Part of me wants to apologize for writing this, but another part won’t let me because saying it is part of my calling among God’s people even if it curries little favor.
As I considered the future on my September 15 birthday, I asked God for a “word,” hoping for something warm and affirming. Instead, He said; “The word is that disaster is about to strike. It will touch both the saint and the sinner. But that is not the end, it is only the beginning. You have nothing to fear if you keep your eyes on me. I am at work, carrying out my plans formed before the world was created. It is to purify the Church to prepare her to be the bride for my Son, and then He will come for His own.”
A LETHAL POT
Satan is concocting a lethal pot of scenarios and events that will soon be felt globally as part of End Times events that fulfill prophesies and serve God’s purposes. Ingredients include the many factors in the Middle East including the present plan formulated by the world’s “man of peace,” along with growing digital identity implementation, AI development, Putin/Trump/ Ukraine/NATO dynamics, transition toward a cashless society, Antifa, and Amerca’s exploding internal conflict, among other things. America and the world’s infatuation with Donald Trump is a Trojan Horse.
The Church is not prepared to be light in that dark world by persevering in truth and being unified as one. Many American churchgoers will submit to the new society and to “the mark” in an attempt to protect their present lifestyle and treasures. Will you? “How harmful could a little tattoo be, anyway?”
THE RAPTURE
Yes, I believe in the Rapture, but I do not believe that it will happen before a time of purifying fire. We American Christians are more like the world than like Jesus. We have failed miserably at being Matthew 5:13-15 preserving salt and guiding light to our nation, allowing her to descend into the pit of rebellion against God that has produced the depths of immorality and internal conflict that now grip us – yet we expect Him to deliver us from the consequences of our rebellion because we “go to church” or claim to be “Christian?”
WEEKEND READING
I wrote HASTENING HIS RETURN in 1999 and it is truer now than ever. You can read it and print it off at http://john2031.com/prophetic_9-11/hastening_his_return.html It’s not a short read and I commend it to you for weekend reading.
More to come.
