NORMAL ISN'T COMING BACK JESUS IS!

NORMAL ISN’T COMING BACK…JESUS IS!

The Bible is fulfilling itself. What a time to be alive! It predicts perilous times (2 Timothy 3); a Romans 1 society, characterized by depravity. Evil and violence abound together and will only escalate. The Lord is not silent during these last days. The first significant indicator of the last days occurred on May 18, 1948 when Israel became a nation in fulfillment of Isaiah 66:8!
Fast forward to 2021 and we see the world government of the coming tribulation waiting to take over before our eyes along with the technology necessary for the antichrist to enforce the “Mark of the Beast” under the penalty of death! Lawlessness abounds along with the violence of our day, coupled with the multitude of signs, repeatedly warn us of the approaching devastation and death of the coming day of the Lord.
The “birth pangs” will continue to intensify and accelerate as we are seeing floods, fires, droughts, and hurricanes engulf the world. Creation is groaning! The the Bible says these things must happen.
Comparing the state and actions of today’s world to Matthew 24, Luke 21, Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 3; you might find all of them corresponding. In fact, every evil trait and attitude that is listed there, is the climate that is present right now. Some have reached new levels of evil that we never thought we’d see in our lifetime.
LOOKING AT THE OVERLAPPING DISPENSATIONS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS SHOWS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE AS THE CHURCH AGE CLOSES.
We are right now living in the overlap period of the closing of the Church Age that will shortly usher in the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble. This type of talk puzzles Christians who were not raised in Churches where rightly dividing was taught, but I assure you it is Pauline doctrine for our dispensation.
Understanding how things were at the dawn of the Church Age will greatly assist us here and now at the closing of our age, and better equip us to understand the true nature and import of events unfolding all around us in these chaotic times.
Just like traffic signal lights overlap from red to orange to green and signal (pun intented) to us what to expect next, so also the current elements that make up the fast closing church age, the current dispensation that we are in indicate to us that the foreshadowing of the tribulation signs that will find their ultimate fullfillment and manifestation in the 7 year tribualtion are so visible and evident now.
Allow me if you will to elaborate.
God is warning because He always warns before He judges and the world is facing judgment. It is being judged now but far worse is coming during the Tribulation. This is just a warm-up!
People today are walking in fear because of a so-called COVID engineered pandemic, and the world leaders have the masses dancing to their tune. Satan and his followers are rapidly gaining ground as evil is increasing everywhere. Nations are at odds with each other, and there could very well be some major conflicts soon. Weather patterns are changing to be more severe, and various places are either suffering from drought or severe flooding. In some places, record high temperatures have been noted.
God is allowing some pre-tribulation birth pains on the entire world but what we see happening today is minor compared to what is coming. The Church will be absent during that Tribulation time, so in the meantime, may we have a greater burden to save people from the wrath to come. The consequences for a world that rejects Jesus Christ are unthinkable.
Lastly, I believe there is chaos on earth because Satan knows his time is short and he has ramped up his activity. He is getting new recruits for his kingdom. This is all the more reason we must be salt and light in these final days.
With God marginalized and mocked, society today mirror the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah!
If people would only seek the word of the Father, they could be assured that all the current events were prophesied to happen. His children – all who have called on Jesus to be their Savior – should be rejoicing! Why would I possibly suggest we should celebrate such events as being good?
This already broken, chaotic and fractured world will completely crumble and collapse under the weight of the tribulation period. Only Christ’s return at the Rapture and then His Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation to establish a perfect Kingdom will fix it!
The closing days of the Church Age are a challenge for all mankind. For the Godless, these days cannot make sense. For those who know the Bible, it has the road map ahead all spelled out for us!
The great 24th chapter of the gospel of Matthew is the definitive section in the Bible that tells us what will be happening on this Earth during the time of Jacob’s trouble in the days after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place. Jesus says that that time period will be as it was in the ‘days of Noah.’ I see all the fearful masses lining up to be jabbed in the arm with untested pharmakeia injected into them because people in white coats told them it was the best thing to do and never to be questioned. There is a more sinister agenda at play. It is evil beyond evil and it goes hand in hand with all the mocking, scoffing and flat out ignoring the warnings just as in “The Days of Noah”. 
Matthew 24:37-39
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage….
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM!
The spirit of Antichrist is indeed surging! It’s most revealed through the globalist mantra that anyone who is in denial about climate change is, in effect, an apostate within their worldview.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” (1 John 4:3)
There has been an unrelenting push in “Prophetic Contractions” ever so increasing by the minute in frequency and intensity! The phrase ‘THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM’ comes to my mind! I believe that we are right now live in that relative calm before a great storm sweeps across the planet! God’s judgment on the Christ-rejecting world is ever so very close at hand! We are at a tipping point. Just look around you and connect the prophectic dots!
In 2020, the coronavirus was the catalyst needed to enact the great reset plan that had been bubbling under the surface for years, and immunity passports are just another step in the overall plan to track and trace every citizen through their digital identity. The thinking is that once the pandemic is “over”, the crisis will be over and everything will go back to normal. But, as the globalists have been telling us since the outbreak began, the world “will never go back to normal again”. It’s not because of the pandemic, mind you, it’s because THEY won’t allow things to go back to normal! The “great reset”, as the World Economic Forum calls it is their agenda behind the virus!
We see evidences of a world set to explode everywhere we look.
THE BIBLE PREDICTS THE DESTRUCTION OF DAMASCUS!               
It’s easy to imagine how civil strife in America or the economic disaster could become a flashing green light for Russia and Iran to invade Israel per the prophecy in Ezekiel 38-39!
Concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on July 11, 2021, i24NEWS reported that Israel’s leaders believe negotiations between Iran and the U.S. over Iran’s nuclear program may break down, and the Israeli military has requested funding equivalent to billions of dollars in the Israeli military budget to prepare for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities (Ezek. 38-39). An Israeli attack on Iran would not be the Battle of Gog and Magog, but it could easily trigger the Battle of Gog and Magog!
Damascus, Syria, is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.
