The End Times: A Time of Rebellion, Led By the Original Rebel Himself

rebellion

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1SAMUEL 15:23

“Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals

[Although infamous Leftie, Saul Alinsky, penned a sloppy wet kiss to Satan in his book, Rules For Radicals, his affections for the devil triumphed over the facts: Lucifer–as Satan was once called–did NOT win his own kingdom, he usurped his territory for the relatively short time when the workers of iniquity have control of the earth.  When Jesus Christ returns, He will forcibly subdue both Satan (the dragon) and the lackeys in Satan’s gofer squad and take control of mankind FOREVER.

IF the reader wishes to learn more of this time, read Revelation 19-22.]

IF the reader hasn’t noticed already, he might keep an eye out for the many, many, MANY stories in the media which have attempted to stir up revolt, rebellion and revolution.

These stories have either focused on the faults–both real and imagined–of the present system OR they are outright calls to rebel and overthrow the system. As dozens and dozens of these pieces have begun appearing DAILY, it should not prove difficult for the reader to spot a few of them.

The end times are certainly a time of great deception, but they are also a time of GREAT rebellion–particularly against God, God’s Son, Jesus Christ and God’s Word.

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed [Jesus], saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
–Psalm 2:1-3

[Notice that God’s Word calls these end times rebels “heathens.”  Though they imagine themselves–and present themselves to the world–as deeply spiritual and religious [Satan is a BIG fan of the spiritual and religious.], these rebels are basically “heathens” to God Almighty.]

As the dragon (Satan) ascends for a season during the last days AND as the Corporate Media is called “Satan’s Mouthpiece” with good reason, the reader can expect many, many, many more of these stories in the days and weeks to come.

Satan (Lucifer) has been called the Original Rebel by more than one of his toadies.

“But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge.”
Mikhail Bakunin

[Bakunin neglects to mention that Satan–and Satan’s workers of iniquity who carry out Satan’s plans–LOUDLY proclaims liberty and freedom to be the highest of values–right up until the moment one of the satanic cranks seize control. Then–historically–they have proved more repressive than the regimes they replaced.]

So, the alert reader should be forewarned about the great rebellion against God which takes place in the end times–2THESSALONIANS 2:3 calls it the ‘falling away’–and make sure that he takes NO part in such behaviors.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”

Those stirring the pot of rebellion will protest that those in control are “tyrants.

But, God’s Word doesn’t say to rebel against such rulers. God’s Word (in more than a half-dozen places) clearly commands OBEDIENCE to the civil authorities–even when they persecute the would-be rebel.

ONCE MORE: Stay alert for those urging some sort of rebellion against the authorities and run the other way.

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
–Mark 13:37

HAS the reader heard these many voices urging revolt and rebellion against the corrupt persons who are in power?

DOES the reader believe these voices sound reasonable?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Game the Agnostic Plays

the agnostic

Whenever the atheist wants to appear more reasonable, he puts on the garb of the AGNOSTIC: agnosticism.

Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable.  Another definition provided is the view that “human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist.”

The agnostic claims to be all about REASON and EVIDENCE.

“Agnosticism, in fact, is not a creed, but a method, the essence of which lies in the rigorous application of a single principle … Positively the principle may be expressed: In matters of the intellect, follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard to any other consideration. And negatively: In matters of the intellect do not pretend that conclusions are certain which are not demonstrated or demonstrable.”
Thomas Henry Huxley

“Just show me some evidence and I’ll believe!”  is the cry of the agnostic–and the agnostic sounds so REASONABLE when he shouts.

BUT, there are some very BASIC problems with the apparent reasonableness of the agnostic.

1- The agnostic places all of his faith in evidence AS HE DEFINES IT.

ANY and ALL evidence which does not meet the definition of the agnostic is excluded and therefore,  he does not count it as evidence.

The evidence of the agnostic is the evidence of this world.  It is sensual: what can be touched, smelled, tasted, seen or heard.  So then, the agnostic disregards ALL evidence which is not based on his very UNRELIABLE, fickle senses. (And where the agnostic might acknowledge the undependability of human senses elsewhere, when it comes to his CREED–and yes, it IS a CREED (regardless of what agnostics may claim)–he will hold up his senses AS IF they were as solid as Sears.

2- When the agnostic automatically disqualifies, and then excludes, all evidence EXCEPT what he determines is valid, what he is doing is disqualifying that in which he does not BELIEVE; i.e., faith.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “
–Hebrews 11:1

Basically, by setting the terms of the debate, the agnostic is REALLY rigging the game in favor of his superstitions and prejudices.

3- The agnostic–like his brother-in-arms, the atheist–is armed with a seemingly never-ending supply of deceptive stories to offer as “evidence.”

And these stories may sound reasonable–as long as 1- one believes as the agnostic does; and, 2- one does not examine the stories too closely.

4- Because the agnostic is an unbeliever, he can not experience the evidences of faith.  And because the agnostic cannot experience faith, he disregards ANY and ALL instances where faith outweighs the simple “evidence” of this world.

IF the agnostic was objective (as he pretends to be) and interested in playing on a level field, he would not rig the terms of the debate so.

