Ignorance and willful blindness abound. Insanity, by definition, is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result each time. The insanity, that has existed since the beginnings of this earthly catastrophe, is that people, living their lives in “abounding iniquity,” believe that man and his machinations can be offered solutions with more of man’s machinations. And yet, our immoral existence of sin and decadence increases while at the same time more insanity prevails causing people to believe next time man can get it right. How has that worked out so far?
Today, I was reading an article, I think that was published in the Atlantic magazine originally, called “Beware Prophecies of Civil War.” (You can look it up yourselves) This is a specific example of just what I am attempting to relate.
Mixed in with the politically biased, therefore useless piece of journalistic garbage, was a revelation of the author’s complete lack of Bible scholarship, attempting to convey to readers that one of the civil war prophecies that we should beware of, is the Battle of Armageddon, written about in the Bible. By the way, the author refers to this event as “apocalyptic fantasy,” even though it is evident he is clueless, like the misled masses of today, of what, precisely, is the Battle of Armageddon, when it takes place and all events that will lead up to that.
I don’t want to lose my point here. This author offers no real solutions to the problems of unending wars and battles, even in the United States, but to intimate that if society would simply become one-sided in their political ideology (of the Democratic Party I am assuming here) all of this fighting and bickering and, as the author explains it, making prophecies of doom and gloom come true, we can continue to exist for eternity here on earth…as I think it apparent the author believes will happen once his side wins.
Insanity.
Maybe I can help, without sounding too discouraging and, I swear, I am not attempting to make Bible prophecy come true. After all, I think there’s a few billion others on this forsaken planet that are doing a much better job of enhancing the inevitable (this is a bad word for the author of the article) than I could do, even by trying.
Let me keep it simple. In the Bible…(note: If the Bible is something you, like the author perceives as fantasy, please click on your favorite lying and deceiving website you love the most and get out of here.) it says in Matthew 24:12: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” What would cause a civil war? What would cause two people to fight, argue, and kill each other? (Cain and Abel) When you think of all the words that might be used to describe what must be present to cause such terrible things, understand that the root of the entire demonstration can be found in abounding iniquity.
The dictionary definition of “iniquity” is “immoral or grossly unfair behavior.” In the Bible, the original Greek meaning of iniquity is, “a violation of law, or generally wickedness; to transgress the law, unrighteousness.”
Okay, I must ask. Are we not living in a world where “iniquity abounds?” Perhaps you are like many who think things aren’t that bad and that man will come up with some more solutions…you know, more of the Hegelian Dialectic.
With Matthew 24:12 in mind, let’s jump over to Revelation 6:4. The title of the article I have been referring to says, Beware Prophecies of Civil War. So, hang on and “beware.” Revelation 6:4, “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
The power of the Almighty God, EL, will take “peace” from the earth and then what happens? “…that they should kill one another.”
The Greek definition of “peace” is as such: “peace (literally or figuratively); by implication prosperity: – one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.”
How are people going to act and react when their peace is taken away? They are going to lose completely, all their “prosperity.” How many wars and battles have been waged over money and prosperity, specifically a profit? People’s opportunities for rest and relaxation, vacations, recreation, and rest will vanish. How will that make them feel? Perhaps we have caught of glimpse of this during Operation COVID-19, when things are shut down. People’s favorite bars and nightclubs are being forced to shut down. We became limited in our movements, i.e. travel, flying, attendance to sporting events, concerts. In part, our “peace” was disrupted. Do you think people’s hearts have waxed even colder because some of their “peace” has been taken away? What’s going to happen when it’s all gone?
Revelation 6:4 says that when this “peace” is removed, people will begin to kill each other. It may possibly be the first time in world history that civil wars are occurring worldwide simultaneously.
I wonder if the Democrat or Republican Party will be able to stop this with another bill or presidential mandate or executive order. Can Communism, Socialism, Marxism, etc. offer the people of the world one of their solutions?
The Bible does not lie. Man does. This will never change. Finding ways of forcing one half of society to become what the other half is, will not stop the killing and carnage promised in the only prophecies that are true. Bible prophecies are NOT fantasy!
Because iniquity IS ABOUNDING, right now, the hearts of many are waxing cold and will continue to do so. Hold on to your hats when the Almighty sends his Red Horse with power to take away the peace of the world from the people.
