I think enough time has passed

Concerning Charlie Kirk

My heart, sympathies, and prayers go out to the family of Charlie Kirk, I ask that the Lord give his wife and children solace in their time to grief and loss.

I’m not going to write much about the man Charlie Kirk, he accomplished much good for the faith, for this country, and ideas and life had positively influenced millions, directly and indirectly.

Not having met the man personally, I did on occasion listen to him online. I was impressed with his passion and strengths, but like all humans he had his shortcomings. One of the primary reasons I didn’t concern myself with his work was his unwavering support for political zionism.

I’m not anti-jewish nor anti-religious zionist, Our Creator was the very first official Zionist as expressed in Psalms 2


6. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

There are dozens of verses referencing Zion as Holy as well as being the habitation and throne of the Messiah, the Son of GOD. So anyone who wants to throw out a senseless label 🏷,  go away dumb dumb.

I didn’t and still do not agree with the modern iteration of political zionism. I think it’s taken the nation of Israel in the wrong direction. It’s attempts at manipulation of foreign sovereign nations through blackmail and other means to me is sickening.

The wholesale genocide and atrocities being committed against others is at some point, going to draw down the wrath of the Almighty.

The jewish faith and people of Hebrew descent do have a place in the coming of the Messianic Age but they’re going to go through judgment just like everyone else before that Age arrives. Modern day Israel (which includes people of various faiths and ethnicities living in political Israel) is not above reproach, they are human as well and make mistakes. Their histories as recorded in the Old Testament record their continual screwups.

Across generations the descendants of Jacob continually fell away from their faith, they turned their backs to their God, they were judged, punished, they repented and were forgiven. Israel wasn’t perfect then and it isn’t perfect now.

Israel, like every country, has the inherent right to defend itself, it’s people, and nation against others, but that doesn’t confer the right to commit genocide.

Here I’ll let Charlie Kirk expand on that thought which I agree with him completely here.

Scripture of the Day

Revelations 14


9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

From verses 14 through 19 we have two separate reaping’s identified with two doing the reaping, one looked to be the Son of Man or Jesus, this in my opinion is the rapture. With the other being a different angel gathering the grapes or whatever it is to be used for the wrath of GOD.

In the prior verses 9 through 11 we read and see the end result of those who worship the beast or antichrist and it isn’t a pretty picture. Verse 9 identifies their sin, “…If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,…”. These things are mentioned here in verse 9 as identifiers for GOD’S wrath:

1. Worshipping the beast or his image

    2. Receiving the mark on or in their right hand or forehead

    These people chose to turn away from the love of the Father as expressed through the Son Jesus the Christ, instead choosing a false Messiah.

    In these verses we see almost the final separation of humanity into believer and unbelievers. Here we may well have an identifier for the potential timing of the so-called rapture, this among other examples are why I lean towards the prewrath interpretation of the rapture and dismiss the common dispensationalist view of a pretribulational eschatology.

    Bless GOD and have a blessed day.

    Scripture of the Day

    Mark 15


    8. And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
    9. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
    10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
    11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
    12. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
    13. And they cried out again, Crucify him.
    14. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

    This is what’s considered antisemitic by the Frankists pretending to be Jews.

    Scripture of the Day

    Job 19

    25. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
    26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
    27. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

    Job is believed to be one of the oldest books in the Bible, here in his misery Job knows that he will see GOD with his own flesh, his redeemed body he receives at the resurrection. So even in the oldest books of Scripture the fathers of our faith knew of and believed in a future resurrection, one where they would see their redeemer.

    Scripture of the Day

    Micah 3


    9. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
    10. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
    11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

    The Season

    In the Book of Revelation Chapter 18 we read about the coming judgment of a nation/kingdom/people referred to as Mystery Babylon the Great.
    Here are those beginning verses,

    2. And 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.
    3. For 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.
    4. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
    5. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

    This begins with the announcement that Babylon has fallen. This fallen state happened because of their sins. We read further about that fallen state; it's become a habitation of devils, I would assume literally and metaphorically. The cultural social cohesion of this place collapsing into literal evil.

    We read it becomes a home to every foul spirit, again literal and metaphorical in nature. These foul spirits are a reflection of the hearts of those living there; anger, deceit, bitterness, malice, theft, lies, murders, adulteries and sexual abominations, all of the vices of wickedness manifesting themselves in its cultural and social collapse.

    This wickedness doesn't remain localized or regional but spreads outward across the borders to reach all the world. We read that the kings or rulers of nations committed fornication with this nation, again literal and metaphorical. Through lies and deceit rulers and merchants of the world became rich from the abundance of this nation's delicacies and merchandise.

    International trade is one of the hallmarks in identifying who this Mystery Babylon is. Not only trade but the other identifiers, the public evil of this place as well as its abundance of goods and services, its dealing in pleasures, both sexual and non-sexual.

    Then in verse 4 we read "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
    Here we can see that believers and those of faith do indeed reside in this place. In what state I'm not sure, but reflecting on the cultural and social conditions that exists one would assume the faithful are not in a very amicable environment where they can worship freely.
    Believers are told to leave, to flee from this nation because judgment and plagues are coming.

    In our day, today, in my mind there's only one nation on earth that can even come close to matching the descriptions defining Mystery Babylon and that is the United States.
    This country has collapsed, both spiritually, culturally, and socially, matching the wickedness which describes Mystery Babylon.
    Our political and economic situations reflecting similar relationships describing Mystery Babylon. Our major exports are dollars and pornography. Money and sex are two main features of America’s modern exceptionalism which are also highlighted in Mystery Babylon.
    All of those vices mentioned in Scripture about Mystery Babylon are reflected in American culture and exported around the world.

    Those few faithful remaining in this place are called to leave, I wonder how many will heed that call?

    The fallen state isn't an overnight phenomenon, it takes some time but when the cup is full judgment is issued and no time will be left.
    I do pray that the Spirit will give whomever this foreshadowing, that judgment is coming, that there is a call going out. That call maybe faint right now for some, but that call will continue to become louder as more eyes and hearts are opened.

    Jeremiah 8


    6. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
    7. Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

    Scripture of the Day

    John 1

    6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
    7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
    8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
    9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
    10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
    11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
    12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
    13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
    14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    Luke 13

    6. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
    7. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
    8. And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
    9. And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

    8. To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
    9. To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

    Scripture of the Day

    1st Peter 5
    1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
    2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
    3. Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
    4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
    5. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
    6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
    7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
    8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
    9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
    10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
    11. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
    12. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
    13. The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
    14. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
