Do I need to prove to you the widespread existence of anti-Semitic hatred that has been hiding in the hearts of so many? Obviously not! However, what did surprise me was the level of Jew hatred that has shown its ugly mug here in Australia. Sure, I knew there was some, it's everywhere... but... but... the extent to which it has gripped this nation is astonishing! Really, I should not be surprised that since Australia completely left the cover of God's law then the influx of people adhering to that demonic-minded belief system full of oppression, hatred and violence (which I shall not name but you know what it is, that beast which comes up from the bottomless pit) has hugely increased and their threatening influence is so excessive now that they get away with all manner of law-breaking with hardly a peep out of the police or the government. Australia is surely in rapid decline. As with other western nations which have foolishly fallen prey to the beliefs of the globalist materialists, the increasing division is accelerating the demise of modern civilisation... but then, with a heart as rotton as a one-week-old cadaver putrefying in the desert sun, there really is no surprise.
We know that, despite the evils of Israel, it is still a nation of God's promise, for He never breaks His oath and he made a promise to Abraham that whoever curses Abraham, and by extension his descendents, will be cursed by God and whoever blesses Abraham and thus his descendents will be blessed by God. Which descendents, though? I would argue it must be those who kept the faith of Abraham. One could argue that it applies only to the spiritual descendents of Abraham but, from observations of history and in spite of the suffering over the millennia of the remnant of ancient Israel, the Jewish nation, we see that it is not Christians who are unconditionally blessed in the present world, not at all, but the Jews who, wherever they go, do so well or, at least, that is the case until the Jew-hating demonic spirit takes hold of the people around them, which it appears to do time and time again. After all, why do demons hate those people so much more than anyone else? Through them came the Messiah, through them came God's law and promises, through them came the hope of the world and through them will come God's government on Earth. As the Lord said, salvation is of the Jews. Remember that the twelve apostles, who are twelve Jews and the original Christians, are twelve chief justices, each one presiding over 12,000 regional justices scattered all over the world and they are all under the rulership of Christ... that is the structure of the government to come. Little wonder that the devil so desperately wants to rid the world of those people for, in doing so, not only would he destroy the hope in God's promises for israel but he would also utterly destroy the hopes of all Christianity for, if the Jewish nation ceases to be then why wouldn't their spiritual counterpart, Christianity? Clearly, as God is God and the devil is not, such a plan can never succeed. Oooooh it must be so deeply irritating and frustrating to that old serpent, so horrible to him but so inevitable. It would be like having your head thoroughly super-glued to a rail as a freight train was coming down the track, the outcome so utterly inevitable.
As noted in a previous post, this is all about bringing the crop to full maturity, the righteousness of the righteous out in full view and the wickedness of the wicked out in full view, bringing completely out into the open all that is hiding in each and every heart, so that when the harvesters come then they will make no mistakes. First, the weeds to be gathered and bundled together to be destroyed and only then the gathering in of the wheat.
However, there is much to pass through before we reach that place, before the day of the Lord comes, so much must we endure and many will not reach that day, perhaps as many as one in two or three people. The events of the past couple of years are dramatic and we see an ongoing escalation of drama, with each new catastrophe, whether war or natural disaster, outstripping previous events in suddenness, sometimes also in extent, and then followed by an apparent lull. So acclimated to the craziness of it all do we become that the intervening periods seem almost calm, though they are anything but calm. So, upon each new drastic event, do not consider it in the light of other recent events but instead in the light of events at least a decade or more ago. Then you will gain a better sense of how truly dramatic each event really is and you will also get a much better sense of the words of the Lord, wherein He described the events of the last days as being like birth pangs, each stronger than the last, with each interval shorter than the previous.
It is always difficult to estimate what is about to come, often being not much better than a guess. We do eventually gain twenty-twenty hindsight when we finally properly understand the fulfillment of scriptural prophecy in a historical context, but then we're still left wondering exactly where we are in that prophetic narrative of scripture. However, what we do not need to wonder about is whether or not God can be trusted. The creator of all and the author and finisher of our faith can be completely trusted, no matter how difficult it appears to us at times. Not man, but God, trust God.
