Americans Being Conditioned to Submit to New World Order

 We have said numerous times that these vaccine mandates, neighbors turning in neighbors who are unvaccinated and now NYC Police arresting people who can’t produce their vaccine passports, are all prepping planet Earth to accept and even welcome the Mark of the Beast when the Antichrist shows up after the rapture.  Now Rand Paul is warning that we are being conditioned to submit to the NWO that will one day take over America.  It’s all related.  One step at a time.

*******************************************

Libertarian-conservative Sen. Rand Paul noted in recent days that it’s become obvious to him that the Biden regime and the deep state Marxists who are propping it up are using COVID-19 as a means of conditioning Americans to accept authoritarianism and permanently surrender their constitutional rights because sheep are a whole lot easier to rule over.

In an interview with Fox News host Dan Bongino, the Kentucky Republican responded to remarks by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) after he compared “anti-vaxxers here in this chamber” to “flat-earthers” from hundreds of years ago who did not believe the globe was round.

“Schumer left out one thing when they were denying that the Earth went around the sun. It was the government denying that and it was an independent scientist trying to set them straight,” Paul said in reference to Schumer’s ignorance of history.

Paul noted further that “the danger is when you let science be controlled by government, or by one sort of monolithic individual like [Biden administration medical adviser Dr. Anthony] Fauci, it really doesn’t have anything to do with science.

Science usually discovers the truth eventually. But when science is dictated by the government, that’s when you get, you know, Flat Earthers,” he added.

“I don’t think it’s been about science for a long time,” Paul continued.

“It’s really been about conditioning the American individual to submit to government. And you’re right, it never ends, the goalposts will continue to change. And ultimately, more and more of your healthcare will be controlled,” the Kentucky Republican and ophthalmologist added.

Tornadoes in Minnesota in December?? First Time EVER!

 As our quest for headlines reporting the "first time EVER", we were real close to some crazy weather yesterday as we live here in Minnesota.  After being 0 degrees a few weeks ago and having 20 inches of snow dropped on the Twin Cities, it went to 55 degrees yesterday and started melting all the snow.  On top of that lighting and thunder started at out house around 6 pm and some torrential rain which vanished the rest of our snow.

Then the rain quit and at about 9pm and it was very quiet.  About midnight I was awakened by a howling wind which blew for hours.  When we went to bed it was 55 and raining and by morning it was 18 degrees with sharp wind from the North West which had created a "flash freeze".  We'd never really heard the weatherman use those words either but there it was.  And it certainly happened just as he said it was going to.

A rare winter thunderstorm possibly whipped up two December tornadoes in Minnesota Wednesday night — an unprecedented event in recorded state history.  (Translation:  FIRST TIME EVER!)

The National Weather Service said it will send one team to Freeborn and possibly Faribault County in Minnesota on Thursday to determine “whether damage was caused by a tornado or straight line winds” in the Hartland area. A crew will also be assessing possible tornado damage in Plainsview, Minnesota. In Wisconsin, crews will determine damage in Eau Claire County

A possible tornado struck northwest of Albert Lea in Hartland just after 7 p.m., while another unconfirmed one hit just southwest of Wabasha. There are reports of heavy damage to a bank and several homes in Hartland, where winds topped 85 mph. There were no reported injuries.

WCCO spoke with a viewer named Lillie who was in Hartland as the storm passed through. She says her family went into the basement, bringing their dog and cat. She says it was very quiet, and then her mom described the roar of the wind as sounding like a train. When she felt like the danger passed, they walked about a block from their home to a main street and saw some of the damage. Lillie says they are without power Wednesday night.

The Twin Cities was under a Tornado Watch for several hours, which the National Weather Service canceled around 10 p.m.

Joe Biden will tell us this is all part of the climate catastrophe that is upon us.  Bible readers know it's simply more birth pangs of the soon-coming Tribulation.

As Steve Martin would say, "Wild and crazy times!"

Evangelical Leader Blasts Trump for His "F**K Him" Comment

 It would appear that Trump has ruffled some of his most ardent supporters with his comments about Israel and his "F**K him!" comment towards Netanyahu.

