Babylon’s Legislative Agenda. Part [16] 9/05/2024 (Morning thought)

2nd Timothy 4:I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

The Christian in our day who decides to follow that which is written in the Bible will begin to experience headwinds of no ordinary character. And let no one be deceived into thinking that it will stop at mere economic boycotts. It won’t, for it is predicted in the Scriptures to deteriorate into a full-blown life, and death matter. Therefore, the you and me in the here and now will have to be prepared to face fines and prosecution as the heat of the furnace is turned up several notches.

If God says it in His word, that should settle it in our minds permanently, and we must let the chips fall where they may. This will call for unswerving faithfulness, integrity, and most of all, a knowledge of the truth so that we would not be carried away by every philosophy and doctrine that is structured to stymie God’s revealed will.  God will grant us grace, and strength to meet every emerging threat to our God-given freedoms, but we must ask for the presence, and power of God’s Holy Spirit, for it’s not by human might and power, but by The Sprit of God alone, that present truths for this generation will be lived and preached.

Therefore, we will end with a quote from the pen of inspiration that we’ll do well to ponder, because the time is now and the place is here. [Signs of the times May 4 1882] The greatest want of this age is the want of men, men who will not be bought or sold; men who are true and honest in their inmost souls. Men who will not fear to call sin by its right name, and to condemn it, in themselves or in others; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right, though the heavens fall.

2nd Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Babylon’s Legislative Agenda. Part [15] 9/05/2024 (Evening thought)

Isaiah 59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

This is what the prophet Isaiah predicts specifically as he paints a picture of the legislature gone wild, in our first passages, as legislative bodies lay the legal framework for evil to be installed as good, and vice versa. And this is what the prophet John predicts as a false system of worship will be established as the law of the land, and thus, dissenters will consequently be prosecuted.

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
