Chosen Control Mechanism Tightening :: By Terry James

 

It is orchestrated, conducted by a malevolent maestro whose baton continues to direct the downfall of man. The baton has at its supernatural tip the arrangement he has chosen to hold his mesmerized, global audience.

His concert might be headlined “The End-times Pandemic.” Never before has such a disease held the entire world under its control. I can say this with certainty because never before has there been such a worldwide media outreach. Every nation on earth is within the maestro’s evil, deluding influence. Leaderships of the nations, for the most part, fall obediently in line as the maestro points and manipulate the baton of orchestration.

The COVID-19 virus has now mutated, we are told, into a number of strains that will be with humankind forever. The maestro has directed many–perhaps most—leaders around the world that the answer to the problem is vaccination –many vaccinations.

This orchestration is setting the end-times world stage for his finale–the moment he brings his son of perdition onto the scene.

Since it is the opinion of most who hold to the pre-Trib view that Antichrist will come out of Europe, we look to that region to watch for the maestro’s movement in that area of the world. In that regard, there are significant developments. Satan’s apparent chosen mechanism for controlling the masses seems on track for setting the stage for his desired end-times finale.

As the following report makes clear, troubling implementations are being conducted in places where people have experienced such evil control activity in the past.

Germany has announced that those who are unvaccinated against COVID-19 will be put on lockdown, with leaders in the European nation indicating that they will support making the COVID jabs mandatory in the future.

The New York Times reported that the new rules will ban the unvaccinated from bars, restaurants, and all stores except for those that carry basic necessities. To get into any of these establishments, German residents must present either proof of vaccination or proof of recovery from a recent COVID-19 infection…

This comes as Europe in general is considering moving to make the COVID-19 shots mandatory. European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen spoke out to say that it’s time to “potentially think about mandatory vaccination” to combat the omicron variant.

“Two or three years ago, I would never have thought to witness what we see right now, that we have this horrible pandemic, we have the vaccines, the life-saving vaccines, but they are not being used adequately everywhere,” von der Leyen said on Wednesday. “How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union, this needs discussion. This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be led.” (“Germany Effectively Puts the Unvaccinated on Lockdown, Bans Them from Nearly Every Aspect of Public Life,” James Samson, Telegram, December 3, 2021)

There are those in authority in the former land of Nazism who want to go even further in the lockdown measures. Ralf Reintjes, a professor of epidemiology at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, because Germany is the least vaccinated in Europe with a 68.4 percent of the total population vaccinated, declared to CNBC that Germany’s latest restrictions aren’t enough to combat a COVID-19 surge.

“I’m very glad that the first steps in the right direction have been taken. It’s more than urgent that new measures come and contact is reduced and people get vaccinated,” he said. “But on the other hand, I’m not so sure—like many of my colleagues, we’re wondering whether these measures in this critical phase are effective enough to lower this wave. It would have been better to have these measures earlier.”

The vaccine mandate mechanism for control of the masses is being utilized in all parts of the world. The following are a few headlines from Rapture Ready News that make the point.

So, to me, at least, Satan’s mechanism for establishing control over the world’s populations is in place. It is but one element of his blueprint for constructing Antichrist’s platform that will end with billions of deaths during the last seven years leading up to Christ’s Second Advent.

“And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world… And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Revelation 6–8, 15).

To escape the disastrous outcome of what we see developing now with regard to Satan’s mechanism for establishing Antichrist’s control, heed the following from God’s Word:

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9–10).

Don’t Expect Any More Easy Rides :: By Edwin Tan

 

Twenty years ago, predictability could be regarded with much more than a pinch of salt. What could go terribly wrong with forward planning that involves more than common sense? At worst, severe illness out of nowhere, a freak accident, and perhaps being at the wrong place at the meanest moment. In terms of mathematical probability, there would be many zeros. Not quite so as I write; those zeros seemingly fell off – in some instances, scratching a solitary digit!

It is as good as saying that the next week if not days, are rest assured without any need for a sigh of relief. Indeed, more frustration way ahead – it could imply going back to the drawing board for more than the umpteenth time. Not that welcome adrenaline rush as hypertension could be quite the norm. Doors of supposed opportunity get slammed right in many faces as uncertainties near warp speed. The imprint of imminent failure begins to wrap itself menacingly as options and even ideas arrive at exhaustive levels. The dreaded prospect of depression then begins its merciless onslaught – some guffaw from the pit of hell accompanies this rampant move!

For those who do not walk closely with the Lord, this vicious tide is much like a knife cutting through butter. A severely tormented mind is susceptible to falsehoods that aggravate the confusion. This, in turn, feeds negatively into relationships; heated arguments over almost nothing can erupt, whether it is with loved ones or colleagues. The wicked laughter from none other than the evil one intensifies, and its tenacity is very much like a wild beast on the hunt for prey.

It will come as little surprise when the enemy is compared to the above-mentioned creature of carnage in 1 Peter 5:8. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

Indeed, this is not further from the truth in our present time, which is characterized by increasingly evil days. The heart-wrenching sad stories bear testament to the enemy’s relentless destruction of souls. Do not just talk about the unsaved on the casualty list, but Christians who do not wholly put their trust in their Saviour do risk joining their unbelieving counterparts – much to the delight of the devil!

I Peter 5:9-10 tells us how we, as firm believers in Jesus Christ, can avoid the above-said train wreck.

“Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”

This is truly the situation that is part of that sliver of time before our redemption. The son of perdition is hell-bent on making it very difficult for the Bride of Christ. We can in no way draw any strength from our limited resources, which can never withstand the barrage from the beast. We have to draw our strength from our Heavenly Father, who is all eyes and all ears where our wellbeing is concerned. We must “therefore submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

When we submit to our Creator, it means a one hundred percent commitment. With this, we can avoid the numerous wild goose chases that so typify the punji stake snares set up by our adversary. Proverbs 19:21 has great advice for our spiritual wellbeing.

“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’S counsel – that will stand.”

The long and short of it all is simply this – you are playing literally with hellfire when you go it alone in these darkening days. You need to put everything in the hands of your Lord and Saviour. Yes! What is happening at this very moment is what the Olivet Discourse mentioned. The incredible weather, the prospect of wars, and of course, the ongoing pandemic. Amidst the turmoil, the is sureness and stability in the Living Word. The same can be said about our Hope!
