A World Without Borders

As a Christian I have followed Bible Prophecy closely for over forty five years. As a part of that interest I have tried to establish links to what the bible describes with real time World events. In the Old Testament the prophets Daniel and Jeremiah prophesied that God’s Judgement would come upon the World in the End Times.

Jeremiah 30:7 calls this the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. Jacob refers to the nation of Israel and the scripture reads as follows "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it" KJV

Daniel 12:1 speaks of the the same event “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” These prophecies are directed at the nation of Israel specifically but are also global in nature and thus apply equally to people living at the time of these events.

I’m completing this article a few days later than I started to write it so my thoughts have moved on a somewhat. I suppose the question to ask is “Is this the time of Jacob’s Trouble?” Well it’s been two thousand years since Jesus ascended into heaven and if we read his statements in Matthew 24. The events of this era starting with the return of the Jews to their homeland and the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948. I would have to say that this is very likely the time the bible also describes as the End Times.

I realise not everyone values the bible or its prophecies. Some people say they prefer not to wallow in negativity. Quite a lot of folks choose to ignore religious commentary as unscientific and irrelevant. However, to those who do follow bible prophecy then starting with the return of the Jews to Israel. This period of time seems to jell with the events described in God’s word. Scripture says “As it was in the days of Noah so will it be when the Son of Man returns.” Well in Noah’s time the population of the World is estimated to have been in the billions. The people’s focus was entirely on self and not on God at all. Evil seems to have been as prevalent in that epoch as it is today.

The apostle Paul spoke of the activity of what he called the Mystery of Iniquity in his time. Today their are rumoured to be a number of somewhat covert groups that would meet the description of the Mystery of Iniquity in our time as well. I elude to the Illuminati, The Bilderbergers, The Society of Jesus, The Knights Malta, The Trilateral Commission, The Club of Rome, The Round Table, The Fabian Socialists and the The Freemasons. All of these shadowy organisations are involved in the establishment of a Global Super State and the education of the tier of bureaucracy required to operate and govern it. A world without borders.

Now many bible eschatologists understand the borderless society that is being ushered in by the New World Order to be an attempt by the Mystery of Iniquity to re-establish the situation that existed at the Tower of Babel. A society of people joined together speaking the same language, all a part of the same system and worshiping as one religion. This has not been possible until this present era. We now have the technology to enable this to happen. I speak of travel, communication and inter-connectedness.

We are seeing a series of global events that are going to rapidly change the world as we know it. The global furor over climate change has forced a shift in thinking as we seek to replace dirty technology with cleaner more and sustainable technology. It is becoming increasingly obvious that borders need to dissolve in order to enact a global solution to the challenges of Climate Change in the future.

As the United Nations strives to implement a raft of strategies to reign in Climate Change by 2030. It seems to me that we are going to see substantial change to our global society and lifestyle in the next nine years. Their will be a shift away from the use of land to grow food. Much of the farmland will be retired and people will move into the cities in a way we have not seen in the past. I believe there will be a move to drastically reduce the human population.

Of course, we now have the challenge of a global pandemic in the form Covid 19 and once more it has reinforced the concept of the urgent need for a global government stronger and more effective than the United Nations and the World Health Organisation. I am not suggesting that Covid has been released on purpose to create this situation merely that it has conveniently underlined the inadequacy of government at a global level to successfully gain control of a health emergency of this kind

.

This situation has given governments around the world to practice the implementation of global civil defense rules and regulations that amount to a massive claw back of personal freedoms. It is looking increasingly that this will be the new normal as even in New Zealand we cruise along at level 1 of the Covid response plan. One genuinely wonders if this is the beginning of an increasingly Big Brother style Orwellian global regime. Where we are told by the media what to think and how to act.

The reason I say this because it occurs to me that this could simply a flu type illness with a huge focus on infection and death rates by the WHO and the International Media. I realise this is quite unlikely and the more sensible statement is that Covid is a dangerous and previously unseen pathogen causing much higher infection and death rates than a normal influenza strain. Of course the pandemic and climate change are not the only major drivers for a borderless society. The political tension between East and West is also a major reason that proponents of globalism are calling for a New World Order.

The position of China and Russia in opposition to the West has the potential to be a major flash point. If a true borderless world society is to be established then an accord has to be ironed out between East and West. Personally I think that there is a war to be fought here and one is described in the bible. How the world will look after that war is moot. How much of mankind will survive that war should it occur is also an unknown. This situation alone tends to lead me to conclude that the bible’s description of the End Times fits best with our era. Jesus said of this time that if it were not cut short no flesh would survive.

