I have a
problem with assumptions and this is one that was recently pointed out to me
and that is the fact that I assume most people, especially Christians, know
that the heavens contain signs that God uses regularly to denote times. When
Jesus says that we should “look up” in Luke 21:28 he is saying look for signs
above. These signs come from natural objects i.e. meteorites, asteroids, comets,
planets, stars and constellations.
Genesis
1:14 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Isaiah
13:10 “For the stars of heaven and the
constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall
be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine.”
Jeremiah 10:2 “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the
way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them”
|
Matthew 16:3 “And in the morning, It
will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites,
ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
Luke 21:11 “And great earthquakes
shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heaven.”
Luke 21:25 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring”
Acts 2:19 “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth
beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke”
Luke 21:28 “And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Read Luke 21 with a discerning eye
and read it as it is written, don’t add your interpretation or your church’s
understanding and you will see what these things that are soon to come upon
Christians, Israel and the world as a whole are spoken of in a specific
timeline of events. Once you have read this you will hopefully see that
persecution must come first. Christians today are being hunted down and
beheaded in the Middle East and Africa, how soon will it be before this begin
to happen elsewhere and don’t think it won’t happen.
The Persecution of whom? It is they
that:
Luke 21:12 “But before all
these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake.”
Revelation 12:17 “…keep the
commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Today Christians are reviled in
America and made fun of constantly; almost everything on television is geared
toward a re-interpretation of Biblical prophecy and scriptural history.
Deception is used in our daily lives as seen by what our government says and
does is not necessarily the truth. The programming on television is also a
deceptive and rather malicious form of re-interpretation with shows like
Ancient Aliens, Ghost Hunters, Sleepy Hallow, Paranormal Witness, etc...
These are attempts at misdirection
with the goal of creating questions in the minds of men. This tactic began long
ago with Adam and Eve being told by Satan,
Genesis 3:4 “And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:”
Genesis 3:5 “For God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.”
This is just Satan trying to
undermine and twist the words of God into a lie and that humans should seek
their own answers with the continual help of Satan. The groundwork has been
laid for the persecution of Christians which currently underway, it just hasn’t
arrived on our shores yet.
