God’s purposes during these turbulent times, are to unmask the futility of human kings to govern the world, and this is to prepare the world for the Rule & Reign of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, however and whatever is happening in Iran, in the USA, and anywhere else in the world, is not going to “be successful” by any human measure. Jesus says that we are not to worry about wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24: 6-13). Now I understand why Jesus said this. It’s because being caught up in the anger & fear of politics is a distraction because all the earthly things going on, are not the point. Read my very long blogpost, to hear what God is doing in the backdrop of all these apocalyptic events in the world.
All the arguing and posturing that goes on about “this and that” happening in Iran, in the USA, and elsewhere, is all vanity, and will be in vain. Let us get on with building the Kingdom of God, and ignore the best we can, the burning going on, around us. So, I have believed this and have been speaking out about this, for the longest time. This idea was confirmed to me a few days ago. I came across a youtube short via serenditipity aka God, that explains that the phrase, “Nations will rise up against nations” from the Bible about the End Times is not translated correctly in English. In the Greek, it’s not an active subject, but a passive subject. It should read, “Nations will be made to rise up against nations. Kingdoms will be raised against Kingdoms.” The actor, therefore, at work is Yahweh (God) and not Man, as much as Man would like to think he is in-charge of the world. Same Biblical principles that we see the Bible. Same demonic strongholds (lies) being recycled, over and over, all throughout history, but this time it’s the last cycle. God is in the background of all that is going on in the nations, as He always has, and therefore it is He who is inciting all that is happening in the nations, but it is for divine-purposes. These purposes have been set in motion way long ago, perhaps even before the creation of the world. It’s to ripen the fields, for the final harvest of souls, by breaking all the counterfeit gods that the world have been trusting in (Caesar to protect from sword, Mammon to protect from famine, Medicine to protect from plague. Ego to protect our identity–when we are our own god) , that have been a block to the world to seek the Rule & Reign of King Jesus Christ. It will be the last great spiritual awakening, before the Return of Christ.
Amen & Amen! May it be so, King Jesus! All glory to You! May Your Church finally rise up to take up the place and authority that has always been hers. Possess the gates of her enemies (Genesis 22:17, Matthew 16:18) so that we can lock up satan, once and for all, and close the gates to any more human souls entering hell. That enemy was never about other humans (Ephesians 6), but always about satan himself.
Signs of the End of the Age
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will [be made to] rise against nation, and kingdom [made to rise] against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24: 3-14
GO and PROCLAIM the Gospel to the nations, because she WILL BE MADE to be willing to hear it… It will be the Ingathering in the Book of Revelation.
