For the regulars here on folkpotpourri, I’m sure y’all noticed my last post was somewhat different than the normal opinions and messaging that I normally post, so I’d like to clarify the intent and possibly expound on some of the things it said.

First of all, regulars will already know that the bulk of these articles are Spiritual in nature and yesterday’s post, although still Spiritual in tone, was somewhat of a departure from the norm. I believe that is because so many people seem to be adrift as to what is going on – otherwise well-intentioned people, especially believers are having problems focusing on their proper spiritual direction. Many are being told by purported teachers and pastors that they have a spiritual obligation to follow them in the wrong direction. If the post seemed a bit strongly worded, I think it’s probably because I tend to get somewhat passionate about watching folks seeming to envy the rich and/or follow the wrong leaders. I attempted to post about the fallacy of listening to false prophets and/or media sources that gloss over real and damnable issues – many of which I pointed out – that are happening in this world.

Wealthy people who own most of the traditional media sources and shyster preachers out to make a buck are pointing many otherwise decent people in the wrong direction – the Bible told us this would happen in the last days. I spend a lot of time and effort trying to get folks to use the Word of God to calibrate their Spiritual bearings using the Bible and stop listening to those who are corrupted by the wealth of the world. The apostle Paul warns us that this will happen: [2 Timothy 4:3]: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers… So from this we are warned to discern the types of people to whom we listen. A key point is that folks listen to these types because they want to. Just like taking the mark of the beast, this behavior is voluntary.

Another point the previous post attempted to get across was exactly who Satan has chosen to do his bidding in these last days. Of course, there are many servants of evil out there doing his work, but it doesn’t take a genius to see the people who control the wealth of the world. When Satan took Jesus up on the mountain and offered Him kingship of the whole world, [Matthew 4:8-10]:”Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, ^“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” so the Lord turned him down, but it would seem that Satan has taken lesser men up there and they didn’t refuse his offer.

So here we are, a select group of wealthy people who support each other in their service to evil have gained control of the nations. From this group one will emerge to rule for a while. For reasons we do not yet fully understand (but reasons that are becoming more and more obvious), he chose people who call themselves God’s chosen people. The problem is, and I’ve seen this – we see it constantly – there are several false prophets who have a surprising number of “Christians” who now believe that in order to serve God, they must support these people, and that is just wrong! They have invented names like “Judeo Christian” and “Christian Zionist” to make their blasphemy a little more palatable, but for folks who read their Bibles, they understand the ruse.

Some of my posts, like yesterday’s, are written to attempt to show folks who seriously wish to serve God that they are being seriously deceived, and from whence that deception is coming. I am not a racist, God knows my heart. Nor do I discriminate against any ethnicity, I merely attempt to point out that where there’s so much smoke, there has to be a fire. It’s no big secret which ethos of society controls the majority of the world’s wealth. These folks spend a lot of time in evil machinations that are solely purposed to deceive, and the Gospels of the Bible are rapt with warnings of what liars Satan and his followers are – the more dedicated to Satan they are, the greater their deceptions: [John 8:44] “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Jesus was addressing the Jews – the ones we would call Zionists today.

Before you get angry with those people, remember what Jesus told us. He warned us against hating, we must pray for them and trust Jesus to bring justice. When He returns, folks don’t have any notion of how great the paradigm shift will become. The wealthiest billionaires will suddenly become the most piteous entities in all of humanity. They will beg and plead for mercy, but the mercy they receive will be commensurate with the mercy they showed others: [Matthew 5:7]: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”

Whatever you do, avoid envy of these people – remember, they are those who Satan took up on the mountain, and they failed the test. They have accepted a few short years of high living, adultery, lies, and murder for an eternity of joy and peace so intense we cannot even imagine what it’s going to be like. Of all the multitudes of humanity who have ever graced the earth, they are to be pitied most on that Day. Rich men don’t spend any time at all thinking about their forbears, think about guys like Sheldon Adelson, Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney – they had their party, now it’ll be time to face God’s justice. Not judging them, they may have made peace with God before their end, but as far as life on this earth goes, it was the end. No more pomp and pageantry, no more adulation from envious people, just the face of an angry God Almighty who can condemn their souls to eternal damnation.

So to emphasize the undercurrent of this post, as of the other one yesterday, I was in no way advocating hatred, I was pointing out the error of following or supporting the wrong people, regardless of what some millionaire preacher might say to the contrary. My intent, as always, was and is to encourage folks to stay on top of their Spiritual beliefs, don’t get pointed in the wrong direction, and don’t necessarily believe anyone who claims they are God’s chosen people. By reading your own Bible, you can tell who God’s people are and those who have rejected His Son are not among them! But don’t hate on anybody – that’s exactly the wrong thing to do, as bad as supporting them. We must pray for them.

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