God’s Greatest Restraint

Despite all the wickedness across America and the world, God the Holy Spirit continues remarkable Restraint as Paul the apostle foretold.

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only [the Holy Spirit] who now [Restrains] will [Restrain], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked [Antichrist] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him [Antichrist,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thes:7-10).

New World Order architects are nearing the precipice of bringing into being the Antichrist regime Satan has long sought to inflict upon humanity. They have employed the fear factor of a worldwide pandemic with the COVID scare. They have convinced governments of the Western world like those of Canada, Australia, and, yes, the United States of America, to put into place things to bring their populaces into compliance with bizarre implementations which in just the recent past would be considered insane. Like, for example, the Biden administration’s declaration that the day we celebrate Resurrection Day this year to be the Transgender Day of Visibility.

This wicked declaration brought the following response from Franklin Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham.

“On the most significant day of the Christian calendar, when the Church around the world celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died and shed His blood for the sins of mankind, the Biden administration uses this opportunity to flaunt sin, to glorify sin, and to celebrate sin.

“The Bible says, ‘…they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!’ (Isaiah 3:9). Judgment is coming,” he added. “Instead of celebrating sin, we need to confess our sins, repent of our sins, and ask for God’s forgiveness.”

The all-out assault on morality has, for certain, had its deleterious effects. Our public school systems, in considerable measure, put in front of our children the so-called “wokeness,” which defies God’s Divine order in the matter of the trans-movement and in other absolute reprobate ways that reflect where this generation stands in relationship to Romans 1:28.

The Holy Spirit continues to restrain such assaults by Satan and his minions, both demonic and human –the evil forces described in Ephesians 6:12. Those who observe these late prophetic times as Watchmen on the wall see the Psalms chapter 2 derision God is sending upon the Ephesians 6:12 minions. These New World Order builders, despite their Great Reset and Build Back better efforts, can’t complete their Satan-inspired blueprint construction this side of the Rapture of the Church. The Holy Spirit, Resident within all believers, continues to Restrain.

That said, it is not this Restraint against the satanic evil of which I write in thinking upon presenting this commentary. The absolutely remarkable Restraint to which I refer involves God’s unfathomable Mercy.

The God Who Created all there is –Who Holds in His Mighty Hand the very matter of which all things consist, hasn’t completely destroyed the anti-God rebellion that is constantly thrown in His Holy Face. This is truly remarkable Restraint!

Jesus Himself spoke of His Father’s unfathomable Mercy and restraint. When He was being horribly abused by those who were about to crucify Him, He said that He, Jesus, could Speak the Word and His Father would send legions of angels to save Him. That God the Father hasn’t completely destroyed all of this fallen world system is beyond human understanding.

I, as father of sons, can’t imagine the Restraint the Heavenly Father exercised at that most crucial Moment in human history. I couldn’t, like Abraham, be obedient in offering up my son for sacrifice. I just haven’t that degree of faith –although I sure wish I did have the kind of Faith that can remove mountains. I have to be honest and say I just couldn’t let the evil forces of this world come against one of my children without bringing all I could muster to stop them.

Our God, however, has within His Holy Person the ability to Invoke Mercy, through His Restraint, that is… well… unfathomable.

Nonetheless, there is a sense among those who “Watch” as commanded in Mark 13:37, that God’s Restraint based within His great Mercy is very near Its Limits. This Age of Grace (Church Age) is about to end, and the age that will be marked by His terrible Judgment and Wrath is about to begin.

The Rapture of the Church will be Heaven’s Demarcation that will bring about God’s Dealing with the likes of absolute evil and wickedness to which this world has come. Jesus said it will be the worst time of all human history (Matthew 24:21).

You don’t want to be part of those left on this Judgment-bound earth when Christ Calls God’s people to be with Him in the Clouds of Glory.

Here is how to be certain that you will go to Jesus when He Calls.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

Depraved Minds and the Fulfilling of Jesus’ Prophecy

Perhaps the most frightful sign of the last days comes from the lips of Jesus Himself. In Matthew 24:21-22, Jesus spoke these words regarding the last three and a half years of the Tribulation:

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”

It’s been almost two thousand years since Jesus said humanity would face extinction apart from His timely return to the earth at the end of the Tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31), and today, we see more clearly than ever how this might happen. We understand how the wars, famines, and judgments of God will contribute to this terrible death toll.