An Evangelical adviser to former president Donald Trump blasted him in a letter for his anti-Netanyahu outburst in interviews last week, saying he would not win the presidency back this way, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Mike Evans, an early and firm supporter of Trump’s presidency who heads several Christian organizations, wrote in part, “Please, I beg of you, don’t put us in the position to choose between you and Bible land. There is no possibility you can win again if Bible-believing evangelicals see you as the ‘F–k Netanyahu’ president who . . . blames the State of Israel, and not the Palestinians, for not making peace.”

Trump had used the expletive when speaking with Barak Ravid of the Axios and Walla news sites in conveying his fury that the then-prime minister had congratulated Joe Biden on his victory over Trump in last year’s U.S. elections.

Although Netanyahu waited over 12 hours from the time the American media called the presidency for Biden to send his compliments, making him one of the last world leaders to acknowledge the win, Trump said he had been “earlier than most” to do so.

The fervent Christian Zionist added that the ex-president should understand that Netanyahu “has much greater support among evangelicals in America than you.” Trump was therefore risking their vote if he runs again, as he has indicated he would.

Evans’ friendship with Netanyahu goes back decades, to well before he became Israel’s longest-serving leader.

Other Evangelical leaders have not condemned Trump’s remarks, although at least one other said that it would be good to clear the air between the two former heads of state.

In an emailed statement, Jack Graham of Trump’s faith advisory council wrote that Trump should “reconcile with Benjamin Netanyahu and clarify his reported remarks.” But as Sandra Parker, one of the leaders of Christians United for Israel, the biggest pro-Israel lobby, pointed out in her own email to the paper, “Evangelical support for Israel is rooted in our Biblical tradition which transcends both politics and personalities.”

God will use whomever He wants to accomplish His plans.  He used Nebuchadnezzar to punish the Jews and He can use Trump to deliver Jerusalem and the Golan Heights into Israel's hands.  For Trump to believe that he was single handedly responsible for blessing Israel and even saving Israel is the height of pride.  And we all know what the Bible has to say about pride.  

Maybe one day soon, Trump will lose his mind and crawl around eating grass like an ox?  It's happened before to Babylon's king who believed he was responsible for events that were, in fact, orchestrated by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Daniel 4:28-33

28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?”

31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

Iranian Newspaper Shows Israeli Targets All Lined Up

 According to inside sources, Israel is getting ready to attack Iran.  Some sources are claiming that USA has refused their request for aircraft that can refuel their bombers in the air.  Some sources say that's not true but that the planes are simply backordered.  Kind of like the shelves are empty at the grocery store so are the shelves holding military planes I guess.  We don't know, but insider Amir Tsarfati said there are signs everywhere in Israel that they are getting ready to attack Iran.  Israel is preparing its citizens to go underground for a long time knowing full well that Iran would make good on its promise to launch thousands of missiles from Lebanon directly into Israel.

Iran’s premier English-language newspaper published Wednesday a map of Israel showing hundreds of points throughout the country where it could strike if Israel attacks it, under the headline “Just one wrong move!”

The threatening headline is followed by a clear warning, with the opening line, “An intensification of the Israeli military threats against Iran seems to suggest that the Zionist regime has forgotten that Iran is more than capable of hitting them from anywhere.”

Looking like the red, rocket alert signs that the Israeli government uses, the points on the map stretch all the way to Eilat at Israel’s southern tip. Dozens overlap each other especially on the eastern and western borders. On the seafront, they are crowded from central Raanana down to the Gaza Strip, where they veer inland to avoid the coastal enclave to mark the entire border with Israel. They then continue in a line down a good section of the Sinai border with Egypt. The borderline with Jordan between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea is also teeming with red marks, as is most of the center of the country, including Jerusalem.

US Needs to Show Political Will With China, Russia and Iran

 Yesterday we blogged about the imminent rumors of war in regards to China, Russia and Iran.  A weak America is a danger to the entire world.  And Russia, China and Iran know that Biden is weak as are the Democrats who would rather focus on defunding the police and paying off everyone's student loans.  They know that if they are going to act to take over Ukraine, Taiwan and Iran to build a nuke to threaten the world, that they all better act sooner than later because they can't risk that Trump, or someone like him, is going to be elected and stand up against their evil empires with tough talk and action.

