It is something that I've speculated upon.....but never really took that speculation to heart....because I already knew it was bad! In other words....I considered the question before....but only as it relates to a debate.....not actually imagining as if it was actually happening....until last evening....on my bed at night....using that bed not primarily as a place to sleep.....but a dark comfortable place to meditate....and I became unnerved!
The question is this.....for arguments sake I will allow that Jesus will not return for many years....twenty or thirty years bare minimum....which is about what most of evangelicalism admits to. I lay there and looked at the immediate and further future....five....ten.....fifteen or more years. I simply looked at America and the world and the wars that are surely ahead....world wars....and the economic collapse somewhere just ahead because of the absolutely unsustainable debt and the bubbles brought on by greed. I saw how the world despises even the thought of God....except the gods of the earth and water and so on. I saw the trends everywhere....particularly in artificial intelligence and drone technology....that are out of control....and all headed down to hell in a handbasket....and how we took a serious pandemic....which was God's judgment....on us....and turned it into a political ploy. I saw how we on our side do not care one bit about how the virus came about or how it was handled....that's all for the TV....for we only care how we can turn this into a political goldmine. And I saw how the church itself is fast becoming the chief enemy of Christians....and how our pulpits are vacant as to any discernment on what is happening....and how the demonic is being unleashed everywhere. All this came flooding in in an instant....for I already knew it!Here's the kicker. This that I described is what evangelicals think will be all taken care of if only they get the Congress and White House back! They can describe tyranny....but cannot envision dystopia. They can lament socialism....but failed to spot deception....and thus fell into great delusion. The only vision they care to have is of Tucker Carlson blathering away night after night. I don't know if I said this to myself upon that bed or not.....but the feeling was there....."Come Lord Jesus!"
Evangelicals in general are unaware of the totality of the problem....which is judgment....for God has blinded them....this because they showed no interest in knowing anything except how to make America great again...and this as false prophets are everywhere in the church....false signs and false wonders. Come Lord Jesus!
So....for the sake of argument....Jesus is not coming soon....He is not at the very door....now your turn.....for the sake of argument....politics cannot stop what is coming. Look ahead....view the panorama of this storm....let it sink in without someone shouting in your ear about some election. See if you also do not find yourself saying....'Come Lord Jesus!'
