I am beginning to glimpse what it might be like when the anti-christ deceives the world with "perfect peace." The appearance of wonderful peace will have the heads of most people spinning in a sort of euphoria, as though all of a sudden everything is made perfect.
There are so many who are elated at the installation of our new president as though all the things we have wanted for the last 20 years are going to occur.
Yes, I admit it looks good right now even though it is mostly talk. But something is amiss, I just can't put my finger on it.
Our President Elect still owns businesses that do not honor God. He has a wife who still dresses as though she doesn't understand what modesty is all about.
Our new President Elect seems to be courting Russia in covert ways, the very nation that will come against Israel in prophesy, while at the same time claiming to place an embassy in Jerusalem, at a time that would cause the Arab world to rise up in protest, even possibly causing all out war.
Don't get me wrong, I am not against the Embassy in Jerusalem nor am I against many other things that are being proposed, but I do believe that it is the beginning of end times events, wars that are predicted in Ezekiel.
Not very much has been done yet, so far nearly everything is just words. Even if some of the things we think we want, just as the dissolution of Obama care, the wall that divides the United States and Mexico is built and other matters that conservatives are up in arms about actually get done, what has all that to do with repentance toward God for our sins as a nation?
All the things I hear people talking about that are going to "make America Great Again", are of little value if the nation does not repent, realize their sin and trust Christ.
Does anyone see a massive revival toward God going on yet? I suggest that we do not. Everything I see happening has to do with physical, financial and moral well being, not too much if anything about repentance and brokenness over sin.
Acts 19:18
"Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices."
1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
James 5:16
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
Proverbs 28:13
"Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy."
Psalm 32:5
"I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah"
