It’s All Too Predictable

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

Everything discussed in this article is predictable based either on Scriptural revelation regarding the end times, or logic in understanding how the malevolent mind of Satan works (as also revealed in Scripture. He focuses his efforts through human agents in this physical realm. Unfortunately, this can include in a subtle way some of God’s own people, whether they realize it or not. May we all focus our intentions on growing in our fear (of offending) the Lord to a greater degree each day to minimize this potential problem.

More Nuancing
I’ve noticed for some time now that author Max Lucado has gone somewhat off the biblical rails. As readers can see from a screen grab of his own post, he says sin is “a shortcut” or an “unwillingness to wait” for God’s best presumably. Sounds sweet, doesn’t it?

The problem is that the Bible defines sin as “lawlessness” (1 John 3:4), plain and simple. The apostle John says this exactly: Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. That means what it says, that we are lawless people who commit lawlessness. God could not have made that anymore clear and is His definition of sin and the results of it. Leave it to people to try to make it less obnoxious to us.

Lucado’s reimagining the actual definition of sin is par for the course and predictable (2 Timothy 3:1-5; 2 Peter 2), for these last days. The more well known the person, the more they seem willing to slice and dice God’s Word in order to gain or keep the number of followers they have, to sell books and have exciting conferences where people are just thrilled to be there…and buy more books (rinse, repeat). They make their living off of book sales and speaking engagements.

If we allow sin to be defined as the Bible defines it, chances are good in this day and age that you’ll lose followers and the name of the game is to have more, not less followers. More followers means more funds in the bank, generally speaking.

While I’m not declaring Lucado is a false teacher, what he is teaching here is demonstrably false. Peter, in 2 Peter 2, warns of false teachers and the ways they deceive those over whom they have authority (either given or taken).

What Lucado is teaching here is certainly wrong. Over the past five to ten years or more, we’ve seen more and more leaders within Christendom come out with startling comments that bear little to no relation to the truth of Scripture and this has been after they’ve become a household name with people generally respecting their teaching because initially things seemed to align nicely with Scripture.

Then they decide to start making things palatable for people and end up watering down Scripture, confusing people and bringing dishonor to God. May we flee from people like that. It is always interesting to read from the Hebrew Scriptures where a true prophet comes in contact with a false prophet who tells the people what they want to hear and in the process, denies the truth of God and His revealed Word. God doesn’t take kindly to His truth being adulterated.

I don’t believe we can fully comprehend just how bad our sin is, that sin that broke fellowship with God and demanded blood. He offered Himself as a blood sacrifice – the Lamb of God – in order that our sin might be forgiven and expunged so that we would be able to return to God not only for eternal life, but for ongoing fellowship, which is the essence of eternal life that begins in the here and now.

Pandemic 2.0
J D Rucker, in his latest substack article[1] noted that Jill Biden has contracted COVID…again and let’s remember that she is jabbed and boosted. This simply proves the lies of Fauci and the CDC among others that the jab would keep people from contracting CV and transmitting it to others.

Rucker warns that they are starting to ramp things up (predictably), by having household names and other famous people come down with the latest CV variant. Apparently, Whoopi Goldberg is taking a break from The View because she has allegedly tested positive for CV as well.

This is all part of the new, growing fear campaign to make people think that things are seriously ramping up so we won’t be surprised (or disobedient), when mandates (masking up, social distancing and even locking down once again), are issued. Rucker also warns that we will likely begin to see more celebs and famous folks announce they have CV to sell the Pandemic 2.0.

All of this upswing in incidences of new alleged CV cases is predictable because we are moving into the fall and winter and into another election cycle where paper ballots and drop boxes will once again be employed because it’ll be too dangerous to allow people to gather in buildings to vote.

Revisiting Spanish Flu
During the Spanish Flu, people wore gauze masks in an effort to protect themselves from what is referred in history as the “flu,” believed to have been imported by military personnel from Spain and passed from person to person either through the air, by touch or both. Well, was it?

Dr. Colleen Huber, in a recent article on her sub-stack [2] notes that it likely was not a viral flu at all and certainly had nothing to do with “Spain.” Her article is well worth the read. For instance, she notes way back in the early 1900s, there was a complete lack of adequate sewage treatment and infrastructure that would have taken human waste away and dealt with it, compared with what exists today. This played a huge role in spreading what was very likely not a viral flu, but a bacterial illness. Couple this with the severely overcrowded conditions of tenement living in early New York City, and a perfect storm was the result. Again, read the article because this is all very predictable simply because people are not taught actual history today.

