I’d love to write about happy things. About a beautiful life. Families tight and communities strong. Where towns and cities were small, and the elder members of flourishing families were sought out to settle the disputes and instruct the young how to live. Where family and friends gathered together in houses where hearty laughter was common and bountiful harvests were shared. Sickness rare because there was no tampering with the earth, the seeds or the skies. I could go on but you might think my head was in the clouds.
This world is anything but free, healthy and good. I added this preface because what follows is the article I finished yesterday but went to bed worried that I’d written such a depressing piece. This is what I wrote:
**********************
When the curtain falls on this age, and he that letteth “lets” until he be taken out of the way, I wonder at the transformation of the power structure immediately following our departure.
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thess. 2:6-10 kjv
You would have to be familiar with the meaning of this Biblical passage to understand my curiosity. If you have read any of my previous posts you will notice that I take a literalist view of the 1611 King James Bible. I’m not messing around with self acclaimed critics bent towards serial corrections of the Word of Truth, however magniloquent their interpretations appear.
Who is “he that letteth” that is hindering the progress of the revelation of that Wicked one? First, a reminder of who personifies this iniquitous creature that much has been written about.
The inner circle of the mystery of iniquity, aka Mystery Babylon, powers, principalities, the rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places — all of whom are positioned above the sheepled debt slaves in the image above — are working feverishly to consolidate wealth and power in the hands of an elect few (in comparison to our numbers) and, through the art of deception and manipulation, will emerge from the coming wreckage of humanity to bring the world a savior.
One man in particular, the forerunner of this false Christ will be visible on every digital screen performing great signs and wonders and causing all, both small and great to worship this beast great world leader, as well as the image erected in his likeness. We know this man as the false prophet. The last one.
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. — Matt 7:15
This coming new world savior will be the ultimate Superhero, much like the great warrior kings of history but will be hailed as the one who will save the world in the end. In particular, he will carry the bloodline of Cain, manifest as the fourth beast of Daniel’s vision and be… dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; having great iron teeth and a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.
Does this fourth beast have anything to do with the fourth industrial revolution harmonious with The Great Reset, the NWO? According to Schwabby baby…
When compared with previous industrial revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.
It’s pretty clear when looking at their sectional pyramid who will do the producing. However, by that time the Little Sheeple™, surviving the disappeared useless eaters, will love their servitude and be quite happy owning nothing. Middle management will continue to mid-manage within each of their prospective levels. And its govenor? Well…
The governance will be upon his shoulder: and his name is called that serpent of old, the deceiver, the great red dragon, the Devil and Satan, who gives his power unto the Beast.
Of the increase of his governance and peace treaty: forty and two months; to sit upon the throne of Solomon (at his end reign); and his kingdom will he establish with great subtilty as from the beginning, and shall tread under foot the holy city, make war against the saints (again) and kill them. But of his end, the world hath not seen nor ever shall see what great destruction befalleth him. The Beast, the False Prophet and all those who loved not the truth will follow him into perdition (Italics and rewording entirely mine).
The WEF and courtesans of the bloody Church of Rome have no idea.
*************
For all the talk of positivity and optimism generated among the privileged classes, and the belief that we are heading towards utopia, where man will achieve his divine purpose; where war and fear will end; the lion will lay down with the lamb and the little child will play on the hole of the asp… the reality is far, far different. Oh, a bright new age is coming but before that one arrives cataclysmic peril faces all who rejected the gift of salvation freely attained by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in this one.
We are indeed living in the “last days” the Apostle Paul referred to before this present, evil world comes to an end.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. — 2 Tim 3:1-4
It’s much worse than that now. The vile deeds of men are too horrific to even mention.
In times past before the cross, Paul told of an age that men in their ignorance lived as he pleased, thinking that the Godhead was like unto gold, and silver, and stone, graven by art and man’s devices; which God winked at. But now, commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him (Christ) from the dead. — Acts 17:29-31
God suffered men to walk in their own ways, not excusing them or relieving them of accountability, but holding off judgement and offering the world salvation freely by the death, burial and resurrection of his dear Son, which satisfied his judgment upon sin up to this present time.
When the prophetic work of the cross was finished, and the risen Lord converted Saul on the road to Damascus, progressively revealing the mystery kept secret since the world began (Rom 16:25), Saul, now the Apostle Paul, became the pattern for all who would hereafter believe and repent of the ignorance in times past, and come unto the knowledge of the truth… the truth of who God is, and that understanding and wisdom are freely given to all who study to shew themselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God would have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus… not priests, not popes, not healers… Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
We are being held to a different standard of accountability in this period of grace. God is no longer winking at man’s willful ignorance, but will judge every one of us by our acceptance or rejection of his Son, and by the message revealed to that thirteenth apostle.
We believers are told to put on the mind of Christ, preach the word in season, out of season; reproving, rebuking, exhorting with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. Does this not sound like the churches today? Catholic and Protestant alike?
Paul returns to believing saints:
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister. — Col. 1:21-23
Do you also not notice how entirely different this doctrine is from what is taught in churches today? I don’t go anymore because the King James Bible and the fellowship of the mystery is not heard anymore.
