A whole generation of self-professed ‘Christians’ are watching end-times events and eagerly awaiting a pre-Trib rapture. They have failed to stand for righteousness, as our culture grows darker and more wicked, because they hold the hopeful expectation that they will be ‘outta here’ before end-times events transpire. They don’t believe they will ever see the face of the ‘man of sin’, or be faced with the choice of whether or not they should take the ‘Mark of the Beast’. They are sure they know the signs to look for, because they watched the entire ‘Left Behind’ series–maybe even twice. What I’m going to say, they are probably not going to be able to receive, because it would mean that much of what they have been taught–maybe even most of it–was wrong.
Please pray before you read the rest of what I have to say. Please ask God if it is true. Don’t merely accept it because it sounds ‘good’ or ‘true’ . . . or reject it because it doesn’t sound right. Please pray and ask God yourself. MANY people are going to be swept up in the great delusion, in the days to come. Yes, it can happen to believers too. Don’t be one of them. Love the truth enough to pray and ask God, and to study the Scriptures yourself.
What follows are my OBSERVATIONS and OPINIONS. I cannot guarantee that things are going to unfold the way I think–but I have studied this for several years, and my opinions are not uninformed. Let this note be the basis for asking questions, and seeking their answers in prayerful study of the word.
For centuries, the end times events have been shrouded in mystery–and so they continue to be, even to this day. Even as these things are unfolding, one must have ‘eyes to see’ and ‘ears to hear’. It is not given to everyone to be aware, as Bible prophecy unfolds. WHO will be given ‘eyes to see’ and ‘ears to hear’? Those who serve God wholeheartedly, and with pure motives.
First, lets start with this: ‘New World Order’ is not in the Bible.
This may be a minor point . . . or it may not. But it must be pointed out. Many people, both Christian and non-, are looking for a ‘New World Order’ to be birthed, as the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. And this ‘New World Order’ has been given a definition, by many leaders of the ‘truther movement’. But this term, and its definition, are not exactly what the Bible defines. If we do not want to diverge from the truth, then we must stick with Scripture. Daniel 7, and Revelation 13 and 17 describe the final ‘beast’ world empire.
Point number two: this generation of ‘WWJD’/’Left Behind’ fans are being deliberately drawn into a ‘truther’ movement that may have started out right, but has deliberately been hijacked to serve the plans of Satan. Leaders, the likes of Alex Jones and David Icke, have been positioned by the enemy to deliberately mislead them. Great drama is provided daily, to those who follow Jones. He throws in a few token references to ‘God’ to keep these folks on the hook. Day after day, stories are spun and the false scenario is drilled into the heads of his followers. (Well . . . it’s not all COMPLETELY false . . . just misleading.)
According to Jones’ scenario, the current elite are building the New World Order (which all assume to be the final ‘beast’ government the Bible predicts). These folks are the epitome of evil, even performing human sacrifices. They seek to depopulate the world, are deliberately releasing pandemics via vaccinations, destroying our food supply through GMO foods, and even spraying us like cockroaches via chemtrails. All this may be true. I do believe that Satan recruited these folks over the last 70-100 or so years. Certain families hold the power and are deeply involved in occult practices. Over the last 10-20 years, their wickedness has grown beyond imagination. They seem to be so intoxicated with their power and sin, that now they are performing their wickedness in plain view, as though nothing could stop them. Even people in the sheltered Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia have heard of, and hate, the Illuminati.
But here is why it matters that the Bible doesn’t say there will be a ‘New World Order’: we have no clear confirmation from Scripture that the New World Order these folks are bent on creating will be the final ‘beast’ empire. In other words: although many people believe ‘this is it’, this may NOT be it.
Here is my view: Satan promised the current elite a place at the table, in his final government. He didn’t tell them they will be the main course. He told them that the New World Order would spring forth from chaos. He didn’t tell them that revolution of the people against THEM would be the chaos that propels his government into power. He told them he would rise from the ashes. He didn’t tell them it would be THEIR corpses burning.
Do you get what I’m saying? Satan is using them . . . grooming them . . . letting them fully express every evil inspiration he gives them . . . and then he is going to sacrifice them . . . ‘throw them under the bus’ . . . so that he can rise to power, looking like a good guy . . . the one who saved us from THEM. And it’s not just presidents and business moguls that Satan has worked hard to corrupt. He has been hard at work recruiting many who stand in pulpits throughout this nation. Many televangelists are also in his pocket.
You see, he has to create a ‘foil’ against which he can look good. Compared to Biblical values, he’s still going to be obviously evil. But by working hard for decades, to get people to reject Biblical values . . . and by working hard to create an evil ‘bogeyman’ (the current elite and corrupt ‘Christians’) . . . he’s really going to shine when he arrives. I believe his world empire will be bathed in angelic light . . . wear the clean, fresh garments of a Mormon . . . and have the baby face of Joel Osteen . . . at least, until the blood of true Christians begins to flow.
When the revolution comes, the mantra will be for change, love, peace, and tolerance . . . to do away with the ‘haters’, the hypocrites, the greedy, and the war-mongers–Christians included. Apostate Christianity is going to diverge into two directions: the corrupt, whose faces will be on the ‘wanted’ posters, along with the current elite . . . and the ‘tolerant’, emergent-church type, who will be on board with the change. The ‘tolerant’, apostate so-called ‘Christians’ will have to swing far in the other direction, to prove their allegiance to the new empire.
Jones and Icke, along with others, are fully preparing their followers to be swept up in this revolution . . . and to accept the son of perdition when he rises from the ashes. Many Christians-in-name-only are going to be on the wrong side of things, and zealous for the cause. At their hands, many true Christians will be betrayed.
We must be reminded: we are not called to overthrow the New World Order. We are told that a ‘beast’ global empire WILL arise. It will arise, because it is the will of God for this to be so. It is part of His plan, for the testing of mankind, the purification of the saints, and the punishment of the wicked.
Our part is not to trust in revolution, politics, or impeachment to save us. OUR part is to repent, and to walk in holiness. IF it be the will of God to postpone these events, or to lengthen the days until their fulfillment, then so be it. But the only hope we have, for that to occur, is that we repent and live as ambassadors of Christ. And the only hope we have, of not being caught up in the deception, is to do the same.
