The outside air got down into the forties last night and there’s heavy dew on everything out there. I guess that’s a good thing since it’s been a while since we’ve had any rain to speak of and heavy dew is better than no moisture at all. I replanted cucumbers back in August because there was some kind of blight on my spring-planted ones and they didn’t do very good. That’s the first time that ever happened to my garden, but this late crop seems to be getting the same disease. God only knows what all is going on in this old world of ours these days. No September rains to crow about. So far, no October rains.
The world has been teetering on the edge of all-out war for several months now and although it would be devastating, I don’t think a big war would surprise anyone. Before I swore off and departed from the Lord of the Rings cult, I remember as the armies of Sauron were being arrayed against Gondor, the character Gandalf saying something to the effect of the board being set and the pieces are moving, and it sure seems like that’s what’s going on.
Russia looks to be providing both Venezuela and Iran with some new and improved fighter jets and Iran has been talking about some new and better missiles for their expected confrontation with Israel. China is still making many strategic moves in what looks to be preparation for conflict with the west. The dollar is losing ground everywhere as gold becomes increasingly valuable. The wealthy folks have been digging bunkers and supplying them for what might be a long stay underground. Blessed are the peacemakers…
There’s constant talk of a big part of war preparations being the “continuity of government”, but to be honest, I haven’t seen much government activity that might need to be continued – even in a calamity. From what we’ve experienced that passes for US government lately, I’d vote that continuity of government would be among the last things we would want or need in a seriously bad situation. Unless of course, provisions are being made that might allow our Commander in Chief to keep methods of informing the public of what a great and historical figure he is. What a comfort to know that in the face of possible global annihilation we have wise and stalwart figures to conduct war operations! Oh well, whether or not a world war might be survivable, or whether or not one might even want to survive after one is for smarter folks than me to figure out.
Before anyone gets their panties in a wad over me being critical of our leaders, I’m aware that the Bible says that God puts them in their positions of power. Through the epistles we are taught to follow them and obey their edicts, but we are also given a Spirit of discernment that allows us to see when leaders stray from God’s ordinances and through the exercise of that discernment, we are able to make the call of when to not follow them anymore, for instance, it’s not possible to obey the commandments of Jesus to love our neighbors while supporting genocide and starvation of children. No matter how the “Christian Zionists” try to twist the scriptures.
Jesus warned us there is a narrow gate that leads into His kingdom. He delivered most of His opprobrium to the Jewish leaders of His time. When they rejected Him and His teachings they incurred a curse upon themselves. As Jesus was about to be crucified, Pontius Pilate, the Roman leader of the area tried to dissuade the Jewish synagogue leaders and the mob they had gathered from crucifying Jesus by telling them he didn’t want Jesus’s blood on his hands, but they said [Matthew 27:25]: “And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Let that sink in for a minute. This might just be the statement that brought on the curse that the Jews have had upon them ever since! They have a very checkered history of being hated and persecuted all down through the years by every nation where they went, and it does indeed seem like they have been a cursed people since Jesus’ time. The behavior of the cruel and barbaric people in today’s Israel is now on open display for folks who think they’re just ordinary people and maybe it’s unfair that the world has hated them.
The astute reader already knows this theory doesn’t take into account that according to Jesus statements [Revelation 2:9]: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.“, the people who call themselves Jews in these last days aren’t really Jews, so how could a curse intended for the Jews be upon them? I have written on this in other posts and it seems that a lot of people have been able to connect the dots that these people are from Eastern European descent and aren’t Jews at all. That would seem to make that curse above not even apply to them, but if these imposters are taking the identity of the Jews, then it would seem that they are taking the curse(s) that go along with that (stolen) identity. That would mean His (Jesus’) blood is on them now.
