Are they at the same time turning against God and Country? Today is definitely a time of great deception for even believing mankind. I am concerned for my fellow believers (among them my own family members, with certainly some exceptions), who because of circumstance have no time to analyze what is occurring in the world around them. This is one of the reasons I continue to write this blog. Hoping that one day they will see fit to really become serious with God.

The things occurring in our time do determine our time from a Biblical standpoint. But if for whatever reason we overlook what is happening; then our thinking is uninformed.

Being uninformed in investments can cause us to be in dire straits in our future. In politics being uninformed can and has led entire countries into ruin. Being uninformed and unconnected to God leads one astray in life choices with eternal consequences.

In order to stay informed, I listen even to people whom I disagree with. I do this prayerfully, because God’s Spirit is our teacher. His word is our text. Today we have those who are professing a belief in God, who claim to have teachers from another dimension, who claim to be alien life forms. We also have teachers expressing belief in God who believe that we are evolving to a higher state of consciousness which will make the world a better place, as it will leave behind many who refuse to move on. Many mix Eastern religion, as they are perhaps unknowingly following principles from Buddha or other foreign gods. I constantly hear the term “Karma” being used by believers. This is an eastern religious term, which means basically that one will reap what one sows, but it also is associated with reincarnation, which is as unChristian as Buddha himself. The resurrection purchased for us by Jesus, not reincarnation is the message of the gospel.

Seeing what I am seeing and believing God for the important wisdom of our time, it is necessary for me to say that today the Christian needs to repent before we will ever see a change in the world around us.

So what should we expect as we move forward? We are in an election season that has the potential to change everything, but will it? If our hope is in God and we call on Him in repentance then God will deliver us. Man cannot do that. Donald Trump could win this election and the country could still be lost. Having stated that it is my firm belief that if Donald Trump loses and the congress is also lost; then God will have spoken judgment on America. If the election is postponed for whatever reason, I believe that there is still hope, for God is in that circumstance speaking to us to pray. If however Biden, who can by no means other than Fraud win this election, but should he still win, with again no allowable challenges in the courts; then it seems apparent that God is allowing things to progress toward the biblically prophesied ending for this age.

If you believe that that means rapture you need to be able to answer the questions that are presented elsewhere on this blog. If you believe that that means an extended period of coming peace with Christian influences throughout the world; then explain what you are now seeing. If for you that means evolutionary changes and a linkage with AI bringing you to a likeness unto God; then it may already be too late for you.

Finally, if you believe that Jesus warned us that many will fall away from Him (the Way and the Truth) and that others must endure unto the end to be saved.

If you believe Matthew 24:7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. (NASB1995), and you believe that this could not have been accomplished as described for that generation that saw Jesus die, but that it then must be for a future generation that would see all of these signs as Jesus described them; then you are doing well.

If you believe: Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. (NASB1995); and as a result you are not taken aback by the hatred by all nations toward believers in Jesus such as yourself; then as that time progresses you will endure. And if you do not you will fulfill the prophesied falling away of many. Deception is to not be understanding of what Jesus has and is telling you.

There is no way that present day Israel can fulfill these verses and not also fulfill the other verses pertaining to those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 12:5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. (NASB1995)

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. (NASB1995)

Galatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. (NASB1995)

Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. (NASB1995)

Philippians 3:3 for we are the [true] circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, (NASB1995)

Colossians 1:28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. (NASB1995)

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of [the] archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. (NASB1995)

In fact this is what is said of the Jews: 2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. (NASB1995)

Without being in Christ there is no salvation; no resurrection; no eternal life. Israel will come to see this when the whole world turns against her and her offspring the church.
