The murder of Charlie Kirk, the near assassination of now President Trump and other threats to murder public officials and near misses, have revealed something, that many of us have known for a long time, but that has been publicly revealed...
No matter how people feel about themselves, their actions and joy over the unrighteous act of murder, proves that they do not belong to God and are not the children of God.
Let me say it this way...for all those "church folk" (and there were many across the country) who applauded the murder of Charlie Kirk, thinking this was the "righteousness of God" or the occult, "Law of Attraction" at work...Or those claiming to be "Christians" excited for the near murder of President Donald Trump and a twisted sense of satisfaction for the murder of the MN. State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mike and who are happy to sign on to the threat of people's lives because of political differences and views...
We may not know who you are, but we know what you are. What's more, we also know who your real father actually is...
It's right here:
John 8:40-41a ~ "40-But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41a-Ye do the deeds of your father. "
John 8:44a ~ "44a-Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning,"
You, with all your glory, titles and education, and in many cases, your theological degree, you are indeed a murderer and the son/daughter of a murderer aka: satan himself!
WELCOME To Reality
The devil is a "murderer" and was full of murder from his beginning. Evidently he thought this could be hidden from God. He was obviously wrong. His exposure led him into the the "Nino Brown syndrome"..."If I go down, I'm taking everyone else with me too"...
Therefore, because of his murderous intent, he is represented by a name given to him by God. satan or "accuser, one who accuses"...His intent is to bring accusation against God's people and everything that belongs to HIM. To, in essence, "murder us" before God. Those who applaud murder, and this type of destructive disruption, are the children of satan. Those who rationalize murder, are his children of as well.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was not a propitiation for sin, neither was it an appeasement done towards God. It was a self-centered act done in part because demons couldn't stand and or tolerate what he was saying.
The Return Of Jesus & The Actions Of Man
When Jesus was asked what would be the sign of his return, he said the following:
* That many would come in his name claiming to be the Messiah (Mt. 24:5)
[So many performing so many wonders that even the "elect" would be tempted to believe - Mt. 24: 24]
* There would be an excess of wars and rumors of wars (Mt. 24:6)
* That there would be famines and earthquakes (shakings) in peculiar places (Mt. 24:7)
* That his followers would face persecution (Mt. 24:9)
* Those that follow him would be hated by all nations (Mt. 24:9)
* That there would be an apostasy of faith (Mt. 24:10)
* That there would be a rank hatred that would arise (Mt. 24:10)
* That many false prophets would arise (Mt. 24:11)
* Societal lawlessness will be multiplied (Mt. 24:12)
* Love, care and concern for humanity would wane or fall off (Mt. 24:12)
* The gospel would be preached to all parts of the world (Mt. 24:14)
* That the "days would be shortened" for the perseverance of his elect (Mt. 24:22) [This indicates that the space or time allotted for something to happen and or to take place would be reduced, therefore speeding up the overall process]
Jesus says that all of these things would be happening. I would take it that these event would occur at an unusually notable pace or rate.
He then goes on to say this:
Mt. 24:36-39 ~ 36-But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37-But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38-For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39-And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Now, some believe that Jesus has already returned and gone. That sentiment is about the most biblically illiterate position and one that was argued against within scripture. (2 Tim. 2:18) However, individuals are free to believe what they wish, even if it is silly...
Then others believe the events Jesus foretold were specifically regarding the events that took place around and near AD70 when Roman Emperor Titus destroyed The Temple leading to the diaspora of Jews from the Land of Israel.
While, I believe that past events are shades and shadows of what will happen, I DO NOT believe the events specified by Jesus in Matthew 24 have occurred in their full extent as of yet. There will be an intensity and more of a frequency of all of these things and more. Only GOD Knows
From the words of Jesus, we find very interesting additional information.
1- Not even heaven (the angelic host) know when HIS return will occur.
2- Men would be doing things similar to what they were doing in "the days of Noah"
3- Because of the deceptions and preoccupation with flesh and materialism, mankind would be oblivious to the coming of the Son of Man and caught totally off guard.
