It is with some sadness and trepidation that I look forward.
Some truths still hold. I am a christian, it is my main identification. Not conservative, or dog breeder or grandmother or even,,,writer. Donald Trump is still President. Israel still stands, despite a worldwide conspiracy to destroy them, The world grows darker with every hour. And I am not just talking about winter. It is easy to miss what is important with so much noise, so much narcissistic blather. First, a report on abuse of women and children by independent Baptist ministers.This follows reports on Catholic priests, cult leaders, and others. I am sickened by these crimes. and every christian person who did this, or who covered up for a monster, in the name of the faith.... shame on you, the millstones are ready and the sea is deep. This comes down to money, the money a thriving church can earn, the money made by staff including pastors. and the trust put in certain persons by parents who are loyal to a institution, and forgot their role.as guardians.No, one does not always know there are monsters. But if your child says ..things happened... follow up. If a rumor comes about a person's past, follow up,and if a pastor regularly targets teenagers for pastoral counseling... follow up. It should be obvious this is a concerted attack..and that we let this wolf in the door. It should also be obvious we are now placed in the same basket with Hollywood, with politicians and people of importance, who have been called out in the me too movement.We are now criminals... here's the proof. It will come back to haunt us. These evil doers have undermined any good will the Church might have among the unbelieving.That they were allowed to get away with it, casts doubt on every member of every church they were involved with.and we, who are not involved with these crimes, will pay a heavy price.. I was warned early on, as a christian and a mother of a small child, to never get invested with a pastor in what is called the cult of personality. Fame does not guarantee sanctity. Excitement is not necessarily of the Holy Spirit and blind obedience to a man,any man,is not the same as following Jesus Christ. Did people follow Paul, and Peter, and John? yes, and Paul called them out on it. there is only the gospel. one gospel not individual schools of thought.Peter finally wrote a letter. saying that what Paul taught was scripture...he did not allow a schism. these wonderful men, the Apostles, left us with enough to learn and grow and complete our walk, without any re intepretation. If you are ruled,not taught...run away. Several events that look..unrelated, may in fact answer some of those pesky eschatology ( study of prophecy) questions. 1 Russian is building more war machines. of all kinds. and extending their reach to various countries, in their quest to rule the energy sector. 2. Israel is moving against her enemies.Strangely, they bring up threats of charges against Netanyahu constantly..just as they do Donald Trump.Meanwhile, they have a huge energy deal in the works...pipelines. They could supply much of Europe. 3. The US can now export oil, become the biggest producer of certain kinds of crude. Shale oil. 4. In January, Democrats will control the House. that they will waste their time with impeachment efforts and other feel good re-election soundbites is certain. It isn;t as if republicans have ever truly fought back, since Newt Gingrich in the time of Clinton. If Israel comes close to getting energy flowing to Europe, Russia has to respond. They have tied their economic future to being energy czars..pun intended. Putin has given the people pride in themselves, Revived the Russian Orthodox church, while missionaries of other christian groups are.. deterred. It's about symbolism, not actual belief. If they choose to attack Israel, we now have a House that will refuse to sign any war powers act, out of hatred for President Trump, and hatred of Israel. the republicans are mute, sheep using a position to obtain the good life for themselves. If we cannot go to Israel's aid the world will turn their backs, believing it's a done deal. So that is how even the best friend of Israel might fail to stop the Gog Magog war. not because of a war, or tragedy of nature...just self serving people in our House of Representatives.Yes,elections do have consequences. It's now a possible scenario ( for those who have not read about this, a coalition will attack Israel, but die in the mountains, destroyed by God.Ezekiel 38) they will burn the weapons for 7 years . That;s a lot of weapons. While we race to the finish line tearing down our republic, a last gasp is being heard and seen in Europe. Suddenly, globalism and climate change and immigration are ..too much Freedom of speech.. money earned. all is being lost to this insane group.. led by the EU and the UN.The yellow vests are protesting. It will not last. I find it interesting that the chess pieces continue to be put in place, but God has not allowed the total darkness yet. The earth sings.Across the planet, a sound was heard. not like other earthquakes, but it covered a huge swath of territory. We who believe know the earth groans under the weight of the curse. We know that, as active as Satan is, tearing down every institution that has guarded man from himself. the timing for the end is in God's hands. If ever Christians should be out telling people the truth about God, the hope of the Gospel, it is now, this moment of unrest before the world slams every person in their one world prison.Once the Gog Magog war unfolds, who can deny that God is real? and that Israel has the right to exist? yet, they will. I am certain that things will have shifted yet again by next year. I am hoping we get that beautiful call from Heaven..come on home! |
