THE ANSWER TO ALL THE EVIL WE SEE IN THIS WORLD

 If you have been watching current events then you should be aware that not only is the Unites States in deep trouble but almost all nations are experiencing conditions that most people have never seen.  Here in the United States there is violence breaking out in many cities and people either ignorantly or deliberately are breaking federal laws about illegal immigration and on college campuses praising terrorist organizations.  We have seen the murders of citizens and attempted murder of Donald Trump.  While I am apolitical I am not stupid and I follow the command of Jesus to watch events.  Mark 13:37  The division in the United States runs very deep between the two major political parties; Democrats and Republicans.  I do not see either side willing to give up what they stand for.  The violence seems to come from the Democratic left and is being encouraged by Democratic Party leaders.  From Governors to Mayors, house and senate leaders from the Democratic Party have been pushing agendas that the majority of Americans don’t want or support.  In Europe the Islamic people they brought into their countries have been causing big problems and they are feared by leaders and citizens.  There is the war in Ukraine and the Middle East accompanied by a growing wave of antisemitism.  The world is a mess.

What we are seeing is the perilous times predicted by the Apostle Paul.  2 Timothy 3:1,2,3,4,5,6,7   1 Timothy 4:1,2,3  and Peter 2 Peter 3:3  Jude 1:18  and Jesus Matthew 24:10,11,12   These ongoing events have the potential to produce the crisis of the end of the age that I call the false tribulation.  It is a time when the antichrist will appear and seem to bring peace as he forms a ten nation alliance.  From Jerusalem he will rule for almost 7 years.  He will be involved in building the third Temple, bring back the animal sacrifices and bring the world under the law.

I do not know exactly when or how these things will all come together but scripture says they will.  The true church of GOD must stay out of these things that are coming and remain politically neutral and continue living in GODS will.  Because we love GOD and neighbor we do no harm to anyone and therefore will not be perceived as a threat to anyone.  After this false tribulation ends then there will come a false millennium.  The Jews will think antichrist is their messiah and false Christians will think he is Jesus.  At the midpoint of the 7 year alliance the antichrist breaks the agreement and declares himself GOD. The Jews will reject him because they have always known GOD isn’t a man but the false Christians who are 98% Trinitarian think GOD can be a man and follow the antichrist and accept his mark.  This begins the great tribulation which is the worst time in all of human history and will be cut short by the return of Jesus otherwise all of humanity would die.  Matthew 24:22   

I am aware that prophecy is like looking in a dark place making it hard to see and when details are blurred, but if we are watching as events unfold more light will shine that allows more to be known. If we do not watch those days will come upon as a thief and we will not see and be in darkness as to what is happening.  1 Thessalonians 5:1,2,3,4,5,6   

The church of the living GOD in order to be protected by GOD from the times coming we must be faithful to the gospel, not deny the name of Christ and endure to the end.  Revelation 3:8,9,10  

 Even though what is coming is horrible beyond words to describe it must happen to bring back Jesus.  Only the FATHER knows the day and the hour of all these things.  We HIS people pray for HIS kingdom to come to Earth because the only answer to all the political problems of division, violence, murder and all manner of evil is the return of Jesus Christ.

GODS LOVE (AGAPE) VERSUS JUSTICE

There is a debate online about love and justice and sadly most think justice is more important than love.  If a person wants justice without love then that is what GOD will give them.  Matthew 7:12  Does not scripture give us an understanding that it is GODS love, not HIS justice that saves us?  

There are those who attempt to compare GODS justice to unconverted mans human justice administered by human governments but there is no comparison at all.  GOD is going to end all human governments and replace them with HIS own government.  What all humanity deserves is everlasting death because they all have sinned and under the law to sin is to die an everlasting death. Christ saves us from the second death not the first death because it has been appointed by GOD that we all die simply because we are mortal.  Hebrews 9:27   GODS justice is tempered with mercy, compassion, love and the desire that no one perishes but has opportunity to repent.  2 Peter 3:9

There is only one way to die forever in the new covenant and that is by committing the unpardonable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and you must have the Holy Spirit in order to do this.  Justice in GODS eyes is very different from what carnal men believe.  Justice without GODS love is legalism, it is the covenant of death that GOD gave to Israel, the ministry of death.  2 Corinthians 3:7.  Under the Ten Commandments and the Law of Moses everyone dies, no one can fulfill the laws demands because everyone has sinned.  GOD gave the law to Israel to show humanity that Adams choice of trees was the wrong choice.   The law was to act as a deterrent to sin through fear of death, to define what sin is for the unrighteous man and to be a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.  Christ provided a way for us to escape the condemnation of the law to Passover into a new covenant the gives life and not death.  What made all of this possible was not justice, for justice demanded we die, it was GODS love.  John 3:16   GODS true justice is also tempered with GODS love.  HIS true justice is the second death, the lake of fire and is an act of GODS love because the people who commit the unpardonable sin are being tortured spiritually and unlike Satan and his demons can die forever to end their torture.  It is something like destroying a rabid animal.  GOD will go to the uttermost to save people but HE does have a limit to HIS patience.  Hebrews 7:25KJV