If I am even close to being right about all of this then the proof will be in the pudding. The beginning of the End Times will see the New World Order roll into a town near you. Things will become increasingly less nationalist and more globalist. Climate Change and the Global Pandemic will continue to be issues of massive importance. Personal freedom will stay on hold with rolling lock-downs becoming the new normal. Some form of identification system will be brought in possibly based around vaccination for Covid. Life as we have known it will move from autumn to winter. A nee season of change will be upon us.

Remember that God so loves you that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, that if you believe on him. You will not perish but will inherit eternal life. A personal paraphrase of John 3:16

For the Love of God...

I heard a question recently where a person asked how to share the gospel with LGBTQ folk. As a teacher I encounter youngsters of the LGBTQ preference fairly often so I thought it might be somewhat illuminating to share my thoughts on the matter.

Before going into detail about how to witness to these somewhat challenging individuals I think we need to visit three foundation scriptures from the book of Romans. Now Romans 3:10 says “...as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one.” and Romans 3:22 says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...” Finally Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Now so often we Christians go in to witness without acknowledging that we ourselves are loathsome creations in need of the grace of God. In fact we need his forgiveness  just as much if not more than the poor downcast creatures we seek to lead to our loving Savior Jesus Christ. 

So when we go in to witness we need to come from the position of the humble and lowly servant of Jesus Christ. Not the spiritually proud justified and sanctified saint who stands in judgement of these lowly sinners. Bear in mind that we are not righteous nor do we have the glory of God and if we reapt the wages of our sins, even now as believers we would die in our sins. But we have God’s freely given gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. In short when we look upon the lost in their fallen state and dead in their sins. “There go we but for the grace of God.” 

We often hear secularists espouse their doctrines of tolerance and the syllabus in public schools teaches this widely to all of our youth. However in reality our youngsters may preach tolerance but they often don’t practice it themselves. So our LGBTQ folk are used to the condemnation and lack of acceptance that comes from their peers and society as a whole. In general they are greatly troubled, often depressed and quite sad most of the time. This has been my own observation in any case.

Therefore if you as Christian want to reach these people you need to reach out to them in love as Christ Jesus did with the adulteress in John 8: 1-11. The adulteress was brought to Christ and presented to him as an adulteress caught in the act of adultery. Her accusers asked his opinion and sought to stone the woman. Jesus said “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” One by one her accusers left and in the end there was just Jesus and the woman. The bible tells us what finally happened. “Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you? She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more”

So if you want to reach out to the LGBTQ person you need to approach them in love and without the slightest hint of judgment or disdain. You need to put aside all of your spiritual pride and ego and show them love in your actions. Sometimes this means putting aside sharing the gospel at first and developing a relationship with them as you have with Christ Jesus through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Let your actions demonstrate your walk with God. Accept them as you would any brother or sister in the Church. If you see they have needs then meet them. If they are sad encourage them. If you can help them in a meaningful way, do it. Show your life to them. Sing hymns as you go and speak of eternity. Pray for them extensively that they might seek Christ themselves and the God might provide opportunities for you to witness to them.

 

As I bring this piece to a close my dear brothers and sisters in our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I’ll let the apostle John have the final say from his epistle l John 4: 7-14 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world...”

Where in the World Are We...

OK so you don’t like conspiracy theories. You don’t want to hear about religion. You’re all about science now and you don’t need God. But this covid virus thing has got your attention. The environment is a bit of a worry and climate change is a big concern for you. Hopefully they’ll have a viable vaccine for Covid soon.

So this conspiracy theory thing. Hmmm... Now what do you think the future is going to look like? How are we going to fix the environment. You know stop the depletion of the worlds forests and clean up the oceans. Stop the mining and extraction of fossil fuels. Conserve the finite resources of planet Earth. Clean up all the pollution. 

 

You may not believe me but someone has a plan. Ever hear of the Georgia Guide Stones. They were erected at Elbert County, Georgia, USA in 1980 by Elberton Granite on behalf of one Robert C. Christian. They state the following: 

 

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.

3. Unite humanity with a living new language.

4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.

5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

8. Balance personal rights with social duties.

9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.