According to Bible prophecy, however, it is destined to become “a ruinous heap,” deserted, and uninhabitable (Isaiah 17). Could the chemical weapons stored in and under Damascus render it desolate?
Damascus’s destruction most likely will be a catalyst to the Ezekiel 38-39 war in-which Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others come together from the north to attack the Jewish state.
A first strike attack by Israel against Iran’s nuclear program would certainly lead to a military response by Iran.  Such an attack would provide Russia, Turkey and others the excuse they need to launch an invasion of Israel.
With Israel attacking first, it would be hard for other nations to justify defending her – which is why Ezekiel also suggests that other nations will protest the invasion but do nothing about it. Did Joe Biden’s decision regarding Afghanistan just set a precedent for this?
However, it is through this battle that God shows Himself the protector of Israel and wipes out the invading armies.  Much of the after battle descriptions detailed in Ezekiel sounds like the result of nuclear fallout and one has to wonder if Israel uses tactical nukes in defending itself. It would be the only way practically speaking they could defend themselves against such a coalition of nations.  How God will supernaturally intervene remains to be seen.
Israel has put the world on notice.  They will not let Iran get the bomb.  They are making operational plans to take out their nuclear program and even openly budgeting for it.  Will this be the trigger for accelerating God’s prophetic timetable? 
Considering recent events, the stage is set for the fulfillment of this prophecy, along with Ezekiel 38, 39. Ezekiel’s prophecy describes an invasion on Israel by a coalition of countries, specifically Russia, Iran, and Turkey — from Syria! But God intervenes miraculously on Israel’s behalf. “Then all the world will know that I am God.”
I have always wondered as to how Russia would be given full control in Syria. Syria has become a hotbed of activity! Well now with America withdrawing their troops from the middleeast, its all set up for Russia to call the shots in Syria! With Hezbollah and Iran leaders killed in the recent strike and Russia to arm Syria against Israeli strikes…the inevitable is at the door….Isaiah 17!
The stage is being set for a war between Israel and Iran. The clock has been ticking for a long time, and now Israel is telling us that Iran is “only around 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon”.  The Israelis have always been very clear about the fact that they will never, ever allow the Iranians to get to that point, and so that would appear to leave only 10 weeks remaining of what appears to be the final countdown to a war!
A major war in the Middle East could easily spark a full-blown global war.  U.S. relations with both Russia and China continue to deteriorate very rapidly, and the Biden administration is being very aggressive with both of them!
About 25 percent of the Bible is prophetic, serving as a warning. The predicted judgments preceding Christ’s second coming are nearer than we think. “I am God. There is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning….” The world is not falling apart — it’s falling into place. Scriptures describe horrific events coming on earth like nothing man has ever seen or experienced.
JERUSALEM : A CUP OF TREMBLING! 
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about… And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”- Zechariah 12:2-3
Is it any surprise to see the nations of the world in an uproar over Jerusalem? It is a city that lay essentially in ruin for two millennia, unworthy of international attention, and making little noise or news. Now the nations of the world, including the United Nations, regularly debate the fate of this city, while the Muslim nations even threaten warfare of their Jihad.
Today rather than a backwater town of poverty and desolation as described by Mark Twain on his visit here in 1867, Jerusalem has become a vibrant and modern city at the hand of the Jewish people since its capture in 1967.
The holy places of the three major religions have now found honor and preservation and freedom under their custodianship, and archaeological discoveries are lovingly uncovered nearly daily testifying to Jewish history and presence, and preserved in the exquisite Israel Museum.
Former president Trump of the United States declared America’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which has ignited a firestorm of objection around the world, from Rome to Mecca to Tehran.
Never mind that nothing whatsoever has changed from the day before the declaration, and the Israeli parliament and supreme court and administrative buildings remain where they have been since the state’s founding in 1948, the declaration has stirred the already simmering and irrational pot. Even Christians of the Middle East have condemned the statement that the Jews may have any right to Jerusalem, including Christians in the town of Bethlehem where Jesus the Jew was born.
The Prophets of the Bible have previsioned such a state of affairs. This same city from which came forth the Torah, and in which the Messiah was crucified and rose in resurrection, and his disciples brought that word to the world, is mentioned countless times in the Scriptures as sacred to God, both in the past, present, and future. Jerusalem is never once mentioned in the Quran, written many centuries after the life of Yeshua, and millennia after Moses. Jerusalem is called the city and capital of David the Jew, going back to the 10th Century BC, and remains at the center of the biblical accounts throughout, right to the final book of Revelation.
After two destructions by foreign invaders, and two exiles from the Holy City, the Jewish people have once again returned to the city of their origins to restore its fortunes, just as written in the Prophet Joel, chapter 3:
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.”
There is little doubt that the parting of the Holy Land is central to all nations in their political programs to solve the longstanding great controversy. But the prophets Joel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Micah and others foresee a day of reckoning over Jerusalem, when the preserved of Israel will be made into a sharp threshing instrument, and they will look upon him whose feet shall stand once again upon the Mount of Olives, which is in Jerusalem.
THE 3rd TEMPLE IS READY TO GO!
As Jan Markel beautifully put it, Israel is God’s prophectic timepiece with Jerusalem as the minute hand and the Temple mount as the small hand! The Temple Institute, the reestablished Sanhedrin and other Temple related organizations are preparing for all the required needs of an operational Third Temple. Architectural drawings exist and Levitical Priests are assigned and trained, including the required High Priest. Moreover, the Temple vessels and vestments are prepared, including the menorah, the table of showbread and the golden altar of incense, a Red Heifer that is viable for fulfilling the ordnance of purification for the Jewish Temple are signs pointing to how the Covenant of Daniel’s Prophecy is nearing! There is a growing excitement in the Middle East right now, thanks to the Abraham Accords, for a rebuilt Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount.
What is about to unfold will set in motion arrival of Antichrist and Armageddon, followed by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ involving a global push to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem. It’s happening right now behind the scenes in clandestine negotiations between global powers and religious leaders. These astonishing claims, regardless how incredible they may seem, will be unveiled sooner than most expect.
