The next great lie will be something akin to the fact that we cannot stage peaceful demonstrations against political persecution of Christianity to protect our own safety.  We will be told that for our own protection, men must give up their arms, to promote a new peaceful society.  These things have happened before and are always welcome on the heals of tragedy, when people are raw and have not taken time to consider rationally the deals to which they find themselves signatory.  We have already fallen pray to the falling shroud of deception perpetrated by the prince of the power of the air on those lacking judgment and the enemies of God.  Let us not repeatedly be taken in by the same posturing which have led to tyrannical despotism each time in history.

Let us have the real conversation, the real debate.  The one which divides this nation, hinders our prosperity and mars our reputation as a nation seeking, truth, justice and the American way.  The great dividing line which the enemy will avoid at all costs is Jesus.  For there is power in that name.  Any other subject is preferred.  No one wants to talk about Jesus.  The path and the accountability that the Christian life represents and the exclusivity which Jesus declared like it or not separate the world population into two parts, believers and unbelievers.  Jesus proclaiming Himself, as the only Door/Way/Path to God is a Truth impossible for the populace to endorse, accept, commit to and follow.  They must destroy, silence, condemn or demagogue any that proclaim this truth out loud.  For they want to pursue their own paths, in libertarian/liberal execution of freedom at any cost.  People God loves you and demands that I do as well but that does not change the fact that He is in charge and His rules are specific, clear and unavoidable whether or not I want you to like me.  There is eternal forgiveness for all who will call upon His name, repent of their sin and believe in the redemptive power of the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

However there are some behaviors for which ALL historical societies has suffered the ultimate backlash of irrelevancy or disappearance, especially those empire states drunk upon their own pursuits.  None have escaped a penchant for violence, seeking gladiatorial conquest of all defenseless nations.  None have escaped sexual abandon, where all forms of lust are sanctioned, practiced and even endorsed by society.  None have escaped political corruption of elected officials, sponsored by coercive special interest and hypocritical “public” servants.  None have escaped pursuit of false faith.  None shall escape the Just desserts of such practices.  None in history has ever avoided the eventual demise of these sinful pursuits.  So it is entirely safe to say that no nation following these practices or turning a blind eye to their social acceptance will find themselves in solid standing when the dust rises on the next turn of worldly events.

Look upon the current state of world affairs and I see many following the same old failed postures of past tyrants and schemers.  For example, we have a political ally of Russia, Syria, in open civil war.  A nation which possesses some of the most dangerous and deadly chemical and conventional weaponry know to man, also provided by Russia and others.  A nation that cannot afford to release its dictatorial regime from power as the alternative to this terrible ruling family are a bunch of extremists pent on the destruction of Israel and the ascendancy of global Islam.   This is not a matter of wanting one party over the other, both are unacceptable and have or will lead to disaster greater than the current civil war facing this esteemed country.  We have seen these nations one after another dismiss their ruling tyrants only to adopt radical militants as their new leaders, men addicted to the eradication of the nation of Israel and the downfall of the West.  In Gaza, Iran, Egypt, Somalia, Libya and Sudan we have seen the repeated effects of democracy gone awry.  These people do not want peace.  Peace to them is a global caliphate of the sword.  We must not pursue meaningless peace sponsored by those who merely want to use this word to lure the unsuspecting to slaughter.

There is no way except by the Prophecy annotated in the Bible by which these circumstances will end in peaceful resolution.  Man as a species continues to show our dislike and lack of desire for global peace.  It is merely used as a political device by those who would see themselves in power.  And one of the next to use this tactic will be the most ruthless ruler that the world will ever know, but his days will be numbered to seven years at the end of which we will meet the God of the universe come to rule and reign for eternity, the Lord Jesus Christ.  King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Praise His Holy, Mighty and Righteous Name and though He may tarry He shall come and Judge this World as it is His Right to do so.  Amen.