The other factor will be the antichrist. In preparation for his arrival, Satan is even now leading people down a path to accept the killing of a multitude of believers and Jews, especially during the last half of the Tribulation.

The Roman Road to Depraved Minds

Many of us are familiar with the “Roman road to salvation,” which uses verses from the book to present the Gospel. There’s another much different highway that I refer to as “the Romans 1 road to depraved minds.” What makes today different from Paul’s day is the widespread popularity of this road, especially among those in authority, elected and otherwise.

The downward journey to a depraved mind begins with the refusal to acknowledge God, His attributes, and His eternal power (Romans 1:18-27). This downward trek, according to Romans 1:28, leads to futility in thinking that ends with the Lord giving them up to a “debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” The word in the Greek, adokimos, applies to something, such as a metal that doesn’t endure testing, thus proving to be unfit, or “reprobate,” as the King James Version translates it.

What happens to those with depraved minds that “fail the test?” They become incapable of making morally sound decisions and, in most cases, even rationally sound ones:

“They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them” (Romans 1:29-32).

We live in a culture dominated by those who have successfully traversed down the Romans 1 road to a “reprobate mind.”

If there’s a spokesman for this brutal and murderous group, it would be author and World Economic Forum (WEF) advisor Noah Yuval Harari. He repeatedly declares that the majority of humans on planet Earth are “useless eaters.” As such, he advocates a significant reduction in the world’s population. A report on the Natural News website sums up all that I have read and heard from this prophet of death.

Harari talks about “useless human beings” who do not have meaning or purpose. He said the greatest fake news is the Bible. He said Christianity is wrong, that humans are here on Earth for “nothing.” “Jesus Christ is fake news,” be balked. He believes there is “no great cosmic plan” that humans have a role to play in. Instead, he views humans as “useless eaters” who can be hacked and manipulated using digital surveillance under their skin.

He also believes in culling the population. “What do we need so many humans for?” he is quoted as saying while promoting his latest book.

An Example of Reprobate Thinking

If there’s an arena today where we see numerous examples of “reprobate” thinking, it’s among the climate alarmists of our day.

John Kerry, who until recently was the “climate czar” for the Biden administration, is the best example of those who tell us that we must eliminate fossil fuels in order to save the environment. Can you imagine the impact this would have on farming?

The high death toll that would surely result from such a policy has not stopped globalists from advocating a disastrous reduction in planting and harvesting crops as a necessary step in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. The call to kill millions of cattle in the name of “saving the planet” is a clear result of reprobate thinking that would lead to the starvation of multitudes.

The phrase “fossil fuels” itself is bogus. John Rockefeller coined this term a century ago so he could sell his oil and gas at higher prices due to its alleged scarcity.

Experts estimate that the natural gas reserves off the coast of Israel exceed a trillion cubic feet in just one location! The amount of oil consumed in one day alone throughout the world requires an astronomically high number of prehistoric animals to generate. These sources of energy are most certainly NOT “fossil fuels.” It’s utterly impossible for decaying dinosaurs to account for gigantic deposits of oil, natural gas, and coal that are present in our world.

The Lord provided these rich reservoirs to sustain the earth’s current large population. Without these fuels, billions would die of starvation. Used properly, they do not harm the environment nor do they raise temperatures to unsafe levels.

Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels, in a panel discussion on “Climate Myths” moderated by John Stossel, said:

It’s warmed up around 1 degree Celsius since 1900, and life expectancy doubled in the industrialized democracies! Yet that temperature ticks up another half a degree and the entire system crashes? That’s the most absurd belief! . . . Eliminating all fossil fuels would reduce the average earth temperature by .14 degrees Celsius. That’s a very small change for putting humanity back in the Stone Age.

The Apostle John wrote that the “spirit of the antichrist” was already active in his day (1 John 4:3). How much more do we already see this in the promotion of policies that would kill billions of people if fully implemented? These things come from depraved minds given over to the influence of our enemy.

