Many Americans are so focused on politics and their own personal comfort they believe there is now a pause in the evil of things because we have a new president.
This could not be farther from the truth, this is not a pause, it is the next step toward the end times scenario.
We know we are living in the end of the end times because of what God tells us in the Bible. This matter of new leadership in our country is a continuation and acceleration of events leading to the antichrist. Our new president was placed there by God not to save our country but to accelerate the end times events. This is why I believe the rapture of the church is very near.
The people are spouting mantras such as "peace and safety" more than any other phrase.
Some think they have seen a change in our new president, but with Spiritual eyes I can see that the change has been "religious", not a completely changed heart as Christ does when someone becomes born again.
Our president is very supportive of Israel and has a Jewish son-in-law, and has not been born again. I expect him to support the building of the third temple where sacrifices will be practiced.
Because the Jews who are not born again and continue to disbelieve in Christ they will want their temple built and their sacrifices resumed. There are some born-again Jews in Israel who will be taken in the rapture.
To practice sacrifices to God is to deny Jesus Christ who was the final sacrifice. The animal sacrifices of the Old Testament were a picture of Christ to come, they never took away the consequences and stain of sin. These sacrifices were pointing to Christ the final and real sacrifice and that has now been fulfilled at the cross.
It is not until the end of the tribulation that Israel with trust in Christ and be saved from hell. 2/3rds of her people will perish in all the tribulation and the 1/3rd remaining will trust in Christ and take the gospel to the rest of the world during the final days of the tribulation.
It is likely our new president will carry such intimidation and weight that he will be able to convince those countries surrounding Israel to make a treaty with Israel.
I see our new president as the next step in the process of a treaty and a time of "peace and safety" for Israel.
However, and this is a big however, the peace will be a false peace and will facilitate the rule of the antichrist who will break the treaty and implement his rule over the earth. Not all countries will be on board with this and there will be great turmoil and carnage because of it.
I am not saying our new president is the antichrist, I am saying he is just another cog in the wheel of events that lead to the culmination of the tribulation. He doesn't know he is a cog in this wheel, but it makes sense because of his support for Israel.
The political Christians in this country are missing these clues because they are focused on peace and safety and the support of Isreal. I too support Israel but know the end times events are leading up to the antichrist rule.
The antichrist will do great false signs and wonders in a time when the people have been so deceived they will not see that it is all false. This is a frightening thought because we see great deception right now as this country clamors for a leader instead of following Christ. They place their trust in their own safety and prosperity rather than in Christ.
Matthew 24:24. "For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect."
We are living in the days just like those of Noah when everyone is thinking with their own mind promoting their own desires unconcerned about God and His wrath.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
"The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. / For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, .."
1 John 4:1
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world."
2 Peter 2:1
"Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves."
There are many well known preachers who are promoting believers working real hard to save a country that is full of corruption and wickedness under the dilution that if we all work very hard to thwart the evil we will be able to turn the country around to be a righteous nation.
This is fantasy thinking because we know a nation so full of evil as ours is will not be turned around, but is under the wrath of God. I do not hear our new president saying things like; "we must turn from sin toward Christ." He is saying without equivicaiton that we need to work for freedom, prosperity and security, never a mention of God's righteousness.
Isaiah 1:4-5 " 4Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children of depravity! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him. 5 Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.…"
This passage was written to Israel and is applicable to any nation that acts the way it did at that time.
Born-again believers are a remnant in this world, and the preachers expect that remnant to march into the halls and venues of this country and fight to change things? This is ludicrous, not because God cannot work but because we are distracted from the gospel which is the only saving power for any individual.
A nation will not come to Christ because we are fighting against the evils, they will come to Christ by hearing the gospel.
While "Christians" are fighting the evil in the country they are neglecting the gospel to individuals and in my estimation fighting a lost cause that God has ordained for these final days. It is as if they are fighting against the last days prophesies in order to feel like they are "doing something" for God but in reality they are working against God's plan.
In our country right now many Christians are essentially attempting to empty the ocean with a gallon bucked and a tea spoon.
Jeremiah 2:13
“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water."
What did Christ say to us when He declared these things would happen in the end times? Pay close attention to these words;
Luke 21:28
"28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near."
God never said to look all around, look down, look sideways, He said to "look up." Keeping our eyes focused on the truth and looking to Him while we speak the gospel to the remaining few who will listen and to those He sends to us.
Keep looking up, we are going home soon because there are very few left who will listen to the truth.