Those people that put justice ahead of GODS love are spiritually ignorant and delusional.  They really don’t know GOD, Christ or the message of the gospel.  I would much rather have the one who judges me do so with love than without love.

The Apostle John said GOD IS LOVE. The Apostle Paul said GODS love fulfills the law and that of all things GODS love is the greatest.  Only GODS love makes salvation possible, HIS justice is reserved at the end at a great white throne and a lake of fire into which those are cast who have committed the only sin that will justify their everlasting death.  GODS Justice is for those who refuse to love while having GODS Holy Spirit in them.  Whatever is not of GODS love is sin.

It seems as though the people who place justice over GODS love see themselves as without sin because they don’t need love but desire justice on all others they see as spiritually inferior.  This sort reminds me of legalism and the false churches that promote the idea that Christians must keep the law.  They want to see other people receive their idea of justice while they escape due to their self righteousness.  They are just like the unconverted Saul of Tarsus and have yet to meet Jesus Christ.  

Matthew 6:33 does not say, “seek you first the kingdom of GOD and HIS justice” it says HIS righteousness.  John 3:16 does not say, “for GOD so much wanted justice for the world that HE gave HIS only begotten son” but that GOD loved the world.  John 3:17 does not say, “for GOD did send HIS son into the world to bring HIS justice to condemn the world, to convict the world with HIS Justice”  A human mind that thinks this way is not of GOD.  To place justice above love is Satanic.  GOD does want justice but it is tempered with HIS love.  The worlds idea of justice is perverted with Satanic lies.  The carnal world is to this day under the law, the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, Romans 3:19,20   The church is not under these laws but under GODS grace which is HIS love for us and by HIS Holy Spirit gives us HIS own GODLY love so that we by it can fulfill the intent of the law.  What the law could not do GOD did through Jesus. Romans 8:3  To desire justice over love is spiritual ignorance as the scriptures confirm.

A FATHER AND HIS SON

 There was a man who had a son who kept company with others of his own age that were of very questionable character.  One day while with these friends and unknown to him they robbed and killed a man and all of them were apprehended by the police and charged with murder and robbery.  The father believed his sons claim of innocence in the crime and at great cost hired the best defense attorney he could find, even getting a second mortgage on his house to pay the attorney.  The trial came and the attorney was able to convince the jury of the young man’s innocence and the father and son rejoiced together.  The day after the trial the father found out that his son was still keeping company with people of the same crowd as before.  What do you think about this ? 

 A man who is guilty of many things is led to Christ by GOD and is forgiven for all the sins he previously committed when he was in the world. The man was now not of the world anymore , he is now a citizen of the kingdom of GOD because he was taken out of all that darkness and brought into the light.  The man was no longer a citizen of Satans world or of all the nations that had their governments set up by Satan.  The man was purchased by GOD now and was GODS property.  Then as GOD watched the man , the man went back into the darkness, back to Satans government to cast his vote for one of Satans candidates.   What do you think GOD would think about that ?  GOD knew the man would have trials in his life but expected the man to come to him and cast all these cares upon GOD and in faith rely on GOD and not governments of men. The man didn’t see it that way and justified his actions by saying it would not show love to his family if he did not vote.  After all that GOD did for this man and called the man a son of GOD, a Citizen of GODS kingdom, forgave all his sins, sacrificed HIS own son , gave the man HIS Holy Spirit , brought the man out of this evil world of darkness into HIS marvelous light then the man goes back into  the darkness to participate in Satans government.  

People want to claim all the many blessings that GOD gives but sometimes fail to see what GOD requires of them.  HE says, “come out from among them and be separate and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you” ,  the unclean thing is this world but we through Christ have been cleansed. Once clean we are not to get dirty again.

Think on it.

SUBMITTING VERSES PARTICIPATING

 Submit = Strongs G5293 it means; to arrange under, to subordinate, to put in subjection.  It is a voluntary action to place yourself under a higher authority for the purpose of obeying or yielding 

Participate = Strongs G3348 or G2841 it means to share or take part in something or to have a share of or fellowship with, respectively. 

