What's interesting with this broadcast is how the new Reset agenda is described as humanitarian and how corporations are "peacefully" taking over the world and the production of food. In India, the global policies have already caused a massive increase in suicide by farmers who fell into debt.
More and more control and power are moving to centralized unelected bodies of power who in turn coerce governments to obey their suggested policies. We are already seeing global government which has come in peacefully in the power and influence of the global corporations which control government policy in health, agriculture, finance, etc.
Such global monsters as Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, are using their combined power to control our information sources and eliminate opposing voices. The pharmaceutical giants impose their desires on government nationally and internationally through their tremendous lobbying finance abilities. Money is power and the pharmaceutical's use their power to influence government so that they can dominate health policies.
We have already submitted to their narrative and accepted obligatory vaccines for our children and grandchildren. They control the narrative so well that anyone who offers a differing voice is considered a "conspiracy theorist," or in other words "a nut case."
Why am I concerned about the growth in corporate power and global government? Nothing really can be done to stop, I am told, so why don't I just accept it as a necessary evolution of human society?
My answer is simple. Some 700 years before Christ a Jewish prophet named Daniel spoke of the events of the last days of man's rule on earth. The final world government would be a draconian one, inspired from the depths of the underworld by Satan himself. The other prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, etc, also gave warnings that the last days would be a time of great conflict due to the rise of a demonic world leader.
In the New Testament we find Jesus, Apostle Paul, and especially Apostle John filling in the missing details of Daniel's specific prophecies about the time of the end. We see some 2,000 years after the New Testament prophecies and 2,700 years after Daniel's prophecies that the earth is ripe for the final global government. It is from the gobal government that the final Antichrist will arise and push the world into the cataclysmic period in the Bible called the Great Tribulation or the time of Jacob's trouble.
More and more we see the global aspects of coming world government in our lives. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown how quickly governments around the world will fall in line to the narrative of the behind the scenes global leaders. Bill Gates and Pope Francis have been two of the most influential globalists helping to promote the global agenda. Tony Fauci in America, a long time Rockefeller pawn, has reached the heights of global physician and his narrative, the narrative of the pharmaceutical industry, has become the word of God.
All these moves for global power have been done peacefully under the guise of saving the planet, saving lives in the pandemic or plandemic, coordinating global efforts to control the sickness, etc. We see global government coming in peacefully and those voices in protest from either the far left or far right or the common sense of the silent majority have or are being silenced.
The new Ministry of Truth that Orwell spoke of in his futuristic novel "1984" is now rewriting the narrative of truth and tightening their already tight control on information and alternative media. Surely we are at the doorsteps of the New World Order and we are found wanting. Iniquity is abounding. A great falling away from the faith has already taken place intellectually where men believe they have evolved from a "small warm pond."
Considering ourselves wise, we have become fools and are worshipping our evolutionary family tree as our gods. As a result, as Paul predicted, our society is corrupted with "vile affections," in other words sexual behaviour that does not produce offspring, but whose own goal is perverted sexual pleasure. You can read Paul's warning in his letter to the Romans 1:16-32, a very sad commentary on today's world.
But the point I wanted to make with the above podcast is how the apparatus for global government is coming in, and has been coming into position peacefully. We seem ready as nations and citizens to embrace it as something good. But God's Word tells us otherwise and tells us to watch, and pray, and prepare ourselves physically and spiritually for the evil days that are to come.
Jesus warned that except He shortened "those days," "no flesh" would survive. (Matthew 24:22) In other words, mankind would destroy humanity and all animal life in some gigantic nuclear holocaust.
Here are the verses from Daniel on the the last world government and global leader coming to power peacefully.
