“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Prophecy is being fulfilled, and that can be a very frightening thing to watch if you don’t follow Biblical prophecy. The One World Order is almost here, and wickedness is taking over everything, including our pulpits. God’s truth is seldom honored, and people are turning away from Christianity. Jesus told us that things would get progressively worse as the final days approach.

When His disciples asked Him about the end of the age, Jesus told of things to come. Remember, they were not asking about the Rapture because they didn’t even know there would be an ekklesia (the church). They were more concerned about when Jesus would rule the world. Jesus answered their questions, and we can see the things He described are intensifying. Specifically, He was talking to Jewish men about the very end of days. Today, as we approach the Rapture, we can see the events coming into focus.

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11).

There are many, many false teachings in this world, and those who don’t know God’s truth are suckered in by their lies. All roads do not lead to Heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ will make a person righteous and able to stand before God. The Bible is the only place to find instructions for a life that honors God. It’s been described as Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Christianity isn’t a religion; it’s a way of life. Compare all things you hear or read to Scripture. If the teaching doesn’t line up with Scripture, trust Scripture and throw away the lie.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold’’ (Matthew 24:12).

Iniquity is a condition without law; contempt and violation of law, and wickedness. Do we see that coming about today? We certainly do. I still cannot wrap my mind around the violent riots that burned businesses and killed people, all because a criminal died at the hands of the police. That should never have happened, but the resulting iniquity was demonic and beyond evil. Then I think of the cold-hearted events against citizens of Israel on October 7, 2023, and I’m sickened. Not only was the attack pure evil, but the reaction of many people was cold-hearted iniquity. Bible prophecy tells us these things will happen, and we shouldn’t live in fear.

“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25).

Trust in the Lord, and show His love to others.

Many Christians are uninterested in prophecy, yet they watch the false prophets of the secular news media preaching their mistruths. Things that once were very confusing and hard to understand are becoming very clear. For years, people have said that prophecy is just allegory. As life unfolds, we can see that God’s word was and is truth. Things that were impossible to understand even 5 years ago are crystal clear now. For instance, the Mark of the Beast. When John was given the Revelation, how could anyone understand people receiving a mark that would allow a person to buy and sell? It wasn’t until 2019 that this mystery began to be clear. People were forced to take a shot and wear a mask. There is much controversy over the shot, and I believe it was all a ploy to make people trust government mandates rather than God.

“Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD” (Proverbs 29:26).

We now see many health issues that can be directly traced to the shot. Now, Elon Musk has a plan for his Starlink satellites. They are making a grid all around the world so everybody can be tracked and monitored. Soon, a tiny chip will be inserted into a person’s hand or forehead which will be read by these satellites. These chips will allow thoughts to be read and altered. Billy Crone has done much research on the subject, and here’s a link to some information from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzu9SILMBPA.

Now isn’t the time to turn away from God but to draw nearer and closer to Him. Scripture has been proven true many times, and Biblical prophecy is becoming clearer every day.

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” (2 Peter 1:19-20).

Why don’t people study Bible prophecy? It’s a very good witnessing tool. The coming one world leader is counting on the fact that “Christians” are ignorant of Scripture, especially prophecy. This coming world leader is powered by Satan, who is the father of lies. Don’t be ignorant of truth, or you will fall for his lies.

As I write this commentary, the WHO and the UN are meeting to conspire to become the rulers of the world. This will be a huge step in prophecy and making way for the Great Tribulation. America will soon vote for who we want to lead our nation for 4 more years. The takeover by the WHO has been in the works for a number of years, and Donald Trump removed the US from being a part of this organization. Unfortunately, Biden put us back into it, and Harris supports it. Brothers and sisters, wake up. Don’t be “woke,” but wake up to God’s truth and stand firm on His word.

“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” (Proverbs 3:7).

If the preacher where you worship avoids prophecy, skips over the moral Scriptures, and doesn’t stand firm on Scripture, you’re in the wrong congregation. Study Scripture in order to discern truth from lies. God does love us, but if a person can claim to be a Christian while living their life pridefully in opposition to God’s truth, then we need to avoid that person or, in love, draw them back to God’s truth. You will be labeled a “hater,” but it’s better to be called names than to accept the evil in the world. We can’t expect a non-Christian to follow God’s truth, but the ways of the world should never be allowed to influence a Christian congregation.

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.” Ephesians 5:5-7.

