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 \u201cpolymorphous\u201d 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 \u201ccitizens,\u201d but now their very biochemistry as well&#8230; In today\u2019s climate of irrational fear, you can be labeled an \u201cenemy of the state\u201d simply for asking for justification regarding the latest \u201cofficial edict\u201d handed down by unaccountable overlords. The relentless propaganda campaign has had a \u201ctotalizing\u201d 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 (\u201cbanning\u201d), job loss, and even threats of violence. The chill of political suppression and tyranny is in the air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In light of this political situation &#8211; and the cultural rot that marks the thinking of the world today &#8211; we need logical clarity and courage to face reality. As I have said many times over the years, the important thing is not to \u201close your mind\u201d by forgetting what is real&#8230; 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\u2019ot, the LORD over all, has matters completely in hand, and to find faith that He will help you persevere in these days of testing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">God allows the wicked to rise in order to test his people&#8230; God&#8217;s strength however, is made perfect in weakness, and therein lies the paradox: &#8220;Lord, we do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You&#8221; (2 Chron. 20:12). The battle belongs to the Lord!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4905\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2chron20-12b-analysis.gif?resize=515%2C503&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"503\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4903-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Faith-and-Tribulation.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Faith-and-Tribulation.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Faith-and-Tribulation.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3121\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vaetchanan.jpg?resize=980%2C735&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vaetchanan.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vaetchanan.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vaetchanan.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vaetchanan.jpg?resize=210%2C158&amp;ssl=1 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ Back in March of 2020 &#8212; over 18 months ago now &#8212; 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 \u201cMan of Sin\u201d and the advent of the End of Days&#8230;.
