The End of Freedom :: By Daymond Duck

Rev. 13:7 reads, “And it was given unto him (the Antichrist) to make war with the saints [the people that get saved after the Rapture], and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”

The Antichrist will rule over all kindreds, tongues, and nations (rule over a world government including the U.S.).

The government of Antichrist must be more powerful than the government of America.

America must give or lose its sovereignty, and that is what globalism and the New World Order are about.

It is important for us to know that the UN has agreed to establish a world government by 2030 or sooner.

If God allows globalists to establish a world government by 2030, the Rapture will happen before that.

A reader sent the following link to a video that some may want to watch.

According to the video:

  • Today, Americans are free to do what they want to do except where they are prohibited by law.
  • Covid vaccine passports are being used to change the way things are done today so that Americans will soon be under a new and different system that will not allow them to do anything except that which the government has given them permission to do.
  • Getting fully vaccinated will not prevent Americans from being subject to the rules of this coming new system.
  • Permission to travel, eat at a restaurant, work, buy, etc., will be dependent upon one’s obeying the government’s new rules, and the new rules will be changed as often as the government wants to change them.
  • If something happens and a citizen is a day or two late getting their next vaccination or booster shot, they will already be out of the system and blocked from traveling, eating out, etc.
  • Even worse, this system is being designed to be expanded, it is already being used in China, and it is coming to America and the whole world soon.
  • What Americans are experiencing today is just a taste of what is coming.
  • Big tech companies are already monitoring, collecting, and saving vast amounts of information on everyone.
  • Surveillance cameras are everywhere, but something worse is coming: punishment for those seen breaking the new government requirements.
  • Once vaccine passports become the law, punishment will come, and there will be no going back.
  • Freedom will be extinguished.
  • Will Americans allow this generation to be the end of freedom?

Below are some events that made the news this week.

One, concerning the decline of America: on Jan. 6, 2022, it was reported that a new poll found that 76.8% of respondents (more than three out of four) now believe that “American society and culture are in a state of decay.”

It was Pres. Obama (not this writer) that said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

It was Joe Biden (not this writer) that said, “The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order” (world government).

Two, concerning the coming godless world government, world religion, and persecution of Christians: on Jan. 8, 2022, it was reported that a coalition of prominent evangelical pastors in Canada has come out against a new Canadian law (Bill C-4) that will allow the criminal prosecution of Christians that speak out against homosexuality and transgenderism in Canada.

The group voiced their opposition to the bill by posting a letter criticizing the Canadian Members of Parliament for rushing through a bill without debate or public comment that defines Bible teaching on sexuality and gender as a “myth.”

According to the law, those that believe the “myth” that there are only 2 genders (male and female) and say they believe it can be threatened with 5 years in jail.

Three, for those that think the Bible is a book of myths, on Dec. 19, 2021, it was reported that new research on an ancient aqueduct in Jerusalem suggests that the aqueduct was built by Pontius Pilate (the Roman leader that governed Israel from about 26-27 AD to about 36-37 AD).

According to the Bible, Pontius Pilate condemned Jesus to death.

The fact that archaeology continues to confirm Bible dates, places, names, teachings, etc., is very important.

Four, concerning perilous times and world government (a borderless world): on Jan. 7, 2022, the 2-year anniversary of America’s assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, his replacement vowed to retaliate against Americans inside their homes in the U.S.

Despite this threat to send terrorists to attack American citizens inside the U.S., America’s border with Mexico remains wide open for the terrorists to enter.

Five, Jan. 1, 2022, was the sabbath in Israel, and the Jewish Scripture for that day was about the seventh plague in Egypt (Hail and fire; Ex. 9:18-26).

While Jews were in the Synagogues reading the Scriptures, “quail-size” hailstones and lightning (flashing fire) were falling in an Egyptian town on the Red Sea.

Whether this was a coincidence or a message from God is debatable, but it is a fact that Jews believe God will send plagues at the end of the age, and this happened.

Six, concerning a peace treaty in the Middle East that will begin the Tribulation Period: on Jan. 10, 2022, a bipartisan group of House and Senate members launched a Caucus to strengthen the normalization agreements that several Arab nations have signed with Israel and to “widen the circle of peace” between Israel and other nations.

Seven, concerning famine: on Jan. 8, 2022, it was reported that several U.S. supermarkets are reporting incidents of empty shelves and a growing concern over a possible shortage of meat, eggs, and potatoes.

(More: It was reported that McDonald’s in Japan has stopped selling large and medium orders of French Fries (it is small or nothing), Kentucky Fried Chicken in Kenya has removed French Fries from their menu, and potato chip producers in South Africa are having trouble getting enough potatoes to produce their chips.)

(More: on Jan.10, 2022, it was reported that it might be months, perhaps 6 months, before some store shelves are restocked to normal levels.)

(More: on Jan. 12, 2022, it was reported that inflation has caused a 7% rise in prices compared to one year ago. This is the largest increase in 40 years.)

Eight, concerning deceit and wickedness: on Jan. 12, 2022, it was reported that leaked military documents from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) appear to show that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were identified as curatives for Covid (as medicines that will cure Covid) in April 2020.

If this is true, someone needs to be held accountable for denying access to a cure for Covid from citizens.

Medical personnel that have lost their jobs for providing their patients with access to Ivermectin and/Hydroxychloroquine should be compensated and restored.

Here is a link to the article.

Nine, on Jan. 12, 2022, it was reported that Washington State will hold a Zoom meeting today to discuss an amendment to a state law that will allow officials to arrest and hold unvaccinated citizens against their will in internment camps.

Internment camps are already being used in China and Australia, and this could be the beginning of their use in the U.S.

