Dennis Edwards:
Man has been dreaming of the end of war and peace on earth for milleniums. But since we opened the Pandora Box of disobedience to God in the Garden of Eden, the imagination of the hearts of men has been bent towards evil continually. God destroyed His first creation by the Great Flood because of it. He had to preserve the world from evil men so that the time of the Messiah could come. Jesus came with the message of love and peace to all men who would receive it. But He was rejected by His own people and killed as a common criminal by the Roman authorities.
Jesus sent His disciples with the ministry to bring the truth of the Gospel to all nations starting in Jerusalem. The message went forth and by 325 AD Rome had been converted to the Christian hope. The hope of peace on earth was once again alive. But Christianity under Rome lost its purity and was corrupted by wealth, power, and popularity. The Church allowed the word of God to accompany the sword of conquest. Holy Wars and Just Wars were blessed by the Holy Sea of hypocrisy, corruption, and greed.
When asked by His disciples when He would bring in His kingdom of love and peace, when the present dispensation would end, Jesus answered with innumerable signs. He said we would here of wars and rumers of wars, but the end was not yet. He said nation would lift up sword against nation, and ethnic group against ethnic group, and there would be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All those things were just the beginning of sorrows. True believers would be persecuted for their faith and lack of compliance to the ways of the world.[Matthew 24:5-8]
Jesus added that the Gospel of the kingdom would be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations and then the end would come.[Matthew 24:14] Through today's modern technology the Gospel has been preached in all the world through the written word, through audio and video, through films such as Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ," through the online series "The Chosen." The Gospel has been preached and is being preached through the help on modern technological wonders.
However, these same technological wonders are also preaching another gospel, a gospel that promotes men to be "lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof."[2 Timothy 3:1-5]
Apostle Paul tells us that these same men are waxing worse and worse deceiving and being deceived. [2 Timothy 3:13] Because of mankind's rejection of the way of peace and truth through Jesus, because of our own lusts and covetness, we will turn away our ears from the truth of God's word and will believe new fables dressed in scientific garb. Science will dethrone God and we will worship a god whom our fathers knew not, the god of modern technology. God is dead and Science lives to reign over Him.
The new revolutionary technology is now being used by evil men and seducers to deceive the nations. Jesus warned His disciples that if they were not attentive to His words that even they could be deceived. Apostle John later wrote that all the world would be deceived into worshipping the false Christ, the Antichrist, in the last days. They will even worship a technological "image of the beast" that shall be set up. An "image" that will both speak and some how cause all that will not worship it to be killed.[Revelation 13:14-15] Sounds like the demonic imagery found in George Orwell's "1984."
Lastly, the technological advancement will demand that we be controlled by these evil men. Some type of biometric passport will be obligatory in order to buy or sell, in order to participate in the new world order of things, in order to participate in the Great Reset.[Revelation 13:16-18] We see these advances taking place before our eyes as governments freeze bank accounts of those to whom they disagree. In Canada the government froze the accounts of the peaceful protestors to vaccine passposts. Today governments are freezing the accounts of Russian oligarchs.
We are on the verge of the Great Tribulation spoken of by Jesus Himself and spoken of by the prophets of God from time memorial. Isaiah prophesized it will be a time when men will close their windows and doors and stay inside. Let us a read two short portions from Isaiah's prophecies.
"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity."[Isaiah 26:20-21]
"Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: and they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be in flames."[Isaiah 13:6-8]
Are you ready for the days we are fastly approaching? Your best bet is to get down on your knees right now and accept the Son of God, Jesus Christ into your heart. Call upon Him with all your heart and He promises to manifest Himself unto you. Pick up a New Testament and read and start to follow the way of truth. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes unto the Father, but by me." [John 14:7] Become a disciple today and start to follow Jesus. He promises to take care of His own and to protect whosoever believes and follows Him from the evils that will befall the world. Take Jesus today. Get your seal from God. Don't wait for tomorrow.
"And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."[Revelation 7:2-3] Get your seal of redemption[Ephesians 1:13] or you may end up with the mark of the beast!