This isn’t hard to understand. Christians are to be separate from the world and totally given to God and His ways. “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).

A modern-day example would be if your pastor invites a drag queen to lead the service and walk out. Reprove that preacher with Scripture and have no part in the evil.

It is troublesome living in this day and age. I cannot understand how blind people are to the evil. Most people can feel the evil around but can’t recognize where it comes from. Christians are called to witness to the unbelievers.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Jesus is the Light of the world, and His light shines through Christians. If we hide His light, then shame on us.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7).

Don’t be ashamed of Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit is sealed within every true Christian, and when we speak His truth in love, that power shines in the darkness.

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed: we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken, cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body” (2 Corinthians 4:8-10).

Jesus never said it would be easy, and history shows that Christians have been persecuted for our faith. Thank God for those strong Christians who faced lions rather than deny Christ. Can that happen today? Christians are being persecuted daily, and many are being martyred. Our strength is found in Christ.

Christians do have the blessed hope found in Jesus and His truth. We are seeing the prophetic events of the Tribulation beginning to become intense, and it will get worse. Christians won’t see the Tribulation.

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:13-14). 

We will all be called Home prior to the worst time in human history. Until then, don’t let the troubles in this world overwhelm you. Draw closer to God and honor Christ in all you do. Good works won’t bring salvation, but they will help you to be an example to this fallen world.

Don’t sit around wringing your hands in despair. Rather, show God’s love.

God bless you all,

All original scripture is “theopneustos,” God-breathed.

If you would like to be on my mailing list to receive the commentaries, just drop me an email and let me know.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee” (Psalm 122:6).

There’s a battle raging, and it’s the epitome of Good vs. Evil. God is Good, and Satan is Evil. Of course, this battle isn’t one we can see with our eyes. It’s a spiritual battle that has been raging since Satan rebelled against God. We can feel the battle, and there are times that it manifests in the natural world, but the battle is supernatural. This world and all of humanity is the battlefield.

Sometimes it seems as if evil is winning. Especially in this day and age, when all manner of evil and wickedness have been legalized, and if a person speaks out against the insanity, that person is labeled a “hater.” How can we hold on? I really don’t know how people cope if they don’t know Jesus. He is the Rock of our salvation and our strength in times of trouble. We certainly have trouble today.

“[[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,]] I will love thee, O LORD, my strength, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower” (Psalm 18:1-2).

Fear can cripple us and is a weapon of the enemy, but when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ is with us, we have nothing to fear. He is our fortress.

There have been troubled times throughout history, and Martin Luther lived during troubled times. He was born in 1483, became an Augustinian monk in 1505, and was ordained as a priest in 1507. The Roman Catholic Church had/has many false teachings, and Luther began to reject things like “indulgences.” He tried to reason and discuss the issues he had but to no avail. Pope Leo X demanded Luther renounce the ideas he set forth in the Ninety-five Theses. Luther refused and was excommunicated. What heresy could have caused him to be excommunicated and declared a criminal? He spoke about grace through faith in Jesus alone.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

He angered the pope by believing Scripture above the pope’s decrees. He believed that the Bible was the only divine revelation from God. He also considered all true Christians to be priests.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5).

Luther read Scripture and believed it. Brothers and sisters, this is a very important point to understand. No matter what your preacher preaches, if it disagrees with Scripture, he is wrong. Sadly, Luther was also antisemitic, so use discernment if you study his life and teachings.

Martin Luther trusted the Lord through all of his hard times and wrote hymns that encourage and strengthen our faith. As Christians, we need to look to God as our mighty fortress in these evil times in which we live. We must stand strong on God’s truth rather than fall for Satan’s lies.

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

Words by Martin Luther

A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing

For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Satan has always tried to put fear and confusion into the minds and hearts of those who look to the Lord for strength. We see it so much in the Psalms of David. He faced many battles, even before he became king. At a young age, he fought a bear and a lion, which prepared him to fight the giant Goliath. King Saul tried many times to kill him. After David became king, he fought many foes, including his own son. David always turned to the Lord for strength.

“For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me” (Psalm 31:3).