Today we saw this headline at Epoch Times that mentions the same players as we wrote about yesterday, so considered it blog-worthy.

With China, Russia, and Iran, US Needs to Show Political Will

What we have now with China and Russia are distinctly different cases of countries aggressively seeking greater influence in the world and particularly on their own borders, and steadily flexing their muscles while seeking to avoid arousing the United States and its bedraggled alliances to a confrontational response.

China is a vastly more serious challenge than Russia. It has already accomplished the greatest feat of economic self-elevation of any nation in history. Of course, that accomplishment has been very uneven. Premier Li Keqiang recently said 600 million Chinese live on less than 1,000 yuan ($157) a month. At the same time, enormous wealth is concentrated in the hands of well-placed Communist Party members. Economic growth has been gained at the cost of extreme environmental degradation, and it has been accompanied by extensive human rights violations and the creation of a police state more comprehensive than any heretofore imagined.

It is the only country that at times in its past was one of the world’s greatest nations and descended into disorganization, weakness and foreign condescension and revived from such a state of vulnerability to become a great power in the world again.

The much vaunted “Open Door policy” of the United States towards China 125 years ago was really just an open door to permit the United States to join Japan and the European powers in the exploitation of a prostrate China.

When Mao Tse-tung won the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and occupied Beijing, he uttered the famous words “China has stood up.” So it has, but as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in an interview last week it is also true that “China is not 10 feet tall.”

Biden has a long history of being pro-Chinese and that is without factoring in the generous and highly inappropriate payments that the Biden family have received from China for unspecified services.

These are entirely temporary circumstances but they have emboldened the Chinese to tear up the treaty it had subscribed over Hong Kong with the United Kingdom, one of the world’s most respected nations, and it has not shown any disposition to relax what amounts to a long-term genocide against their Uyghur minority, constant persecution of all religions, or to engage in aggressive military skirmishing in the Himalayas with India, to make absurd claims of the South China Sea as territorial waters, and to threaten to abrogate the 1972 Shanghai agreement with President Nixon. That agreement asserted the principle of a united China including Taiwan, but with assurance that China would not try to reunify China coercively, and that the U.S. would not encourage the complete separation of Taiwan from China.

The facts remain that China, compared to the United States, is resources-poor, chronically aged (because of their insane one-child policy), has no political institutions that function well and are trusted inside or outside China, and no statement or number published by the People’s Republic that can be believed. It is well advanced to becoming the most technologically totalitarian regime in history, with the ability to locate every single person in the country within a few minutes.

It remains a corrupt regime with all the long-term instabilities of dictatorships, made more complicated by the fact that it purports to be a communist society while promoting state and monopolistic capitalism.

Here;  With China, Russia, and Iran, US Needs to Show Political Will (theepochtimes.com)

We need to remember that will all of Putin's bluster and bravado, they are an intensely poor country who has a GDP smaller than New Jersey.  Yes they have some intense super-sonic missiles that could cause some real havoc but we are still WAY more powerful than Russia.

Same thing goes with China.  Their country is a mess of poverty and one of their hugest corporations just went belly up and is going to cause huge financial problems for this huge, corrupt, childless nation.  USA is still WAY more powerful than China and we need to act like it.

Iran?  Good grief.  It's hard to imagine the incompetency of Biden and his willingness to try and resurrect the idiotic Obama-Iran nuke deal.  Iran is on the verge of collapse and they desperately want a bomb for one last hurrah and Biden is most likely going to allow it to happen and may even be attempting to stop Israel from destroying Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Brian Williams Signs Off With Scary Message for America

NBC Nightly News anchor, Brian Williams, had his last goodbye a few days ago as he is going to try retirement for a while. In his final farewell he talks about an America that has become unrecognizable from what it was even a few years ago. He speaks of politicians who are smart enough to know better but have instead joined the angry mobs who are calling to “burn it all down”.  Brian fears for America like never before and his words seem almost prophetic coming from someone who has reported and seen current events every single night for decades.

As you read the OT books of Hosea, Amos, Joel and other prophets, they all warned Israel that they were going to burned down because of their godlessness, their worship of false gods, their perversion and their fact that they had zero fear of the Lord.  And of course they were torn down and destroyed for 2000 years.

