Matthew 15:14 “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”

With all of the things happening in the world right now, it is not surprising to see that many who are spiritually blind are being led by the same. They think they know so many things, but in reality, they do not know or understand much at all. Those without spiritual discernment are falling for the ‘bold-faced lies’ that are being told from all sides, be it political movements, misleading causes, and various sources that are steeped in ‘nefarious and satanic agendas’ which are continuously being pushed upon our society, culture, and world daily, if not hourly!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; therefore, those who do not fear the Lord are prone to ‘pay homage’ to these Marxist agendas. All of this is done by ignorance that comes from years of indoctrination from anti-God sources such as Disney, Hollywood, the Music Industry, Television, Movies, Education, and the ‘lamestream’ Media.

The young people who have been perpetrating most of the rioting, looting, and violence this past year seem to be mainly Millennials; sad but true. These come out of years of ‘brainwashing and indoctrination’ from the shameless ‘explosion of witchcraft’ that was foisted upon their generation as kids via cartoons and various child entertainment platforms all throughout the 80s, 90s, and beyond.

It is no wonder that our youth nowadays are ‘Godless’ and void of discernment and wisdom. Look at where they came from, such as their ‘dumbed down’ Education system, for starters. Even if some came from Christian households, with what of our ‘watered-down American Christianity’ that celebrates pagan holidays in the home and even within the churches, and who partake in worldly and secular entertainment, it should not surprise us.

Many churches and Christian homes fail to teach the concept of ‘Holiness,’ which means to live a ‘holy life.’ The way to live a holy life is to ‘come out of and be separate’ from the world and its ways. Since most Christians look, act, talk, and live just like the world, we should not be shocked that our kids do the same. When the lines are blurred, what do we expect?

In order for our kids not to be confused, there should be a ‘clear distinction’ of what is Holy and what is unholy. Lewdness, crudeness, vulgarity, crass speech, and ‘rebellious tendencies’ should not be tolerated. When we are born again, we become a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things become new. Therefore, our old habits and ways of life in this world will change; we will no longer want to please ‘self’ but instead we will want to please God. Our kids need to know and see the difference.

Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

In recent weeks and months, I have been on a mission to ‘purge’ things from our lives. Thanks to listening to Pastor Billy Crone’s YouTube Video Series on Witchcraft and doing research concerning witchcraft/wiccan symbols, I was surprised!  I had no idea how many stars, pentagrams, arrows, signs, symbols, and the like that we had in, on, and around our house!

I was mortified at all the years of accumulation of these symbols we had acquired and wondered if we too were of the ‘blind sheeple’ bringing curses into our homes/lives and onto ourselves by being so ignorant, duped into thinking that these things were ‘acceptable’ because our culture deems them as ‘western or cool’ for home decor. Needless to say, the Christian objects from the ‘Christian stores’ were the worst! We had so many crosses with ‘various weird edges’ in our house that we were clueless to their ties to paganism!

I even had conviction concerning our photographs and pictures. Over the years, we had accumulated photos of things that I know were not pleasing to our Lord. Photos of tattoos, our celebrating of pagan holidays (I have come to literally hate most holidays and traditions of men by now), photos of our kids’ artwork which often happened to be occultic in nature; and what is worse is that, throughout the years, we did not even realize or recognize those symbols as such.

Just by purging these items from our home week after week not only lifted some ‘proverbial weight’ off my chest, but by doing so, it made our home feel better in every way possible too. I literally can sleep better now that these pagan objects and symbols are out of our lives.

Praying to God by confessing, rebuking, renouncing, and rejecting all these ties in Jesus Name to the things pertaining to witchcraft/occultism is important in breaking their stronghold.

Our watered-down Americanized Christianity has so many of us lulled into a ‘stupor and slumber’ about these satanic symbols that we were ignorantly accepting them and bringing them into our children’s lives and homes! I literally loathe the star symbol now; it feels like the scales have fallen from my eyes! Where once I saw dimly, now I see clearly, and literally can see them just by driving down the road on nearly every business, most logos, and pretty much everywhere we look; and it has been seriously eye opening to say the least!

Recently, we went back to our old Baptist Church that we had attended a few years ago, and it has been refreshing to hear some of the members talk about their realizing that we are in the Last Days now. If this ‘Plandemic’ did anything, it helped to wake people up from their ‘blindness and slumber’ to the fact that Jesus is truly coming soon, and for that I am grateful!

