Faith in Perilous Times…

[ Back in March of 2020 — over 18 months ago now — I had forewarned of the danger of the rise of fascism based on the engineered threat of Covid-19, and here we are today, with the stage set for rise of the “Man of Sin” and the advent of the End of Days….  ]

Shalom friends. For the last year and a half we have seen the world in a state of confusion and even dread over of the Coronavirus (i.e., Covid-19), particularly because of the mixed messages and disinformation propagated by the mass media about its “polymorphous” threat. Because of this uncertainty, however, various governmental agencies have arrogated dictatorial powers, and such overreach has resulted in forced lockdowns of various public places, the suspension of civil liberties, massive unemployment, the implosion of the private sector economy, among other things. In a matter of months a radical revolution has taken place, wherein the once great United States of America has devolved into a fascist state that surveils not only the behavior of its “citizens,” but now their very biochemistry as well… In today’s climate of irrational fear, you can be labeled an “enemy of the state” simply for asking for justification regarding the latest “official edict” handed down by unaccountable overlords. The relentless propaganda campaign has had a “totalizing” effect on the culture: those who dare to question the efficacy of masks or the safety of untested mRNA vaccines, for example, face social ostracism (“banning”), job loss, and even threats of violence. The chill of political suppression and tyranny is in the air.

In light of this political situation – and the cultural rot that marks the thinking of the world today – we need logical clarity and courage to face reality. As I have said many times over the years, the important thing is not to “lose your mind” by forgetting what is real… In this audio podcast (recorded back in March of 2020) I discuss the struggle of faith and how we find peace by accepting the sovereignty and greatness of the LORD. I hope to remind you that Adonai Tzeva’ot, the LORD over all, has matters completely in hand, and to find faith that He will help you persevere in these days of testing.

God allows the wicked to rise in order to test his people… God’s strength however, is made perfect in weakness, and therein lies the paradox: “Lord, we do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You” (2 Chron. 20:12). The battle belongs to the Lord!
