Our present age is marked by anomie, lawlessness, deception, unconscionable treason, political propaganda and disinformation (i.e., socialized violence), and a Nietzschean “transmutation of values” which has inspired the present “postmodern” wasteland of narcissistic evil and moral amnesia… The foretold divine judgment is drawing close and soon the nations will be brought together in conflagration and self-immolation….

In light of our “place” on the divine timeline, the dispensations of God, we must stress the importance and value the life of the authentic individual, that is, the person of faith who is marked by moral courage and integrity that transcends the indoctrination and “scripted stupor” inculcated by mass media and its relentless propaganda…. It is as common as a coin of the realm to see the schemes of various unwitting “change agents” fabricating problems for their unknown reasons, in order to foment the social order according the divine agenda of judgment. Indeed this is the age of engineered terror, the antithesis of which is not some nebulous “freedom” as suggested from the princes of this world, but rather a new form of slavery unlike anything before seen on this earth. It behooves us not to look to the usual suspects — and never to forget the complicity of the unthinking public in Nazi Germany…

Find comfort, friend of Yeshua. Of this evil world it is written, “Why do the people rage and the nations devise schemes that will fail? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Messiah saying, ‘Let us tear off the shackles of their yoke, and throw off their ropes from us!’ But the enthroned LORD laughs at their insolence and holds them in derision, until the appointed hour when He will speak to them in his wrath and terrify them in his fury” (Psalm 2:1-5). Amen, amen! καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ νίκη ἡ νικήσασα τὸν κόσμον, ἡ πίστις ἡμῶν – “This is the victory that overcomes this world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

The LORD God Almighty will surely break the pride of the “kings of the earth” with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel, and the shattering will be so complete that among its fragments not a shard will be found with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern (Psalm 2:9; Isa. 30:14). For from His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty (Rev. 19:15).

“As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, breaking them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth” (Dan. 2:34-35). “And the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed … and it shall stand forever” (Dan. 2:44). One day the edifice of man’s godless pride will come crashing down, and there will be no trace left of its rubble… The day and the hour draws near.

The prophet Isaiah foresaw the glory of the Coming Kingdom: “It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD (הַר־יְהוָה), to the house of the God of Jacob (בֵּית אֱלהֵי יַעֲקב), that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore” (Isa. 2:2-4; see also Jer. 3:17, Micah 4:1, etc.).

Before this glorious time of the Millennial Kingdom, however, the great “Day of the LORD” will come – a time of worldwide, catastrophic judgment that will befall the kings and princes of this world… “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near and hastening quickly; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; the mighty man will cry loud there” (Zeph. 1:14).

In light of all this, we must be be careful not to cling to this world or be “disheartened when the desolation of the wicked comes” (1 John 2:15; Prov. 3:25). The kingdom of man is at war with the kingdom of God, and whoever wishes to be a “friend” of this evil world makes himself an enemy of God (James 4:4). Regarding this doomed world the LORD speaks thus to His children: “Come out of the midst of her and be ye separate, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues.” This call to be separate may be more difficult for those who live in the midst of present-day “Babylon” than in other places of the world, because in Babylon it is far too easy to coddle the flesh and to avoid taking a costly stand for the truth… However, the reign of Babylon is spreading like a cancer throughout the world, consolidating power, and soon it will demand complete allegiance of all who dwell upon the earth. During that time of tribulation, all the peoples of the world will be forced to chose whether to accept the “mark of the beast” (i.e., citizenship in world order) or to face persecution, etc. We must not fear man or his devices, for the LORD will protect and strengthen His people.

I have been feeling a bit uncertain and bewildered lately — not regarding the truth of the LORD and his promises — but rather about how we are to live our faith in the midst of the techno-fascist postmodern wasteland that marks our world today…. Maybe you can relate? It seems as if the judgments of God are increasingly falling upon the world system, and the godless world-spirit is hardening for its last stand.  In this connection note how the world economies are being strategically undermined and systematically devalued to create a new global currency (based on a digital “credit” scheme), and how political forces seek a “coerced unity” under the banner of a global health “mandates” designed to catalog our biochemistry and DNA for the controlling powers…  Note further how weak-mindedness, heartlessness, anarchy and despair are defining characteristics of the postmodern soul… Propaganda and cognitive dissonance are the “warp and woof” of the godless mass media monopoly that suppresses free speech, discounts questions that question the “science” used to justify political oppression, and that otherwise “cancels” those might dare to think clearly without following the scripted “group think” of the day.

These are prophetic times, to be sure, and God is in the midst of this whirlwind. We are not to live in dread as those with no hope. Nevertheless we must pray with fervor and ask our Lord for wisdom and grace for such a time as this… Keep the Lord first in your heart and trust that he will protect and guide your ways, chaverim. Chazak – take courage! The time draws near; keep the oil in your lamps. God has promised never to leave nor forsake you: he loves you and will deliver you from evil… “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that passes all understanding (ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ ὑπερέχουσα πάντα νοῦν) shall guard your hearts and minds in Yeshua the true King of Glory (Phil. 4:6-7). Amen.
