What does "Revelation" mean? Something is being revealed. In this case, everything is being revealed. One of the tell take signs that we are nearing the events in the book of Revelation is the revealing of all things. Consider the past 4-5 years or so. The corruption, lies, stealing, fraud, psycopath nature, the murder etc committed by our politicians and institutions that used to be respected has all been laid bare. Now, with wickedness strutting around like a barnyard rooster we begin to see the grand design of it all. An observer of this revelation of all things can see that this world has people who belong to it (the majority) and those who do not. The people who belong to this world support its psycopath, lying, stealing, cheating, murdering "leaders" and their institutions.
We are seeing the beginning phases of the separating of wheat from chaff and goats from sheep. Part of the purpose of the ongoing revealing of how rotten things are is to see who approves of it and who does not. There are no "good" choices, only less bad choices. In the end, the Lord God will be vindicated by the royal mess that mankind made of this world. The Lord Himself will have to come back with a broom and a dust pan to clean up our mess. In the meantime, His Word will be proven faithful and true.
If we get a (s)election this November, and in 2024 remember that although the party that starts with a "D" has volunteered to carry the standard for the adversary, the party with an "R" has helped them and is actively helping them along the way. The poster child for the "R" party has all kinds of policies and positions that seem appealing at first until you realize the issue that the enemy is attempting to use to bring in satanic nirvana is the vakseen. Who is the biggest cheerleader for the vaks? Who enabled the enemies of humanity to introduce this weapon against humanity at "warpspeed." Who refused to fire Dr. Mengel...uh, I mean Fauci? Who not only did not drain the swamp but filled his trusted advisor positions with the swamp? You know who....
They have all sold their soul and we must remember that the grand plan is in the process of working its way out. We do not have to guess where all of this is headed. We have a book that tells us what will happen and has a 100% success rate in doing so. The stage is being set for the enemy's superman. That man has not arrived yet and we know this by the Word that told us what to look for and what is Restraining him.
2 Thess 2
9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
2 Thess 2:7
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
So, their superman has not arrived but we are in the midst of historic levels of "revealing" of the powers that be as agents of the enemy. Those who support the revealed wickedness have chosen a side and will be without excuse on the day we all stand to account for ourselves. The revealing tells us that although "their" superman is not here yet he is likely not far off.
All this said ^^ we who belong to a kingdom that is not of this world are looking for our Lord Jesus Christ to show up at any time unannounced. There is an unknown coming of the Lord and a known coming of the Lord (the second coming) that people love to conflate to their own detriment. There is zero downside to watching for the arrival of the Lord each and every day. Zero, none. If we are living our lives as if the Lord could show up at our doorstep every day what are the implications of that kind of living? All requirements will be met by someone living for their Lord day in and day out. And oh yea, by the way it wasn't just a good idea we were commanded to do this:
Luke 21
34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Mark 13
32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert e ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”
Here we have clear commands that a 4th grader could understand and yet we have people who will argue with you till blue in the face that we shouldn't bother to watch because... (insert man made doctrine here). If we do what we were told to do we dont have to figure out rapture timing. We watch today and if it doesnt happen today we do it again tomorrow, rinse and repeat. Wow, no doctoral dissertation needed, problem solved by simply doing what we were told to do!
This world is in serious trouble but we need to remember why they are in this trouble. They rejected Him....they are at war with God and they are losing (go figure). The details of this war and mankind getting its clock cleaned in the process is outlined in the book of Revelation. Highly recommended reading!
Please remember brother Torben in your prayers, he is still in prison.
Glory to God
Grace and peace