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the trangressors are come to a full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences (occult practices?) shall stand up (the Antichrist). And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (physical power, could it be financial power): and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice (occult?), and shall destroy the mighty and holy people (USA?). And through his policy also he shall cause craft (witchcraft or sorcery/ pharmaceuticals) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart (like Nero, or Hitler, or Stalin etc), and by PEACE shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Jesus Christ); but he shall be broken without hand (defeated by Christ in the battle of Armageddon)." Daniel 8:23-25
Now we will look at Daniel 11:21-24
"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person (the Antichrist?), to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom (at first): but he shall come in PEACEABLY, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries (propaganda promises?). And with arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, (he is ?) also the prince of the covenant (in other words, the Antichrist). And after a league made with him (the Peace Pact?) he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. He shall enter PEACEABLY even upon the fattest places of the province (USA & Europe?); he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches (distribution to the poor): yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds (USA), even to a time (like the communists have forecast their plans to redistribute the wealth which the new RESET agenda also addresses)."
Now some will say, "Oh, Dennis, your eschatology is really screwed up. Those verses were fulfilled around 167 BC by the mad Antiochus IV." My answer is simple. First, there is often various fulfillments of one prophecy called "intermittent fulfillment." In other words, some prophecies have a partial fulfillment, but then there is a final fulfillment.
Secondly, if these particular prophecies of Daniel related to the prophecy on the "taking away the daily sacrifice, and placing the abomination of desolations" have been fulfilled, then why did Jesus specifically put them as futuristic? Should we believe the interpretation of Jewish Rabbis that rejected Christ, or Jesus Himself? I believe we should go with Jesus' interpretation.
Some say that Jesus's own words were fulfilled in 70 AD with the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the crucifying of some 1,000,000 Jews at that time as recorded by Jospehus the Jewish/Roman historian. Some scholars like to put Jesus's words in Matthew 24 in the past and consider them done and over. But there are too many conflicting prophecies that were not fulfilled at that time and have been fulfilled since, and or are being fulfilled, or are yet to be fulfilled.
I may not have everything dead right, because much of understanding prophecy involves speculation. Anyone that doesn't admit that, can't be trusted. We are speculating on future events using the words written by the prophets to enlighten our understanding. But our own understanding can be clouded through our own bias, prejudices, sins, and shortcomings. That's why we see many of the prophets praying for understanding, that God might open their heart and mind to His truth.
That's what we need to do. Pray for understanding and pray that the Lord Himself will enlighten are hearts and minds. Of ourselves we can do nothing. He must reveal to our understanding those items He thinks we need to understand. And He will keep clouded those items which are not presently for our edification.
Therefore, let's keep trusting Him that ultimately everything is under His control and He will use it all to draw us closer to Him who is the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus said, "In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33
I'm walking along the beach here, or not the beach, but the river which is off to the right. I'm walking along this beautiful wooden path along the river. You can see the high tide is in with the pools of water here. Today is Sunday and I'm taking a little relaxing afternoon. I went around to see a friend that is sick, but he wasn't in. Here's a beautiful chapter from Apostle Paul, his crowning accomplishment perhaps, besides all the souls that he won, is this chapter in the Bible. It is probably the most quoted, most loved, most well-read and remembered passage in the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 13. It goes like this:
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, i understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man,I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then shall we see face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abides faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
In the chapter just preceding this Paul was talking about the different ministeries in the church. Some are evangelists, some are teachers, some are pastors, some have the gift of healing, some have the gift of miracles, some speak in tongues, some are good administrator. And at the bottom of all that, after giving a long list of all these different ministies of the church, whose ultimate aim is to preach the Gospel, Paul says, and yet I'm going to show you a more excellent way.
Love is the more excellent way, because God is love and He'll never fail. Love never fails. Jesus said that by this shall all men know that you are my disciples because you have love one for another. So if you want to win the world for Christ, if you want to win your brothers and sisters, if you want to win your children, or your grandchildren; your greatest sample is love. That's going to speak louder than anything that you preach, because they are going to look at what you do and then they are going to know that it's true what you say.
Have a good week. May the Lord bless and strengthen you and may He help you walk in love with one another, with your workmates, with your family, with those you meet day to day. I love you. In Jesus's name, Amen.