Satan, due to his seething hatred of Jesus, has devised a plan that has obviously led to those very people getting the wealth of the world concentrated into their hands so as to take control of the world through such malfeasance as bribery and/or threats. Everyone can plainly see them playing American politicians like puppets. European leaders too. It seems as though the only ones who can’t see through the charade are the politicians themselves. Zionists have so thoroughly taken control of all US government and its institutions that it would be a seemingly impossible task to take the country back from them, and it could never be done without bloodshed, so that leaves Christians with little to do but pray for our situation. We should however, never for a moment assume these folks are our allies. Regardless of what some of the false pastors in America tell their flocks, the Zionists, who work directly for Satan, are the enemies of Christianity. If you, the reader, find yourself among those who believe they should “support Israel” and its genocidal depravity, you need to break out your Bible and read it. If you claim to believe in Jesus, then take a good look at what He says about the “blasphemy” of the fake Jews!
Jesus made His message very simple; it’s people that try to complicate it. If you would leave this life victorious and prepared for the afterlife, you should repent of all the wrongdoing you have been involved in and ask Him for forgiveness. He has promised to do just that – He will forgive you. Don’t start out by trying to convince yourself that you haven’t sinned, because you have; we all have. [Romans 3:23]: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” We all have blood of some kind on our hands, we suffer from a malady known as being human. Jesus Christ, the founder and Shepherd of the Christian religion, loves us all deeply. None of us are smart enough to understand why He loves us – we certainly haven’t done anything to deserve it, but it’s not about us or what we have or haven’t done. It’s about Him and who He is. It’s also about His unfathomable love. He is less interested in what we do or don’t do – He is interested in who we are. What kind of person are you capable of becoming in His service?
If you are a Jewish person, remember Jesus in His human form was a Jew of the lineage of King David, who might have been the greatest human leader in history. Jesus was of your own ancestry. If you are Moslem, your Koran speaks of Jesus as a great prophet and even predicts His return to bring justice to the earth, but He was so much more than a prophet! It’s not a great leap to connect the dots from where Islam considers Jesus to be to where He actually is. Investigate the Christian religion and see what it says. He is your savior too – He died for you. The faith of the Islamic people is very obvious to the world with your calls to prayer and service to Allah, who we Christians speak of as our God also. Other members of world religions have come to realize that Jesus Christ is the only true way to God and the afterlife He promises.
We are closing in on the last days of this age. Things are getting desperate and the end is nigh upon us. There will be some horrible events in our near future, and it’s incumbent on each of us to prepare ourselves for the other side of that great dark cloud that’s approaching. Jesus said [John 14:6]: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Prophets never lied, so if you accept Jesus as a prophet, then you have to ask yourself why He would say that if it wasn’t true? Make sense? He didn’t say, “I am a way,” He said THE way! The only way.
Our final and consummate victory lies beyond that darkness and fear, in fact, when you get yourself right with Jesus and hand Him the keys – stop trying to drive yourself, you’re not capable – you’ll find the fear going away more and more. That’s how it should be, because fear is the greatest weapon of the enemy. Fear and hatred, which is something we must strive to get out of our hearts! There’s no room for hatred in the hearts of good people. We learn hatred from the enemy and those who are led by the enemy and it’s something we can easily discard. Most folks with hate in their hearts have it there because they want it there – that’s where the sin comes in – we hate because we want to hate, otherwise we could love one another as Jesus commanded us to.
An issue of concern to a lot of folks these days has to do with the mark of the beast that we will face at some point. No one really knows what it is nor how it will be taken, but we are told it will have to do with some antiChrist and part of it will involve worshiping him. No Christian will take it. In my humble opinion, one of the greatest verses in the whole Bible is the song the folks who will be victorious over the mark of the beast will sing – all Christians should memorize it, because one day soon, we’ll be singing it – we need to know the words, [Revelation 15:3,4]:
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
Might just be the greatest victory song that ever will have been sung!
I hope this post has reached the hearts of the reader. I’ve tried to touch on some things that seem to be of concern to lots of folks around this old world, and maybe it’ll help clear up some of the confusion people are facing. If you haven’t yet called on Him, give Jesus your life, He can be trusted to the end! Jesus is THE Way! Always remember that and it will help you stay focused in this deteriorating world. Much love.
May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
