Here we are at that time again where I get out my prediction hat and give my replay of the year past, but also my predictions for the year ahead. These are just MY predictions based on my understanding of both geopolitical and biblical goings-on. I'm not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet. Neither am I a date-setter, or the son of a date-setter. Again, I'm just giving you my opinion as to where I think things are heading for the upcoming year.
"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring..." Luke 21:25
As we close out the Year of our Lord 2022 and get ready to enter into 2023, we do so with perhaps the greatest trepidation that I've ever witnessed in my short time here on the planet. My friend Scott posted this on his FB page (not sure about the name of the cartoon or who created it), but I think it's apropos considering the past couple of years, about just how people are feeling as we move ahead into the new year.
It seems the longer we remain here, the more things people are becoming fearful of, and yet, they are afraid of all the wrong things. They are afraid that global temperatures will rise a degree or two in the next hundred years. They are afraid of climate change. They are afraid of misgendering people. They are afraid of the public backlash that will come if they don't toe the line of wokeness.
But they aren't afraid of the horrific hour of testing (Daniel's 70th Week) that will be coming upon the earth. People aren't afraid of dying in their sins and spending eternity in pain and darkness. Well, for those who remain on the earth (the left behind) this fear is only going to get worse.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
I don't know if you've felt this way, but it's something I addressed back in the 2023 Perspectives Roundtable. It just feels like we are losing the battle for our civilization. It feels this way, at least on a political and cultural level, because we are starting to wake up to the reality the Republicans aren't much better than the Democrats. Sure they talk a good game about this and that, but they don't DO much to stop it.
In fact, this feeling of losing is so pervasive and smothering, it's become this blanket of overwhelming oppressiveness. It's hard to explain, but this spiritual oppressiveness feels very much the same way as it did when I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2008 and 2013. It's almost palpable.
Well, let me just tell you upfront that this "feeling" of losing, is every bit a part of the spirit of Antichrist. It is a demonically-designed spiritual psyop to both oppress and discourage you (the believer) from living in the victory Christ already won at the Cross.
Thanks to the non-stop Operation Mockingbird style of media propaganda, weak-kneed politicians, woke pastors, and silent pulpits, this perpetual tsunami of bad news is designed to keep you in a perpetual state of depression and deflation. Conversely, it is also very much a battle of distractions so that you focus on the never-ending litany of drama coming out of Washington D.C., New York City, Hollywood, and everywhere else.
Do not fall for it! We've not just won the battle, we've already won the war
WOW! So much to process, yet it's true, knowing the end victory from/after, all this nonsense laid out, those whom know Jesus can rejoice! We just enjoy our time on Earth till that day comes, then repeat rejoicing!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the word "Sustainable Goals/Development" used frequently for pushing the Agenda 2030 is such a deception being used on mankind; it's anything but
"Sustainable", IMO too!
Great in-depth, informative Article!! Thank-you!
