Eerie Past and Future Evil :: By Terry James

Words coming from the heart of what many of us believe to be the reviving Roman Empire sounded to be both prologue and prescience. They were spoken by a German representative to the European Union’s parliament.

Christine Andersen, speaking while being interviewed by Steve Bannon of The War Room podcast, gave an eerie analysis of the mask mandates being issued by leaders around the world. She compared what is going on in today’s world to things going on during the time leading to the rise of the Third Reich.

She indicated much of the program involving attempts to gain complete control of the masses today is frighteningly similar to the program employed by the scientists, doctors, epidemiologists and others of the era just before Hitler and his henchmen took over Germany. She explained that their efforts during pre-Nazi Germany were geared toward separating people. They had at the center of their evil postulation that the totally unproven, so-called science showed that inferior races were disease carriers and needed to be separated from the “pure race.”

In the days leading to the holocaust, the Jews and Gypsies were the main targets; then, as the regime garnered power, all others who weren’t considered of the pure, Aryan bloodline were targeted for separation, sequestration in the ghettos and death in the extermination camps.

She said that is what the masking and the vaccines are all about now. They are touting a pseudo-scientific edict that all be mandated, using the masks and the vaccine threats of job loss and worse to separate people. Divide and conquer is the ages-old methodology tyrants always utilize to bring about their regimes of totalitarianism.

Andersen said that the (for the most part) ineffective masking and the untested, not officially approved vaccines in most cases had at the heart of their purpose the divide and conquer modus operandi of all tyrants. The globalist would-be masters had chosen those who refused to adhere to the demands of the elite –the mask and vaccine mandates— to turn the compliant against the resisters. Those who refuse to be vaccinated are declared to be spreaders of COVID. These must be punished by whatsoever methods that will make them comply with the tyrant’s dictates –All for the good of humanity, of course.

We have certainly been witness to the tyrannical methods used to try to turn the masses against those who don’t want to take “the jab,” as it is called. Rather than letting up on their demands, despite the growing number of people refusing the jab, those forces at the top that are almost without exception of the globalist mindset double down.

Much like the Nazis, the one-worlders try to initiate the destruction of prevailing culture from within the family unit. They know they can control more viciously, more completely, if they can take control of children away from parents. This is what the present cancel culture fascists are trying to accomplish through corruption within America’s and the world’s educational systems. It appears at present that those so determined to take the children totally from parental control have overstepped boundaries. The recent elections in Virginia validate this to some extent.

But the battle continues to rage. The evil one who incessantly makes war on humanity and humanity’s Creator continues to stalk about seeking ways to wreak destruction.

The following news item illustrates how Satan’s past wickedness during the rise of the Third Reich is making yet another assault at present. His minions are again using the children to do their destructive work. Again, it is the masks and the vaccines that are at the black heart of this Twenty-first Century attempt to help bring in the Antichrist system of control.

OAKLAND — San Francisco will soon require children as young as 5 to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination to enter certain indoor public spaces like restaurants, entertainment venues and sporting events, public health officials said this week.

The local mandate already requires children and adults over the age of 12 to show proof that they are vaccinated before entering those places. Now, city health officials are planning to extend the health order to children ages 5 to 11, the group newly eligible for the shot…

Vaccinations of the younger age group began Wednesday in California, the same day West Coast scientific experts announced they greenlighted the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children ages 5-11 — and a day after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the kid-sized dose. The pediatric vaccine is a third of the adult dose and, like the adult formulation, is given in two doses, 21 days apart.

Officials from the San Francisco Department of Public Health on Wednesday confirmed the plan, saying the city’s current vaccination and masking requirements will be reexamined once the younger children have adequate time to be vaccinated.

I like the way Geoffrey Grider of Nowtheendbegins.com summarizes and frames this past and future evil.

People get mad when you compare the Yellow Star placed on Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s with the COVID vaccine mandates being forced on people here in 2021, but in point of fact, the two are surprisingly and alarmingly similar. The Yellow Star created two classes of people, and the vaccine mandate does exactly the same thing. The only question is, have we learned anything from history, or is it getting to repeat itself again? Don’t answer; it’s rhetorical.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us” (Ecclesiastes 1:9:10).