No Meat for YOU!
Believe it or not, 14 cities in the USA have signed onto the WEF’s treaty to ban meat, dairy and private cars by 2030. It’s difficult to comprehend because it literally means bypassing our own governments and handing a foreign agency control (treason), just like many in the USA want to do with The Who.

This is predictable because they’ve been showing us their hand for a while and pushing us in a certain direction. We know the people on the Left – who appear to have gained control of many vaunted positions and agencies within the USA – are forging ahead to take the United States apart, brick by brick and turn our sovereignty over to foreign nations and agencies.

Nuclear War?
To hear the mainstream news in the USA tell it, everything is fine. The economy is great, our support of Ukraine is the best money we’ve ever spent and things are just going along swimmingly. Unfortunately, critically thinking people know these are fallacious.

The economy is not at all doing well and the last few months of 2023 will likely show more of this with 2024 being terribly unsettling financially for most. The war in Ukraine between that nation and Russia is not at all going well for Ukraine either. Tons of people in Ukraine are dying and people even older than 60 are being drafted into Ukraine’s army against a nation that is much larger and much more familiar with the art of war.

Apparently, though the media in the USA is not talking about nuclear war hardly at all, Russia’s media is talking about it because military leaders are talking about it.[3] In fact, to hear some in Russia tell it, nuclear war with Ukraine and even the USA is a likely event. It’s simply a matter of when not if.

This is all predictable because of the way Biden has handled things (or should I say, Obama and his team through Biden?). Since he took office, he seems to be bent on death and destruction egged on by the DOD and Pentagon to keep their coffers full to overflowing. Under Trump there were no new wars and that, as I’ve noted, was his biggest “sin.” He was not a warmongering Neocon (for all of his other faults), and the military complex could not have that so all stops were pulled out to eliminate his presidency.

It’s all predictable because we know what Satan is trying to accomplish and we know what Jesus has stated with respect to wars and rumors of wars in the last days (Matthew 24:6-8). The Tribulation cannot occur peacefully. It must be predicated on the creation of constant upheaval throughout global society in order to create enough fear and consternation in people that they’ll simply be borne along with it rather than see it for what it is. I’m not saying that all of this is fake or we shouldn’t be concerned. However, our concern should prompt us to see reality and make adjustments for ourselves and families rather than allow fear to immobilize us into doing nothing or making stupid decisions.

Satan isn’t playing games. The shadows of the coming Tribulation is beginning to make everyone’s life miserable now. Life is not going to be all sweet and rosy and then we wake up the next morning and hell has been unleashed. It takes time to build the coming one-world government led by Antichrist and many things need to be destroyed first. They’ve been working at it for decades.

We seem to be on the cusp of a terrible, terrible shaking, which will certainly separate professing Christians from authentic Christians. So what do we do? Here are some principles to live by:

1. Read God’s Word and commit it to memory – so you can recall it, pray it, repeat it to yourself and grow by it’s influence under the tutelage of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
2. Grow in your fear (of offending) the Lord, rather than being afraid of people and what we think they might be able to do to us – this is done by spending time seeing things from God’s perspective, not humanity’s. How? By observing the first principle above.
3. Pray without ceasing – bring everything, no matter how large or small. to our Lord and try to leave it with Him. In this way, your faith in Him will grow because you will see Him move in your life in ways that you may not expect. These will increase your faith.
4. Learn to stop fearing situations and circumstances – the world (and Satan), want us to be in a constant state of panic. God wants us to rely completely on Him. We cannot have it both ways. This does not mean we will never be tempted to panic or become fearful. It means that we will do all we can to work through it, give it to Him and trust Him for the outcome.

Our goal is to continue to seek and see the truth and not fear the lies. In Matthew 24, Jesus uses words and phrases like, “take heed,” “don’t be troubled,” and He warns us to not believe the lies we hear. You cannot be aware or not be troubled by situations if you believe the lies we are fed. The lies will weaken you and cause you to crumble.

There is a an unending supply of lies today, from every quarter. Society is being purposefully overwhelmed with lies in order to do two things: cause us to obey and cause us to stop thinking critically. Once they have accomplished these two things, they have what they want. But remember, they will only accomplish this because God allows them to do so!