As that day draws near, we should be shining brighter and brighter by removing the weight that so easily besets us. Whether that weight be material, physical, spiritual, emotional, whatever. We should be casting it from us and preparing ourselves to meet our Lord in the air very soon!

Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

Philippians 2:15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.”

Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Until next time… Maranatha!

JESUS = THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE

Jesus Will Come!

As 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that.

Since the virus first appeared in the United States, the goal line for easing government restrictions, lockdowns, quarantines, and face masks has continually changed. They have gone from flattening the curve, which the CDC said would take two to four weeks, to reduced hospital admissions, to everyone receiving a vaccination, and to Dr. Fauci recently stating that people can return to movie theaters only after the vaccine has been available for an entire year.

But will the arrival of a vaccine mark a return to normal? According to Tucker Carlson’s August 26th report on The Fox News Channel, the goal line has moved yet again. He quoted the World Health organization (WHO) Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as stating that finding a vaccine for COVID-19 is not the final goal. No, the ultimate aim is the “reordering of society.” He quoted the WHO director as also saying this, “We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were.”

Dr. Ghebreyesus of the WHO summed it up this way, “The COVID-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change.” Tucker Carlson quoted Bill Gates as saying that the COVID-19 pandemic signifies “that the rest of us will have to sacrifice even more to save the earth from warming.”[i]

So, what’s the connection between the virus and climate control? Tucker Carlson nails it with these words, “Both are pretexts for mass social control.”

This “social control” is paving the way for the coming world government. The global warming alarm and the fear generated by COVID-19 are prepping society for the arrival of the antichrist.

The Great Reset is the Goal

One need not look any further than to the World Economic Forum (WEF) website to see how the global elite seek to use these “crises” to “reorder society” for what they call “The Great Reset.”

Below are a couple of the opening quotes from the “The Great Reset” page of the WEF website.

There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.

The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties.[ii]

The push for the Great Reset has reached the United Nations. António Guterres, the UN’s Secretary-General, added this to the call for the reordering of the world governments on the basis of both the “pandemic” and “climate change”:

The Great Reset is a welcome recognition that this human tragedy must be a wake-up call. We must build more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change and the many other global changes we face.[iii]

COVID-19 and climate change constitute “a wake-up call” for “global changes,” which further the need for the Great Reset, the coming world order of the tribulation over which the antichrist will someday rule. The elite who operate the WEF do not hide their intention to use climate change and the virus as the pretext for a one-world government.

Peter Koenig wrote this about how COVID-19 is advancing the agenda of the elite toward the one-world government, which he calls “the Beast.”

We have become enslaved to the Beast. The Beast calls the shots on boom or bust of our economies, on who should be shackled by debt, when and where a pandemic should break out, and on the conditions of surviving the pandemic, for example, social confinement. And to top it all off – the instruments the Beast uses, very cleverly, are a tiny-tiny invisible enemy, called a virus, and a huge but also invisible monster, called FEAR. That keeps us off the street, off reunions with our friends, and off our social entertainment, theatre, sports, or a picnic in the park.[iv]

I find it remarkable that although Mr. Koenig does not claim any knowledge of Bible prophecy, he uses the terminology of Daniel and the book of Revelation in describing the coming kingdom of the antichrist.

I provide these quotes to show how climate change and COVID-19 lie behind the push for the Great Reset. We see evidence of this in the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, which lists goals for a one-world government that it hopes to put in place by 2030. The New Green Deal in the United States mirrors the goals of Agenda 2030 with its agenda for a Marxist totalitarian world order (AKA the Beast).

The Conditioning of Society for the Great Reset

How are the elite globalists of our world preparing the world to follow their lead in establishing a Marxist government? Below I list some of the ways they use the coronavirus as well as climate change for their demonic purposes to bring about the Great Reset that will pave the way for the rule of the antichrist during the tribulation.

1. Fear: The first tool in the arsenal of the globalists is fear, and they have succeeded in creating a great deal of it both in the United States and throughout the world.

They advanced the horrors of climate change for decades, but this alone has not caught the attention of the masses that they had hoped it would do. An abundance of failed predictions along with an army of scientists who now dispute the dire warnings of impending doom have diminished the impact of climate alarm on many people. It consistently ranks low on the lists of concerns for voters.

