The self-esteem teaching that has permeated our culture from churches to schools for the past 60 years has destroyed and fractured all systems that used to work together for the greater good.
The individualistic mentality that comes with this self-exaltation has shattered every institution from the government, schools, and help organizations to churches and families.
Personal rights have been elevated to god status overriding the natural desire to be helpful to others. God placed it in every mother to protect her children even if it meant sacrificing her own life to preserve the safety of her children.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 describes our time, the times of the end of the end in which it is like the days of Noah when everyone did what was right in their own eyes without regard for anyone else.
There is more anger and disrespect than ever before in culture. Yes, it has always been around since the beginning but it has increased all over the world, making it difficult to find any place on earth where the culture has preserved righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult (ragingly insane) times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
Praising the Lord every day for our hope as born-again believers we know He has a purpose for us in the midst of all this mess and that one day He will come for us whether it be through death or the rapture, we have much to look forward to in connecting for eternity with Jesus Christ in person as well as all those others who have trusted Him too.
Our reunion is going to be amazing for the seven years we are in heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb while the triubliation is taking place on this earth.
Our time in heaven at our marriage supper will be something amazing and wonderful. However, those who are left behind will be experiencing the most horrific time of torment on this earth. The first half of these 7 years will be monstrous natural disasters and the second half will be demonic influence and torture for those who are so devastated by the time, will be asking to die but will not be able to, they will cry out for the rocks to fall on them.
Revelation 6:15-17 "…15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. 17 For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”…"
Those who trust in Christ after the rapture will endure terrible things but will be saved for eternity. Many will be martyred and others will be preserved in the caves until the end of it all.
What a wonderful time when at the end of the 7 years we will come back with Christ as he destroys evil upon the earth and sets up His kingdom.
This is one of the reasons I am not excited about the politics of this earth, I know my King is coming and He will rule over the entire earth with a rod of iron, there will be perfect Justice when King Jesus rules the earth.
Revelation 17:14 and 19:16: Jesus will return to earth as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Revelation 1:5: Jesus is the "prince of the kings of the earth" and rules over all human affairs.
Matthew 28:18: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me".
Luke 10:22: Jesus says, "All things have been handed over to me by my Father".
John 5:22: Jesus says, "The Father . . . has given all judgment to the Son".
Through all the hardships and lack of companionship we endure now we always have the hope and promises of God for what is coming very soon!!!
Hallalujah!!!!
