Our World Is Ready to Explode

 Covid lockdowns are driving people bonkers.  One of my friends had a 70 year old woman say to her as she walked by outside on the sidewalk, "Put on your f..cking mask!"  People are getting even more foul.  We were at a township meeting and neighbors were expressing opinions and it wasn't long before the F Bomb came out, "Not in my f..cking neighborhood!"  The billion dollar sports stadiums sit empty.  The restaurants are all closed in MN so what should have been the busiest week EVER over Thanksgiving saw ZERO business instead.  And those owners and serve staff will NEVER get that lost revenue back.

Now let's throw on the fact that it's been a month and still America doesn't know who the President will be.  The Left is ready to explode and burn everything down if Biden isn't put in office soon.  The Right is convinced the election was stolen and lots of those folks will soon pick up guns to stop the Left from burning and looting neighborhoods and cities.

Now let's look at Iran.  How about the Muslims erupting in France?  How about the Muslims murdering Christians in Nigeria?  How about the crazy weather?  How about the famines and hungry people??

Yep!  It's a powder keg out there and we aren't sure what might light the final short fuse to blow it all up.

And if our world lies on the edge of this coming time of wrath, then how much closer must we as believers be to the rapture that happens before the tribulation begins?

I believe we live in a period of relative calm before a great storm sweeps across the planet. God’s judgment on the Christ-rejecting world is ever so close at hand. The rapidly approaching tribulation will bring people face to face with the wrath of the Lord and give them one more opportunity to turn to the Savior before they face an eternity apart from Him.

Our World is Ready to Explode

We see evidence of a world set to explode everywhere we look. I provide just a few examples of this in the paragraphs below.

The election here in America has brought our nation to the point of breaking, with ramifications for the entire world. The one claiming to be the “president-elect” has in reality not won anything yet, and President Trump remains confident that he will prove a vast amount of election fraud and thereby remain in office.

If the Supreme Court should declare President Trump the winner, and this seems at least plausible, violence will likely erupt on the streets of the United States, and a civil war may occur. If there is a lengthy delay in announcing a final outcome of the election and President Trump does not concede, we may see the left attempt to forcibly remove him from office. Joe Biden and Barack Obama have both talked publicly about this possibility, which makes it something we cannot ignore.

If Biden becomes president on January 20, 2021, he plans to put the entire United States in lockdown for up to six weeks; an action that will surely bankrupt many businesses striving to survive from the previous lockdowns and bring economic hardship upon millions who will lose their jobs as a result of Biden’s harsh COVID-19 policies.

Iran, held in check by President Trump for the past four years, has already put its neighbors on notice that with Biden in office, they will return to their violent efforts to subdue the Middle East under its power. It’s easy to imagine how civil strife in America or the economic disaster following a Biden lockdown could become a flashing green light for Russia and Iran to invade Israel, per the prophecy in Ezekiel 38-39.

Not only is the world on the precipice of calamity from these possibilities, but geologists repeatedly warn of impending natural disasters in America. They say California is long overdue for a catastrophic earthquake. The frequency and sheer abundance of earthquakes at Yellowstone Park alarm many scientists who fear a disastrous eruption of the volcano in the park would instantly kill millions of people.

The Great Reset is Coming

Once the world falls over the edge, it will fall into the false security of the coming Great Reset advocated by the World Economic Forum (WEF). In an open letter to President Donald Trump dated October 25, 2020, Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò wrote these chilling words about how those behind The Great Reset will step in to save people and businesses falling off the cliff of financial ruin:

The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21 promoted by Bill Gates with the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. . . . Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.[i]

Does this not sound identical to the policies that the antichrist will enact during the tribulation? The only difference is that he will kill all those who do not worship him and refuse his mark (Rev. 13).

I keep thinking about that verse in the hymn; "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."

It's so true!  As gorgeous as this world is and as amazing as all the animals are the fun that we have had with family and friends....it's all starting to look a little hazy.  The world is groaning for what it will become and I'm actually getting excited for the next chapter that starts with the trumpet blowing.  

We know that we could still be writing to this blog 10 years from now but we sure hope Jesus doesn't tarry that much longer.