So when I hear from folks who claim to be Christians and they say that God only has blessings in store for America and would NEVER curse this nation or tear it down, it makes me wonder what God they are worshiping?  It certainly doesn’t seem they are worshiping the God of the Bible. “Depart from me, I don’t know you!”, have to be the most terrifying words spoken by Jesus.

Hottest Temperature EVER Recorded in Arctic

 This news is being reported today even though the actual temperature record was set in June of 2020. 

The United Nations on Tuesday officially recognized the 38 degrees Celsius measured in Siberia last year as a record high for the Arctic, sounding "alarm bells" about climate change.

The sweltering heat — equivalent to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit — was seen on June 20, 2020 in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk, marking the highest temperature ever recorded above the Arctic Circle, the World Meteorological Organization said. 

This is the first time the WMO has added record heat in the Arctic to its archive of extreme weather reports, and it comes amid an unprecedented wave of record temperature spikes globally, the U.N. agency said.   

Here;  Newly-confirmed Arctic record 100-degree heat in Siberia setting off climate change "alarm bells," U.N. says - CBS News

Of course this will be the cause of much talk about "global warming" and "climate catastrophe".  It will also give rise to much more talk about the need for a global government authority to battle this climate emergency.

You see, in their eyes it does very little good for America to shut down a coal plant if Russia is opening two.  But can imagine anytime soon China and Russia having some "woke" officials from Europe demanding that they lower their carbon footprint?  Not sure how it's all going to work out, but here's what I do know.  The Bible says that as long as the earth endures there will be winter and springtime, heat and cold, planting and harvest.  We believe that most of these crazy weather events like record heat, record cold, record volcanoes and record earthquakes are the result of the earth GROANING under the weight of sin.

It's a fact;  the more people you have on planet earth the more sin that exists because ALL PEOPLE are sinners!  Historians tell us that when Jesus walked on earth 2000 years ago that the population of the entire planet was around 200 million and now we have 7.5 billion!  That's 37.5 times more sinners today than 2000 years ago!  Of course the world is going to groan under the curse of all that sin!

We yearn for the day when we will have our new glorified bodies that will never die and also won't sin! We will be the bride of Christ!  We look forward to having the same flesh as Jesus Christ currently has and we dream of how awesome it will be to rule and reign with him on planet earth for 1000 years! 1000 years with the curse lifted!

For this reason, Bible-believing, followers of Christ do not have Greta Thuneburg and climate emergency at the top of our "things that concern us."  We are much more concerned about spreading the Gospel to these 7.5 billion sinners before it's too late for them.

Ex-White House Doctor Says Omicron Could Spell End of Pandemic

 This new Omicron variant of Covid could end up being great news for us all.  Initial studies are that Omicron is very contagious, just like the common cold every winter, but that the symptoms are very light and could end up turning Covid 19 into just another corona virus that causes the common cold.

Former White House physician William Lang believes Omicron could continue to spread and become dominant across the globe. But he thinks that could be a good thing.

Lang said he tells people who fear Omicron may be a killer virus like Delta that it is highly probable "that Omicron is the beginning of the end because it is morphing into one of the other coronaviruses.”

He explained that there are about four common coronaviruses that cause about 20% of colds in the world. They were at one point in their existence likely causing bad disease, but humanity developed resistance to them, and now they cause colds. “That’s maybe what is happening with Omicron. I believe it’s more likely that it’s a Delta-plus killer,” he said.

But indications are that the severity of illness associated with Omicron is significantly less. It is not known for sure how much less severe, but there are fewer relative number of hospitalizations, Lang noted. He said heavily overcrowded areas are not seeing significant increases in hospitalizations, and, anecdotally, doctors in South Africa are saying Omicron is causing mild symptoms.

But Lang wonders whether Omicron will escape the mitigation tools in place, which he categorizes as antiviral medications, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and social distancing and masking.

For one, he questions whether social distancing and wearing a mask, which has been touted throughout the pandemic as foolproof ways to stay safe, will continue to provide the protection as they did with the earlier variants.

Here;  Ex-White House Doctor Says Omicron Could Be Key To Ending Pandemic (fa-mag.com)

Omicron could be a Delta variant killer!

