Almighty God vs. Satan: Beyond today’s global darkness—Easter’s promise of light

The familiar scene opens to the gathering of ominous storm clouds. Darkness descends for three hours, above the hill where Jesus of Nazareth, nailed to the cross and in excruciating pain for several hours, takes his final breath, crying out according to the Holy Bible’s Luke 23:46 “...Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit....” Then, in Matthew 27:51-52: “...the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened;....” And finally, in Matthew 27:54, a Roman centurion guard, seeing an earthquake and the things that had happened, in great fear confirms: “...Truly, this was the Son of God!”

Yes, those who witnessed this epic event knew—they absolutely knew!—that this was God in the flesh. And yet this is what those whom Jesus had ministered to did to him...they murdered him via a torturous death. And you and I no doubt would have done the same...at least prior to our close walk with God...as we also find it so very hard to face either God or His Truth at times...we do not want to give up our selfish desires.

We admit that it’s ultimately a struggle between ego and God...self and God. And until we give over our right to ourselves—in every way, shape, and form—we will never find true joy and peace. The only path to inner tranquility is by believing on Jesus Christ—that Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who died for our sins and rose again. When we do this, Jesus places His Holy Spirit inside of us, to guide and comfort us.

It’s why our Lord came to Earth in the first place. Jesus left His Heavenly home of glory and wonder to reveal Himself to us, and then to die for us. As breathtaking as that is to comprehend, Almighty God actually lived and walked among us.

And just like we rejected Him way back then, so many in this present age also reject Our Lord and Savior. They choose to side with Satan and his evil minions...they try to take God out of the Holy Bible out of all of our institutions and culture. And they do not care what methods they use to do so. You see, they want to replace Him. Truly, it’s as simple as that.

Currently, the Lord appears to be setting the stage for His return...for His Rapture of His Believers, followed by His seven-year Great Tribulation period of wrath, and then His Second Coming.

All Bible prophecy that has to be completed prior to the Rapture has come to fulfillment. We are, right now, at that point in time. ‘Revelation,’ as in the Book of Revelation, means ‘the revealing.’ And currently, we do seem to be in a sort of ‘pre-revealing’ stage, just prior to the Tribulation period.

Without a doubt, the vast wickedness is being shown to us worldwide in scope—and it’s being shown to us even right here in the United States of America. We presently are in a Global information war, which simply is the latest iteration in an eternal war between the forces of light and darkness. And the premier location on Earth to focus upon right now is Israel. Jesus Christ told His disciples that ‘thee’ important sign to watch for in the latter days is the regathering of Israel...of note, Israel is referred to as “the fig tree” in Scripture.

Jesus explained to them: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:32-35).

And Israel did indeed regather as a nation, in one day...just as Scripture said it would, on May 14, 1948! Now, according to the Bible, a generation is described as being, for the most part, 70 to 80 years. We can all do the math on that one!

And Jesus also said that in these latter days “...there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11).

Well, we’ve not only seen a major increase in earthquakes in recent years, but also in hurricanes and all types of natural disasters. And we can add to that the likelihood of manmade weather weapons that potentially can induce these ‘natural’ disasters,’ as well.

Indeed, there are many ways for man to manipulate the weather, as we see from this History Channel clip on the HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) weather program: https://t.me/GeneralMCNews/2540. ABC also has explained how ‘cloud seeding’ is being used to modify weather across America.

As to Jesus’ warnings on coming pestilences, Covid-19 was the largest worldwide epidemic ever. And as a result of Trump’s war on the fake news media outlets, we now know that former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci actually helped fund this deadly manmade bioweapon of Covid-19, which ultimately killed millions.

With regard to Jesus’ admonitions on increasing famines in these latter days, that, too, has come to pass to a large extent. Due to the Global Elite/Deep State Machine’s deliberate war on farmers, a lot of farmers aren’t able to grow their crops...and this allows the Machine to replace traditional agriculture with insect farms and fake meat laboratories, and thus assume total control of the global food supply, under the pretext of tackling “climate change.”

These evil vermin think that they have it all figured out...that they can thwart God’s plan for humanity. But even though Scripture tells us that there will be a one-world government/religion/economy at some point to come, it does appear that the Lord is granting America—indeed the entire world that’s been subverted by the Deep State—a brief respite, at least for a time.

America, as the nation founded upon Judeo-Christian principles/values, seems to be the driving force amidst this turnaround of the Titanic...this brief reversal of the Global Elites’ Agenda against America and the entire world.

We see President Trump reinstating these Christian tenets in the White House, the American institutions and agencies, and right on through to even our nation’s colleges!

