of the “tornadic” spiritual activity all around us. Because all of it has been previously revealed in His Word, we have no excuse to not understand it. It should prompt us to fall on His mercy and understand that His purposes will be accomplished. During the process, He will not ignore His own who humble themselves before Him and continue to seek His will daily.
God has done us a tremendous supernatural favor by taking the time to stoop and reveal His future will to us. He has done this over the centuries through numerous prophets, including Daniel. To ignore the writings of these godly men is to suffer for it. Forewarned is forearmed.
Israel’s Real Need
So, while Israel is starting to show signs that it is learning to rely on itself (and will eventually and ultimately come to rely on God alone), more headway needs to be made clearly. In essence, it seems clear that God’s plan is to put Israel on one side of the aisle completely alone and ultimately vulnerable, while all other nations actively stand against Israel (or don’t care and won’t help Israel). Why? Because it will force Israel to come to her knees before God, to learn to depend solely and only on God Almighty, the very Creator of Israel.