IT’S NOT GLOBAL WARMING, IT’S GLOBAL WARNING!                 
Sister Jan Markel on climate change “The Globalists are pushing their climate change agenda. Oh they want climate change, they’ll soon have it, wait till the tribulation hits!” Is our climate changing drastically, yes, it surely is, and it is doing it at the command of Jesus Christ. The changes are taking place in preparation of the coming judgment on the whole world that will take place in the time of Jacob’s trouble. What can mankind do to stop it? Nothing. Zero. Zilch, but there is something you can do to prepare for it. Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines is now boarding, no seats needed because on this flight, you’re the plane. 
Creation is groaning! Our planet is going through extreme and severe changes that are unlike anything we have ever seen before, and global weather patterns are going completely insane as a result. In the winter of 2020, record cold temperatures were being shattered all over the globe and we were witnessing snowfall totals that were absolutely crazy in many areas. Now in 2021 summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere and extreme weather events are making headlines every single day. We have witnessed apocalyptic flooding in western Europe and China, a massive fire in Oregon has burned an area larger than the entire city of Los Angeles, and Brazil has announced to the world that it will have crop losses that are “historic” in nature. All throughout history there have been natural disasters, but these days we are faced with an endless series of droughts, floods, heat waves, mudslides, wildfires and crop failures. An intense deluge over a period of two days caused unprecedented flooding in much of the nation, and Angela Merkel found it difficult to find words to describe the utter devastation that she personally witnessed
In fact, one Greek politician used the term “biblical catastrophe” to describe the level of destruction in one particular municipality
Only Brazil exports more corn than the United States does, and so Brazilian production is one of the keys that enables us to feed everyone on the planet.
Unfortunately, this year we are being told that the crop losses in Brazil are going to be “historic”
Here in the United States, the western third of the nation is in the midst of a multi-year “megadrought” that is the worst that we have ever experienced.
Last year, approximately 20 percent of the West was considered to be experiencing “severe drought”, but this year that number is up to 80 percent
At the same time, there were also massive protests in the heart of Paris
On the other side of the globe, we continue to see violent protests in Sydney and other major Australian cities
Just 10 days after record flooding killed 37 people in western Europe, Belgium was hit by a flood that was so powerful that it literally picked up vehicles and carried them along like little toys
Last week, more than a million people were forced from their homes by flooding in China that was so extreme that it is only supposed to happen one time in a thousand years
Thousands upon thousands of birds are suddenly dropping dead in the eastern half of the United States, and authorities still don’t understand why this is happening…
CBS News Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli explained that there was only a “1/10,000+ chance” that a heatwave of this magnitude could happen in the region, and it ended up killing at least a billion sea creatures
National Weather Service is telling us that some of the grasshopper swarms are so massive that they are actually showing up on radar
Famine is now erupting in parts of Africa, and things are particularly bad on the island of Madagascar
The Bootleg Fire in Oregon has already burned an area that is larger than the entire city of Los Angeles… It was being reported that the Bootleg Fire was so large that it could be seen from space. this is just the beginning.  Global weather patterns are only going to become even more extreme, and we are going to witness unimaginable natural disasters that will be of unprecedented size and scope. The earth is in trivail! 
A WORLD IN CRISIS : CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA LOCKDOWNS ARE NEXT!                    The Pope is a passionate believer in the Great Reset and said in a recent interview, “We need change”. The pope of climate change has announced a global climate crisis…a pathway to the NEW WORLD ORDER! Greta Thunberg has a machine behind her-a globalist climate alarmist machine!The Climate change agenda lockdowns are next! The globalists could use this agenda to execute Cyber Polygon stating that because of extreme usage of the power grids across the globe its causing extreme damage to ‘Mother Earth’ and vola there goes out the lights! So this watchman on the wall fully recognizes that something of last-days significance is taking place almost daily. They are indeed phenomenal weather events, and they are in unprecedented, multiple numbers—occurring almost simultaneously in most every part of the planet.
The way I and others who are likewise watchmen differ from the leftists who claim there is climate change is they see it as man-made, while it is clear as day we see it as God-induced. They are making a globalists-elite-engendered, Mother Earth worship system to do exactly that, they think.
It is a foreboding weather storm warning from on high. The tsunami that’s coming is the Tribulation. The Lord, we sense, is warning of things to come by way of His judgment and wrath.
Prime Minister of Israel Naftali Bennet “The world is currently in the eye of the storm of the Delta pandemic and the entire world is turning red. Even the Olympics, for the first time in history, are being held without spectators.”
DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS: THE SNARE THAT WILL LURE MANY INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!                                              The digital trap has already been set and globalist elites are using COVID to speed up the process of convergence. Most people will sleep-walk right into the trap, which will ultimately reduce them to a human QR code – trackable, traceable, and 100 percent dependent on Big Tech and big government for their existence.
We are witnessing an epic global struggle for freedom and the outcome of that struggle is going to greatly shape what our world is going to look like in the years ahead.  Ultimately, one of the most fundamental rights that we have is the right to make our own health decisions. If someone else has the authority to make those decisions for you, then you aren’t really free.
This pandemic has transformed the debate over health freedom into the most hotly contested political issue on the entire planet and the intensity seems to have been turned up a few more notches in recent days.
As governments around the world have begun instituting new lockdowns, new mandates and new “health passports”, we have seen huge eruptions of anger all over the world.
For example, over the weekend there was an enormous health freedom protest in London
At the same time, there were also massive protests in the heart of Paris
On the other side of the globe, we continue to see violent protests in Sydney and other major Australian cities
“THE VACCINE WAS NOT CREATED FOR THE PANDEMIC, IT’S THE OTHER WAY AROUND, THE PANDEMIC WAS CREATED FOR THE VACCINE”
Some people may be confused by the obvious lockstep that most nations are moving in as far as covid mandates and restrictions are concerned. How is it possible that almost all the governments on the planet are in agreement on medical totalitarianism? Well, it’s rather easy to understand when you realize the majority of them are linked together through globalists institutions like the World Economic Forum, which has repeatedly called the pandemic a “perfect opportunity” to push through theirplans for a “Great Reset” which is their end game!
