The purpose of this message is not to create a debate as to anyone’s belief about whether or not the last election was rigged or stolen, but rather the real reason for its outcome. This controversy has no middle of the road, as there are strong feelings on both sides. The real answer is not the final results but rather Who was actually in charge. (all emphasis mine)
Going to Matthew 10:29, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.”
Romans 13:1; “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”
Finally, one disclaimer to the above verse is found in Acts 5:29; “But Peter and the apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.'”
While there seems to be an obvious discrepancy here, the meaning of both passages actually tells us to follow the directions of our leaders, until those directions are opposed to the word of the Lord. God’s will is to prevail in all matters. Some of the “beliefs and actions” of our new administration fall into the class of being “abominable,” as we were warned about by the Father. God does not expect us to go against Him to please the radicals. It may even get to a point very soon that we may be arrested for our beliefs. According to Matthew 10:19, “When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak, or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.”
There are places in the world today that just being a believer can mean martyrdom. Once the evil one comes forth, that will be worldwide. Thankfully, today’s true believers will not be here when he takes over.
Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord; plans for welfare, and not evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God knows the exact minute that His wrath/tribulation on this earth will commence. Prior to that, all of Jesus’ flock, all over the world, will be removed to be kept from that terrible 7-year period of time (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 and Revelation 3:10). What we’re witnessing today is just a prelude to this. Satan believes he is in total control and wants you to believe this also. He is totally mistaken.
Isaiah 46:9-10; “Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose.”
Things from “ancient times” would most likely be prophecies that had not been fulfilled in Isaiah’s time. In today’s age, all but just a few have been completed, and with 100% accuracy. The next biggest event will be the Rapture. That is how we will avoid going through the wrath.
People who dispute God’s word need to see Proverbs 19:21; “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
Remember the shock of the liberal left when Donald Trump came out of the woodwork and won the previous election? Even though he was challenged every day, he was allowed a period of time that gave this country some breathing room. One main accomplishment he did that no one else was even willing to try was that he honored Israel in accordance with Genesis 12. During his administration, other world leaders had a certain respect for our country for those few years.
Then, everything turned around in this past election. Our elected officials are going back to disrespecting Israel, and God’s word is being trampled on. Does anyone believe the Father is surprised by any of this? Actually, I believe He is responsible for all current events, as this era is almost over. As a so-called “major superpower,” we are becoming a joke to those in this world who hate us.
All the signs given by Jesus, Paul, John, Peter, James and others throughout the Bible are here right now, and for the first time ever, they are happening all at once. Those who are non-believers are ignoring the inerrant word of the Lord. Is the Locust crisis in Africa all the way to China a coincidence? How about earthquakes occurring in various places, some that have never had such activity before? Volcanic activity is on the brink of some major disasters, and changing weather patterns are becoming obvious. All the attitudes that Paul spoke of in 2 Timothy 3 are prevalent worldwide. His statement in 2 Timothy 3:1 holds true; “But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty.”
Our Heavenly Father does not take delight in seeing us suffer, and just as He finally closed the door to the Ark to protect Noah and his family, one day soon He will close the door on this generation and allow the Tribulation to begin. Meanwhile, 2 Peter 3:9 is evident; “The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
Though it may seem that everything is hopeless and bleak, please remember how much our God loves His children. All who receive and accept His Son, Jesus, as given in Romans 10:9-13, will be saved.
Going to Romans 8:38-39, we see the extent that His love provides for us. “For I am sure that neither death nor life; nor angels nor rulers; nor things present nor things to come; nor powers, nor height nor depth; nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.”
All who will not receive and accept the gift Jesus gave at Calvary are in for a very miserable time. It will be extremely difficult to become a Christian during the Tribulation, although the Bible states there will be those that do so. They will most likely be killed for their belief.
With whatever time we have left before Jesus calls us Home, we need to be in prayer for all souls that are lost. We need to thank the Father that He is absolutely true to His word, and the signs He is showing us should bring joy and hope to us. We could be going home at any moment now.
To see the details of the Rapture, please go to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. To see the prophecies about the end of this era, see Matthew 24; Luke 21 and 2 Timothy 3, just for starters. Also, 2 Peter 3 and 1 John 2 through 5 give a wealth of information. Everything here is almost like reading today’s headlines.
It’s totally each person’s choice to be part of Jesus’ flock or not. Just consider the consequences of being left behind and ultimately being at the Great White Throne Judgment of Revelation 20:11-15. Jesus will force no one to be His, but likewise, He will turn no one away who truly calls on Him to be their Savior. Your choice – Your eternity.
There’s no other way; no other options. John 14:6, Acts 4:12 and Romans 8:1 are specific about this. Remember, there is nothing you have done that cannot be forgiven. The unforgivable sin right now is to not have Jesus as your Savior when you take your last breath on this earth. During the Tribulation, willingly taking the mark of the beast will be unforgivable as well. As stated, today’s believers will not have to face that decision.
God is patient, but His patience will not last much longer. There are places in the world where people are coming to Christ in record numbers, but America and Europe are not among them. Thing is, quit being distressed because of the election outcome, and be prepared to meet the Savior in the air. For His flock, no one can take that away from us.
Hope to see you at Jesus’ Feet – Maranatha!
