Evil is rampant . . . But Jesus is coming

44 ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET” ’?

Matthew 22:44 (NASB95)

I have been worrying alot about what Jesus calls “the world.” For example the systematic destruction of our food supply (e.g. cows in Ireland) and billionaires requesting and paying for university research and development of “tattoos” (not microchips) that I believe will be used for the Mark of the Beast to control buying and selling and therefore used for controlling people. Then, this morning, I read the above verse. God the Father told Jesus He would put Jesus’ enemies beneath Jesus’ feet. So exactly what am I worried about? God the Father is in control and everything God the Father does will work together for the good of those who love God the Father and Jesus.

Satan controls “the world” and is a murderer. He will not like those of us who stand up to him by the power of Jesus who is The Truth. Satan may kill us. But then, that’s what he did to Jesus, Paul, James, the Apostles . . . and it has not stopped The Truth (who is Jesus).

Jesus said do not fear those who can only kill the body and after that can do nothing more . . . Rather, fear God who can send to hell.

These are the final days and I look forward to Jesus coming in the clouds with great glory. I may see him come before I die, or after I die . . . But He will come . . . To the joy of His followers . . . And to the shudders of everyone else.

A different concept of conflict . . .

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NASB95)

    4      . . .for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

    5      We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. . .

Followers of Jesus have a different concept of conflict. Our goal is not to destroy the one against us or against the Truth, but rather that they may have the chance to know the Truth for themselves. When they realize we are not against them, but rather against evil, they have a choice to make. They can listen to the Truth, follow the Truth, and ask the Truth to live in them. Or, they can reject the Truth and go their own way. They will then find they will be fighting against God. Justice will be done by God, and they will find themselves forever without God.

Our “weapons” are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long-suffering, truth, justice, mercy, forgiveness . . .  The “fortresses” we are destroying by these “weapons” are lies, deceit, injustice, hatred of God, hatred of people, and thoughts against the love of Jesus. There is no law against this.

100% JESUS

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:14,27