That’s the downside of seeing Jesus’ words come to life in our present day. For us, it indicates that the Rapture is ever so close. Never before have New Testament saints witnessed so many things that point to the soon arrival of the Tribulation period.

Withstanding Evil Days

Head topic: As of this writing (Sat., April 13), Iran launched over 100 drones, heading toward Israel, its first-ever direct attack against Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed it launched dozens of drones and missiles against specific targets in Israel. Israel’s Air Force was tracking the drones and preparing for additional waves of attacks, which may include missiles. Channel 12 news reported US and British warplanes have downed some Iranian drones over the Iraq-Syria border area, without citing sources. Syria also put on high alert its Russian-made ground-to-air defense systems around its capital Damascus and major bases in the event of an Israeli strike. Iran’s Defense Minister threatened a firm response to any country that “opens its airspace or territory for attacks on Iran by Israel.”

Update night of April 13: Massive Drone and Missile Barrage from Iran Against Israel. Iran’s Islamic Regime sent hundreds of drones laden with explosives from its territory toward Israel as and at least one hypersonic cruise missile. While many are expected be knocked down, some drones and missiles are expected to get through Israel’s air defense systems. Air raid sirens were sounding throughout Israel in response to drones and missiles launched by Iran. There are also reports of missiles fired by Hezbollah and more drones sent by Houthis in Yemen.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Top Democrats Make Unprecedented Statements Against Israel, Signaling Party Shift. A growing number of prominent US Democrats made statements calling to condition Washington’s military aid to Israel, even suggesting Israel is committing genocide.

Evil Walks Among Us. The Democrat Party doesn’t see the Devil on their shoulders, whispering in their ears. Whether it’s killing the most vulnerable among us (the unborn), allowing an invasion of our nation, or many other proofs that America is losing the fight against evil, we must prepare for the worst and get right with God.

National Public Radio exposed from the inside. “An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR; now we don’t have an audience that reflects America. NPR purports to consider all things; however, around the time of President Trump’s first term, there was a shift away from reporting unbiased information to blatant attempts at influencing readers and listeners about “what they should think.”

AND THEIR TOTALITARIAN GLOBAL GOVERNMENT AGENDA

Western taxpayers funding global rollout of controligarchs’ surveillance and control system. Dozens of national governments are collaborating on a global initiative to implement “digital public infrastructure” within 5 years – enabling total surveillance and control of people. The program is guided by the UN and various elitists and funded by US and European taxpayers.

AND DELIBERATE PITTING OF NATION (ETHNIC) AGAINST NATION (ETHNIC)

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE

Chickens and cattle hit with massive bird flu outbreak. Will food prices go up?

ECONOMIC AND FOOD INSECURITY

Americans Get Emotional As U.S. Economy Goes Off The Rails. CNN is actually admitting “long-predicted storm clouds in the economy may actually be forming.” It’s becoming extremely difficult for mainstream media to avoid the truth. Inflation is getting worse while many key sectors of our economy are slowing down.

WEATHER EVENTS

Severe storms unleash tornadoes and extreme floods across Texas and Louisiana. A severe weather outbreak hit the Gulf Coast and lower Mississippi Valley on April 10, with tornadoes, heavy rains, and high wind gusts. The storms caused at least one fatality in Mississippi and widespread destruction, including in New Orleans, which faced a Flash Flood Emergency. Investigations suggest the event might qualify as a serial derecho — a significant meteorological phenomenon. 14 confirmed tornadoes from Texas to Florida amid severe storm warnings.

Widespread record floods hit parts of Russia, flooding over 10,500 homes, causing at least three deaths. In Kazakhstan, two fatalities and nearly 75,000 displacements have been reported.

Historic drought impacting over 1 million ha (2.5 million acres) of crops in Zambia. The unprecedented drought prompted by El Niño, resulted in the driest February recorded since 1981. There are widespread shortages in essential resources, including food and water.

Hundreds rescued from Australia flooding as government declares natural disaster. The eastern state of New South Wales was lashed by nearly a month’s worth of rainfall within 24 hours.

EARTHQUAKE EVENTS

The famous faultline running north to south of California will soon be due for a tremor. Given that the fault on California’s west coast runs close to cities including LA, San Diego, and San Francisco, a big quake could have a major impact.

