We in the United States of America are at a crossroad. The direction we choose to take will determine either a soon future of continuous but dwindling freedom or total tyranny.

Make no mistake, the devil does exist and he wants total control. The worst tyrant the world has ever seen will soon arise seemingly from nowhere, and he will catch the world completely off guard.

Satan has long been prophesied to have a date with total tyranny in the person of the Antichrist at a time appointed by Almighty God. The devil has been working toward his allotted reign for thousands of years. The good news is—as Satan will soon discover—Almighty God is in total control and He will permanently defeat Satan at the end of the age.

However, in the short term, if Satan wants to control everyone, then he needs to take away their independence. America has long been defined as the place where independence can be achieved through hard work.

As of now in the United States of America, the able-bodied majority still remain capable of working and providing their own sustenance.

If the majority can feed themselves, then they’re less likely to yield to illogical requirements which would take away many of their personal freedoms and privacy. Satan is well aware of this, and he’s been working on a subtle plan that extorts human greed for his ultimate diabolical purpose.

The devil has been slowly whittling away at the financial freedom of average Americans for decades. Again, he’s well familiar with the old adage, “Never bite the hand that feeds you.” He has often used socialism/communism over the centuries as a means to take away freedom and gain more control over national majorities.

The most obvious and effective way Satan has been working toward his goal of implementing total tyranny in America is by driving the average American toward socialism. In order to achieve this, the average American must be led into impossible personal financial situations.

If America votes for the extremists in the next election who are touting their own grand version of socialism, the final nail will be hammered into America’s coffin of independence.

As most of us will admit, greed is a sin present within all human beings to be nurtured or deprived based upon the will of each individual. In short, most of us usually want more. Even though we may want something more, we can still choose to be content with what we have.

If we are born-again believers, then we can choose to be content with what the Lord has provided for us on a daily basis. However, for those who do not follow the will of God, greed can become a powerful and destructive weapon.

For those in the upper echelons of power, their greed has become a means to our end. We need to look no further than the rising cost of living a basic life, compared with stagnant wage growth.

For an eye-opening look, let’s compare historical median new home sales prices with median household incomes in a few examples:

In 1984 median U.S. household annual income was approximately $50,000 ^[2] while the median new home sale price was approximately $80,000.

In 1994 median U.S. household annual income was approximately $52,500 ^[2] while the median new home sale price was approximately $130,000.

In 2004 median U.S. household annual income was approximately $57,000 ^[2] while the median new home sale price was approximately $220,000.

In 2014 median U.S. household annual income was approximately $55,000 ^[2] while the median new home sale price was approximately $290,000.

And as of July 2019, the most current data available shows median U.S. household annual income is approximately $61,000, while the median new home sale price is approximately $320,000.

As you can see, the average cost of buying a new home has far surpassed average income. Costs of other essentials such as food, utilities, automobiles, etc., also follow similar trends when compared with income levels.

No wonder there’s so much debt among the current generations which still have to work, eat, sleep, and provide for their families. Wow!

Most of the current younger generation did not have the opportunity to purchase a home or an automobile at a reasonable price, when compared to their income, and then remain in that home or keep that car with the goal of paying it off.

By now, you have likely realized how Satan is driving the average hard-working American toward an impossible financial situation. What happens if or when all of that debt incurred by average Americans trying to live a nominal life is called in?

Did the average American still have a choice over the past twenty or so years not to incur certain debts? In most cases the answer is yes. However, average Americans are still human, and humans make mistakes, including financial mistakes, even while their intentions may not have risen to the pinnacle of greed in the highest places.

In other cases, many Americans may have incurred housing debts noncongruent with greed, and instead, based solely upon circumstances beyond their control. Here’s an example of how prices may have played a role in limiting the purchasing power of average Americans to have the capital necessary to provide for adequate housing, vehicles, utilities, clothing, food, etc., without accruing unreasonable debt:

Average Cost of a New Car

1930 $600.00

1940 $850.00

1950 $1,510.00

1960 $2,600.00

1970 $3,450.00

1980 $7,200.00

1990 $16,950.00

2008 $27,958

2013 $31,352 ^[3]

Average Cost of a Loaf of Bread

1930 9 cents

1940 10 cents

1950 12 cents

1960 22 cents

1970 25 cents

1980 50 cents

1990 70 cents

2008 $2.79

2013 $1.98 ^[3]

Average Cost 1 lb Hamburger Meat

1930 12 cents

1940 20 cents

1950 30 cents

1960 45 cents

1970 70 cents

1980 99 cents

1990 89 cents

2009 $3.99

2013 $4.68 ^[3]

And none of the statistics above have factored in the rising costs of healthcare and education. Also, refer to the average income in congruence with cost of living essentials such as housing and food.

