[Luke 17:28-30]
Hey, that would make a great tagline to tell people about one of the signs of the times.
Luke 17:32. Remember Lot's wife

It’s done! The New World Order is finally on the agenda for open action. America will now have what essentially will be a dictatorship of leftist ideology that points to a one-world government. That is the dream of many in our United States and around the world.
In the results of Congressional decisions on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, we can see that more likely than not, the “falling away” from lawfulness which 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 speaks of will follow in a short time. The appointments Biden has named for cabinet posts and administration positions tell us much of what to expect, along with his own declaration of actions to come.
A close look at the lack of moral integrity in the Democrat Party’s inner core can be found in the actions of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during the 2012 election campaign. One day he reported that a “friend” had told him that Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for president, “had not filed his income taxes for ten years!” He was asked to reveal the name of “his friend,” but he exclaimed, “Why ask him? Ask Mitt Romney; he is the one who did not file his tax returns!” When the truth came out that Romney, indeed, had filed his tax returns, Reid replied, with a straight face, “He didn’t win, did he?”
That old saying of dishonest achievement—“the end results justify the means”—worked without any recompense to the senator, except for the resulting blight on his own character. That “safe spot” where the senator stood to make his charge has worked well for subsequent leftist majority leaders as well for their equally untrue charges.
The position of the Democrats, as they have identified themselves in their actions during the past five years, is to reverse all of the changes the Trump administration has put in place. Those who voted for the principles of law and order, sexual morality, elimination of abortion on demand, justice for all, and obedience to the Constitution as it was written, will see the benefits of all those things reversed and lost in the Biden administration. It will be as it was, and worse, during Trump’s campaign and term of office when constant protesting and every crooked scheme imaginable was employed. Even to a second impeachment by the House, at the time of this writing, and further action expected in the Senate after Biden’s move into the oval office on January 20.
There is a loud clamor among some of the new leftist Democratic majority dictatorship to eradicate all who voted for Donald Trump. It appears that all of this will be fully accepted by the collective “deep state” who have infested the nation’s government in untold numbers.
Now, none of those deep investigations and findings of guilt in need of prosecution and punishment will be continued. Justice will not be served, even though every day when Congress and all of the various committees start their business, they all pledge allegiance to the flag and the Republic for which it stands, and they end it, in unison, “with liberty and justice for all!” I am confident that many of them—based on their word and action—have no intention of living that pledge.
Sounds like quite an indictment, doesn’t it? A pledge of allegiance to the nation and justice for all, just what must not happen if a New World Order is to be accomplished.
It would be very hard to get any law or ruling established that would require any elected or appointed person to submit to a hearing of how well they performed their oath of office after each two years is served, when the results would indicate their right to continue in office.
What does God say about these things?
I have thought much about these proverbs of Solomon and their revelation of the character of God. Think with me for a moment on these:
Proverbs 8:13 – “The fear of God is to hate evil.”
Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Romans 3:18 – “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Psalm 53:1 – “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”
Why am I calling this election result such a leap forward in prophecy fulfillment? It is because it embraces all that the leftists have promoted in their love for evil. Is not Lot’s Sodom a picture of what Jesus said it would be like when the Son of Man is revealed? (Genesis 18 and Luke 17:28-30).
Now that their philosophy is in place, with a dictatorial majority, evil will increase dramatically. It is disappointing, yet as a furtherance of God’s plan to come to the end of this age, it is positive. That plan includes the allowance of increasing evil—the “falling away”—so that the Antichrist will be fully accepted when he, then, can arrive. The introduction of the Antichrist will be by the taking away of “He who restrains” or holds back evil until it is God’s Appointed Time for that to happen. The Antichrist cannot come while the “restrainer” is still in the world, and He, who lives in His believers, will take them out of the way of that sudden judgment that will occur. If the Spirit-indwelt believers in Christ are still here, the Rapture has not come, and the Antichrist has not arrived. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 tells it plainly:
“And now you know what is restraining, that he [Antichrist] may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.”
What is that “mystery of lawlessness” mentioned there? It is that incessant, driving activity of evil that takes over society with even the slightest opportunity, even by constantly working to create those opportunities. The news media is notable at that task by not reporting the news at all or by twisting it to produce a contrary result. But note what the Restrainer is also constantly doing—holding back that expression of evil with godly forces of righteousness by the Spirit-indwelt believers in Christ. Satan and his servants can only come as “thieves who only steal, kill and destroy,” according to John 10:10a. And he can do nothing else. There is no righteousness in him—none!
(Some have claimed that this “Restrainer” cannot be the Holy Spirit who goes away, for He is of the Trinity and fills all things. But remember also that Jesus fills the hearts of all true believers, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27), but this is because they do not “rightly divide the Word of Truth.”)
This “snatching away,” as is the Greek meaning, is the removing of the body of born-again believers from the destruction of judgment that is to come suddenly. Revelation 3:10 is an everlasting promise to the righteous:
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
Throughout the centuries, God has held back the encroaching evil with His own intervention and with the presence of Spirit-filled believers in churches where He is obeyed and served with godliness. The historical church, as seen in the world, is not the church that is the body of Christ.
When that One who restrains, that body of believers is removed, it will be as sudden as the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of a trumpet, then Jesus will come quickly to meet those believers in the clouds – first, those who have died, then, those who are alive, and receive them to Himself for all eternity.
Therefore, as these thoughts have indicated, the events happening in our time move us forward in the prophetic timeline very much closer to the end of this age. The very nature of the overall reasoning that allowed the Biden presidency to take place is glaring proof, in my opinion, that it lacks moral integrity and justice.
Primarily, it was the refusal to openly consider, at every level, the validity of any of the mountains of evidence that a massive, fraudulent effort has prevailed, for which 75 million legal voters will not likely forgive nor forget.

