8:36 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “My Jesus, My Savior.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 (ESV).
Much Conflict
For
you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain. But
though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you
know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the
midst of much conflict. For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity
or any attempt to deceive, but just as we have been approved by God to be
entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God
who tests our hearts. For we never came with words of flattery, as you know,
nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people,
whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles
of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of
her own children. So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to
share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you
had become very dear to us.
So, what conflicts are Christians in the world facing today?
In many nations throughout the world, a vast number of followers of Christ are
being put to death, some of them beheaded for their faith and for their
testimonies for Jesus Christ, and for his gospel. Others have been displaced
from their homes and/or have had to flee persecution by going into other
countries, or by fleeing to other locations within their own countries. Many
are being falsely accused of crimes they did not commit, and for the purpose to
silence them. Others are being silenced through laws intended to limit free
speech, and for the purpose of going after those individuals who the global
powers deem as “extremists,” etc.
One day soon I will no longer have the freedom to write as I
now do. None of us who speak the truth will be allowed to continue to say what
we know or what we believe is true. Evangelical Christians are considered “extremists”
who must be silenced or who must be coerced into cooperating with efforts to
bring all religions into one. Either we cooperate with the New World Order “Beast,”
or we pay the consequences. This is our present reality.
Yet, I believe all of Satan’s efforts to put the gospel to
death will be to no avail, because persecution, as has been historically
proven, only serves as a catalyst to fan the flame of revival in the church and
the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ, even more so now than ever before.
I don’t act foolishly, but I am not afraid of their threats, because I know
that nothing can separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus.
They may kill my body, but they cannot kill my soul. If they kill me, I just
get to go be with Jesus. So, by God’s grace, I keep on doing what God has
called me to do, until my job is finished, and it is time for my Lord to take
me home - knowing that God is absolutely in control of all things. And, I ditto
Paul’s sentiments here, as were recorded for us in this passage of scripture.
Worthy of God
For
you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we
might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of
God. You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was
our conduct toward you believers. For you know how, like a father with his
children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to
walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
The time is now upon us in this world of ours when we have
been or will be forced into making a decision about who we will serve – the beast
or Jesus Christ? There will be no more riding the fence between the world and
Christ Jesus. We will either have to take a strong stance for our faith, in the
face of death and severe persecution, or we will have to side with the beast
and with the world in compromise of faith, which is no faith at all.
God is calling out to his church, his beloved, to walk in a
manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. We need to
conduct our lives in a manner worthy of the Lord and of his calling on our
lives, living holy lives pleasing to him, bearing fruit for the gospel and for
his kingdom, and growing in our knowledge of God. Yet, this won’t happen if we
don’t have the correct understanding of God’s grace to us in saving us from our
sins. Again, he died so we would die to sin and live to righteousness; live for
him and not for ourselves. We must walk in the Spirit and not according to the
flesh. Then we can do what this is talking about. If we are holding on to sin,
entertaining it in our minds, giving in to it, and going our own way despite
what we know to be the truth, then there is no way we can live holy lives
pleasing to God, bear fruit for his gospel, and grow in our knowledge of him,
because living to please ourselves is counterproductive to living holy lives
pleasing to God. They oppose each other. So, it is time to walk according to
the Spirit, and not in the flesh.
Hindering the Gospel
And
we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God,
which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it
really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. For you,
brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in
Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did
from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us
out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to
the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their
sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!
There is a difference between the word of God and the word
of men, though many preachers today craftily blend the two together, or else
they give the allusion that they are speaking the word of God, when they are
really speaking the word of man. Many times they will merely reference a
passage of scripture without even teaching on it at all, but then go on
teaching their own (or others’) humanistic philosophy. This trick gives off the
subliminal message that what they are preaching is actually scriptural, when it
is clearly not. Those who do not know the Word of God become easy prey for such
preachers, because they lack the knowledge and the spiritual discernment to
know the difference. Even many who have studied the scriptures, and who should
know the truth, fall victim to these frauds, who pass themselves off as true
ministers of the gospel, mainly because the unsuspecting don’t test what they
hear against the Word of God.
There is presently a global effort underway to silence all Christians
who teach that Jesus is the only way to heaven, and who especially teach that
we must die to sin and live to righteousness – walking no longer after the
flesh, but walking according to the Spirit – as required for us in order for us
to be saved and to have eternal life (Ro. 6-8). They are opposed to all of us
who preach against sin, warn of judgment, and who call people to repentance and
to faith in Jesus Christ. They are antagonistic toward all of us who hold to
the truths of scripture, who do not deny the name of Jesus, and who hold to our
convictions to obey the word of God, even if that is not popular, and even if
it gets us rejected and ostracized, in return. And, they are going up against
all of us who expose their lies and deceptions, and who point people to the
truth. What they are pushing for is a unified faith under which the people of
the whole world, and of all religions, can work together in harmony, only this
is a forced unity, and they will punish all who do not cooperate.
Those who are plotting our demise, and the demise of all who
oppose them, have carefully crafted many different scenarios, such as mass
murders, riots, uprisings, bombings, and events which pit various people
groups, one against the other, to prove their case for a need for a peaceful
solution. These are called “false flag” operations, and are orchestrated events
(dramatic productions), in order to set the stage for what they are plotting.
