Though we don't know the day or the hour of the return of the Lord we can know when the day is approaching when we understand what is happening around the world...; "...when you see these things happening, look up...". As I write this the Middle East is erupting and becoming an Islamic Caliphate, Europe is becoming destabilized, the Ukraine is in a state of civil war and Russia is aligning with Iran to become the Biblical definition of Gog and Magog.
Chaos is erupting in the Southern Western hemisphere and our own country is in a moral free fall. Good is being called evil and evil is being called good. Our children are being indoctrinated through a nationalized "Education" system (Common Core) designed to destroy the Childs personal identity and the family unit. A majority of American adults, including those in the Church, can be described as "Low information" voters or non-relevant uninvolved citizens.
The signs are everywhere that the revealing of the 'man of lawlessness' is near and the return of the Lord is soon. The time of great tribulation is at hand and few are ready to face the reality of the times we are in.
"You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.) These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres."
We are in the times described in Paul's letter to Timothy and we must take his advice and remain steadfast in our defense of the truth. Paul tells us in his letter to the Church in Ephesus to expose evil wherever it is found, but most believers refuse to get involved. Light will only dispel darkness when the light goes to where the darkness is, it is time to remove the basket that is covering the light.
Jesus told the Disciples that the gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church which means the Church must assault those gates. The gates are wide open and the evil within the kingdom of darkness is pouring into society at a rate never seen before. It is imperative that the Church rise up and confront with boldness those who seek to destroy the republic that God ordained to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. America has a destiny that must be recognized and defended by those who have been given the responsibility to steward the mission she has; the Church of Jesus Christ.
We must stop making excuses for avoiding our responsibility to be involved with the governing of this great gift called America or we condemn our children to a life of hopelessness and despair. We have been placed in history for such a time as this. The question for the Church is "will we dare to face 'Xerxes' and risk everything or will we remain silent within the "temporary" safety of his palace and hope we escape the evil at hand while others fight for their lives?"
If we will pray, fast and go to where the evil is emanating from we will be victorious and Haman will hang on the gallows he has built to hang us on. The gates of Hell will not prevail against us IF we run toward them with faith in God's faithfulness!

  1. AMEN! Great insight and well-put. I'm thinking of the Spiritual meaning of the song, 'If We'd All Light Just One Little Candle - What A Bright World This Would Be!' - AND - 'Go Light Your World!' Oh, that the Holy Ghost of God would bring the Fire that our nation and the world need!!! Hmmm. Most of us reading Bob's Blog are 'the Church.' LET'S GO!!!