The “Great Reset” is a long term ideological usurpation of what’s left of individual freedom and free market economies, and its goal is the imposition of a global socialist/communist dictatorship.
Globalists wrap these objectives in pretty sounding words and humanitarian sounding aspirations, but at bottom the “Reset” is about an end to liberty as we know it. 
TRANSHUMANISM, TRACEABILITY AND THE GREAT RESET AGENDA : HOW TO TRACK AND TRACE EVERY PERSON, PURCHASE AND PROTEIN ON THE PLANET AND MANIPULATE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR!            The technological framework is laid to track and trace every person, purchase, and protein on the planet with the potential applications of invasive technologies championed by the World Economic Forum’s great reset agenda. 
In today’s digital world, almost every citizen is aware that their online activity is being monitored, but not everyone knows the full extent, nor are they fully conscious of how track and trace surveillance can manipulate their behavior.
The Preamble: Tracking and tracing can be complementary to transhumanism by way of biometric sensors that can be implanted in the human body, and/or via synthetic, biological alterations to farm and lab-grown food that people eat
The People: Tracking and tracing people in real-time via smart devices, wearables, and implants (Internet of Bodies [IoB]) can allow intimate health, geolocational, and behavioral data to flow between public and private entities, which can grant access to, or restrict a person’s ability to use essential goods and services
The Purchases: All financial transactions can be tracked and traced digitally (Central Bank Digital Currencies, Distributed Ledger Technology), and the power to purchase/access essential goods and services can be altered for any individual at the flick of a virtual switch
The Protein: Food grown in farms or labs (Traditional and Alternative Proteins) can be tracked and traced along the supply chain where every ingredient that a citizen consumes can be monitored and accounted for, while biological alterations to the food source itself may have the potential to change gene function on the opposite end of the pipeline 
The Possibilities: The ability to fundamentally alter what it means to be human can be achieved through biological and/or technological means. All data (anonymized, compartmentalized, or otherwise) can be consolidated into a digital identity that is unique to each individual, which can give public and private entities unfettered access and insights into the mind, body, and spirit of every person on the planet, who can then be manipulated, coerced, or incentivized into changing their behavior.
Looking back at Schwab’s passages in “The Fourth Industrial Revolution”:
Any package, pallet or container can now be equipped with a sensor, transmitter or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that allows a company to track where it is as it moves through the supply chain—how it is performing, how it is being used, and so on.”
“In the near future, similar monitoring systems will also be applied to the movement and tracking of people,” he added.
Tracking and tracing every protein on the planet has the potential to manipulate human behavior by controlling and monitoring every ingredient we eat.
There is also the overlapping potential to genetically modify any living species for the purpose of allowing it to consume a more economical diet, as referenced by Schwab himself. 
CYBER POLYGON 2021 SHOWS THE NEXT PHASE OF THE GREAT RESET!                            In October 2019 the World Economic Forum brought together the world’s powers and leading health experts and simulated a global pandemic called event 201 of an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. Then, coincidentally COVID-19 happened a couple of months later that mimicked much of what happened during that exercise. The Event 201  ‘exercise’ mirrored the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 the World Economic Forum conducted a simulation called “Cyber Polygon 2020” that predicted a coming global catastrophe caused by a worldwide “cyber pandemic.” On July 9, 2021, the World Economic Forum held an online Cyber Polygon, or summit of some 57 nations and cyber experts, as well as countless international corporations, banks, etc. to prepare for what they say will be the next global pandemic, a cyber pandemic. To quote the WEF:
A similar summit happened last year in 2020 as well, and now suddenly in 2021 we have seen a spate of high level high profile cyber attacks that have gotten more news attention than any other cyber attacks before due to their large scale and impact on society at large. These coincidences coupled with the overt plan of the WEF’s Great Reset which you can read more about here fits right in with the roll out of digital currencies, social credit scores, and the complete digitisation of our world. All of these things lead to greater control of people at every level of society. The WEF has warned, “As the world is more interconnected and global digitisation accelerates, a single vulnerable link is enough to bring down the entire system”. Based on that quote, what has happened in recent months is just a foretaste of what is to come. The cherry on top and perhaps another “coincidence” is the annual summit of the world’s billionaires, media moguls, tech companies, etc. in Sun Valley, California at the same time of the Cyber Polygon with a particular emphasis on cyber security and global warming.
If the power grid was hacked and shut down for an extended period of time we have to think of the wide-ranging implications. Everything digital would no longer work. That means you will not be able to use your credit of debit card, gas pumps will not work, no cash registers, freezers thaw out and meat goes bad, no heat for cooling or heating your house, natural gas would soon run out, toilets and plumbing stop working, water stops running, garbage is not collected, Grocery stores don’t get re-stocked because all logistics are done by computer and transactions for stores to purchase food can no longer be done, and the list goes on. It would be everyone for themselves until eventually most people would have to rely on the government for all of their essentials because most people are not able to provide the basic necessities of food, water, and shelter without the digital world and electricity.
This is the kind of attack the World Economic Forum is predicting, and would give the powers that be complete control over the people. If the government has the food, water, shelter, and guns to protect it, and 95% of the people do not have the means to be self-sufficient, the facade of freedom suddenly disappears. The powers-that-be have been telegraphing their moves for years, perhaps decades, and too few have taken notice. If “Event 201” was the planning and precursor for Covid-19, then “Cyber Polygon” is the planning and precursor for a massive cyberattack that will not only affect the grid and other pieces of critical infrastructure, but will likely attack the monetary system to usher in a one-world digital currency.
The global elitists are going to test what a massive cyberattack that takes down infrastructure and the power grid worldwide would look like.
