Since the beginning of time, Satan has been influencing societies in every nation of the world; starting with a society of 2... This fact dates back to before God made the nations and continues today.

The aftermath of Original Sin may be obvious, but the steady increase of evil among our societies and governments, the world has always known experientially, IS near its climax now, as the 7 year Tribulation rapidly approaches. That tells us that things will continue to get worse until Jesus Comes Back for His church; He called this “the beginning of sorrows” and “the birth pains” or “pangs,” depending on the Bible Version. It's these things along with the convergence of everything happening at once that marks this as the time of the end.

In short, the world will be overcome by evil progressively speaking, as time passes. Then once the Rapture happens and the Holy Spirit is removed, evil forces will utterly take over this whole world.

Then, after the Tribulation, Satan will be released for a short time, Jesus will defeat him, with the help of His saints (the believers who were raptured/that’s us!) and set up His Millennial Kingdom for 1,000 years. God will make a new Heaven and earth at this time, as the ravages of the Tribulation will destroy all that God and man have made.

Then, at the close of the 1,000 year period, there will be one last fight known as the battle of Armageddon, and then God will throw Satan and his minions into the Lake of Fire for all eternity and Heaven and earth will be free from evil forevermore!

This is God’s Master Plan to rid the world of evil. The church Age had a beginning, and likewise; has an end, and that end is getting nearer every single day. This is where many people wish they could turn off their ears and close their eyes and minds. They trust God and believe His Plan to be a good one, but the concept of the end of the world, as we know it is too much for them to bear, at least that’s what they must think and feel. But with God, we can not only handle it; we can thrive in spite of it and spread joy.

Now I don’t mean to insult anyone and I really do hate to say it, but isn’t denial unhealthy? Doesn’t it mean we aren’t living in reality? Doesn’t that create unnecessary stress; the kind that leads to all sorts of illness and even more confusion?

This is the reason for my concern, especially since I was raised to bury my head. I was taught to just ignore what seemed wrong instead of confronting it and what I learned from that is that when we fail to accept our circumstance, we cannot possibly make sound decisions or definitively hear from God for guidance.

I firmly believe that God has those living in denial covered, that things will still work out for them (like they did for me!) and they will be just fine in the long run, and be raptured! But, things would be much better, there would be a great deal of trouble they would learn to avoid, most especially stress, but other difficulties as well, if they would just take a few minutes and consider that what this article is proposing is absolute TRUTH.

In the end, it’s not beneficial to labor under a lie. It is far better to live in the truth, in clarity and peace; a peace God promises will come to those who trust in Him, even in the face of all logic or common sense.

Furthermore, when we live in God’s Truth; He reveals the meaning of the Scriptures; we find discernment, which leads us to a peace that is priceless. It’s worth facing things that are hard and preparing, especially emotionally, than to continue to deny what is right in front of us.

If we face the truth, God will give us a discernment and a confidence and a joy of anticipation that is SO much better than the stress and fear of not knowing what’s coming and not understanding what’s going on. And what’s going on is CRAZY!

Here are just a few of the headlines:

A six-year-old child shot his teacher on purpose!

The mass shootings for this year are already at record breaking numbers!

Our so-called government is lying through their collective teeth about everything from the vaccine to the border!

Parents are having to fight to keep their children’s innocence sacred in public school!

Churches are turning to wokeism over the fear of offending somebody, either that or depravity!

Pedophilia is being normalized!

Our borders are open to all so that America will be no more, while people with who knows what flood into our nation, our people are being forced into vaccination!

The war in ISRAEL that broke out a few weeks ago is a sign we are closer than ever to the end! 

Antisemitism is off the charts!

WAR HAS BROKEN OUT IN ISRAEL!

MASS SHOOTINGS ARE GROWING IN NUMBER

ALL OF THESE ARE SIGNS OF THE END!!!!

 

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The absolute worst part about living in denial, is that in so doing, we are making Satan quite happy, maybe not as happy as he could be since he cannot take our salvation, but still, why would we want to give him even a smidgen of satisfaction?

I could go on and on with examples all day, but these will do for now….

The most important thing is that we who know God does NOT have to be afraid, or worry or even experience one moment of stress when we see all that is happening in this world because for believers, it’s actually an opportunity for great celebration, for our redemption is drawing near!

JESUS IS ABOUT TO APPEAR IN THE SKY! (1Thessalonians 4:13-18)

THERE IS A CROWN FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIS APPEARING! (2Timothy 4:7-8)

Shouldn’t that be our focus? Isn’t the fact that we will forgo death enough for us to see that this is actually an amazing gift TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW?

TO all believers who choose to bury their heads: there is no reason to fear! If I could do it, so can you! We were chosen for a time such as this!

Let us witness as much as possible to as many people as possible so more souls may be saved! AND LETS LIVE IN JOY AND ANTICIPATION OF WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO!!!!!!

REJOICE all you people of GOD; rejoice!