The globalists needed a crisis that would impact everyone in the world, thus COVID-19 arrived on the scene. They still issue dire warnings regarding climate change for those who will listen and buy into that contrived panic. However, the elite have added the coronavirus to their plans to generate the widespread alarm they require to make people willing to accept their demonic Marxist solution for both crises.

2. Deception: To keep the fear thriving throughout the world, the elite need to deceive people, and the media have been a willing accomplice to this end. They have greatly inflated the danger of this virus and discounted the success stories of the treatments for this virus. With vastly inflated numbers, they have also kept the dread of the virus alive well past the point where it’s reasonable to enforce the wearing of masks and lockdowns.

The media’s shutting down of all success stories related to the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating the virus in its early stages has added to the death count from this virus as well as to the panic.

As a result, many people believe the lies they hear and depend on the government to keep them healthy and alive, which is precisely the goal of the globalists as they prepare people for their remedy to the healthcare crisis they have created.

3. Tell people to submit for their own well-being: The combination of fear and the great deception of our time have made vast numbers of people willing to submit to the government, which they now regard as the protector of their health. As a result, they have willingly given up many of their rights and freedoms for the sake of remaining healthy, a trend sure to continue.

The New World Order (AKA the beast) cannot exercise its dominion over people apart from their willingness to submit to dictates of a government they trust for their well-being and health. People wear masks without questioning their effectiveness.

And, very few pastors stand up against the restriction regarding the freedom of religion imposed on them by socialist governors. I thank the Lord for the courage of John MacArthur in this regard.

4. Lawlessness and violence: Billionaire globalists fund the violence and lawlessness we witness throughout the United States. The result of this will be the exact opposite of what those rioting believe they will accomplish with the fires, vicious attacks on the innocent, and the killing of law enforcement officials.

Those behind the Great Reset intend to use the breakdown of law and order to bring about a much more rigid “police state” where those enforcing the rules of the state will pledge loyalty to a tyrannical world government rather than to one’s city or state or country. The protests against police cruelty will result in a totalitarian rule where everyone, regardless of race, nationality, or gender will shake in fear at the sight of those enforcing the draconian rules of an all-powerful socialistic government.

5. Establish a need for government control: In order for the elite to achieve their ultimate goal of a one- world government, they must convince people of the need for more government control of their lives. This explains their devotion to the contrived climate emergency and why they will not let go of the increased control over our lives that they have achieved through the China virus.

President Donald Trump and the United States represent their greatest obstacles in achieving their objective, which is why we see the rioting and the nonstop media lies about our president. In 2016, Trump interrupted their march to world dominance, and they cannot allow for another delay in their effort to convince the world of its need for more government control.

Powerful forces in our world, led by the devil himself, seek to put in place a one-world government; and they will use everything they can to make it happen. They will not let go of the COVID-19 health “crisis” until they have accomplished their goal to subject the entire world to the slavery of a Marxist regime.

The Good News

Tucker Carlson was spot on with his assessment of climate change and COVID-19, “both are pretexts for mass social control.” The wearing of masks, the bowing of knees to the Black Lives Matter movement, and the vaccines consist of preconditioning people to both receive the mark of the beast during the tribulation and worship the antichrist (Rev. 13:16-18). This is the end game of what Satan seeks to accomplish through the Great Reset.

The prophet Daniel, writing 2,600 years ago, wrote about the Great Reset of the WEF. He called it a “beast” with “horns” (Dan. 7:23-25). The apostle John, in Revelation 13, added more details to this beast whom the antichrist will someday personify. He is the “man of lawlessness whom the Lord will destroy at His second coming (2 Thess. 2:3-8).

Since God long ago foretold the rise of this beast with the detail that we now see taking shape in our world, we can absolutely trust His Word as to the coming destruction of this beast, both the government and the antichrist who will personify the beast (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:26-27; Rev. 19:17-20:3). Jesus will destroy both at His second coming.

For those of us who belong to Christ, the good news of the Gospel is that Jesus will come for us before the start of the tribulation and the culmination of the Satanic plans of the globalists.

We do not watch in fear for the Great Reset; but we eagerly await the appearance of our great Savior who will take us back to the place He has prepared for us (John 14:1-3). We await our speedy departure from this world to heaven.

Yes, the news about our world today is more than a little disconcerting, but our hope is more glorious than we can imagine.

Jesus is coming to take us home; we need not buy into the fear of our time.

The lawlessness and violence of our day tell us that the prophesied tribulation is ever so near. But before that can happen, we will reside in paradise with Jesus.
