Prophecy Update: June 1st 2018
There is a civil war in the United States that mirrors the war going on in the world. That war can be characterized as the globalists versus the nationalists. The globalists like to paint everyone who loves their nation as a fascist or Nazi. Loving your nation is Godly, we learn from the Scriptures that God made the nations for a purpose. Globalism keeps us from Gods purposes for nations. The globalists are for a hierarchy of authority that can tell nations what to do. Brexit and the election of Donald Trump were repudiations of globalism.
The loss of the Judeo Christian worldview in Europe has caused a failure in ethics. When this worldview was rejected it had to be replaced. The replacement has been a disaster. I checked several articles about the loss of the Christian faith in Europe and here are some quotes from those articles:
“The “relativistic” thought that arose after Europe rejected its own Christian roots has created a cultural weakness that has allowed the resurgence of aggressive Islam, warned that the West is squeezed between a radical “post-human” secularist ideology on one side, pressuring for changes to the fundamental concept of humanity, and the resurgent violence of the new Islamic “Caliphate” exploiting this weakness on the other.” It is this radical post human secularist ideology that is giving Islam more rights than Christians. Christians are being attacked by both Islamists and leftists.
EUROPE’S OFFICIALDOM ERASING CHRISTIANITY, “As the Dutch scholar Arnold Huijgen wrote, however, the house is culturally ’empty, The most remarkable thing about the house is that, as far as its account is concerned, it is as if religion does not exist. In fact, it never existed and never impacted the history of the continent. … No longer is European secularism fighting the Christian religion; it simply ignores every religious aspect in life altogether.”
Prime Minister Viktor Orban rails against European leaders’ insistence on mass migration. The head of Hungary was very clear that unless the leaders of Europe chose Christianity again, Europe would be lost. He said, “Christianity is Europe’s last hope.”
Melanie Philips spoke last week at Parkside Church in Cleveland. Her speech was “The War of Our World: The Eclipse of Conscience and Reason.” Her best-selling book Londonistan, about the British establishment’s capitulation to Islamist aggression, was published in 2006 and she followed this in 2010 with The World Turned Upside Down: the Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.
She said that “we live in crazy times. What is blindingly evident in the world is that everything is upside down. They want to bar people from college who believe that a man who has male parts is actually a man.” She gave many examples of this maddening political correctness going on in Great Britain. Of course this is going on in the USA also. Take the example of Black Lives Matter. They are committed to fighting racism but according to Commentary Magazine, they are very anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. “The leaders of Black Lives Matter have written profoundly anti-Israel manifesto in which they accuse Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid.” The manifesto endorses the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement and takes the view that the United States justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliances with Israel. This makes the US complicit in a supposedly genocidal massacre of the Palestinian people.”
Philips said of this war, “It is obvious that since the 1930’s the Arabs have rejected every offer of a Palestinian State at the same time the world rejects the fact that the Jews are the only people who have lived in Israel as their national home land. The Left has told us that all of these people who are at war with the West, they can be appeased. If you tell the truth you are attacked, and it is like the Soviet Union. There is a connection between the Left and the USSR.” Secularism is destroying us from within, the Bible gives us reason and truth and that is rejected.
Why did the West turn on itself with self-loathing? Why is the West in rejection of Biblical values that have given us freedom and truth? Her reason may shock you, it is the Holocaust! Anti-western thinking came because the holocaust was a great moral failure. The holocaust revealed that the West’s belief in itself as the greatest exemplar of moral values was false. It happened in High German culture the pinnacle of reason and values and the enlightenment. Now the West is pushing transnational views which cut out nations and any Christian thought. This view is Marxist.
The worship of Man has given us communism and fascism. The worship of God through the Judeo Christian worldview brings peace and joy. Perfecting the world by man leads to cultural totalitarianism. The West has been transformed, the leftist culture took over the education institutions, the long march through the institutions is what they call it. They have entered the church and taught a false gospel with man at the center of the universe. They push equality, a secular equality, the insistence that there can be no differences; where no one can say that their values are better than any other value. She quoted Professor Richard Dawkins, “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” This is the view of the left.
It is the God of the Old Testament who taught us to love your neighbor and love God. Any factual evidence is rejected by the left because they stay true to their view that man can perfect the world without God. Bringing up God is evil for them. This battle in America has been going on for 50 years. It has been going on longer in Britain. The quote by Richard Dawkins is an example of how the left shows hate in defense of tolerance. The problem with dispatching biblical ethics for a new freedom is that there is no freedom in man. Man is good at enslaving others. The real enslaving is coming from an enemy that has moved within western culture. Jihadist Islam!
Is it all over for the West? As an American, I am profoundly optimistic about the future. I believe that the election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote in Britain have deep cultural similarities, a deep desire to free ourselves from those who drowned out the Christian voice and those that loved their nation. It was a repudiation of the anti-western leftists! The battle is on: in Britain they are trying to attack those who voted for Brexit and in our country we have those who hate Trump. Our president is under attack each day because they hate those who voted for him. The news services explain that we are bigots for voting for the president.
Donald Trump believes in America and he will fight for us—he has done so much to protect Christians and has been named the most prolife and pro-Israel president ever.
Jesus said, “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matt.24:7
This passage says that although people will be in conflict, there will not be a repudiation of nations even in the end times. Nations which are made up of people groups, who have cultures, will still exist to fulfill this prophecy. Jesus is fulfilling this prophecy now and the Christians are taking advantage of the time we live in. This gives me great hope that a revival is on the way in America! Satan will pervert it, that is for sure but he cannot stop God from saving a great many people. Eventually, the world will turn against the God of the Bible. This backlash against the Left gives us hope.
The rise of communism, fascism, socialism, and secular humanism are all connected to a rejection of the Bible. God has preserved the truth in His people. The rejection of born again Christians and Jews are for the same reason. Israel is rejected because the Bible teaches that God will bring the Jews back to their land. They reject Israel’s claim to the land because they cannot endure the fact that God gave the land of Israel to Jews. The rejection of born again Christians by the left is consistent with their hatred of the Bible or revelation from God. The fact that the United States is built on the belief that our rights come from God, the God of the bible, is hateful to the left.
Although this battle will continue until the Anti-Christ comes on the scene, I believe with all my heart that a revival is on the way. Not a revival that will save the West—a revival that will save people who will be raptured out of this sin sick world. God will then move to accomplish His goal of saving Israel. Romans 11:25 tells us, “for I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in and so all Israel will be saved.” God is accomplishing His promises to Israel and the Church—Praise Him today!
