  • The Fallacy Of The Pre-Tribulation Rapture View

    by

    The Fallacy Of A Pre-Tribulation Rapture View:

    A vast majority of the church is unfamiliar with end time prophecy for a variety of reasons, and yet most claim that the pre-tribulation rapture is the primary reason. Why study prophecy when you won’t be around to witness any of it? It wasn’t always this way.

    Until the 1800’s no one really thought in terms of a pre-tribulation rapture. But once John Nelson Derby coined the term in the early 1800’s and promoted the idea of an escape from the evil that is to come, people flocked to this idea and still hold on tightly to it to this day. But does this view hold any validity, or is it mere wishful thinking?

    ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

    Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV

    The problem lies within the Day of The Lord and the wrath to come being equated to that of the tribulation era, and yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. The wrath of God is to be poured out on the unbelievers following the tribulation era while the tribulation era itself is the wrath of the antichrist poured out on believers. During the tribulation era, those that submit to the antichrist and beast will live prosperously in the new “utopian” society, that which the radical left is so desiring to accomplish at this very moment.

    “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

    II Thessalonians 2:3-4 NKJV

    As Paul states here, the falling away and the rise of the Antichrist must occur prior to the wrath of God being poured out upon the world. The falling away has already began throughout the world as the decline of Christianity has increased with each new generation, and this will only increase after the utopian society is completed and a cashless society prevails, and all those that believed in a pre-tribulation rapture lose hope and submit themselves to this new system.

    Stated several times throughout the New Testament is that the Day of The Lord is simultaneous with that of the last trumpet, which again occurs after the tribulation era. This trumpet is described as the seventh trumpet in the book of Revelations which following the trumpet Christ appears to gather His people and bring about judgment on the world, and then the 1,000 year reign of Christ is initiated.

    “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    I Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV

    As daunting as this news may be to some, it should by no means discourage as we have the Lord on our side, and we will ultimately prevail at the end of it all. If we are indeed in the last times as though it seems, we should then orient ourselves appropriately by standing boldly before the opposition and defending the faith courageously. We shouldn’t sit by ideally and allow evil to prevail, but rather fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ.

  • The Rise Of The New World Order

    by

    “The COVID-19 pandemic has made the promise of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs [Sustainable Development Goals] more relevant and vital than ever,” Mohammed said Friday.

    We must understand what is going on behind the scene of both the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. This is not about politics but goes much deeper than that. The world is ran by much more powerful people than the puppets portrayed in governmental institutions, and the goals that are being pushed by the UN are aimed at the ideal of a global government.

    What we are currently witnessing is a game driven by the higher authorities and is what was prophesied in Revelations as the rise of the beast, that is the one world system. We will not have to wait too much longer before cash is deemed as an agent of the spread of Covid-19 and marked as unessential, and the cashless society is formed.

    We must be aware of the dangers that surround us and of that which lies ahead. For those that claim that we do not have worry about those things due to the pre-tribulation rapture are sorely mistaken. The pre-tribulation rapture was a false idea promoted within the church during the 1800’s and will be what causes many to fall away during the tribulation as the rapture does not occur.

    ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

    Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV

    The rapture is specifically located at the end of the tribulation time and time again throughout scripture. The tribulation is not the wrath of God, but rather the wrath of the antichrist. Just as in the days of Stalin, those who worshipped him and submitted to the corrupt ideology were accepted and thrived. And yet those that rejected him were either exiled into Siberia and starved to death, or they were executed.

    The same will be the case during the tribulation as the utopian one world society will seem as paradise on earth and those who subject to its rule and take the mark of the beast will enjoy its benefits. And yet those that reject will be starved to death (as they will not be able to buy or sell) or be executed.

    It is time for the church to not hide behind the false hopes of the pre-tribulation rapture and stand up against the opposition like faithful servants of Christ. It is time to inform those that are within the faith of what is to come, and at the same time inform those that are lost of the hope that awaits all of those that put their trust in Christ.

  • These Times We Inhabit

    by

    These are the times we are currently inhabiting; times of chaos and that of lawlessness. A time where people are possessed by radically corrupted ideologies rather than the truth. A time when people seek out stimulation rather than knowledge and wisdom. A time when the facts only matter when it fits the narrative of your radicalized ideological framework rather than what correlates with reality itself. A time when when evil is seen as good, and good as evil.

    These are the times in which lawlessness abounds and the desire for freedom to sin is paramount. For Chistians, though, this is a time to stand boldly before the opposition and contend with the chaos in hopes to produce proper order, not according to one’s own ideal, but rather to that which best fits the narrative of reality itself.

    “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

    II Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV

  • The Nobility Of Being Good

    by

    There is a great difference between being a nice person and that of being a good person. The former is of a passive nature and lacks any real virtue, while the latter seeks to do good and make a difference in the lives of those around him or her. The concept of everyone being nice lacks any real value in correlation with reality. And yet when we strive to do good to all, we are adding value to the fabric of social order itself. It is good to be nice, but it is noble to be good and act upon that goodness.

