Ultimate Monarchy
12/27/2012
“For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7-8.
There’s a war brewing – it’s coming upon the last generation of
mankind. Just before this mighty war there will be much fear and
speculation about current and coming events. There will be signs in the
heavens and signs on earth. From what we are currently witnessing around
this globe there should be no doubt in the minds of the Ekklesia of
Christ that this, the current generation, is the last generation
prophesied to be remaining on earth at Christ’s Second Advent.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14.
Because of looming global upheavals, it seems people everywhere are
beginning to cry out for someone to bring peace on earth; a man with all
the answers, a leader who can finally take humanity into the utopian
existence so many long for. But it is not the Prince of peace, our
future King, who is being sought after.
If
you pay any attention at all to the global economies you know that it
isn’t only America that is struggling to stay afloat. To state that the
world’s economies are in turmoil would be a gross understatement. Greece
is in a depression and has been for about three years now. Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Ireland, among others, are in a recession and swiftly
moving towards full depression. The U.S. of A. is not far behind.
Economically
speaking, the unsustainable debt that the world has engrossed itself in
is nothing short of a worldwide tsunami consuming everything and every
nation in its path. Our current government leadership, along with our
government run news agencies, is saying that everything is looking rosy
and cozy, but that is a lie. This world is in dire straits and it needs
fixing, and by-and-large the world intends to call on Mr. Fixit for
relief.
For
those who study their Bible and take it seriously there is nothing
surprising about what’s going on around the world. Since we are in the
last days we would expect to see the global state of affairs coming into
perfect union with Biblical prophecy – one world government, one world
monetary system, one world ecumenical system all aligning themselves
like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But what few people are talking about is
the upheaval that must occur prior to all the puzzle pieces coming
together. That’s when Mr. Fixit will jump in and avail himself as that
one extraordinary world leader to bring peace and harmony to a broken
world.
Right
now what we see happening seems as though it’s straight out of a
Hollywood created, edge of your seat thriller. The problem is most
people think they can just get up and leave the theater or turn off the
TV, but that’s not going to help. The same outcome facing Greece is now
encroaching on America. Life is going to get ugly and it’s going to be
painful. This is real life, not a movie. In today’s world we can be
assured that with the implosion of the US economy, which is on the brink
of collapse, the results for much of mankind will be devastating.
With
no positive outlook on the horizon the world is confronted with a
decision of major consequences: 1) Seek and follow a man who claims to
have the answers to the ills that currently plague mankind – a Mr. fixit
kind of guy, or 2) follow the One who has never lied to us and who
created us in His image. I suggest number 2, and haste would be prudent.
Our
Lord Jesus is a well established player on the field of humankind, yet
almost completely ignored by the majority of human kind. Even many of
those on His very own team ignore Him or relegate Him to second string.
Jesus is the wide open receiver ready to receive, but He’s rejected as
being out of step, using outdated disciplines and procedures, no longer
an asset to the rest of the team – He just isn’t the performer His team
had in mind. These days, people want someone new and exciting, a man for
all seasons. They want someone who will relieve the pressure on the
rest of the team so no one will be at all inclined to toe the line. Even
many professing Christians would rather have a mere man enter the scene
in lieu of their coming King.
The
world will soon be focusing on one man (Mr. Fixit), and he will be more
than willing to take the helm. He’ll be a consummate leader and he will
take charge of world affairs. He’ll be that one individual who will
promise mankind an unequaled pie in the sky greatness and prosperity –
but his motives will be pure evil.
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12. Standing
against the Laws of God has caused great immorality in this world.
Because of iniquity (lawlessness and wickedness) now abound. We’ve now
witnessed the condoning of the murder of millions upon millions of
innocent unborn babies. Pervasive God abandoned lifestyles are now
deemed acceptable worldwide. There is currently a cold heartedness
spreading like wildfire such as murdering school children while they sit
in their classes or the indiscriminate murder of people enjoying a
movie in a theater. All of these evils are orchestrated by none other
than the “god of this world” (Satan).
The
demonic is now coming to fruition. We are very close to the time that
Satan will send in his Mr. Fixit. This ungodly creature is ready to take
charge of the situation and bring about what so many are hoping for –
peace on earth, unbridled wealth, untold pleasure, and the fulfillment
of all dreams – utopia. The world hasn’t much longer to wait.
“…that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
The Apostle Paul refers to this “Mr. Fixit” quite differently than the
world; Paul calls him the “son of perdition.” The world’s Mr. Fixit is
in reality the antichrist – the fellow who will be indwelt by Satan
himself. Few will realize the mistake they’ve made in seeking this
particular individual, and before they know what’s happening Mr. Fixit
will be transformed into evil personified. He will be established as a
great leader with phenomenal capabilities. People will be enamored with
his intelligence and charisma, his polished demeanor, his knowledge of
world affairs, and his god-like powers. The world will hale him as their
messiah.