Consider where we are today.
We’ve had Darwinism for over one hundred years; the Bible in English for over four hundred. The Good Book says we started in paradise and we’re heading toward a lake of fire (except for the merciful intervention of the cross of Christ). Darwin says we started in a puddle and we’re heading for paradise. Look at the evidence around you. I challenge you, which one of those claims doesn’t fit the picture? This New Reset coming our way will see a lot of bloodshed and war, not a golden age.
It’s not just adults making stupid and selfish decisions. We’re forcing evil on innocent children. God will not suffer long offending these little ones. When he looks down and sees nothing but violence and corruption from one end of the earth to the other, know that we’re in the same mess as before when God destroyed the earth in Noah’s time.
Paul said in the last days things would get worse and worse. He didn’t say revivals were coming; your best life now. He didn’t say there would be peace on earth or world unity. He told Timothy the world would become a dangerous place. Christ called it distress among the nations with perplexity.
For men shall be what? Lovers of their own selves. Covetous. Without natural affection. Truce-breakers. That sounds pretty selfish to me. God is not a man that he should lie. Men are liars. They break their marriage vows. Hide their lust for other women. They cower in the face of corruption all around them. They love pleasure rather than truth. There’s no fear of God in them. But they fear men. They’ll put on a mask and close their businesses if the big boys tell ‘em to.
Weak. Utterly shameful. It’s called the pride of life.
Men, who should be strong and wise, leaders in their homes, permit women to run circles around them. Many refuse to grow up, choosing to spend their days calculating the best retirement plans, playing with their big boy toys, subdued by the sports entertainment gods, and hoarding up treasures for themselves so to be remembered by their children.
Reminds me of the rich man Christ spoke about:
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. — Luke 12:15-21
Self-love. This is the character of men that have an outward appearance of caring for others, but inwardly their lives consist of loving themselves first and foremost. These are the unbelievers.
For us who understand from studying and believing God’s word, this age is quickly coming to a close. Why are there so many movies and books with superheroes saving the world? Superman, Avengers, Marvel, Dune series. In March, Dune: Part Two will depict yet another savior for a world in distress.
The programming and conditioning is endless. They’re setting us up for the next and bigger world crisis and getting closer to their desired end. They know many have been prepping and moving to (hoping for) safer ground but they’ve got that covered too. Through their control of smart technology, they’ve weaponized everything against us.
Think your smart meter is simply a convenience and not an incendiary box? Riiight. Got your house smarter lately for FOMO? How comfortable you must feel. You’re doing all the right things, making Big Brother proud (hehe).
Buy and sell? Travel? Not without your jab passport. Disease X, Y and Z are just waiting to be released.
The first priority of these madmen is less of us to manage:
"War and famine would not do. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved. AIDS is not an efficient killer because it is too slow. My favorite candidate for eliminating 90% of the world’s population is airborne Ebola (Ebola Reston) because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. We’ve got airborne diseases with 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that. You know, the bird flu’s good, too. For everyone who survives, he will have to bury nine." — Dr. Eric Pianka, eugenicist
Kill Gates would consider that “a really good job!”
So now we return to the “he that letteth.”
A careful study within the context informs us that the “he” is the Holy Spirit within the believing church, which is the body of Christ. It is not a building nor a religion but a spiritual, quickened body of true saints in every nation, sealed by the Spirit of Promise the moment each member first trusted the gospel. The seal marks us for capture out of here the moment that last person places his faith in Christ. IOW, God’s appointed time. For no man knoweth the day nor the hour.
With the believing saints and the Holy Spirit gone, that Order of Anti-Christ will be fully operating and those who remain on earth will give their allegiance to it as recorded in 2 Thessalonians, chapter two.
Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow is the day of judgment.
… despiseth thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; who will render to every man according to his deed:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile.
But honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. — Rom 2:4-11, kjv
The entire chapter of Isaiah 24 is timely and applicable to your excellent article. The Chapter describes the condition of the earth, and especially the land of Palestine/Israel/Jerusalem during the coming Great Tribulation/Time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7-8)(Obadiah 1:12). It will be wasted by judgement until at the Second Coming of Christ, the nations of the earth will be broken (Isaiah 24:21)(Daniel 2:44-45). After this has come to pass, "The Lord of Hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously". *Notice the present tense used, as is frequently the case in the Bible for the future, in order to express something that is absolutely certain to occur. Here are just a few verses from Isaiah 24. 1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited." Therefore, "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2)(Isaiah 49:8).
Dawn - I was brought up in a Bible (KJV) believing and preaching church and I came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 20. I well know the verses you shared in this essay and I know pastors are still disputing if the TRUE Church (the body of believers in the finished work of Jesus on the cross at Calvary) will be spirited into the heavenlies PRIOR to the 7 years of "great tribulation" - I will leave all of that "disputation" to the clergy. I am just praying throughout each and every day for God's will to be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN (from the Disciples Prayer the Lord Jesus gave to the original 12 disciples while He ministered here on earth).
Bless you for being a faithful sharer of The Word.
I will guy you a cup of "whatever" you enjoy right now!!
