Pure Evil :: By Jim Towers

 

How can we know that Jesus is coming sooner rather than later? If you are a Bible reader, you will find that Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man.” He also told us of other signs and wonders to look for. The things going on these days are not unlike the things that were going on in Noah’s generation, and according to the Bible, that generation was pure evil. Is it any wonder God had to destroy it?

If that be the case, how can we expect our Divine Creator to overlook the grievous sins in our world today? The total and absolute flaunting of God’s Laws by a perverted and evil segment of society is overtly prevalent and is the reason for all the present calamities assaulting us – one after the other. The evildoers relish breaking the laws of God, especially people in power over us, those who should be setting an example for us to follow. Yet, they are the worst of the worst.

Teachers are teaching how to be rebellious and to defy the authority of parents and those over them. The recent generations and many segments of this society are practically devoid of God’s sacred laws. The Ten Commandments are alien to them. All they seem to know is hate, violence and a selfish desire to dominate or profit, and all the sensual sin they can derive. To them, Jesus is nothing more than a historical figure who had nothing to do with the salvation of humanity.

By now, you are beginning to know that I am speaking of atheistic communists, criminals and perverts who are trying to seize control of our country and the world by any and all means—even going so far as to release viruses capable of killing millions of people.

Here in the United States, these same people have gone so far as to steal the presidential election from Donald J. Trump and to institute communism as a way of life, even though we’ve seen it fail in China, Russia, Cuba and Venezuela, where people are imprisoned and starved to death. (The Islamic states couldn’t be happier since capitalism and Christianity are anathema to them as well.)

I must admit, as I’ve stated in the past, that all the evil that is taking place is forewarned in the Holy Bible – and the worst is yet to come. What with the Great Tribulation bearing down on us, it’s hard to assume that any one man can stem the tide of corruption we all face. I’m speaking of President Trump.

Even as Mike Lindell, the “My Pillow guy,” has gone about gathering evidence and is at the moment trying to reverse the election results, the communist left has hindered him in every way possible. His “Thankathon” on the internet (Frank Speech and Lindell TV) is being hacked intermittently to make the good people that are trying to do the right thing look like amateurs. And compared to the demonic horde, they are. After all, they are fighting against demonic principalities and powers in high places.

We can’t count on Trump alone to save us. What humanity needs is a spiritual savior, i.e., the Lord and Savior of mankind – Christ Jesus. Even if the good guys do prevail, it won’t be long until people fall back into their old ways without repenting. Some would rather die than repent, not realizing where they will spend eternity. The Bible says, “It is appointed unto man once to die, after this – the judgment.”

In my recent article, I wrote how we needed to restore President Trump to his rightful place as the head of the nation. Despite his flaws (and we all have them), he was the best we could hope for in this country. But the fake Democrat government was more than ready to step in when the Chinese government intervened to steal the 2020 election from him. Today, because of that theft, we are fast becoming a third-world country with leftist communists in control.

This, in fact, is an attempt by “Globalists” to bring about the One-World Government or what is known as the New World Order, just as has been forewarned in the book of Revelation. These people are responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people and crippling many with vaccines that they know are harmful. Next will be children and infants. They are pure evil.

Australia has been hard hit by leftist “One World” extremists, and today its people are fighting for their very existence while other countries are doing the same. When the time is right, the Chinese communist government may step in, in a pretext to set things right.

Cancel Culture is an attempt to undo everything that reminds us of who we are/were as a Christian nation. And there are plans by the federal government to institute the “Thought Police,” as if it wasn’t enough to be policed by Facebook and the other social media outlets.

Oh yes, and now we will have to contend with yet another Covid-19 variant called Omicron; sounds spooky, doesn’t it? (The doctor in Africa who discovered it says it is NOT life-threatening, yet it’s sure to be used to keep Americans under control. With this new toy in the left’s playbook, we can expect them to exploit this new strain of flu to the nth degree. Who would have guessed these crazy times would come upon us so fast? Nevertheless, the Bible warned us it would be so.

Let me end this column on a good note, and that is that, finally, some are beginning to repent and take these matters seriously. Other people are beginning to wake up and have quit straddling the fence as they see the end approaching. Some are even talking about spiritual matters openly. Mike Lindell, Stew Peters, and others even openly speak of salvation, God, and Jesus openly on newly forming conservative social medias.