For those who think this is not a big deal, please remember event 201, which was a simulation of a coronavirus pandemic in which the media was used to constantly push the fear manipulating the public into obedient compliance with any amount of ridiculous commands.  What will cyber polygon bring? Nothing good since it a part of the World Economic Forum’s agenda for totalitarian global domination. So what if the rulers do turn off the power? What if in order to get it back, your compliance will be mandatory vaccinations? What about your slave wages? Those will be contingent and without a doubt, traced, tracked, and surveilled. We know that’s a goal.  
THE GREAT RESET!                                              In a recent prophecy roundtable Jan Markell said, “The Great Reset is the great tribulation.” I could’nt agree more with her!

Here is what our sister in Christ, Jan Markel had to say in her article…
“It would be so blatantly obvious that we are in the absolute last of the last days, in fact the LAST HOUR! The stage is clearly being set for the tribulation, yet most people are clueless because Bible prophecy has been deemed irrelevant and inconvenient. The world is being prepared for a domonic saviour, yet the masses are not only clueless but they will run pell-mell into his arms! He will promise to restore order out of this choas! He is waiting in the wings! His title is the Antichrist! You never thought that you would live to see this day, did you? We’re are not just end time kooks wandering down Main Street warning about a zombie apocalyse. We’re warning that the Bible predicted some things that would set the stage for the final moments of history as we know it! The church would be removed before the curtain would go up and that final dramatic scene would be played out! There isn’t a storm coming the storm is here!! The globalists will seize this opportunity to install what they think is their perfect form of government and that is a one world system but they have a major obstacle…the Church is still here!”
Prophecy shows us the roadmap of the tribulation and the tribulation is casting its shadow right here right now, that roadmap includes the unleashing of Satan for seven years. The Bible is our infallible evidence that at some point in what clearly appears to be the very near future, the world will be flipped upsidedown by the catastrophe of the Tribulation which will include the coming of the Antichrist, a one-world government, a one-world religion, a one-world currency, plagues, famines, the mark of the beast, death and destruction. The ultimate domino or trigger that flips the switch will be the Rapture that occurs before the start of the 7 year tribulation! The tribulation is headed full speed like a train speeding away on the tracks, there’s nothing that can stop it and when it does begin, our world will be transformed into something totally unrecognizable compared to what we see today. You think COVID-19 has already made our world unrecognizable? Compared to what’s coming, let me suggest that we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!  
Everything you have been watching happen for little over a year are different arms of the same beast and The Beast who is well on his way right now, will be the crown jewel in the ungodly crown of evil.
COVID, lockdowns, vaccines, vaccination passports and everything else are the tools by which this new order is being fashioned!
Pastor JD Farag Covid-19 is a controlled demolition of the global economies by design all set up for the great reset! Its deliberate!
There is no greater gateway to the apocalyptic “Beast,” or antichrist, than the entirety of the worldwide COVID-19 response. Nations were locked down. Food supplies were disrupted. Businesses, schools, and churches were forced to close. Healthy people were quarantined. Travel was confined. These restrictions came within months of the spread of the virus. And they were just the beginning!
Just as Jan Markell explained in her article “Top Ten Bible Prophecy Stories of 2020,” the world longs for a savior in the midst of meltdown.
“With the world in a meltdown mode, millions are looking for just one superhuman man to bring back peace and prosperity,” Jan wrote. “He is waiting in the wings! Most have rejected Jesus Christ. They will cheer for a short season for the antichrist”.
UFOs TO EXPLAIN AWAY THE RAPTURE!
The Bible teaches about the Rapture. Soon there will be an event that will occur around the globe where millions of people from all across the planet instantaneously disappear, and they’ll specifically only be Christians. You just can’t spin that baby. You can’t hide that event. So, you better come up with some good excuse.
Public interest in UFOs has started to spike, recently encouraged by a Fox News interview with Trump’s former intelligence director John Ratcliffe, who stated: 
“Frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public. Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that, frankly, engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”
Public interest in UFOs and alien abduction spiked during April 2020, as the Pentagon confirmed the authenticity of three videos showing unidentified aerial phenomenon, shot by Air Force pilots who were, judging from the recordings, extremely excited by the sight of a mysterious presence in the sky. 
Alien invasion and abduction has also become a popular meme, as social media users have jokingly proposed that an alien invasion would be the only way to top the ever-escalating insanity and surreal news headlines of the last few years.
In January 2021, thousands of CIA documents on unidentified flying objects were released, in a massive document dump that the agency claims includes all their records on UFOs.
And, of course, the launching of the “Space Force,” an idea so silly that Netflix created a mediocre comedy series based on the concept, only fueled more speculation. 
On Fox News, when asked where the unidentified phenomena were sighted, Ratcliffe replied:
“… all over the world, there have been sightings all over the world. Multiple sensors that are picking up these things. They’re unexplained phenomenon, and there’s actually quite a few more than have been made public.”
Ratcliffe is correct – but looking at Esri’s animated map, which visualizes the data from a century of reported UFO sightings, it is clear that the vast, vast majority of alleged encounters with extraterrestrials have occurred in the United States. 
In June, the Pentagon released stunning information of UFOs and aliens, but those of us who believe the bible will know the true identity of these beings, the fallen angels from Genesis 6. Since the beginning, instances of demons (fallen angels) visiting the earth have been witnessed and recorded. We know from Eve’s encounter with Satan that demons are interested in monitoring (and altering) the progress of humanity. They want to be involved, with the goal of drawing humanity away from the worship of God and turning mankind’s attention instead to them. Another notable instance of their interaction with us is found in Genesis 6:4 with the arrival of the “sons of God.” The Genesis account states that these powerful beings had sexual intercourse with women and produced a super race of beings known as the Nephilim.
And so begins the deception of explaining what has happened when millions of people are suddenly caught up in the rapture. It will be a well prepared narrative. Why? Because as we know the enemy has been preparing the reasons that will be given by distorting this event. One of the reasons why we are seeing such mass acceptance of UFOs and space aliens at the highest level of world government is because the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church is right now ‘on deck’ and awaiting liftoff!

