These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings.
-Revelation 17:14
Many who live in this generation have fallen away from the truth and are actively waging a spiritual war with the Lamb of God, Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ). This war is being fought on a cultural, educational, intellectual, judicial, media, political, social, and spiritual level.
We are living in the end times, when evil is called good and good is called evil (Isaiah 5:20). Atheistic Darwinian evolution is called science, and the Genesis account of creation is called a fairy tale. Infanticide murder is called abortion of an unborn fetus (pro-choice), and live babies in the womb do not have rights and can be chopped up and sold for body parts. The traditional husband and wife family unit has been long under assault from feminist propaganda, and homosexuals seek ‘marriage’ with one another.
How quickly the Judeo-Christian countries (America and the Westernized nations) have spiritually fallen!
Scripture records an oft-repeated cycle of Israel believing upon God, then falling into national sin and forgetting their God. This cycle is not limited to national Israel, but all nations that have believed in the God of Scripture.
PSALM 33:12:
Blessed is the nation whose God is YHWH (the Lord).
2 CHRONICLES 7:14:
If My people who are called by My name [‘Christ’–ians] will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Believers should always fight for the cause of righteousness, but need to be prepared and understand that the land where they are living will not necessarily repent of their national evils. It is incumbent for a believer to come out of the wicked ways of this world and be separate (2 Corinthians 6:17).
When two angelic messengers visited Lot’s house in Sodom, they were accosted by the men of the city who sought to (homosexually) rape them. God blinded the evil men of Sodom to protect Lot, his household, and his guests. God’s grace upon the wickedness of Sodom expired and the appointed time of Sodom’s judgment had come. God destroyed Sodom the very next day (Genesis 19).
The institutionalization and widespread acceptance of homosexuality is generally the final national sin tolerated by God before He acts in judgment against a nation. America passed the tipping point when the U.S. Supreme Court declared sodomy-based homosexual marriage a Constitutional right on June 26, 2015.
Judeo-Christian tolerant (of sin) nations often forget the lessons of Scripture. God’s blessings and grace are prophesied to one day expire upon America and the other ‘Christian’ nations that have embraced and institutionalized sin in these end times. God will raise the Gentile nations against His own Christian spiritually wicked rebellious nations (Ezekiel 30:3). America will be destroyed for embracing the national sin of homosexuality in the same manner as Sodom and Gomorrah were (Jeremiah 49:18,50:40).
1 JOHN 2:18:
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
There are many antichrists of this world who speak against the teachings of Messiah (Christ) and Scripture. These would include abortion ‘healthcare’ providers, atheists, business leaders, college professors, co-workers, employers, false prophets, family, friends, judges, legislators, pagan religions, politicians, reporters, scientists, secularists, teachers, and others.
MATTHEW 12:30 / LUKE 11:23:
“He who is not with me is against Me…”
-Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ)
JOHN 14:6:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
-Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ)
Those who claim to be pro-choice Christians, gay Christians, or Christians who support abortion rights and / or gay marriage are not Christians at all. They are not with Christ, but against Him and are thus antichrists. This is true of all people, politicians, judges, presidents, kings, and rulers.
1 JOHN 2:4:
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
THE FEAR OF YHWH (THE LORD) IS:
Clean, enduring forever (Psalm 19:9);
The beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 9:10);
The beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7);
To hate evil (Proverbs 8:13);
Strong confidence (Proverbs 14:26);
A fountain of life (Proverbs 14:27);
The instruction of wisdom (Proverbs 15:33);
And by the fear of YHWH (the Lord) one departs from evil (Proverbs 16:6).
Many people of these end time generations do not fear YHWH (the Lord). Many seek to fulfill sinful pleasures personally and are accepting and tolerant of sin in society. Secular judges and politicians are actively legislating immorality. Few are working out their own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).
YHWH (the Lord) has killed sinners. He has the righteous authority to kill sinners in judgment, and He has exercised that authority (Genesis 38:7,10).
YHWH (the Lord) once wiped out all flesh from the face of the Earth with a global flood, save Noah and those on the ark (Genesis 7:23).
MATTHEW 10:28:
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
-Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ)
A popular slogan is that God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Yet a person is what he or she does and God does not accept or tolerate sin. God hopes that the sinner will repent, as He does not want anyone to perish, but unrepentant sinners will be cast into hell together with their sins.
2 PETER 3:9:
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
ACTS 17:30-31:
Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained.
One day the age of grace will expire at an appointed time.
The following unrepentant sinners will not inherit the kingdom of heaven:
1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10:
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the reign of Elohim (kingdom of God)? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous (greedy of gain), nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the reign of Elohim (kingdom of God).
Yeshua (Jesus) will not arbitrate, nor will He strive with man forever (Genesis 6:3; Isaiah 47:3).
There are many people who question God, His morality, and His wisdom. Many argue they were born a certain way; or if God doesn’t accept me as I am then He is a bigot; or that if God exists then why doesn’t He reveal Himself to me. These arguments come from faithless people who do not fear YHWH (the Lord) and are unwise fools who follow their own morality – having made themselves their own god.
God’s kingdom is not a democracy; it is a kingdom ruled by a Sovereign King. The subject does not tell the King how to run His kingdom, nor does the creature have greater authority, knowledge, morality, understanding, or wisdom than the Creator.
ISAIAH 29:16:
Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be reckoned as the clay? Should what is made say of its Maker, “He did not make me?” And what is formed say of Him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”
PROVERBS 3:5-7:
Trust in YHWH (the Lord) with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear YHWH (the Lord) and depart from evil.
Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) is Judge of judges, King of kings, Lord of lords, Ruler of rulers and Sovereign of sovereigns. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). His judgments, laws, rulings, and statutes are wiser than any supreme court, unrighteous law, or ruling of man.
