(I did recently read a story about the CIA poison dart gun that leaves no trace).

I agree with Ms. Brown as to the impact, and the import of Scalia’s death, and as I have said, whether Antonin Scalia died of natural causes or  was taken out by special operatives of the New World Order agenda, has no bearing on the situation.  This is exactly the opportunity Obama and those he works for, have been seeking.  Obama doesn’t have to appoint someone today.  He has a year.  A year in which to get together all the dirt he needs on the influential members of Congress who would stand in his way.  Or a year for some of the obstructionists to also die of “natural causes”.  As to God’s judgment for abandoning Him, I say that though we have been blessed more than any other nation, God never had the same Covenant with us, as Israel, so the principle of judging is not really at play, other than the fact that moving away from God results in God also moving away from you, and rejection of truth, naturally results in Spiritual blindness, which leads to madness and delusion.   America will be judged as a nation at the same time God judges all the nations, and that in the Tribulation.  It’s not judgment or punishment but rather natural consequences that take place in a sin-cursed fallen world, that America is suffering from right now.  The removal of all the safety nets and benefits of having honored God in the past.

The main reason I believe Scaliia’s death is a major pivot point, is not simply because of the suspicious circumstances and timing, but because of what it coincides with, in terms of what is happening in the rest of the world.  It is clear that Damascus is now under direct attack, and that when every nation state that has some interest there have all piled on, that fight will move toward Israel.  Not only is America not defending Israel, I wouldn’t be surprised if under CIC Obama, Americans aren’t given direct orders that pit them against Israel. Don’t think we are not involved in what is happening over there even now.  A U.S.-led Coalition staged 30 strikes in Syria and Iraq against Isis yesterday!  If the battles that pave the way for the Global government and Antichrist are falling in place,  it only makes sense that the destruction of America is now waiting in the wings, ready to be the next event to come on stage.

By and large, for the past few years, many of us have watched events and series of events fulfilling prophecy and moving us toward a final showdown, as they have occurred in spurts, with spaces of time in between that were fairly quiet and tame in comparison.  I think that is about to change.  Some people classify us as having just entered the birth pangs, but I think we have been in them a while  and we are now at the point they start getting intense.  In Labor and Delivery nursing lingo, I believe this point in the birth process is referred to as “The Transition”.  The good news about this stage is that it goes faster, and doesn’t last as long as the buildup to it did, in most cases, but the bad news is that of course, it is more intense from here on out to the end.  Contractions come fast, and the birth-giver will often shake and shiver, and as the birthing commences, the birthing woman will become ultra-focused, as everything within her is brought to bear upon the process, so that she may need to eliminate all distractions and even the most gentle and well-intentioned stimuli.  Measures designed to serve as distractors from the pain, such as music or even a caress, will begin to feel rather unbearable for her.  At this point the birth is very near completion, so it is a matter of hanging in there, persevering and bearing through each contraction as it comes.

I think that is a good way for Christians to try and look at the things happening in our world.  There are going to be moments it will feel unbearable.  But remember these are birth pains, and they will each pass, and you just have to get through each of them one at a time.  This is another reason I believe that “all hell breaks loose” simultaneous with the rapture.  Because when the birth process gets here, there is no slowing it, and no rolling it back.  God’s grace seems to allow for moments of reprieve for us when we are going through difficult things, even the most terrible things, to give us the strength to make it a little further, and hang in there a little longer. The age of grace ends when we are raptured, (or rather, the rapture is the end of the age of Grace) and because what is going to happen for the next seven years is so horrendous, God is going to limit the duration of it, and there will not be agonizing pauses, but things will just progress straight through the tribulation.

Christians shouldn’t let your experience of this time become a cumulative thing, but rather forget what happened yesterday, take the latest news “as it comes” and between the scary stuff, remind yourself how it all ends up, and that you are on the winning team in this whole messy process.  God is taking care of the evil, He is keeping score, and He is allowing the pain for the purpose that some might be saved.  And some who are saved during this final hour, might be the very ones you witnessed to and prayed for.

For any unsaved reader of this post, it is crucial for you to call upon the Lord Jesus to save you now, so that you will not have to endure the coming wrath of the Tribulation period.  The Bible promises that it will surpass all tragedy and suffering this world has ever known, and it will be global and no one will be sheltered or spared from these events who remains on Earth.

There is a preponderance of naysayers out there claiming the pre-tribulation rapture is a lie, but in fact they are the ones who have believed and are promoting lies, even though I believe most of them sincerely do  not realize that.  Not believing in the Rapture will not prevent true Christians from being taken up in it.  But if you have never asked God to save you, if you have not placed your trust in the death, burial and resurrection of the sinless Christ who now sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven, you will be left here and you will go through this horrible time.  Call upon the name of the Lord and thou shalt be saved.  He died to pay the penalty we could never pay, because He took the form of a man, faced all the temptations we do, and yet remained sinless and therefore is the only One who could take our punishment in our place.  Believe it, receive it, be born again of the Spirit.  The Bible says ye must be born again.  Salvation is a Spiritual birth.  Forget all that New Age stuff, and the lie that all paths lead to heaven, and that because God is love He will let everyone into heaven.  That is not what He tells us in His Word about His own nature.  His holiness requires that He address sin.  You WILL FACE HIM, in judgment, and there can be only one of two outcomes.  You can face Him with your sins covered by the blood, or you can face Him with your sins still there on your “account” for your refusal to receive the pardon He held out to you.  You may think you have the right to choose to remain a free agent in sin, but you are actually choosing to remain a child of Satan, because that’s who you will be enslaved to instead, and is in fact whom you are serving now.  He lets you believe you are just “doing it your way” but you will learn in the end, that he was the one pulling your strings all along.  Like Woody and Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story, you are just a devils plaything.  He will laugh and you will know the truth and you will bow to Jesus and acknowledge Him as God but it will then be too late.  And you will remember reading this.  Because this is the gospel.  That we are all sinners and unable to make ourselves acceptable to God on our own.  He will judge us, and only by Jesus can anyone enter the gates of Heaven.

Time is almost up.  It’s about to get really crazy and scary in this world for those who don’t know about the life-line God has extended out there for anyone willing to take it.  But much worse for those who knew about it and didn’t bother, and just plain didn’t want it.
