Adversity As Motivation

 Being the loving God that He is, it is very possible the psychopath assault on humanity is being used by the Lord for multiple purposes.  The first purpose that comes to mind is getting His children down on their knees in prayer, doing what they have been called and predestined to do (using their "talents"-Matt 25) so they are prepared for what is coming.  

This ^^ brings us to what is coming.  Only the Lord knows for sure but one distinct possibility is the anti-Christ showing up next year.  What are some clues we have been given that would suggest that?  1.  The X over America:


The time between the two legs of the "X" is 6 years, 6 months, 6 weeks but only 5 days which suggests close but not exactly on top of the X date (April 2024).  What else?  The trickle out of alien/ufo information like this.  The Lord God gave us very clear counsel on what to look for in order to know when the anti-Christ is inbound.  What did He say?

2 Thess 2:7

7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The key words up there are power, false signs and wonders.  In other words, nobody is going to miss this, its not something thats going to pass casually through the news cycle and go unnoticed by most.  Nope, this will be front and center news for the whole world and "aliens" showing up putting on a light show with UFOs would certainly fit the description.

This brings us back to the Lord preparing His people now.  Maybe its not an anti-Christ reveal and its just the far left globalist Nazi narcissistic communistic psychopaths doing more of what they are doing now which is waging war against humanity.  Again, thats a messy process.  Its a process for which we who belong to the Lord must be prayed up and prepared for.  Its a process we must resist (because its our job to restrain-see 2 Thess 2:7 above).

In either case, in the days ahead we should be doing what we were put here to do.  We want to be found as faithful servants whether the Lord Jesus comes down to us first or we go up to Him first.  Speaking of which thats another possibility in the midst of all this mess, what if the Lord decends down to the clouds and calls His Church up next year?  The adversity we see in the world that should be driving us down to our knees would be seen as an act of grace and mercy then wouldnt it?

The Lord our God is very good.  He is a great commanding General, a great Father and a great God.  In His mercy the present pressure on the world should be inspiration and motivation for us who belong to Him to be doing what we always should be doing but are getting an extra incentive to do it in this season.  What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord God uses for good.

Glory to God

grace and peace
