The Coming Storm
8/09/2012
“We
lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned
against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this
day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”
Jeremiah 3:25. The nation of
Israel was in trouble. They had ignored God and sinned against Him for
generations. Can other nations learn from the mistakes Israel made? Nations
today are of the same mindset as Israel all those millennia ago. Humanity as a
whole has learned nothing. God is still being ignored, even forsaken.
Today’s societies have dishonored God, His creation is nothing more than
a disgrace, and we hide ourselves in our shame. God’s patience is surely
waning and His judgment is upon us.
When a nation or
a people contrive amongst themselves, against wisdom, to systematically remove
the God of all creation from the sphere of common knowledge, consequences will
follow. God may well take a step back so that those deceived individuals who
have rejected Him are given a glimpse of what it would be like living without
Him and His blessings. Of course God never really leaves as desertion is not included
in our Father’s attributes. But to make a point, our God might begin a
series of actions to help bring back into focus that which has been dulled by
many decades of disobeying God and His precepts.
Turmoil is very
evident of late. It seems that now, more than in any period of our history, we
live daily with much disorder and confusion in our midst. But sitting just off
the horizon is “The Coming Storm” which will make today’s
turmoil’s seem more like child’s play. What am I talking about?
Brewing in the under belly of humanity is a massive amount of pent up anger and
frustration. There is an implosion coming.
Currently, deep
seated emotions are running amuck – seemingly uncontrollable.
There’s an attitude among many today that leans toward a basic survival
instinct which blends well with an animalistic nature. There is a driving force
behind this nonhuman concept and it is moving to the surface of every
civilization like a volcano ready to spew out its molten lava. We are
surrounded by unimaginable, supernatural violence. More and more the violent
attacks on members of our society seem to be taking on an animalistic
personality. What we are seeing is just the beginning of people
“feeding” off one another, both emotionally and literally.
Preceding disorder
is an invisible undercurrent of wickedness. Yes, lying in the path of all
civilization is “The Coming Storm”, and that storm will be of such
magnitude hearts will fail mankind. “Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
Luke 21:26. What things? Things
that mankind are not familiar with; incredibly unbelievable and devastating
things that will shake mankind to the core. Apprehension, disillusionment, anger,
corruption, and despair will become valid responses as the people of earth are
thrust into ever increasing disorder; anything but business as usual.
That Coming
Storm which is currently brewing will be preceded by very terrifying events,
events which will disrupt the natural ebb and flow that nations depend on for a
balanced society. Those events will include, but are not limited to, massive
and frequent earthquakes, ever increasing famines, mind boggling pervasive
diseases, uncontrollable wildfires, extreme droughts, and one that will catch
many Americans off guard is the coming economic collapse which will shake
American greed and her self-indulged materialism to its core. Most people
won’t heed warnings of a cataclysmic nature until the cataclysm is upon
them. We read in our Bibles that the last days will be wrought with
catastrophic events. Since most of earth’s population considers the Bible
a fairytale, they give no credence to its warnings of future events. The Bible
has never missed regarding the prophecies found within its pages, and it never
will.
Natural
catastrophic events are not the only game in town. Satan and his cohorts are
fully aware of the signs that point to the soon approaching last seven year
period before Christ’s return. There is a huge amount of malevolent
supernatural activity which is creating major havoc around the globe. Many
Christians are oblivious to the writing on the wall; they have no grasp of the
ominous times which we’re now experiencing. As our time on planet earth
dwindles we will be confronted with many more of the enemy’s deceptions
which are all planned to create mayhem.
We
can see by all the horrid news reports being thrust at us with an ever
increasing frequency that the demonic realm is in full military posture.
Fathers murdering their children, mothers killing their babies and turning
cannibalistic. People biting and ripping other people apart with their teeth
and then eating the flesh of those they’ve just chewed on. Most of these
bazaar occurrences are perpetrated by naked men with super human strength. This
weirdness is just the beginning. We will see much worse actions from these
demon possessed individuals. Yes, I said demon possessed individuals. Make no
mistake, Satan is building an army of human followers bent on the destruction
of their fellow man. What we are being told by the media should be dismissed as
nonsensical and even blatant deception. Yes drugs play a part in that they open
a portal for the demonic to enter our domain, where they can proceed to possess
the people who place themselves in that drug induced state. What we witness in
these ongoing horrific events can only be described as supernatural demonic
forces capitalizing on mankind’s own foolishness.
If
you don’t believe we are in as much trouble as I believe we are, a trip
to your local ER might help convince you. I was in the hospital a few days ago
for tests. The young lady doing the testing was also an ER attendant. She told
my wife and me a hair-raising story. Apparently this new drug “bath
salts” is not hard to come by, and when used it creates a monster inside
a monster. Most who take this new drug are already under the influence of mind
altering drugs, so they compound the problem. One young woman was brought into
the ER after using “bath salts”. While undergoing detoxification
she told our attendant that she had a three year old daughter who she left at
home (alone) as punishment – the child had messed up the house. The young
woman explained to the attendant that she never wanted the child. It was only
her boyfriend that wanted a baby. Our attendant told us this kind of thing goes
on all the time here in this little rural “Bible belt” community.