There is a huge difference between submitting and participating, I hope you see that.

Submitting to human governments does not imply participation in them.  GOD ALMIGHTY gave Satan authority over the Earth. It is Satan who sets up the rulers and has demons over each of them to influence them to do Satans will.  Luke 4:5,6  did you catch that, all the kingdoms of the world, are Satans and no one but GOD could have given them to him.  It is GODS will that we Christians submit to Satans governments , obey their laws, pay their taxes but under no circumstances participate in them.  The reason being that we not only avoid punishment but for , 1 Timothy 2:1,2  and Peter agrees,  1 Peter 2:13,14  see also Titus 3:1  Matthew 22:21  

Jesus did not involve himself in Earthly politics, he came to preach the gospel and give his life.  When the people wanted to take Jesus by force and make him king Jesus withdrew himself.  John 6:15. In both Satans offer and the people wanting Jesus to be king,  Jesus turned them both down.  Does that sound like Jesus wanted to be involved in politics ?  We must remember this, John 18:36  

 We true Christians obey Satans governments because GOD made Satan god of this world.  It is similar to King David still respecting Saul as King when Saul was evil and wanted to kill David.  As long as Saul was alive he was King of Israel, the Lords anointed, and David respected that because GOD had not yet removed Saul. 1 Samuel 24:10  We true Christians live in a world where GOD appointed Satan as god and we respect his governments and obey his laws, pay his taxes but are waiting like David did for GOD to remove Satan and replace him with Jesus Christ.  Proverbs 20:22  I hope you can understand this.  Just as Jesus is on this Earth so are we.  1 John 4:17. 

  There are many biblical principles that must be put together properly, rightly divided, and consideration for every word of GOD in any spiritual matter.  No one should read Romans 13 and say let’s go vote, let’s take part in Satans darkness thinking they are citizens of the nation they live in when the are to be citizens of the kingdom of GOD.   When you received the Holy Spirit you gave up all your “rights” of your former life and became GODS property, GOD owns you, HE purchased you with the blood of HIS son.  The saints are to die with Christ from this world and become living sacrifices and like Jesus live our lives for the kingdom of GOD.  Colossians 3:3   This is a total commitment.   If you consider yourself a citizen of the nation in which you currently live and actively participate in their government then listen to what Paul said, 2 Corinthians 6:14   1 Corinthians 10:21 Ephesians 5:6,7,8,9,10,11  John said this,  1 John 1:5,6,7  1 John 2:15,16,17   I have heard people say that they show love to their family and friends by voting as it is a way of placing a better politician in office over a poorer one.  GOD says, 1 Peter 5:7   Matthew 6:25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35   Philippians 4:6,7   Psalm 55:22 Hebrews 13:5,6   2 Corinthians 1:3,4   People who think voting is OK do not love their family or friends because they place faith in human government over faith in GOD.  They will deny they are doing this but are lying to themselves.  Jesus said, “without me you can do nothing”.  Jesus is your access to the only one who can help you, your family and friends. Ask yourself, why do I vote ?  Shakespeare, in Hamlet, wrote, “to thine own self be true”, this means don’t lie to yourself.  There is no excuse for you to take part in Satans government but if you come up with one then your lying to yourself.  You can’t pray to GOD to install righteous political leaders because GOD doesn’t install them, Satan does.  Then there is,”there is none righteous, no not one” .  Being in this world is a test for the saints to prove them worthy of the kingdom of GOD.  2 Thessalonians 1:5,6,7,8    You are to suffer as Christ did, take up your cross as Christ did but then you say, “I must go vote in Satans government to show love to my family and friends”.

Suffering under Satanic human governments is what we do and our reward is based upon our enduring it to the end, not taking part in it.  Acts 14:22  2 Timothy 3:12   John 16:33   Romans 8:17   By your own admission you desire to avoid suffering with Christ , you don’t want to really carry a cross, you want to have your say in a Satanic system thinking your doing it out of love when in reality you love your family and friends more than you love Christ.  This is misplaced love, misplaced faith and a lack,of understanding of the hope of your calling.  Your mind is not thinking right, Philippians 4:8   Romans 12:2   Colossians 3:2  You are to think like Jesus Christ, let his mind be in you, is it in you ?

