Former President Joe Biden allowed approximately 10 million illegal aliens to cross the United States border. His cavalier, or should we say, his recalcitrant attitude about law enforcement, is now causing what looks like a civil war.
Portland is under attack by people who think illegal aliens should be defended. Governor Pritzker of Illinois is standing for the illegal aliens against U.S. law. Now ICE agents and border agents have come under attack in several places throughout the nation.
It is obvious this is the day of demonic interference in the United States. But even more than that, in particular, Satan is having his heyday for those who think rebellion is just a good deal to get involved in.
Joe Biden wouldn't be the first ruler, president, or king that was rejected by God for his rebellion. We can go all the way back to King Saul, who refused to give heed to the Word of God, and as a result, he was put out of his kingship. It was how he was put out that carries with it a spiritual oversight or inference that carries on even to this present day. Let's take a look at it.
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king”I (Isaiah 15:23)
Since Donald Trump is our lawfully elected president, his effort to retain law and order in our cities and streets is also ordained by the living God.
The feeling that demons are now involved with American living is not unusual. In fact, it is demons that are stirring up strife among American people. This is Theology 101.
If you are careful to listen to it, today for the first time in history perhaps you can hear newscasters and commentators using the word "demonic" when they refer to the crime, the riots, the fires, and the misbehaving done throughout our country.
These kinds of behaviors have now caused the eschatologists and the prognosticators—the prophets, or whatever else you may want to call them—the prophecy experts and beyond to step in and try to explain how all this fits into the last days picture or to all that is supposed to precede the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Designer Prophecies?
This is where caution is warranted. There are no designer prophecies or do-it-yourself prophecies. We can't make everything fit into the prophetic picture, even while a great deal of it does.
But sometimes we go too far. Here are three examples that I call the 3 R's.
- The Red Heifers.
- The Red Moons.
- The Red Ink
Sometimes the so-called prophecy experts see the excitement that the latest trend creates in people and carry it a little bit too far.
From a rather obscure passage in the book of Numbers, the eschatologists have developed a prophetic theme, so to speak. But the passage has nothing to do with prophecy and has only to do with a ritual of cleansing of the Jewish priest. The idea comes from God's command to the priest to take a red heifer of a certain quality and kind, sacrifice it, and then mix the ashes with the water that would be sprinkled on the priest to cleanse. The idea is that if all of the priests were cleansed, then it would be the signal for the new temple to start being rebuilt.
Regardless of how you view this passage, it can be seen that it is only a ritualistic tradition. It has no prophetic overtones whatsoever.
In the last decade, a great deal of attention is being paid to the prediction of red moons. Many times it takes only an eclipse to produce a red moon. At other times, a certain aligning of the planets can produce a meteorological condition that can produce a red moon.
But Christians worldwide get excited about the red moon prophecies as if any red moon could signal the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible does not say a red moon is the signal. In fact, it says it takes a red moon and another planet. That planet is the Sun.
This is the verse that describes that condition. It is found in Joel, chapter 2, verses 30 and 31.
“And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.”
Another verse drawn from the New Testament gives an even clearer picture of how these two planets, the Sun and the Moon, will look on the very day that Christ returns. It is found in Revelation chapter 6 and verse 12.
“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.”
The idea that the economies of the world will all collapse suddenly and thereby draw the anti-Christ to the front to take his place as ruler for the last seven years of time is not completely provable from Scripture.
The Bible says the Antichrist controls the economies of every nation on earth in the last few years of time. Therefore everybody thinks the economy must be very bad when in fact the opposite is probably true. He is able to stabilize the economy in third-world countries and countries having a desperate time with famine, and he is able to improve the economy of countries that already have great economic success.
The red ink prophecy is very unreliable, just as the economies of the world are generally very unreliable.
It isn't red ink that we have to worry about, but a general thrust throughout the world in political leadership. There will be killing, wars, rumors of wars. Even today, Donald Trump is thinking of sending tomahawks to Ukraine. There's a push against NATO by both Russia and other anti-NATO, countries. This is what precipitates the rise of the Antichrist. The general thrust among the civilian population will be a rise in killing and rioting and assassination because they are getting prepped for Revelation 20 and verse 4, which is a special kind of killing. The killing of the believers throughout the world.
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
Perhaps the only good part about last day's prophecy is given to us in the second chapter of the prophecies of Joel.
It is there that God promises to pour out his Spirit on all flesh, sons, daughters, the young, the old, and everyone in between, and there'll be revival. We see the beginnings of that today in Charlie Kirk's TP USA, in our colleges and universities, in our high schools, and in our churches. The churches are beginning to stand up, witness, and be counted, and preach the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
While it is a good thing to watch for false prophets, it does well to weigh out the so-called prophecy experts as you go. Getting people excited about farfetched scripture interpretations still comes under the heading of false teaching.
Stick with the scripture and don’t get extravagant.
This writer has spent the last half century going by this rule.
If the scripture makes plain sense – seek no other sense.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” (2 Tim 4:3).