There’s no need to adjust for inflation when looking at the raw data—it speaks for itself. All of us over a certain age are fully aware of our income compared to our cost of living.

Wealth isn’t increasing; it’s debt disguised as wealth that’s increasing.

There’s way too much stuff to buy and way too much credit to buy it with. It will be a dark day when the debt is called in.

But wait, there’s “hope” on the horizon for the average American burdened by such debt – a new socialist government that promises to alleviate certain debts in exchange for certain freedoms.

This will ultimately lead to total dependence on the government for everything, including healthcare via a universal income for all. This will then remove the incentive to achieve independence through hard work because total dependence will be the new American way.

With an American populace totally dependent on the government for their own livelihoods, they will then have no choice but to succumb to total tyranny.

Hate Speech

Darkness is spreading across the earth at light speed.

If darkness is the machine, then apostasy is the fuel.

Things that were once right are now wrong.

Things that were once wrong are now right.

Satan is rapidly gaining ground in the minds of millions by replacing God’s moral code with a false moral code of his own—through apostasy—turning away from the truth.

Satan does not have omnipotent creative power like that of the Lord God, so he counterfeits the works and ways of Almighty God. Since God has a true moral code mandated in His Word, Satan has a false moral code mandated in his world.

For those in the world who hate the truth of God, the ultimate goal has been accomplished: telling the truth is now defined as hate speech.

Hate speech is anything that speaks out against Satan’s false moral code. In Satan’s false moral code, everything has become twisted around backwards—inside out.

The opposite of truth is now truth—and truth is now hate.

Satan’s false moral code: The Greatest Sin of All – Hate Speech

Abortion = choice – truth.

Abortion = murder – misogynistic hate speech.

True Islam put into practice = a religion of peace – truth.

True Islam put into practice = religious fascism – Islamophobic hate speech.

True Christianity put into practice = hate speech – true.

True Christianity put into practice = love – hate speech.

Guns = kill people – truth.

Guns = defend people—people kill people – hate speech.

Unchecked Immigration = no issues at all – truth.

Unchecked Immigration = safety/infrastructure issues – xenophobic hate speech.

White people = all are born racists – truth.

White people = not all are born racists – hate speech.

Homosexuality = godly love – truth.

Homosexuality = sin – homophobic hate speech.

Truth that condemns Satan’s moral code is identified as hate speech. Anything that calls for repentance from what God identifies as sin is condemned as hate speech. How much longer will it be until the gospel is legally identified as hate speech?

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6).

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).

It has now become a thing of honor to declare your private sin out in the open in order to demand acceptance of your sin from your peers.

There may be private sins, but to make those sins public and to force others to accept them is against God’s Word:

“It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak” (Romans 14:21).

It’s wrong to go out and teach and preach what you formerly believed to be sin as now suddenly acceptable to God.

So many love to quote their favorite Bible verse completely out of context. They actually flaunt their love for sin as a holy boldness:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

The meaning and context of this oft-quoted verse can be clearly seen by simply reading the very next verse.

It most certainly isn’t loving to cause others to sin. It most certainly isn’t bold to join in with the big crowd already accepting of your sin.

No… it’s actually powerful, loving, and courageous to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to a hostile and hateful world:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God” (2 Timothy 1:7-8).

The apostle Paul did not suffer for promoting sin; he suffered for promoting the cure.

Those who call attention to their “courage” when identifying as homosexual are cowardly attempting to use sympathy as a covering for their blatant sin.

The longer that the last lost sheep our loving Heavenly Father has counted among the fullness of Gentiles is left wandering around without the gospel, is the longer we have to endure this sin-darkened planet.

“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Romans 11:25).

The body of Christ needs to get up off its collective behind and find those last few precious lost sheep that the Father is patiently waiting to be found.

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise (of judgment), as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

Soon the Lord will finally remove all of those who chose to be stumbling blocks within the paths of others who only wanted to follow Christ:

“The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:41-42).

The moment that last soul is saved—completing the numbered elect of the church age—the final show will begin.

Coming soon to a planet near you… God’s wrath.

“In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-10).