 

Isaiah 28:15: A Covenant with Death :: By Gary W. Ritter

(Isaiah 28-29; Ephesians 5)

Most people who follow Bible prophecy are aware that the trigger for the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation is the covenant that Antichrist confirms between Israel and an entity described as the “many.” We famously see this in Daniel 9:27:

“And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

The covenant is for a week of years, i.e., seven years. It is believed by most people who study this passage that this covenant will pave the way for the building of the 3rd temple in Jerusalem, what we also call the “Tribulation Temple.” This will enable the orthodox Jews to once more begin religious rituals, including sacrificial offerings. At the midpoint of this period – at the three-and-one-half year mark – “he” (the Antichrist) – will cause these sacrifices to end. Following in the footsteps of the Greek king Antiochus Epiphanes circa 165 BC, who desecrated the temple by killing a pig there and spreading its blood on the altar, Antichrist will similarly perform the abomination of desecration. As Daniel describes, the desolator, i.e., Antichrist, will himself ultimately come to a preordained end.

Perhaps you’ve wondered what circumstances would cause Israel to trust Antichrist to broker a deal that is eventually broken. First is the fact that Antichrist has somehow brought the Jews to a position of faith in his goodwill toward them. Perhaps they see him as their Messiah for some reason. If that’s the case, that would certainly convince them that he had Israel’s best interests at heart. All we can do is speculate about this, as Scripture is silent on how this actually comes about.

Secondly, circumstances in the world must bring about the need for Israel to even consider such a covenant in the first place. Again, speculation is all we have, with some thinking Islamic pressure necessitates the deal, whereas others, like noted Bible prophecy teacher Bill Salus (and me, who is un-noted!), believe this comes about because of the rise of militant Catholicism. Regardless of the precipitating cause, God declares that this covenant is not of Him; in fact, it is destined to bring Israel to its knees because it is based on lies. Consider what Isaiah 28:14-15 says about it:

“Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem! Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have an agreement, when the overwhelming whip passes through it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood we have taken shelter.”

The overwhelming whip in these verses is also known as the overwhelming scourge (KJV). This agreement is made with Death and Sheol, a.k.a. Hades in the Greek. One very prominent mention of these two partners in crime is in the opening of the 4th Seal in Revelation 6:7-8:

“When he [i.e., the Lamb = Jesus] opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, ‘Come!’ And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”

If Isaiah is referring to these verses in Revelation – which I believe he is – then the participants in Daniel’s covenant are Death and Hades, who come riding forth at the opening of this final Seal. They are bringing an overwhelming scourge that Israel greatly fears. A scourge is an instrument of punishment that brings affliction and suffering. Israel wants to avoid this.

The problem is that the agreement made is based on falsehoods. These untruths may come from all parties to the covenant. Antichrist knows he’ll break it. The many, represented by Death and Hades (Sheol), may be plotting to cheat on it. The leaders of Israel may be trying to retain their positions of power and will do whatever is necessary in selling out their people so as to retain governmental control. In other words, just as Isaiah says, this is a false refuge against whatever is threatening Israel.

It gets worse. Isaiah 28:18 tells us the fate of this agreement and of Israel who enters into it:

“Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.”

God declares that He will cancel this agreement. It will fall like broken shards to the earth and be ground into dust. The trouble that Israel hoped to avoid will come upon her anyway. Likely the misfortune and torment that subsequently engulfs Israel will be worse than the people ever imagined.

Consider what Isaiah 28:19 says about it:

“As often as it passes through it will take you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.”

Even just hearing of what transpires in this horrific evil will cause many to tremble in abject fear, let alone the actual harm that occurs.

God’s plan for Israel requires her to be broken. Indeed, she will be as Isaiah 28:22 tells us:

“… for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.”

Only through this devastation upon all of Israel and her people during the Tribulation can God get her attention. Through the witness of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, the preaching of the two witnesses in Jerusalem, and finally by the Gospel proclaimed throughout the world by the angelic host – Israel will finally acknowledge Jesus Christ as her long-awaited Messiah. She will see the truth of Jesus just as Isaiah 28:16 says she will:

“… therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: Whoever believes will not be in haste.'”

God’s hopes and plans for His Chosen People will come to pass. It will be a hard-won victory for Him and a painful reality for the Jewish nation as Zechariah 13:8-9 recounts:

“In the whole land, declares the Lord, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left alive. And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.'”

Indeed, Israel will repeat the words they shouted as Jesus first entered Jerusalem to their fickle acclaim, but this time they will mean them:

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD” (Psalm 118:26).

[Author Note: Briefly, I want to set the stage for you as to the nature of most of my articles in this season. Each year I read the Bible through completely at least once – that has been my practice since I came to the Lord in 2005. I remain astounded at what God has done in my life because of that discipline! Each day I read from both the Old and New Testaments. I choose a verse from one of those passages and write my commentary and reflection based on that. In the title of my article, you’ll see the verse I chose. In addition, you’ll see the reading for that day if you’d like to follow along with greater context.]