It boggles the mind to even imagine the demonic goings on in every city and
community around the globe.
When people look
at evil through humanistic eyes, they can’t see that the mass of
wickedness currently affecting all societies is supernatural rather than simply
drug or alcohol induced. As recently alluded to in the Aurora Colorado
massacre, insanity is said to have played a part in that horrific episode. No,
the wickedness that is being observed on every continent is not insanity but
demonic. The end, which most of us familiar with the Bible prophecies have been
patiently waiting for, is currently in sight. Not a pretty sight but it’s
here, and it is burgeoning.
For the most
part, people today have no spiritual discernment. Therefore as the news stories
of horrible wickedness and destruction become more prevalent society will only
react in ways that will add to their confusion (perplexity). There will be much
more corruption, which will be feeding the wickedness like pouring gas on an
already burning fire. Because the ruler of the universe (the One true God) is
no longer considered relevant in most societies today, the malevolent
supernatural forces being unleashed on these lands have begun to enforce their
satanic mandate of invasion. Most of earth’s current population belongs
to Satan, and they’re playing right into his hand. Without God there can
be no defense against the wiles of the devil. Sadly, the majority of folks
today want nothing to do with our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Why is that?
“In
whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.”
2 Corinthians 4:4. The deceptions
that have been the prevailing teachings through many different venues for so
long are the blinding force which has shrouded the minds of the lost so
thoroughly that they won’t see the truth. It’s not that they
can’t see it, but that they refuse to see it. They belong to Satan; they
follow him and do his will. This is precisely why wickedness is burgeoning at a
phenomenal rate. Satan is a real supernatural being bent on the destruction of
mankind. His only agenda is to steal, kill, and destroy, and he will use all
his human conscripts to accomplish that goal.
The refusal to
recognize God as Creator and Saviour is paramount on earth right now. Thus, as
God sees no other alternative because of the worldwide rejection of Him, major
catastrophic events are on the way. In America we’re currently
experiencing an economic meltdown, super high unemployment coupled with an ever
diminishing living wage, together with a nationwide drought all add to the
disruption of normalcy. Corn prices are rising as the crops are decimated,
added to that is the fact that cattle ranchers no longer have the wherewithal
to feed and water their herds. All this is coupled with ever increasing food
prices at our local markets. These upheavals are bringing with them a sense of
uselessness from what was once a stable middle class. What we plainly see
brewing, my brethren, is The Coming Storm.
Tempers are on
edge, anger is going unchecked in much of society. People are in a quandary as
to what tomorrow will bring as they watch their once thriving societies
crumbling before their eyes. There is nothing normal about the demonic.
Although the malevolent supernatural legions may not be responsible for our
current weather patterns, they certainly know how to capitalize on every
crisis. Whenever Satan observes humans turning their backs on God he will use
his new human conscripts in his attempts to disrupt the salvation plan of God.
Those who have no hope will embrace the wickedness that we now see coming upon
this planet. Today we see armies of young lost men and women prowling the
streets seeking to dominate and terrorize the unsuspecting and this horrible
phenomenon is also burgeoning.
Many people
believe we are moving into a new era of human history. Not so. This
world’s civilizations are firmly planted on a teetering precipice that
has been our lot for decades. Every nation on earth is currently on a collision
course with an inhuman and immovable malevolent force. Evil will not only
persist in these last days, but we will become astonished at how rapidly the
digression into full on wickedness occurs. People will begin to worship
whatever idol they can conjure up in hopes of curtailing the violence. Sadly,
returning to the One true God will not be part of most of the last days
inhabitants endeavors.
Storms are
brewing, storms of wickedness, immorality, major civil unrest, there is an
incredible amount of thievery, as well as other corruptions including murder
all taking place at a phenomenal pace. This is what comes of nations that turn
away from their Creator. All of these consequences are avoidable, but they are
inevitable when corruption and sinfulness becomes the norm.
“Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for
the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.” Micah 7:7. As Christians we have nothing to
fear from Satan or his minions of evil as we look forward to the soon arrival
of Jesus Christ. We were once Satan’s property but now we’ve become
defectors from his camp, thus Satan is lying in wait for each of us. With our
armor firmly in place we are fully protected against any payback the enemy may
have up his sleeve. But don’t become cocky in your confidence; we can be
adversely affected anytime we let down our guard. Satan and his conscripts will
give no quarter to those who mean to stand in his way. Right now, standing in
his way are all the children of God. If you are not prepared for the battle of
a lifetime perhaps you should grab your Bible and study it (Ephesians 6 in
particular) instead of watching baseball or some other distraction that has no
eternal value.
Leaning
on the God of your salvation is the key. “For
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7.
Although Satan is completely out of his league when compared with the Creator
of the universe he is a very real and powerful supernatural being, one we
humans should never take lightly. God has given us the power to withstand the
devil, so withstand.
God bless you
all,
