It would probably benefit me most to remain silent, but not with respect to the economies of God.  What enhances me personally, making this life safe, may be in fact the exact opposite of God’s intention and will for this man’s life.  You see the Bible does not speak all, “warm and fuzzy” about the future of humanity.  Certainly it ends well for those who believe, but for those who refuse, deny or resist faith in God through Christ the end is horrific and final.  Additionally, I would like to say that believers and the nation of Israel are well treated, their faith delivering all from the disaster which must certainly come to all men.  But that is not what God’s Word reflects.  We are all to be delivered, saved, protected from death and Hades.  That does not mean we shall not suffer in this life on our journey to eternal life with God.  This more closely reflects the Truth of God’s Word.  War is coming, pestilence, famine, death, cataclysms beyond our wildest imagination, the type for which a man’s mind may not make proper preparation.  According to the Book of Revelation, Ezekiel, Isaiah and other Books of God’s Prophetic Word, Rome may indeed be set aflame, Damascus may become uninhabitable, Israel may defend its territory and expand to the original boundaries declared by God, but find themselves besieged by a much greater coalition led by Russia.  Glory be to God Almighty, that all this leads to the return of Christ to set this world right for all eternity.  Should I remain silent of this Truth, keeping myself convinced of my relatively safety?

Beloved, God’s Plan unfolds before us.  The lines of battle are being clearly declared.  There after all are only two sides, those for God and those against.  Our population has grown to the point where leaders will eventually think themselves altruistic by culling those without, the holders of lesser gene or circumstance, for this has always been the doctrine of the communal.  They will convince themselves of the nobility of their decisions to starve, kill, eradicate entire populations, based upon a self created fallacy.  A false king, false savior, indwelt by satan himself shall be provided in answer to our ungodly prayers for false salvation.  Our great need sponsored by war, pestilence, greed, fear and allegiance to worldly, sensory gratification, those against God Almighty will declare this spawn of the damned, king of this world.  He will hate the Jews and seek to obliterate their heritage after building, then violating their Holy places, through the desecration of abomination.  Our hope may only reside in one of two places, in God through Christ Jesus where men will find eternal salvation or in the fallen; angel, demon and man where all will be judged, punished and eternally separated from the Creator.

The church would have me play house, dispelling the truth that confronts humanity, contented in our fellowship halls, with swelling pride and larger bellies.  The world would have me silenced and afraid, fearing damage or loss of wealth and social station if I adhere to the Truth that resides in God’s Holy Word.  The enemy would have me petrified, paralyzed, convinced of my inadequacies or worse yet dedicated to the realization of my own will.  Oh, but for God’s Will I would be lost to one of these three palsied paths.  I am bound for glory, intent on telling everyone about Christ, standing in the face of certain tyranny, persecution and pressure.  This is not my home, it is the ground of my testing, the field of sanctification, preparation for my eternal station, in the presence of God.  The time of the gentiles is rapidly coming to close and soon God shall turn His face solely upon His beloved Israel, purifying, preparing and protecting her for eternity as He promised.  The time of our efficacy is NOW, praying, fasting, discipling, loving and caring for those who might be saved.  Pray for peace in Jerusalem, act in your neighborhood, dispelling the idea that somehow you must be a professional clergyman or missionary to tell people about Christ.  You don’t need money, you don’t need a degree, you don’t need public speaking prowess, you only need Jesus, Love and a Testimony built upon discernment gained from Bible study, prayer and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.  These things cost you nothing but faith and dedication where partnership with this world, requires everything.

We all know what must be done, Glory to God it is the free-will choice He has given us that will launch access to victory or defeat.  I pray that we all begin today, serving God with every ounce of our talent, time and treasure.  The stakes are high, the rewards everlasting.  Choose Christ, choose now, act upon the faith that calls your heart to prayer and fellowship with God.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.