(Note: My article will be sent to the Rapture Ready editor before I know the result of the Washington State meeting.)

Ten, this may not relate to Bible prophecy, but on Jan. 11, 2022, it was reported that Covid caused a 34% decline in new blood donors last year, prompting the Red Cross to declare a national blood crisis for the first time.

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Receiving and Rejecting the Light :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard

John 1:9-13, John 3:19-20, John 7:40-43, Acts 4:12, Acts 16:30-31, Romans 10:9-10

Summary: John tells us in the prologue of his Gospel that the Light of Jesus Christ shines in the darkness that represents the sins of humanity. Some turn to the Light, and others reject it, missing out on the blessings of salvation and eternal life.

In the prologue to his Gospel, John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as “the Light” that shines in darkness and that it was John the Baptist who bore witness of His Light. The Light of Christ is offered to everyone, yet not all wanted the Light of Christ to shine upon them, and they rejected Him. Those who embraced Christ were given the blessing of peace with God, freedom from the bondage of sin, and eternity with the Father in heaven by the work of the Son (John 1:5-9, 14:6). This same mindset is with us in these last days before His promised return to make all things new.

Why do people not receive the offer of forgiveness and rest offered freely by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:28-30; John 10:28-30)?

There are several reasons given in the Scripture, and none of them are valid excuses or explanations in terms of where we stand before the Sovereign LORD.

The world, in general, did not and still does not want to receive the Light, even though it is a free gift from God to HIs fallen creation (John 1:4, 9-10, 8:12, 12:46) Whom He made in His image (Genesis 1:26, John 1:3). He came into His own land and among His chosen people Israel (Deuteronomy 7:6, 18:15-18; Jeremiah 2:7).

John writes that Jesus’ own family did not believe Him until after His resurrection (John 7:5; Acts 1:14; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8). John also lists other reasons why Jesus’ teachings and claims were rejected, and again, not one of them is excusable. He tells us that there were some who loved darkness more than light, which is in line with what the Apostle Paul says about the condition of sinful humanity and their rejection of God’s glory, existence, and direction (John 3:19-20, 5:42-43; Romans 1:18-32, 3:10-18, 23). Some were fearful of what others would think of them if they followed Jesus, preferring their approval over the welfare of their souls (Mark 8:38; John 7:13, 9:22, 12:42-43).

Some were misinformed about the facts concerning Jesus, but there is no account of any of them making the effort to check out the truth about Him, save for Nicodemus (John 3:1-21, 7:40-43). Many of His disciples would not understand His teachings and simply quit following Him (John 6:6) instead of thinking about them and expanding their knowledge of the deeper things of God. Things haven’t changed. We want easy belief and shallow teaching that soothe our emotions and tickle our ears, preferring to remain deaf to His call to salvation (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

This goes hand-in-hand with another lame reason why people chose to reject Jesus: they loved their traditions and history (John 9:13-16). People, as a whole, do not like any kind of change or alternate methods of doing things. They have been comfortable with things as they are, and anyone who suggests any kind of change usually does not end well for the person who dared to rock the boat or shake up the system in order to make it better.

Jesus came along, casting out the money changers in the Temple, declaring that the religious work and manner of the Pharisees and other officials were no better than rotting corpses in tombs and were hypocrites headed to hell (Matthew 23:27, 33). He cursed cities that saw His miracles yet rejected Him (Matthew 11:21-23), chastised His apostles for their unbelief and dullness of mind (Mark 8:14-21), and rebuked officials who tried to discredit Him by asking about taxes to Caesar and the issue of the Resurrection (Luke 20:19-40).

People who tend to dwell on “gentle Jesus, meek and mild” need to re-read the Gospels and see that He was not nice and sweet all the time but laid it on the line in terms of waking up all people to the fact of accountability before God, the reality of sin and its consequences, and that He is the ONLY way to salvation, period (John 14:6).

I dare to say that if the Lord Jesus showed up at the average house of worship today and did the things He did in the Gospels, the cry for His death would be as loud as those who lived in His day. However, His resurrection would still take place to the world’s regret and the devil’s fears.

What about those who receive the Light of Christ?

John tells us that by giving our lives over to Jesus, we have the authority to be called sons and daughters of God, heirs and joint heirs with Him, a wonderful manifestation of the love of Almighty God (John 1:12; Romans 8:14-17; 1 John 3:1). The privilege of being born of God is not by physical descent, or the work of our flesh, or virtue of power by our will, but is a spiritual rebirth made possible by the Sovereign, merciful, and benevolent act of the Spirit of God alone (John 1:13, 3:5; Titus 3:5). We receive this free gift by repenting of our sins (Psalm 51:1-17) and asking the Lord Jesus to forgive us and save us (Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10), and that we give our lives fully over to Him as Lord and Savior.

We belong to Him from that time onward into eternity, and we are to serve Him by sharing what He has done for us with others (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 4:12, 19-20), reading His Word to grow spiritually (John 17:17; Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21), finding and supporting a body of like-minded believers who teach the Scriptures faithfully and who confess Christ as Lord (Hebrews 11:25), and following the Lord’s example by a public confession of faith in Christ, being baptized as a sign of obedience and affirmation to follow Him.

I pray that if you are seeking the Light of Truth and you have come across this sermon, I invite and implore you to repent of your sins and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life. Please quit stumbling around in the darkness and turn to Him today.

My YouTube broadcasts titled “The Reality City Review” will be posted on Facebook, GETTR, Parler, and on my website when completed. My main area of discussion will be on the basics of the Christian faith but will also deal with prophetic issues and other topics as the Lord impresses upon me to handle.
