It is certain to come. The Scripture requires it. Is it here now? Is there worse to come?
As I ponder what is happening in the land of the brave and the home of the free, I can’t help but wonder are we in these days about which scripture speaks, when God lifts restraint from the already free and allows them even more bravery in the freedom of their minds toward evil. And if this is the case what could we expect?
Men in this country, and in the western world have had more chance than most of those who preceded our time, and yet they do not choose Him.
In the last days perilous times will come.
2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (KJV)
These are the days of Elijah. The false prophets of Baal are overrunning the land.
2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (KJV)
They are fools, thinking that they have the moral high ground. Thinking that they themselves are responsible for the creation.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. John 16:2 KJV
These are things that are definitely happening in our world. China, Africa and the Mid East are persecuting believers. Some are being put to death. Some have recanted their faith. In this country as we would expect we are behind in these things, but the mind set is here. Is it spreading?Of course it is, we see the evidence every day. Something is happening to the minds of the earth’s citizen without Christ. His freedom has come to the point of lawlessness. If the battle is for the mind, then the people are choosing another god, one who they love as much as we love Jesus, and our heavenly Father.
So if this is true now, what is to come?
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:17
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:10-11 KJV
Our love for Christ will be tested. It is being tested even today. Should we choose to suffer for Christ rather than to deny Him, that will only come about because He abides in us, and because we in Him are empowered to do so. We are nothing without Him.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (KJV)
Amen. I believe that God is giving us favor because we still love, at least some of us. The Jewish people.
I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you. Paraphrasing. God still is the protector of israel.
Thank you for your post

Thank you for the good comment. We are all favored who are His. Amen. But He will soon conclude this age, and allow the things prophesied to come to pass on earth. All this to bring about the answer to the prayer that He taught us. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven… before it happens His people will long for it. Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (KJV)

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
2Th 2:4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
2Th 2:5 Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming
The Day is upon us… The Lawless One must be revealed…
It is a Day for us walk with Him as never before… Bless you
BT
