Hope Lies Beyond These Twisted Times

We’re closing in on the most seminal event of all human history and too few of us are ready for it. That is the return of Jesus Christ! After all that has happened it would take a blind person – one who is blind indeed – not to be able to connect the dots by now. Things are happening now that haven’t happened before. There is a degree of evil afoot all over the world, but especially here in the US, that is of greater and more profound malevolence than there ever has been. This proves beyond any reasonable doubt the enormity of [Revelation 12:12]: “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” The time is growing shorter by the day! We now live in a time when recognized governments – once in good standing – accept, indeed perpetrate the most heinous acts imaginable or befriend those who do. And they lie – they tell damnable lies about it all! God is about to act, and His vengeance will be a dreadful event for those who have rejected Jesus!

I’m old enough now to have lived through times of hope – almost innocence – where a man could get a decent job, buy a home and raise a family with all the accoutrements of living a decent life. Sure, there were shady dealings in our post WWII world, but they were kept mostly behind the scenes, giving the population at large a sort of plausible deniability so we didn’t feel wholly responsible for the evils of the world. We seldom considered the persecution our forefathers visited upon the American Indians largely because our media of the day disparaged them as bloodthirsty savages and we didn’t ever question that view. Our collective consciences were sufficiently clouded as to believe our time here was honorable. As long as we worked and paid our taxes we could build and maintain what we considered to be a respectable existence. Any dishonesty by the government was mostly kept hidden.

Along about the sixties things started to change. We were absolutely sure of a North Vietnamese torpedo attack on US ships in the Gulf of Tonkin and most of us therefore supported “retaliatory” measures by US armed forces. We also “knew” that Vietnam was the linchpin domino that would unleash communism on the whole world if it should fall to those commie rice farmers! Very few to none of us had any idea that the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) didn’t even have vessels that were capable of launching torpedoes at the time. Vietnam was the first conflict of my lifetime that our government lied us into, but back then when us proles had a modicum of confidence in what our media told us, it was really easy for Uncle Sammy to do. Since the heady days of our military action in Nam, we have slowly, bit by bit, learned that, thanks to institutions of deceit like the CIA, the US government writ large, is unquestionably the most dishonest operation the modern world has ever had the misfortune to tolerate. Lyndon Johnson lied to the whole country, even to the extent of having the techies of the day to take some video footage of torpedoes slicing white trails through the water but in reality, it was American ships performing target practice on ship hulks out in the water but the claim was that these were Vietnamese torpedoes being fired at American ships. Sure looked convincing back in the days when we still mostly trusted what they told us.

When the “hippie” movement started back in the sixties, the young folks – especially on college campuses – started a trend that forever changed our trust in what we later came to understand as government propaganda. Back then most of us didn’t even know what propaganda was, but thanks to the hippies – and the “Jesus Freaks” (more on them later) – an unfamiliar facet of our regard for what we were (and are) being sold by our government, a concept now widely known as TRUTH began to drip out into the public discourse. In the sixties, anyone with enough intestinal fortitude to dare challenge any narrative put out by the government through a compliant (oh, how compliant!) media, was asking for trouble, especially in the redneck southern communities. That part hasn’t changed much right up to today, but more and more “conservatives” are beginning to see the light. In my opinion, the events of 9/11 and the public reaction to the government narrative of it, probably revealed more than any other event up to that time about the mistrust of our government. After that seminal day in American history, many citizens were willing to actually revisit government narratives of other things, like the Kennedy assassination and events surrounding Pearl Harbor. Once people – complete with their own eyes and ears saw those big skyscrapers fall to the ground in an obvious controlled demolition, most of them (us) could no longer bear the burden of trust. The slow, steady drip of truth became a deluge! Once that genie was out of the bottle, sane folks realized that if they were willing to lie to us about an event of that magnitude, they were probably lying about a lot more things and the US government has never enjoyed the benefit of public trust since.