10.  Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

 

Now, I bet you are asking what has this to do with anything and I would agree with you it just seems like mostly common sense reasoning. If you watch a bit of Star Trek the Guidestones aren’t too different. They seem to hope for a more peaceful and rational future where mankind gradually over time reduces the size of Earths population and establishes a more sensible interaction with the living world. Allowing nature to regenerate because a much smaller population will have much lighter demands on the planet.

The problem is that the impact of humanity on the Earth’s environment needs drastic and immediate intervention. If we believe the heralds of environmental doom, people like Al Gore. Then the planet and the environment are in peril and we don’t have time to gradually adjust humanity to correct the catastrophe that is about to descend upon us as a result of Climate Change.

In 1992 the global elite came together in Rio de Janeiro to form a global action plan to reshape human society to reverse the process of Climate Change and avert catastrophe. When they met in 1992 they hoped to have implemented that change by 2021. Over time it became obvious that they would need more time. It was initially decided to allow until 2050 but the elite meet again in 2015 and decided to push on with Agenda 21 renamed Agenda 30. They are  aiming to have it in place by 2030. Hence we now have Agenda 2030.

The changes will be substantial indeed. It is intended to reduce the World’s population to 500 million by the agreed deadline. The government structure will most closely resemble left wing socialism and the societal change will most resemble the Leninist USSR. In that private ownership of land will be done away with as will single family homes. As I understand it the vision for the United States of America is to reduce the population to 66 million in six cities of 11 million people. There will be no rural communities and the native forests will be allowed to regenerate out of bounds to humanity. Food for the population will be grown in five story sheds under orange light.

So we are talking about drastic change in the next ten years. If the Global Elite are to achieve a reduction of 7.4 billion souls in nine years. Can you imagine what they need to do to make that happen. If these people are to go through with this plan of theirs it will make Hitlers Holocaust look like a Sunday School Picnic.

Now I know you don’t believe in conspiracy theories. We’ve been through that already. But you can see that they have been getting things ready to roll if you just think about. We’ve got a global pandemic on our hands. One that has brought a global response coordinated by the World Health Organization. In very short order every country in the World has declared lock downs on their people and regional states of emergency. Exactly as the Georgia Guide-stones described it. “Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.” So the nations implement the global laws but have a mandate from the World Court or in this case the WHO.

Remember the killing spree by the lone gunman against Islam in Christchurch. How has that been handled by the Government. Well the Guide-stones say “Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.” The New Zealand government led by Ms Jacinda Ardern was compassionate and considerate toward the Moslem folk affected by the terrorist event. But one wonders whether the plan was based on a bigger picture to usher in state control of religion by depicting faith and tradition as the pursuit of the unreasoned. Christians and social conservatives certainly have had pause to wonder over the last few years.

What I’m pointing out to you is that there is actual global change a foot. It seems that events are pointing to the establishment of a World Government and that the statements chiseled on the Georgia Guidestones are central themes of the Global Elite. It is worth noting that many people are saying that the world will be the same again after the Covid 19 pandemic.

So where in the World are we? I think personally that we are in the time of birth pangs described by Jesus in the book of Matthew chapter twenty four or perhaps the early days of what the Bible terms the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. As you may have perceived, I am a bible believing Christian and my recommendation to anyone is that they repent of their sins and and ask Christ Jesus to come into their hearts. I believe it is time to get right with God friends. Something is in the Wind. Whatever you think most agree post Covid the World will have changed.

Agenda 21: Central planning on steroids: Global warming believers unmasked by Climategate

https://www.mtdemocrat.com/news/agenda-21-central-planning-on-steroids-global-warming-believers-unmasked-by-climategate/ 29.06.20

Georgia Guidestones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones 28.06.20

It’s all in how you sell it.

People often ask why people do such terrible things to each other? As a Christian it comes back to how Satan deceived man in the Garden of Eden. The first thing he said to Eve was “Did God not say you cannot eat of the trees of the Garden.” It was a lie and a deceit. Eve almost responded with child like contempt. “No God said we may eat of all of the trees of the garden except the tree in the middle of the Garden and that if we eat of that tree we will certainly die.” See what the devil was doing here. He planted a seed of doubt in Eve’s mind about the character of God. Then in a masterstroke he pounced saying “You will most certainly not die, for God knows if you eat of the fruit of the tree you will be like God, knowing good from evil.” So he persuaded Eve by misleading her about the character of God and the consequences of disobedience. Eve may not have died physically that day but she died spiritually and set the scene for the death of all creation on Earth.