Greed
has created our current atmosphere of false prosperity and failed
economics, which as lead the world into a precarious and painful
position. People will turn to just about anyone who even suggests they
might have a solution to the mess. If you think I’m off my rocker a
simple look into the recent affairs of the US of A might change your
mind. American’s have recently and overwhelmingly re-confirmed their
love for a man who has systematically done everything possible to turn
this nation into a totalitarian state. As we watch our rights being
dismantled for all time, many of us see the satanic side of this man
quite clearly.
No
one with any real wisdom can miss what’s being thrown at us by our
Federal Government. What is being promoted by this current
administration as steps to secure the protection of every American is in
all actuality moving all Americans into gross bondage while striping
away all semblances of our inalienable rights.
With
all of the new restrictions currently in place and with the massive
amounts of restricting legislation being advanced by Congress, our
rights and freedoms will soon be gone. All this so the populous can feel
a sense of peace and safety. The world’s Mr. Fixit is waiting for the
opportune moment to launch the enemy’s agenda of a false hope to this
deceived world. Basically he’ll provide a short window of hope to the
hopeless. But there will never be utopia of any kind until the Real Hope
(Jesus Christ) returns and takes His rightful place on His earthly
Throne.
What
is currently destabilizing Greece is the fact that the Government can
no longer afford to pay out all the government subsidies they’ve been
providing for their citizenry, which has brought that nation to its
knees. Bailout after bailout has done nothing to alleviate the problem.
Now the U.S., as well as many other nations, is facing the same future.
Thus, people will soon be begging for Mr. Fixit to get with the program.
He will then step out and comfort them with words that will sound so
delectable that people will feed on them as though they were some kind
of delicious morsel. Sadly, it will all be lies. It won’t be long until
people will be starving to death because they sought after the lies of
Satan.
Brotherly
love will be gone, happiness will disappear, and all commonsense will
be abandoned. People will begin to turn on one another with derision and
us brute force to kill anyone in their way. They will even snatch the
smallest scrap of food from the fingers of a starving child. “And
the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the
child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause
them to be put to death.” Matthew 10:21.
Satan
will revel at the total abandon which will consume every society on
earth. Satan is the god of this world because he stole the deed from
Adam way back in the beginning. For a while longer he’ll be allowed to
play out his agenda, but then he and his agenda will come to an abrupt
end. You say you don’t believe in Satan? You will.
Through
all the approaching misery there is hope. We must turn to the One who
has given us life, and much more abundantly than any government on
earth, instead of ignoring Him. Believing Jesus Christ was simply a nice
guy and nothing else, or worse yet a myth, will only result in more
pain and heartache for the unbeliever. Jesus Christ is the way, He is
the truth, and He is the life to everyone who believes. Governments
promise what they don’t have – Jesus promises what He’s already procured
and delivered for all who will believe. There is incredible evil
coming. How do we avoid the circumstances of that evil? Jesus Christ is
the answer – He is our blessed hope. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8. The God of all creation died for His creation even though we were yet sinners. This is love. What do you call love?
The
truth of the matter is this world is in turmoil and has been for a long
time, long before it slid into the current economic chaos we see today.
God established His love toward us desiring that perfect love to stand
forever, to be a constant proof of how He sees us (His creation). God
wants to help us walk through this world without fear from the enemy. He
wants to guide our steps. Our faith and trust in God’s only begotten
Son makes this possible.
Sick,
insane, and oftentimes disheartening things happen all around us, but
God is always with us. Satan is a liar and through his “man of
perdition” will make many wonderful claims, which he won’t deliver on
because he is a liar not a deliverer. The word of God gives us
incredible insight into the realm of the supernatural. There is a raging
battle being fought on the behalf of all humanity. Good against evil.
Evil will be dealt a death blow but not before it consumes the lives of
much of earth’s population (Christ rejecters).
Jesus
came from a place that is perfect; He being perfect was the only one
who could accomplish the Father’s will. He alone was able to reverse the
curse that entered this universe when Satan convinced Eve to partake of
the fruit of that forbidden tree. Jesus Christ is our Creator and only
He could die for His creation. For those who believe, He promises
eternal life. For those who believe not, He makes it plain, eternal
damnation is your lot.
Jesus
will clean up the mess we humans have made of this earth. He’s coming
back – soon. His Raptured saints will return with Him at the second
coming when Jesus will defeat the enemy and his horde. Then He will set
up His Monarchy. The mess will be gone and we will have peace under the
perfect rule of the King of kings. To be a part of that awesome promise
all that is required of you is “…that ye believe on him (Jesus Christ) whom he (God) hath sent” John 6:29.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. We, the
followers of Jesus Christ, should all be looking forward to this earth’s
Ultimate Monarchy and our King who is as loving as He is perfect.
God bless you all,
Ron Graham