One of the Main Points of the Eclipse – The giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone, but few are talking about it. Also, a mini-swarm of 5 quakes hit the New Madrid, Missouri, area days before Monday’s historic total solar eclipse crossed that region. Someday, an apocalyptic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone will permanently alter U.S. geography. But dividing Israel comes first, something Biden’s regime seems determined to do.

STRANGE COINCIDENCES… OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Is America’s Critical Infrastructure Under Attack? Someone commented, “Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action” – with that near-miss of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York joining the Key Bridge in Baltimore taken down, and the barge striking the bridge spanning the Arkansas River, causing officials to close the bridge. Also, over the past several years, countless numbers of our food processing plants mysteriously caught fire and trains mysteriously derailed.

More Strange “Coincidences”

—A rare 4.8 earthquake occurred in parts of the Northeast, with tremors felt from Washington, DC, to New York City to Maine on April 5, just 3 days before 4/8’s Great American Solar Eclipse that completed the giant X across the U.S.

–A UN Security Council meeting in New York City was taking place at the time the earthquake occurred. During the meeting, there was a call for Netanyahu to be replaced and Israel to be forced to cease wreaking destruction on defenseless Palestinians. The U.N. building was affected by the shaking.

–On April 3, a torrential storm struck the New York City area, during which an explosive lightning strike hit the Statue of Liberty’s torch.

–In recent days before, the Francis Scott Key Bridge (named after our national anthem’s author) in Baltimore collapsed when struck by a ship. This is one of the nation’s main shipping lanes.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Kim Jong Un: Be ready for war, he said in a speech. He based his warning on “the complicated international situation and unsafe, unstable military, and political situation around North Korea.”

This isn’t an ordinary war; it’s a multi-front war. The war in Gaza is different from any the world has seen. Israel is fighting for its existence. Hamas children are brainwashed from birth and throughout their schooling that it’s their land with rights to reconquer it (fully funded by the UN). After the October attack in Israel, the whole population of Gaza celebrated; they cheered and worse as hostages were marched through the streets. Iran uses Hamas and Hezbollah as their proxies in this war. The challenge facing Israel is to continue the war until Gaza of yesteryear ceases to exist, and a warning to other enemies that Israel has a choice: us or them.

Israel Pounds Central Gaza and Begins Softening Rafah with Precision Strikes.

US pledges to help Israel fend off Iran missile attack as Hezbollah launches rockets from Lebanon. The US is moving two US Navy destroyers nearby, according to reports. The tense situation in the Middle East was compounded Saturday after Hezbollah, an Iran proxy in Lebanon, launched 40 rockets into northern Israel. Israel’s military responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Israeli Foreign Min. warns West: If you don’t support us now, you’ll see terror in your streets, “extremist Islamic terror, led by Iran.” “Our war is your war as well.”

THE SO-CALLED TWO-STATE SOLUTION

Irish PM: We’re close to formally recognizing a Palestinian state. Ireland would like to do so in concert with Spain and other like-minded countries.

CONCLUSION

Whole Lot of Shaking Going on in the Middle East. God is causing every biblical end-time player to move into place. A spiritual earthquake is rumbling in the earth. The shaking is being felt by every believer with ears to hear and eyes to see and who looks for the blessed hope of Jesus’ return. All signs appear to point to our day for the beginning of God’s move to protect His people and His land Israel, and to bring them into saving faith in their Messiah, Jesus.

Several prophets spoke of that day. For example, Zechariah wrote, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:2-3; emphasis added).

Knowing the Imminency of The Rapture Is Critical for Believers. Imminency tells us the Rapture might happen at any moment. However, as moments become years, we struggle to maintain our eager anticipation of Jesus’ appearing. Many wonder how close we’ll get to the start of the Tribulation before He comes for us. We see so many biblical signs of the end times, yet we wait. It’s not easy, not at all.

If The Bible Had No Prophecy… There Would Be No End in Sight. Suppose God had decided not to tell us about the Second Coming, ultimate victory over evil, and our future home in heaven and eternity. We’d have no idea what the future holds. All we’d know is the world is descending deeper into darkness, evil, and hopelessness. But because God provided us with glimpses of the glorious future that awaits us, we can live with hope.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:11-13).