It seems like every event which has happened since – and including – 9/11 has become another focal point of the doubt of a government narrative. Nowadays instead of buying into the “official narrative” of any major event, be it a fake assassination “attempt” in Pennsylvania for photo ops, or the obvious lies about the real assassination of Charlie Kirk, everyone first examines things like, who benefits from this? Why did this happen at the time it did? Why was there a missing minute or two of the Epstein “suicide”? (This is a big one, because they’ve gone so far as to even suggest Trump had a hand in his beloved friend’s “death?” in order to sell the public on the notion that a valuable MOSSAD asset is actually dead. I do not believe for a nanosecond that with all the resources at the US government and MOSSAD’s disposal that they could not have busted him out of prison and put the cadaver of some unfortunate soul in his place, but that’s just me.) Again, there’s this truth thing that keeps threatening official narratives…

In Donald Trump the government of Satan has it’s greatest liar ever to breathe. Almost EVERY word that comes out of this man’s mouth is either a baldfaced lie or some statement that is predicated on a lie he has told earlier. I do not waste my precious time watching his speeches or any other occasion he exploits to spew his drivel. You learn absolutely nothing from his discourse except that there are actually human beings around with the capacity to tell so many despicable lies even in occasions when the truth would serve him better. Be it three-hundred-foot gashes in a pool liner (he doesn’t even have enough sensibility to realize the impossibility of that) or reducing prescription medicine prices by 600 percent, the inanity of his completely senseless diatribe is an absolute revelation of a psychopathic liar of the first order and Senate and Congressional Republicans should rightfully bear the responsibility for the damage he has caused and the allies he has estranged. Trump obviously cannot help himself but the congressional Republicans can and should stop him. It’s every bit their fault and as I have written before, I’m not a Democrat – I deplore them equally as profoundly as Republicans, it’s just that the Republicans are the ones stopping any action from being taken to relieve the country of Trump. They serve Satan and he won’t allow them to act even if they were brave enough to do so. Remember that when the mid-term vote comes due. Every one of them know Trump is an insane narcissist who might well destroy the country, but they are too afraid to confront this monster they have created!

Back to the days when the truth started coming out. There was a time, as mentioned, when US citizens largely trusted whatever we were told by our media. We had anchors on three networks that we never thought to question. Walter Cronkite was a folk hero. Who in the world were all these freaks with long hair running around protesting against our sacred war in Vietnam? I’ll break it to you – their credo was peace, love, flowers, and in many cases, Jesus. Now I don’t care what your issue is, nor where you stand on world events, if you honestly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you eventually win the battle. Sometimes it doesn’t happen right away, sometimes not even in this phase of our existence, but you are guaranteed to win the long game. Peace and love are attributes of following Jesus, and they are the absolute best iterations of human behavior. We do not, nor did we ever, need war on our world. Satan has created the conditions and attitudes necessary to cause human beings to hate, to kill. The “Jesus Freaks” of the sixties and seventies have grown old now. I am one – I can’t claim that I’ve always followed His teachings as I should have – nor can anyone else, although there are many who’ve been more faithful to Him than I have – but I wholeheartedly follow Him now!.

As a true Jesus Freak, I now feel the responsibility to pass along the hope that He has given me. Things are wrapping up in this phase, think about it. If you are reading this essay, know that Jesus Christ loves you with a profound love of such magnitude that He was willing to endure one of the most horrific deaths imaginable – just so He would be able to save your soul, the part inside you that counts. The part that will be around forever. He wants to be your eternal friend, your King. He said [John 14:6]: Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but by Me.” As far as this essay goes, that Truth part is worth a second consideration, especially as we practically drown in the sea of lies that Satan has put before us. You can really trust Jesus and in this world of lies and deceit, that’s a rare and amazing comfort. He gives our psyches blessed Spiritual lifts ever so often in this life, from His profound store of love, and it’s worth following Him just for those times! With the complete failure of an unbelieving mankind to effectively steward this wonderful world He gave us, it’s so passionately refreshing to know that our ultimate future will indeed be won – it already has been if we but follow our precious Savior – all the way to that wonderful mansion He has prepared for us (I can promise you that mansion is going to make Mentmore look pathetic). When that sinks in and you understand that Heaven is where you are headed, that Spiritual lift kicks in and the ills of the world are relegated as trivial indeed.

Get right with Jesus today. Ain’t much time left so don’t wait until it’s too late – my heart really hurts for those throngs of people who will have to depart from His face. Don’t be among them – become a Jesus Freak today – give Him the keys to your life and let Him drive – He can handle it!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