 

The model of deception the devil used on Adam and Eve is the same one he has used on all of mankind right down through the ages. He led mankind to the flood, to the Tower of Babel, to the worship of false gods and infiltrated God’s people to lead them in to paganism and away from God. He infiltrated the Church from the start and all the time he targets important parts of the faith and raises a man up to insert a false truth to lead believers in the wrong direction and away from God. 

 

It is no surprise then he has developed an opposing narrative to the Word of God in societies across the world and down the timeline of man’s history. That where God has said “I am the Lord your God and you shall have no gods before me.” Satan has said “Worship which ever God’s you see fit, so long as you worship me.” Where God has said “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” Satan has said “Only the fit shall survive.” And “Do as you will and let no man stand against you as you kill and plunder and wreak chaos on the World.” 

 

So it is when we see the terrible atrocities inflicted on innocent lives by others. Crimes which really have no logic in them. Evil done for the sake of wickedness. We can know that as Jesus said in the parable of the Tares and the Wheat. An enemy has done this! The very means Satan has used to dupe and deceive humanity is founded in lies and deceit. The art of salesmen-ship. It is definitely what he says but it is also how he says it, that makes men believe his lies. Lies like “One race is inferior to another.” or “Disabled children should be killed in the womb.” As our Lord has said “He was a murderer from the start.

 

So why do people do wicked things to other innocent people. Because Satan has feed them a diet of lies and innuendo. He has mixed in hatred and brutality along with a spirit of rebellion to destroy the peace and safety of the world. So today more than at any time in the Church Age. It is as it was in the days of Noah. The hearts of those who hate Yahweh Elohim seek only wickedness continually. The reason? Well it comes down to the actions of the most malevolent salesman that Creation has ever known. It’s all in how you sell it.

What You Can’t Say

There is a Noam Chomsky quote that says it all for me. ““The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....”

 

So you can’t say that “The attack on the Twin Towers was a collusion within the American government.”

 

You can’t say that “Bill Gates is engineering virus’s as a part of a plot to reduce the World’s population in the face of resource poverty and climate change.”

 

And for that matter “That Climate Change is a lie created by the global elite to engender an environment to fast track a globalist World Government.”

 

You can’t say that there is “A movement to create a World Government that is a collusion of the global elite and a plethora of Luciferean Secret Societies.”

 

You can’t speak out by saying “Pagan practices like yoga and meditation are a part of mediumism and the occult.”

 

Folks really start to get angry if you say “God judged Christchurch NZ for the support that they have given the Wizard for all of these decades.” or pointing out that “The people of Christchurch didn’t come together to thank God after the September 4 2010 earthquake where there was no loss of life.”

 

You dear not quote Romans chapter one by saying “Homosexuality is an abomination before God.” for fear of prosecution under hate speech laws.

 

Obviously there are numerous other issues you dare not speak out against in this secular socialist society in which we live. It seems that Mr Chomsky is correct that there is strict control of the spectrum of acceptable opinion. So much we can’t say.

Being A Christian - The OS

I was reading a comment on a Facebook post this morning. The person made the statement that “She used to be a Christian but wasn’t one now.” Quite a lot of people flirt with Christianity and then drift away as life happens. Anyway it made me think about my own life as a Christian and what Christianity is really about?

 

Christianity is similar to a computer Operating System. In the Christianity model people are the hardware. As with most operating systems Christianity is meant to operate the hardware in an orderly and efficient manner. Christianity is not the same OS that the first humans had as Adam and Eve were created perfect and were in perfect harmony and union with God. Then an enemy inserted a virus called sin into the original OS and the system crashed resulting in humanity operating as separate modules using the flesh operating system. They were separated from God and their operating systems were ravaged by the sin virus.

God issued various patches to address the sin issue like the Law. It wasn’t until He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to bear the sin of the World on the Cross at Calvary that God was able to begin to restore the system to it’s original state. Where man is in harmony and union with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. In Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection God was able to cleanse the sin virus out of the humanity and reboot to the original operating system. A person has only to believe, have faith, in Jesus Christ that he paid the price for their sin and they are cleansed and restored to a personal relationship with God.

The restoration of the individual operating system doesn’t happen all at once. It happens over our life time as we begin to recognize the sin fortresses that we are still holding on to and surrender them to God. God also sent the Holy Spirit to live in us and to administer the process of restoration in out hearts and minds. The Christianity operating system is focused on restoring us to communion with God.

