Real Trouble Unless The Lord Intervenes

One thing the Lord has made clear through recent events (like the election of Trump) is He can intervene at any time to reverse or delay current events heading in the wrong direction.  Hillary looked like a shoe in for president which would have hastened the entire world over the cliff into world communism and chaos.  Thankfully, the Lord had other plans.  What we appear to have now (at least politically) is a delay that have shifted events down an alternative timeline.

So what is the real trouble the world is facing today?  This:

Toward the end of the video he puts up a chart that shows what kind of trouble this world is facing starting as early as the end of this year.  Think about the possibility of food becoming more scarce combined with a global population that is increasingly at each other's throats.  Think about how hostile people have become with each other today when shelves are still fully stocked with food, the electricity is still on and water still makes it into your house on demand.  Then imagine what would happen once the already hostile population started to become inconvenienced by one another over basic necessities.

Now that we have imagined how things will be let us consider what the Lord said is coming:

Rev 6:3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat

thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there

was given unto him a great sword.

The Third Seal: Famine

5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.

And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in

his hand. 6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of

wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not

the oil and the wine.

The Fourth Seal: Death

7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,

Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him

was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth

part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts

of the earth.

Looking at the information we have at our fingertips it would not be a far stretch to imagine the tribulation starting anytime over the next year or two.  That said, could the Lord perform another Divine intervention and push the timeline out again?  Sure, He could.  The question is, will He?

As the guy in the video says, this agricultural crisis should be front page news for every news outlet in the world, but instead we get "everything will be fine as soon as Trump is out of office."  Trump should be the least of anyone's worries.

So where does all this leave us?  It leaves us with a serious and ever increasing need to pray.  We need to be praying for peace (while 100% of western politicians are trying to instigate war).  We need to pray for our food supply (while the worlds animals and plant life-our food supply-is being eradicated.  We need to pray for all mankind that they will turn to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.  We need to pray without ceasing about everything, all the time because the fabric that holds this world together is quickly coming unraveled.

Why is the fabric that holds this world together coming unraveled?

Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

In Him, in Christ, all things hold together.  Remove Jesus Christ and the results are predictable.

If you want to know what the good news is in all this doom and gloom, its this:  the Church, His Body is still on this earth.  What does that mean?  It means this:

Matt 5:13“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

This world still has salt and light in it, and that salt and light is you and me.  The true Body of Christ has been given power over all things.  We have been given power to move mountains:

Matt 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

You read that ^^ correctly, nothing is impossible for us.  The one thing this world hates as much as the Jew is the Christian.  Little do they understand that we are the only thing standing between them and hell on earth.

Babylon and The Last Days

President Macron of France visited the U.S. recently and spoke to Congress.  What did he have to say?  Globalism is good, nationalism is bad.  He is a globalist like 99% of both Democrats and Republicans and most other world leaders.  What is it with these globalists?  Why the push to remove borders and national boundaries?  Because there is a spirit working in and through the politicians of this world.  Which spirit?  The spirit of anti-Christ, the spirit of Babylon.  As the Bible tells us, there is nothing new under the sun:

Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

You mean the world has seen this before?  yes, multiple times.  What was behind Hitler's thousand year reich idea?  What was behind the world revolutionary plans of communism?  What was behind Alexander's plan to conquer the world?  The same spirit:

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Why is the spirit of anti-Christ trying to construct a one world government?  Why are politicians pushing integration and 'inclusiveness'?  Is it because they have found some deep love for the humanity they have exploited their entire careers?  Hardly.  They are working for the father of lies, the adversary.  They are working toward what they have always worked toward: Mystery Babylon.
Unfortunately for them, the Lord has plans for Babylon as well:

Rev 18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

As our corrupt politicians have pushed for inclusion and diversity, what has the Lord done in response?  He has created division.  Have you ever wondered why the harder they push racial issues and ecumenicalism, the divide has grown larger?  The harder they push one way, the more push back they get in the opposite direction.  There is a reason Trump was elected.  In years past there is no way he would have stood a chance but because of the radical push to the left by our politicians, the media and globalist corporations, an opposite reaction took place pushing back to the right.  None of this was coincidence.  All things serve the Lord our God, whether they know it or like it or not.

There is a movie on Amazon that I highly recommend called The Enemies Within.  It should be a real wake up of just how close we came to going off the edge of the cliff had Clinton won the presidency.  It is also a sobering wake up call that shows how the clock is ticking on America, the western world, and Israel by extension.  The democrats in America could care less about immigrants but they push for them to invade the west knowing that 80% of them will vote democrat in elections.  What does that mean as millions of immigrants flood the west, and become eligible to vote?  What it means is, unless the Lord performs another miracle for the United States, there will never be another republican president again, ever.  Not that the republicans are much better but the Democrats/Socialists, are actually closet communists who are in bed with radical Islam to overthrow the governments, institutions and cultures of the west.

How could this happen ^^?  How could the western world find itself staring in the face of its own destruction?  Look no further than the rejection of our Father in heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.  That is how we arrived here.  Of course this should be no surprise to us as our Lord told us what would happen a couple thousand years in advance.

