The last couple of years have been bizarre, and keep leaning more in that direction. Covid, a declining economy, continued election problems, and conflict in parts of the world all indicate we’re not headed in the right direction. So why is this happening, and why now?
What Kingdoms?
It is my prayer those who are not yet awake will see this article and hear. It is written for them. Times are about to change even more and there are only two sides. Each side represents one of two kingdoms. This is beautifully illustrated in the story of the Good Samaritan.
The Story
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do likewise. (Luke 10:25-37)
What Can We Learn?
To fully understand the story, we must see it through the same eyes as someone who heard Christ tell the story;
- The law expert was one with authority and sought to justify himself by his questions. He answered rightly, according to the law.
- Jerusalem is the city of God; Jericho the city of the moon—that is, Satan.
- The man was headed away from the city of God to the city of Satan. He was headed down to Jericho, and fell among thieves. The Greek word is peripipto, and means to fall in with or among. The traveler adopted their ways. He was robbed after falling in with them. After he turned from God. (see Deut. 30:16-9)
- The priest (religion) could not save the man. Neither could the Levite (law) save him. But a Samaritan had compassion on the man. A Samaritan had one Jewish parent, and one who was not. Jesus had a Jewish mother (Mary), and a father who was not (God).
- The Samaritan used oil and wine to bind the man’s wounds. He gave the innkeeper two days wages, promising him more if needed when He returned. The Bible says a thousand years are as a day to God. (Psalm 90:4) But no, we don’t know the time of His return as he promised to provide more if needed.
The bottom line is Christ alone is the difference. Nothing else. Time is coming to a period of fullness. We see that in the last several year’s events. The kingdom of Jericho is trying to assert itself, but needs our acceptance to succeed. Doing nothing is a sign of acceptance. Not rejecting the kingdom of Jericho is also accepting it. When time becomes full, we must make a choice, or one will be made for us.
Seeing With Open Eyes
All we need do is remember what we’ve been told, and then look at reality as it unfolds. Then ask ourselves do they match? Little today matches what we’ve been told. Consider just the following four items.
Covid
We were told 2.2 million Americans would die from covid. People gave up freedoms for a false safety in the forms of mandates and economic shutdowns. The CDC has since adjusted their covid death figures to about 6,000 for 2020. The preceding actions hurt people; they lost jobs, businesses were closed, churches ordered to close, and people lost their lives because existing effective treatment was withheld by our healthcare providers and officials.
All to legitimize the use of untested gene therapy drugs. The government paid $1 billion to media outlets to support the drug rollout, while also reporting on the pandemic. We now know Moderna patented the virus three years ago—before the outbreak. There are over 9,000 side-effects from the Pfizer drug. And data indicate 1 in 17 receiving this drug dies (about 59 in 1,000); while only 5 or 6 in 1,000 die from the virus.
Election
Election fraud evidence continues to grow in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Texas—and other states. Some of the individual discrepancies number in the tens and hundreds of thousands. And there are many such discrepancies in each state examined. These concern the voter rolls, mail-in ballot processes, and machines used to record and tabulate votes.
And it isn’t an isolated instance. Just last week in the Texas primaries, Republicans were kept from voting in one county. On March 8, Harris County reported the omission of 10,000 votes from its results. Today (March 9) that county’s Election Commissioner resigned. Every state needs to examine and audit its election procedures, data, and equipment. A letter was put together, and signed by state legislators, concerning the need to examine our elections. Representatives from 38 states signed. Virginia was not one of them. Why?
Economy
So many moronic decisions this past year, so little time and space to talk about them. Shutting down the Keystone Pipeline completion and domestic oil and gas production. These moves took us from energy independence to dependence. Massive illegal immigration on the southern border. We simply don’t know who they are, or where they are. The current administration running up the national debt by another $7 trillion. We’re only early in the second year, but we’ve crossed $30 trillion in debt. An amount mathematically impossible to repay. In addition, these decisions have created inflation rates not seen in many decades. It will continue until our elected servants make better decisions. It is all self-inflicted, even while blaming others for our own problems.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) created their own financial and payment arrangements. Russia is set to remove itself from the SWIFT system on March 11. The BRICS countries represent about 41% of the world’s population, and other countries will soon join them. Russia is also set to go with its own gold-backed currency, and to use the Chinese Union Pay credit system after Visa/Master Card both suspended service. Such moves will remove the US dollar from its global position. The US dollar will be worth less. Adding fuel to inflation.
Finally, another 4.3 million people quit or changed jobs in January. The number of job openings is at 11.3 million, a 55% increase from the prior year. This economic direction is unsustainable. If their goal is destroying our economy; they are succeeding.
Conflict
We’re being told Russia is bad and destroying Ukraine. Is it true? There’s evidence Ukraine is formally not a country as it never completed the necessary process in 1991. If true, it is an administrative territory of Russia. We’ve been told there are no bioweapons labs in Ukraine. However, the US embassy in Ukraine pulled the documents for their construction off its web site at the beginning of the conflict. Earlier this week the US government expressed concern material could fall into Russia’s hands, after admitting it had bioweapon labs in Ukraine. March 9, Russia announced it had materials from our labs and was demanding to know why it was there. China has added its voice demanding the US declare the locations for all such labs.
The main stream media is using old footage in covering this new ‘war’. Even stooping to using images from video games in its reporting. The current administration recently tried to persuade Poland to use its US provided fighters in Ukraine, promising to replace any they lost. Poland agreed to the replacement and offered to fly all their jets to the US air base in Germany—for the US to use. Within the last day the US has rejected that offer. Why are we being lied to? More importantly, why aren’t we standing up against it? The truck convoy to DC is only a start.
Time to Remember
If one cannot see the above for what they truly are, then I am concerned about you. You must accept the last two years as normal. They are anything but. In a world of absolutes—that is, good and evil—only absolutes can exist. Don’t take my word for it. Do the research, but with an open mind. It’s time for the rest of us to move on whether you are ready or not. By staying where you are, you only hurt yourself.
You’ve forgotten who you are. Wonderfully made in God’s image. You are His child and therefore share in His inheritance. That you have rights coming from Him. Rights for which you are accountable whether you abdicate, use, or misuse them.
It is time to remember who you are. The solution is simple. Ask God. He’s been right beside you all along. Read, study, ask questions of others you respect. Those on the wrong path are the ones who must change. It is time to break things open. Hell is afraid of your praise to God. Darkness ceases to exist in the light. Let your light shine.