CONDONING SIN OUT OF HUMAN LOVE

I recently had a visit with a relative who has a homosexual grandson who is only 15 years old.  At that age I find it difficult to believe that this young fellow has any comprehension of what he claims to be.  This relative approves and condones the grandson’s homosexuality because of love for him.  This is loving grandson more than GOD.  People say they are born that way, they say GOD made them homosexual.  I ask you, would a loving GOD create someone homosexual then in the scriptures condemn them as a sinner ?  Leviticus 18:22   Leviticus 20:13   1 Corinthians 6:9   GOD created humanity male and female saying, be fruitful and multiply, this is impossible with homosexuality.  All things GOD created can reproduce themselves in nature, homosexuality is not natural.   Jesus said there are only two genders.  Matthew 19:4  Genesis 1:27,28  Homosexuality is no worse a sin than adultery, fornication, murder or idol worship.  All sin leads to death.  Romans 6:23   Homosexuality is condemned in scriptures, it is called perversion and an abomination.  This is GODS view, it is HIS truth.  To not accept this is calling GOD a liar.  Adam sinned because he harkened to the voice of Eve rather than his GOD.  Genesis 3:17  Adam loved Eve more than his GOD.  This, my relative, loves their grandson more than GOD.  Anyone who loves anything more than GOD is an idolator.  Even with Christ it is the same, anyone loving any other person more than they love Jesus is not worthy of Jesus.  Matthew 10:37

My relative is of course a carnal person, without the Holy Spirit,  therefore I expect this type of thinking from them.  However, this relative believes they are a Christian.  This is the way of the carnal world, justifying themselves and there loved ones of behavior that is sin because of spiritual ignorance.  The parents of Tyler Robinson, who murdered Charlie Kirk, turned in their own son to authorities.  They loved their son but could not condone his behavior.  I can respect that.  I would do the same if one of my children was involved in any sin, I would still love them but I would never condone their sin.   Many parents today do not do this, they do what my relative did.  All sin is of the Devil, sinners are the Devils children, the children of disobedience.  The saints are GODS children, we are to obey GOD and Christ.  1 John 3:2

The false Christian world accepts sins and condones them when it involves themselves or others they love.  Whatever happened to go and sin no more ?  

While true compassion involves genuine concern for someone’s well being condoning sin is harmful and implies that sinful behavior is acceptable, encourages its continuation that may lead to further pain and separation from what is good.  It is a misunderstanding of true love where emotional connection is mistakenly prioritized over a persons harmful and destructive behavior.

If you truly do love someone you need to make this distinction very clear.   You should not hate anyone but you should not condone their sins either.  2 John 1:9,10,11  To approve of, be happy for and condone sin is to yourself be a partaker in their wicked work.  2 John 1:10,11  If you have anyone in your life that you know to be involved in sin, you can still show GODS love to them but should never accept what they do.  Good advise is to separate yourself from people who are bad company.  1 Corinthians 15:33  Psalm 1:1   

Parents, in order to avoid the shame of having a homosexual offspring jump on the acceptance and approval wagon to condone their child’s sin. Today this is easy because society has accepted homosexuality as “normal”.  Apparently they don’t care about what GOD has to say about homosexuality.  They harken to the voices of society rather than that of GOD.  They are eating forbidden fruit, they partake of the evil of their child.  This happens with other things too; unwed mothers, teen sex, transsexuality and sex change operations.  Would a parent condone theft or murder by their child, some do.  It is not love to condone any sin committed by anyone for any reason because it encourages the sinner if you approve of the sin.  Look at the recent murder of the health insurance executive by Luigi Mangione.  There are people that justify his crime.  In a recent survey 45% of the people questioned said it would be justified to kill Elon Musk and 55% said the same for Donald Trump.

This is the result of Satanic influence in the minds of many people that confuses their ability to see right from wrong and good from evil and actually reverse their definitions.  Isaiah 5:20   These people suppress the truth to practice wickedness.  Romans 1:18   Prophetic scriptures warn of these things in the last days.  2 Timothy 3:1,2,3,4,5   1 Timothy 4:1   These wicked people are following the teachings of demons.  The CDCP or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 38% of all gun deaths in 2023 were murder and the total murders that year in the U.S. were 22,830 .  It has since then increased dramatically.  As horrible as this sounds being a homosexual is no worse a sin than murder in GODS righteous judgment all sin brings the death penalty.  Any loved one you may have that commits sin will not be in the kingdom of GOD.  Revelation 21:8   Galatians 5:19,20,21  1 Corinthians 6:9,10   Ephesians 5:5   Colossians 3:5,6   1 Timothy 1:9,10    This is extremely serious, so if you are guilty of supporting, accepting, condoning any sin for any reason then you have also sinned.  Repent of this, ask GOD to forgive you and for the power from HIS spirit to overcome this weakness and HE will.

WHAT DEATH DOES JESUS SAVE US FROM ?

