Midnight on the Clock of Eternity
Posted on 23/04/09 17:43
Daily the news reveals a seemingly never-ending litany of encroaching violations on individual liberty. From corporations semi-seized by the government (the government structuring corporate bankruptcies…isn’t that up to the management and shareholders?) to the philosophy of limitation by taxation, no commoner is safe from the clutches of the soulless monolith we call our government.
Seems we’re all kind of scratching our heads these days, wondering how this happened.
The answers are historical, simple, butterfly-effect in action. One little step in Washington can make significant waves in the local ponds in which we swim.
But even if we can answer the how, can we answer the why? Are our current economic woes the result of stupidity and greed, or something more sinister? I contend these are not the right questions...
I have an opinion. Opinions rather quickly turn into truth or error. I really do wish my opinion would prove to be wrong.
This is no prediction. It’s an observation. But there is an agenda at work in the seeming destruction of our economic world. And its origin is other worldly.
My opinion, which I desperately hope to be wrong, is also a question, which I know to be right. For the right question to ask is, “What time is it?”
It won’t help to look at your watch. To answer this question requires reading the sky, reading the weather, reading the cultural climate. It’s no longer five till 12. It’s midnight.
We are on the verge of seeing what has long been predicted. Many have suspected that we are the generation of apocalypto, and we are here.
Midnight on the clock of eternity, the point where the lawless one who seems like the blessed one will be revealed. If we’re at midnight, he must be around somewhere.
There’s always a prospect here. No one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return, and that certainly includes Satan. So he must always have a man waiting in the wings, doing the necessary groundwork to prepare for his revelation.
What if you knew he was here? Waiting for the cataclysm that would catapult him to worldwide fame and acceptance? What if you knew who he was?
Even if you don’t know, what are you going to do about this knowledge? It should change the way you live. Urgency should characterize every believer’s walk with Christ, like never before.
So for at least a couple of blogs, I’ll give you my thoughts on this latter chapter of the Great Story that has been written since before the beginning of time.