Think about how slowly and methodically the Enemy has been preparing their lie to explain away the Rapture. It started with Evolution back in the 1850s, and Hollywood has perpetuated it today. All somebody has to do right after the Rapture is stand upon the world scene, maybe somebody even like the Pope, and try to reassure people. He may say, “Hey, people! I just want you to know. You were right all along. The government has been hiding this truth from you. UFOs and aliens are real. See, that’s why all of these people have disappeared. It was aliens. They beamed all of those Christians up to their ships.”How crazy! How amazing! How wonderful!” Nope! You just found yourself left behind in the seven-year Tribulation. It wasn’t UFOs that sucked those people up. That was Jesus Christ coming back to collect His Church!
HAVE WE REACHED A BOILING POINT?
Todd Hampson “Enter 2020. The events of 2020 including the Covid-19 man-made (excuse me, I mean “gain-of-function”) virus was released—as was lawlessness, violence, deception, deep political corruption, and other moral evils on a broader scale than we had ever seen or been made aware of. And this time, these signs were happening globally! It was as if we entered a “medium-boil” phase. Whereas those of us paying attention to signs that lined up with end-time conditions used to be able to identify just about every significant prophetic stage-setting event fairly easily, now I literally cannot keep up!
I liken it to battlefield tactics. As long as it is possible, a soldier on the field carefully notes each detail that will help him understand the coming battle. The more intel the better. But once the battle begins to get thick, the soldier’s attention has to turn to more pressing matters. The soldier must decide on what is priority in order to complete the mission. This necessarily means the soldier must decide what to focus on, even though he knows there are more key details he could assess at any given moment. The pot is beginning to boil and I can’t keep track of all of the bubbles! 
Here are a few noteworthy details that have come to light the past few weeks that I have looked into on a cursory level, but haven’t had time to research fully.
The recent list includes: record-breaking wildfires, heat waves, flooding, mass animal deaths, droughts, famine, and major riots (in South Africa and Cuba to name two). Meanwhile inflation is occurring, the workforce in America can’t keep up with the demand because people are being paid to stay home. People who have been fully vaccinated are still being infected with the Cover-19 virus. A video shows a school function where a woman is saying those opposed to critical race theory should die—and the crowd applauses. The San Fransisco Gay Men’s Choir put out a creepy music video informing anyone who believes in traditional marriage that they are “coming for your children.” A Brazilian taboo artist turns himself into a demonic looking ORC (from the Lord of the Rings Series) by tattooing his eye balls, removing his nose and implanting horns. More shows celebrating witchcraft and the occult are launching in the fall. So many in the world are ready to welcome and embrace all things demonic and evil.
But wait, there’s more…A company in Ireland is looking to fund the creation of a colossal moving, speaking statue known as “The Giant” in 21 cities by the end of the year.
There have been 321 mass shootings already in 2021 leaving 352 people dead and 1,331 injured. The “vaccines” have caused the death of thousands (according to official/verifiable records) and various whistleblowers are claiming these numbers are much lower than the reality. Russia and China are flexing their military muscles regularly. Iran is close to having nuclear weapon capability at the same time Israel is facing major internal challenges. Macron (surely having consulted with other European leaders who will follow suit) announced a “vaccine pass” to be implemented in order to take part in normal activities. On top of all of this, apostasy in the church is growing steadily through “wokeness,” teachings by people claiming to be apostles (which is a Scriptural impossibility since they did not witness the events of Christ’s ministry in the first century [See Acts 1:21-22, and Ephesians 2:20]), and other mind-bending heresies that gut the truth of Scripture and the fundamentals of the true Christian faith.
I could go on and on. This is just the tip of the iceberg! Ten years ago globalism was a conspiracy theory, the conditions needed for the Ezekiel 38 war seemed impossible, technology had not yet reached the mark-of-the-beast level, and America was sick but still fighting. In 2021 all of that has changed. We are trending toward a rapid boil and could be there at any moment. Liquids boil at different temperatures depending on the molecular structure of the liquid and the amount of air pressure (due to altitude) that is pressing down on the liquid. The air pressure restrains the boil until such a time when the pressure of the boil is greater than the air pressure restraining it.
The Lord could cause the heat to be turned down and the water could cool a bit, but it doesn’t seem that is the case and I don’t read anything like that in Scripture. Jesus said he would come quickly (Greek word tacos, which means rapidly/when things are revved up), and end-time birth pains (whether Braxton Hicks or the real thing) won’t stop once they have begun. We are heading full speed into everything the Bible prophesies about the future tribulation period— and our generation is seeing it all unfold!
By the way, if you are taking note of end-time signs and conditions you are in good company. The Old Testament prophets and even the angels have longed to understand the timeframe we are currently in. In 1 Peter 1:10-12 we read, “Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah (1st coming) and the glories that would follow (2nd coming/Millennial Kingdom). It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things (emphasis mine).”
Notice the key details I highlighted in the verses above. The prophets longed to understand the “time and circumstances” related to the 1st and 2nd coming! In the midst of the struggle to live in our day we need to remember how blessed we are to see these things! Thankfully God’s people will be removed (via the rapture) prior to God’s judgment of the world (as has been the clear pattern of his activity in times past and his stated intentions at the end of the age), but that doesn’t mean we won’t live in dangerous times prior to the rapture. In fact, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us as much. We are not left uninformed.
My friends, it seems the air pressure is about to be lifted and the rapid boil is soon to begin. When the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit indwelled Church is removed via the rapture—the preserving pressure of the salt and light will allow the world to move immediately into a rapid boil. I dare not set dates or even years, but unless the Lord intervenes in a major way (and He could, he’s done it before), it seems to me that we are nearing the time of the rapture.
I know several generations of believers in different eras of church history have thought the same, but never in the history of the world have there been so many signs and conditions in place as they are right now. We have a front row seat to prophecy and end-time conditions.
If you are reading this article and have never accepted the gift of salvation offered and paid for by Jesus Christ—please do so now! Noah seemed crazy until the rain started. But soon, the world was covered by violent water like a massive boiling pot. Please don’t ignore the conditions that are screaming at us that the Lord is real, that time is short, that judgment is coming, and that Jesus paid it all. It doesn’t matter what your past is, or how hard you have run from God. Today is the day of salvation. Jesus paid it all. Please come to him now! You too can have hope, clarity, and joy in the midst of these increasingly disruptive world conditions. He promises to never leave us.”