The "Days Of Noah"
I find it fascinating that Jesus linked his return to the "days" or times of Noah in similarity. In Genesis we find that in Noah's time, the intents, thoughts, and hearts of men was evil continually:
Genesis 6:5 ~ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
This indicates that the "age of innocence" had certainly passed. Man, who was now in control of his own aspirations, took it upon himself to be filled with the "intent" to think and do evil. This passage doesn't simply deal with the "thoughts" of men and mankind. It deals with the "intent" of the thoughts. That is most certainly a very deep place that only God can discern.
Whether inspired by fallen angels or not, in Noah's day man's mind was working in such a fashion that the imagination and invention of evil was his his preoccupation. From scripture, it wasn't the actions of the angels or their offspring, "the Nephilim" that was God's motivation to return and destroy the works and acts of man and mankind. It was the thoughts and intents of men's hearts and their subsequent actions that had become so disturbing and so unnerving that the only course was to destroy the unrepentant and them who refused to hear HIM.
The people had taken on the character and attributes of the devil himself. They became self centered, murderous, and callous towards the creation of God in their thoughts and actions thus displaying their subservience to "another" kingdom. A kingdom controlled and inspired by satan himself. A kingdom directed by evil intent, and the working out of evil values including sexual impropriety, immorality, scientifically advanced evil, and ultimately murder itself.
The Return Of The Sons Of God
The ways of the evil in the "days of Noah", are certainly not unique to modern times, however, the inventions of evil and the intent of wickedness has reared its especially ugly head and the proverbial "genie" (djinn aka: evil spirit) has been let out of the bottle. A dimension of evil has been opened and this will not be put out, subdued or overcome in its totality until Jesus returns.
Rom. 8:19 ~ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
The fallen angels, who rejected the reign and the Kingdom of God, and who were disobedient to the will of God, will never find respite for their rebellious decision. Theirs is an eternal and perpetual appointment with the Lake of Fire which was specifically created for them, which is something that they did not know. (Rev. 20:10) Those of us, who carry on and carry out the will of God through Christ Jesus have been given the power to become the "Sons of God"
John 1:12 ~ But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
While I certainly understand the theological implication of what I am setting forth, I yet believe, that though we will never be in the "angelic" class of being, being a Son of God, is a complete replacement of those who were previously called the sons of God, and we see the angelic host, throughout scripture, called the "Sons Of God". (Gen. 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1)
Those angels who rebelled, those demonic entities who now wreak havoc in the earth, and want this realm for themselves, and plague you, your family and all that has been reserved for God, are no longer HIS sons in the biblical sense...Through Christ Jesus WE have been given this ability to overcome the evil one and all of his tricks, and now stand as servants of God ready and willing to do HIS bidding and have access to the power of the Holy Ghost to complete HIS task.
Acts 1:8 ~ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The obedient servant of God is exactly who the creation, the earth, and everything in this vast universe anticipates to destroy the order of evil that entered creation and break the stronghold that the enemy has upon humanity and creation itself. satan seeks an greater grip, and would have such if we, the true sons of God, would abdicate our responsibility, shut up, go away, and give up the fight for the redemption of our family, our communities and the church itself.
But, NOT SO...we are STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN HIS POWER and ready for battle.
I will not be deceived as so many have been. We have been truly let down and disappointed by those whom we never anticipated would be a part of the devil, sin and evil in any way, yet alone enthusiastic, melancholy or even enthusiastic about murder and the destruction of God's creation.
However, should we really be surprised? When we have pulpits and leaders silent about pedophilia, abortion and the murder of babies, encouraging the mutilation and defiling the image of God through gender bending transexual surgeries, and alleged advanced medical treatment and the defilement of humanity and corruption of moral values and corruption of Christian values.
Behind the true and uncompromising church, we have a weak church, which is at times more visible than the true church, led by those who encourage, if not endorse, hate, evil and murder and find a way to rationalize anti-biblical morality and have no conscience remorse or regret about their actions. Who would think that anyone could ever criticize notions of Christian nationalism, and reframe it as a call to "White Supremacy", while at the same time accepting notions of Sharia and Sharia Law found within radical and even basic interpretations of Islam?
This is the problem and what we see in Jesus words regarding the false prophet and deception. It is the dumbing down of righteousness, true holiness and the true Kingdom of God.
Blessed!