What would Cronus misinterpret?
All of it I’m sure.
Don’t waste your time posting to people who live in a different reality than what The Holy Bible teaches.
Matthew 7:6
Proverbs 23:9
Proverbs 26:4
Yeah, haven't seen anything by him/her lately.
Yes. Here we are. It is all in Gods hands at this point.
This does not mean we get to sit on our hands and do nothing. We can work at the state level and codify these tyrants out of our lives. Stop the evil doers in DC at the border of Texas. Focus on taking over at the state level and stop being so concerned about DC.
I agree that we need to be working at the state level.
“This does not mean we get to sit on our hands and do nothing.“
That is the point of not knowing the day, or hour continuing the work.
Not sure how that works for certain people that know there is no rapture. If Christians remained once the antichrist makes peace with Israel they could count the exact day to the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1260.
Cronus, what say ye?
“If the Spirit-indwelt believers in Christ are still here, the Rapture has not come, and the Antichrist has not arrived.”
Well that’s a big error right there that is going to color the rest of the analysis.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

There is a point, where I am certainly in. But it is not time yet.
“Not sure how that works for certain people that know there is no rapture. If Christians remained once the antichrist makes peace with Israel they could count the exact day to the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1260.”
Well, you make some assumptions there (a peace treaty with Israel, for example is just your interpretation, the Bible doesn’t actually say that). But the Bible doesn’t only tell us that no man knows the day or hour of Christ’s return. It also tells us that Christ is returning soon, tells us the signs of his return, gives us a detailed timeline of the final stages before his return (which many rapture believers seem to ignore when it explicitly conflicts with their belief), and commands us all to watch for these signs so we can be ready. It even advises us to take certain actions in response to those signs happening, which seems supremely silly if none of us would be here to take those actions.
But one thing to note is that saying “no man knows” is not the same as saying “no man will ever know”. If you take Daniel 12 to be a parallel to the timeline of Revelation, then you have Daniel in fact asking when the end will be, in verse 6: “How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?”
He receives an answer much in the form of the “simple math problem” that you posited, but is also told that “the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end” and “the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand”. To me this seems to weigh in favor of the idea that what is unknowable now may not always be unknowable, but is merely sealed by God until the time of the end approaches, and then we will be able to understand.
It is all in Gods hands at this point.
It always was.
Love to be on the End Times Ping. I’m an optimist!! lol. The good news is God’s already won. We just haven’t gotten there yet :D.
It (Armageddon) will be 1,260 days after the Mark of the Beast is forced upon the unbelieving world. And that happens in the middle of the 7-years.
The covenant (of false peace) is broken in the midst of the week.
Confirmed covenant (by the Antichrist) = start of the 7 years
Covenant broken half-way through - Then shall be Great Tribulation.
Mark of the Beast now forced upon unbelievers - those who refuse are killed beheading (Revelation 20:4).
Those who take the Mark of the Beast burn in the lake of fire and brimstone forever (Revelation 14).
When the 7 years have run their course, the world gathers their armies at Megiddo for the battle of Armageddon.
(YMMV - no offense)
Sorry for the oft-double posts everyone. I sped up the click speed on my mouse (a couple of years ago) - now it double-clicks often. Sometimes 3 posts will come. It’s gotten worse, the last few months.
I can’t get it to go back to normal. I’ve delete the driver and reinstalled. Maybe it’s a setting in the registry I can edit?
Correct. But there are times we forget that. Should not be that way, but it is human nature to forget.
Imagine how those who say they don’t believe in God feel. Utter hopelessness.
Imagine the evil that Godless Communism instills in the world.
