There are three deadly delusions pushing our civilization toward a precipice. The pushers don’t care if it goes off the cliff: they want to put their own ideal world where the real one used to be. They know they can’t–unless they first get rid of everything that’s already there.
So we have three major movements, all of them totally irrational, all of them tirelessly pushed and promoted by persons–most of them already politically powerful, and wealthy–who want to own the new utopia: with whoever’s left alive as their sharecroppers.
The transgender movement; climate change hysteria, with its draconian fantastic “remedies” (think Green New Deal); and to round it out, the globalists’ dream of open borders (you need to import chaos to make more chaos). Three apocalyptic horsemen all lined up to knock over what it took centuries and even millenia to build. If you’re looking for a fourth horseman, there are more candidates than I have space to list. He will emerge from that pool of swirling darkness.
The pushers don’t much like a world that they don’t rule, lock, stock, and barrel. They want one in which they are supreme, with any challenge to their authority rendered strictly impossible.
They want to be as gods. They think they’re gods already. But they’re nothing but the devil’s sock puppets, and too puffed-up to know it. They think it’s their plan that they’re working for, their future, their every dream come true. Wait’ll they find out it isn’t.
At some point in history, Almighty God will put a stop to this.
Hang on and be faithful, till then.
Yes, your last line I totally agree with. If it were not knowing the ONE who is really in control of all things, it would be very scary. As it is, it sure is not much fun.
Everybody wants to rule the world. I’m just hanging on. Yes, I know God’s on my side, but He’s not AT my side. Boy, wouldn’t that be something to have, and I will, but not just yet.
“…For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.” –Paul (Romans 8:36-39)
Damn their torpedoes. Full speed ahead!
I’m humbled. You renew my motivation to keep returning to my faith whenever I falter in the “overcome” area. Full speed ahead – yes.
The 4th horseman, Evolution.
For me, this brings to mind Revelation 16: 12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
The forces of godlessness are moving inexorably towards a time when they will confront anyone that doesn’t share their worldview. According to the verses above, this is of demonic origin.
I’ll keep my bokken ready.
The culmination will be the vindication of God at Armageddon. He’ll bookend them, but good. 🙂