  • The Power Of Ideas

    by

    Ideas can be overwhelmingly powerful. And with that power comes the potential to shape minds that go on to shape society. Although there is transforming potential within ideas, of what value they produce is deeply dependent upon the underlying nature and motives of the ideas. Precision of conceptualization of ideas and their outcome is of crucial importance. ⁣
    ⁣
    If an idea is founded upon virtuous character and the aim to ameliorate a set of values in order to improve societies state of being, then the idea has the potential of immense value, not only for the individual or group that formulated the idea, but for all people. ⁣
    ⁣
    But, if an idea is conceptualized with an underlying attitude of resentment and retaliation, then the results of the idea will more than likely be catastrophic for all people except those that conceptualized the idea. And this same thought process is what made manifest the execution and starvation of millions of people throughout the Soviet Union, China, and Nazi Germany. ⁣

    Deep thought and the proper aim is essential to formulating ideas that go on to produce value, not only for the conceptualizer, but for society as a whole. What we are currently witnessing are ideas that are inherently founded on a Marxist philosophy of resentment and retaliation, and of which produces only chaos and the potential cost of millions of lives. ⁣
    ⁣
    To resolve an issue one must do proper research from all sides and not only that from a point of reference that helps justify their resentful behavior. Examining all levels of analysis can help shed greater light on an issue as well as manifest its proper resolution.

  • The Rise Of A Corrupt Revolution

    by

    The dreadful fate of the future and the greatest threat to society is not from the threat of war, famines, or diseases. But rather that of ideologically possessed radical groups such as black lives matters and antifa. ⁣
    ⁣
    These groups are seeking to influence and possess the fragile minds of the youth with thoughts of hatred, retaliation, anger and violence. This same type of philosophy that empowers these groups is what fueled the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalin along with the mass executions and starvation of millions of his own people. ⁣
    ⁣
    Playing group identity politics while targeting certain groups as “privileged” and of need of re-education according to the accusers radical ideology is absurd and extremely dangerous. I fear for my family as the radicals progress in their terror-like tactics to retaliate and radicalize the nation. ⁣
    ⁣
    And yet, as I have stated several times prior, the only way in which we will see a radical transformation for the good within society is by the power of the Holy Spirit transforming the hearts and minds of each individual and the love of Christ radiating throughout the fabric of society itself. ⁣
    ⁣
    No mere radical ideology or agenda will permeate the hardness of the human heart, but on the contrary, it will only increase the hardness and the desire to exterminate all those that are against their own agenda. ⁣
    ⁣
    It is a time for mass prayer, not mass riots. It is a time for repentance and forgiveness, not resentment and retaliation. It is a time to look past the color of each other’s skin and into the intrinsic value embedded within every individual. It is a time to show love, mercy and grace rather than hatred, bitterness and violence. God is the only one that can heal this nation, and so it is time we turn to Him in humility and tears.

  • The Rising Chaos In Minneapolis

    by

    This type of behavior solves nothing but an increase of chaos. A set of acts that are rooted within resentment and retaliation rather than love and forgiveness. This is not to say that we should handle situations as such in a manner of naivety, but we should handle it rationally and intelligently in order to produce anything of value.

    Radicalism is never the answer to a problem, but rather the schism to one. We must understand that racism and police brutality exist at every level of the racial spectrum, and while the radical left elevates only the black spectrum in order to benefit their radical political agendas, all races experience one form of assault or another.

    The cure to this universal inequality? As I recommended yesterday, only through the means of love, forgiveness and the working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of individuals can this be accomplished. No means of radical identity politics, manipulative re-education program, or forceful tactics will suffice, but only through a loving relationship with Christ can we peer past differences of each other and ultimately go on to make a difference in the world around us.

  • The True Solution To The Issue Of Racism In America

    by

    What has occurred in Minneapolis is of tragic proportions along with much of what we have witnessed throughout the years with much of racism still pervading throughout America. And yet, how does a society rid itself from such sinful behavior?

    Some have suggested re-educating white people by implementing the notion of white privilege in which a person should feel bad about who God had created them to be as well as to what level of the social hierarchy they have been born in, and yet this suggestive tactic is absurd. Others have recommended that white people be more intergraded into the black community to help remove the bias presumptions.

    Both suggestions miss the mark, though, as they lack the true cure that doesn’t just promote racism against white people or forcing them to like black people, but rather a cure that truly penetrates the heart of both the issue and individuals, not only on the white side of the racial spectrum but its entirety; that is Christ Himself.

    A change in social structures begins at an individual level. If each individual, whether they be white, black, brown, or tie dye, were to seek out God with their entire being and called on God in the same manner as the Psalmist did, “Oh God, create in me a clean heart.” At this point, I firmly believe, we would see a radical transformation of individuals and social structures alike. Only by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit working in each individuals heart would we see, not a forceful or manipulative change, true and radical transformation.

    We would see Christ and His love being the central theme of both people’s lives and society. We would see people not looking at the color of each others skin, but rather our hearts and actions. We would see the intrinsic value of each other in a radically new way as we all encourage each other and help each other become more Christ like. There would be no separation as we are all dwelling together in Christ like union with no bias and no hatred being found in our hearts.

    If we want a true transformation in society it will not be through the means of law and order or by the manipulative means of “re-education,” but rather only through the cleansing of our sinful nature by the blood of Christ and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

  • Transforming Potential In Something Of Value

    by

    There is immense potential lying within the unknown, and you have the ability instilled within you to transform that potential into something of immense value. Just like Abraham left home and ventured into the unknown to become a great nation, so you too can leave your abode of comfort and head into the unknown to become something great.
