Dear friends, praying (petitioning) for our nation (1 Timothy 2:1-4), having Tea Parties, calling our representatives and elected officials, being up to date on the issues, living out our Judeo/ Christian ideals, etc... is all fine and dandy, but DO NOT deceive yourselves into thinking that all of this effort and wishful thinking will re-establish a “Christian” conservative America or a “Christian” conservative utopia today here on earth, with the gullible imagination that we will all live happily ever after. Again my friend, we have passed the point of no return in this regard. The steak has been left out in the sun too long and is totally rotten and spoiled and is good for nothing but to be disposed of! The Four Horsemen are at the world's door and nothing is going to stop them (Rev. 6-9)!
This delusional reasoning is the Satanic Kool-Aid of the day that is being peddled by “religious” conservatives (Rom. 10:2-4, 2 Cor. 11:13-15) who do not honor or know not Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (Matt. 7:21-23; John 4:24; Jude 1:3-4). Many Evangelicals at present are drinking this poison and passing the jug around. Many are departing the faith and sound doctrine and apostatizing into many subtle isms. (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Peter 2:1). Warning, Be not deceived!
Sadly, many Evangelicals today are oblivious to this Biblical reality. These have subjectively submersed themselves into the current events of the day and the "mission" for the restoration of Washington and it has absolutely consumed all of their time and energy. They have constructed a wall of worry, ignorance and temporal foresight so high that they cannot see and comprehend the hour and day in which we are living in. These days in which we are living in are the catalyst leading to the soon approaching Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon and Lord Jesus Christ's glorious second coming to earth to establish His 1000 Year Kingdom! (2 Thess. 2:2-3, Rev 16:13-16, 19:11-21).
My friend, there is a BIG DAD TRIBULATION headed our way and with the Four Horsemen ready to ride nothing is going to stop that event from transpiring. These have set their “tent pegs” deep in the world reasoning and system, and have given a distant second status to their position in Christ and the Gospel proclamation to all the world (Matt. 28:19-20; Rom 1:16). They have lost their ETERNAL vision and focus, and the Heavenly calling given them by Almighty God, which is needed so drastically for today for our nation and world (1 Cor. 2:5; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 1:3; Col. 3:1).
Our Hope and future expectations are not to be found in this passing world, but ONLY in Almighty God and His ETERNAL promises (1 John 2:15-17).
Our Holy admonition from Almighty God is that we are to be Christ’s servants (slave) first for Almighty God's GLORY and HONOR, and conservative patriots second. This is the proper order for the child of God (John 1:12) today.
Remember my Evangelical Conservative friends, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and a big bad tribulation (Matt 24) is at our door step called "The Day of the Lord" (Rev. 6-19). May the Lord Jesus Christ have first place in our lives and may His glorious Gospel message be proclaimed in these Last Days (1 Cor. 10:31, 2 Cor. 5:17-21).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
BUT, Christ also said when you see these things know that the time is at hand....
We do not know the hour, minute and second, but you better start taking a hard look around.
In order for the “peace and security” to be in place, there has to be a peace treaty. With all that is going on today, it’s the perfect time for the New World Order types to get the Muslims in check with a nice peace treaty. Maybe after Isaiah 17. That should make everybody into a peace freak.
But it will not last. And that’s when more warfare comes. When everything is peaceful and secure. The whole world will be fooled, except for those who plan the destruction of Israel and will just be biding their time. And of course us. We will not be fooled, having read prophecy.
Meanwhile, the Singularity will come in 2017. Everyone thinks it will be later than that.
Seems to be the case...The calm before the storm...
Perhaps - but the trends toward globalization bring us ever closer to putting all the pieces together for the "Thief" to deem the time is right....
I have no idea what you are trying to get at there. What’s your point?
+1. Thank you for saving me the keyboarding!
It’s that the biblical tone seems to be that it’s going to happen when almost nobody is worrying about it. Faith will dwindle so much that almost nobody will care.
So far the church has had more lives than the proverbial cat.
And, we should thank the Lord for the corresponding spiritual sustenance. Sometimes “oh woe, it’s all going to hell” is an excuse for “I just don’t feel like praising the Lord for His wonderful gifts right in the middle of this ‘hell’.” And that has to irritate the Lord who saved us.
And we do see that on a large scale today. Even within so called "churches".
Calling the current mood a declaration of “peace and safety” seems rather illogical to me.
For one really major thing why would we have a global warming scare? It’s not generating much peace and the associated declaration is not safety but danger.
The profile of caring is still very high compared with many historical norms. We also sin sometimes by asking, foolishly, “why were the old days better.” This causes us to ignore the potential of today.
I agree in one sense.
It’s folly to have a faith of “countryism.” Christ won’t brook rivals. There is no “God-and” to worship. It irritates me to see people more interested in crosses than in the One who died upon the cross. I wouldn’t go to the extent of calling it Kool Aid but I understand the sentiment.
Whether the end times are about to play out on the schedule you’re outlining... we at best can answer that with an emphatic maybe. Only God knows what is in people’s souls, and whether yet another God-focused revival is in the cards.
If you don't understand the mistakes of the past you are apt to repeat them in the future. I don't think it's necessarily so that we "ignore the potential of today".
How about avoiding both sins, Bear.
For every mention of “Look, fields white for harvest” there are about 99 of “world’s going to hell.” Could there be a proportion problem here?
And incidentally, the Lord is the best teacher, not “mistakes of the past.” That casts wisdom in a humanistic light if we are not very careful.
Or perhaps you don't see the two statements meaning the same thing?
Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.
Perhaps “quickly” does not mean sooner in time but too fast to do anything about it when it does come. It will be irrevocable and with no further warning. In a sense it is already too late, but everyone will realize it is Too Late at the same time, and suddenly.
Yep - the time is the biggest unknown - Once He returns, it's game over.
Don't know if I should hope for it to happen in my remaining time or be glad if it doesn't...gonna be a rough ride heading into it.
My friend don’t be salty... every generation did not live in an EXPONENTIAL day as ours... We have internet and not smoke signals.... we have Nuclear bombs and not spears and cannons.. etc... The whole world is raging and there is no more room to hide. I don’t even have to mention the Bible or Messiah’s second coming. Its clear for all to see!
That verse refers to unbelievers... read it again my friend.
Shalom!
