My license expires in 2030, and perhaps you have noticed, yours does too? The extended renewal date makes perfect common sense to me, since I always thought it a cheap money grab, to have the ministry of transportation charge for stickers on plates, and fees for drivers every single year, for licenses that have not changed one iota. What exactly were they charging for? I know, I know! Digit ID's are the near future threat - we see the plan.
With the AGENDA in place, and 2030 looming, the global Satan's seed wicked ones that wreak havoc in our world, are attempting to ominously declare: It will be finished. The words, It is finished, belong to the Lord of glory, Jesus Christ. He declared these words, It is finished, when he conquered death on the cross. The reprobates attempt to appropriate and bastardize this theme, by implying to the populace, Life as you know it, is finished. We are in charge of your life, and we determine how and when you suffer, and when you will die. Try as they might to display superiority, the flexing of weak muscles on the part of the globalists, is impertinent child's play to God Almighty. God has seen every ploy, every shady, insidious, and sneaky attempt to overrule his sovereignty, and it is utterly ridiculous to him to see his creatures mock him, while plotting and planning the demise of the human race, as commissioned by their master, Lucifer. We must look to scripture for our guidance and responses, and today, we take into account Rahab, following a short foray into the first commandments given by God to his peculiar people, the Israelites, and a little commentary, meant to encourage, from yours truly.
What God takes very seriously, and warns against, in these his first commands, is the worship of idol gods, and taking God's name in vain:
Exodus 20:1-7
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Spiritual bondage, dear one, is what we are currently addressing. The ruler of this world wants you and I to bow down physically, as an outward indicator of our fealty to him. God delivered his people from Egypt, but they still had to live in this world, with all of its temptations, trials, and difficulties, not the least of which, are the demonic instigative forces that work to undo you and I, from the inside out. By faith, we can clear eyed stare at what we see transpiring, and we can, like the men and women of faith that went before us, do as they have done, by trusting in God as our Way, our Truth, our Life.
Now, let us take a brief look at Rahab, and how she can inspire faith in us, her spiritual kin.
Hebrews 11:31
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Here is Matthew Henry's commentary on this potent slice of scripture, extracted from Acts to Revelation, Volume 6, page 756:
The signal preservation of Rahab. Joshua gave a strict charge that she should be spared, and none but she and hers; and she taking care that, the sign, the scarlet thread, should be hung out, her family were marked out for mercy, and perished not. Singular faith, when the generality are not only unbelievers, but against believers, will be rewarded with singular favours in times of common calamity.
And the walls, come tumbling down, the walls...
The Israelites were rescued from slavery in Egypt, and Jericho was the frontier town in Canaan, that stood as opposition to the acquiring of the promised land. Rahab was an inhabitant, and a well known woman by the townspeople, and yet, she, a harlot, was the only one in the entire city, that believed in the living God of the Israelites. One thing that people tend to neglect when they think of The Bible accounts, is how astounding it must have been, for everyone in that time frame, to hear about the fall of Pharaoh, the plagues that decimated the Egyptians, and the grand exodus of the Israelites. It struck fear in many a heart, to see hundreds of thousands of Hebrews entering into the land of promise, knowing God had given it to them! Rahab had faith, and by faith, she acted as an agent for the Israelite spies, with the condition of preservation for her, and her family, when men and beast alike, were destroyed in Jericho. Rahab's singular faith, was rewarded with singular favours.
The evil ones want to stir up panic.
The evil ones want you and I, to believe they are in charge.
The evil ones want us to bow down to them, as our gods.
The evil ones want us to tremble in fear; they want us to think they are in charge of our life, and death.
What they don't want, is for us to read The Bible, pray, proclaim the gospel truth, dispel lies, act in faith, and declare Jesus Christ as King. Christ's cross was the ultimate tearing down of strongholds, and as believers sojourn and make our way to the heavenly Canaan, we trust that our peculiar orders, when we are commissioned to take directions, will result in peculiar favours, that only God and God alone, can be glorified by.
Those that do not believe in God have committed spiritual harlotry. The globalists are common place whores, that sold their souls for some shiny bits of earthly fools gold. Bunkers have been built and fortified for them, and they believe that hiding in the middle of a mountain, after they have pushed a red button of destruction, will preserve them. Silly little men:
Revelation 6:12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Is the end near? Perhaps it is, but these are Jesus' words to his curious disciples:
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
If you too, are curious, and want to know what constitutes end times signs, read the book of Matthew. God reigns supreme, dear one, and try as they weakly might, the frail and threatening men of this world, do not determine your final destination. It is by faith we are saved, not fright, and it is the soul that belongs to God - he is in charge of you and yours, and will provide for you as he sees fit, when the world tips sideways and starts to drop people off it.
Post Script Uno: Worldlings cling to creature comforts, and indulge the flesh in carnal pleasures. They know not, that they starve the soul, when it is treated like a second class citizen. Currently, we see spiritual famine all around us, and this is what kills, dear one. Food for the mouth is good; the Word of God for the spirit, is better yet.
Post Script Due: New Zealand is one of the top countries of choice for the building of bunkers by those that think they can live in the lap of human luxury, while avoiding the wrath of God, for their egregious crimes against him, and his people.