THE ENDGAME: USE A FINANCIAL COLLAPSE TO FORCE VACCINATION, DIGITAL ID AND A CASHLESS SOCIETY!       The global cabal have their game plan The Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in place and are moving the final chess pieces into place.
The narrative being sold to the public goes like this that the new wave of COVID-19 is crippling the world caused by the Greek-letter delta variant, major disruptions due to natural disasters attributed to climate change, and cyber-attacks targeting key industries are causing worker shortages and the inability for ships and other major transport systems to reach their destinations and putting global supply chains at risk to crash the economy and bring it to its knees.
This engineered “shortage” of workers and goods such as food and computer chips plays right into globalist stooges’ hands. As prices skyrocket, the economy will further deteriorate and panic will rule the day. People desperate for basic necessities will turn to looting and violence which will give governments a new excuse to lockdown and subdue their populations.
The true narrative points to the global elites using these unfolding calamities as the perfect convergence of manufactured “problem-reaction-solution” scenarios. These “created” crises are deliberately put in motion to move the world towards global governance based on the UN (Agenda 2030) Sustainable Development goals, a new financial system, and a China-like surveillance state.
Pandemics, climate change, cyber terror, and manufactured supply shortages are trojan horses used to remove individual rights, destroy nations and governments, and push and condition people into a new technocratic society. 
All of these events allow governments to implement “emergency” measures while consolidating more power. As these scenarios play out, control mechanisms such as biometric surveillance, smart technology, social credit, Universal Basic Income, mandatory vaccination and digital ID/wallet systems are materializing by the minute.
A new article in the Insurance Journal provides details to the changes rapidly taking place as the global supply chain is threatened.
The article states:
Events have conspired to drive global supply chains towards breaking point, threatening the fragile flow of raw materials, parts and consumer goods, according to companies, economists and shipping specialists.
The Delta variant of the coronavirus has devastated parts of Asia and prompted many nations to cut off land access for sailors. That’s left captains unable to rotate weary crews and about 100,000 seafarers stranded at sea beyond their stints in a flashback to 2020 and the height of lockdowns.
Meanwhile, deadly floods in economic giants China and Germany have further ruptured global supply lines that had yet to recover from the first wave of the pandemic, compromising trillions of dollars of economic activity that rely on them. Manufacturing industries are reeling.
Automakers, for example, are again being forced to stop production because of disruptions caused by COVID-19 outbreaks. Toyota Motor Corp said that it had to halt operations at plants in Thailand and Japan because they couldn’t get parts. Buckling supply chains are hitting the United States and China, the world’s economic motors that together account for more 40% of global economic output. This could lead to a slowdown in the global economy, along with rising prices for all manner of goods and raw materials.
Ports across the globe are suffering the kinds of logjams not seen in decades, according to industry players. The China Port and Harbour Association said on Wednesday that freight capacity continued to be tight.
A cyber attack hit South African container ports in Cape Town and Durban, adding further disruptions at the terminals. If all that were not enough, in Britain the official health app has told hundreds of thousands of workers to isolate following contact with someone with COVID-19 — leading to supermarkets warning of a short supply and some petrol stations closing.
Richard Walker, managing director of supermarket group Iceland Foods, turned to Twitter to urge people not to panic buy.
“We need to be able to supply stores, stock shelves and deliver food,” he wrote.
Another recent article from The Conversation details how extensive the shortages are, stating:
It expands to include a whole range of products like lumber and other building materials, tools, foodstuffs, seeds, furniture, cleaning supplies, aluminum cans, jars, pools and pool equipment, chemicals, bicycles, camping gear, household appliances and replacement parts of all kinds.
In many cases supply chains have been simultaneously squeezed on both ends — supply and demand.
The empty store shelves that dotted the landscape at the beginning of last year’s plandemic is only a taste of what is to come. Manufactured famine would be the perfect way to introduce complete control of the food supply. 
The ultimate goal is to eliminate meat-eating and increase consumption of GMO crops and synthetic food as only a few major corporations would control the entire world’s food supply. This is why Bill Gates is now the largest landowner in the U.S.
Recently, there have already been major “cyber attacks” by mysterious hacker groups on a major U.S. gasoline pipeline (Colonial) and global food supplier (JBS). The power grid failure in Texas this past February created shortages of water, food, and heat for short periods, but caused much devastation and even death. 
In March, a container ship blocked both lanes of the Suez Canal and kept vessels from crossing for an entire week leading to inflated oil prices and long shipping delays. Current drought conditions in the western United States exacerbated by wildfires and extreme high temperatures are ruining vegetation and impacting the water supply.
THE GREAT RESET Also known as: The Fourth Industrial Revolution / Agenda 21 / The New World Order / ‘Build Back Better’! The so-called ‘Great Reset’ is the real agenda behind the COVID ‘plandemic’. This is a plan to create a “New World Order” to serve the interests of the global elite (the 1%) and is being implemented by the UN and World Economic Forum. It closely related to Agenda 21 (the UN’s Agenda for the 21st Century) which it aims to have completed by 2030. This is a plan by the global elite to:
  • deliberately destroy the current global economic system and most small and medium enterprises and replace it with a high-tech, highly automated, digital economy controlled by global corporations. The elite call this the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’.
  • normalise 24-7 surveillance of people through the use of fear to persuade people to surrender their freedoms for the illusion of “safety”.
  • depopulate the planet down from 8 billion to approximately 500 million. The elite regard this depopulation as essential to (a) conserve natural resources and their own lifestyles and (b) to eliminate ‘the burden’ of having to support billions of “economically unproductive” humans that will result from the ‘4th industrial Revolution’.
  • Create a totalitarian world government controlled by the elite and using the United Nations and its agencies as its public face.
These events along with a “cyber pandemic” have all been staged to trigger a worldwide crisis. World Economic Forum frontman and globalist Klaus Schwab has warned of an event to come that could make the coronavirus “pandemic” seem like a small disturbance. 
