“Why
do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing?
The
kings of the earth set themselves, and
the rulers takecounsel
together
against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying,
Let
us break their bands asunder, and cast
away their cords from us.”
Psalm 2:1-3
INTRODUCTION
I have some ask me, “Preacher, what is going on?Why is the world in
such a mess?”Well,
the answer is to be found right here in
this Scripture text.Let
it soak in…..
WHO?
THE KINGS AND THE RULERS
Notice that this prophetic text explicitly states that
it is the “kings
and rulers” who take counsel together against the Lord.They are the ones
who are causing the heathen
to rage, and the peoples to imagine a vain thing.
Folks, the kings and rulers are the men living today
who have been
entrusted with the power of ruling the nations. Sadly, fallen
mankind does not know how to
use power.The
more power they are
given, the worse the world situation becomes.And they have an insatiable thirst for more and more
power.This is
exactly why the future Kingdom of
Christ will be ruled by the Lord and His glorified saints.It is just not in
fallen man to be entrusted
with the power of ruling.We all know
what a king is (a dictator), but who are the rulers being
referred to in this
prophecy? They
are the Presidents, Governors,
and assorted politicians that are in Congress, or in a
Parliement.Now
take a serious look at the politicians in
positions of power in America today, and you will know why
America is in the
mess it is in, and why people are marching, demonstrating, and
rioting in the
streets of America.But
let’s take a
closer look at WHO these wicked people really are…….
Most of our readers have read or heard of “The New
World Order, the Deep
State, the Club of Rome, the Illuminati,” and whatever else
they call themselves.But
just knowing that such groups exist, is
not the full story.
They not only exist, but
they run the
world.Our
inspired text tells us that there
was a time when they “took counsel together” against the Lord.They decided to join
forces in order to purge
the world of God, Christ, the Bible, and of all true
“Christian” believers.They
wanted to replace God by “playing God”
themselves.
I do not know the exact time this decision was made by
these wicked
kings and rulers, but for the purposes of this study, I am
going to say
somewhere around 1973. That
was the year
when the Club of Rome took a world map and divided all the
nations on the earth
into ten kingdoms. Their
plan was
to have a king (dictator) ruling over every kingdom, and to
have each of the
tens kings answerable to an 11th king who would
rule over all. There
is no doubt that this plan was inspired by Satan.Satan is well aware
of the Lord’s plan to establish
His kingdom on the earth, and Satan thought he could prevent
it,, by
establishing his own kingdom. This would form a one-world
government, which
“supposedly” could guarantee peace and safety for the entire
world.There
would be no more wars, and the whole of
mankind could devote themselves to peace and prosperity.Sic!
Now if any reader thinks this is just a fantastic,
fool, theory, perhaps
you need to carefully study the prophecies of Revelation.Notice carefully
Revelation 12:3, 13:1, 17:3,
17:7, 17:12, and 17:16.Study
also
Daniel 7:7-8, 7:20, 7:24, 8:3, 8:6-7, and 8:20.How many horns or kingdoms are set forth in these
prophecies?Now
whether some want to believe it or not,
during the coming seven years of the Tribulation period, the
entire world WILL
be divided into ten kingdoms, just like these wicked anti-god
kings and rulers
have planned, and have been working for, ever since it was
planned out by their
counseling together with the Club of Rome.
But before they could bring their plan to reality, they
had problems for
which they had to find solutions.
HERE
IS THE “WHY”
Their first problems
was “population reduction
and control.” In their wicked minds, there were just too many
people living on
the earth.So is
it just “coincidence”
that shortly after their meeting in 1973, abortion was
“legalized.”The
cold blooded murder of the innocent
unborn.This,
they reasoned, would stop population
growth.Since it
was “legalized” in
1973, according to a government report I received, there have
been 63
MILLION innocent unborn babies killed (aborted) in
America
alone.Of course
this wicked evil was
planned to begin in America.Why?Because
for 200 years the other nations of
the world had looked to America for moral guidance.These wicked world
planners knew that if
America “legalized” abortion, the other nations of the world
would follow
America’s example.And
they did!If
moral America approved aboretion, then it
must be okay, and nation after nation then “legalized” it in
their
country.Since
1973, there have been MILLIONS
of innocent unborn babies slaughtered all over the world.
