A time like no other

We live in a time when humanity is dissolving according to the satanic principle: solve et coagula. The forces of darkness seek to change the very essence of mankind and coagulate it back into a shape more fitting to the plans of Hell. We are going through that right now. The abominable waves of this veritable inundation are lapping at the very vicinity of the highest altar. Apparently, nothing will be left undefiled.

Recently, a friend wrote this to me. It shocked me how he precisely described the dissolution and our own weakness before what seems to be the inevitable collapse of all the systems that keep mankind going.

“Interesting to me that people can be involved in Revelation (capitalized) level activities and not understand what they are caught up in. Doing the devil’s bidding while feeling superior and pleased with oneself. We are programmed to work for the good so the devil’s task has always been to invert values such that bad is good and good is bad. He has done a bang up job to date and the project is on-going. What we call “technology” is his tool kit. His works are breathtaking in scope and detail. I now see exactly how the Beast and the False Prophet hook up and make war on the saints —all while upper middle-class managers congratulate themselves on their wisdom and humanity— I now see that the only counter to the fix that is in is a spiritual one. This has gone way beyond earthly and practical fixes. The disease is in the language, the infrastructure, the arts, the schools, the Church, in short the entire culture. No human program is sufficient to reform all of the above. And it all has to be done at the same time! One can’t reform the schools without fixing language, or politics, or the arts or any of it. Astounding really. The only way out (seemingly) is a general collapse and probably widespread ruin. And so what I have long suspected (and feared) has been shown to be the only path available. What times are these!”

I could do nothing but agree with his words. After all it seems that our only hope is to board the Ark and seal ourselves inside waiting for the waters to wipe out all that was familiar to us. The biblical teaching that “God tied the world to futility” has never been more apparent than in our days. Only that today there is no Ark. We haven’t been working in building a survival mechanism to stay alive through the final crisis. The only refuge we have is Christ, the Rock that will be there after the entire world has passed away.

Hear

Let us go back to basics and hear. The solution is not in our hands. No amount of fighting, thinking, or prepping is likely to succeed in keeping us alive through the coming crisis.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.  Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. — Deuteronomy 6:4-6

Be wise

After commanding them to hear Moses, God gave Israel a lesson in acquiring intelligence, practical wisdom to survive the ages to come and keep the land that He had promised to them. While other nations had fickle, imaginary gods, Israel had the immense privilege of being close to God Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth. Moses states the obvious when he says that we have the company of God and His Law. It is wise to hear Him and keep His Law. I say “us” because the Church is the New Israel. The universal, eternal destiny of Israel is fulfilled in the Church. “My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.” (Isaiah 56:7)

So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.  You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you.  You have seen for yourselves what the Lord did with regard to the Baal of Peor—how the Lord your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor,  while those of you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. See, just as the Lord my God has charged me, I now teach you statutes and ordinances for you to observe in the land that you are about to enter and occupy. You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people!’  For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is whenever we call to him?  And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this entire law that I am setting before you today? — Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8

The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord

The contract we have with God is simple:

  • You are my people if you keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
  • God will protect His faithful, His flock. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
  • Our strength is in the Lord  (Psalms 28:7-8)
  • If we keep His commandments

Whoever walks blamelessly and does justice; who thinks the truth in his heart and slanders not with his tongue. Who harms not his fellow man, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; by whom the reprobate is despised, while he honors those who fear the LORD.  Who lends not his money at usury and accepts no bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things shall never be disturbed. — Psalm 15:2-5

Think of the gift you received and give it to others thankfully

Since the Fall of our ancestor Adam, those wanting to serve God had to struggle against the flesh, the world and the devil. But we do not have to struggle alone. In fact, the word Israel means “the struggle belongs to God.” Nothing has changed but we have the honor of closing this multi-generational battle because we are the generation living in the End Times. We have the great privilege to take part in the last charge knowing very well that God has guaranteed the victory. I do not know how that victory will come about but I know God will prevail.

So we have the gift of God’s friendship and God’s Law to shield us in this time. Now we have to do the opposite of what the world is doing. For the world, selfishness is the order of the day. Dissolution is exactly that: dissolving the natural bonds that sustain mankind. The world is going in the opposite direction and that means Christians have to take care of each other. We have to be the instruments of God in preserving all that is good, beginning by our fellow Christians and all men and women of good will.

Dearest brothers and sisters: All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change. He willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained [undefiled] by the world.” — James 1:17-27

Guard your heart

Christ also ask us to hear, understand, and put his words in practice within our  heart. Why? Because our heart is the battleground this time around. All the battles in biblical history have come to this last combat. We have to be resolute in staying with Christ no matter what.

“He summoned the crowd again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile. From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.” — Mark 7:1-23