The World Economic Forum sponsored Cyber Polygon events have been creating simulations of massive cyber-attacks that could completely disrupt finance, global trade, power grids. We know how prophetic Event 201 was and Cyber Polygon is absolutely pointing in the same direction!
Terry James The Apostle Paul describes the generation that will be on the stage of earth’s history during mankind’s final scenes of this dispensation perhaps better than any other human author. We’ve gone over his many characteristics of end-times man in a number of commentaries. But Paul’s prophetic words about perilous times to come—except for the very few times he says are him, not God, speaking—are inspired by the One who is the Word. Jesus is the true Author of the Bible (John 1:1).
So when we read words issued straight from the Lord’s own mouth, they have special significance. No one but God knows the end from the beginning. His Word proves that again and again. So Jesus’ words on things to come are profoundly important to read and heed.
Jesus, when asked by His disciples about the signs of His Second Coming, said:
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:10–11)
The Lord, in other places, described these signs as coming upon the earth in birth-pang-like convulsions. There would be an increase in frequency and intensity of these issues and events. It will be, He indicated, much like a woman when she is having painful contractions in the process of giving birth.
One of the key indicators for us to look at in Christ’s prophecy is the term “nation against nation.”
We’ve pointed out many times that the Greek word for “nation” in this case is ethnos. Jesus was foretelling a time when there would be a tremendous rise in ethnic conflicts. This is one of the key descriptions of our times.
We have to look no further than our own nation, the United States, to determine that we are in ethnic turmoil. And it is contrived turmoil, foisted upon us by globalists who want to move America into a one-world configuration.
The Black Lives Matter and Antifa are proven to be groups organized and funded by the likes of George Soros, a man dedicated to creating a global order.
These organizations have ginned up the ever-intensifying rage of rebellious anarchists within those who harbor racial hatred that has literally brought American cities to ruin societally, culturally, and, most assuredly, economically.
In my view, the so-called COVID pandemic continues to be used by the globalists as a bludgeon against America’s people. The powers and principalities of Ephesians 6:12 are fomenting this nation-against-nation, end-of-the-age conflict.
This brings together the terms in Jesus’ prophecy, “ethnic hatreds and pestilence.” Although COVID and its proliferating strains is a contrived pestilence, it is pestilence nonetheless. It is a precursor to the great, real pandemics that will kill millions during the Tribulation era. What we are seeing now is implementation of a control mechanism that is laying groundwork for the coming Antichrist regime to use.
Jesus stated further: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:25)
Although a case can easily be made for astonishing evidence of things going on in space that have people looking into that dark vastness for answers, it is the second part of this prophecy that is profoundly relevant to this time so near the end of the Age of Grace.
Economic turmoil caused by the worldwide COVID lockdowns has the nations in distress with great and growing perplexity. Great Britain, France, Australia, and other major Western economies are experiencing conditions like those described by the Lord.
America, the nation to whose dollar most all the world is intricately linked, is but one event or occurrence away from total collapse.
Although our government and the mainstream media won’t confess this before the American people or the world that depends on the dollar, that collapse could come at any moment, it is feared by many in the know.
Some perhaps not so much in the know, in terms of economic acumen (yours truly, for example), understand in their spirits that the moment that breaks the proverbial camel’s back is about to occur.
I write, of course, about the Rapture of all believers in Jesus Christ for salvation of their souls.
Jesus’ words are recorded, finally, pointing toward that moment of removal from the Tribulation that will follow that great event.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21: 28)
WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE RAPTURE SERVE IN THE OVERALL PURPOSES OF GOD FOR CREATION? HOW DOES IT FIT INTO THE BIG PICTURE OF GOD’S REDEMPTIVE PLAN?
God’s redemptive plan is to restore what was lost in Adam, to restore the proper functioning of his rule in creation through the vice-regency of a humanity living in proper relation to him (though that entails a lot more than what I’ve said here).
The resurrection of believers is part of that restoration, as Paul teaches in Romans 8:18–23. So, insofar as the rapture and the resurrection are associated, the rapture plays a role in that restoration. However, the Scriptures also teach that before the establishment of the Messianic kingdom at the return of Christ, God will pour his wrath out upon the world opposed to his rule.
The church is promised reprieve from this wrath, and the rapture is the means by which it is protected.
THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL REVEALED
The essential content of Christian preaching, Paul says, is the mystery of the gospel. He writes that the preaching of the Word of God is seen in “the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints” (Col. 1:26). A mystery? 
But if you preach the gospel, you just might discover that it is not quite so popular. But it is powerful and it is mysterious. Why? Because it was a mystery that God hid from previous generations in order that it might be displayed publicly at the time of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Look at Paul’s statement in verses 26–27: “that is, the mystery which has been hidden from past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” As Paul quite personally knew, true preaching often leads to a riot. But the true preaching of the gospel is the preaching of the mystery of God. It was hidden, but now it is revealed to the Gentiles.
When Paul speaks of “mystery” in the book of Colossians, he means something very different (Col. 1:26, 27; 2:2; 4:3). He is not speaking of a puzzle to be solved or of something that is impossible for us to understand. Instead, Paul describes mystery as a truth which was previously hidden but has now been made known by God. In the book of Colossians the mystery Paul has in mind refers to the indwelling of Christ, the believer’s hope of glory.
There is glory, and this glory can even come to us, but it is not ours. There is a glory we should seek, but it is not glory for ourselves, but the glory of Christ. And that glory is most evident not just when Christ is preached as an abstract and objective truth, but when Christ becomes in us the hope of glory. Paul’s concern was not just that his hearers would come to a correct cognitive understanding of the gospel, although that was essential. His concern was that the gospel would be received by faith and that lives would be transformed. Paul’s wonderfully symphonic presentation of the gospel in the book of Romans helps us to understand how sinners become saints, how we are justified by faith, and how we are adopted as sons and daughters of the Most High God.
The gospel is simply the most transformative, the most powerful, and the most explosive message there is.