We need to thank the Lord our God for the reprieve He has given us from the onslaught that continues against us each and every day.  With Trump, we have been given a little more time before the communists and their radical Islamic partners take over.

So now what?  What can we do?

While we are on this earth, all the power of heaven is available to us.  We can bind and loose.  We can move mountains through prayer.  We need to pray.  We need to pray that the Lord will continue to expose and destroy the powers that work against us both in the heavens and here on earth.  Our God never told us to roll over and play dead.  He also never told us to get involved with the corrupt political systems.  He did tell us to pray without ceasing.

1 Thess 5:16Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19Quench not the Spirit. 20Despise not prophesyings. 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

That means pray about everything, all the time.  Never stop.  Why?  Prayer makes a difference.  Prayer changes things.  Prayer moves all kinds of mountains, including corrupt political mountains.

The odds stacked against us seem overwhelming, but that's just how our Lord likes it.  What appears to be overwhelming odds to us is a yawn and pinky finger work for our God.  Our Lord is not worried in the slightest about what the globalist satanic coven plans to do to this world.  Our God, The Almighty has plans of His own and it is His will, and His plans that stand.

9Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God,

and there is none like me,10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient

times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all

my pleasure:

Glory to God.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours in abundance.

Problem and Solution

The problems we face are obvious and all around us.  The solution to those problems are found in the Word of our God and Father in heaven.  It has been said here many times before but it is worth repeating, the problems this world faces are not social, not racial, not economic, not political....they are spiritual.  Spiritual problems demand spiritual solutions.  Its that simple.  The only solutions that are going to work come from the Word of the Living God.

Sometimes its important to remember these things as we look around us and see this world bent on destruction.  It was all, 100% foretold thousands of years ago.  Our God told us what is coming, He told us how to deal with it and His record is flawless.  Keep going back to your book of solutions, which is your Bible.  Pray without ceasing about all things large and small.  Believe you have received what you are asking for.

James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Wars and Rumors of War

Matt 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Whats going on in the world these days?  Exactly everything the Lord told us would happen.  And?  And, we were told not to be troubled, these things must come to pass.  We see the nation rising against nation, kingdom against kingdom, famines, pestilences and earthquakes.  Where does that put us?  The beginning of sorrows.  The trick is we do not know where the sorrows end and the tribulation begins but we do know we are getting closer to the time of the tribulation day by day.

The Lord also told us He is coming back at least two more times.  One is the unexpected coming, the other is the expected coming (the "second coming").  We see both of these two distinct comings laid out for us in Matt 24:

Matt 24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Matt 24:36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,

but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the

Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating

and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into

the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also

the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall

be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall

be taken, and the other left.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this,

that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,

he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Words matter.  Specifically, His Words matter.  When He talks about "they" and "ye" we need to pay attention.  He is clearly making a differentiation between different groups of people here.

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

To be understood correctly, the Word must be ^^^ rightly divided.  Right division of the Word to correctly interpret the Word can only come from the Spirit of the Lord:

John 16:13 King James Version (KJV)

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Do we know how much time we have left?  Absolutely not.  What do we know?  We know with absolute certainty that we have less time today than we did yesterday.  One way or another, either through death or the unexpected coming of the Lord we are one day close today to standing before the Lord than we were yesterday.  Nobody guaranteed us we will see tomorrow which requires readiness today and every day to meet the Lord.  This is exactly what our Lord counseled us in Words like this:

32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven,

neither the Son, but the Father.

33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of

man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his

servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch

ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at

midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find

you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

The Lord is not wordy so when He repeats something over and over again He is putting a neon sign over it.  Watch, be ready.  Ready for what?  To meet the Lord.  When should we watch and be ready?  Since we do not know (purposefully) the number of days allotted for each of us on this earth, nor do we know the day of His unexpected coming we must be watching and ready to meet our Lord right now, today.

Everything is going according to plan.  We are exactly where we need to be on the Lord's timeline because He Himself is managing that timeline.  The election of Trump (which pretty much nobody saw coming) is evidence of this.  The Lord is able to put the brakes on current events and He is able to put the accelerator down to keep this world and all of its inhabitants exactly on the timeline He has prescribed to work out His Word with flawless perfection.

The Opioid Epidemic

There is a scourge sweeping the world we know as the opioid epidemic.  VICE news has done some eye opening videos on this issue:

Video 1

Video 2

Even President Trump has mentioned this epidemic in some of his recent speeches.  What is going on?  What brought on this epidemic?  What is the source of this scourge?  The answer can be given in one sentence:  the loss of hope.  That's it.

We have a generation of young people who look around at the world and have become so depressed by what they see, the only answer they see (within their reach) is opioids.  What this amounts to is wholesale murder of a generation.  These kids see and hear what is being preached to them by the media and society and many of them nod their heads yes to it but deep down inside their spirit, their conscience tells them it is wrong.  Many of them likely cannot put their finger on the problem.  They see the whole world marching down this road to destruction so the reasoning goes, if everybody else is doing it, and agreeing with it, it must be right...right?  Wrong.