Now I want to double down on the point that Christianity is meant to restore us to a loving relationship with God and we are meant to be good and righteous people living good and righteous lives. Many Christians dig up a bunch of worldly junk and attach it to their version of Christianity. They make religion out of it and seek to blame folks and pretend to know what God thinks as they assure other’s that God is judging them based on their interpretation of scripture and so fourth.

Christianity is about you and your relationship with God. If you believe on His Son, Jesus Christ, you will not perish but will receive eternal life. If you ask Jesus to come into your heart he will begin a process of restoration as the Holy Spirit reveals His nature in you. He will cleanse you of sin and remake you a son or daughter of God. That’s the purpose of the Christianity operating system. To renew and restore you to the original state putting you into constant communion with God in Christ Jesus.

The Sin Continuum

I don’t know how you feel but I’ve really been wondering of late. Just what motivates the decision making of our leaders. I can’t understand the love affair that secular politicians have with Islam. They just can’t bend over far enough to accommodate them. Even though Islam is so conservative as to make conservative Christianity seem positively pliable.

 

Anyone who knows much about Islam understands that the religion has absolutely no compassion for the position of women in society. Islam is completely intolerant of gay issues and other religions. It has a program for the conversion of nations into caliphates which takes the long view in terms of achieving dominance over the centuries that it takes to establish its position into one of control.

 

To warm to Islam is irrational and at the very least unwise if you intend to retain some form of freedom and democracy. So why has this irrational and unduly emotional attitude that seems to pervade politics and the media in the West become the dominant agenda. Any form of conservative comment on secular issues is shot down in the media and those responsible are made the victims of intense character assassination.

 

The government are quick to threaten hate speech laws if there is any intolerance toward their political darlings. The LGTBQ movement, the abortion law reform bill, the euthanasia bill, feminism or any attempt to point out a lack of morality on behalf of the Liberal Progressives in general. With Covid 19 even the press are not immune from bully boy tactics at the Prime Ministers office. Interestingly this censure does not apply to Islam.

Thinking back to my parents generation they wouldn’t have tolerated any of the current liberal thinking. They seemed to understand the danger of the shifting of societies moral compass. They noticed things going on around them and were not slow in expressing an opinion about something that they suspected wasn’t right. Family members frequenting places that were known to be dens of iniquity. Folks who were into tarot reading or seances were noted and generally avoided. Even in those days though there were liberal people who cried foul when those who were participating in drunken cavorting and carousing or occultism were called out for it by conservative folk.

 

Fifty years on though the secular and liberal progressive agenda has taken the dominant position and claimed the moral high ground. You are immoral if you find any fault with someone who is doing whatever they want. Regardless of how wicked the thing that they are doing happens to be. It doesn’t matter if its LGBTQ, abortion or euthanasia the global elite are going to protect their darlings from righteousness and a sound moral code whatever the cost.

 

So how can we make sense of this crazy, irrational and morally bereft agenda that the progressives are attempting to foist upon the world. I think the easiest way to describe it is to think of a continuum that stretches from the glory of God and all that is righteous on one side to the sinful wickedness of Satan and the fallen angels in their darkest evil unrighteousness on the other side. Now where the mark on that continuum used to be well toward righteousness and God in the past.It has moved on a global scale toward evil and unrighteousness today.

 

The result is that where we had a conservative majority in the West fifty years ago. We now have a liberal progressive majority today. Where rational thought, sanity and righteousness were in abundance then. Irrational thought, insanity and unrighteousness are in abundance today. Whereas the unrighteous couldn’t truck with the right minded in the past we find that we the righteous can’t truck with the wrong minded in our time.

 

If you find yourself wondering at the decisions that the politicians make and the promises that they don’t even seem to try and keep. Election lies every election cycle. At some point you have to wake up to the truth. A truth that says they are they are not failing to keep those promises because they can’t or because they are seemingly incompetent. They are not making bad decisions because of circumstances that make a decision the only one they could make. No! They are making them because they don’t think the same way as you do and the decisions they make are right in their sight. Proverbs 14 verse 12 says “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”

 

The ruling elite are on the wrong side and the End of the Age is fast approaching. The time forecast in God’s Word as a time of judgment that if it were not cut short no one would survive. So my conclusion dear friends is that all of mankind needs to Repent of their Sin and in the name of God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, ask that He forgive them and make His place in their hearts. The bible says it is given for all men to die once and then the judgment. You don’t want to face the Second Death when it is too late to change your mind. Too late to repent.