SO, basically the agnostic is someone who is caught up in the deceptions and superstitions of the world and is trying to pass himself off as someone who is able to change his stripes IF ONLY he is given the EVIDENCE to do so.

BUT, because he has NO faith, he is UNABLE to change.

Therefore, the agnostic is merely an atheist dressed up to appear REASONABLE to others.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
–Psalm 14:1

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Living a Life of Quiet Desperation?

desperate

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
Henry David Thoreau

Does the reader believe that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation“?

If agreed with H.D. Thoreau’s well-known claim, does the reader have any guesses as to why this circumstance might be?

It’s not hard to examine the lives of modern man and agree with Thoreau.

It is also not difficult to see why this agreement might be.

  1. Many moderns complain about so many different aspects of their daily lives.
  2. Many who do claim to be happy with their life base their conclusions solely on the amount of MONEY they earn–and not much else.
  3. Many moderns are resigned to living “lives of quiet desperation” because they are convinced that is the way life is SUPPOSED to be lived.

Modern man has almost completely divorced his life from what God’s Word advises: many moderns want to live their life “their own way.” When things do not work out so well for this group, they fall back on their firm belief that “Such is life!

In fact, the reader is most likely acquainted with many moderns whose desperation is not so quiet!

HOWEVER, God’s Word is completely at odds with Thoreau’s claim.

“Rejoice evermore.”
–1THESSALONIANS 5:16

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
–Psalms 118:24

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
–Phillipians 4:4

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
–Romans 14:17

“But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.”
–Psalm 68:3

Lives of quiet desperation” vs. “Rejoice evermore.”

Though the end times may APPEAR to be times of quiet desperation AND although the choice is up to each individual, in the times in which we live, the individual will almost certainly reject God’s Word and live his life “my way“–which is largely the way he has been raised to live.

Perhaps this is why the life of so many moderns is filled with “quiet desperation“?

IS the reader living a life of quiet desperation?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Sweet Tooth

sweets

While sauntering through the fruits and vegetables section of a big-box department store one day last week, one was struck by an INESCAPABLE fact of modern life.

There are MORE cakes and doughnuts and cookies and pastries sold in the fruit and vegetable section than there are fruits and vegetables.

This is, no doubt, because so much floor and display space in that section is devoted to SWEETS–rather than fruits and vegetables.

This is not something that is rarely seen OR is only seen at one location.  No,this is taking place, whether one is examining the grocery section of a big box retailer or is wandering about the local outlet of a national grocery chain.  The fruit and vegetables (which are generally healthier) are giving way to all manner of SWEETS and baked goods.

Has the reader noticed this?

Why does the reader suppose this is taking place?

This phenomena has been taking place for YEARS–at least since the late the first decade of the 2000s.  It was mentioned in passing a few years ago in these pages.  Additionally, a few years ago, after mentioning this occurrence, an acquaintance  made the guess that the cause MIGHT BE money.

“Maybe they make more money selling cake than they do fruits and vegetables?”

While that is a viable answer, upon closer examination, it appears to be unlikely for a couple of reasons.

1- IF increased profits are the reason (and IF the profits are bigger from cake than fruits and vegetable) than why is this happening NOW?  Why didn’t the clever entrapeneurs who started these national chain stores START OUT with a BIGGER section which featured SWEETS and a smaller section which contained the fruits and veggies?

Maybe these clever entrepreneurs didn’t want to make money?

2- Having worked at big box retailers with grocery sections, national grocery chain stores AND on a farm, this writer had NEVER heard that fruits and vegetables took a back seat to SWEETS in the Profit Department.

3- And why do the sweets pop up among the fruits and vegetables (the only location in a modern grocery outlet that is VERY HEALTHY)?

Again, does the reader have any speculation as to why this is taking place NOW?

Here is something the reader may or may not believe: it IS the end times and Satan, Satan’s workers of iniquity (sin) and the world reach their absolute ZENITH right before Jesus Christ returns to earth and settles their hash.

Therefore, the end times are a time, NOT ONLY of mass deception, but also of appealing to man’s senses and the things which fulfill those sensual desires.  Of teaching the rats, so to speak, to crave their bait.

Such as the sweet tooth possessed by most humans.

And cakes and pies and candy and doughnuts and cookies are ALL sweeter than most fruits and vegetables.

More unhealthy too.

God’s Word has a few bits of advice on eating sweets–which are not only true: they are memorable as well.

“My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste”
–Proverbs 25:13

SO, apparently God is okay with eating sweets?

He is (after all, He loves His creation and enjoys seeing man enjoy himself), but he also has a memorable warning: do NOT become a GLUTTON for sweets.

“Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.”
–Proverbs 25:16

The world has been teaching end times man (for years) to acquire a taste for SWEETS.

Wonder why?

This did NOT happen years ago in America.

At one time, cola was a once-a-week treat–instead of something to be almost constantly consumed throughout someone’s waking hours.

A popular saying is “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”

Particularly IF that stomach is connected to a sweet tooth.

HAS the reader noticed the erosion of fruits and vegetables by sweets?

WHAT does the reader think about this circumstance?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