Of course news like this won't immediately silence the "vaccinate everyone now!" crowd, but over time it certainly could.

Maybe someday soon getting a Covid vaccine will fall into the same category as getting a seasonal flu shot.  You aren't mandated to get a flu shot but it's highly recommended you get one if you are weak, old and frail because the flu kills thousands of Americans every year but we don't shut down the entire economy and put businesses out of business and lock people up forcing them from their jobs.

We can certainly hope this dude is correct! 

Rumors of Imminent Wars on Numerous Fronts

 Let's count the wars that could break out at any moment;

China vs. Taiwan

Russia vs. Ukraine

Israel vs. Iran

All of these could be a really big deal for America, especially China vs. Taiwan since we have promised to defend Taiwan if China invades.

China's military "will heavily attack U.S. troops who come to Taiwan's rescue" if a war between China and Taiwan breaks out, a possibility that is increasingly likely as the Communist regime readies its war machine on Taiwan's borders.

The latest threat to attack the United States during any standoff between China and Taiwan was issued Thursday in the Global Times, an official Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece that prints the regime's propaganda. "It is credible that the [People's Liberation Army] will heavily attack U.S. troops who come to Taiwan's rescue," the paper wrote. "Such credibility is increasingly overwhelming the deterrence that U.S. troops may have."

Russia Warns of Full-Scale War in Eastern Ukraine, Blames Kyiv

Russia said on Monday that it may deploy nuclear missiles in Europe because it claims NATO is doing the same.

Last week, Biden told reporters that putting U.S. troops on the ground was “not on the table.”

“The idea the United States is going to unilaterally use force to confront Russia from invading Ukraine is not on — in the cards right now,” Biden reiterated.

Biden held a video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week and said, “I made it very clear: If, in fact, he invades Ukraine, there will be severe consequences — severe consequences — and economic consequences like none he’s ever seen or ever have been seen, in terms of being imposed.”

The Group of Seven (G7) coalition consisting of the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan also released a joint statement on Sunday warning Russia of “massive consequences and severe cost” if it continued military aggression against Ukraine.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Friday that he notified US officials during meetings this week in Washington that he had instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for a strike against Iran.

In a briefing with reporters on the sidelines of the Israeli American Council’s national summit in Florida, Gantz said the order he gave was to “prepare for the Iranian challenge at the operational level.”

A senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, indicated that Gantz had presented a timeline for when such an attack might take place during his meetings with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, but the source did not specify further.

Here;  Gantz: I told the US I've ordered the IDF to prepare a strike against Iran | The Times of Israel

Let's remember as well that Israel has continued to launch attacks into Damascus to stop chemical weapons from being re-developed.  So Isaiah 17 is still very much on the horizon.  And also, we have blogged about it for years but Ezekiel 38 continues to move forward with Russia, Iran, Turkey, Sudan, and other Muslim nations joining the coalition.

All of this news should remind followers of Christ the rapture of the church has always been imminent.  There are no signs that point to the rapture but there are plenty of signs that point to the Great Tribulation...and the rapture happens before that.  

Even so, Come Lord Jesus!

Jesus Returning to Condemn and Judge

 What he says is so true!  Even most Christians want to believe that Jesus is never going to condemn anyone when He returns.  They want to believe when he returns that he's going to teach everyone to sing kum-ba-yah and hold hands and make a big Coca Cola commercial about teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony.  He's going to embrace all the Buddhists and Muslims and Hindus and even the Luciferians and tell them how wonderful they all are and how much he loves them all!

Of course this is a lie from the pit of hell!  It's exactly what Satan wants the unbelieving world to believe.  If there is no fear of judgment and condemnation then there is no reason to accept Christ to save you from those things.

Here's what Amir Tsarfati had to say about such;

At the second coming, when Jesus returns, many people are going to suffer from judgment. Remember, He’s not coming as a loving, turn-the-other-cheek, mild Savior on a donkey crying over the confused Jerusalem. No, Jesus will return as a man of war. That’s one thing many Christians have a hard time with, because when Jesus came the first time it was not to condemn, but to save. But the second coming is completely different. 

