Beware Of Misinformation, And Conspiracies. Part [14] 11/02/2024 (Morning thought)

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

You will observe that in all of the news media reporting on the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes and other natural disasters, no direct link is being made to the prophecies of the Bible, for the references are in a vague format, leaving listeners to draw their own conclusions. Here are a few examples from the horse’s mouth, of what we are referring to:

CNN “We have had biblical proportions of rain over the night and into the day,” Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said Saturday. Sun July 23, 2023. ABC News: Rain of 'biblical proportions': Fort Lauderdale residents stranded in homes, cars. April 14, 2023, 11:59 AM. CBS News: Here's how Hurricane Helene brought "biblical devastation" to western North Carolina in a near "worst-case scenario" October 1, 2024. Newsweek: Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer described the devastation as a "post-apocalyptic scene" during an interview on CNN. Sep 30, 2024.

Just to be clear, the word of God links these things to the 2nd coming of Christ, as they are predicted to increase in frequency and severity, and it also tells us that we are to expect increasing devastation from natural disasters, the closer we get to the coming of The Lord.

Matthew 24:6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

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

Beware Of Misinformation, And Conspiracies. Part [13] 11/02/2024 (Evening thought)

Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the Most-High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whosoever he will, and sets up over it the basest of men.

To put it plainly, if God sees it fit to put back Donald Trump in the seat of power, then so be it. And if He sees fit to pass the baton to Kamala Harris, then so be it. Christians are never to rush ahead of God, and take matters into their own hands, just because they might not agree with what God is permitting.

Last but not least, is the tendency to prefer science above the Bible, for whenever this is done, persons will ultimately choose the sayings, and philosophies of men, over the Sacred writ. In an age, where misinformation, and conspiracies abound, we will discover that the only safe reliable sources in many instances will be the unadulterated word of God, and the spirit of prophecy.

For instance, when most news anchors speak about floods of Biblical proportions, or when they speak of apocalyptic scenes of destruction, they never, ever explain what they mean by that. The clear word of God in prophecy is bypassed, and no link is ever made between what is transpiring on the earth, with what the prophets of the Bible have predicted, as pertaining to the final days of earth’s history.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

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