God never failed David, nor will the Lord fail us in our times of battle. Spiritual battles are hard because the enemy is unseen and attacks our minds to draw us from our God. Remember, God is our rock and fortress, not our enemy. Many Christians aren’t armed for a spiritual battle. Pastors seem to ignore our mortal enemy and choose to preach “feel good” sermons. There is a vicious spiritual battle raging, and looking at the news headlines, Christians are failing God in the battle and siding with Satan. Pastors need to stop tickling ears and start arming the soldiers for battle. Turn to Scripture for God’s truth, and then don’t be ashamed to stand upon His truth.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

Seeker-friendly preachers won’t tell you that it’s God who can destroy body and soul in Hell. All they preach is “God is love.” He is love. Like sugar is sweet and water is wet, God is love. It’s His nature to love. He doesn’t send us to Hell, but by rejecting Jesus Christ for salvation, we send ourselves to Hell. Still, God has “rules,” and if we reject the only way of Salvation, then we have made our choice. When we accept the sacrifice that Jesus made on the Cross, the Holy Spirit is sealed within us, and salvation is secure.

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14).

If your profession of faith was earnest, then the Holy Spirit is sealed inside you, and your salvation is secure.

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.

You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
From age to age the same;
And he must win the battle.

Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Christianity is not a religion; it is faith. Faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

It’s not by our own strength that we can accomplish anything for God. It is only through Jesus. He fulfilled the Law and the Prophets. We are no longer under the Law of Moses, but that doesn’t mean the Law is null and void. We still have the moral law of God. In Christ we have rest and no longer have to do works to try to save ourselves.

“And he said unto them, ‘The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is the Lord also of the sabbath” (Mark 2:27-28).

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! His doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.

Do you doubt there are demons in this world? Scripture tells us they are real. Jesus cast out many demons from people. Paul also cast them out. I have no doubt that all of the Apostles and those who followed their teachings also cast them out. These evil spirits are in the world today. Too often, their handiwork is named as a medical condition. Drugs weaken our minds, so these demons can possess people.

Satan had a field day in the 1960s. Many people smoked pot or used some other mind-altering drug. LSD was very popular. Since that time, the moral decay around the world has been incredible. We cannot battle Satan or his minions on our own. We get attacked by Satan in many ways. He may confuse your mind, like he confused Eve, and cause you to doubt God’s truth. Another way demons can take control of you is through Yoga, which is designed to open “chakras” and release the kundalini spirit in you. A person is encouraged to clear their mind. This opens you to any passing spirit that might want to take possession of you. We are to meditate on our Lord, filling our hearts and minds with His Holy Spirit and His love.

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all” (1 Timothy 4:12-15).

The more you think about God and all that He has done, the harder it is for Satan to confuse and control you. Satan will never stop trying to destroy God’s people, but the battle was won on the Cross. Believe in Him and resist the wiles of the devil.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). Not by your strength, but by God’s power.

That Word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever!

God’s word is above all, and He never changes. Satan is attacking so many things that God sees as precious. Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by Him, but today it’s being perverted. Children are special to Him, but many people see it as a woman’s right to murder the baby in the womb. Children are taught evolution instead of truth, and you can read in the first chapter of Romans to see what depravity that leads to, and it’s “legalized” today.  When we understand that we are sinners on the road to eternal damnation, that’s when we realize we need Jesus.

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee Ye must be born again” (John 3:5-7).

God’s truth never changes. In order to enter into His eternal kingdom, you must be born again. That takes faith. Faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When you realize you’re a sinner, you must repent of your sins. If you’re a person who gossips or lies, repent and change your mind about these sins. If you’re a man who has sexual encounters with other men, repent and turn from that sin. Same goes for women. If you have any sexual encounters outside of a one man/one woman marriage, repent and ask God to forgive your sin. God’s grace and forgiveness are a blessing, but if you continue sinning, then you haven’t earnestly given your life to Christ.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1).

The choice to repent and live for Christ may cause family to disown you. Jesus didn’t come to make life easy. In fact, faith in Him may cause much friction in your family.

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (Matthew 10:34-36). Don’t pick a fight with your family and friends, but don’t deny your Lord.

The spiritual battle is real, but we have a mighty fortress that will never fail; Jesus Christ is our fortress. God provides the spiritual weapons for the spiritual battle we are fighting. Study them in Ephesians chapter 6.

“Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the evil” (Ephesians 6:10-11).

Use these weapons to fight against the wickedness; don’t fight for Satan. The evil in this world is all caused by Satan; he is pure evil. You cannot win a battle with him by yourself. God is your fortress. Stand firm upon His word without wavering. He is your fortress in times of battle.

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11). 

His kingdom is forever.

God bless you all,
