Then why get upset over something that we know is going to happen and we can do nothing about? The prophesy isn’t a warning “Do this or that will happen”, it’s a statement of fact “This will happen”.

The forces that push this into happening are well known and have been well known for two thousand years to believers. It isn’t a secret cabal of men, it isn’t a group looking to gain power, it’s the Prince of the Air who is pushing this forward.

These men who are making these decisions are just pawns in his hand.

Trust me, a group of men with that much money and power who wanted to take over the world and haven’t yet are simply incompetent. That is why the conspiracy stuff falls apart.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood (these manmade conspiracies) but against Principalities and Powers (Satan and his supernatural forces).

It will happen. The fact that we can see it happening should be affirming our faith.

Instead of freaking out and fighting against the flesh and blood, we need to talk to our friends and families who don’t believe and point out that the book that they refer to as myths and stories accurately describes the world we live in.

Conspiracy theories hurt our credibility since they don’t stand up to reason and logic. Prophecy helps us since reason and logic must bow to reality, that is, what is actually happening.

Then your 'faith' is fatalism.

Sounds like a schizoid sort of perspective, to me.

1. Fear is not for Believers . . . not of the enemy nor of man.

2. There is no conspiracy THEORY in my perspective. Simply facts, probable facts, conjectures and some % for disinformation.

3. OF COURSE satan is behind it all. You made it sound like he’s not working through a cabal dedicated to him. Humans have been and are involved rather intimately, to say the least.

4. OF COURSE it will happen regardless. I happen to be of the opinion that watchmen on the wall are obligated to God to try and awaken folks and at least alert them to realties.

Who said they haven’t yet?

OThuga is not the only thing that’s not as he appears to some.

Of course principalities and powers are behind them egging and deceiving them on.

OF COURSE.

Been doing that a long time . . . even in very risky places.
