Just thought we’d review some of the latest news that might relate to the soon coming of Christ. Please remember that when things are seemingly at their worst, God has given his people a promise and a directive: “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)
IN THE SERVICE OF GOD – Paah, huh hah, naaaah: It’s not about Islam. It couldn’t possibly be a by-product of the teachings of ‘The Religion of Peace.’ I write this in the aftermath of the slaughter of 148 people – 132 children – in an attack on a Pakistani school that mostly served children of that country’s military. The murderous rampage was perpetrated by the Taliban; that upstanding Islamic organization known for killing young girls for just participating in the educational process. An additional 121 students were wounded in the attack. This, unfortunately, is no aberration. On the side of the FOX website is a video featuring the beheading of four young Christian children in Iraq.[i] A captured ISIS document even gave its’ fighters guidance on the subject. Here are some highlights from a Daily Mail article on the subject. The document “says all ‘unbelieving’ women can be taken as captives and sold,” and that it “is ‘permissible’ to have ‘intercourse with female slave who hasn’t reached puberty’.”[ii] Put all of this in the context of tens of thousands of Christians being forced to flee or the many that have been executed by the servants of Allah. Britain’s Independent recently rant this headline. “Isis ‘executes 150 women for refusing to marry militants’ and buries them in mass graves.”[iii] Jesus warned in John 16:2: “Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.”
BUT WHAT SATAN MEANT FOR EVIL….. – Christian aid workers in the Middle East are reporting that the persecutions and executions going on in Syria and Iraq are drawing many to the cause of Christ. The violence is having an opposite effect from that intended by ISIS and other terrorists. One reason they’re killing is that they wish to stop the rapid spread of Christianity. “There has never been a time when a greater percentage of Syrian Muslims, in-country and refugees, have believed in Christ than in the past three years of civil war.” Tent churches are “sprouting like mushrooms” among the refugees in worn torn areas who are now more “open to an encounter with Christ.” Loss of home and family has prepared the way. “For people who have suffered such deep loss, seeing that they can pray to a personal God whom they can call Father has been the critical factor.” One ministry director explains: “It’s the connection that makes a huge difference…. They say, ‘Now with our relationship with God, we see a huge difference; something has changed in our life,’” he said. “You can see it on their faces. They say, ‘Every time we pray, there’s a difference.’”[iv] And thus: God is glorified.
CLIMATE ACCORD…..ABOUT NOTHING – Here’s a part of the lead paragraph from the New York Times. “After more than 36 straight hours of negotiations, top officials from nearly 200 nations agreed to the first deal committing every country in the world to reducing the fossil fuel emissions that cause global warming.”[v] The agreement commits all nations to put together a plan to reduce greenhouse emissions in the next 6 months with the binding agreement to be signed next December – and put into effect in 2020. The only problem is that it is addressing a problem that doesn’t really exist. As Lord Monckton points out in Word Net Daily: “Global temperature has stubbornly failed to rise at all for 18 years, two months and counting.” That’s right! The science has refused to cooperate with those claiming – and setting themselves up to profit from – this imagined global warming scenario and the faux measures being put in place to deal with the faux problem. Monckton details more of the issue. “The rate of warming in the 25 years since the first report on the subject in 1990 by the U.N.’s climate panel has been less than half what its useless computer models then predicted. Sea level is not really rising at all. Global sea ice is at a record high extent. There have been fewer tornadoes in the US in the past three years than since records began. The area of the world under drought has fallen for 30 years. There is no increase in the intensity, frequency or duration of flooding, nor in tropical cyclones, nor in hurricanes, nor in typhoons. In short, the climate is behaving much as usual. As many records for extreme cold are being set as for extreme heat.” But the bureaucrats have set up a slush fund – the Green Climate Fund – from which they will all get rich.[vi] The real question then is: Why? The globalist Club of Rome answered that decades ago in a report. “The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”[vii] You see, the coming of Antichrist’s One World Government will NOT be an accident. Cutting Edge Ministries’ David Bay writes: “Climate Change is one of five major crises deliberately created to so panic the people that they would allow a global dictatorship to be created.” He goes on to quote William Cooper from his work Behold A Pale Horse. “Climate Change is one of five major crises deliberately created to so panic the people that they would allow a global dictatorship to be created.”[viii] You see Satan has enlisted the cooperation of men in order to further his purposes. “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (2Thessalonians 2:9-10)