The media has blood on its hands.  Those in government who advocate the perversions we see around us also have blood on their hands.  Here is what it boils down to:

When a society removes the God of hope from every square inch of public life, people become hopeless.  Its that simple:

Romans 15:13  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So we know the bad news, that's what is all around us.  The good news is right here ^^^^.  There is a Spirit, who can fill you up to the point where you literally overflow with hope.  That sounds like an answer to me....Unfortunately, our enemies in high places-both spiritually and in this world have done everything in their power to remove our God and His Spirit from the eyes, ears and hearts of every living creature on earth.  Now we see the consequences of such actions.  Do the research, how many mass shootings were there before prayer was removed from the schools?  Such things were unheard of.  How many opioid epidemics were there before prayer was removed from schools?  Such things were unheard of.

We serve the God of hope, who can cause people to overflow with hope.  One would think people, especially today would be beating down doors to find out how to get this God, and get this hope.  There is no problem we face today that cannot be solved by a health dose of Jesus Christ and His Spirit:

Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is before all things, that means He comes FIRST.  And in Him all things hold together which is why this world is falling apart.  Fine sounding arguments wont work.  Reasoning and logic will not work, what will work is His presence and His power.  When our God shows up with His power, everything must stand down, every problem, every dilemma, every argument, every lie, every power, everything must sit down, shut up and/or be removed.

This is the difference between people sitting in pews day after day, year after year and slowly rotting away, and those have life transforming encounters with our God.  The difference is His presence and power.  How many people have "gone to church" for decades without ever seeing a real miracle or ever experiencing the Lord's power?  Isnt there something wrong with that?  We cannot "go to church" because we are the Church.  Wherever a true believer in Jesus Christ is, there the Church is.  We are living stones

1 Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

We know the problem, but we also know the answer.  He is the answer.  The enemy has come to create a generation of captives, and to slay them but our God came to set those captives free

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

If the Spirit of Jesus Christ is in you, then His Spirit is in you.  If His Spirit is in you, then you are someone's answer to the hell on earth that has been unleashed against mankind.

The Fall of Babylon

Look around at what is happening to America, then compare it to what the Lord said He would do to Babylon:

Jer 51:12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the

watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which

he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come,

and the measure of thy covetousness.

14The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men,

as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

We can look at both America and the west in general (specifically western Europe) and see this is exactly what the Lord has done.  Europe has been invaded by a foreign Islamic army.  They have been trying to do the same thing to America but the logistics of the invasion are more complicated by the distance from Islamic countries.  That part of the invasion is only phase 1 of the destruction.  Phase two which is simultaneous are the indigenous politicians and population who are also working for the destruction of these countries.  Merkel in Germany and those who support her are a good example of this.  This is an unprecedented in history type of event.  The people of a nation are actively working to replace themselves with foreigners.

In America we see the same exact thing playing out in a slightly different way.  This has everything to do with the immigration debate and those who support unrestricted immigration.  They could care less about the immigrants, what they care about is the dissolution of America (and the west).  Everything that America and the west stood for is being dissolved.  Who put it in the hearts of men to accomplish all this?  Our God did.

What is playing out is nothing short of the destruction of end time Babylon.  Our Lord was very clear, there is an end time Babylon just as there was an ancient Babylon.  The common factor between both ancient and end time Babylon is the spirit working through it (our enemy).

Rev 18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

If you have been wondering what is happening to Europe and America, this is it.  The Lord God is carrying out His purposes just as they are written.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  May thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth just as it is in heaven!  His will is: Babylon destroyed.  He told us everything from the very beginning so we can understand the times we are living in.  Instead of fear, this should provide great encouragement to us who believe.  Our God is absolutely positively in 100% control of everything that is taking place in the world today.  There is no secret society, no criminal conspiracy, nor any plan of our spiritual enemy whatsoever that is hidden from Him who sees all things (our God).

Job 28:24for he views the ends of the earth

and sees everything under the heavens.

Our God has a plan for this earth and for all those who live upon it.  His plan is right on schedule.  Glory to God!

Outward Manifestations

The social, political and economic problems facing this world are all symptoms, outward manifestations of the real problem.  The real problem facing this world is spiritual.  Almost everyone we see and hear around us, unfortunately including so called Church 'leaders' are telling us to engage the social, political and economic problems.  That is treating the symptoms instead of the disease.  Imagine if a patient had cancer and the only thing the doctors treated them for was a sore throat.  What would happen?  The patient would die.  So it is with this world:

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


If Christians want to "do something" they need to forget the ways of this world and take hold of the ways of our Kingdom and PRAY.  That's right, while people are running around trying to move a bucket full of sand by focusing on politics etc, there are a few out there who believe what our God told us when He said this:

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Through faith and prayer you can move mountains.  Getting involved in all this wordly nonsense you can move molehills.  You figure out which makes more sense....