Now let these readers who believe this great nation of
America will
never be destroyed, or cease to exist, run this through their
minds.Does God
have any reason to destroy this“slaughter house” of the innocent
unborn?Well…??
Another problem…..Even in 1973, these wicked world
kings and rulers believed
that the world population was too
great.There were
nearly 8 billion
people living on the earth.The wicked
world planners reasoned that the earth could produce enough
food for 5 billion
people, with no one going hungry.So
they set out to reduce the population of the world by bringing
about the death
of some 3 billion people.Have
our readers ever ask themselves why, since 1973, there has
been a WAR going on
somewhere on the earth all these years?And “you ain’t seen nuthin yet!”Think
Covid 19 and the vaccinations taking place today.These wicked kings
and rulers, during the
coming Tribulation, will be slaughtering people by any means
possible.They
couldn’t care less about your brother,
your husband, your son, or even your daughter.They have an agenda they are working towards, and they
have no plans to
stop until their goal is reached.
Oh yes, the third major problem…..those stinking
“Christians.”They
have to be eliminated!So
how would this be done without raising the
ire of the general public?One way was
the “legalization” of homosexuality, followed by homosexual
marriage.Defiling
the moral conduct of people would
turn many away from Bible believing Christianity. Since the
end of the Second
World War, and especially since 1973, the churches have been
deserted by
thousands who used to claim a belief in God, Christ, and Bible
believing
Christianity.Now
thousands have been
suckered into adopting the wicked theory of evolution,
believing themselves to
be only a “higher” form of animal.Sadly, this wicked theory is being taught in the
schools, the colleges,
the universities, and throughout the whole general populatiop.
But everyone, especially true believers, are not
STUPID!Today
there is a “remnant” of true Christian
believers who refuse to renounce their Christian faith.By the grace of God
I am one of that
“remnant.”
So what do these wicked world planners have planned to
rid the world of
us who are true believers?Simple!Make
Bible believing Christianity “illegal,”
and persecute anyone who resists.A rev
ivaL of the “Dark Ages.”
Folks, as I write such persecution has already begun in
parts of the
world.Christian
pastors in some
countries, especially in countries with a large Muslim
population, have been kidnapped
and klilled for refusing to renounce
Christ.Christian
church buildings are
being burned.Christian believers
are beingbeaten,
imprisoned, tortured, raped, and
killed.Such is
going on right now in
some third world countries, and even some high tech industrial
nations, which
supposedly grant “freedom of worship” to their citizens.
Oh yes!It
has already arrived in
CANADA, our next door neighbor.Now how
long do our readers think it will be before such persecution
of true Bible
believing Christians comes to America?
In a sense of the word, it already has!Right along with every other public building, when the
so-called
“pandemic” was announced, the churches of America were ordered
to close their
doors.Most did!A few refused to
close and stop holding
services.Needless
to say, those pastors
who refused to close their churches, were given citations,
some were arrested
and fined, and some were just harrassed by rioters.So American
Christian believers are not
exempt from the Satanic persecution that is coming, and I mean
BIG TIME AND
REAL SOON.Now
how much do our readers
really “love the Lord?”
THE
BRIGHT LIGHT FOR BELIEEVERS
Any true believer knows, or ought to know, about the
bitter persecution,
suffering, and death, the Lord’s churches and people had to
endure during the
“Dark Ages.” But
after those “dark
ages” ended, the Lord Jesus Himself promised His church and
people,
“But unto you I
say, and unto the
rest in Thyatira,as many as have not this doctrine, and
which have not known
the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you
none other burden,”
Revelation 2:24.
Dear readers, what
happened to the Lord’s churches and
people during the “Dark Ages” will never happen again.Why not?Because our Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His
church and
believing people out of this present evil world, Galatians
1:4.The Lord
Jesus is coming to RESCUE His church
and people out of imminent danger.The
world situation is in such a state of wickedness and evil,
that the Lorrd’s
coming to deliver us, may (will) take place at any minute of
any day now.Rather
than living in fear, spend your time
studying the Word, witnessing, and praying.I most certainly do believe the Lord Jesus is coming
for His church
bride and people on or near Pentecost (or before) THIS YEAR,
and I have no
shame in saying so.Look
up!Our
redemption is drawing nigh, Luke 21:28.Meet me at the
Lord’s table in glory, Matthew
26:26-29