 All humans die because we are mortal.  There is the lie Satan told Eve, “thou shalt not surely die” ,  that is indeed a lie. No one’s spirit goes to heaven conscious. The dead know nothing.  Ecclesiastes 9:5   Psalm 146:4   Isaiah 38:18,19   Psalm 115:17   Isaiah 26:14   John 3:13   Jesus Christ is the only human being that entered heaven very much alive and conscious.  All human spirits do go back to GOD but are totally inoperative, cannot function without a body.  These spirits await a resurrection of the dead of which are two, first and second.  The first is the true church, the second is everybody else that GOD never called and chose in this age.  

Given this information it cannot be the first death Jesus saves people from.  It is the second death he saves us from.  The law never provided a rescue from the second death, only Christ in the new covenant does that.  The law serves to condemn all humanity to that second death and it is only through Christ that anyone can receive a reprieve.  Romans 3:19. True Christians can escape the condemnation of the law when they are in Christ. Romans 8:1  The Holy Spirit of the FATHER gives us GODS love,  Romans 5:5 , that will fulfill what the law demanded from us that we could not do. Romans 8:3   GODS love fulfills the intent of the law.  Romans 13:10   Jesus gave us two commandments of love GOD and neighbor that are greater than the Ten Commandments.  Mark 12:29,30,31   We become GODS workmanship, GOD works in us to obey HIS will.  Philippians 2:13

You do no more work in the law because GOD works in you.  You take a spiritual sabbath for the rest of your life, resting from your struggle to keep laws you could never keep and condemn you to death. Matthew 11:28  The choice of law or grace is what the two trees in Eden symbolized, one life the other death.  GOD gave Adam what Adam chose, death, while in GODS mind HE already provided a way to escape this death sentence.  Jesus, the second Adam, obeyed his GOD, harkened to the voice of his GOD and has become the tree of life for us as we must eat his flesh and drink his blood else we have no life in us.  John 6:3  Jesus is married to his Eve, the church, his bride. The church is pregnant with the children of GOD that will be born into spirit existence at the return of Jesus.  Just as Jacob claimed Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh as his own sons , GOD claims us as HIS own sons.  Genesis 48:5   

There was the greatest price ever paid by anyone to make all these things happen, GOD sacrificed HIS only son as Abrahams sacrifice of Isaac was a type. Genesis 22:12   There are parallels like this throughout the Old Testament writings.  

The only hope humanity has of escaping the death penalty of the old covenant laws is what GOD did through Jesus Christ.  

ALL THE NATIONS ARE RULED BY DEMONS

Psalm 96:5   Revelation 16:14   Ephesians 6:12 

Revelation 9:20   Deuteronomy 32:17   Psalm 106:37   1 Corinthians 10:20   Leviticus 17:7 

2 Chronicles 11:15   1 Timothy 4:1

In both old and New Testaments it is recorded that people were worshiping demons.  It is no different today.  True Christians are involved in a spiritual warfare with demonic forces that control every nation on earth.  GOD gave authority of the earth to Satan after Adam sinned.  Proof of this is in Luke 4:5,6,7   Matthew 4:8,9   2 Corinthians 4:4   Ephesians 2:2   1 John 5:19   Revelation 12:9

Acts 26:18   Colossians 1:13,14   

Every nation on earth, yes even the U.S.A. , is ruled over by demonic forces.  Satan appoints the leaders and influences them to do his will.  Satan gains the following of the people with a mix of good and evil but also blurs the minds of the people from discerning good and evil.  Satan promises liberty to the people but turns them into his servants of corruption.  Satan continues to promote the various governments on the earth to further enslave the people.  They are all children of the Devil and do their fathers will, children of disobedience, children of darkness.  It does not matter what nation you live in Satan controls its leaders and the people.  You can name any leader of any nation; Putin, Xi, Macron, Merz, Starmer, Netanyahu or Trump all of them are under the control of Satan.  Either this is true or the scriptures are all wrong.  The scriptures were inspired by GOD ALMIGHTY so if you don’t believe them you call GOD a liar.  This is a very difficult thing to accept for many people that somehow think their nation is special or their nation is GODS nation, GOD hasn’t had a nation since ancient Israel and HE divorced Israel a long time ago. The nations in GODS sight are less than nothing. Isaiah 40:17   Daniel 4:35    All the nations in the future are going to be conquered by the kingdom of GOD.  At that time all people will realize that they were serving Satan and not GOD.  Shame will cover them and they will loathe themselves,  Ezekiel 36:31   True Christians are not involved with Satan and his demons and just like Jesus would turn down the offer Satan made to him, after all what is there to gain if you get the whole world but lose your own soul.