And we know that it surely would take the Hand of God to even attempt to take on a Deep State that has permeated most every Country even up to their top levels of government—including and especially the United States of America, our last standing beacon of Christian hope upon this earth!

Trump even has taken on the global financial system...an astonishing mission that’s surely not designed for the faint of heart. For decades, the Global Deep State Elites have run the world via their Central Banking System.

In terms of America’s economic system in particular, these moneyed maniacs created a scheme that started with the creation of our Federal Reserve back in 1913. Gathered together in one room were the rich likes of the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and the Warburgs—these are the men that represented one-fourth of the wealth of the entire world.

They all had come together to form a banking cartel so that they didn’t have to compete against each other. They also devised a diabolical scheme whereby they obtained a franchise to create money out of nothing for the purpose of lending.

So, We the People paid interest on money that they created out of thin air!

Until now.

Enter Trump and his well-timed tariffs...where we find that China is our main opponent. Yes, the Global Elite Deep State wants to run the world, but so does China. Both of these evil entities will work apart or will join forces—whichever benefits their vile intentions—to take down America as the superpower of the world.

For decades now, the World Economic Forum (WEC)/Davos Elite crowd and China have called the shots, using their wealth and power to dictate to everyone, including America. But Trump is taking on the Elites’ Wall Street and also the entity of Communist China, the latter of which once again is almost certainly threatening to call in their massive loan to America.

Nevertheless, Trump has declared that he believes that he has Almighty God’s backing...and he has boldly called both the evil Elites’ and crooked China’s bluff.

America will, according to our courageous President, call the shots from now on. Trump also, immediately after gaining power in January, 2025, dressed down the WEC crowd right to their faces via video, telling them that America no longer will participate in their scams/directives. Trump then appealed to the second largest worldwide money-holders in the room, encouraging them to align their investments with America!

General Michael Flynn has labeled this period of time the ‘Second Revolution.’ Christians throughout our country—and actually worldwide—are fighting back against Satan and his minions...and at least for now, the tide of evil appears to have been held back to a large degree.

2 Timothy foretold that in the last days on earth, there will be perilous times. And we most definitely are feeling it in droves. It reminds us of King David pouring out his overwhelming distress to God in Psalm 61, obviously feeling a great sense of danger.

Like David, we are to turn to the Lord, to His Word, for comfort, guidance, and strength. We must not succumb to feelings of despair. And we certainly must not blend in with the part of the world who are folding under Satan and his followers.

Our feelings will go up and down, but we need to bind our thoughts to the Word of God, where we will find true stability.

Once again, we are seeing the downfall of man upon this earth. But this time, it looks to be the final battle...the one that leads to the Rapture of Believers to Heaven, and then God’s seven-year period of wrath on earth for the non-Believers left behind.

This war between Almighty God versus Satan, good versus evil, most definitely is reaching a climax/crescendo. God is lifting the veil worldwide on all of the evil underneath...and we are seeing the cockroaches frantically scatter!

As we celebrate the message of ‘Jesus and the Cross’ this Easter, let us remember exactly what that Cross of Christ represents. Our late, beloved Reverend Billy Graham said it best: “God undertook the most dramatic rescue operation in cosmic history. He determined to save the human race from self-destruction, and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to salvage and redeem them. The work of man’s redemption was accomplished at the cross.”

We must endeavor to pray for even the vilest of sinners worldwide, as the hour is so very late. We remember that but for the grace of God, there goes you and I, as the wise old adage attests.

Nevertheless, it can be so very easy to relegate these sinners to the trash bin, but for the sake of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to come, we must spread His Word as vessels of His Truth, whenever and wherever we can. The Cross shows us God’s great wrath toward sin/un-Holiness, and it also shows us His great love, as He gave His Son to suffer and die on our behalf.

And at such great cost, no doubt, to God the Father...as Jesus lay suffering on that Cross. But it had to be. As C. S. Lewis so aptly explains it: “It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.”

And we all have a share in, play a part in, that collection of “rebellious wills.” We helped cause Jesus to suffer a torturous death at Calvary. Sure, we like to think that we are so very pure and good in most respects, better than the next person, right?...but deep down, we know the truth...yes/yes, we know....

At one point in our journey, you see, we finally figured it out. At first, it made no sense to us that Barabbas was set free in place of Jesus Christ. But then...but then...an amazing truth occurred to us somewhere along the way, as we gazed into the mirror in front of us: “Oh, my dear sweet Lord and Savior...Barabbas is me.”
