Laying Out Revelation Part 2
This is where we run into our very first problem, along with our first blessing. And, as much as we want that blessing, that problem is an unsettling conundrum, which is why most pastors won’t talk very much about the Book of Revelation.
No one wants to get the Book of Revelation wrong.
However, events in our world appear to be accelerating towards something that looks an awful lot like what John the Apostle wrote. So, we don’t have the luxury of ignoring this book.
I’ve run into new questions about Revelation, questions that I don’t ever remember asking in quite this way. That has required some spiritual reflection. I have more questions than answers, but maybe some insights that I haven’t had before. Ultimately, this comes from unlocking Seal Six, which is the key reason why I began changing direction in 2021.
However, since Revelation is the most dangerous book in the Bible (Rev 22:18-19), we need to be extra humble in our approach to seeking insight into what is coming. Mishandling this book will have grave consequences for everyone affected. So, let’s try not to do that.
We have been fighting against the revolution being led by Satan for thousands of years, and it’s almost over. In fact, 2019 might have been the last good year for the rebels. With 2020 seeming to indicate the beginning of the end for our current civilization, now might be a good time to think about the timing of the Last Days.
After all, they are the Last Days of… what?
Human civilization?
Earth?
Humanity?
No, none of that.
The Last Days mark the beginning of the end of Satan’s power, the failure of his great rebellion. Unfortunately, the last gasp of this revolution will be hard on all of us.
God calls all mature Christians to publicly rebuke those elders that commit serious sin (1 Tim. 5:20) within the Body of Christ. If you are a pastor and preach lies, God requires that we answer those lies with the truth. So, I write and speak with this burden on my heart. And, I am forced to proclaim that Chuck Baldwin, is a false teacher and even a false brother.
He lies about our brothers and sisters in Christ.
He preaches abominable heresy.
He slanders the innocent.
Jesus called such Pharisees vipers. I believe that He would call Chuck Baldwin a snake and an example of what you should NOT do, when you learn something new.
What you are about to listen to, in one sense, is something that has been years in the making. For years, I have wondered at how Afghanistan could be the source of 93% of the world’s heroin. I just couldn’t understand how the US Air Force could completely control the airspace of Afghanistan, while thousands of square miles of opium poppies were under cultivation.
We could see those poppy fields from the air, and could have sprayed them with any of the massively potent herbicides at our disposal, but we didn’t.
Why?
We had satellites that monitored everything that went on in Afghanistan – along with everything that went in and out of Afghanistan. There was seemingly no way that so much heroin could actually be leaving such a remote, land-locked country that was under the complete control of the United States military.
