If you are paying attention to the world today you can see a lot of crime, inflation, government chaos, wars, money laundering and so much more. If you’re like me and don’t see it as a party problem it’s not about Democrats or Republicans they are both corrupt beyond measure.
History is full of times that were difficult believers, many millions of true believers are being persecuted and have been in generation to generation. But America has been living in some sort of bubble. Because of our Constitutional rights, we have had freedoms not enjoyed in our countries. Yet this seems to be changing, our Constitution s being stripped away by the government elites.
Today we see people being persecuted for standing for biblical, traditional values. The elites are targeting those who do not go along with their agenda.
If we believe the Bible, we know persecution will come. The question is whether we will see it in our lifetime. The world is so upside down right now it appears what Jesus prophesied about the end time is happening right before our eyes.
A one world government is on the rise of the man the Bible calls the “Antichrist” and even a mark required to buy and sell seem to be the obvious next steps resulting from the “great reset” that the World Economic Forum has called for.
We now live in a post Christian culture. Today, evil is called good and good called evil. That is the essence of the upside down world we live in.
Many believe that God still could raise up American but we still have to face the fact that the world is becoming more and more evil, and deserves judgement.
In Revelation 3:10 we have the promise,
“Because you have kept My command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
While it’s not fun to think about, but we may face persecution. Some have been canceled on social media for posting Bible verses, as well as many biblical teachers who have been posting for years without any issues, people are getting arrested for praying in public, and people have even lost their jobs for refusing to comply with heavy handed enforcement of woke policies.
The reality is we are in a spiritual war. And when the Tribulation comes, it will be the war of all wars. So, we must prepare for battle if we are to survive.
The world seems to be raging out of control, and most of what is happening seems beyond our understanding. We know everything is in chaos, but we don’t know what to do. Some compare this period of time in Germany when the Jewish people knew something was seriously wrong, but the Nazi agenda was too horrific for anyone to believe it could actually happen. They hoped the turmoil would blow over. But it did not -it got worse.
Though the world seems to be careening towards the last days, this is not the time to become discouraged. We have the Holy Spirit, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Moses told Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:8,
“The Lord Himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
I tell you this to prepare you not to alarm you.
