Distortion and Camouflage

My thoughts are not very collected and this has come out as a disjointed rant...for eloquence see Gary, Jeff and Sam :)

We were talking last night about the state of the prophetic conversation in the U.S.

Much conflict.  Interesting this wasn't true (at least in our estimation) during the conversations on Jonathan Cahn and The Harbinger.  We didn't see this during the Blood Moons.

Many big names and big ministries picked up The Harbinger and ran with it and then in 2015 when nothing happened - crickets.

Now that 9/23 and Revelation 12 are being discussed there is far more conflict.

Perhaps it's just that we are catching some small flak and that we're more attuned to this tension.

As always in the prophetic community many of the comments revolve around trying to identify the antichrist or false prophet, or debate the pre-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath and post-trib views.  There seems to be an insatiable capacity for the Church to debate the nature of the revived Roman empire, the date, the hour and how it will all unfold.

We do indeed sharpen each other and God reveals many things to many different people.  There is a place for encouraging and sharpening.

But sad really that there is such an abundance of energy for these topics when in just a few weeks it could all be academic.

Things that last like peace, joy, mercy and sharing truth with those who are at the brink of destruction are in short supply.  Rarely does someone ask the body of believers that visit Unsealed or any of the other blogs and channels that we follow for prayer and help in reaching a friend who is far from God.  It seems the energy and focus is out of wack.

We affirm again that our posts are intended to point people to Him.  There's not very much in the world of prophecy that we can say with great certainty.  We are certainly not prophets, nor sons thereof.   We know something of the outline and have some strong opinions and ideas about the ideas, but we don't know.

We would like for the information to be taken as a way to spur each other towards love and good deeds, knowing the time is short.

That's about it.

We have seen clear fulfillments on occasion, such as in the Arab Spring or in the alignment of Russia and Iran, but mostly we are highlighting events that seem to or may be fulfilling or leading towards prophetic fulfillment.

The ENP, fish deaths, bird deaths, economic cliff, ecologic cliff, technical alignment, EU, MOB development, depravity and short-term unsustainability have all clearly indicated that we are out of time.

We speculate on dates occasionally, but that's what they are and we say that clearly.  Sad that in this fear-riddled Church you can't even discuss something if you can't prove it with an 100% indestructible proof text.

We believe Christ's return is close and that someone on the current world stage will become the AC and so we offer some bios on various present day world leaders, perhaps this will help someone in the troubled period that is to come.

However, with Revelation 12 and 9/23/2017 we and many others before us and beside us seem to have hit a nerve...that's exceedingly good news!

To help bring realignment and focus, Gary has been bringing us back to more discussions on how to be saved and what it means to be saved. This is of course primary objective #1!

Stunning how much works-based fear permeates Christendom.  I always thought it was limited to my particular denominational background.  Not true.

A vast array of Christ followers are people who are deeply afraid of God and desperate to better their position.  I have news for you: you can't, you can't, you can't and you don't need to, you don't need to, you don't need to, it is finished, it is finished, it is finished!!!

Hallelujah.

Amazing how many are threatened if we don't share their view of the Tribulation's timing, their understanding of who the AC will be, their view that we can't even talk about who the AC might be - since he will not be revealed..., their view that we can't even talk about the day or the hour or most especially in regard to the nature of salvation.

Many look to us for validation and assurance of salvation.

Wow. Stunning.

None of us will be saved by our wisdom and no one writing articles can save you either.

Our salvation is all about Him and His finished work on the Cross. PERIOD.

I know that God is.  I know that apart from God's grace in creation, God's great love, God's great patience and God's overwhelming and awesome and stunning and shocking gift of Himself in the form of His Son I am a dead man.

In this time of growing apostasy, sifting and heart exposure, we see some common themes:

• -Self-preservation "when do we leave" without much care for those who are lost
• -Debate, debate and more debate
• -Fear - much fear 

We love when we get a "thanks for the heads up", "you might be right", or "think I'll repent", stemming from a great love for God's gift and the apparent nearness of His return.  Better still, a "I think I'll share the urgency with a friend."

It seems that the closer we get the more infighting is occurring.  Why is that?  We saw far fewer people fighting over The Harbinger, the Blood Moon Tetrad, or before that with 88 Reasons in 1988.

Why would satan want us at each others throats right now?  Why would he want comments on articles to be so full of conflict that a curious unbeliever would curl up their nose and move along?

Why would there be so much misinformation and confusion?  Conspiracies and misinformation flourish and have for some time... Benghazi, 9/11 "Truth", Kennedy - Oswald, Watergate, birtherism, Russia and election hacking, FBI director James Comey, Roswell, Area 51, Nibiru - Planet X, FEMA camps, Bilderbergs, Illuminati, free masons, Marilyn Monroe's death, Elvis is alive, Iran Contra, the Vietnam body count, "I am not a crook", the secret bombings of Laos and Cambodia, Fukushima radiation impacts,  BP oil spill environmental impacts, etc.

It seems we can't believe anything and with the lies and fake news you can't find truth if you wanted to.  Why is fake news a thing right now?

In our flesh we blame everyone, except the author of lies.

He does not want you to know the truth that Christ is coming.

He wants you numb to the noise and/or fighting the wrong battles.

And so far he's being pretty successful wouldn't you say?

It seems to me the noise, confusion and deception have reached a crescendo.

Why?  Because he knows his time is short and the author of lies (Ephesians 6:12) is desperate to stop as many as possible.

Matthew 13:15 (NASB):
For the heart of this people has become dull, With their ears they scarcely hear, And they have closed their eyes,
Otherwise they would see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them.

Reminded of the U.S. Military's strategy just before the Panamanian invasion of filling the sky with aircraft movements and the radio waves with misinformation.  You know something's up, but not when, where or how.  The enemy is doing the same thing.

Let's be about our Father's business.  Share the Most Wonderful Good News.  Tell people that time for repentance is all but over.  Be ready.

And let's be kind.  let our words be seasoned with salt so that they may bless the hearer.

When He comes for His bride will we be ready?

When He is grieving over sin, grieving over the lost, grieving over judgments He must release on those He loves and desperately wants to redeem, will our only words be "what's on the wedding feast menu" and "will I be able to sit close to Him?"