Conservative Christians are finally coming out from their comfort zones to denounce these self-righteous tyrants.

Hopefully, this will give us an open window of opportunity to share Christ.

Permanency :: By Grant Phillips

Permanency as defined is: the state or quality of lasting or remaining unchanged indefinitely.

Is there anything that is truly permanent? Solomon said, “And there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9c). Some things seem to be permanent, but are they really? Take “sin” for example; it was introduced to mankind with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and six thousand years later, it continues raising its ugly head within every human heart. However, after the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, there will be no more sin. Therefore, it is not permanent, at least with true believers.

Have you ever noticed that your possessions eventually have to be replaced because they tend to wear out? Every homeowner is conscious of the never-ending upkeep to ensure everything is in working order.

How long will your vehicle last? I haven’t seen one yet that doesn’t eventually wear out. Could the same be said of our clothes, cell phones, batteries, ink pens, etc.?

As we travel the highways and dodge the potholes, it is immediately obvious they (the highways) are not permanent.

Nothing is permanent that is made by man, except for one thing, and I’ll come back to that.

Even this old earth will someday pass away.

Peter said, “… the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).

When thinking about permanency, we cannot omit the word “eternal.” Jesus spoke of eternal (everlasting) life. Life that is eternal never ends. Methuselah is the longest living human being, and he lived on this earth for 969 years. Wow! That’s a lot of years, but 969 years isn’t even a speck in the light of eternity. His 969 years on this earth ended at his death, but his soul lives on in eternity. Methuselah is not dead. Only his body is dead. His soul lives on in the eternal realm.

God is eternal or permanent, and not just looking forward to the future, but also looking backward in the past. However, there is no “past” with God. He has always been, and He will always be. That’s why He told Moses His name is, “I am.” He is God. He is the only one who has always been and always will be.

Heaven and hell are eternal and therefore also permanent. The short span of life you and I live on this earth is not even a hiccup in relationship to eternity. The life we have on this earth is temporary, but the life we have in eternity is permanent, whether it be in Heaven or hell (the lake of fire).

Even if we live to be as old as Methuselah, and none of us will in this life (except maybe in the Millennium), we have been provided this temporary earthly life in order to decide where we will spend our permanent, eternal life.

When I think of eternity, I think of something that is never-ending because that is exactly what it is … never ending. When I think of permanency, I think of something that will always exist … never ending. Every human being has been created to enjoy something that will always exist and will last forever, but most choose the wrong destination and therefore lose the real prize offered by our Creator.

“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).

What is the real prize mentioned in this verse? The real prize to me, and I’m sure to you also, is the fellowship we will have with the Lord Jesus Christ for all eternity; and that, my friends, is definitely permanent. It is a prize that will never fade away.

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:20).

God created mankind that we would all have a fellowship with Him that would be eternal (permanent), but we blew it at the very beginning. Sure, Adam and Eve were the first to sin, but we would have done likewise if we had been there.

Genesis 3:15 is the first mention of the Gospel, showing us that He provides the one way we can all be forgiven and enjoy that fellowship He longs for us to have. He informed us through Peter that He is not willing that any should perish.

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

I mentioned earlier that there is one thing man makes, which is permanent and therefore eternal. That one thing is the choice we make concerning Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “… I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

If we do not repent and ask Jesus to save us before we die, it will be too late. Once we take that last breath, there is no going back and getting a re-do. How many times in this life have we wished we could go back and change a bad decision? Maybe we somehow managed to correct a bad decision in this life, but once our body is dead, there is no going back. The decision we make about Jesus Christ while alive in this body is permanent and will last for eternity.

Maybe you’re thinking, “Well, I haven’t believed in Jesus, but I’ve been a good person.”

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:18-19).

Millions of “good” people refuse to go to the Light because they prefer what the world has to offer. They are like Lot’s wife, who longed for the world and not the Savior (Genesis 19:26). Then they die and are condemned by God to an everlasting hell.

Nothing is more final and permanent than the life we live after our earthly life is over. Call on Jesus today. Don’t let it be said of you, “It’s too late.” Hell is eternal and permanent.

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37).