Jesus will consume all of His enemies, and He will sit and reign from Jerusalem. And this is the part that, unfortunately, the Jews are fixing their eyes on. They are fixated on the Judge who will come and destroy their enemies and establish His kingdom in Jerusalem. They completely ignore the part that He had to first come to die for their sins. And yet we see there are two different events. The rapture, where we are delivered, and the second coming when the removal of people will actually be for judgment.

One of the most frequently misquoted, and thus misunderstood, verses in the Bible is connected to the most frequently quoted and most famous verse in the Bible:

John 3:16-17

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

John 3:16 is obviously the most well-known and oft-quoted verse. However, verse 17 is the most misquoted, or partially quoted. It is from the latter verse that we often hear the phrase, “Jesus did not come to condemn the world.” That’s true, but the problem comes with the context. Those who quote John 3:17 in an effort to establish that Jesus never condemns anyone, fail to keep reading the rest of Jesus’ words:

John 3:18-19

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

Verse 18 interprets verse 17 in that Jesus did not come into the world to condemn the world. Why not? Because the world was already condemned. Instead, He came into the world to save the world from the consequences of man’s condemned state apart from Him.

We also often hear, “Jesus never judged anyone”, which again is not true:

John 5:22-23

“For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”

In the book of Revelation, Jesus is the key figure. The Greek word for Revelation is apokalypsis, which means “full disclosure” or “to take the lid off, to enlighten”. The full disclosure and enlightenment found in Revelation is all surrounding the person of Jesus Christ. It is Jesus who opens the seven seals, which are followed by the seven trumpet judgments and the seven bowls of God’s undiluted wrath on the earth. It is also Jesus who returns in Revelation 19 and makes war upon the enemy’s forces (19:11).

Although it is a clear Biblical truth that all judgment has been committed to Jesus and that He is returning not as a lamb but as a lion, many today don’t want a Jesus who is a judge. They either want Jesus as a babe in a manger, or they want Him nailed to a cross where He can save them but is unable to interfere with their lives.

It is quite amazing to consider that the Jews rejected Jesus for not being a lion, and many today reject any teaching about Jesus being anything other than a lamb.

For all who believe in the Biblical Jesus, He is the Lion and the Lamb. He is the suffering Savior and the conquering King. He is the Prince of peace and the God of war. He is the Babe in a manger and the Mighty God who saves. He is the crucified Christ and the defeater of death. He is the Holy One of Israel and the head of the church.

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53:9-11

And they made His grave with the wicked—but with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities.

Isaiah made it clear that the Messiah would suffer death for the sins of others. Yet, He would see His seed and have prolonged days (resurrecting from the dead). But the Jews didn’t want, or feel they needed, to be saved from their sins. They wanted a conquering King. Many in the world and  in the church today don’t want a conquering King. They want a suffering Savior who saves them and leaves them alone to do and live as they please – the “Jesus never judges anyone” kind of Savior.

It is true, Jesus did not come into the world to condemn it. It already was condemned. He came into the world as a helpless child to prove His humanity, to die a sinner’s death, to demonstrate His love irrefutably, and to rise from the dead early in the morning on the first day of the week in order to prove His deity. He’s coming again to establish His authority. He will first meet the church in the air with the dead in Christ, and then He will come back to Jerusalem with the church to set up His kingdom.

He came once as a humble lamb slain and He’s coming again as the roaring Lion of Judah. If the Jesus you believe in is not those things, you believe in the wrong Jesus.

Revelation 19:11-16

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

This is the “full disclosure” of the Biblical Jesus. He is the King of all kings, He is the Lord above all lords, and, someday, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is the Lord!

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus

Here;  Amir's Bible Bites Devotionals (mailchi.mp)

Even a casual reading of Revelation 19 should allow you to see that Jesus is going to use a sharp sword to strike down the nations.  That sure sounds like he's going to use the sharp sword to kill people who are the members of those nations.  How else do you read it?

If you have accepted Christ as the Savior then you have nothing to fear.  If you haven't then you should have a great fear of Jesus who WILL BE bringing the wrath of God to pour out upon all ungodly people...which is EVERYONE who hasn't accepted Jesus as Creator/God/Emmanuel/Messiah.
