The rise of China sends shivers down the spine of many in SE Asia and the USA. Putin wants to restore the Russian Empire to its former glory. That means invading the Ukraine and other nations. Iran continually threatens to destroy Israel. It may be nuclear armed before too long. Kim of North Korea hates to be out of the spotlight. He may do something stupid and dangerous to regain some attention.

COVID has given governments all over the world an excuse to be more and more authoritarian. Locust plagues, drought, war and political instability threaten the relative peace of the world. It's sobering to think that since independence, the USA has had 15 years when it has not been at war with someone. The UK became united in 1707. Since then, they have fought 120 wars. So there is nothing new about armed conflict.

We can live in fear of what is going on, we can even try to reverse the course of the human race (good luck with that!) or we can see things from God's point of view. Psalm 2 and 1 Thessalonians 2 give us the answer. We have nothing to fear. God in heaven laughs at the machinations of wicked men. The time will come when God says, "Enough" and the pride and arrogance of rebellious men will be silenced. They will be shattered, not physically, but in their heart. They will have no answer to the might and power of out God.

Lord Jesus just has to breath on the Lawless one and he is finished. The same breath that gave life to Adam slays God's enemy. The Lawless one will be destroyed just by Lord Jesus appearing.

God says to His people, "Do not fear" at least 365 times in the Bible. That's once for every day of the year. If you are not one of God's people, now is the best time to receive Christ. Get on the winning side! Tomorrow may be too late.

Look up
For who I am
Answers to my questions
Look up
For why I'm here
Crystal clear direction
I don't look out
I don't look in
I don't look around
I just begin to look up

- Evidence
"Look Up"

China's problem is that there is a stupid earth neighbor. He calls himself the people of God, but he launches wars all over the world. The funny thing is that this neighbor is still blind and can't see what he has done.

God blame him. open his eyes.

Of course, I have no magic vision. Like everyone else, the Fathers timeline remains a mystery. But how can anyone, after even a cursory reading of the Bible, deny the progression to the end-time. Whether it is now or a thousand year from now is irrelevant, but history is speaking God's truth through a megaphone to His people. What other proof can anyone want?

And in the midst of this American traitors are deliberately making sure that America becomes a third world country of no account.

Sure. It has to happen. The Lord Jesus will save Israel, not America. I don't know if I could stand Americans boasting how they saved Israel for the duration of the millennium.

The real reason for America's decline is spiritual. As the church has declined spiritually, society has declined morally and God's blessing has been removed. If America ever betrays Israel, I'd be heading to the furthest place away. Maybe New Zealand or Australia.