They have to first create a situation which requires a need for a “savior,” so
that they can come in as “savior” of the world, in order to make things better;
to make a better world. Obama and the Pope are major voices for this global
effort, and may well be linked to prophecy of scripture regarding the beast out
of the earth (See: Rev. 13; also see link below). I can’t tell you when this
all began. I think they have been programming us to bow to the beast all my
life, anyway, and I am 65. The Lord Jesus began showing me these things in
2004, and he had me begin writing what he teaches me each day since 2006, much
of which has been concerning this rise of the beast, and how that is being
played out in our world today.
The sense the Lord Jesus is giving me today, especially with
regard to current news events, is that there is about to be a shift in power,
edging us even closer to the full rule of the beast over the entire world. For
one thing, the Pope has now come center stage and is joining in other voices,
calling out for global unity, particularly among all religions. The Pope’s
message to the people has many hidden implications contained within, including
veiled threats. He is intending to provoke (incite) a response, hoping to
convert many people over to his way of thinking, i.e. to experiencing a “new
birth,” of sorts, which would convince us that we must act as one, and that
this would be brought about, it appears, through some kind of personal
suffering, which will help us to “see the light,” basically.
One of the objects of his communication, I believe, was that
we humans might be put in our place, and might realize our obligation to the
world around us. He also spoke of humanity sinning against the environment, but
I don’t believe this is truly about climate change, in the sense of the natural
earth. Rather, I believe this is about a political climate change, i.e. the
rise of the beast, and it is thus about humans “sinning” against the New World
Order “Beast,” by not bowing to the beast, and by not taking its mark on our
lives, i.e. by not cooperating with this forced unity (solidarity) and social
justice, and one-world religion. We, the extremists, are enemies of this
one-world faith. And, that is why we must be dealt with.
This New World Order “Beast” has been taking very careful
and calculated steps to ensure its global rule, which has included crushing and
devouring its victims and trampling underfoot whatever was left. Sound
familiar? This includes all these fake and/or orchestrated (pre-planned) natural
disasters, political uprisings, mass murders, and the like. They have created
so many of these situations in order to bring the world into a chaotic state so
that there would be a need for a savior, and then the false Christ will appear
on the scene to “save the day,” but not really. His goal is to bring us all
into compliance with this new global tyrannical rule of government and
one-world religion, and to break down borders between nations so that we no
longer have individual sovereign nations, but we are all one.
The Lord was showing me today, I believe, that we are now in
the process of moving to this next phase in the N.W.O. Beast’s plot for world
domination, or else we are now in the next phase or step of this plan to
conquer the world, and this is the “spiritual section” where the Pope, it would
seem, is instrumental in bringing all the religions of the world into one. The
point is that now Christians in America, too, are going to come under severe
persecution, because we are the enemy of Satan, and his goal is to destroy us.
This N.W.O. Beast will use whatever means possible to attempt to bring about
subjugation of the world, and to bring us all into unity with the beast. They
will punish all dissenters, i.e. all those who do not cooperate with this
forced solidarity. But, this will be used to try to coerce us into compliance. Yet,
we know how the story ends, don’t we? So, we stand on our faith.
My Jesus, My Savior

Addendum to “Shamefully Treated”
Dylann Storm Roof – the name of the young man accused in the killings in the Charleston, SC church.
Dylan (masculine) – meaning “great tide, flow” – “In Welsh mythology Dylan was a god or hero associated with the sea” (behindthename.com). The first beast in Revelation 13 is out of the sea: “And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads…” Dylann (2 n’s) could just be a spelling variation of Dylan, or it could be a feminine version of the name Dylan. Or, there could be some other meaning to the 2 n’s, suggesting this is #2, perhaps.
Tide – “the cycle of rising and falling of the surface of bodies of water caused by the attraction of the moon and the sun” (yourdictionary.com); a stream or current; anything that alternately rises and falls, increases and decreases; the tide of the seasons; current, tendency, or drift, as of events or ideas; the tide of international events; any extreme or critical period or condition” (dictionary.com).
Storm – a situation in which many people are angry, upset; a serious disturbance of any element of nature; a tumultuous outburst (M-W Dictionary).
Roof – “the highest point: summit; an upper limit: ceiling; an extremely or excessively high level” (M-W Dictionary); “go through the roof, to increase beyond all expectations; also, hit the roof. Informal. to lose one's temper; become extremely angry; raise the roof, Informal.
to create a loud noise; to complain or protest noisily” (dictionary.com).
If you read “Dylann Storm Roof” like a sentence, with “storm” being the verb in the sentence, it might read something like this: A series of international events and/or an extreme and critical period of time is rising, causing a tumultuous outburst, which is resulting in many people being angry and upset, and this disturbance is crashing against the highest point, or an excessively high level, perhaps something suggesting the likes of “storming the castle,” i.e. conquering in a fury a stronghold or a fortress. This reminds me of the vote on Obama’s fast-track negotiating authority to make this TPP deal. Fast track means: “A course leading to rapid advancement or change” (thefreedictionary.com).
Since the killings took place in a church, this could be about the persecution of Christians, i.e. going after religious “extremists.” Since it was white against black, which is a scenario “the powers that be” have been pushing a lot lately, this could be about stirring up racial hatred and violence. Since this took place in Charleston, SC, this could be about trying to pit Americans against Americans, i.e. a reference to the Civil War – neighbor against neighbor. These global powers have to do in America what they have been doing in other nations throughout the world so that we need a “savior” to “rescue” us from ourselves, such as with the other nations where the “international community” came to the “rescue,” and/or where we are brought under “martial law,” which our military and police are training for right now.
